PK rockets are real!!! And are now in use in Afghanistan!
The US military for some time has been developing a whole range of "future" weapons. One such weapon, the XM25 Grenade Launcher, is designed to work just like the infamous PK rockets of the 22nd century.
Sight it in on a target and program the grenade to air burst just past it.
Now this "game changing" weapon is seeing real life combat on the ground in Afghanistan.

2142 in 2010: Cover Killer
We all know what it's like to hide behind cover...but not sooner than a second, having Rockets from an Assault Rifle do us in...rendering your 'cover' useless.
Well, looks like Insurgents have to fear the same thing

Yeah this has actually been in development for a while, but I think that effective killing is the least of our problems over there...
