I didn't even know what an XM-25 was. I had to look it up.

On a brighter note, I now know what I want Santa to leave in my stocking this Christmas.

It's not that kind of smart. Actually it is not a smart weapon at all, the rounds are not guided. All it is is a ballistics computer used with the laser range finder, that sets the distance the round must travel before going boom. So basicly its a more accurate and precise flak gun.

It basically will act as a personal portable small mortar. As I heard it described that it can have the same effect as a small mortar without all the pesky set up and trajectory calculations.

Now they dont go off lobbing mortar rounds into 'friendly' crowds willy nilly. I would think they would show the same disgression with this weapon.

Of course stuff happens and the nay sayers will be all up in arms crying and doing their damdest to get this deterrent out of our soldiers hands asap.
