I like that they don't have a shot of him aiming the rifle because I doubt you can actually get a sight picture with that mask.

They did get a surprising number of things right though. Body armor, NVGs, individual radios + helmet mounted headsets, etc.

Yeah, sight picture, tell the idiots who are pushing this thing forward.

There comes a point where the best defense is retaining the functionality of killing people.

Just build a loving space marine helmet already and use a camera with a reticle and a retinal display for sighting.

If your helmet requires you to have some retarded setup for your gun's sight then maybe you have a dumb helmet. Seriously that looks so god drat stupid.

If you can move past the couple of things they got hilariously wrong, it really is one of the more prescient articles about the future.

I think if we were looking back at fifty years of history fighting the Russians with tactical nukes in Germany, instead of fifty years of fighting backwards locals with nothing more than shoulder arms in third world poo poo-holes, that article'd be even more correct.

Are you kidding? If the Cold War was any warmer and there was no "peace dividend" military spending would've been outrageous. Think about the crazy poo poo in the works during the 50s and 60s. Now pretend that never ended.

Don't worry it's the CAF the U.S. Will be well into laser munitions before we have the money to upgrade anything.

Ask me about seeing my old howitzers in Fury and Les Invalides in a display about Dien Bien Phu :(

Denmark. Wait, what?
Oh god that stupid C79 optical sight. I can see you have it in the CAF as well.
We've had those in the Danish army since 95 now, and with the helmet introduced in 96 (and still currently in use) it has been impossible to see through the sight without resting the rim of your helmet on the sight - thus altering the zero as the sight can move about when touched.
We're currently implementing a new helmet (Revision Cobra), but as there's a shortage of them I have no idea how they work with the C79 sights.

Don't mind me. We must protect rapists and misogynists from harm. If they're innocent they must not be named. Surely they'll never harm their sleeping, female patients. Watch me defend this in great detail. I am not a mens rights activist either.

gently caress the C79 sight. On a course, we had a collimater set for it, and then dropped the C7 from waist height onto a a padded floor, and the zero was off completely. From a couple foot drop for fucks sakes. I can only imagine how much zero it loses in an actual section attack
