    Just watched this doco. If you've got the time it's an interesting point of view of it in action.

    Watched it, it its specs it automaticy adjusted for everything including wind, i thought how does a lazer do that?
    Then later in the vid the brother said you still have to make your own wind call.

    Yip, and they still gut shot a few animals, even shot that pig through ''the rear shoulders'' and missed the 1000y target all due to wind. All the technology in the world can't beat experience when it comes to shooting, especially in the wind.

    Basically its a an advanced version of the Burris Eliminater scope with an electronic trigger and nothing more...but I'd hate to imagine the price tag?

    That's a very good point you're making there. Exactly why would you need to 'paint' the target with a dot electronically (have a computer track that) and then stall the shot. Is this better than simply using a cross hair and developing good trigger control??

    Its another case of developing answers to problems that would have ironed themselves out with practice.

    Take something very simple,make it very complicated so it only half works how you want it to, and ultra expensive ,then try to iron out the issues.So it ends up worse off than the simple solution but still ultra expensive.

    All I see is very rough and sloppy rifle fundamentals.

    Well it's getting worse

    Combine Tracking Point on the firearm with Google Glass.



    Shooter must wear a tactical beard though for it to work properly.

    I agree with that Neckshot. Anything that means a grunt doesn't have to stand immediately in front of the fuzzy wuzzies has got to be a good thing. Now for a long range bayonet.
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms
