Wow, the camo system works very well.
The batteries never go dead on an AK-47.
We shall see. I hope it is reliable and rugged and can be produced in numbers as such.
In order to provide for a 700 meter area hit, my guess is that some muzzle elevation would be required, and based on the look of the field of vision of the optics I’m not sure that the target would be in view.
That, or the velocity of the projectile is....completely remarkable.
It’s still interesting, however.
Wait until the Clintonites and Zerobots sell this technology to the Chinese.
Really good weapon, it would seem.
Here’s another weapon someone linked to on another thread.
This would be a great ‘survival’ weapon....
The AA-12

this should give local Twin City moonbats something more to protest outside the local ATK ...I love it!
Failing that, it's just a piece of plastic.
This is the grenade launcher that was part of the OICW, correct? The one that allows precise airburst detonations (like X meters inside a window opening, for example). Very cool idea, but there were some problems with it during testing of the OICW. I'll have to search for the specifics, but maybe they've worked the bugs out.
I heard of this several years ago. At that time the expected cost of the rounds was shockingly high. An attempt was made to justify this by an argument about how much more effective this weapon could be.
Awesome!
Not to disparage the current incarnation...
Rumor has it an early prototype (from the OICW days) was demoed to a bunch of very high-ranking officers. One was given the opportunity to fire it. He took it, entered the desired distance, and pulled the trigger. It fired, the distance was automatically measured, and it duly detonated at the indicated range: 1 meter.
"What's dat you got dare meathead? A High Explosive Air Burst Ordinance dare? A HEABO? Ha, haha..."
This appears to be a expensive solution in search of a sufficiently profitable problem.
So adding the “replay” feature is primarily a function of software, albeit not with the Zorg capability of shifting the aim? How far off can the ZF-1 be?
That’s “ordnance.”
Still, I’ve seen this sucker on TV, very lethal. The demonstrator popped one through a window to a room at a hundred yards and it exploded about six feet inside.
With this there’s almost no such thing as “cover” anymore.
Better not have any recoil if he’s going to fire it like that...
