The MXT135 Counter Defilade Target Engagement System has a range of roughly 7,800 feet - and is to be deployed in Afghanistan soon. I would call it the "Equalizer." Some call it the "Punisher".

This rifle system is real, it is now and it will be one of the most significant military advancements in history.

Go to the source, read it and view the pics. I'm stoked!

They just can’t simply call it a rifle, can they? They ave to mess it up with stupid government jargon.

Enfilade and defilade
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enfilade_and_defilade

Enfilade and defilade are concepts in military tactics used to describe a military formation’s exposure to enemy fire. A formation or position is “in enfilade” if weapons fire can be directed along its longest axis. A unit or position is “in defilade” if it uses natural or artificial obstacles to shield or conceal itself from enfilade.[1] The strategies invented by the English use the French enfiler (”to put on a string or sling”) and défiler (”to slip away or off”) which the English nobility used at that time.[2]

Enfilade fire, a gunfire directed against an enfiladed formation or position, is also commonly known as “flanking fire”.[1] Raking fire is the equivalent term in naval warfare. Strafing, firing on targets from a flying platform, is often done with enfilade fire.

Jihadists will tether women and children to them. They will have a direct line to the European press which will cry out about all the innocent women and children being killed.

'$11,900.00 each.'

Crazy. Only America would spend and waste that much money.

That is really cool. The rounds can be dialed in to explode at a range of the shooter’s choosing. No wonder the rounds are $45.00 each.

I'm stoked!

This is an anti-sniper weapon.

Expect to see every SWAT team equipped with them soon. Will you be so "stoked" then?

Very cool! Let’s see how many hours it will take before the Chinese and Russians get their hands on one.

Hard time believing a round will be only $45

Probably.

But first, the EPA and the IRS will get them, followed by Obamacare navigators and the Chicago PD.

A bit later, Holder’s friends in Mexico will get them so they can roll up the U.S. Border Patrol who will of course be denied their use.

I have no idea why people on this forum are excited about new weapons at this point in history. They will be used in service of a criminal regime.

It would be nice to know the velocity 7800 feet seems optimistic unless the round has some decent velocity.

How accurate are they can they drop a round into a couple foot hole.

Other wise overhead cover defeats it.

Only $45 ?
I’m a bit surprised they are that inexpensive.
Sourced from China?
