Awesome, just saw a pic of Airtronic's version of the Russian RPG-7 rocket launcher. As I said before, a slightly modernized version would be quite useful for our own troops. Its cheaper than the rocket/missile systems in our inventory, plus still powerful and reliable. And unlike the LAWs, SMAWs, and M136s, the launcher is reusable, so you can have someone with it and four or five rockets, as opposed to just one or two heavy, disposable, single shot tubes. Plus, it gives the firer more utility, as they can carry all sorts of different and interesting rounds- HEAT, thermobaric, etc. Yeah, it doesn't have any fancy sensors, but its a friggin rocket propelled grenade, you don't really need to be that accurate with those things!

But yeah, looks like it has an M-16 style pistol grip, and picatinny rails galore. So, it can be equipped with all the fancy optics and accesories and swot-not- holo sights, lasers, night vision, etc. And the bottom rail seems to have a vertical foregrip (though its behind the trigger mechanism, so is it still a foregrip?) and a M4 carbine style adjustable stock.

TV commentary:

Sarah Connor Chronicles- Finally got around to watching the first half of this past week's ep, which I missed because of the storm news. Man, if that ends up being the series finale, that's gonna suck. spoiler cut )
