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.
