    It looks more missile that bullet, and may cost about the same too heh. Impressive however.

    This is a mini excaliber (xm982) round. Far from a missile, as it is a guided projectile. It's beautiful, but the system behind it is probably going to cost too much to mass produce.

    A self-guided 50 cal round used for human sized targets? Sounds like it would be like using a 30-6 for squirrel hunting.

    I don't see the problem with that. .22 lr is way underkill when you have the appropriate size weapon to take on anything from a mile away.

    I think their context is off though. Taking bets it's not self-guided and it's using visual input from the camera that took the video. Sort of like a third party lazing a target.
