Precision-guided small arms prototypes have been developed which use a laser designator to guide an electronically actuated bullet to a target. [8] Another system in development uses a laser range finder to trigger an explosive small arms shell in proximity to a target. As of 2009, the U.S. Army has plans to use such devices in the future.

In 2011, it created a long-range rifle system that was the first precision guided firearm. [1] [2] Formed by John McHale in February 2011, the company created its first PGF prototype in March 2011. The company offered its first product in January 2013 [3] and a second, the AR Series semi-automatic smart rifle, in January 2014. [4]
XM1113 extended range artillery round, shown here at a range demonstration, uses a rocket-assist motor In 2021, the U.S. Army plans to produce the upgraded M1156E2/A1, compatible with newer XM1128 high explosive and XM1113 rocket-assisted projectiles to achieve 10 m (33 ft) accuracy at 30 and 40 km (19 and 25 mi) respectively when fired from a ...
Fullbore target rifle (TR) is a precision rifle shooting-sport discipline governed by the International Confederation of Fullbore Rifle Associations (ICFRA). [1] TR uses single-shot rifles, usually chambered in .308 calibre, with circular "bullseye" targets at distances of 300–1000 yards.
F-Class shoots at the same targets as Palma, but during the scoring process an extra inner ring (which is half the diameter of the V-bull) counts only for F-Class. While short range is shot at a different target size for each of the six distances, long range is shot at the one and same type of target at different distances. [5]
For shooting sport, accuracy is the gun's ability to hit exactly what the shooter is aiming at, and precision is the ability to hit the same place over and over again in a repeatable fashion. Both are the goals of accurizing, [ 2 ] which generally concentrates on four different areas:
