You really have a problem with your head... we don't even engage
a tank with a LAW from that distance, and you think we'd try to do
it with a 40mm, ABM or NOT...
As I said all he does is post cute little pictures and stuff but
he has never fired a 40mm before... I have.
Simply put, unless the target is not moving it is extremely
difficult to hit a target at range for the simple reason the round
is so slow you have to put a very large lead on the target or if
the target simply stops or turns during the time you'll miss
entirely assuming your range was even right in the first place.
And beyond that, there's also the issue of CEP at that range. A
human operator firing a hand held weapon shooting a slow, heavy
round at extreme range is going to have a nice, fat CEP.
Even if the round is smart and programmed to explode at the
right range, it is still UNGUIDED in itself... if you aim it
wrongly or it simply misses there is no point, you'll just announce
your prescence to the enemy.
Bro.My humble ideas is come out with required products
with CURRENT technology ,not FUTURE technology.
Future technology is just a hope and may not come true,
and appear in advertisement quite often.
Current technology is real and usable.
Please don't act ignorant... you're the first one to post in
here whenever Singapore is dabbling around with new and untested
technology like in biotechnology and now you're an advocate of
sticking with current technology?
In this case, current technology is reaching it's limit with the
40mm. It's like buying a LaserDisc player when the DVD is just
about to come out.
The new grenade concept the yanks are working on is already
sound, and can work... what they are.
US one is 30 mm.I cant see how it is more capable.
Pl tell me.
You can't see how it's more capable because you are afraid of
admiting that Singapore didn't make the best choice in this case,
have NEVER fired a 40mm at all, as well as simply STUBBORN like all
your other threads in this forum where you must argue even silly
points until people prove you so wrong you have no more words to
speak.
The 25/30mm format is not only faster, it means the user has a
far easier time aiming as the flight path of the round is flatter
as well taking far less time for the round to reach the target.
Even better, one soldier can carry far more of the new grenades
then the new
Well.It may take more arounds to hit 500 to 800 m away
targets.
200---300 m seem can be done.Anyway,there is no point argue
More rounds? Are you advocating we waste precious 40mm
ammunition of which a grunt has a VERY limited supply on
handportable indirect fire that can be solved more effectively by a
120mm Mortar?
You are right, there is no point arguing... it's obvious you
never shot a 40mm grenade as well, you simply have no idea how the
thing works. It's not impossible to hit something at 300-400
meters, but it's a STUPID idea for the reason that your probability
of hitting them is so low let alone seeing the target itself, that
it isn't even attempted unless you are in a nice big open space and
the target itself is not moving.
Trying to hit a small target at extreme range like optics on an
MBT with an indirect, slow round is sheer lunacy, we have a problem
trying to hit the ENTIRE TANK with LAW rockets at that
range.
That all said, I think your idea of trying to engage tanks with
this is insane. Modern MBTs can hit 3 foot tall targets out to 2000
METERS, and their sensors and optics can easily pick you out at
that range and mail you HE round long before you can even
shoot.
Not to mention in order to really disable the optics, you need
to score a direct him. The sights of an MBT are armoured and will
not be harmed by the fragmentation effects of a 40mm. They are only
vulnerable on the armoured glass (which can easily wistand
fragmention as well) Not only is that incredibly hard to do at
range, it means that you'll have to shoot right down the viewing
arc of the tank.
Which means that the tank crew will be seeing you as you take
your shot. The probability of you killing the tank optics with a
fragmentation round is extremely low, but the probability of the
tank killing you with return fire from it's main gun and machine
guns is extremely high.
Do you have any idea how to disable tank optics with a 40mm
grenade? The glass on the optics are bulletproof and can resist
small-arms fire, what makes you think tiny pellets from a
proximity explosion smart grenade will have any
effect?
Worse, modern MBTs now have TWO main optics, so you have to
attempt your little idea TWICE. How quickly you want to get
killed?
All I can say is, another lionnoisy MythBusted!
