FWIW, I remain a fan of the old *obsolete* Lahti L39 20mm AT rifle, known to Finnish troops as the Norsupyssy.

Isn't that one of the guns Henry Bowman used in Unintended Consequences.

I want two!

Yeah, 'cause if you only own one and you really need it - chances are you left it at work by mistake.

The XM-109 is an excellent weapon to reach out and touch the enemy. But when they get close...

Nothing beats out my 75 year old technology!

Oh man, you're right -- can't tell you how many times that's happened. :)

Posted earlier cause I did it.

I petted one when our engineering class got to tour Barrett's manufacturing facility here in Tennessee about 7 years ago. I had no idea it was about 5 miles away.... very nice surprise.

Wow. Too bad the ranges around here are too short, and would have kittens, and I don't have the money...
