Main Military Weapon of Your Country: Mod 7

[Kouralia]

SUSAT best optic b/c no electricity at all.

Nope the ACOG manufactured by Trijicon uses phosphor and fiber optic light tubes.

Yeah, but.

But.

It's not a SUSAT.

And there, ladies and gentlemen, I think we have the answer.
"What do you propose?"
It's simple: the US uses the SUSAT.

In EMP-based warfare, there is only the MiG-25.

In EMP-based warfare, there is only the MiG-25.

And the Su-25 apparently.

[San-Silvacian]

If I remember correctly, when you deploy you get a budget to buy whatever little tacticrap you can get for your M4 or whatever in the Army.

I'm getting a SUSAT if they let me :v

Or I'll just suck it up, exersize by British citizenship and move to Britland and join them. I'd still want to try and be a tanker since Challenger 2 and L22 Carbine.

If you get hit by an EMP, you have larger problems emanating from that large mushroom cloud that appeared over yonder.

Not necessarily. High altitude EMPs and EMPs generated by conventional means are both more likely to affect you than a ground based one.

Damn. Wouldn't want our tan to get ruined by the sun being blocked.

With the exeption of EMPs that aren't based on nuclear explosion, or nuclear explosions that happened in orbit.

EMPs can only realistically be created by nuclear weapons right now. There is no Homefront-style "EMP weapon" or "scalar weapon" from Bad Company 2.

So, if you get hit by an EMP, bad news: you just got nuked.

Edit: Or a nuke got set off in orbit/high above your country.

OR a nuke was set off five miles above your head. Fallout? Yes. EMP? Yes. Total destruction? No.

Actually there would be virtually no fallout from a detonation 5 miles above the surface.
The bomb components would generate a small amount of extremely hot isotopes, but the particles would be very small and have a short half-life meaning that they are harmless by the time they reach the ground.

Anyone standing directly beneath the fireball would turn bald instantly from the heat waves though.

I can't find the article right now, but the Russians did develop some RPG level EMP weapons, and there are papers on using EPFCGs to power microwave emitters designed to fry electronics.

That sounds funny as fuck.

Good luck with that since msot SUSATs are now very much end of life andthere is the minor issue of them not being comaptible with any moutnign system other than that nice NATO standard sight rail that only ever appeared on the SA80 family and the AK-5.

its all about the Elcan Spectre now:



Despite the breif fling with ACOGs (which only the the L129s get now).

Spectre is ver' nice.

I wonder when the British Army will change the SA80, and if so, what it will happen?

I hope they stick SA80 and just go with making the fucking thing lighter...

[Ea90]

IIRC, they're keeping it till 2020 or smth.
