You are grossly mistaken. Nice little ladder sights cannot be used in 40 mm UGL systems to take out targets at 400 m or more. They are at best used for up to...

Dear Weasel,

Oh, I am absolutely clear what is the meaning of bionic & so do a vast majority of others. But when you persist & insist that a weapons sight is bionic even after it has been explained to you in the simplest possible terms in a dictionary, I will have to rest my case about your vocabulary level.

OK, OK................you missed. Told you so. Just only if the SAF had equipped you with a RAAM type FCS.........it cud have turned out differently.

Now you are confusing nukes with 40 mm ULGs......... I give up ................

lol. Like I said, when facts fail, turn to personal insults esp self-deluded insults.

Too bad. Since this has been a wishing thread, I think most people, myself included, would prefer good looking women companions in NS instead of a raam.

Dear Weasel,

A fact is a fact. You confused it is as an insult. You will just have to accept that you missed the target when you fired your M203 a long long time ago & now wish that you had a RAAM that day. It is you who is in fact delusionary when you fail to see the plain truth.

When facing the enemy coming at you from 400 m away, I rather have the RAAM & ULG. Funny I never met any good looking women during NS in my SIR unit. That explains it.............in NS were you in the SAF Music and Dance Troupe ?

With all these raam this raam that, you seem to have a raam fetish :)

I prefer a woman, you prefer a raam. Preference noted.

True I rather have a RAAM in a combat situation. For other situations, female company from SAF Music and Dance Troupe will of course be much more welcome.

I think the British Army uses H&K UGLs with a new FC system which significantly improves first round hits. I believe it is uses a basic laser rangefinder / ballistic computer system.

SAF shud adopt such as system especially with extended range rounds. Worth the expense when you hit a target. Missing your target only attracts incoming rounds to the firer.

can u pl quote the source of info.

2. i think only STK and NAMMO can make GL with airbursting . USA is, at most, testing it in small scale in afgan n IRAQ.

3. pl search my old threads in this forum.u search NAMMO, Nammo in posts.

Sepecat SG

I am not referring to air burst rounds. The British Army used H&K AG36 UGLs with standard 40 mm LV grenades to good effect with the FC.

STK and Nammo have developed airburst LV 40 mm rounds but whether these have been adopted by any army in any significant amount is unclear.

The trend is also for medium velocity 40 mm rounds effective to 600 to 800 m ranges, thermobaric rounds , inert munitions etc.
