LOL!
just 24 pounds of individual small arm, requiring two basic loads of
ammo, that becomes a short awkward club when it malfunctions under real
field conditions in the hands of a real soldier . . . .
just 24 pounds plus of weapon and ammo , in added to the poundage ready
being toted around by private schitt in the way, anti armor weapons,
hand grenades, smoke grenade, anti personnel mines, trip flares, star
clusters, maybe a base plate or mortar tube, as well as ammo for same,
of clothing boots, web gear, body armor, helmet, personal commo gear,
vision gear, CBR mask and atropine injector, first aide kit, water,
food, entrencing tool, combat knife, maybe backpack radio unit, as
well as ammo carried to keep the SAW and LMG in fodder. . . . . .
yah. the ideal individual weapon for the US soldiers and marines of
the 21st century.. . . . .
thanks but no thanks!
every soldier i have talked to about this weapon either burst out
laughing, or cringes when thinking of all of the potential problems that
this little gem represents.
