What it will do is calculate a balistic solution, including wind, based on the parameters the scope reads. There are devices out there now that do this, but do not read windage. Examples are the Barrett BORS, as well as scope from Hensolt. There are reports of prototypes before the end of 2011. R. You can run, but you'll just die tired.

There is only one kind of dead, but there are many different kinds of wounded.
