An interesting article on the development of guided bullets for snipers.
http://www.marinecorpstimes.com/sto...ke-marine-corps-snipers-more-deadly/21392819/
According to the article: "After successfully test firing a guided .50-caliber round this summer, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency is now conducting "system-level" testing, which will help determine how a guided bullet would work with a service rifle on the battlefield."
I remain skeptical about the performance of this gun system in combat conditions and the wide spread deployment within Infantry units but heck... it appears to be pretty amazing technology.
