Welcome back everybody knew we want to turn now to our focus on weekly war games column foxnews.com contributor Allison -- joining us.

You can always follow her at at -- -- underscore Barry.

I know that Alison you've got a very interesting that piece for -- On our web site today and it's generating some buzz it's all about that the fact that we've got some new bullets out there and that could.

Turn an average Joseph as you say into a sniper great potential to yes if they -- made publicly available so.

I'm hoping that something can get into it's about your thoughts on your willingness and will -- guide these are but these are the good the government the military commitment using military -- let are actually developing.

Bullets that can be indicted yes yes so self guided.

The idea is that if you can actually increase the accuracy as its in flight in the air and amazing by phenomenal.

According it's Sandia labs is that former nuclear weapons lab -- you know that's going to be -- -- about and different things now.

As well as -- which is that arm that's the -- shop.

US armed forces.

So -- has been a lot more quiet about its development this project in.

In the big itself on stated very clearly that some things like actors he standoff -- these sorts of things he.

Just be classified.

So kind of discuss the move as well we do know that it can change course during flight yes with a time guidance system.

Yeah it's it's pretty phenomenal this and deal one actually you know there patent says that.

You know an average Phyllis in operational conditions and miles off could be -- thirty seats you know -- off target.

Their bullet with -- self guided technology he's an eight inches -- Yeah exactly when it turned its force of improved accuracy is phenomenal and and I wanna definitely.

Come out strong saying we are to have amazing sniper teams so you know they're incredibly effective and our viewers -- -- members be taken implement Smart -- -- incidents -- they took that American captain hostage.

And is the east seals snipers -- -- these penalties shocked at the same time -- very difficult conditions and that's difficult and you it -- yet our viewers imagine being out it's the rough choppy waters when he's a sort of conditions it's tankers have to -- com and I'm a land between Syria Iraq and Afghanistan.

Cross -- and got hi Lindsay -- -- around variations.

Air density dust had tons of stuff going on and you know off and it's very difficult to get his vehicle -- targets that's that the salary as they're taking off -- times for our responses snipers that they can't do it right but this sort of technology would make it easier way and that what stage are -- -- -- -- terms of actually using this an irregular basis basis and Deanna and February and announced that they had been tested and been very successful online -- them.

Our is due on September 24 the company and it's been responsible for testing here.

Is due to announce its kind delivering results.

Could have even sooner than that I'd I'd love to hear the results -- -- and excited about it for its battlefield potential.

Not -- excited about it for you know -- potential application and civilians is good do you think it will actually make it civilian space I'd like to think not you know China and -- there's sensitive.

He says it's it's -- generate some -- people are concerned and I know we've got a provocative title on the -- -- debated whether to use -- not.

But these are hoaxes and our viewers are trying to actually put of these things of course I'm not advocating in the habit terrible incident remember -- it in the recent past that sniper.

And civilian space taking up people this.

Real tragedy and and that some of the skill sets that can only imagine you know an average guy -- -- -- that you don't want that happening.

So is it possible that other people would be working on -- technology making it available.

Sure that I and I don't think there's any intention clearly darkness and very quiet and -- shouldn't lie about this project it's very exciting ones that you know decent amount of money and it.

And they haven't been advertised it so I think that speaks volumes as to intention.

Keep you come landing -- his classified as of now so.

We're still following a ways off or.

It's fallen to the -- Hampshire that's but in terms of the technology and -- self are we only once in the -- in the world right now developing.

And look that's -- -- them.

-- you but I'd -- wondering no rain you know that's and at you that is a great question and when I was looking into doing this you know I do my best to look around and see -- it's our friendly countries you the F faster doing and I are not -- -- the country today.

Unsurprisingly at -- very quiet about this Saturday.

I don't I don't think you'd be wrong to expect that other countries are keen on developing this potential -- you know friendly and unfriendly.

Yes.

It's not a stretch the imagination of the party Dotson guided munitions you look familiar with -- -- surface to -- -- in the area.

Air to surface themselves.

It's the same kind of again this has that potential for that -- -- -- has said very clearly that.

This could be ruled that it's intended it's active program is focused on the snipers that doesn't mean that it could he.

Different -- others it could -- -- for other things as well.

Lots of very interesting article indeed -- I -- think about her new bullet could turn the average -- into a sniper question mark down -- don't -- by Alison and you can catch it on our website we are here.

To check it out there it is you -- -- in your screen right now on to take a look at the size of these bullets.

Interesting.

The fact that the technology is.

Taking us into a realm that perhaps even like a few years ago -- like.

Three or four years -- we could not have conceived this -- it's it is phenomenal and it's.

Kind of agree American ingenuity story with this and the Alaska's as she got -- hunters like hey wouldn't it be cool -- maybe you could make itself got people reacted to itself -- -- started and they put in the time and effort didn't happen and -- -- Alison great to see you think you have appreciated thanks we'll see again next time it.
