Leg and I both served in the Army Reserve (and Leg in the regular Australian Army as well) and both fired LAWs. I'm sure he's well aware of the Back Blast Danger Area. I don't agree with Leg's characterisation of high endurance USCG cutters as being "little more than glorified armed fishing boats". I also suspect that (as has been intimated by previous posters) USCG vessels would be up-gunned once the USCG was brought into the fold of the USN during the Twilight War.
