| #4 It sounds like the bullet can't be redirected, but can be programmed to explode at a certain range. Seems to me it is based on programming how many revolutions the bullet makes before it detonates. Cool. Don't we have stuff like this on humvee-mounted chain guns or 40mm launchers or something? So it's just been miniaturized. |

| #3 Considerably lighter than a Javelin or similar missile, with most of the function. |
