A smart bullet used by Kiera Cameron (Rachel Nichols) in Season 2 Episode 10 of sci-fi series "Continuum".
As an effects technical director on the show I'm responsible for creating elements such as this one.
Projectile is made up of 6 volumetric spotlights. 3 with the spread of 120 degrees, and 3 with narrower beams.
