Posted by samzenpus on from the pull-up-your-kill-list dept.

An anonymous Coward writes "Knights Armament Corp. who supply sniper rifles to the US military have developed a iPod Touch mounting system and software for the US Army M110 sniper rifle system. The use of off the shelf hardware no doubt cut costs and allowed rapid development of this system." If it automatically played a theme song after every head shot, this would be the coolest rifle accessory ever.

    I read it and felt the same. While I do find dark and oft times off colour humour funny, this type of thing just makes me sad. We live in a world that not only makes killing easy, it makes killing others a fun and a game.

    Yes, and I think the most objectionable thing about it is that it wasn't funny. Think about it.
