ICYMI: Latest grenade launcher, modular smart watch and moreToday on In Case You Missed It: The U.S. Army is more interested than ever in blowing things up with precision, and that’s why it’s beginning acceptance testing on a smart grenade launcher that can detonate explosives mid-air. The rest of us can get our geek on with the Kickstarter for Blocks modular watch, which has different modules for all kinds of things: Advanced fitness tracking, mobile payments or GPS. And a Kickstarter to house jellyfish in the fanciest way possible is up for a hefty $1,500.

We’d also like to share this mesmerizing video of a hummingbird sculpture.

And if any of you saw the previous episode where we talked about Skarp, the razor laser that was new to Kickstarter, you should know about the latest development: Kickstarter suspended the project after seeing a video of the prototype that left something to be desired.

If you come across any interesting videos, we’d love to see them. Just tweet us with the #ICYMI hashtag @engadget or @mskerryd.
