if they could make a proximity sensor in the grip to identify Friend or Foe; if one of the rock apes actually got ahold of the weapon it wouldn't work.

obviously it would have to work instantaneously.

^ Yea - maybe something in a glove that has a transponder in it. Chances are the gun will be pretty complex, and ammunition will not be readily available... So hopefully if they do get their hands on one - they couldn't do too much.

But good vid to see it's capabilities.
This is the Rick Sanchez that was fired a few months ago for calling John Stewart a bigot and implying that CNN and other networks are run by Jewish people.

Even if they captured the weapon, it would be useless because they can't manufacture the ammunition.

It's not hard to get .223/5.56 ammo for a captured M16, but this stuff is 25mm and has a computer chip in it.

I never watch the cnn. He clearly is a douche of the highest order.

I'm speaking more about a rare ambush scenario.

Poor Col. I bet he wishes he was on Fox News so that he'd be talking to a descent reporter that actually has an audience

Go kick some ass!

Bullpup config in a shoulder fired squad support weapon that fires frag grenade 'rounds'. About time. Our friends at the Pentagon are starting to take their smart pills in the morning.
