Gpig Posted April 10, 2006 Share Posted April 10, 2006 Looks to me like he's sighting with his right, he's just got his left eye open at the same time. Gpig 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Imperial Grunt Posted April 10, 2006 Author Share Posted April 10, 2006 Originally posted by flamingknives: Forgive me if I'm being ignorant, but why does he appear to be sighting with his left eye? Should he be doing that? He is probably one of those freaks of nature who is left-eye dominant. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nemesis Lead Posted April 10, 2006 Share Posted April 10, 2006 Not if it is a paralax sight. The whole purpose is to shoot with both eyes open. Many people shoot with both eyes open regardless. There are good reasons for doing this. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flamingknives Posted April 10, 2006 Share Posted April 10, 2006 Can he see through the nosepiece of his glasses then? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Imperial Grunt Posted April 15, 2006 Author Share Posted April 15, 2006 To go along with the M-32 GL, here is another weapon that the US Army is experimenting with. I like it. Door Breacher 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Cairns Posted April 15, 2006 Share Posted April 15, 2006 LtCol West , From what I can see, it seems to work a bit like the extended probe on a TOW, which sets a greater stand off distance for a shaped charge. In this case the probe is about 300mm and the crcular shaped charge in more convex than concave, spreading the force across the door rather than focusing it on a smaller area. The range must be fairly limited as it seems to be based on the same bullet trap principle as a rifle grenade, but for a flat trajectory. Although no doubt it might well put a whole in a roof if you lobed it at 100m or so. Of course if you turned it the other way and say used a larger calibre such as a .50 cal round used in current large calibre snipers rifles, then you might well have something that could with a similiar sized probe get round the cage armour on a Stryker, although you'd have to focus the charge, not disperse it. The obvoius counter measure is to leave the front door open and make the entrance hall a killing ground, the most simple way being to pull up the floorboards just inside the door and putting down some land mines and then stretching a carpet over the hole.

Peter. You forgot about dangling small treble fishhooks at eye level as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huntarr Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 Definitely something to add in the USMC module. EFV 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hellfish Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 They aren't going to be in service for a long time - especially if the Marines cancel the EFV project. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YankeeDog Posted July 4, 2007 Share Posted July 4, 2007 Ya, EFV program isn't presently scheduled for deployment until 2010, so it's well out of CM:SF's scope. And, as fh mentions, there's no guarantee it will make that date, or ever. . . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SgtMuhammed Posted July 4, 2007 Share Posted July 4, 2007 It looks like a bloated BMP. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
