pretty sweet! woot

[tuckerhat]

looks promising.

[Operation Ivy]

hope they put that on our strykers, give it a little more firepower then just a .50cal

Looks like the future of ground warfare, however, this is an early prototype. I doubt it's ready for Iraq any time soon.

A useful feature would be to engage targets autonomously that are a threat without hitting friendlies - not sure how this can be done.

Very interesting.

Cool. Does anyone have clear still picks of the gun itself?

There is everything you want to know about it.

That's supposed to replace the M2 and Mk19 isn't it?

No offense, but I'd keep the Ma Duece. Effective, proven design that hasn't had a problem in 90 years. If it aint broke...don't fix it.

Cept people the whole problem with people being shot while operating them.

If you're refering to the crew of the .50 cal....that's true about any crew served weapon. But almost all the M2s are now mounted on vehicles which could offer protection if the soldier ducked down.
