“DARPA experts explain that this new technology will help a lot in hitting targets that move as soon as the sniper fires a shot.”

Right; some guy in Bulgaria has all of the juicy info on advanced weapons development.

Visible laser? These guys have no clue.

They are working on this, but I'm sure it will use an out of band laser frequency invisible to both eyeballs and NIR night vision.

Don't worry, the American Taxpayer has deep pockets! We'll do it, no matter the cost. Uncle Sugar and the Military Industrial Complex gotta eat!

I figure they'll spend $20mil in research to determine it's too expensive to make.

Found an image of the prototype...
