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."

    Of course, every American will want one. It's our constitutional right.. you know, just in case our government gets out from the control of the people. After all, the government is born of the people, and it's every American's right.. ney, DUTY to take up arms against their government when they have over stepped their bounds.

    So if that happens, well, when the black storm troopers try to take away ma and pa's surburban homestead, we'll protect it.... what? 'central control has declaired use of this firearm unauthorized???' WTF????

    NO PROBLEM!

    We'll switch the chips with M$-approved valves, they may be bulky, heavy, hot, requte 200 MW generator strapped to your back, explode for no apparent reason whatsoever, but they sure as hell are immune to EMP pulse Untill the gun BSOD's). Which brings me to a more serious note...why do you thing some of the Russian tanks had (and still have?) vaves in them; we used to make fun of them before but with advent of "E-Bombs" they sure seem useful again (valves should be EMP-proof).

    So....A "street-legal" gun is one that can only shoot 10 people in about 15 seconds or less?

    Guns don't shoot people, People shoot people.

    Unless of course... *sigh* dare I do this again?

    In soviet russia, guns shoot people with YOU!

    And while I'm at it, imagine a beowulf cluster of these things killing the guy chasing Natalie Portman with a bowl of hot grits!

    BTW, nice racist troll there. Or maybe you meant Chicago's south side.
