military application of hoverboard
- Thread starter Manonthestreet
- Start date
Why ruck march when you can hover up the hillA hover board wouldn't last very long in the mountains, the winds are just to much...I know I wouldn't get on one with a combat load...sure wouldn't want to carry the damn thing....
The whole idea of these being useful for military applications is ridiculous.
They may be useful in some obscure way I haven't been able to discern but I dont see it.
For one the things are loud,and two you become a big fat target.

Nope. Those cave dwellers see a platoon of hovering men, I think that'll rattle their nests. Plus, shooting skeet is so easy because you're using a shotgun. The enemy never comes close enough for that kind of shot. Most engagements are 300+meters.

Surely you've heard of the golden BB.
I sure as hell wouldnt want to advance on a dug in position with zero cover,but thats just me.

In the spirit of this thread yes.

They wouldnt be surprised if you were riding those things.
They'd hear you coming a mile away giving them lots of time to set up an ambush.

How many decibels are you saying these hoverboards make. Not to mention, they might see flying soldiers and think we're some kind of God army.You now know the enemies position?

It would have to be pretty loud...loud enough that you would lose situational awareness I would bet.

The 2nd Gen Exoskeleton Robotic Suit
now combine with this untethered version for Special forces you'll be able to carry all kinds of surprises for the enemy.

It's not a matter of getting used to it.
I want to be able to hear whats going on around me.
Moving through say the streets of Fallujah would be a death sentence.

Just an example of where it would be a bad idea.
Personally I wouldnt want to be out in the open riding something that screams "HERE I COME"!!!
I'd rather use all available cover and concealment on the ground thanks.

Yep
Even for some special missions using a hover board there would be too many possibilities for the need scrub a mission to make it useful...even a skilled helicopter pilot on the Bin Laden mission flew into a wall...for regular Infantry forget it, one has enough trouble keeping infantry units up to combat strength without giving them something many will end up with many non-combat related injuries...

Even if the claims are true, how in the world could the U.S. military gain anything from propelling a human through the air at 93 mph for 7-10 minutes? Legend has it that a 57 chevy was propelled through the air for the same length of time with a couple of military rockets.
Yeah.....how great would it be to be a loud and large clay pigeon?
I'll walk thanks......
