I was so intrigued by Joe “Hands” Biden’s ideas about smart guns that I was prompted to research what real smart weapons may be like.<\/p>\n

Since the US Army was intrigued by the idea of a harness for a heavy weapon operator to wear, to ease the stress on bones, backs and muscles and still get the job done, that is now under development. That came up a couple of years ago. Hollywood props makers come up with some gonzo stuff sometimes, everything from costumes for bone-thin actors to wear for a giant drooling ant’s part in a spooky sci-fi movie, to weapons that can fire depleted uranium rounds at those bugs\u00a0 in a bug hunt.<\/p>\n

I did a little searching and found this video overview of what smart weapons of the movies are supposed to do, how they operate and what they fire, and nicely done.\u00a0 It’s a nice video from Alien Theory, outlining the properties of the smart guns used in the movie \u201cAliens\u201d.<\/p>\n

He does say \u2018uncased ammo\u2019 and then shows cased ammo, and \u2013 well, nobody\u2019s perfect. It\u2019s a good job of describing how those \u201csmart\u201d weapons work and what a variety is available for use against bugs in a bug hunt. The harnesses the actors wear generated interest by the military to develop something similar for real use.<\/p>\n
