1/1/0
A compact directed swarm weapon that cannot miss. Stacked-charge self-steering micro-motor flechettes in superposed loading within a detachable canister magazine that also serves as the single-shot firearm barrel, magnetically locked onto the target painter grip; the entire barrel is detached and discarded after use. The gun is triggered via inductive electronic ignition, and fires a self-propelled swarm cloud of piercing darts in a single blistering high-velocity hail that is exceptionally effective against organic targets. The handgun possesses primitive iterative search, kill-seek algorithms against a stochastic surrogate objective function with particle swarm optimisation. Typically this handgun fares poorly against heavily armoured or entrenched opponents. It is rumoured that advanced electronic warfare can disrupt, intercept and even redirect high-velocity self-steering swarms in mid-flight.
