XM25 Air Burst Weapon fires an air-bursting round at a target from 16 to 600 meters away with a highly accurate, 360-degree explosive radius.

Think if the efforts, both financial and intellectual, devoted to finding ever better ways to kill (or 'neutralise', as the phrase goes) people could be devoted to more useful pursuits !...

I like its fancy costume.

Correction XM25 Air Burst Weapon fires an air-bursting round at a target from 0 to 750 meters away with a highly inaccurate, 180-degree explosive radius. 99% of the shrapnel fails to hit a target. Where are you getting your figures, Shane?

I think Shane is getting his mis-information from the same people who like to tell us that wars are for our benefits.
That the Iraqi's had weapons of mass destruction. Plus they didn't kill Kennedy because he wanted to pull out of Vietnam, and that would've cost the arms manufacturers so much in lost revenue.

RF Noise source operating in the area to interfere with the wireless connection and there won't be any bang when it gets to where it's going.

the Republic of Korea\'s Army already developed and deployed an indivisual air burst weapon which can change from K2 automatic 30 rounds from a flick of a switch.
\"The double-barreled K-11 assault rifle lets the shooter fire either NATO 5.56- or 20-millimeter grenades, all off the same trigger. Day and night aiming is accomplished with a thermal target seeker and laser that calculates distance automatically--a true point-and-shoot.\"
i don\'t know a lot about this gun, so if you want more information google \'K11 aussault rifle\'

I worry more about the shoulder-stock interface, the lack of an adjustable length stock, and the recoil.
Ideally there will be golf ball buckshot and flechette rounds for the close fight.

it just needs some kind of umbrella armor to counter this weapon.

Scenario - This gets reasonably widespread adoption in the field. Enemy steals/hacks signal/encryption on the detonation program and constantly broadcasts \"range=0\" all over the battlefield. How many friendlies die before someone gets clued in and they stop using it? Imagine the media feeding frenzy after that.
