So dangerous and menacing that they could include them in a remake of Aliens.
With its computer-controlled projectiles, the XM-25 grenade launcher (http://gizmodo.com/tag/xm25grenadelauncher/) has everyone amazed at the Pentangon. The key to its destructive power is how the projectiles can be programmed wirelessly to explode at a laser-measured range. That means that you can fire a projectile over a wall or barricade, and have it explode over the enemy, without having to make contact with any object.
The Army wants to have one in each infantry squad by 2012. [Danger Room (http://www.wired.com/dangerroom/2010/01/sci-fi-weapons/)]
