Electronic firing has proven to be a problem with lots and lots of money thrown down the drain chasing that dream. I guess electronic firing where remote control arm jerks a lanyard would be... shockingly doable...though. It goes back to... this isn't new. In fact, people used to make fun of ... well, the Germans for trying to have a lightweight, high powered, gun in WW2, and all of the poo poo they had to do to make it workable(ish).

The West is very stubborn about pretending that constantly knocking your grey matter into the side of your skull is some type of great mystery. They don't need to use a rope, just use a bluetooth button or something. Use your fingerprint login to add security.

Doing a 180 and doing a lil SMO against Israel for what they're doing in Gaza would probably solve our recruitment problems in a snap.

Always online smart artillery and DRM shells, by Hewlett Packard. It'll still cause TBI on the users. That's a feature we just can't do without.

I look forward to the jungle tank, which is just treads and open frame leaving the crew, gun and all the shells fully exposed. Careful with that main gun men, you'll be right next to that concussive blast. If you get TBI fill out a form after you get back, okay?

Also, more "scouts", even if they end up all being drone operators you don't need to design a battalion around them. The concept is just for death squads to roam around Latin America and the Philippines.

The SF guys in Afghanistan were always getting hurt loving around with their John Deere Gators / Polaris whatever the fuckevers. People seem to really like the idea of "Go-Kart, but worse" though. It was only a matter of time until we saw that spread to the rest of the military.

They put government plates on it and everything, it was so loving stupid  Canadian military suspends use of Gator vehicle in Afghanistan After Wednesday's blast, Brig.-Gen. Tim Grant, commander of Canada's troops in Afghanistan, said the all-terrain vehicle the soldiers were riding in was "appropriate for the task at hand." The Gator can handle rough, muddy terrain andis often used by soldiers to transport small loads. The stretch of road where the blast occurred this week was the only area in Panjwaii that the military had deemed safe enough for itsuse. The military thought its combat operations and reconstruction work had made the area secure enough to replace soldiers on foot patrol with the Gators for supply runs. Villagers had moved back to the district and schools had reopened after Operation Medusa.

That looks like the kind of terrain where the logistical equation shifts away from vehicle fuel and maintenance and towards fodder and farriers
