The Neopup is really nice! You can put HE etc into a house window 400m away with great accuracy and in record time( getting onto the target).
Yes the 40mm packs a punch but try to put it into a small target like the window of a house in Iraq very quickly. The 20mm x 42 allows you to be able to shoot your rounds onto targets without lobbing them like mortars.
You would aim it like a normal rifle .

Have a look at India. There you had gunmen in a hotel. They used 30mm grenade launchers against them..these are far from accurate. The Neopup allows you to select anything from tearggas to HE,SAPHI etc. So you can use a specific payload The new IOR x1/x4 is being evaluated now. This gives the user a quick reference at x1 magnification(CQB) and x4 for longer targets.

Watch the web for some very interesting new things surrounding the Neopup. This gun can break an ambush very quickly,think about it. A point man will find this gun usefull in an urban and bush invironment. What is the use of firing 5.56 ammo into a building trying to hit a sniper inside. Put a 20mmHE through the window and walla! He will be fragged or seriously injured and stop doing what he was doing.

On a serious note, the gun allows one to stop a sniper without having to flatten a building. It is not a RPG, but you can have a similar effect with these 20mm HE. It compliments the AR. Use the AR when needed and the Neopup for the fragging. Why shoot at somebody behind a rock,200rds later..when you simply put a 20mmHE next to the rock..kaboom!!

I’m simply a fan of the Neopup and the views and wording is from me. I just follow the project with great admiration.

Here is a link of the NTW20×82 being fired by me. Recoil is very low,the gun pushes one back. The 20 x 110 works better since there is more gas,so the break works better.Enjoy

Groot Mamba

There is an AP round as well when

But I’ll ad a caveat. Realize that there were a LOT of little Decepticons too. And against those, an M16/M4 is fairly efficient.

They were partnered with the Autobots for taking out the big Decepticons. So our soldiers were more of the scouting and point units, and small ‘cepticons. And the Autobots and the aerial artillary the main big bot killers.

Lastly, I loved the railgun. As for it not-so-secret. I thought about that too. But perhaps it was kept under a tent. Which was removed off camera before we saw it.

Anyways, while I enjoyed Transformers 2. I must confess I was a bit disappointed. It could have been a LOT better. First off, the movie dealt mostly with humans. Only a few Transformers had any real roles.

And sadly, half of the transformer roles were held by two idiotic annoying ghetto bots.

A lot of times in the movie I sat there going WTF were they thinking. I’d give the movie a C, but with just a bit of work it could have been a great A-.

One fun thing was seeing two aircraft carriers destroyed in the same hour. First the U.S.S. Kennedy in “2012″ preview. Then the carrier in Transformers 2.

OMG, that old staged Javelin video AGAIN.

Short story:
There were additional explosives in the tank (more than jsut the normal ammo load – unprotected explosives!).
It has also been argued that the tank was command-detonated at the time of impact (it even begins to explode in a video while the missile was still intact!).

REAL ATGM success and secondary effects look more like this:

He also noted that the soldiers protected Morgan Fox, who ended up without a single scratch anywhere on her body, much better than they protected that other guy she was with, who ended up dead for a while. Despite him being the one who could save the world, the soldiers prioritized correctly. Good show, soldiers!

It has both a recoilless propulsion (comparable to a Panzerfaust) and a solid-fuel rocket engine. The two-second rocket engine adds actually most of the velocity.

The advantage is that it can be fired from indoors, the disadvantage is that there’s a visible trail that gives away the shooter’s location.

The Italian Folgore is actually similar – except that it’s got a much faster projectile and doesn’t use the overcalibre aproach.

The LAW is actually coming backing into action with the US forces

I also thought it wierd that this NEST team only had crappy small arms against giant alien robots.
Talk about a suicide mission.

Send in the Autobots and stand back I say. Maybe lob some artillery or something.

Correction Steve, my friend.

The Autobots and Decepticons are two different POLITICAL FACTIONS vying for control of their home planet, Cybertron. The Decepticons ultimately WIN control of Cybertron in the original storyline, forcing the Autobots and their leader, Optimus Prime, to flee in an attempt to recoup and regroup. Not content with waiting for the Autobots to return, Megatron decides to persue them across the galaxy. The Autobots have unintentionally stumbled upon a planet called “Earth”, and not wanting to be seen as hostile invaders, they attempt to blend in with their environment while they train. They adopt the shapes of vehicles which they feel will be less likely to draw attention.

But Megatron and his Decepticons find Earth, and decide to destroy the Autobots while they can. Realizing that Earth is inhabited with sentient beings who DO possess weapons which can injure, disable, or kill a transformer (including super heroes and Nukes), they decide to adapt to the surroundings as well, and carry on the war for control of the galaxy in stealth. They adopt the forms of weapons which they feel are more likely to give them an advantage over the Autobots.

The story changes slightly in each different series, with a total apocalypse occurring on Cybertron at the end of the G1 Story arc, but ultimately, that’s why the Autobots decide to stay on Earth in the first place, because they have no home. The story is eerily similar to the story of the Chinese Nationalists and the Chinese Communists, and the original Thundercats storyline was very similar as well, but without humans.

The AA-12 using those small HE rounds definitely has some shock effect. But the Neopup seems to be much more effective. There is a use for the M-32 40mm GL(the Army doesn’t have them as far as I know just the marines) but if I were in a firefight a couple of guys with Neopups would definitely chase the bad guys away. They would have no place to hide.

Why must the DOD have to make weapons that do everything and take 10 years to work out the bugs only to find out that it’s already out of date.

I bet if you ask the combat troop in Afghanistan right now if they would like to have some of those Neopups the answer would be “hell yeah”!!!!! But no we are developing something so that the round explodes over the heads of the enemy. Well right now we need something that will go through a small wall or side of a building to eliminate cover for the enemy. How about a mix in the pup of some AP rounds to punch a hole in a wall then send some HE in there to clear them out. It’s much less costly than and effective than using a single shot rocket launcher( which if I am not mistaken cost thousands of dollars). And we don’t have to explain to the media why we are using thermobaric weapons.

Or how about punching a hole in the wall then send in some 40mm thermobaric rounds. Or hit them with HE 40mm over head and 20mm direct HE in the open, nowhere to hide, nowhere to run.

But no the DOD gives our troops 5.56 pea shooters instead or even the 6.8mm which would be a major upgrade.

Both the Russian and the Chinese have weapons like this.

and yeah, that milkor m32 thing was in part 1 and was pretty much the saving weapon. Why they decided to stop using it is beyond me lol

p.s. aside from all that, i still loved the movie lol
