These will be "legal" in Hawaii, right?
(Interesting hard rock instrumental music accompanies the video... never heard that on one of these narratorless video news presentations before... crank it up!)
Army sets sights on new concealable machine gunhttps://www.foxnews.com/tech/army-sets-sights-on-new-concealable-machine-gunSoldiers may soon have a covertly-carried, powerful machine gun to defend Americans who are at high risk from enemy attacks.
The new weapon would significantly boost the amount of firepower soldiers have at their fingertips to respond to a threat against individuals who are particularly attractive targets to terrorists, for example.
The threat to high-profile targets was highlighted recently when U.S. Army Brig. Gen. Jeffrey Smiley was wounded in a Taliban attack in Afghanistan’s Kandahar province.
While the weapon eyed by the military will deliver a more muscular response than those that tend to be carried on Protective Security Details, the goal is for the new beast to minimize collateral damage.
Dubbed the “Sub Compact Weapon,” this Army initiative aims to produce a smart, ultra-compact design for specific missions. This is essential because it means soldiers can be armed with a discreet and easy-to-conceal weapon. It also enables a soldier to be fast and agile to stop any threat.
