Sniping Could Be the Next Killer iPod App

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 didn't find it disturbing and objectionable so much as humiliating for whoever thought it was funny.

    There's no point in being offended by stupidity. Rather, we should pity the type of adult man-child that makes such jokes, even ironically, for they know not how much they embarrass themselves.

    My big questions is:

    When will this be available in the app store so everyone can buy one? I mean...isn't deer season coming up soon???

    Come to think of it...next hurricane that hits....this would come in handy against looters. Gotta make sure and keep the iPod charged....target rich environment!!
