Well they have no sporting use, so unless civilians want them for their million dollar prepper caves they'll be an enormous waste of money. I'll bet they also require undisclosed optics technology and I doubt it works well with a traditional rifle scope.
The US won't put these in the .50 M2HB as recent articles suggest. The primary role of the munition is to increase 1st round on-target accuracy, something relatively uncommon even for precision shooters.
The technology will change how snipers do their jobs and grossly increase their success rate. Apart from that and scarier still; we'll still be letting killer sky robots do their thing. Scary times.

Unfortuately we live in a time where man isn't the warrior anymore technology is. No matter how big and bad a-- you are some little pencil neck geek can push a button and you're toast. Maybe that's one of the reasons we like swords, because it reminds us of a time when man was the warrior. Don't like fighting an enemy I can't see.

in the real world I'm glad we can push a button and take out our enemies the more of our troops and our allies lives that technical saves the better. But I see Wolfgard's point to when it becomes to easy to kill with out getting your hands dirty it becomes to easy to do it.after all a machine doesn't care or have feelings.so in some ways taking the human factor out of war makes it to easy to start a war.an what I like about swords is in the real world the man that is better trained and has a greater warrior spirit will almost all ways win. Instead of who has the faster computer.
