Could have done with this 30 years ago.

Unfortunately this technology only works if the round is supersonic.
It does not detect the source of the projectile unless the muzzle velocity is high enough.
Even then triangulation is difficult.
Works well on a deranged deer hunter with a death wish :P

It would okay if the locals did not nick the mikes. There was a British mobile system that was being tried out in NI but it seemed to get dropped during the peace deal

Early morning, I've just got in to work. I haven't turned my "insert
missing word here" mode on yet. ;)

But you're right if even YOU can guess what it means, then I am still asleep :wink:

cheers! :D

You are correct, it was an echo location system, it never got issued though as far as I can remember.

It would be Ace if this sort of stuff worked but I can't see it happening in all honesty.
