THAT’S why I keep missing. Someone is hacking my rounds.

Life imitates art - kinda.

The 1984 Sci-Fi movie "Runaway, with Tom Selleck (good guy) and Gene Simmons (bad guy) featured a gun that fired heat-seeking bullets"

Very interesting, but am wondering how the optical guidance works.

Is it tracking an laser illuminated dot on the target? Or is it “riding the beam” projected by the shooter (or an adjacent spotter)?

Tracking a dot offers some interesting scenarios: a spotter doesn’t have to be anywhere near the shooter. It would be like a terminally-guided artillery shell.

Man, from what I understand, theses days the poor grunts have to account for every round they are issued.

Can you imagine what the paperwork will be for these megabuck rounds?
