“True to DARPA’s mission, EXACTO has demonstrated what was once thought impossible: the continuous guidance of a small-caliber bullet to target. This live-fire demonstration from a standard rifle showed that EXACTO is able to hit moving and evading targets with extreme accuracy at sniper ranges unachievable with traditional rounds. Fitting EXACTO’s guidance capabilities into a small.50-caliber size is a major breakthrough and opens the door to what could be possible in future guided projectiles across all calibers.”

Oh No. Giving it to the Iranians is last on the list.

They plan to use this on Evil Christian Conservatives who oppose Queer “marriage” and Pedophile Liberation.

I remember a couple of Loony Tune bullets stopping in flight, consulting with each other, and then zooming on.
