DRAGO (DirectRangeAirConsumingOrdnance) Round =
Upon impact with the target, the firing pin is driven in to the detonator, which in turn initiates the spit back charge, producing a jet which initiates the explosive train from the base forward, resulting in an armor-piercing jet of molten metal and fragment pattern and the Thermobaric effect of the EBX compound..... Nasty eta x6 |

The HuntIR round is a parachute round with a video camera
Let's see an RPG-7 do that.............................. Looks like they have a 40mm that can be used as an anti-armor weapon, an increased pwoer anti-personnel weapon, with recon capability. Up to 6 rounds at a time...................... WOW |

For what one of those grenade launchers cost, a guy could field a LOT of RPG-7's. Most likely more than enough to make the inferior technology and sophistication a purely academic discussion. That's not to say that the new weapon is subpar or should be abandoned.. Just an interesting cultural comment. |

You'd need 6 RPG-7's...................... Ammo is easier to carry, and no backblast. |

Do those things really need adjustable stocks? Its not like they're going to be used in CQB. I've never shot a 40mm, but I would guess there is a lot more recoil than a 5.56 - will an adjustable stock handle that kind of recoil for long?
