    Boy, this article certainly is an intelligent discussion. I know 8th graders that could write more intelligently!"The lower barrel fires Nato-standard 5.56mm ammunition allowing commandos to use bullets off the bodies of downed allies." Tell me that the person who wrote this doesn't have a college degree!

    Anyway I could use the gun myself. It would make a nice piece for my collection.

    Shoulder held weapon firing 20mm. Yea. Sure. This is a crock of ***t
    So many guns to buy. So little money.

    Everyone that I have spoken to that has tested this new "weapons system" and "land warrior" gear has told me that it is too bulky and unwieldy. The idiots that come up with this stuff show up in comfortable clothing and test the crap on ranges where they don't have to run around in the woods and actually wield the damn thing. I wonder how hard it would be to "fix bayonets" with this weapon.

    Lots of mistakes in there too. The E3's conterpart in the Navy is the E2 Hawkeye and will be used more than the AWACS. The "EF11A" appears to be a F111. The A6 is about all phased out, makes me wonder if we still use EA6B's (the 4 seat electronic death machine version of the old faithful attack plane). They didn't mention HARM missiles (and many other cool things) that will be used. It also states the the gbu bombs are more powerful than a Tomahawk,....... Heh, Heh, gotta laugh on that one. Noway is a bomb superior in anyway ever to a Tomahawk, they are nuclear capable and gbu's ain't. As for a 20mm, I think you could fire it from the shoulder, one at a time. I don't know why the y would want a foot dude with that. Can't pack much ammo for it and if it shoots the 20mm it's gotta be heavy. They also didn't get into the helo's that will undoubtedly go in with any screamin green meanies. I give that article a 0 for reasearch and content.AndyP.S. propaganabullshitski.[This message has been edited by metz (edited 09-16-2001).]

    I can't believe it. The Brits have the worlds greatest authority on military equipment (Jane's) and this "BABE" doesn't bother to check her facts?Mudge
