Anyone seen Aliens? Anyone say M56 Smart Gun? http://alienanthology.wikia.com/wiki/M56_Smart_Gun#Target_Tracking http://alienanthology.wikia.com/wiki/M56_Smart_Gun#Target_Tr... "When powered up, the gun begins tracking targets via its infrared tracker mounted above the barrel. The tracker consists of a 256 x 256 element platinum-silicide focal plane array cooled to 770 degrees K by a tiny cryogenic gas cooler working on the Stirling principle. This system monitors a 30 degree cone in front of the gun and transmits high-resolution thermal images in the 8-10 um range to a miniature video display in the operator's eyepiece." Thats all available technology - right now.

The replay button of The Fifth Element trumps that, but it's not available yet http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U7wOX2WqbXE http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U7wOX2WqbXE

    Maybe I misunderstood your comment but parent was about Aliens, this is about The Fifth Element. Different movies different fictional weapons. TFE's one is more fictional.
