Since 2002 I always wondered why you guys had no interest in one of the most important instruments to this kiddy shoot-em up game. Here you bunch of lectus habitaculo barbarorum.

Project Pigeon, I'm guessing...B.F. Skinner ( SKINNNERRR!!!!) trained bird to peck at a specific point thereby guiding the bomb to its target. Cancelled because let's face it who's gonna trust a pigeon?

I don't have any cool pictures of weird stuff, so someone else can take my turn if I'm right. :)

Yep. Skinner was a genius.  He advanced the behavioral sciences more than anyone.

Lets hope Waffle is interested. It was mounted in the Raiden because of it's compact size. It was a copy of the Revi25 which should be the gunsights in the back seat of the 410.

This is like the old joke that voters are harsher to their beer brewer if he has an outage, than their politicians after raising their taxes. Death and taxes are certain but, fun and sex is only now.

Looks like something we all know very well doesn't it?

Looks like IJN's Type 3 gunsight for obliquely mounted weapons.

AFAIK Raiden had either the regular Type 98 or Type 4.

I certainly wouldn't want to have that sharp edge of the Type 3 in front of my face in the event of a crash landing...

Pad is missing. Was mounted in the Gekko because it had a FoV for aiming the upward firing two 20mm.
