New Rifle for the Troops


Subject: New Rifle for the Troops


 

Big change from the older and currently-in-use rifles and a much fancier name...........

The XM25 Counter Defilade Target Engagement System has a range of roughly 2,300 feet - and is to be deployed in Afghanistan soon. I would call it the “Equalizer.” Some call it the “Punisher”.
The rifle’s gunsight uses a laser rangefinder to determine the exact distance to the obstruction, after which the soldier can add or subtract up to 3 meters from that distance to enable the bullets to clear the barrier and explode above or beside the target.
Soldiers will be able to use them to target snipers hidden in trenches rather than calling in air strikes.
The 25-millimeter round contains a chip that receives a radio signal from the gun sight as to the precise distance to the target.
Lt. Col. Christopher Lehner, project manager for the system, described the weapon as a ‘game-changer’ that other nations will try and copy.
He expects the Army to buy 12,500 of the XM25 rifles this year, enough for every member of the infantry and special forces.{My note:  Is that the extent of our infantry and special forces???  If so, why so few?}
Lehner told FoxNews: “With this weapon system, we take away cover from [enemy targets] forever.  Tactics are going to have to be rewritten.  The only thing we can see [enemies] being able to do is run away.”

Experts say the rifle means that enemy troops will no longer be safe if they take cover. The XM25 appears to be the perfect weapon for street-to-street fighting that troops in Afghanistan have to engage in, with enemy fighters hiding behind walls and only breaking cover to fire occasionally.
The weapon’s laser finder would work out how far away the enemy was and then the U.S. soldier would add one meter using a button near the trigger.
When fired, the explosive round would carry exactly one meter past the wall and explode with the force of a hand grenade above the Taliban fighter.
The army’s project manager for new weapons, Douglas Tamilio, said: ‘‘This is the first leap-ahead technology for troops that we’ve been able to develop and deploy.”
A patent granted to the bullet’s maker, Alliant Techsystems, reveals that the chip can determine how far it has travelled. Mr. Tamilio said: “You could shoot a Javelin missile, and it would cost about $69,000. These rounds will end up costing $25.00 apiece.
They’re relatively cheap.  Lehner added: “This is a game-changer.  The enemy has learned to get cover, for hundreds if not thousands of years.   Well, they can’t do that anymore.  We’re taking that cover from them and there’s only two outcomes: We’re going to get you behind that cover or force you to flee.”  The rifle will initially use high-explosive rounds, but its makers say that it might later use versions with smaller explosive charges that aim to stun rather than kill.

What one of the revolutionary bullets looks like that can be pre-programmed to explode to hit eneny troops that are hiding.

GO  USA !!!

Well isn't this just F**king wonderful. Governments create these Wars to feed the Cabal and we create bigger and better weapons to kill our fellow man! This is absolutely senseless and your posting this suggests that you are just as dense! Running out of crap to post?

"GO" UNTIL THESE ARE USED ON INNOCENT AMERICANS ON OUR OWN SOIL. THEN WILL YOU BE SO 'GUNG HO' ABOUT IT MY FRIEND?! REMEMBER, THIS MILITARY IS NOT OUR MILITARY - THIS MILITARY SERVES THE ANTI-CHRIST SYSTEM - THE NWO - THE TAKEOVER OF THIS NATION AND THE CULLING OF OUR POPULATION, AND NO LONGER DEFENDS AND PROTECTS AMERICA FROM OUR ENEMIES - BOTH FOREIGN AND DOMESTIC. THE
ENEMY IS HERE ON AMERICA'S SOIL, AND THE MILITARY IS A HUGE PART OF IT.

I no longer watch senseless violence in movies and I cry at all the pain and suffering in the world. We are all brothers and sisters on this planet. What hurts one...hurts all of us!! NOW DO NOT SAY I AM NOT REALISTIC....BS...ALMOST ALL OF OUR SUPPOSED ENEMIES WERE CREATED BY THE CABAL TO JUSTIFY THEIR WARS! Take away governments and some religions and we all get along just fine!

I agree with the above posts and the truth will be coming out soon enough. I give John credit for running both sides of the story. Its his website btw. Anyway, I like the article on 'Maple Pumpkin Pie with a Crunch Recipe' for example. I can make this and share with my fellow man (and woman) - hehe
