MP 0 Posted January 6, 2002 Military grade LTD wernt around back in 1985. The LTD's of today leave no visable laser dot on the target (similar to a CD player laser). You could'nt see it if it was shining in your face. The model in flashpoint seem's to be a Topographical instrument used to find the contours of land for geological surveys and mapper's. I can't think of the name they use for them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Damage Inc 0 Posted January 6, 2002 If you turn tracers off you don't see a laser dot. But on the topic, it doesn't matter to me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The only things that disturbs me is why the LTD can´t be operated on it´s tripod. Although shoulder launched is optional and not unrealistic- it´s not as precise as if fired steady from the tripod. Ground based LTD´s operate within a tactical range, that is around 3KM, lasering this distance precisely freehand is impossible, that´s why LTD´s come with a tripod, that might look to civillians like "instrument used to find the contours of land for geological surveys and mapper's" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
