Laser-Guided 40mm Grenade

The problem with any sort of actively guided munition, is that they are always going to be susceptible to jamming/decoying.....These sort of weapons might be useful attacking 3rd world countries (or uppity civilians) but I doubt that they are going to be useful against an opposing force with the same level of technology.

Even if you're right, I don't see a problem. We have long made it a practice to avoid attacking peer or near-peer opponents.

I believe that ease of interfering with guided systems is what will drive the development of L.A.W.S. We really are on the edge of a new kind of warfare, one every bit as game changing as machine guns, airplanes, and nukes.

Color me skeptical. I don't know how many times I've heard the term "game changer" applied to developments that don't (or won't) really change the game.

On a lighter note....when I first saw the video you posted, the "ghost recon" insignia reminded me of this skit :-)

Heh, heh. Yeah, it's kinda cute. Does that make the US Navy also the bad guys?

The skull and crossbones has been used on some USN unit insignias since at least as far back as WWII.
