Cut content The subject of this article, LP7, has been cut from the final version of a Battlefield game. |

The LP7's texture sheet.
— In-game description
The LP7 (also referred to as "SIMRAD", "L1-NU5", and "laserpainter") was likely a cut gadget which can be found within the Battlefield 2 game files. It seems to be similar to binoculars in design, but as it is referred to as "laserpainter" several times, was likely used in a similar method to the binoculars found in Battlefield: Bad Company. According to the game files, the LP7 was to be issued to the specops kit, as the specops kit's file states rem ObjectTemplate.addTemplate SIMRAD
.
but the LP7 itself does not make any appearance in-game, as the rem
at the beginning of a sentence makes it invalid. It's usage is confirmed by the statement in the AI file for the kits, which states rem Attack unit with laser targetting and scope
, even though no such laser targeting mechanism exists in-game. Its intention was to transmit the coordinates of the target to friendly aircraft.
It was an almost entirely complete device, with its own tutorial pop-up (including voice-over), icons, textures, and animations, hinting that it was removed just before release.
