A futuristic rifle is ready to change the face of modern warfare by firing radio-controlled "smart bullets."
The miniature missiles fired by the XM25 rifle can be programmed to explode after traveling a certain distance up to their maximum range of 2,300 feet.
A laser rangefinder enables the gun to precisely measure the distance to a target. If it happens to be a wall or tree that a sniper is hiding behind, the gun can tell the 25-mm bullet to detonate next to the obstruction with the force of a hand grenade.
"The enemy has learned to get cover, for hundreds if not thousands of years," say Lt. Col. Christopher Lehner. "Well, they can't do that anymore."
