Yeah, I'm sure a 120v outlet will be right handy when your 3 days in a hide in the middle of no place... Guess they would need one of them solar charger... Just one more thing to carry

Apparently you've never been to Afganistan. I would venture to say that 3-4 out of 5 people in theater has some form of MP3 player.

We use a PDA for all of our Ballistic software. There are better programs than the one Knight has.

I wasn't doubting people have a music player.

I was saying most probably dont have an I-Pod strapped to their sniper rifle

Are they special encrypted PDA device or are they civilian style ones like i-phones, blackberrys, etc?

We don't strap it to the weapons system. We just carry them in our kit.

No, there not encrypted, and yes just a regular PDA.

Very little beverage would be left in the can if that was hanging off the Armalite 50BMG I shoot on occasion.

Thats a .308, and it's an Accuracy International. Not Armalite.

You mean if it was hanging off your Armalite. Now that I reread it, it's clear as mud.

I guess it would be nice to enjoy a nice refreshing beverage after you blow so poor sob's head off. Practical maybe not, but isn't that what military spending is all about?
