It's my understanding that military operations were randomly generated and that the operations commander (or president) chose from a short list of choices. For operational security. George Bush changed that because, well, George Bush and politics becoming more important than OPSEC.

The layout of the gun doesn't make a sandbag as stable as it should be. Would need more sandbags to stabilize it properly or, as you suggest, a lead sled.

My thinking is that if that was as clever a plan as suggested, he would have better than Fetterman backing it.
