Hehe, no need to apologize, I don't generally take anything people say over the internet personally, and FYI i never claimed it was accurate/real etc, I was brought up in a military family (most of whom went on to join the Police) so I have a rough idea of what tech the military has access to as opposed to Police etc etc etc, I just found it an amusing article (whether for itself, or the glaringly obvious flaws in the story).
EDIT: Oh, and this -
sorry to say is wrong, the targeting hardware for Sidewinders can be changed, as its necessary to be able to update/upgrade the weapons as technology advances or the situation warrents.
Peace out :turned:
