[edit] Firing Position

Why no mention of the sighting/guidance mechanics of the weapon, and why did the firer had to remain in a sitting position while the missile was in flight? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 192.91.171.42 (talk) 20:43, 8 March 2007 (UTC).

the missile goes where the sight is pointed. If you stand up this would move the sightpicture

[edit] Crew

Should this be modified? It only took one individual to fire the weapon, but in my experience at least, the typical Dragon team was made up of two individuals, a gunner and an assistant gunner (not unlike a machine gun crew). Ideally, the assistant gunner would provide covering fire for the exposed Dragon gunner, or utilize small arms fire to keep the tank buttoned up until impact. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bernie Brown (talk • contribs) 21:56, 8 February 2008 (UTC)
