Atlanta Laser Testing 3/21

[MEM-TEK]

Bradthemad was getting poor results for the rear of his car. He had his LI's mounted vertical. He and I worked on them and mounted them horizontally instead. Rear protection improved dramatically.

I'll be very interested in looking at the test course... Is it the same as last time?
I thought you guys figured it out after getting those poor results from last time?
I'd check those setups and LI systems, something is not right...

[MEM-TEK]

We used the same test course as last time, and then we relocated to another nearby test course which was perfectly straight and relatively flat. We all love the first test course since it features a distant curve, some swerving as you drive down the course, plus both positive and negative changes for the elevation angles of the jammers. In other words, the first test course has turned out to be a fairly grueling test course for laser jammers.

Also consider that Rsatmans has become extremely good shooting the laser guns, and he hunts for any weak spots on every vehicle. He can get PTs left and right, yet when I shot one of the guns and aimed as steadily as I could, the car I was shooting was virtually JFG.

The shooter makes a lot of difference in how a particular gun performs in getting PT's. Rsatmans has a great feel for finding the weak points and a steady hand, that makes a deadly combination.

[MEM-TEK]

I agree. Rsatmans has hands which are as steady as a surgeon's hands. Plus he just seems to have a magic knack for shooting lidar guns. I wonder if he dreams about shooting lidar guns...

[speed-dreams]

I agree with steady shooting but 1300 ft is unreal, specially when you can replicate it...

I think every run I had against the UL was greater than 1000' PT's. Every thing else was JTG, JFG. No that I found how much the HID lights help I'll be running with Headlights on all the time.

Rsatmans is insanely good at long distance targeting. He looked like a friggin statue while shooting the laser guns. Heaven forbid that he ever has a stroke while in that position and all his muscles get paralized in that position. Hmm. His neck and head pushed forward, his mouth somewhat open, and his hands obviously wrapped around something...

I dunno but we used the same gun and it was JTG on the cars with M40 and LPP.

Yep. I was shocked to see how much of a difference the HID lights made for the cars which had them. By comparison the halogen headlights seemed to have virtually no effect at all.
