[quote:96e0d]All Bradleys are amphibious. Earlier models are equipped with a water barrier, which is fitted by the crew before entering the water. A3 models have an inflatable pontoon which fits on the front and sides of the vehicle. Water propulsion is provided by tracks and the Bradley can attain a maximum speed of 7.2km/h in water.[/quote:96e0d]

In my book that makes them not amphibious. Its like the DD shermans on DDay, sure they were "amphibious" but not so. In fact when being trained on the bradly there was no mention made of it being amphibious.
