Well, Its not nearly so much of a "game changer" as advertised......What all the "gee whiz" does is program the fuse on a grenade prior to shooting it. IOW all the nifty stuff is in the grenade, not the launcher ! Bound to happen, given the pace of minaturization and the development of more stable, higher velocity explosives.

IMO,great to have one in the squad, but perhaps not so "great" for the carrier. Remember someone's got to pack ammo for the thing......And it won't take long for the wogs to target him first, either ! >MW
