Please correct me if I am wrong, but I know that in some explosive projectiles and missles there are timing devices to arm the weapon once it is a certain distance from the launching position as to keep crews and vehicles safe.

Could this be implemented on more weapons since it is already on launcher fired grenades?

I've never heard of this.

I don't know if Soraflair is joking; but DancingCorpse is right, there are minimum effective ranges for weapons like tow missles, and other heavy ordnance.

Hmmm, this would eliminate a lot of unfortunate friendly fire incidents.

(yes, i know it's been posted before, but it fits the thread!!!)

Well think on some of the ammo i have used with the Carl Gustav there was a timer function on the grenade it self.

Cant remember if it was a timer or a distance setting though. (To many years since i used that good old weapon)
