They built about 175 of these things before the project was abandoned in late 1944. Some claim that as many as 70 pilots were being trained to fly them. Contrary to popular belief flying one of these was not supposed to be a suicide mission, the pilot was to parachute to safety. It's a good job they never tried it

The "Bemannte geschosse" or "Manned Bullet/missile" is better associated with the Ba349 "Natter Viper",
There were "some", but none prepared operationally like the Fi103R (with additional marks: R I, R II, R III, R IV, R V) and the Ba349.To be fair there were others like Me328B, Bv40 not as spectacular as The Natter , but developed quite far
The US Navy version was called the JB-1 Loon IIRC
