Ok, who is producing this bullet? Bruce Wayne through Wayne Industries, or Tony Stark for his Iron-Man project? Inquiring minds want to know.

Or do I smell a certain Brit working for her Majesty's secret service? Hmmmm!

Well, it has been in Hollywood use for decades. Ever noticed how the positive character always hits the target without even aiming at it, and (it comes with a smart gun, which must be still classified) never has to reload?

Well, here's an application:

Know how we have a problem with our troops getting fired at by disruptors shielded from within raging mobs? How we have a problem, because once you counter-attack, the bad guys run away, or we end up hitting civilians?

Shoot one of these into one of them, with the thing constantly relaying updated GPS coordinates. When the bad guys rally after the ambush for an after-action report, well, there's where you bring the action to THEM!

Or, just sit back for several hours, and study their habits --your choice.

King also warns that firing a projectile at a potential explosive goes against bomb disposal guidelines.

Gee, I wonder why....

The projectile, created at the University of Florida in Gainesville, US, is 1.7 centimetres in diameter can be fired at from an ordinary paint-ball gun.

That is not a bullet. That is artillery.

You know, I've wondered why there hasn't been a lot of research done to create a "deadly fly" or a fly-sized robot/video camera. God knows a creature as small as a fly could get in to places even flying drones could not.

Perhaps there has been work done on this area...and we just don't know it. :)
