| #7 Shell size trumps all. A 25mm vs. 40mm payload means that as soon as this system gets debugged it will be too much money for too little bang. The new fuse for the 40mm and a sight for the Picatinny rails means you could airburst all sorts of interesting things: WP, CS, etc. |

| #4 I remember the fun with the original M-16. Seems like this thing is awfully complicated to be reliable and rugged. What say you of knowledge? |

| #3 Yeah, but that one isn't semi-automatic and lacks a trigger padded with the finest Corinthian leather. The basic idea - a rifle grenade that can be detonated at a defined point in space - is quite clever. The current implementation seems a bit unwieldy Hint: try cutting back on the features. The trick to design is not what to put in , but what to leave out, |
