activeviii Posted January 4, 2015 Report Share Posted January 4, 2015 Like the idea but a price tag of 13000usd I think I'll by a couple pairs of walking boots and just get a little closer. Hehe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.007 Posted January 4, 2015 Report Share Posted January 4, 2015 you need to buy their pop gun also or the kit won`t work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zapp Posted January 4, 2015 Report Share Posted January 4, 2015 This is the same way most tanks aim and fire their main guns. I've been wondering for a while when we'd see it applied to small arms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lee-kinsman Posted January 6, 2015 Report Share Posted January 6, 2015 good idea for a killing machine but I think it takes away a level of skill and responsibility from the shooter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Les*1066 Posted January 7, 2015 Report Share Posted January 7, 2015 These sort of systems are all well and good, but in the real world it generally doesn't take long for the other side to develop the same technology, so it doesn't really help anybody in the long term.

The Mighty Prawn Posted January 8, 2015 Report Share Posted January 8, 2015 Nice tech but tragically de-skilling the shooter - hate the pull the trigger and wait aspect, what if you don't manage to line your sight back up with the laser aim point? Also you have to be accurate with the laser first or it doesn't matter how accurate the shot turns out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deadeye18 Posted January 8, 2015 Report Share Posted January 8, 2015 Good for military and police use but id be saying no thanks,it takes too much of the skill away from shooting.i feel the same way about pcp airguns,no recoil just point and pull so again taking away some of the skill involved.clever bit of kit though.

NickB65 Posted January 8, 2015 Report Share Posted January 8, 2015 I can see how this would be good for the services and how it good ensure cleaner kills for them but for the social or game market..... nah. It makes killing clinical almost "game like" and removes the reality of taking "that" shot. Lovely use of technology though and good to see technology being used outside of the traditional.

zx10mike Posted January 8, 2015 Report Share Posted January 8, 2015 a sad day for shooting imo ,half the point is the work you have to do to become good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FalconFN Posted January 8, 2015 Report Share Posted January 8, 2015 Great for profession purposes or clinical culling at sensible ranges but, as shown on the video, the unit is pushed to its limit and used by novices for 1000 yard big game. All you are doing is making it easier to hit a target but then putting the target further away, to make it challenging again - pointless really.
