See what I said about localised culture versus universal truth. This whole guns vs government thing is a uniquely American mindset which I find rather fascinating. Not entirely sure you can find anything similar elsewhere in the world. Nor do I know of anywhere else in the developed world which has a similar level of cultural obsession with guns, or veneration of guns, even if firearms are perfectly legally available.
Back on topic before this post gets deleted for being irrelevant - how should field fortifications adapt to the emergence of precision-guided artillery? Current practice seems to be focused on making infantry strongpoints shrapnel proof and so forth, but ordinary overhead cover doesn't seem to be very resistant towards, say, a 120mm Strix laser-guided mortar bomb, let alone an Excalibur.
I assume one potential adaptation is to, say, dig four to five camouflaged position for a GPMG, have it fire for a few minutes from one then disappear and move onto the next before clocks in on its position and drops a PG shell on it. Presumably, this trick would be more difficult with HMGs or AGLs due to their weight, but doable?
