How did you find the platform, as far as being able to hit something at long range with a machinegun?

One thing about TOW is that you need to keep the sights centered on the target to guide the missile to it, which is why I was talking about mounting some sort of gyro-stabilized platform for the sights (with the user able to control the thing from inside the boat while looking at the target on a display).

The boat is actually a lot more stable then you might think. A good driver can make it a pretty steady ride especially in the shallow waters where they operate. We had plenty of range time shooting 3’ dia targets out by San Clemente Island. I could usually get on target within 10 to 20 rounds with 7.62 at 500 to 600 yards.
