Weapons: XM-25 Is Readied For Prime Time
Army Testing XM-25 'Smart' Weapon
Sorry, this is the best video I could find: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Wodnc-_ilA
Last week I read an Army study someplace that said we had pretty much maxed out the potential of firearms, and that improvements could only be made at the margins from here on out. Even perfecting caseless ammo would only give you so much of an advantage over a guy with an AK-47. The study went on to say that sabot ammo was worth developing, but that big improvements to guns would only come if we could perfect timed explosive rounds, which the XM-25 shoots.
