Tracking Point

[DeviousMind]

Came across this today and thought I would asked if anybody else has seen this? I believe it is going to cost between $15,000 to $20,000 depending on the type you want. Basically says you laze the target and then the rifle will only fire when you are back on the same spot.

This item came up again today on my newsreader. This time from the NBC news / technology site. (http://www.nbcnews.com/technology/gadgetbox/futuristic-rifle-turns-novice-sharpshooter-1B7916613)

Seems more like a video game but if you've got $20k just burning a hole in your pocket...what the heck?

Issues I see:

Factoring in weather conditions along bullet flight path

IFF (breaking Rule 2 and Rule 3)

Capability of leading moving targets

Durability

Power source and longevity

Weight

... and so on.
