Judge Dredd rifle?

This means that a soldier aiming at a corner around which an enemy lurks can ping the corner with his rangefinder and use a button on the trigger guard to adjust for a slightly longer range. The crosshairs in the sight adjust his elevation, compensating automatically not only for range but temperature and air pressure.

As the soldier squeezes the trigger, the time fuse in the grenade-bullet is set and the round flies out on a precise trajectory towards a point just beyond the corner, where it explodes in midair spraying lethal shrapnel into the hidden enemy.

I believe truth and principle do matter. If you have to sacrifice them to get the results you want, then the results aren't worth it.

Seen this years ago, was interesting then.  Glad to see they might actually bring out a whole new concept of battle to the real world instead of the lab.  If works as planned it will really help in the fights we are in.  Heavy mortar of the buildings we have been fighting in stop bullets, but going around it would be awesome.
