Yes, I'd love to go on one of these!
http://armedforcesjournal.com/blackwater/?s=2003_videos

Both these links take you to the Armed Forces Journal "Shoot-out at Blackwater" pages. The first is 2003, the second is 2005, and 2004 is pretty interesting, too.
You can watch some cracking video clips, showcasing some of the best new ideas coming from the US arm's trade. One of the designs I came up with ten years ago is shown in 2005, and there are lots of other ones that we could use in our ideas. The videos of the capabilities of the latest bulletproof glasses is interesting, as are things like the 37,000 pound (weight) guard hut with 5" thick reinforced walls that they proceed to shoot a whole lot with various weapons systems to little effect.
The 76mm high impulse launcher is quite fun, as is the 850 round "burst" from a fairly standard looking M60, which presumably has a ceramic barrel of some form.
If you are on broadband, have a gander. If not (due to BT screwing with your connection) impress on a friend!
http://armedforcesjournal.com/blackwater/index.php?s=2003_side1 is probably the best explanation/introduction to it.
