New rifle uses radio-controlled bullets

As long as there are too many people, and we think we want what the other guy has, or are afraid he wants what we have, there will be war.

Yeah, maybe instead of war, we could play "Hungry-Hungry Hippo's" and let the game decide who gets all that "oil"....Last time I saw a picture of "W", he was swimming in a atanker of free Iraqi oil....(sarcasm)

We're a very peculiar creature, us humans... The very things we loathe, are our single strongest driving force pushing us forward... if not war, be it out of greed for what someone else has, religous/political/racial hate, or simple conquest for no reason, we wouldn't be anywhere near of the stage we are at now. Sad as it is, wars and all of our tools of war is what drove most of our progress. Mostly we're inhibited by bureaucracy, endless "pencil pushers" to get through, each one of them asking for more money than the one before him, all sorts of delays before anything new or innovative sees ...

Ladies started shaving their legs because of war. No. Some businesses from early 20th century began "encouraging" American women to shave their underarms as sleeveless styles became popular. Shortly after, when skirts showed more than just ankles, women started to shave their legs as well.

the more advanced the tech the higher chance there is of things going wrong.wat if it meses up and detenates prematuarly?you could end up taking out your whole unit The higher the tech, the more training troops get for it. The more training, the less chance of error. We get duds in whatever ammunition you use for whatever weapon...be it high tech or not. But newer tech is safer. The old weapons are garbage and they jam or break or explode all the time. So no, high tech doesnt equal more chance of going wrong.

True, most wars do come from greed, selfishness and religion. I just wish people would look at the past and see that nothing good has ever come from war. I completely agree with you! The biggest argument people have against people like me and you is that a lot of technology has come from war.... Yes it has but then think of it this way. If all the countries in the world where at peace with no wars or military (except a "world army" in case of certain circumstances) then think of all the resources, time, effort, manpower and intelligence that could be put together to be used to take us into the...

i still think the kalashnikov is the best assualt rifle AK 47,An-94 or AK 74? You didn't specify? The AK 47 is not that great a rifle at all. It packs an insane punch and has a very insane rate of fire... but the bad accuracy compared to modern assault rifles and European/US ones make it not so great. It's not really for skilled marksmen etc, more run and gun. The AN-94 Abakan on the other hand is an incredible Assault rifle, it shadows the AK 47, but then it was the replacement really.

My Hi-Point 995 carbine has them all beat. It takes a lickin' and keeps on tickin'
