I have never heard of such a bullet. Amazing if it can be accurately predicted and planned for. A bullet like this will be copied immediately, bet on it.

Two possibilities

  1. It's all bs,
  2. It's true, but will require technology that no one bu the government will be able to afford.

And after it is designed, it will only cost $500,000 per cartridge.

It's like the overdesigned/underperforming Shillelagh wire-guided missiles fired from the aluminum-"armored" M551 Sheridan light tank with its 155-mm main gun (the 18-ton tank jumped backwards every time the main gun fired a round of ammunition with its problemmatic semi-combustible cartridge). Designed to allow the gunner to changed the course of the fired missile to stay on a moving target, the Shillelagh missiles, no longer produced, ended up only being fired in combat at immovable bunkers in Desert Storm.
