Many countries use fences, video cameras and land mines along borders, soon machines guns will be mounted on towers, guided by lasers and ordered by programs to fire at targets within certain parameters.(people)
Should they be used on borders, should they be used at military installations, prisons and/or private areas?
Please indicate if, where and why.
I forgot to add soldiers with guns are used along borders too!

I see pictures all the time of some Army infantrymen with M203′s, on either the M-16′s or M4A1′s.

Then you have the old M-14 I see once in a while.

Then various versions of Colt-like sniper rifles.

Do you have to be "sniper" qualified to be issued a sniper rifle? What about an M203 attachment? And how would you know weather or not you will be issued an M4 over an M-16?

You know the saying "This is my rifle, there are many like it but this one is mine……", well, does it vary per branch, or do you always get re-issued your rifle you first laid hands on since in basic every time until get meet a certain criteria or something?

Also, for the accessories, some are issued to soldiers with scopes, lights, lasers, 4-grips, the list goes on. Is it just a random choice of the weapon holders on base (or whatever they are called) that give an issued rifle to a soldier? And, do you always get your EXACT same issued rifle back to you when you report for duty? Or does the gun-cage just hand you the same type but not the same exact gun(s) and or/sidearms every time you report for Duty?

I am mainly asking about the US Army above all other branches. I am very confused about how that all works. I know if you are a Ranger or are in Spec. Ops you would have specific loadouts for the hightened tactical sense to it. Like the rold\e of a Sniper, would need to be issued a sniper every time he has to report for duty.

1 more question, if someone got the Marksman award in basic training in the Army, would that grant them certain weaponry? Or just a plain M4 with no sights or anything on it like every new recruit? And if getting Marksman in basic, and with added Airborne school, after 11X training would you have a better chance of making the 11B (Infantry) or would that have no influence of what the Army chooses yoyr MOS to be? Shouldn’t be it the SLOWER GRADUATES that go to 11C not mix-match them?

And I am ashamed the M9 is the standard issued sidearm. Why can’t we have Glocks or Colt 1911′s?? Seriously, even for basic infantry, they should move on from those lame M9′s.

How do soldiers get the attachments for their weapons?Ive noticed a few with scopes,a few with grenade launchers,a few with lasers,flashlights,etc…(some have all).Do they pay for it,receive it from the military,or what?

Many counters exist for missiles(lasers, goaltender machine gun, …) but can a state of the art destroyer of carrier do anything against a torpedo after it is launched?

does anyone know if they can make rifle sized laser gun to shoot people. if so how will that change warfare. if they have all these hi tech satillites why do they send recon units. please be serious
since we have large lasers today that can vaporize people, how come we aren’t using them in iraq. put them on fighter jets or helicopters
