The poorest man may in his cottage bid defiance to all the forces of the Crown.

Re: The XM-29 SABR OICW
Yeah... Oops, a mistype really. But still, think about it. Old AT-mines are available for a fair price, andthose guys certainly had weapons, and some interesting ones too. I wouldn't be too surprised if they could have gotten hold of those mines.
You may not care about war, but war cares about you!
Re: The XM-29 SABR OICW
Yes, that would have made for quite an interesting scenario. If I ever become an eccentric person, I'll try to get hold of some of those. You can never be too sure with our FBI.
Too bad they weren't able to deploy something like that.
As to rifles, I'd be interested in trying out the new blended metal bullets they're experimenting with.

Re: The XM-29 SABR OICW
Pape: Autocannons from IFVs and such can peel off (some) reactive armor, allowing tanks to get in a follow up shot. Also, most ERA is fairly difficult to trip off unless something big and nasty, like an RPG-7 round or above hits it. The high density shotgun round might not trip off every plate, reducing its reliability greatly. Something that can trip off ERA are AT cluster munitions fired by artillery or aircraft.

What I mean by a high density shotgun round is a tank main gun fired uranium scatter shot. Anti-personal/light armour type of weapon... Probably fuse detonated so it separates near the target rather then a couple of metres out of the gun.
Our genes maybe in the basement but it does not stop us chosing our point of view from the top.

Re: The XM-29 SABR OICW
On the subject of bullpups and left handers, its even worse if you are left dominant eye. I am right handed but my left eye is strongly dominant, so that I shoot left handed. Which is fine except the SA80 can only be fired right handed (unless you want a face full of casings).
Which essentially means I couldn't fire it at all, since its not too clever an idea to go around firing off an assault rifle without being reasonably confident what it was aimed at.
What a brilliant design.
