Police Using Google Guns Terrify Criminals (SAT PAR News Aug 19, 2014) Police departments such as Baltimore City and Detroit are using the new Google Guns, these are Military GPS controlled weapons that also use the Google map system. When a shot is fired the bullet gets signals from the gun to change the flight path to hit the target, even if the target moved. The bullets have small jets that can fire for a fraction of a second - this is enough for a course correction. The bullet is instructed to aim for the target that was identified by the gun. Identification occurs through a special beam (classified) that leaves a small radioactive signature on the person - the amount is harmless but is enough for the gun to track within 1,000 feet. The computer in the gun is very tiny but powerful as it receives GPS signals, map information, and updates the bullet on the target.  Ballistic experts are referring to the bullet as a hybrid since it has missile components in addition to the classic explosive charge - even though the jets are small, they still change the course of the bullet. An advantage of the Google maps is a detailed record of the bullet flight path. Except for active investigations, Google will make a map available of all bullet flight paths where the technology is employed.
