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.
The AN/PEQ-2 has two infrared laser emitters;one narrow beam used for aiming the rifle and one wide beam used for illuminating targets, like a flashlight.
