* the flexcells mentioned are made by http://www.fmwcomposite.com and are similar to an idea I have been tossing around.
Go with God, but make Him walk the point.
If you load a mudfoot down with a lot of gadgets he has to watch somebody a lot more simply equipped - say with a stone axe - will sneak up and bash his head in while he is trying to read a Vernier. - Robert Heinlein

I thought this was interesting. Keep in mind that these ranges were for a desert war:
quote:
Enemy Engagements ~ Almost all interviewed stated all firefight engagements conducted with small arms
(5.56mm guns) occurred in the twenty to thirty (20-30) meter range. Shots over 100m were rare. The
maximum range was less than 300m. Of those interviewed, most sniper shots were taken at distances well
under 300m, only one greater than 300m (608m during the day). After talking to the leadership from various
sniper platoons and individuals, there was not enough confidence in the optical gear (Simrad or AN/PVS-10)
to take a night shot under the given conditions at ranges over 300m. Most Marines agreed they would
“push” a max range of 200m only.
