Ok, so imagine your company is making a raid on a suspected insurgent hideout in Ramadi at a house in the middle of a narrow street. You are taking small arms fire from guards posted along your route. Two members of different squads advance forward and clear the street with their new FRAG-12's.
Two more squads hustle down to the door of the suspected hide out and bust the door in. Barrels from various rifles point into the room, but no one enters. they are waiting for a team member to step to the threshold and burst a few rounds from the Warfare Weapon of the Week; Silly String. Yep, that neon string crap that kids shoot at birthday parties.
Apparently some Grunt came up with the idea that, if he could spray a few blasts of Silly String into a room (it shoots like 15 feet or so), that he could tell that the room was trip wired if the string hung suspended or clear of a booby trap wire if the string fell to the floor.
I saw this shit at a Dollar Store for, well, a dollar. Last year I sent 12 dozen pairs of socks over. Maybe I should start a Silly String Charity this year.

WISH LIST PART 2
JD Allen got a kick out of the auto shotgun video and asked what is is? Well JD, after some research I found that it is called the Auto Assault-12 (AA-12) Full-Auto Shotgun manufactured by Military Police Systems, Inc. (MPS). It has a 20 round drum, but fires at a rate of 300 rds. per min. MPS is joining forces with Experimental Cartridge Company, Ltd. and Action Manufacturing Inc. to create what is now called the FRAG-12.
I have found a few other manufactures of full auto shotguns, but the one described above is the one in the video.
I have also found that they are developing a drone helicopter equipped with the FRAG-12, called the AutoCopter Gunship. They have a video that I am trying to get of the copter doing a test fire. If I can't get it to play on here, I'll post a link.
Overall, I would say that the AA-12, and it's 20 rd. drum, would clear an alley in Ramadi fairly quickly. The FRAG-12 would have endless possibilities in warfare.
More on this later...
"There are three members of the FRAG-12 munition family: the FRAG-12 High Explosive (HE), FRAG-12 High Explosive Fragmenting Antipersonnel (HEFA, or HE-FA), and FRAG-12 High Explosive Armor-Piercing (HEAP, or HE-AP)."
