Ever seen the damage a 25/30 mm cannon can do? It is ugly. For any thing else, the mech inf platoons rocket launchers will suffice, or still a 106mm RCLs mounted on the APC is good enough. I've seen pics of some during the 1st Gulf war (mounted on M113s).
Besides, the US infantry/marines will always have their armour support with the Abram tanks (mech inf and tanks work together), so there you have your heavy firepower.
