Nicely put, and I agree with you to a point. Granted we use the same basic design as from the 1950's, but that is not the sole weapon available and there have been modifications and improvements to both the weapon and the ammunition. Do you think NASA has the same problems with its computers as the average Microsoft user?? I doubt that the US military will allow soldiers on the battlefield with slipshod programming or hardware.
On the opposite side of the coin, in a discussion I had with RnderSafe, it was said that new battlefield technology should not be looked at with rose-colored glasses, as there will be unforseen problems with it. Gear should be utilized, not relied upon.
