Re: Thermal Imaging and US Infantry
"Range" from manufacturer claims (like everything else) needs to be taken with a large grain of salt.
While the maximum range of a 5.56mm Nato round is 2,860m the "effective" range is around 4-500m, depending mostly on the specific type/model of rifle firing it.
I suspect the "effective" range of the AN/PAS 13 is something Airborne Rifles could tell us.
