In case you missed it, the Texas-based company TrackingPoint is selling a “smart” rifle that allows even an inexperienced shooter to hit a target 10 football fields away. But prepare for sticker shock, because it costs $27,500.
The TrackingPoint rifles are Wi-Fi enabled and have a color display so users can post videos of their shots on Facebook or YouTube.
Check out the company’s own video here and let us know what you think:
it seems prone to wifi lag, it would require batteries, and just overall excessively slow to aim the scope is bouncing itself around. so yeah hard to miss when it works, but a snap shot to save a life or kill a surprise zombie isn’t going to happen.
It’s pretty cool tech but as a recreational shooter it seems a lot like cheating, taking away the fun of shooting in the first place.
I’m tempted to start putting away a little fund for one of these. Or at least see if I can find a place to shoot one.
