That guy is an actual Royal Marine Commando - he's not cosplaying.
- ch4s3 5y agoI think the point is that when you see demos, it's always him dressed up as a marine, mountain rescuer, etc and not someone else.
- hammyhavoc 5y agoWhat difference does it make who demonstrates it? All that matters is application, performance, and whether it is fit for purpose.
- ch4s3 5y agoI think the earlier posters are pointing out that no one else seems to be able to safely operate the thing, which suggests that it might not be fit for purpose.
- Dylan16807 5y agoThe amount of training matters. If it's always him, that has some implications on how hard it is to turn into a product. And a quick demo doesn't do a good job of showing fit for purpose either. Maybe performance.
- hammyhavoc 5y agoI can see this potentially having some usefulness if refined, but from a strictly practical perspective, I can't see many pilots surviving a boarding if the vessel has any firearms. It just lacks maneuverability.
- chrisseaton 5y agoYou (obviously) combine it with fire support. Just like a ladder or helicopter assault on a ship, or an infantry attack on land, or really any other military manoeuvre.
- hammyhavoc 5y agoSure, I don't disagree here. My point is that whether it is fit for purpose remains to be seen or whether it's a solution in search of a problem versus alternatives.
- toqy 5y agoIsn't the point being made that there is nobody else capable of demonstrating it?
