Hate to harsh your mellow, but the Dragon is not a crew served weapon.
Don't ask how I know.

BTW, I'll have to agree with the others; nothing commands R-E-S-P-E-C-T like Ma Duece.

I gotta agree with M4C - after serving for 12 years as an MLRS crewmember, it's definitely the most awesome non-nuclear land weapon out there. The corps commander's personal shotgun!

Yeah its Non-Nuke about as true as the 13K published ranges on the rockets and the
70-80k's on the ATACMS.....A/38th FA RSK.......
Grid Killers are smooth....Once in White Sands they put an ATACMS motor on a rocket body the Civi Techs claimed that it went Orbital....Just because we dont know about the nukes doesnt mean its non-nuke...just my .02 ......I have never seen a nuke for the SPLL but I have never seen a terorist before either

Actually, published range on the M26 rockets was 30K (right out of the TM), and the extended-range rockets were good for 50K, I think. I have no doubts that the actual figures are more like 40K and 65K, but that would be speculation. ATACMS block 2, IIRC, had a 200K published range, which to me means 200 [i]miles[/i] in the real world.

I used to play around with the Fire Control Panel a lot while training my driver and gunner and we'd input technical fire missions with different azimuths, QE, and fuze times, but the problem was it didn't tell you where the target grid would be for that fire mission. In general, a QE of about 20 degrees/360 mils would give you the longest range, assuming you adjusted the fuze time to match. It'd be interesting if MLRS had firing tables like cannon do.

I've always wondered if there were "warshot" PLU tapes in the comsec vault, that would allow the FCS to take advantage of the rockets' max physical range. We were still using Version 4 FCS software during Desert Storm (A btry 13th FA, 24th Inf Div (Mech)) so there was no way to change the software at our level.

I always got a kick out of the M-68 ( main gun on the M1 ).
Kinda cool nailin' something that's too far to be seen without a 20x gun sight.

I would have to give my input on 9 16-inch guns on the turrets from a Missouri class BB firing simultaneously.  Outstanding firepower, and nothing like the view of a BB off the coast of some third world country to strike fear into the hearts and minds.  Just a thought.

Well, here's the problem.  If you're out for a Sunday morning cruise and get spotted by one of these:
[img]http://usairforce.8k.com/images/KA50one.jpg[/img]

You might find yourself in a tight situation.  After all, when you're sitting in a tank you have billions of dollars in high-tech hardware looking for you... and you're a nice big target.

No thanks.  Tanks and mechanized infantry are for the birds.  I'll take a Platoon of these:

And for my crew served weapon, I'll say "keep it" and give my a few GPMG's, SAW's, M16's and toss in a few M203's.  We'll get the job done.
