Defense technology could not have been such sophisticated and hassle free as could be witnessed at the launch of Precision Guided Firearms at CES 2013. For those that consider firearms as mere mechanical tools with no technical precision involved, here is a clear answer. Believe me you; anyone could be dumbstruck to have a tete e tete with these wonderfully crafted technological updates in the Precision Guided Firearms segment.
No one could have visualized even in their wildest dreams that firearms could function on Linux based programs. Nonetheless; Austin, Texas based Tracking Point has come out with flying colors and achieved the impossible. These personalized rifles which eject customized bullets enable the user to see a heads up display of the target using digital tracking scopes and modified trigger mechanism.
The best part of the product is that once the information regarding range of target, surrounding temperature etc. is stored in memory it reconfirms the target by re-directing the crosshairs. Once the trigger is pushed the rifle waits for the reticle and the marked target pips to coincide and out goes the shot.
What makes it so special?
It has a permanent storage system where videos could be recorded and the inbuilt Wi-Fi server passes on video to your smart phone. The best of them all is that the application in the system helps in uploading the video stored to Facebook and YouTube account of yours. Though, you need to shell out some serious money and the price is $17,000 but the product is worth paying for. Therefore, fire the shot before it is too late.
