ooh…got a little wood there, eh?<\/p>\n
Well, not really a tracer… NO BODY wants all tracers in their magazines\/belts. After all, we all know one of the basic rules – “Tracers work both ways”. That purty little streak that shows you where it’s headed in the dark also tells where it came from…no bueno.<\/p>\n
A new add-on device, the ThermoSight HISS-HD, a long-range cooled thermal sniper and machine gun sight by Teledyne FLIR, offers high-resolution views at 2,200 meters, or more than 7,000 feet, and the ability to see the shooter\u2019s bullet in flight even without tracers.<\/p>\n
The HISS-HD is a clip-on thermal sight that fits in front of the existing weapon optic. It was originally developed for the .338 Norma Magnum machine gun, which is still under development, but is compatible with existing weapons such as the M240B machine gun, Fuller said.<\/p>\n
The sight offers four times the resolution and clarity of existing thermal sights. What that means for shooters is the ability to see details as precise as whether a target\u2019s hands are at their sides, or if they\u2019re carrying a weapon even at distances over a mile.

Anyone who has picked up a recently fired bullet knows those little buggers are HOT.\u00a0 You rotate a bullet a quarter million times a minute (that’s actually a tad low) as it pushes through the air at an average speed of around a half a mile per second – there will be some serious stress, friction and heat on that projectile.\u00a0 But DETECTING that is more of a trick- by the time you see it, it has already stopped moving.<\/p>\n
Imagine something that can see that heated track, co-witnessed (meaning in the same line) with your scope or whatever sights. Make that a box maybe 3″ square and 10″ long. Make it able to see that path and target- precisely – a mile and a half away even in daytime. And the other guys can’t see it.<\/p>\n
That is some SERIOUS force multiplication.<\/p>\n
And a .338 Norma Mag machine gun to boot? Viagra for gun bunnies.<\/p>\n
