The Millitary's Deadliest Weapon yet.

"Kaching" Boom!, whats that i hear? oh its a weapon, hello readers, today you'll learn about the US army's deadliest hand weapon to date. the XM25 . *pauses for dramatic effect*anyway its a grenade launcher that has been developed by heckler&koch yes grenade launcher,
You must be wondering, pah another grenade launcher, what's good about that?. well read this

"The xm25 can fire 25mm rounds that explode at any distance set by the soldier, killing people protected behind walls or trenches. "
well if that's not a weapon of mass destruction, i dont know what is.

Anyways, what else can this WMD do? well here's the list

• Imagine there is an enemy sniper hiding behind a window in a building.
• The soldier points the weapon to the building's façade, measuring the distance.
• Using two buttons on the front handle, he would then add whatever distance he estimates is the correct one to get the 25mm round through the window and into the room, near the enemy.
• Then he would fire. The smart round knows where it is at all times thanks to its built-in circuitry.
• When the round reaches the distance set by the soldier, it would explode, killing the enemy with a fragmentation warhead. The round doesn't really have to be very near the enemy. Its blast radius is equivalent to a hand grenade, so these things are extremely dangerous, and almost impossible to survive.

How awesome is that? i wouldnt want to be the enemy !

anyways, this weapon is a reality or will be a reality in the afghanisian war and will be used by the green berets sooner or later, wheather it will save more lives or destroy more lives, i dont know but one thing's for sure, this weapon is sure gona put a new spin into the war.
