We have heat-seeking missiles today, but what would it take to build heat-seeking bullets? Could they be programmed to only target specific body parts? Or only specific people?

They are working on this right now. The U.S. Military is currently investigating what it will take to put microchips in to bullets that will direct its trajectory. The idea is that a bullet is launched at an exact area on a target using a laser (So a heat seeking bullet wouldn’t be far behind) target system. When a bullet leaves the barrel, many factors can affect its trajectory including heat, humidity, angle and air density. The microchip in the bullet would extend fins from one of four angles (or any combination of the four) to correct its trajectory. The big problem right now is getting the fins out fast enough to correct an error of a hunk of metal traveling at better than 2000 feet per second. This is largely being looked at for long range shooting. As for specific body parts or people, I don’t see why not if that area was targeted with the laser, but as for a heat seeking bullet, I would imagine that it would require more computing power then a wee microchip could handle at current technology levels.

I would imagine that if Halliburton are removing information about heat seeking bullets from Wikipedia, theres a good chance they already exist. The new Wikiscanner has un-covered some great things that once would have been unbelivable but due to editing by Government bodies and companies are now more than likely true. I say they exist and Halliburton know all about them. Ask them. Heres a link to a list of edits by companies. Heat seeking bullets is the 8th one down. I have checked all over the net and there is nothing about the bullets or their supposed inventor MacKellar. Interesting. http://wired.reddit.com/wikidgame/
