Smart Gun with Minicam and Biometric Access
StrawberryFrog writes "Ya well no fine, those crazy South Africans are at it again, this time with a "intelligent firearm". You may have heard of guns with fingerprint recognition before, but this also uses a laser to ignite the propellant, has multiple barrels and incorporates a minicam to record as evidence what you are shooting at. It's a very different gun design, and one that depends on electronics to make it work."
X10 enters the firearm business.
What I want to know is when Thinkgeek will be carrying these ... any bets?
KARMA TAG! You're it.
Great, can't wait to see the headlines: Dumbass kills self while trying to take picture, family sues gun manufacturer.

You might want to carry a revolver in your sock for when the OS crashes.
But I bet the idiots who bought 4 large crates of these guns didn't bother to ask about the little red button on the side.
"Can you see that little red number, punk?" Doesn't have quite the same ring to it.
If tits were wings it'd be flying around.
Actually, I think the next movie could be kind of short:
Dirty Harry:I know what you're thinking punk. You're thinkin did he fire six shots or only five. Well to tell you the truth I forgot myself in all this excitement. But being this is the 44 magnum, the most powerful handgun in the world, and would blow your head clean off. You've got to ask yourself a question, Do I feel lucky? Well do you, PUNK!
Punk: Umm... Umm...
Smart Gun: WARNING! Chamber is empty! Load a new magazine to continue shooting! WARNING! Chamber is empty! Load a new magazine to continue shooting!
Punk: Fuck you, cop! Tackles Dirty Harry and bashes his head in with a brick.
You forgot about the cute, animated barrel brush that will pop up and offer helpful suggestions like "It looks like you're trying to shoot an intruder! Would you like me to:
- Research legalities of shooting burglars in your house, based on your current location?
- Look up cleaning services that specialize in removing bloodstains from carpets?
- Remind you that the safety is still on?"
