As I said before, sort of, Sandia is microfins/vanes and will interfere with the other stuff I want in my magic bullet, like the spin which will provide clock and also power for computation.
Basically, I want long-range fire-and-forget from a rifle that is outwardly just another sporting rifle, maybe even a simgleshot.
Lift vector modulation sounds promising.
Anyway: what I’m after is the technology for a militia. And not just this thing.
It should be items and concepts that the government (any government) does not have, let’s say a lead of 10-20 years. That, gentlemen, is way easier than it sounds. One of the H&K specialty items is almost certainly mine, grabbed by our verson of DARPA many years ago when I was required by law to let them have first look. But we have some of the smartest ppl I know, right here on FR. We can probably outrun what the establishment has become.
How about a traditional muzzleloader that looks innocent but is able to take out an office building? Way easy.
Micromachining was mentioned here, would that be a track for 3d-printing?

***Firing a small battery as part of the terminal mass on target will give you power and with a 555 timer, a clock. Once you free yourself from rifled barrels, you could further disguise your prize by having it not even look like “just another sporting rifle” in the first place, by screwing in the barrel at the last moment you intend to use it. To further the disguise you could add plastic to the outside and make it look like a camera, or a wok, or a radio or whatever — rather than looking like a sporting rifle is still going to draw attention to you. Why are you limiting yourself to 7.62? Basically you need more room for whatever electronics and magic you want to add, which is why the DARPA project is going for .50 caliber.
