| Brits Deploy Their Own Anti-Sniping System |
| 2011-03-19 |
| Link to UKs Daily Mail - try to ignore egregious "celebrity smut" on the page * 'Gunfire locator' uses sonar to calculate the enemy's position in little more than one second * Cross-hairs on target screen show sniper where to return fire * Sensor has been developed using same technology as Nintendo Wii games And you thought Video Games were a waste of time A supergun that targets enemy snipers by the sound of their gunfire is being trialled by British soldiers, it emerged today. Different approach than the US - we've got the unit attached to the uniform rather than the weapon - have to admit, if the crosshairs work, it may be a better system... assuming the gun + unit doesn't end up weighing 16 1b. |
