What new tactics would become viable if a soldier of average ability could reliably hit a target at 1000 yards?
Basically this has been the pipe dream of all armies, once bolt action rifles matured, and all the way up through WWII.
If you don't, you're as useful as a battleship in WWII (not very).
Capital ships like Carriers can't be everywhere at once, and there were a lot of WWII engagements involving cruisers, destroyers, and smaller craft. So, what is the difference between a cruiser and a battleship? Basically scale.
This "guaranteed hit" tech basically tries to solve the trigger pull and flinch problems. It might be quite useful if it could be scaled down to handgun size in a red-dot like form factor.
