Remember the "Dum Dum" bullets from Roger Rabbit that could fly around corners? It seems that the real thing (except without the jokes) is coming to pass:
It would be hard to describe a bullet as smart, but what if that bullet was laser-guided, radio-controlled, and carried an onboard targeting CPU? The US Army has announced the creation of the XM25 rifle, which can fire a new type of explosive round that fit that exact description. Imagine the implications: hitting targets inside buildings or hiding around walls. Whoa.
