Nope, the movie name in french was "L'effaceur", "Eraser" in english.
The projectile was a very fine needle (and it fires a lot of them),
spinning along the fireline, propels by a strong magnetic
accelerator (the gun).
The visual was not X-Ray, but ultrasound and detects the
surface-change of density (reflection anyone ?).
