True to DARPAs mission, EXACTO has demonstrated what was once thought impossible: the continuous guidance of a small-caliber bullet to target. This live-fire demonstration from a standard rifle showed that EXACTO is able to hit moving and evading targets with extreme accuracy at sniper ranges unachievable with traditional rounds. Fitting EXACTOs guidance capabilities into a small.50-caliber size is a major breakthrough and opens the door to what could be possible in future guided projectiles across all calibers.

I’d be worried that the bullet would somehow misidentify me as a “target” and do a 180!

Awesome, can’t wait for the Klintons or some crony-socialist in the US Government to sell this technology to the Chinese, Iranians and Russians.

Oh No. Giving it to the Iranians is last on the list.
They plan to use this on Evil Christian Conservatives who oppose Queer “marriage” and Pedophile Liberation.

I remember a couple of Loony Tune bullets stopping in flight, consulting with each other, and then zooming on.
