The rifle requires a special scope, paired to an equally special spotting scope, and an extremely advanced wireless video receiver and digital recorder. The package was estimated to cost in the neighbourhood of $300,000 (USD), and that's not including the rounds, at about $7,500 (USD) each and, of course, the rifle. It's pretty cool stuff...

    Rumour has it that they are already working on Bullet Cam 2.0 for shotguns. Tiny cameras imbedded in each pellet.
    Use number 10 bird shot and you’ll see what a fly sees when it smacks into your windshield!

    Nice one guys!

    That would actually work. Just use cameras instead of pellets.

    Hornadys out done DARPA on this one. The camera remains stable while the projectile rotates through some sort of gyro/ball bearing system that the techs at Hornady didn't want to get into. They fixed the melting tip issue pretty quick by selecting a non melting ballistic tip. Amazing stuff for around $10 a round!

    So 10 rounds for 99 bucks is pretty competitive then right?
