I still think it's cute enough to post. FYI, an AA12 is a military-grade, recoil-less, automatic, 12 gauge shotgun; a really nasty piece of ordnance! Micro-missiles that can be fired from a shotgun are fictional, however, (AFAIK.) But you can get grenades for them!_\n\n\"These micro-missiles fire from an AA12 on full automatic with no modifications,\" said the engineer. \"They have a range of 1,000 metres, more if aimed ballistically. They're available with incendiary and explosive warheads or kinetic effect with a 1,200 metre range.\"\n\n  \n\n\"I like it!\" the general replied. \"We need them to be heat seeking, independent targeting with fire-and-forget.\"\n\n  \n\nFor a moment, the engineer stared at the general with his mouth open.\n\n  \n\n\"I want recruits in basic training to be able to fire a mess of these fuckers at a target and hit it every time,\" the general added.\n\n  \n\n\"General, sir, are you mistaking me for Scotty from Star Trek or Q from James Bond?\"\n\n  \n\n\"You can have the first ten thousand prototype rounds ready in a month.\"\n\n  \n\n\"No,\" the engineer replied, \"you're mistaking me for Q from Star Trek!\"\n\n  \n\n\"Is there a problem?\"\n\n  \n\"General, sir. with about ten years more research, I should be able to give you micro-missiles that can be loaded into a standard shotgun one at a time. They'll have infrared targeting, fire-and-forget and have enough\n\n\u0026nbsp;stopping\n\n power to tap you on the shoulder at ten metres. But they might be reusable,\" the engineer added.   \n  \n\n"}
