The weird thing here is "smart bullets" which actually change shape to adjust their trajectory and thereby home in on the target.
For some reason you need a long tongue in order to properly aim them.
Plus, Brain-Machine Interfaces, "OGRE tanks" (for you SJG fans) and phasers.
Although, okay, the "phaser" thing? It's that dumb pain-causing "area denial weapon" again, which is just teh ghey. So don't bother with that part.
