Re: Thermal Imaging and US Infantry
Well, I'm embarrassed to say I can't really intelligently talk specifically about max ranges for the thermal sights. We just used them so seldom and I had bigger things to worry about as a commander, but I can say they have good range. We mount them on M2 and M240 MGs most frequently, and those are our long guns in an infantry platoon or company. Rarely if ever would we mount them on a rifle since that would mean removing the daytime optic and messing up the sight's zero.
Maybe a good solution would be to give TI to MG teams but not rifle squads? Based on U.S. Army MTOE you could technically have whole squads using PAS-13s, but I never saw it.
