J.M. Burr;

Sounds like you might have been in the military. Your right. My people are at Raytheon now. Missiles. Interesting info.

Does VLNC want to be gobbled up with its patents? I would love to see a tender offer made. Quick profit. I don't think the rest of the thread would care for it, though.
Bill

J.M., et.al: Here's some interesting "stuff" on that Alliant rifle. By the way, you should note that it WILL have foreign manufacture support, interestingly enough:

First, Here's a photo of the weapon from Janes Defence:

janes.com

Then, a little background:

combatsim.com

And here's a Salt Lake Tribune 1998 article:

sltrib.com

Finally, about halfway down on this URL are some soldierly(is that a word?) thoughts on the weapon of(civilian?) choice:

dtic.mil

The bottom line on this is the battery power is obvious for infra-red, range finding, & weapon "programming" purposes. No deer hunter should be without one, heh!

Regards!

John~
