Your pistol/rifle/shotgun is a weapon, it is not a weapon system.
A battleship fires its guns with a weapon system.
A tank fires its guns with a weapon system.
A fighter fires missiles with a weapon system.
A bomber drops bombs with a weapon system.
Weapon systems fire weapons.
What system fires your small arm?
What range, lead, wind, and cant compensation is part of your small arm?
You sound like a fucking moron calling small arms weapons systems.
Yep. You got it right.
ReplyDeleteOf course, when you plug in body-carried ballistic computers, tied in with GPS systems, tied in with squad-data pads and 'smart' scopes, some people's weapons do meet the qualifications for 'weapons systems.'
But most of us? The organic system holding and firing the gun doesn't count, does it?
