Wouldn’t IR light and lasers immediately give away one’s position to anyone with a rudimentary IR camera?

Laser systems are great until the enemy has night vision and thermals themselves.

After that, a laser system becomes target designator pointed directly you.

Didn’t we learn, once upon a time, that IR optics can be tracked back to their source?

The problem with this battle rifle seems to be the weight to me. Fully loaded it’s nearly two pounds heavier than the greatest rifle ever made, the M1 Garand.

I hate to admit that I had my basic with an M1 rifle. They were a lot heavier than M16s, and I never heard of an M4 until much later in life.
