I saw footage of M4s and M249s firing at a cinder block wall. It was being chewed down. At close ranges the 5.56mm would stop the largest man wearing most armor. Especially since the M4 uses a 3 round burst.

It isn't autonomous since the operator does sight it in to target an area.

I don't think 50 years is needed. A weapon system that can fire a disposable 'mortar' launch (to gain altitude), deploy 'glide' type fins (conventional mortar rounds can do something like this already) and then have some sort of auto-target selection (based on heat sensing, etc.) The main attraction to this type of weapon is portability and covering large areas of front. Its a dispersed system unlike a conventional mortar that is a fixed weapon site. The weapon would have top attack capability, target priority selection (go for armor first... if not detected.. other vehicles or groups of infantry, etc). A dual purpose warhead (small HEAT round in front, thermobaric/fragmentation in rear) gives lethality against most battlefield targets. The firer would just have a simple folding bipod that allows the weapon to be roughed in for direction and range. Its basically fire and forget. The initial launch could be high-pressure/low-pressure followed by a rocket stage that gets it up to altitude. Its then a glide bomb till it reaches the target. It can be fired from behind cover (small hills, large buildings, trees) and bleeds the enemy. Its a weapon for use in conventional situations rather than urban counter-insurgency.

I would design a large, disposable, hi-pressure-low-pressure, 'flying-claymore'. Range is 50-200 meters. Device uses the principal of the US 40mm grenade launcher. It is stuck in the ground, angled for range, and fired. The payload would have the effect of a 120mm mortar round. Detonation is a few feet off ground. Device gives defending infantry a means to break up attacks before they can close in. It allows an infantry unit to quickly break contact and flee without needing to haul a heavy weapon with it. Total weight, 40 pounds. One per squad. Allows infantry to quickly grab and contest ground.

Was this weapon supposed to spin, and generate lift (like a baseball), such that they could be aimed and fired direct with accuracy? A large sphere of plastic explosive?

Why don't you all just shut up with casual jokes about people fighting in Iraq? I still know career soldiers that fought in IraQ_1 and hated the whole ****. I was a soldier with them a long time ago. We were soldiers together. 'We' (now) mostly civilians had a reunion with all the guys in our old unit. A few had stayed in for the whole 20. 'They' did not like IraQ1. 'We' were not 'we' anymore. If you haven't stood a post(1), taken a swear(2), been a soldier(3) and known that all the above (1 through 3) is just total **** compared to how you feel about being a Bud in the service and knowing that you would, and could, fight to the death, and fight for someone other than yourself, the same way, then just shut the hell up. Given the way they felt about post Iraq_1, I would hate to know how they feel now. E-6 and above all of them. So shut up. The modern state of affairs in the world is not a joke or a game.

OOOFfaaaH! Evil Juices have rejuvinated me!!! The damnded is.. j.costello@verizon.net ? Good as dead. Maybe better than that with luck. fugk, who knows? Maybe a churlish half-man? In any regards a simple quitter, a self-justified loser, a flailing snot-gobbler, surely, A.. A... A ..victem. A simple victem. A person that could likely come back for more; but surely, a loser, and ultimately; a quitter. OK. Lets play. I like CMBB and CMAK.

Filth! You will die just like that fill-in Priest in the Exorcist. He flaked. Eh, many do. He was out of his league and so are you. I only play to to humiliate the human race. In Hell, we have structered leagues. Its hard. Cheating is impossible. And the girls have diseases. Good enough. That word-spurter Seanachai has self-absorbed magically enveloping anti-evil powers. All demons, at the conventions, shake their heads and mutter similiarly. Its just some dumb lugky chit and thats it. Fugk them and all thieir fuggkin ilkksz. Ok. where's me beer(s)? ...none. Must bust into the wifv'z secret cooking supp-pu-lie. You are one dead damned fool.

So whats the big deal? If understand the process correctly, Seanachai exchanges setups and then never finishes a game. Why can't he extend the courtesy to me? Its not an uncommon game anomaly. Most players are churlish, personality-disorder-riddled semi-personalities. Why does Seanachai have to act like such an impish debutante? He knows he craves humiliation, hopeless situations, depression and any excuse (including a broken shoelace) to drink himself into a silly caricature of whatever he once fancied himself.

Is white phoshorous a Weapon of Miss Destruction?

I have been informed that Seanachai is some wordsmith of great import! How was I to know? I had no idea he was the one that writes those nifty sentiments in the birthday cards in the supermarket. The clock is ticking, and a might loudly for you Mr. Seanachai. PLease honor me with a death match before its just too late.

i fell asleep before the 'secondly'. You are, thank God, a cure for insomnia.

Seanachai Well, good, excellent. Because I want to ask you something. Do you ever find yourself alone, deeply drunk, pasted in front of a TV screen, not quite paying particular attention to anything internal or external...? ..and sense the faceless nameless sense of someone that enters your abode with no effort? You are a passive observer that has accepted silly numbness as a tolerable sacrifice for being yourself in your own life. But you still sense an entity or presence beyond yourself if not vaguely? Weak, ignored, dismissed at first; But now, grown stronger? suspected gone, known a bit? felt and secretely feared? You are not quite exactly focused on the entity/event. Even at this advanced age. Its as if the shadow that creeps in your peripheral vision/awareness is somewhat 'accepted'/ignored. You know its partly you and there is a life's list of 'line-items' that are suddenly, un-poetically, boringly and terminally due? Brushed/Ignored off at a certain 'sober' level to maintain yourself. But it returns just like a 12 pack buzz? Can you?, with your experiences and wit, really tolerate it without an internal scream of sorts? Is it not worse than anything imagined? You are in arrears? On so many levels that a grim reaper needs support troops? It mocks you much as an old 'loved' cat will. I pity you and your sad dry soul. I challenge you to a game of Comblat Mission. PS Do not call me 'lad'. You are just a fresh hen and will be dragged to Hell as you should. [ November 23, 2005, 01:37 AM: Message edited by: shlitzzlipzz@hotmail.com ]

Ok. Not so much funny, but you post a lot. Ok. Are you lonely?

Its a funny Club! I get it!!

I saw Michael J Poxii catch a thrown dried fisch in Finland while evading the draft (in his quivering mouth). The Candian Draft. Which only pays you to stay home and wait to get sick and recieve free medical benefits. God save Canadia. And Fischizz.

Will INsurgers in Syriana be locals or 'imports' like they 'are' in Iraq?

???(((Fuh)))Loo((JAH))???

The 'insurgent', that blows himself away, gets away from murder and life. He gets to have whatever sexual delights he/she wishes and can even smoke hashish with a butt-pipe. All scot-free in the afterlife(s). I would surge for that. Where to surge from? Iran? Syria? They must surge in from someplace.

Michael J Pox, a Canadian, was able to destroy a thrown hand grenade in Vietnam using a 40mm grenade launcher. I saw it on TV.

OK Wahn As well as a well trained black arts killer,I am a data entry clerk also. I hope we can be close friends and compare notes. Edit: do you skills with a bow staff impress babes?

I know dat but must not share it. You are slightly off. There is a good Israeli trick to bangk all this out.

I have no job. Is that important? PS May I assume that your threats are al non-physical? I am trained to kill/maimed all in non-light conditions. Its a little easier actually.

Excuse my spellings please. I understand you all like each other and make funs of others. Thats OK with me. I write many discourse examinations of weaponinging types as my officxial job type.

OK . I understand its club of things?
