Re: has anybody seen the new switchblade weapon system??

Maybe I'm being too negative, but a lot of that video looked fake to me. Watch the scene at the end where it blows up the truck. That has CGI written all over it.

You mean they shouldn't have actually blown up a truck with two actors in it?

I'm guessing that the weapon is not fully developed and in production yet, and this is just a sales video. It shows what the weapon could do, even if it isn'r yet battle ready.

It worked OK for me at work, but when I clicked on the liveleak link at home I think I got the same thing Muddy did...

Just click on the exclamation point to report a post. I don't think reporting a post has to be negative, it is to request assistance from a moderator only. In fact, I'm going to report myself to a moderator and we'll see the result.

Good call BDK...
