Here is an article about laser guided smart bullets by Guns.com.
While I dont think that they'll be avavailable for civilian use for quite some time, it is an interesting concept. With micro circuit technology advancing at such a rapid rate, I suppose it was just a matter of time.

I think that is going to be a bit difficult for concealed carry.So, what does all of this sci-fi tech get us? Sandia National Laboratories (SNL) boasts that the bullet is 98 percent accurate within 2 km. And now that engineers have finally figured out a way to make the computer chip and battery survive after being shot out of a .50-caliber rifle, SNL is ready to put these bad boys into mass production. These bullets should be able to turn even the worst marksman into a ace shooter.
When you have to shoot, shoot. Don't talk.

As well as the pocket book, I'm sure.

I read an article around the year 2000 or so that was talking about a bullet (shell?) that could be programmed to explode at a defined distance from the rifle. This would allow one to target individuals behind cover. Never went anywhere as far as I know. That doesn't mean its not in use somewhere by special forces or one of the alphabet agencies.

pretty cool technology, don't see it ever hitting the civilian market...
I would rather live my life as if there is a God,
And die to find out there isn't, than live my life
As if there isn't, and die to find out there is.
God Bless

Suddenly zombie-killing, extreme duty, extremely extreme critical defense rounds seem quite affordable.
