Re: Self-steering bullet
I can see it for snipers, but regular soldiers it's pretty impractical.

Re: Self-steering bullet
I seem to recall seeing something similar on Future Weapons several years ago. Either way, that one comment is pure ignorance.
It's a fucking bullet traveling well past the speed of sound and dropping at a rate of 9.8 m/s². It is not an artillery shell. You need a line of sight to hit someone with a bullet, it's not a goddamned magic turn on a dime spacecraft. It will not navigate hallways, it will not snap around corners, it will only bend slightly to be more accurate. Ok, done griping."The public may be uncomfortable with the implications of people being able to use this without needing to have a sight line to the target - you could see this having terrorist uses," said Ms Quintana.
Either way, it'll be a sniper only weapon, IF it works.
