The “smart round”  XM-25 Individual Airburst Weapon that was once perceived as a James Bond-like fantasy is now ready to be tested in combat. The gun fires a 25-millimeter “smart round” that can be detonated at a pre-programmed distance, spreading shrapnel in all directions. With the smart round, if your enemy happens to run inside, simply program the distance to the window and allow for the bullet to detonate 2 meters inside the room… now that’s impressive.  It uses a rangefinder to figure out how far away a target is, and the operator can manually adjust when the bullet detonates to suit different situations. This allows a soldier to attack entrenched targets around corners and in buildings at a much safer and effective manner.
