Ah yes, I've heard about these...I'm not sure about the $15,000 price tag, that's what mine cost, so I assume more. I think it would take the fun out of it for me though, I'm analogue and so like to do all those things myself. The other thing is, at distance the wind at the target needs to be factored, not just at the shooters position, and I'm not sure how a laser reads wind. The bullet slows the further it goes and so wind has a greater effect. Gravity can be accounted for with elevation, but wind? I'm always looking at wind at the target, reading the speed and direction in the trees, grass, blown dust, even the mirage, and accounting for it in the shot.
Still, in certain circumstances this system would work pretty well I think. The funny thing is that if we're hearing about it, the military have superseded it 300 times already. It would be really interesting to see what weapons the really have, what level they have taken them to.
