New smart guns....

[Meanderer]

Once I realized that this is an old thread and that the PDF file almost put me to sleep, I remembered that the police had been experimenting with a handgun that could only be fired by the officer who was wearing an accompanying ring on his firing hand that unlocked his weapon. It would prevent the perp from taking his weapon and using it. Not sure what the results were.

A smart gun would be one that decides not to fire when it senses that the shooter is a nutter or a criminal.

Smart guns hell... what we need to be worried about falling into the wrong hands are these suckers.... smart BULLETS!!!!

‘Smart’ bullets look set to join guided missiles in the military’s growing arsenal of high-tech weapons.

The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) recently conducted its first successful live-fire tests of 0.50-caliber bullets capable of “in-flight guidance.” This means that even if a sniper’s aim is off, the bullets can still reach their intended target.

Part of DARPA’s Extreme Accuracy Tasked Ordnance (EXACTO) program, the specially designed bullets are tracked and directed to their target by an optical guidance system. The system compensates for factors such as weather, wind and target movement, according to DARPA.

A video posted on the DARPA website shows a round heading towards a rifle aim point, then maneuvering in mid-flight to hit its intended target.

Fund.ed by DARPA, EXACTO is being developed by Thousand Oaks, California.-based Teledyne Scientific and Imaging. The program aims to revolutionize rifle accuracy.
