$17,000 linux-powered precision guided rifle

For the nintendo generation...

Same way that a SIM driving game will let you be a F1 driver in no time at all.

As long as you still have to squeeze the trigger and handle the recoil, LR precision shooting will have to be learnt regardless of what the monitor says.

PS, it doesn't measure the wind..... still a long ways to go.

You can't just wait for calm days to shoot terrorists??? ;)
 
IDF is working on a scope that WILL read the wind.

right now, prototypes can only read 1 vector so you can only read wind at one distance.

They are working on being able to figure out a wind gradient (average of winds at various locations). This will provide a firing solution that can get a bullet on target.

Civy versions were supposed to be offered if it ever got figured out. Not sure where they are in development.

That will be interesting tech.

Some fudd will drop $17k on one of these and then still not be able to make hits LOL

But the "nanny" button will tell him or her when the trigger can be pulled....

AND stop you if it feels you are not doing what it wants.

About as exciting as having a car tell you to put your seat belt, while defeating the ignition until you do

Feel safer already

PS. the output can be streamed live so you can have your "friends" debate whether you should or shouldn't shoot. Always great to have so much support in those important decisions.

Can't wait for the pants to tell you how and when to take a pi$$...
 
Somehow, I don't think this will replace our snipers just yet....

impressive tech don't get me wrong, but Canadian snipers have made kills at twice that range.

Kind of reminds me of vehicle anti-collision radar/lidar braking systems that only work on uniform dry pavement.
Thrown in variables like ice, snow or rain...
 
It's brand new tech, give it a few years for moore's law to work out the kinks. I can see the day where these systems can out shoot humans easily!

I can see it being useful for military but for an individual to own one - pointless. It would take all the fun out of it.
