XM25 explained.



Hat-tip to Tactical Life.com.

I don't know who that is that's giving the briefing on this weapon system but I do know that their is no way in hell this can be used under the current rules of engagement.

If an enemy soldier is spotted shooting from inside a building, you are not allowed to return fire against the building.  You can engage the shooter.  Do whatever it takes to time him up and hit him but you cannot target the building....you know the worry about civilian casualties and all that.

With that being said I can't see the joy the Army has in fielding this weapon.  Its a lawyers dream and a soldiers nightmare.

This has pre-trial confinement written all over it.
