Yes, the C6 doesn't fit inside the Leopard 2A4M turret. It has one MG3A1 7.62x51mm caliber coaxial machine gun. They even use the same link at the M3 as disintegrating link jams the M3.

Actually we only used the MG3 on the initial 20 Leopard 2s that we borrowed from Germany to replace the Leopard 1s we were using in Afgahistan. Once we started getting the Canadianized version delivered around 2010 they were fitted with C6s both coaxially and in the AA mount.

It's that German Engineering.
