    Long distance.

    I think this ko2m stuff is almost like rolling the dice. We're at a technological limit. What you launch 2000 yards away is damn hard to stay on target. Just thinking out loud. When would it be practical to make self guiding / correcting projectiles. Yes it's a missile. But with technology advancing it may be feasible. People are already up at $10 per round. Look at the lab radar - if you can provide mid-flight feedback you can always hit your target.

    Guided bullets already exist.
    They have been testing/developing them at a range in southern California for years.
    They moved back to 1500yds a few years ago.
    I don't recall if they have moved back further than that as well.

      As you mentioned before at some point it becomes artillery. I have some high end optics and that becomes a limiting factor at some point.
