Soldiers find l33t FPS skills w/ remote-operated guns useful



The new CROWS (Common Remotely Operated Weapons System) guns that are making their way into Iraq not only provide protection for soldiers by allowing remote operation, but are turning out to be especially suited to FPS junkies. The guns cost $260,000 each and can mount a variety of lethal weapons. Currently around 15 CROWS units are commisioned in Iraq every month, but the Army is hoping to get 9000 of them operational, partly due to their success with all the gamers currently serving in the infantry. The joystick operated gun, while much safer, is obviously limited in field of vision in comparison to a man mounted turret gun, but former FPS players have found plenty of success with the weapons. Boom Headshot!
