If it werent my day off Id put the effort into quoting Rickers saying right now, that would be so fitting.

        Maybe you're just not important enough to warrant knowing about it.

          aka.

          shoot aimed rocks

          radar + algorithms (for distance and angle) + launcher = similar to my schools robot for the FIRST competition (except it was a fixed target we shot)

            Interesting theory. While I dont deny that I am not involved the part of the army that plays with experimental toys that no doubt has those things to see if they can be fielded, I am in the army that deploys and uses apaches to fight the wars that we are fighting. And we dont have that stuff. Probably never will.

              Nothing new. The Russians have been fielding the Arena and Drozd systems for a while, and they are working on the Zalson system.

              I hope they get these things into service ASAP. The troops need 'em.

                Im interested in what kind of performance these systems would achieve in the civilian duck hunting sector.
