Pretty cool stuff. Reminds me of the guns in Starship Troopers.

it's a pretty cool launcher ... its nice to see them taking large size weapons and making great technology in such a small package, they started field testing in iraq this year

That was a painfully stupid interview from both ends.

Interesting weapon but he does have a point about the enemy getting ahold of it. I can understand it would be difficult to duplicate but saying they couldn't use it because it was beyond their abilities is just a moronic assumption.
