Your Flying Marines Are Here!

[T2C]

Its all fun and games till someone gets blown away by MANPADS.

Or if someone forgets to put the CIWS in standby mode when the flyer approaches the ship.

If you locked a Marine in a room with three ball bearings and came back in an hour one would be lost, the second broken, and the third pregnant. Good luck with Jet Packs.

Future wars will be fought with aircraft and computers, not this shit. This is the military industrial complex at its worst.

Nope. Clays move fast and can be hard to hit.

But I still want one to fly around my neighborhood.

Wonder what the total range is on that thing.

Well the typical strung out Somali pirate is going to have a rusty old Kalashnikov so at least they'll have a sporting chance.

That’s easy. Jet pack appreciation humps, wherein Marines are forced to ruck their jet pack and all their other shit for 10-12 miles or more for conditioning.

They'd need to put a glow strap on while humping and flying as well for "obvious" safety reasons

I can see it now: zipping along 30 feet off the water and you see R2D2 start spinning up.... "fvck fvck fvck fvck fvck.....", franticly unstrapping and trying to ditch at sea.

Needs more chest mounted guns.

But seriously, I think this would be far more practical as a hoverboard-style concept to leave hands free.

Army 1st SGTs everywhere are shaking their heads wondering why there isnt a PT belt visible.

Another step closer to The Mobile Infantry!

They’re going to be screaming at soldiers in impotent rage, knife hands flailing, and veins bulging in foreheads.

When the Army gets the jet packs they will have them painted in high visibility yellow with reflective tape all over them. The SgtMaj of the Army will make sure of it.

USMC will buy them just so the recruiters can play a flying-marine video non stop.
