....the shoot through shield and the guidable bullets are both in Resistance Fall of Man, I'll bet there's loads of other projects that just happen to also be in games]]>Jul 2nd 2007 4:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/02/darpa-funds-laser-guided-bullets/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/02/darpa-funds-laser-guided-bullets/Jul 2nd 2007 4:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/02/darpa-funds-laser-guided-bullets/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/02/darpa-funds-laser-guided-bullets/

Except for the cost an ion cannon would be a "wonderful" weapon. Nowhere to hide, no way to escape. Now all we need is an evil mastermind that gives the world a great reason to develop such a weapon...]]>Jul 2nd 2007 6:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/02/darpa-funds-laser-guided-bullets/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/02/darpa-funds-laser-guided-bullets/Jul 3rd 2007 2:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/02/darpa-funds-laser-guided-bullets/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/02/darpa-funds-laser-guided-bullets/

Remember the OICW and how it has airburst grenades which detonate via rangefinding lasers and computer wound fuses? Well science can come up with some pretty interesting stuff.

Off course, I don't think many politicians would be safe from a weapon like this. If a bullet can change course in mid flight, it can basicaly make its way around barriers.


Don't count them out yet.
If I had a cartridge the size of a shotgun shell, fired from a large caliber rifle, you could concievably equipt that slug with a computer chip and some sort of accelerant (gunpowder) togive it a REACTION CONTROL SYSTEM.

YES IT IS POSSIBLE.

movies and wasted spending aside i think what they need to be doing is focusing on making the soldiers more efficient killers.. if your common private had the training of an army ranger he/she wouldn't need laser guided bullets, he/she would be a laser guided bullet. ]]>Jul 3rd 2007 6:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/02/darpa-funds-laser-guided-bullets/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/02/darpa-funds-laser-guided-bullets/
