LeedsZeppelin Posted February 9, 2021 Report Share Posted February 9, 2021 "With a built-in camera and computer, the gun can teach its users how to shoot " That's exactly the gun I've been waiting for! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
243deer Posted February 9, 2021 Report Share Posted February 9, 2021 yep, no doubt about it, the more expensive the gun the better you shoot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

London Best Posted February 9, 2021 Report Share Posted February 9, 2021 I read the link and it quotes £980. I still won’t be having one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zapp Posted February 9, 2021 Report Share Posted February 9, 2021 It feels ridiculously gimmicky, but tech is going to get into everything eventually so aspects of the design will probably end up becoming mainstream in time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTaylor91 Posted February 9, 2021 Report Share Posted February 9, 2021 I wouldn’t get one for the simple fact that many of my wide and varying excuses for missing would be proven incorrect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will Poon Posted February 9, 2021 Report Share Posted February 9, 2021 Looks like a browning cynergy carbon fiber on steroids, I’d have one if it ever gets to the gun racks of my local gun shop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

udderlyoffroad Posted February 9, 2021 Report Share Posted February 9, 2021 So it's semi auto with some functionality akin to a Shotkam built in? Despite the marketing spiel 'appealing to Gen Z' and 'Hipster gun' - eagerly lapped up by the Dail Fail's reporter, I can see a genuine use for this, especially if it works reliably, after all a Shotkam is £600 landed. Give it a couple of years, I'll bet you'll see it or something similar at shooting schools Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulinlincs Posted February 9, 2021 Report Share Posted February 9, 2021 I actualy like it. Kind of Star wars vibe to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billytheghillie Posted February 9, 2021 Report Share Posted February 9, 2021 as one comment said,, when you reload ammo, you reload batteries as well. What was the wee Russian Ninja guy all about in the video? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRINITY Posted February 10, 2021 Report Share Posted February 10, 2021 I can see kreigoff jumping on the band wagon quite soon and developing their own version. It will basically be a straight copy withonly one major alteration and that will be to add two zero's on the price tag Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
London Best Posted February 10, 2021 Report Share Posted February 10, 2021 It’s nothing new. Dan Dare had one in the ‘50’s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cranfield Posted February 10, 2021 Report Share Posted February 10, 2021 Ignore the loud beat music, the pathetic masked ninja (that nobody wants to look like) , then examine the features on the gun and it starts to make some sense. I can't see it being welcomed in the coverts, but I have heard they are gradually accepting over and unders, so who knows. I know a few who will eventually own one, if only for the novelty value.

Gen Z (Zoomers, rather than Boomers) are these days what most people are thinking of when they talk about Millennials. Born from late 90's through the 00's. It looks like its styled to fit video game aesthetics to appeal to a gaming generation, which makes a lot of sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really hope not, the generation that rapidly empty virtual magazines as they know they will be refilled.

If you are correct, these people really need a REALITY CHECK before being allowed anywhere near a REAL WEAPON! Bit of a sterotype there! I still do a bit of online gaming, are you saying I should hand my licence in and give up my firearms? My opinion on the gun in question... arriving at a clay shoot with that would be akin to taking a pump or semi auto to a driven shoot at sandringham 🤣 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, I would hope as an established shooter of REAL weapons you would be switched on enough to know the difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stonepark Posted February 11, 2021 Report Share Posted February 11, 2021 Old news but also just launched a pistol grip version. £980 for the package, certainly isn't bad.... and for vermin control it would have its uses. A few negative comments on style but certainly, I have been waiting for gun manufacturers to modernise their practical gun ranges (i.e. not just practical shooting but clays and vermin control as well) where usefulness and purpose is more important than style or two barrels.
