    Ha. Maybe in a single player game, shooting bots, but we already have this in Titanfall with the auto-pistol. But this is way more OP considering its range. Sniping in BF4 is already an easy shot, I can't imagine a dozen campers with a gun like this. Lock target and shoot and bam.

    I saw a similar firearm at Titanfall or did I just mistook it for another gun?

    J.Dre, was that self-guided bullets act like the ones I see from the Wanted flick?

    No, lol. That movie was shooting "guided" bullets based on some kind of force that these people had. A special ability, if you will. DARPA is working on bullets that act like guided missiles. They have tiny microchips built into them (infrared laser guided), as well as tiny fins that allow them to turn/change direction mid-flight.
