...and this is a good thing.

Please tell me its a liberal holding a stick of TNT being shot out of a canon, dropped from a plane, or attached to the top of a missile.

Could spin off some good materials engineering advances useful in civilian applications.

this is what I pay my taxes for. Good investment.

[sauropod]

Ping!

Good for when there is a zombie epidemic.

finally! a headline that legitimately begins with boom

[Seruzawa]

Does that mean we are going to finally have hand grenades like we see in the movies? You know, the atomic ones that produce huge balls of flame and make people fly through the air?

[MrEdd]

Deadlier than Tactical Nuclear rounds?
Somehow I seeing this as not news.

[Mastador1]

This might be interesting but I never read anything with a cartoonish headline like BOOM! I guess it just makes me think of Adam West and Batman............and a real lack of imagination.

3-D Printer Ping!

The army does not invent anything. They just send ridiculous specs to their vendors. The vendors do all the inventing. And all their inventions have huge price tags.

[Pearls Before Swine]

I’m wondering... doesn’t a long range round like this depend on our satellize and battlefield electronics planes for accurate spotting, so it can be delivered where its needed?

To those who know, and can talk a little from their vantagepoint, how dependent is precision weaponry on global electronic information, and how vulnerable is that? I’m thinking about the recent news that the Russians have satellites in tracking orbits behind some of our satellites. Does ASAT warfare negate the advantage here?

[SuperLuminal]

According to the weapons experts in the gun-control movement, both the AR-15 and AR-50 already have all these capabilities... However, the AR-50 has the additional capability for satellite destruction...

The Army says the super-long-range cannon could help engage targets deep inside hostile territory and blow apart an opponent's defenses.

Does it come in a .44 round?

[nascarnation]

Can we do the validation testing in N. Korea?

[IndispensableDestiny]

I love the idea of directed fragmentation. The XM907 58 Caliber (9.0 meters) cannon is a beast. Doubles the range over the current 39 Caliber gun tube.

[minnesota_bound]

This is unfair to our enemies.... sayeth the liberals,

[Redleg Duke]

Oh,yeah!
