Camera Gun Would Let Hunters Get Killer Wildlife Shots

Zothecula writes "Not too long ago, brothers Randy and Michael Gregg were out on a hunting expedition. It was the day after deer season had ended, yet they spied a handsome animal bedded down in the snow. Not wanting to pass up an opportunity, they silently crept up on their quarry, raised their rifle, lined the deer up in the crosshairs ... and then took a picture through the scope with a mobile phone. That photo provided all the proof they needed that they had successfully stalked their prey, without bringing home an illegally-obtained carcass. It also inspired them to create the Kill Shot — a replica hunting rifle, that takes pictures instead of firing bullets." The Kill Shot isn't just for hunters. Think of how great this would be at sporting events or family reunions!

    It's too bad they didn't have these in 1963. It would have been nice to have a close-up of Kennedy's awesome hair.

      Yeah. And I suppose we'd have 20 photos, then? All from different angles?

      I want a SLR shaped gun to go with my gun shaped SLR... Soon as someone says to take the shot, spectacular confusion ensues :D

      Hell, since 2003, you can use 'em to get a close up of that SWAT team in your yard...

    Just wait until your wife sees you taking a picture of your mother-in-law with one.
