Oh Bullwinkle, that trick never works…
Oh Bullwinkle, that trick never works…
Just remember, there is a reason automotive braking systems are not fly by wire.I have enough trouble getting my phone to recognize my face and unlock quickly. I don't think I want a gun that might take an extra couple seconds to unlock before I could use it.
Oh boy. Another “smart gun”. But this one “really works”.

Let's not forget how sensors like this can fail, when the hand is covered in blood, sweat, dirt.Didn’t think about that aspect of it. That’s why it’s nice to hear other people’s perspectives.
So yeah, wouldn’t want someone or something else to have control of my firearm.
Oh, found it.

Not very smart though.
All your kid needs is a magnet.
You, and everyone else, make a good point. Thanks for educating me on it. It is a good idea in theory but now that I’ve been educated more on the topic, not so much.Let's not forget how sensors like this can fail, when the hand is covered in blood, sweat, dirt.
And they told us THIS ONE worked great also. Good enough to trust your life on.

Smart Gun Fails During Demonstration
Despite the video being ended quickly, after the first round he kept pulling the trigger but the gun wouldn’t fire. If you listen carefully, you can even hear the trigger making a clicking so…crimeresearch.org

The operator clearly confirms he intends to fire “two rounds.” He fires one shot.www.ammoland.com
There have been other guns that failed.
One failed when the company was showing it off.
Can't remember the name, started with an A.
Armetrex or something like that.
So, this gun is good for 'hours'...
And then?
Well, then it's a brick.
If it's too dark or too much glare to read your face. Or if you're wearing sunglasses or a hat. Or your hands are dirty, bloody or your grip isn't in the right place for it to recognize your fingerprints. God forbid it's cold and you are wearing gloves or shooting weak hand due to injury then you won't be able to shoot it either. Thanks, I'll pass.Yeah, they definitely need to work the kinks out first but I think they may have something here.
As long as you could program more than one person to it, like your spouse (or maybe not depending on your relationship, lol). That way a kid or the bad guy that may get ahold of it couldn’t shoot it.
You think braking systems are not fly-by-wire? Watch this video.Just remember, there is a reason automotive braking systems are not fly by wire.
Can you imagine approaching a stop sign and due to a glitch, the control computer reboots/resets for 5 seconds?
Funny story…I trust that about as much as I trust one of those convenience store hot dogs which has been on the rollers for 9-10 days.
Most arent. Most are still master cylinder and mechanical. I wont drive a fancy new car that is testing fly by wire braking. Nope.You think braking systems are not fly-by-wire? Watch this video.

I see what you are saying but it doesn't sound right to me. If he were overriding the brake it should rev exactly when she is pressing the brake pedal. It doesn't sound right and sounds like it revs more when she stops even trying to brake. Of course maybe the sound isn't synchronized well but that screws up the arguments both for and against overriding.Most arent. Most are still master cylinder and mechanical. I wont drive a fancy new car that is testing fly by wire braking. Nope.
But listen closely to that video. the engine is revving. He isnt killing braking, he's overriding the brake by adding throttle. I'd call that a bit of sleight of hand/dishonest journalism to sell the panic. I'm sure if she stood on that pedal it would have stopped.
Many of us have been following this stuff for decades.You, and everyone else, make a good point. Thanks for educating me on it. It is a good idea in theory but now that I’ve been educated more on the topic, not so much.
