Beamer eh?I wonder if he is anything to Todd Beamer?
This program will have a multiplier effect on the strategic use of sniper teams. Those men have very heavy burdens to bear, and their credentials have to be impeccable.
May the White Feathers continue to be victorious!

The best sniper “bullet” shouldn’t even be a moving projectile affected by range trajectory or winds.
Laser rifles.
Line of sight, instant kill factor, and totally silent.
Spend a couple of billion and make it man-portable, has a kill range only restricted by its optics.

I predicted 20 years ago that guided sniper systems would make their way to the battlefield.

When will this technology move into the civilian world? This would really help me squirrel hunting.

Of course you know I love this kind of stuff and love that my country has these capabilities, but I can't help thinking in the back of my mind, the gubmint will be hunting me some day with night vision, aerial drones, GPS, thermal sights that see through walls, and now bullets that can't miss, .50 caliber no less.( ouch!) The Second Amendment is great except your dead about 32 seconds after the war starts by someone that pushed a button 3000 miles away.
Now they can microwave you if you just want to protest in the street so you may as well stay home.
I remember feeling how helpless the towel heads must feel to throw themselves into battle with what we have arrayed against them. Just watch some video's and see them not even know they are being watched from miles away and a strike is called in from 30,000 ft from an AC 130 gunship. The first inkling that something is wrong is your buddy's liver hits you in the face. I guess all war is that way it just seems more efficient now. Now an idiot draftee can point a .50 cal your general direction and hit your brain pan from a mile away. The bullet may have to make a 90 degree turn to get there, but the bullet is smarter than the draftee.

There’s a bible verse that might cover this:
Revelation 13:4
Men worshiped the dragon because he had given authority to the beast, and they also worshiped the beast and asked, “Who is like the beast? Who can make war against him?”

I feel citizens should be given more than a fighting chance against their own military. That was the purpose of the Second Amendment, and it worked pretty well up until about the 1940's when tanks and air platforms were perfected. Still, even then, rifles and pistols were no joke.
However: How do you balance the need for citizens to have access to the full array of military hardware (the purpose of the Second Amendment), against the need to prevent a crazed citizen (or a Muslim -- same thing, really) from using said military hardware to effect great damage in the name of either Allah or the Little Green Leprechauns That Haunt Me In My Dreams And Live In My Closets (same thing, really)?
To: Lazamataz; chuckles
Your comments bring to mind the importance of Oath Keepers and the 2nd Amendment. There will only be a small number of people who can issue the ‘Kill’ command. Us, the people and our 2nd Amendment will always keep these people walking on their tip toes wondering if their last command wasn’t suicidal.

I think it's always important to let these few people know that we know where they live. They may get a few of us, but before the sun goes down, I would hope some one would visit their wives and kids. The advantage of fighting a war from afar is wifey and kiddo's are thousands of miles away. If the Police Chief or National Guard Major know you know where they live and go to church, they may read the "kill" order more carefully.
Back when Clinton and Reno were up to their tricks, Reno asked a military force, ( I think Delta Force), if they would fire on American citizens to confiscate their guns if ordered to. It was about 9 to 1 would refuse. Everyone seemed to relax knowing that they wouldn't fire on us under orders, but I was concerned about the 10% that would.
