Lockheed Martin Developing Uber Sniper Rifle


This is a little scary!!!

Lockheed Martin has secured a $2 million DARPA contract, to develop a sniper rifle that will use a computer to compensate for wind conditions so snipers can hit targets from longer distance. The prototype is said to be 9 months away, and is rumored to work in even typhoon conditions. It even has a catchy name, the "One Shot System".
