The M1128 Stryker mobile gun system (MGS) carries the M68A1E4 105 mm cannon. The principal function of the MGS is to provide rapid direct fire to support assaulting infantry. [28] The cannon is mounted in a low-profile, fully stabilized turret integrated into the Stryker chassis. [29] The M68A1E4 is based on the M68A1E2 105mm cannon's design.
