It's the first step in the direction people want of the "future weapons program".

A stock with a big battery pack to have a top rail with some form of connector to power your optics and lights/nvg stuff.

They said something that some day there will be an motor of sorts that will just be switch activated to adjust the zoom ring.

With this in mind imagine how well the new military optic system will evolve.

People talking shit about this now are the same people who looked down on the ar15, and every evolution of concepts that we now hold true for the modern weapon system.

Remember how most things started in a shed 200 years ago?
