[citation][nom]GreatSaltedOne[/nom]I think you guys are misinterpreting the last sentence. She meant can't someone else take the gun from you and fire it at you if they stayed within a certain proximity.Anyway -- This is a neat idea, but certainly impractical and at a prohibitive price. If you think about it though, something like this in the military would be good as guns would be useless as field pickups. Someone who actually knows how to design a firearm just needs to take the idea seriously.[/citation]
In this day and age, picking up a weapon in the field with that kind of tech would just give that tech to the enemy.
Besides, how long do you think it would take, or even how hard would it be to jailbreak the gun.
It is, imo, a useless implementation of the feature. Even with the magloc feature, it wouldn't take long to strip the gun, and / or brute force your way past the safety.
And 10 large? Gimme a break. People will buy anything these days.
Next article we see about this gun is that the poor kid took dads watch, and still managed to shoot himself in the eye with the gun.
Gun safety is like everything else in this world, it is taught, and it is enforced. People who buy into this kind of thing, are just asking for trouble because, imo the mentality speaks volumes of laziness.
I do like the led on the back of the gun though....Buck Rogers here we come.
