We have a computerized sight that will allow the pilot to accurately deliver bullets at almost any slant range, including well outside of their tactical effective range. i.e. the sight will tell you where they'll hit, even past the point where they've lost all of their kinetic energy.
2 degrees DOWN - there is the answer!
See - RTU/FRS IPs think alike
Btw - enjoyed your spaces at the Hawg Pens recently.
When were you last there?
