heavilyarmedhippie:  ohwasteland:  suomisodassa:  Finnish soldiers during military exercise ITÄ10  Can someone explain what that stuff on the helmets is, and how it works?  laser tag sensors. the guns are loaded with blanks- the blanks trigger the box at the end of the barrel, which shoots a laser beam. if it hits one of the flashlight-looking things on the helmets and vests, it makes a really loud and sustained beep, and lets the grader know that that guy just got blasted. expensive as fuck.  Perhaps expensive, but I would imagine it's cheaper than simunition, with a more realistic range for the weapons as well (ignoring the fact that lasers don't suffer from bullet drop or windage).
