A new kind of bullet that can change direction in the air has been created by the US research team for its military. Such a bullet will enable the US military soldiers to shoot the enemy from all angles even when they are hidden. After learning about the new technology developed by the US, ISIS terrorists have become anxious.

You might think that it is good idea to show a bullet capable of changing direction in the air in a sci-fi movie, but the US has made it a reality. If reports of the Daily Mail are to be believed then the US military has recently tested the first bullet that is well capable of changing directions in mid-air with a .50 caliber sniper round. As a result, it will now be possible to hit nearly impossible targets.

A person using such a bullet will be able to target faster with better accuracy and bring new levels of safety to snipers. The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (Darpa) said that the system works by combining a manoeuverable bullet and a real-time guidance system to keep a track and provide the required projectile to the target. Thus, the bullet is allowed to change path during flight to deal with unexpected factors that may lead the bullet to go off target.

"Technology development in Phase II included the design, integration and demonstration of aero-actuation controls, power sources, optical guidance systems, and sensors. The program's next phase includes a system-level live-fire test and technology refinement to enhance and improve performance", said the agency.

The agency added that snipers never had this opportunity before to plan where and when they can shoot, but this new technology has now opened doors for them to do so. With the current technology, it is extremely difficult for military snipers to hit moving targets in unfavorable conditions, such as high winds and dusty terrain commonly found in Afghanistan.
