It's deadly, and amazingly accurate, down to the sub-atomic level, but here's the thing, sir, it is programmed not to discriminate between... erm... it says here... shapes, colours, religions, height, weight, race or nationality, friend or foe, human or animal, sex or age. Whaddya reckon?

So, let me get this straight, its easy to use, two men can carry it if required to any point of the battle area, takes only ten minutes to set up and requires just 30 minutes instruction ....

It looks really high tech..

but what does it do?

Nothing, but that’s not the point, it looks high tech, the yanks have seen it and have committed to a large order.
