The bigger question is why would you want to guide a 76mm round. That is a lot of expense for not a whole lot of hitting power. A 155 can smash a bunker or a tank so being able to put them exactly where you want them is worth the expense. But 76mm is going to bounce off a modern tank. And any sort of reinforced bunker is going shrug them off as well. Then you take out most of the explosives in the 76mm to fit in the electronics needed for guidance and you have a very expensive truck buster.

If your bullet costs more than the target you are waging economic warfare against yourself every time you pull the trigger.

because targets include assault speedboats and jihad cabin cruisers, helos, and subs shoing only a periscope.

when the frigate is attacked by a swarm of speedboats
you want one round one kill and over to the next target, in double quick time.

This is perfect for me. I live on a lake. Can’t stand it when dummy boaters make waves too close to my dock - jostles my boats. My 50cal is just not dramatic enough so I’ll wait for these to show up in CheaperThanDirt.
