US Army researchers have developed a "limited range projectile" which has pyrotechnic technology built in.
When fired, the bullets explode after a short period of time which causes it to stop travelling forward.
This means the range of the bullets can be controlled, so that missed shots don't hit innocent bystanders standing further afield.
The pyrotechnic material is lit as the bullet is fired, which ignites a reactive material which transforms the bullet into an "aerodynamically unstable object" after travelling a certain distance...
