The Roman pilum, scutum, and gladius hispaniensis basically let their infantry be the best for a good 300 years.

I forget the name of the show because it was so short lived, but Spike did a show with Richard Mackowicz (sp?) the ex-SEAL, where special-ops units from various nations would compete against each other taking down various targets, it was very cool to see the (not real units, but thrown together for tv) individuals and their varying tactics. If i had to guess why its not still on, i wouldnt guess lack of viewers, its that the military didnt want enemies seeing strengths and weaknesses played out on live tv. |

Not military and far from practical, the largest rifle ever.

Heavy and repeated use of biological weapons is the only modern tactic I would care for. Sad.

Yep, i'd completely forgotten how they used to catapult plague vicitms into besieged towns, good call guys.
How about this, invisibility cloak in action or "frame lag"?... ed- not sure why it wont load, but it appears to show a soldier appear out of nowhere and climb onto an Abrams in the middle east during a firefight. |

Thats pretty badass, Bowser, has some real range to it at 800 meters, love the way the spokesman put "it basically creates a one man mortar team".
Going to the live fire 203 range was the always the single most fun thing i did in the army. |
