Heat Seaking .50 Cal Rounds

Man I wish the stuff this dingbat is talking about existed. Our boys and girls in the sandbox could use that kind of tech.

For those not in the know, an Armor Piercing Incendiary (API) round is a bullet designed to pierce light armor and then set afire anything flammable it hits. They are especially effective if they hit hydraulic or fuel lines. There is nothing heat-seeking about them, they are dumb munitions. They are also not generally sold to the American public because armor piercing ammo, incendiary or not, is already highly regulated.
