Subject: OT: 20MM not yet in US arsenal Re: sniper weapons for SGII
I realize this is not what folks are talking about, but the damn thing looks so 'Aliens'-like I thought it might be of interest to the group, especially the sculpt-it-yourself folks. A joint developement between Alliant Technologies and Heckler-Koch, both the German and US divisions, the Objective Individual Combat Weopen combines a HK 5.56 mm rifle with a 20MM clip-fed grenade launcher. However, I have to agree with a friend that thinks the rifle barrel should be on the top, in interest of rifle accuracy. *shrug* For those with web access: http://www.atk.com/BUSINESS/Defense/Products/Shoulder-fired%20Weapons/oi cw. htm The_Beast
