Your welcome Gums. The Sniper advanced TGP is actually one of the best TGP's for A2A work with decent A2G performance as well. The Lightning G4 pod that we use on our Vipers is better for A2G but inferior to the Sniper in A2A.

Most of the TGP's nowadays are both A2A and A2G capable. Optics are getting better and software updates gives us more and more capabilities. The SWIR feature is one of the nicest recent features. It enables us to look into IR shadows by using the training laser as an illuminator. Great stuff that the geeks with the thick glasses are coming up with....
