Battlefield Medkits Improve

Who has an estimate on how long it will take for the Army to outfit its troops with anti-personnel rocket launchers?" Those have been around for quite a while.
that's what I want to see on CNN!
When are they going to make a railgun?

I got a can from him. It worked. Why is this apparently a lost technology?
They discovered that it causes impotence, hair loss, and many of the canisters were contaminated with herpes.
There are no trails. There are no trees out here.
Got to love the Geneva Convention! Don't forget, no twisting of your bayonet after sticking it in to your enemy, and make sure you clean it before you stab somebody else. I'm sure you'll have time to think of this and do it when confronted by a bunch of other people trying to kill you.
...a version for after I shave?
Where's the Quad Damage and the Redeemer?

and you are standing there without a tool," said Air Force Col. Dr. Dave Hammer.
Tool, Hammer, anyone else find this funny?
I guess not...
Why? Why don't we just ban the use of any guns on infantry?
