Smart Gun with Minicam and Biometric Access

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the saturday-night-special dept.

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."

  1. "Crazy" South Africans? by psyconaut · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    Firstly, is it kind of racist/xenophobic to write "crazy" South Africans? (I'm sensitive: I'm South African born).

    Can't we just write "crazy gun-totting idiots" and leave the race out of it? Guns are bad, whoever has them in their hands.
