New Technological Developments, as predicted by Michael Crichton.

As featured at Instapundit. Rifles with "smart" bullets that can chase down their targets and blow them up. Blows 'em up REAL GOOD. Allegedly*.

When contacted about this story, Gene Simmons replied "Not only did I nail 10,000 women during my career, but I was out there playing with cutting edge technology 25 years before the rest of those pointy-headed geeks even figured out how to make it work outside their wildest fantasies."

* (I'm torn. Yeah, I love technology as much as the next geek does; however, "Murphy's Law" would dictate that this ammunition will either

A.) prove to be just more "magic beans", like cold fusion in a jar, interactive holographic technology & realistic sex robots.
B.) be extremely susceptible to environmental conditions and require that our soldiers sally forth on their missions from "clean rooms".
C.) be so expensive as to make it an impractical wonder-weapon that just barely outperforms a $1 per pop 173 grain full metal jacket 7.62x51 sniper round.
or
D.) become self-aware immediately after going on line and conspire to kill all humanity and take its place as the dominant life form on the planet.

I'll stick with dumb bullets and smart shooters, thankyouverymuch.)

1 I'm with you on this one Russ I just don't think smart bullets are all that good of an idea.

Posted by: Tee866 at June 08, 2009 07:41 PM (Vti3Z)

2 From what I understand this round wouldn't see very wide deployment.  The idea is to be able to get those ultra long shots you just couldn't do with inert lead.

We're Americans, dammit, and we're not gonna let the Canucks keep the longest-confirmed-kill (1.51 miles) record.  It's a matter of national urgency.

5 Hmm, looking at it, I think It's a winner. Seems like it will be very expensive, but maybe not to much, I mean a magnet + a chip seems like a low price point to get out tough nut(s) in a hard place. Now, if this bullet was more like that one horror flix (The one where it drills out peoples heads? what was that called? Something witha P?) THEN id worry about it becoming self aware.

6 Waaaaaitaminute.  This isn't what I thought it was.  The article is about the XM-25, which ain't no rifle at all.  It's the new programmable-fuze grenade launcher.  And the author doesn't seem to know the difference.

Those grenade launcher is the real deal.  Ace posted on it a few years ago.  Someone else did recently.

11

Not a bullet, but a ball maybe?  Are you thinking "Phantasm", sithson?

OK, so you've got a magnet & a chip?  What can they do?  The magnet can (allegedly) measure the distance traveled by the bullet (not figuring in wind resistance & rifling wear in the barrel), and the chip can carry rudimentary programming.  How do you deflect the path of the bullet?  Fins?  Jets?  Fins will not allow quick turns at high speed, and jets will cause the bullet to destabilize as well as add a horrible amount of weight that will be damn hard to enigineer into the bullet & leave room for a significant amount of explosive payload. 

 By the time you add in all the bells & whistles on this baby, you've probably got a round about the size of a main gun round on an M1 Abrams tank.  Instead of engineering a bullet that goes AROUND obstacles, why not just harden the projectile and get the bullet to go THROUGH the obstacle and into the goblin hiding on the other side?

Posted by: Russ from Winterset at June 08, 2009 07:53 PM (/MEFr)

12 I personally don't see what the problem is.  I think it's a swell idea.

Posted by: Skynet at June 08, 2009 07:53 PM (MRPrb)

13 I remember reading a story by Vernor Vinge back in the early 80's that had guns with smart bullets. Each bullet had mini cameras built-in and could communicate with other bullets to choose choose targets while in flight. So an 8 round burst could result in 8 targets hit. Amazingly just 25 years later we getting awfully close to what he imagined.

14 #11 Russ. YES! thats the movie! My brain did a total fart on that horrible B movie, but damn that little ball remined me of this sorta. Now that would be some killer (no pun, well okay yes it was intended) milliltary tech.

25mm is approximately 1.00 caliper or about a < 1 inch bullet.

That is certianly going to strain the ammunition factories already under pressure.

19 D.) become self-aware immediately after going on line and conspire to kill all humanity and take its place as the dominant life form on the planet.

You know, I always liked the Terminator movies and thought their basic premise was pretty cool.

Then I realized that instead of sending Terminators back in time to hunt all over Los Angeles for Sarah and John Connor, all Skynet had to do was send back a nuke and detonate it right over Los Angeles to accomplish the same end in a fail-safe way.

I shall spend days in mourning.

  But by detonating said nuke over Southern California, wouldn't they also destroy the DARPA facility where Skynet itself was developed, altering the timeline and preventing Skynet from going on line in the first place?  No, they needed to surgically target the Connors in order to protect the integrity of the timeline.

21 This looks like a last-chance PR screech to save what's left of a Future Soldier program that's been knocking around since mid-Clinton.

This, and the programmable high-speed grenade launcher, were the reason WJC sent his undersecretary of the army up the hill to testify before Congress that the US military no longer had need of riflemen, which became the excuse for doing away with the Civilian Marksmanship Program, crushing all surplus military rifles, and banning possession of military firearms. We managed to get most of that back.

For those who've never read a Popular Science cover story before, giant cargo-bearing Zeppelins are about to offer world luxury cruises, you'll soon do 120 MPH on electrically-embedded highways of the future while enjoying fruit juice from on-board chillers, and there is a national shortage of bandsaw-qualified meat cutters. Now about that water-burning carburetor...

25 The author's clueless. It's a smart-grenade launcher that was spun off from the late, lamented XM-8 system. You can program the grenades to go off at a point in space that will cause it to explode down onto somebody behind cover, thus saving having to call for an airstrike. It's NOT a smart bullet.

Posted by: Dan F at June 08, 2009 08:21 PM (79OIm)

27 Well, to be accurate, both the XM-8 and the XM-25 were spun off from the OICW project, but the rest stands.

Posted by: joncelli at June 08, 2009 08:25 PM (vPMF5)

28 Dan F., be careful if you go to load that commission rifle. The definition of "8mm" changed after its design. It was built to handle smokeless powder, but the modern 8mm cartridge is a few ten-thousandths tighter in the chamber, producing significantly higher initial pressure. If you don't use antique-gauged cartridges, the rifle will explode in your face.

Other than that, yeah, a thousand-yard rifle, and the only slightly newer Mauser is even better, and still state-of-art today. "Three on a match."

It has the Spitzer barrel and it accepts the .323" round.  I'm sending it to a gunsmith for some more tweaks.  I was just making the point that old shit still works well.  I have a 98K, a shit load of pistols etc.

I like old bolt action rifles though.

This us a low-velocity version of the 25 mm airburst munition for the Advanced Crew Served Weapon; the ACSW was canceled a couple of years ago. Same projectile, but with recoil that's tolerable in a small arm. No guidance of the projectile - has a laser rangefinder on the weapon and a "smart fuze" airburst device in the grenade that communicates with the rangefinder at the moment of firing.

Nice presentation on the grenade development, pdf format:

http://tinyurl.com/nvdy5j

Highlights:

Page 6: Image 1: Without the airburst system. Enemy soldiers relaxing in crater in impudent safety, remembering the time and fantasizing rudely about American women. A couple of the creeps have stepped up the rim of the crater to pop off a few rounds at our boys and yell "ha ha GI you die then I get college education in USA on your tax money ha ha fat ass GI" etc., pretty standard stuff.

Page 6, Image 2: With the airburst system. The rounds burst directly over the crater, making a hash of the rabble within.

Page 16: High-speed photographs of fragmentation pattern of a grenade. Must be about a thousand little bits of steel traveling out in a ghostly double-mushroom pattern.

40 Sorry but 25mm is a fucking grenade launcher, not a 'bullet'.  But hey, when did some dweeb from the press know what they were talking about when it came to 'guns'.  And I can guarantee that it's going to be one fucking expensive grenade.

Its a HIGHLY sexed up grenade launcher, with 25mm rounds that can be programmed to detonate at a range pre-determined by the gunner.  The idea is small scale precision strike capability.  The rounds are intended to cost no more than $25 once this thing goes into production.  This way, you can take out a Jihadi hiding behind a window or on a roof without damaging too much around him and without using an expensive missile or bomb. 

Don't think terminator, think "Judge Dredd" with his programmable gun.

43 Don't think terminator, think "Judge Dredd" with his programmable gun.

Meh.  Think math and how much less explosive will be in a 25mm grenade than a 40mm grenade.  If you don't place this thing right up the bad guy's squeekhole he ain't gonna die, especially if he's wearing body armor.  Originally this thing was supposed to be 20mm and they added that extra 5mm in case you might want to kill something bigger'n cockroaches.

Sorry, but I dont think that metric Scandi rounds like the " 7.62x51 " and  " sniper round " should ever be in a sentence so close together.  They wish!

It is the .308 Winchester that will always be the superior one, shot.

They actually showed this gun on one of those weapon shows on Discovery a year or so ago (Future Weapons I think).  Gun fires an exploding round, like a mini-RPG.  Rifle has a laser range finder that gets a distance to the cover that the target is using, and this distance is used to determine the amount of time the round travels before exploding.  Then just aim a little bit above the top of the cover (or through the window) and shoot.

The technology used for this isn't new at all.  The only thing new is how small it is.  This used to only exist with artillery rounds.

Posted by: Brian at June 09, 2009 10:02 AM (BuYeH)

48 With the advances being made regarding smart matter, a small caliber smart round sounds feasible.

49 Happy was alive, a brave move, can not lose confidence, as long as you do, and always have their own world, not to give up, never give up. At the same time, good people will give others encouragement to others filling in when others need help, help others. When a friend's success in the blessings of friends, there is no jealousy, not to harbor bitter resentment, remember everyone is in fact very good. Let us work together to have a better world.
