Well said Brian....Making or issuing (non-lethal rounds) makes as much sense as 
NATO and the U.S. not using NAPALM or deciding .50 cal long rifles firing at 
anything other then a engine blocks is illegal....

Now I am pretty sure sniper teams are not following the "only engine blocks" 
rule but was very surprised we have agreed to remove NAPALM from our war 
arsenal.  But it makes as much sense as anything else the Washington desk 
commandos decide.

As nice as the idea is…. This is better to be deployed in crew fashion meaning 
you better have somebody covering fire for you to take the time to program the 
round. This appeared a couple of years ago on a show that may or may not come on 
anymore “Future Weapons” which I haven’t seen in a while. Too wrapped up in 
other things I guess… I don’t like the fact they want to produce less than 
lethal ammo though, kind of defeats the purpose. I know some would believe this 
would be handy to capture intelligence by letting the bastards live. I say you 
just don’t shoot the last one until you have your intel….

No hiding place from new U.S. Army rifles...
By Daily Mail Reporter at dailymail.co.uk ��Tuesday, November 30, 2010
������� Weapon hailed as a game-changer that can fire up and over barriers and 
down into trenches
������� Soldiers will start using them in Afghanistan later this month
The U.S. army is to begin using a futuristic rifle that fires radio-controlled 
'smart' bullets in Afghanistan for the first time, it has emerged. The XM25 
rifle uses bullets that be programmed to explode when they have travelled a set 
distance, allowing enemies to be targeted no matter where they are hiding. 
The rifle also has a range of 2,300 feet making it possible to hit target which 
are well out of the reach of conventional rifles. (700 + �yards) The XM25 is 
being developed specially for the U.S. army and will be deployed with troops 
from later this month, it was revealed today.

The XM25 Counter Defilade Target Engagement System has a range of roughly 2,300 
feet - and is to be deployed in Afghanistan this month
The rifle's gunsight uses a laser rangefinder to determine the exact distance to 
the obstruction, after which the soldier can add or subtract up to 3 metres from 
that distance to enable the bullets to clear the barrier and explode above or 
beside the target.Soldiers will be able to use them to target snipers hidden in 
trenches rather than calling in air strikes.The 25-millimetre round contains a 
chip that receives a radio signal from the gunsight as to the precise distance 
to the target. 
Lt. Col. Christopher Lehner, project manager for the system, described the 
weapon as a �game-changer�that other nations will try and copy.He expects the 
Army to buy 12,500 of the XM25 rifles this year, enough for every member of the 
infantry and special forces. Lehner told FoxNews: �With this weapon system, we 
take away cover from [enemy targets] forever.��Tactics are going to have to be 
rewritten. The only thing we can see [enemies] being able to do is run away.�

Experts say the rifle means that enemy troops will no longer be safe if they 
take cover
The XM25 appears perfect weapon for street-to-street fighting that troops in 
Afghanistan have to engage in, 
with enemy fighters hiding behind walls and only breaking cover to fire 
ocasionally.

The weapon's laser finder would work out how far away the enemy was and then the 
U.S. soldier would add one 
metre using a button near the trigger. When fired, the explosive round would 
carry exactly one metre past the wall and explode with the force of a hand 
grenade above the Taliban fighter.The army's project manager for new weapons, 
Douglas Tamilio, said: ''This is the first leap-ahead technology for troops that 
we've been able to develop and deploy.'A patent granted to the bullet's maker, 
AlliantTechsystems, reveals that the chip can calculate how far it has 
travelled.Mr Tamilio said: 'You could shoot a Javelin missile, and it would cost 
�43,000. These rounds will end up costing �15.50 apiece. They're relatively 
cheap.Lehner added: �This is a game-changer. The enemy has learned to get cover, 
for hundreds if not thousands of years. �Well, they can't do that anymore. We're 
taking that cover from them and there's only two outcomes: We're going to get 
you behind that cover or force you to flee.�
The rifle will initially use high-explosive rounds, but its makers say that it 
might later use versions with smaller explosive charges that aim to stun rather 
than kill.

One of the revolutionary bullets which can be pre-programmed to explode to hit 
troops that are hiding
