The US Army has patented a radical self destructing bullet (patent pictured) is says could make using live ammunition in urban areas far safer and reduce 'collateral damage'.
Daily Mail: Army reveals self destructing short range BULLET than could be fired in cities without harming bystanders
* US Army researchers say bullet could 'reduce collateral damage'
* When fired, bullets explode after a short period of time
* Will first be used in .50 caliber ammunition but can be expanded to others
The US Army has patented a radical self destructing bullet is says could make using live ammunition in urban areas far safer.
The 'limited range projectile' has pyrotechnics built in.
When fired, they explode after a short period of time - causing the bullet to effectively stop.
The pyrotechnic material is ignited at projectile launch.
The pyrotechnic material ignites the reactive material, and if the projectile reaches a maximum desired range prior to impact with a target, the ignited reactive material transforms the projectile into an 'aerodynamically unstable object'.
