If a nuclear war breaks out between major powers, is it better to remain neutral and, once the dust settles with most/all the warheads of the participating countries exhausted, to then engage in a sudden strike to eliminate what little remains prior to attacking their territory? Or would it be better to instead attack in a conventional war after the dust settles to claim territory in their absence?
Or would the only real winning move be to not even bother at all and instead focus on more internal things, especially with the presumed nuclear winter climate event occurring in the shadow of such an exchange?

That combat load report lists an ACOG and PEQ-2/PAQ-4 laser for basically everybody, but that's from 2003 so I'm sure some things have changed since then - I know the Army and Marines are switching from the ACOG to a variable optic for one. Also, is that laser just a laser sight, or is it a designator for laser-guided weapons or something?
I've seen pictures and helmet cam footage where it looks like the soldiers have a flashlight on one side of the handguard and something else on the other side, and some pictures where it looks like they have a reflex sight mounted on top of the optic (or maybe it's part of the optic), but I'm not sure about any of these.
Also, is mounting backup iron sights worth it? I've seen both images where they have them, and those where they don't.

"SLRC" was canceled because, in a sudden attack of lucidity, the US Army realized it was stupid.
Here is the actual SLRC.
It will fit on any surface ship that can fit a Trident II launch tube.

Gallia- wrote:I mean I guess you could, but a cannon the size of SLRC is rather undersized for a battleship. SLRC was going to be a towed, mobile gun not much bigger than an M65. You could probably fit on a barge and be mostly okay. It isn't very big at all.
If you want a big battleship gun why not just use a HARP to fire hypersonic RVs into orbit or something?

It's telling that the US Army was able to make a gun that outshoots all of his guns in about 20 minutes or so by dragging some 1980's howitzer out of the scrapyard.

The Iraqis just wanted help with their Scud missiles and eeking out a few more miles. The big cannon was what they had to pay for Bull to help them.
