Hello readers,

I like many other people on this site would like to see certain thing in video games transferred over to the "real" world. In fact many scientists share our opinion and many recenct developments, i.e. powered exoskeletons, are seeming to step out of the pages of fiction and into reality. Anyway I have had two interesting ideas that may be possible now or in the near future and I encourage any viewers to a. either critique my ideas and give me some suggestions or b. post other ideas and how they could be possible or c. do both a. and b.

Idea 1: Anyone who has ever played the Resistance games for the PS3 has probably used the Bullseye tag before. For those who have not played it the tag is a "homing" signal that allows subsequent shot to home in on the fired tag. Anyway, I was thinking that a low velocity muzzle round might be equipped with a radio receiver and the head of the bullet could be made of an shock-absorbent adhesive so that when it strikes a target the bullet would flatten out, adhere to the surface and begin transmitting. I was also thinking that this would be applicible in tow ways to combat.

1. Missles could be altered to track the signal thereby guarrenteing a hit.

2. The tag could be fitted with a transmitter that could track different vehicles back to their home base/cave/etc.

I would post idea 2 here if enough people want it but it is slightly more complicated and has to deal with chemistry/biology.

Any takers? I would like to know if this is a good idea or even practical. After all I think I might want to go into weapon design for my career.

Learn to WAIT. Threads take time to fill up.

And do not bump. We do not like bump here.

Not what you were saying last night, bay-beh.

But yeah, no reason to bump your own thread. If people don't reply it's because people don't have anything to say or they're typing a really, really awesome reply.

I always like to think the latter is true.

Sorry, I am still new. What does bumping mean anyway? Is that double posting on your own thread in order to get it started? If so I will stop right away.

By the way I am not being sarcastic.

My idea:

My ideas are capable of earning more money than Microsoft. I'll let that sink in for a second. Why would I write them down for all to see?

I put my idea down because I would be pysyched even if someone came up with the actual invention themselves. It would mean I have useful ideas instead of imaginative junk.

It means replying to your own thread to throw it back on the front page.

The tag rounds idea seems cool, but it'd be impossible to fire curving bullets if they don't each have their own means of propulsion. Plus they travel really quickly so it'd be a pain to make them turn.

Another cool idea. The shield that only blocks stuff coming from the other side. You can still shoot fine through your side. Still impossible of course.

Congrats to you, new Gonzo. Heaven knows what your rate of posting was. I joined in January and I only got my 1000th last month.

Well,the idea of using transmitter for missile targeting is sufficently cool. I don't know if it's possible or viable,but hey! You can't put a price tag on awesome!

You will, when you realise you'll never get the oppurtunity to implement those ideas on your own, they'll die with you, and you'll probably regret not sharing them more when you realised what they could have done for you, and other people.

On the OP's idea. Yeah, you're a few years too late. Sure, it's usually not bullets that are used, because frankly, that doesn't make much sense, and would cost far more than was gained, but there are devices for both of your goals, that would accomplish it much better than a bullet. Sorry.

I'm still a teen, and I'm halfway through development. Now, these are revolutionary ideas that will put the human race 4000 years into the future... That's a BIG jump.

I don't intend to make the bullets curve as that would be impossible, I was just thinking that it could be used to track things and possible be used as designators for missles.

The cunning fapper must always be alert and aware of his surroundings.

You really need to clear out your air vents by the way.

I was thinking that it could be used by snipers and could possibly work better than laser designators because it would be a fire and forget system, this would be better than laser designators which require you to have line of sight with your target.

Also, think of this. Tag an enemy vehicle, find out where its "base" is, then send a predetor drone to take it out. Talk about taking the danger out of an engagment, I mean just shoot it and run away.
