Rocket bullets. Triangular ammo. A rifle that shoots around a corner. A gun that fires a million rounds a second. And one that made it all the way to a government order for three hundred thousand units and still died. Some of these failed on the range. Some failed in the factory. A few worked exactly as advertised and got killed by a law, a budget, or a wall coming down at the wrong moment.
