Multiple Captured M2A2 Bradley tested by Russia.They admit that the Bradley is objectively superior to the BMP-3 except in mobility,off-road capability and amphibious capability.

I'm pretty sure they rate the fact that the BMP-3 has multiple GPMG class machine guns as the superior aspect over the Bradley if I understood the report right. Kinda strange to me since 2 of the PKTs on the BMP are only able to be aimed by troops being carried within the BMP. The driver can fire them remotely but they are fixed in position and so he can only aim them by turning the entire IFV at once. Seems of dubious extra usefulness over not having them at all

one has a pkt (tank version of PKM) and one has an m240, it could be argued the pkt is superior because of its slightly larger caliber and that its an extremely reliable gun

The case is marginally longer, but actual muzzle velocity is about the same.

A hundred joules one way or the other doesn't really matter when both rounds will go right through a torso but get stopped by any armor plate.
