- whoreable, on 11/27/2008, -2/+65WTF HAX

- doiveo, on 11/26/2008, -1/+47I get in trouble when I use auto-aim mods.
- twoheadedboy00, on 11/26/2008, -8/+33This way I won't miss when I spray on your mother.
- madfrogurt, on 11/28/2008, -1/+24Oh those clever acronyms that get stupid projects funding.
- inactive, on 11/28/2008, -4/+21Wanted was a ***** ass movie
- Junior612, on 11/28/2008, -3/+18America... ***** YEAH
- replaysMike, on 11/28/2008, -6/+20Throwing money at it doesn't just make it happen. It's amazing how much money is spent figuring out better ways to kill people. Why not throw that money at some real problems we have here right at home?
- mazurkfsflip8, on 11/28/2008, -0/+14$22 million huh? sounds cheap.
Whenever i read of such gov. funded projects they usually run in the hundreds of millions. - lopla, on 11/28/2008, -1/+11Why not just build a Phased-plasma rifle in the forty watt range?
- metaliq, on 11/28/2008, -0/+8That's communist though.
- pagit, on 11/28/2008, -0/+7boom !
head shot ! - inactive, on 11/28/2008, -2/+8Hey, just what you see pal.
- sp89, on 11/28/2008, -3/+9Yay for more spending!!!
- Junior612, on 11/28/2008, -0/+6They make stuff for bad dicks.
- oxdeltaxo, on 11/27/2008, -0/+6zorg oldies but goldies!
Weapons you can rely on....till he blows them up for shody work. - seltaeb4, on 11/28/2008, -0/+6Our tax money.
- Denominator88, on 11/28/2008, -0/+6This is going to ruin future first-person shooters. Aimbots in RL.
- dustbowl, on 11/28/2008, -1/+6Its quite obvious DoD has it all backwards. Don't they know that Angelina Jolie, Morgan Freeman et al. demonstrated this type of technology already in the movie Wanted? The movie is so advanced they can make a bullet go around a room and kill 7 people before it stops. oops, (spoiler alert!)
The next generation of technology the DoD should look at is to incorporate the use of DNA with bullets, where the bullet is laced with the target's DNA and the bullet can only kill that specific person. No collateral damage! Bin Laden watch out, they be comin after those curly hairs of yours... - totosushi, on 11/28/2008, -2/+7"I want you to curve the potential of this movie."
- thcobbs, on 11/28/2008, -0/+5Wow... you really are stupid.
- adiyo011, on 11/28/2008, -0/+5$2 million was spent on researching the name.
- DirtyVicar, on 11/28/2008, -0/+5So how long until the National Guard gets these and one gets fired into my ass?
- inactive, on 11/28/2008, -1/+6Fail. I hate it when people think up the acronym first and then fit in the words to make it work.
EXACTO: EXtreme ACcuracy Tasked Ordinance... Tasked?? As opposed to what? Lazy ordinance? Entertaining ordnance? Bored ordinance? And since when are we counting the first two letters of the first two words to make an acronym?
I haven't seen an acronym this bad since HELP (Heat Escape Lessening Position) for people stranded in open water for extended periods. - inactive, on 11/28/2008, -1/+6*day
Ass. - acrodev, on 11/27/2008, -1/+5Come on - pay homage where due - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7d6Djog2B-c (maybe NSFW if you think Kirstie Alley in a bra is too much)
- graemee, on 11/28/2008, -1/+5The enemy will just install Punkbuster, at least until the next aimbot update.
- TitanX13, on 11/28/2008, -0/+4these rounds are made for snipers. when a target must be hit. no exceptions. imagine in you got the head of terrorist orgainzation in your sights and you get one shot. also sense its going to be a cold bore shot it will be increasingly more difficult and less likely to hit the target
- Nintendesert, on 11/28/2008, -0/+3Right. Because all those don't receive tens of billions of dollars in funding already.
- metaliq, on 11/28/2008, -0/+3"Now, I don't know about you, but I certainly feel much better about my future and the future of this country when I know I'm being protected by guided bullets."
hahaha.
I'm comfortable with nukes. - darkane, on 11/28/2008, -0/+3$1000 for five cents worth of materials? That's some serious markup. Sounds like a good company to invest in.
And in case you were wondering, yes, I think you're an idiot. - Neworab, on 11/28/2008, -3/+6noob
- darkane, on 11/28/2008, -0/+3@sarcasm Apparently you're the one that didn't read the article. Electronics is an option, along with "... fin-stabilized projectiles, spin-stabilized projectiles ..." Neither of which would require anything more than some clever engineering and minor manufacturing modifications.
Not to mention the fact that your precious little iPhone costs $170 to make, which not only contains technologies that would be used in a guided projectile (GPS, for one), but also a significant amount of materials and technology that wouldn't be.
So congratulations to you, sarcasm. You made yourself look like an idiot while trying to defend an idiot. - inactive, on 11/26/2008, -3/+6oooh noes
- thcobbs, on 11/28/2008, -0/+3Nope... because after the third(likely the first) shot, your position is compromised and you become a target. This is for snipers, not machine gun kelly.
- LocalDocal, on 11/28/2008, -0/+3Do the math. If two groups of soldiers are situation in a place and shooting at each other, how many of those bullets do you think will hit a wall, the ground, or something other than the target? Furthermore, in military conflicts, time is essential, so being able to kill your opponent as quickly as possible is an enormous advantage.
It is far, far more strategic to be able to kill your target using a few guided bullets than to have a drawn out fight with hundreds of regular bullets. - inactive, on 11/28/2008, -0/+3Gun control means being able to hit your target.
- sooska, on 11/28/2008, -0/+3"EXACTO" Bullets? I've been using the knives for years now
- warsongs7, on 11/28/2008, -0/+3I think sometimes they invent new words just so they can have an eye catching acronym.
- halo3d, on 11/28/2008, -0/+2army needs an aimbot now haha
- geodebug, on 11/28/2008, -1/+3EXACTO-mundo - When you absolutely, positively, have to kill every single fonzie in the room. Accept no substitute.
- dbzssj44676, on 11/28/2008, -0/+2No Skill!
- jlphares, on 11/28/2008, -0/+2Great just wait till Skynet gets these...
- OBKenobi, on 11/28/2008, -0/+2That's how much it will cost by the time the project is finished; a decade behind schedule.
- BoneheadFarker, on 11/28/2008, -0/+2Nothing. But they do drop acid. Reeeeeeeeally good acid...
- thcobbs, on 11/28/2008, -0/+2"Why not? In a perfect world you could do this with normal bullets by firing them straight up. "
Umm... no, the earth will rotate underneath the bullet, so even then it couldn't return to its point of origin.
"However, as evidenced by the thousands that have thrown those big foam gliders only to have then loop around and nail them in the ass"
Bullets don't generate lift... they are designed specifically NOT do do that... also, it would negate the advantage that rifling provides by spinning the bullet. - Dustyb, on 11/28/2008, -0/+2You think they just shred that money? That goes to a research firm which in turn hires more people which = more taxes because that's more people working.
- soupwithafork, on 11/28/2008, -1/+3I wonder what would happen if all that money went into cancer research, AIDs research, environmental initiatives, or education.
Oh well! Guns it is. -
