Another new weapon system that I stumbled on while writing the last post.
In the course of reading, I saw a weapon called the Multiple Projectile Delivery System mentioned as being a possible armament for the Talon robots discussed in the previous post. The article contained a link which detailed the weapon system. The weapon system has also been dubbed DREAD (I couldn't find any mention of whether or not this is another acronym, or not). If you take the time to read the article and consider it a bit, chances are you'll probably agree that the name fits. From a military standpoint, this has the potential to be a dream wepaon. Extremely low maintanence, huge ammo capacity, no danger of ammo explosion, capable of extremly accurate and devestating fire, and no sound or muzzle flash to expose the operator or vehicle to counterfire. From the perspective of a soldier, this is probably another Pandora's Box. If I were a soldier, I would most certainly not like to be on the recieving end of something like this at all. The prospect of recieving fire that cannot be pinpointed by sound or sight that in all likelihood will be rather lethal is quite frightening to certain. This system, properly utilized could be even more devestating to moral than something like a sniper.
Hopefully, I won't keep stumbling on to stuff like this, so that there will be a bit more variety in future posts...

Thanks for your comments on my blog recently. However, I think I may have used the wrong word usage in describing the attack. I used the word "snuck" to sort of magnify the unexpectedness and unpreparedness of the troops in Pearl Harbor. The information you revealed to me is very beneficial to my argument, but there were numerous reports that were never taken seriously by high ranking officals about an attack from Japan; yet, in a very "Titanic" like manner, they turned their radios off and brushed the reports to the side. Thanks again for your comments and your input.
