Excise me? I don't think we're close to getting any physical object to travel at the speed of light--let alone bullets. If we could solve this one, space travel would be a cinch. Other than that inconvenient fact, I don't think the speed of our bullets is currently a problem.

Ok you're excised. :)
I didn't make the assertion that bullets would be going the speed of light. I was responding to someone else saying that lasers would be used to push bullets to the speed of light. Why use bullets at all is a question that comes to mind. Why not just make the laser powerful enough to do the damage. This also has the side benefit of avoiding a space/time continium issue that the laser-bullets introduce.
We have the bullets with the speed, we have the bombs with the power.
What we don't have is a command structure to use them. So what good is all this power?/ Sad-ar City comes to mind.
How many American soldiers must we sacrifice because we won't use the tools we have at our command?
You callin' for a zot on your own position? :)
