Hopefully, it will shoot these...
The research arm dedicated to creating breakthrough technology for the Pentagon has shared video of a successful test of self-guided bullets. The Pentagon's Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency conducted a test April 21 with Teledyne Scientific & Imaging. Video posted to YouTube earlier this month shows a round with a ballistic path far from its intended target. As the round makes its way along the errant trajectory it suddenly curves, corrects itself and hits the intended target. DARPA had a promising prototype for its Extreme Accuracy Tasked Ordinance (EXACTO) .50-caliber bullets in 2012, but the new video confirms that the agency has perfected the technology. “The Extreme Accuracy Tasked Ordnance system seeks to improve sniper effectiveness and enhance troop safety by allowing greater shooter standoff range and reduction in target engagement timelines,” DARPA’s website stated. The new rounds will make American snipers even more efficient, allowing them to acquire moving targets in any environment. A self-guided bullet makes eliminating a target with one shot more likely, which better safeguards the sniper’s exact location.

I'm having a 9mm vs. .45 debate myself. I have a compact XDm .45 and really like it, but it's a little bulky for summer concealment. I am thinking about getting a more compact pistol to carry in the summer and possibly to carry as a backup on an ankle (or if I get one small enough just in a pocket) during winter.
XDs or Shield are the likely candidates. |

The guidance system is neither huge nor does it use RADAR. But, yes, it's being designed for rifles.
