Wonders of destruction

[Rodgers]

In the current anti-geese climate has anyone got any pictures of geese being shot? Preferably with a VERY large gun?

Hmmm, that's classified information, but I'll see what I can find...

The High Speed Vessel, Experimental Craft One, (HSV-1), Joint Venture, prepares to get underway during local training exercises in the Arabian Gulf. Joint Venture, an experimental craft, was originally designed as a civilian car and passenger ferry. Currently, it is in the research and development stage to be used by the United States military as a rapid troop and equipment transport carrier. Joint Venture is currently on a scheduled six to twelve month deployment in support of Operation Enduring Freedom.

Tests finished, Tavor is now at second generation development:

Tavor Successfully Completes IDF Evaluations
IMI Tavor assault rifle has recently completed extensive field evaluations with one of the IDF leading infantry brigades. The evaluations were very positive and overall, Tavor proved to be significantly more accurate and reliable compared to competing weapons, and it became the favorable weapon by the majority of the infantrymen participated in the tests. A decision on large scale procurement for elite infantry brigades is expected soon. The weapon proved to be more comfortable to operate, and more accurate in instinctive fire, as the natural carrying position – an inherent advantage of the rear center of gravity, derived by the compact bullpup design. IMI believes that Tavor will soon take its place as a leading brand in the world market, similar to the ubiquitous Uzi, IMI produced in the 1950s.

Tavor 2 under development at IMI
Development of Tavor-2 is underway at Israel Military Industries (IMI), as part of the Future Infantry Warrior program, launched by the IDF Ground Forces Command. Tavor 2 is designed as an integral part of the Infantry Combat System and provides a major increase in lethality and survivability for the individual infantryman and to the infantry squad. Based on the standard Tavor, the new weapon will integrate integral fire control, and the capability to fire support weapon such as rifle grenades, from the standard weapon. Tavor 2 will be equipped with a day/night sight, miniature laser rangefinder and target marker, which will enable the user to engage targets rapidly and accurately, at high precision. The weapon uses four pushbuttons – to activate the weapon’s systems, sending images and report positions, to the battlefield management systems. The Tavor 2 weapon will also include the fire control and firing systems for a new squad support, augmented lethality munitions, under development at IMI.
