Looks pretty ingenious for open battle space, aerial support, etc. Maybe Jesse Ventura predator minigun will finally be a reality! I imagine the 18E-18B duo can improvise one with antenna and some wiring :D
That might help those new women in combat arms;)

Dass sexiss.
....I can see it coming though. Who needs barrel-chested freedom fighter when with a few contraptions here and there a 5'2" 110 lbs gorgeous lady can shoot a Barrett off hand. Plus, she serves as WMD, weapon of mass distraction!
That abortion publicly hit the infantry community way down here a week or so ago.
I'm ALL about experimenting and "failing fast".
But that thing is a case study of a bad solution in search of a non existent problem.
Trying to place this is an operation..
1) CQB sweep INSIDE houses, villages, or buildings?? NO
2) Jump with it?? No
3) Ride or transit in M-ATV?? No
4) Parades?? Maybe
5) Open country ruck march?? Maybe
6) Bn PT march?? Yes, but need yellow PT belt
7) Pony Keg run at team house?? YES , WIN WIN WIN
That might help those new women in combat arms;)
Added weight - looks like a good idea for heavy weapons but you still have to carry the extra weight to where you'll be shooting.
Don't see it as a plus in vegetated areas.

Ever know someone that was described as, "He would lose his head if it wasn't attached!"???
Now those in need of the most help can have some redundancy. :D
I bet the medics with DDS aspirations love this concept.
