6. heh.
i've been spending an hour talking about this stuff with a friend. we both agree that recent events, and the past 30 years in fact, have been scary, with more suspicion and fright to come...

welcome to 1984.

9. I still want to see a "Star Wars" for bullets
We've spent billion on Star Wars with absolutely no useful system, but a $100 RPG round can destroy a 2 million dollar Bradley if it hits it in the right spot.

But wouldn't be awesome if someday that could somehow neutrilize a bullet flying at 1000mph or an RPG flying at 60 mph? (I know I'm smoking some good stuff now!)

10. they have some sort of system working on the bradleys, i believe.
it's some sort of radar shield? using a surrounding radar system and a handful of little rocket launchers. it is supposed to block a rpg round just by making it detonate outside of the armor.

11. just ask for a couple billion
Edited on Tue Jan-25-05 07:31 PM by SlavesandBulldozers
they'll give it to you. they don't veto any spending bills. plus, the system doesnt have to work in the end, so that means anybody qualifies for a contract. ;)

edit for spelling

7. Spy v Spy
It would be interesting to see a shoot-out between similarly equipped vehicles.

Great catch.
