The XM-25, Counter Defilade Target Engagement System with 25mm rounds, is semi-automatic, and includes fully integrated day/night, full-solution target acquisition/fire control. Soldiers in the field have given it the nickname “The Punisher.”
...
In one engagement, an enemy machine gunner was “so badly wounded or so freaking scared that he dropped [his] weapon” and ran, said Lt. Col. Christopher Lehner, Program Manager Individual WeaponsThere were no casualties among units carrying the XM25 in those nine engagements, Lehner said.
“No longer can the enemy shoot at American forces, then hide behind something,” said Brig. Gen. Peter Fuller of Program Executive Office Soldier. “This is a revolutionary weapon. This is a game-changer.”

Great way to start the morning news! 25millimikes.. wow. Good news for us. Unfortunately, they will resort to hiding behind civilians if walls won’t work.

Lehner said the tests revealed only one problem: The units didn’t want to give the Punisher back.”

That would be some mighty fine Goblin medicine. But even if you could get one, those exploding rounds are individually taxed at $200 a pop. That can get expensive real quick.
