Kinda cool, and not limited to one per army (I think it's only S3 AP6 small blast though).

I hate the massive waste of my tax dollars that is the "defense budget" otherwise known as a welfare program for defense contractors.....but damn that's a cool piece of gear.

Im confused by your post....... Im getting a I R HATE AMERICAS! but with a too much red bull vibe from you.



OT I love modern weapons. Just pure awesome there

Now they just need to release the flechette launching weapons (on display at the infantry museum in Georgia) and we'll be well on the way to becoming blue aliens!

While I will agree that there is a lot of waste and corporate welfare involved with defense spending it is actually one of the few things the constitution states the federal government should spend money on unlike the massive amounts of social welfare.

Back on topic that looks like an extension of the 20mm grenade technology they were working on with the OICW system that was both an assault rifle and smart grendade launching system. Looks like they moved forward with the GL portion after canning the rest of the project.
