  It’s the Hellfire AGM-114R-9X

  A while back it was used to kill some dude without the other people in the same house being collateral damage, so it got meme status for a while.

    Question. Are the knives really needed? I feel like getting hit with what is essentially a 5 foot long, 7 inch wide bullet, travelling at mach 1 would prove to be equally efficient at killing single targets, as strapping knives to it.

      it reduces the risk of missing because the target bent over to pick up a quarter, or stepped to the side because they saw something interesting. the knives in question are basically swords that deploy radially from the missile body like an umbrella.

      There have been times it’s been used against a whole carful of people, and cars are bigger than seven inches.
