Hmm. Copperhead. Hellfire. MFSS. Javelin. AN/TVQ-2. Things are 
getting more sophisticated. Mortar rounds are getting even more high 
tech. I'm sure some folks were saying the same thing about the US's 
first Proximity Fuzed anti-aircraft rounds in WWII. "You mean this 
fancy doo dad is going to know when to explode next to one o' them 
nazi planes???	 Sheeeit..."
