If the electricity really goes out and after the batteries are used up, you better hope you have an old fart around that knows how to shoot with iron sights. All this wizz bang stuff is great until then.

Damn neat, I guess it takes all the work away from a spotter. But you better not run out of batteries!

I gragitated from high school with this embedded reporter/blogger (Mike Yon). He is one of the few that really reports the $#@+ the way it is, and suffers not the brass-laden fools. I highly recommend subscribing to his blog.

More likely a play on Asimovs " I, Robot".
