Game changing I guess as long as the laser can be used effectively but they have limitations. How is this more effective than a simple grenade launcher?
Exactly!
The difference is in the precision. The charge is programmed precisely when to go off, thus when firing at a target behind said ‘mud wall,’ it will only explode after it has passed the wall. Direct and extremely effective artillary fire.
Well for starters it's accurate to 700 meters. It's also programmable to explode overhead or behind the target. The $25,000 price tag might discourage the average 'hunter' in your neighborhood for having one, but for the troops in the sandbox it just might fill the bill.
P.S. If we could get a collection going, I might be able to find a spot in my gunsafe for one. (I live in a great neighborhood. I'd like to keep it that way.)
Conventional grenade launchers’ projectiles are usually impact fused and often cannot be used against people hiding behind walls due to angles and ranges. The ones that are time fused are often difficult to set so they’ll go off at the appropriate range.
This thing takes the guesswork out of the equation.
It’s better than a grenade launcher because you can precisely control the range at which the grenade explodes in flight rather than waiting for it to hit something.
If a bad guy is behind a wall, you laze the wall and get the range. Then you shoot over the wall and the grenade explodes 2-3 meters above and behind the guy hiding behind the wall.
