The Tactical Dilemma...A Geek Gun?

I'd put a NOS kit on it, with foggers. Probably a direct port injection system.
That should give the 5.56 and extra 50hp out the barrel.

Get some low-profile rubbers for the mags...none of the ugly looped magpuls that sticks out so high.

I couldn't possibly see any use for a GPS attached to a strictly range gun if you're a civi. Unless you get lost going from the blue rockets to the firing line. But your Garmin will only give you 3 meter accuracy, and then, you might end up in front of the firing line...OOPS.

If the soldier needed a GPS he would already be carrying one...

I thought they all had special GPSs, with waypoints preprogramed and a unit rigged so that a soldier got some pressure or other kind of feedback when he was on the right course, so he could navigate without using hands or lights.

sounds like a neat idea actually. i've seen compasses on guns.
as to the toaster-ma-bob... attach a small thermonuclear reactor underneath the stock. :D

Uhhhhh riiighhhht.....
 
What we need is less sh*t strapped to the front of the rifle. As of now, when we go out, we have the PAQ-4 laser and a surefire flashlight. Add this to the ALREADY front heavy C7a2 and it had a noticable effect on my accuracy, even at 50m.
 
Former colleague of mine had a compass taped to the fore-end of his rifle.

Of course, this is B.C., where GPS ain't always worth s&*t in the steep valleys with oodles of tree cover. You can't always find three sattelites!

The sad fact is that if you see a Canadian soldier carrying a GPS in the field there's at least a strong possibility he/she bought it him/herself - at the local store before he left using his(her) own money. If you see 2 at once the chance is 90% one of them came from home.(this according to friends - jump in if i'm wrong guys)

I'd say thats about right. We have GPS units but they go in the vehicles, and the handheld ones are in short supply (at least from what i've seen).
 
FWIW Garmin are issued. -- the PLGR96+ is the disaterously bulky ones are in great supply.
Mo unit are not deployable so they typically dont get kit.
 
There is supposed to be lots of DAGRs overseas right now, surprised that not every section has at least one. I guess maybe it's stuck in a seacan somewhere.
 
I can confirm that the Daggers are being used here down to the section level. Great piece of kit compared to the plugger paper weight. Very easy to use and up-loadable with maps and such.

I am going to get beat up for saying it, but it will be worth it!

I have seen a swiss army knife. I saw Red Green duct tape a bunch of handy implements to a spade and call it a swiss army shovel....so I suppose that pic of the AR15 festooned with all the junk is a ...swiss army rifle?

HAR HAR HAR!

*OOOOOFFFF*
 
What you really need is the Army's "Land Warrior" prototype for an M4 carbine. IR Laser designator, FLIR, small LCD screen to display what the FLIR sees or IR laser puts the spot onto. Other neat gee-whiz ideas I can't recall, but the rifle actually seems to disappear when all the technology is added. Don't know the actuall weight, but I'd guess about 7 kg (15.5 pounds). Oh, yeah, batteries aren't included in the multi-thousand dollar price tag. No GPS either.
