geeze - would they not be easy targets from anyone onboard with a rifle or even a handgun??
I would assume an actual boarding would happen at night and with a dozen or so simultaneous boarders

Not that it matters but that video is about 5 years old.

I want those to use during traffic jams. Pop open sunroof and shoot over to a local coffee shop and get a cup to go and fly back.

That’s not US Marines…UK Royal Marines.

These aren't US Marines, they're Royal Marines, and this video has to be getting close to 10 years old by now.
Still cool

Yep, just said ’marines’, non specific.
But 5-10 years old now, how many times we ever heard of this being used in any capacity? Whether rescue or assault …
While it’s certainly fast, it’s not stealthy. So there goes the element of surprise.

It’s not like fast roping from a fricking helicopter is stealthy either

And that’s the point. If you’re on the high seas, what is the fastest way to get a group of good guys on a moving ship full of bad guys?
Plus, what gear and supplies are you bringing along with you when you are playing Rocketeer?
Surgical for sure but… when would you use it?

If we're seeing it now, China already has it. And we already have something better.

We have had this shite since the 80s. You should see our space laser system. They can shoot the beer out of your hand when you are riding in a bass boat going 50-60 mph, or at least they could 15 years or so go.
A lot of terrorist who are killed by drone attacks are really killed by the “Jewish space lasers” like MTG said but they ain’t Jewish.
If you are off Biloxi during week next few weeks u can catch a glimpse of some of our new stealth landing craft as they test them
