You know, we just had a discussion wherein it was
claimed that safeties on pistols are bad because
people get too nervous to use them properly in combat.
 Now you want some dumb 18-year old private to lase a

artillery piece?  Bullshit!

Actually, they carry rifles in the US Army.  Not
enough M-4s to go around.  And they have a number of
SAWs and M-240s as well.
