Just in time for Christmas, the U.S. Army has a new present for soldiers battling a fierce insurgency in Afghanistan.
After more than five years of development, American forces are using the XM25 Counter Defilade Target Engagement System, a pinpoint accurate and programmable grenade launcher that the military expects to be a "game changer" in its counterinsurgency operations in Afghanistan.
The ultra-lethal XM25, which looks like something out of a James Cameron sci-fi flick, is a "smart" grenade launcher that carries four small warheads and features an array of sights, sensors, lasers and a short barrel the size of a small cannon.
Limiting collateral damage as well. Other cool stuff in the works to protect our guys from IEDs on the road--a flying humvee:) What would Q say.
