The U.S. Military's Ultimate Sniper: Armed with Laser-Guided Bullets

Exact specifications are classified—range, maximum crosswinds and how slow a target must be moving. However, DARPA did reveal that it’s looking for a bullet that has the same energy and momentum as current M33 .50-caliber rounds at all ranges greater than 300 meters.

The Pentagon’s fringe-science Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency has just released a video of its Extreme Accuracy Tasked Ordnance, or EXACTO, in action.

The video depicts a target … and  another aim point a couple feet to the right. The EXACTO bullet arcs toward the second aim point.
