Sheesh, soon everything will be uparmored and our armies will be vanquished by peasant bowman as your valiant men fall over in a muddy French field and can't right themselves because of the weight.
I remember a bigger shield rifle mount thingy a year or two back. Much more unwieldy than these.
But, you know... you could totally camo those shields and they might even assist a bit with countering some thermal imaging, so maybe there is something to it. Even if it does cut down your field of vision.
And add however much extra asymmetric weight to the front of a rifle that is already loaded down with a float tube, a fore grip, a drum mag, and a bipod.
ReplyDeleteThis thing weighs much more and it will need a hard point on the top of an M-RAP to support it.
