    Lase. Calculate. Fire.

    God I love engineering.

    At first glance, a few hundred dollars a shot is not cost effective. But then factor in the delta for traditional operator vs 25mm training, mutual effectiveness of operator transport, blue casualty evac, and potential for reduction in casualty hospice costs... well perhaps even a few hundred dollars is on the cheap. This rifle has been in validation tests forever. Good to see it wiping the goblins off the planet. Go Master Chief!
