McNamara’s ghost. Another POS toy. If half the troops had M-14’s in Nam and Afghanistan - more would have lived.

Programmable. Each round can be given a designated target and then the rounds are programed in the magazine for that target. All the operator has to do is aim, laze, fire after that.
It's a whole lot more than 'daddy's shotgun' with special ammo. It's a way to hit outside the small arms range and guarantee a hit. It's what is called 25mm Short. Same types of projectiles as the 25mm Chain gun on the Apaches, but range is about half. Accuracy. MOA accurate. Look for it to be incorporated into the Barrett system also.

Noy quite, bro. do some reading....The 25mm grenades are fired semi auto from a detachable magazine, and the 5.56 rifle above it is fired with the same triger. The sight has an integral rangefinder which lases then moves the crosshairs to adjust for bullet drop fro the weapon chosen. Very fresking cool. the grnades also have several features, including “detonate on second impact” or “airburst at measured range plus 1 meter”, for firing thorugh a glass window, and at enemy in defilade of some type respectively.
