Let me turn that into a more realistic notion.

There is an interesting little toy in the USAF's armoury... at least there was, the Cluster Bomb/Mine treaty might have led to it being scrapped... called the JSOW - The Joint Stand-Off Weapon. Basically, it is a bomb that releases hundreds of smaller bombs... smaller heat-seeking anti-tank bombs.

So, I'm thinking of a high-calibre weapon like a 40mm grenade launcher. The grenades all contain clusters of smaller-calibre... maybe 9mm... bullets. As the grenade flies through the air, side-mounted sensors fire the submunitions into any target they pass. Triggers can be either magnetic (for robots) heat-seeking (for people) or heat-seeking with Aura sensors (so they shoot only Grimm, not people).
