    @mikeg1130: I think this is the new special forces weapon that you fire over an enemy, stops at a pre-set distance, and then explodes above them. Supposed to replace grenade launchers.

    @jestermeister: It isn't a larger bullet that shoots out smaller bullets. Its a bullet that knocks out other bullets before they get to you.
