Re: The Next Thing in Military Sniper Rifles

I wonder what the high score is? Talk about super realistic gameplay and graphics too boot

Re: The Next Thing in Military Sniper Rifles

After spending time watching my boys and my (much) younger brother playing Xbox & Playstation you'd better believe that I wouldn't want them hunting me with that thing.
 
Re: The Next Thing in Military Sniper Rifles

thats cool i remember a few yearzs back where the miltary was trying to recruit real good war game fighters like the clancys games and call of duty, etc. They claimed more of these computer/game nerds where needed where trained soliders didnt have those skills. HAHA i can see why now. COOL Post thanks

No kidding. It would be scary.

Watch out. Happiness can be just a whisper away at 1500 yards from the air, controlled by a joystick 2000 miles away from where you are.... What's next?

Remember that well Lindy.
 
Re: The Next Thing in Military Sniper Rifles

DARPA was working on a project similar to this using a .50BMG. The goal was to have an opto-electronic targeting system analyze the trace from the first round, correct and fire the second round before the first round impacted. I helped provide some of the preliminary data by video taping the bullet trace, firing my .50 rifle with a wide variety of ammo. I suspect it would be easier to have a viable system using the .338 vs. the .50 BMG, given the available semi-auto systems available.

Wait 'til you see the Int. Sniper Competition 5 or 6 years from now.
 
Re: The Next Thing in Military Sniper Rifles

I keep hearing about this 20mm Solid Vulcan round. Sounds rather intersting

Next step: "Ender's Game"
 
Re: The Next Thing in Military Sniper Rifles

I remember reading some memo or some such thing that vid gamers are not only sought after because of their joystick capabilities, but for their superior grasp on strategy.
 
Re: The Next Thing in Military Sniper Rifles

Enders Game...good book. You know that was on the Marine Corp's reading list when I was in...no lie.

I'm gonna start playing more video games...I will tell the wife that I'm just workiing on my skills for my next job after I retire from this one...LOL.

Hahaha good luck with that.


Great book. I read it first as a child and came to appreciate it more as a young adult. Definitely one of my favorites.

I don't see why not. Playing online for hours on end would give you lots of ideas on things you could do while flying from a terminal like that.

Re: The Next Thing in Military Sniper Rifles

I have a good friend who's step son was one of those high school gamer types. He was sought after by the US Army. He enlisted and went to the 10th. Mtn. He is deploying in a couple of weeks and he flies the Predator drones. He is pretty excited about it. He told us they can do some incredible things with the drones. Tom.

Too bad their grasp on Reality does not exist.....
