It's a really cool system, but, I don't think it will prove cost effective enough for military use.

Just my thoughts.

What are you, some sort of commie? Don't you realise you've just undermined the whole US defence industry? Good heavens! Anymore of this kinda talk and people will start speculating about what they could spend all this $$$ on instead. Or even, horror of horrors, not spend it at all!!!

The demand is obvious.

New recruits to the military have extensive experience on XBOX FPS games many of which deliberately have no significant ballistics effects such as windage or drop as the marketing whiz kids beleive "easier" means more market penetration. In many XBOX games an assault rifle shoots just like a laser.

This system lets new recruits shoot real weapons the same way they have grown used to on the XBOX.

Are you completely insane? Nowhere did I say not spend the money, just not to spend it on that useless weapon system. There are plenty of systems with way more killing power and, thus, way more deserving of our money. Besides, the coolest part of sniping is earning the kill. I know a sniper and trust me, it's what they live for. Sure they occasionally like to be dropped on a roof top just as a mob of insurgents gets inside of 50 yards. I mean, who wouldn't like them easy pickins once in a while but the real thrill is crawling through insect infested jungle for 3 days to make a 1200 yard head shot and slip away in the target's vehicle (driven by his chauffeur no less)!

Personally, I think we should be researching some form of venomous snake delivery system. And not something quick like a King Cobra. I'm talking about Gibbon Vipers or something nasty like that.

It's ok, I just thought gibbon viper was funny, in my random googling for the pic I found this nasty thing....

Neither of those primate viper hybrids contained any gibbon at all. Guys you need to do better than that!

I wipe by rear end with oranutan-spider-pythons on a regular basis and the common Monkey-snake is just a joke!

I concede....you come from a country with a venomous duck billed beaver.
