Re:At 4.4 miles, Wyoming team sets new rifle shot world record by Animats on Sunday September 25, 2022 @02:02AM (#32969296)
It may have fallen into the category of weapons too big to lug around, and inferior to vehicle-mounted systems. That's happened before. About 10 years ago, the USMC was trying out an "automatic mortar". This accepted fire direction like artillery - forward observer designates target, data is passed to weapon, weapon duly clobbers target. Worked OK, too heavy for infantry, and there are vehicle-mounted systems already deployed which can do that job.
