Smart bullets can't miss?

Well, at least that's how it works in theory.

Don't guided missiles get guided from a central location? You know, such as a plane, ship, or stationary building?

I can see this working for hunting or sniping (which is the same basic thing, in practice). Your rifle would need an on-board computer, I would think. For self defense purposes, it would probably take too long to lock onto your target for it to be effective.

After finding out who is leading the team of scientists and engineers, I can't help but wonder if the ammo comes with Kool-Ade.

Depending on who you ask they have been around for a while!

Some people should actually do some research on what they are speaking about if they're going to appear in a large, public forum like that.

I wonder if the laser target designator can be easily spoofed....

What if you were able to combine the magic bullet technology with the newly announced mind-reading device?. That could be really dangerous when that annoying neighbor wanders over into the yard to complain about the weeds.

Jones says it's about halfway through being fully developed for commercial use.

Sweet! So when I can buy one of these at a gun show without a background check?

I have a feeling that it will be years before it has enough kinetic energy to do much damage. Only thirty adjustments per second, flies in circles? I would love to know what the production cost per unit on these "bullets" will be. As a tax payer im sure it would make you sick to your stomach!

I agree. Though it was just a small bullet, we can't miss it. Listen to the sounds.
