    Hmmm, saw something similar in a Tom Selleck movie called "Runaway"

    Gene Simmons was the bad guy with a gun that fired "smart bullets", but his were so smart they would turn corners and go over/under things to hit the intended target.

    I have to agree with this comment from another site.

    "This will make it easier to refresh the tree of liberty with the blood of patriots, because only the tyrants can afford this ammo (using the patriots' tax money).! I am just thrilled to think that we maybe at the cusp of societal collapse, and the government is developing such wonderful stuff with which to kill us."

    Wow, just wow
    Although always described as a cowboy, Roswellnative generally acts as a righter of wrongs or bodyguard of some sort, where he excels thanks to his resourcefulness and incredible gun prowesses.

    Wiley Coyote used ACME guided bullets for years. He still never got the Road Runner!
