Airdrop

I did hear a rummor that the new gps guided airdrop kit that Americans use from C-17s and the brits from C-130s is so acurate that if the same co-ordinates are punched into 2 pallets they are likely to land on top of each other!!.
If thats so, surely the Brits could drop ammo direct to customer from the UK in C-17's . Then land for a backload!!!!
How hard can it be, the aircraft works it all out. Punch in some numbers, open the door, push a button, load gone!
Then land for a backload....I know..... its not that simple!
