Pentagon’s self-guided bullets leave enemies nowhere to hide :huh:

The research arm dedicated to creating breakthrough technology for the Pentagon has shared video of a successful test of self-guided bullets.

The Pentagon's Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency conducted a test April 21 with Teledyne Scientific & Imaging. Video posted to YouTube earlier this month shows a round with a ballistic path far from its intended target. As the round makes its way along the errant trajectory it suddenly curves, corrects itself and hits the intended target.

DARPA had a promising prototype for its Extreme Accuracy Tasked Ordinance (EXACTO) .50-caliber bullets in 2012, but the new video confirms that the agency has perfected the technology.

“The Extreme Accuracy Tasked Ordnance system seeks to improve sniper effectiveness and enhance troop safety by allowing greater shooter standoff range and reduction in target engagement timelines,” DARPA’s website stated.

The new rounds will make American snipers even more efficient, allowing them to acquire moving targets in any environment. A self-guided bullet makes eliminating a target with one shot more likely, which better safeguards the sniper’s exact location.

It's good to know that they are creating more efficient killing maneuvers. While the world rots and degenerates away, making bullets that are "self-guided" sure seems like a good solution I guess...I mean it's not like these guys can find better solutions than killing the crap out of everything eh?

Money is spent to make better ways to kill people...rather than find better ways to extend life and vitality. This tells me that they have only one thing on their mind...extermination by precision strike. Of course they have to tell you how they can kill you if it's outright and obvious, that's the pollite thing to do right?

In an ideal world maybe :mellow:

so on a side note...how many of you who are bitching about this and other stuff are actually donating your personal time money and skills to making the world a better place ..and simply bitching about all the bad stuff like this does not count... actually rolling up your leaves and getting in the trenches counts as doing something...and the good thing is you can do stuff right in your own home town
