Meet "the Punisher"

The video, released by the Army and posted on Military.com, is the closest look yet at the XM-25 and demonstrates not only the weapon’s ability to detonate a grenade at a precise, preprogrammed distance, potentially eliminating enemies’ ability to hide behind cover, but also its high-tech sighting system and various ammunition loads.

Five prototypes of the rifles have already seen combat in nine operational missions in Afghanistan as part of what the military called a “forward operational assessment” of the weapon. There, they helped soldiers put a quicker end to deadly firefights, according to a February report by the military.
