Super. Army. Soldiers
>>65385869...metal gear?!
>>65385869You can DIY this. Just attach a vtx to your thermal scope. You can use the same goggles on your helmet as your fpv quad. Flip a switch and peek corners. The future is now.
France was obsessed with the future soldier concept at one point
>>65385869imagine carrying 50 lbs of gear onto the battlefield. all your batteries die and then you get droned.
>>65386004Explain why this wouldn't work without sounding like a Colt shill
>>65386004When you get bored of fighting, you can switch the FCS channel to TV and watch The Simpsons
>>65386025The XM8 beat the FN Scar light, Hk 416 and M4 in trials-although I think it did have some other problems
>>65386047>red dot switchThat's pretty fucking literal.
>>6538602575% of the weight of the gun is for a feature you will use maybe 10% of the time.

PAPOP my beloved
>>65386025You hear the enemy before you see them. Put a sight picture on the regardless, and open fire.
>>65385869>"Right this way, Chief"
>>65385869Why don't they have Pro Soldiers like Pro Wrestlers?
>>65385869This is your daily reminder that the closest we've come to RL supersoldiers were literal Meth-head Nazis. Other than that it's all a little bit . . . pic related.
>as a kid. >dont know what an m4 or m16 is just know the longer barrel looks cooler. See the starlight scope on an a1>why is the future weapon so small? put it onthe longer m16.
Delta Force Land Warrior led me to believe they'd all be using OICWs, G11s and Calicos in the future
>>65385869>ghost recon ass soldier
>>6538602525mm simply isn't enough. once you put a programmable fuze in there, there isn't enough explosive and frag left

>>65385949>my knees hurt>is Corporal Jergens is right behind me?>I hate Corporal Jergens
>>65386513we've already had supersoldiers
>>6538606710% is pretty often.
>>65385991God augs are so fugly
>>65386689Go on...
>>65385869Ay yoo this yn got a whole television studio strapped to his rifle.
>>65387162He can't, he's retarded.>>65386689'supersoldiers' isn't about combat effectiveness. It's about artificially improved (not training or skill) soldiers. The closest we've come to a project that actually worked with only minimal side-effects, rather than horrific ones, was the use of meth-amphetamine based stimulants most famously used by the Wehrmacht.
>>65386991and 75% is a lot of weight
>>65388547Get stronger
>Check >>65388547's T-levels
Got a big enough scope there Ricky?
>>65385991As far as I know, they're the ONLY nation to adopt a digitized heads-up display sci-fi gun like this, and actually put it into service on a large scale.They made over 20,000 sets of FÉLIN equipment.
>>65389111>starlight scopeSome engineers in the 60s:- "We made these image intensifier tubes as good as we possibly could, but they just don't intensify enough. The scopes still need huge IR spotlights to be usable. Anyone here got any ideas to solve this issue?" - 160IQ engineer with a doctorate in physics- "Have you tried using more of them?" - probably a janitor who happened to be cleaning up the conference room at the time, or something- "What, like one for each eye?"- "No, just more of them, in a line, each one amplifying the light emitted by the previous one."- "......no, we haven't tried that..."- "Well, maybe you should."- "Yeah, maybe we should...."
>>65389135That's pretty sick and looks actually useful
>>65389111Looks like he's searching for a target on the moon surface
>>65389193>looks actually usefulYeah.... about that...On paper it was quite useful, to a much higher degree than most similar systems.But when the FÉLIN was deployed in actual combat campaigns, most French soldiers carrying these things around ended up ditching like 90% of the system.They generally found these things to be heavy and clunky, as well as being slow and awkward to use.The general sentiment among them was that while the system did have some useful features, these features weren't worth all the hassles associated with the wiring, battery management, and having to carry around 20lbs of extra bullshit that they were still unlikely to use.Thus, the lasting legacy of the FÉLIN system ended up mostly being the new Pic-rail upper for the FAMAS, with an aimpoint or Eotech sight being used as the main optic rather than as an emergency back-up.
>>65389111Those early night vision sights were huge. We still had some TVS-5s floating around before they got replaced by the PAS-13. The TVS-5s actually worked pretty well considering age.
