First ‘smart’ pistol hits shelves in California.

Useless after and EMP.

Excellent points. I also wonder if this firearm first came out in .22LR instead of a defensive caliber such as 9mm or .40 S&W is because the electronics in the gun are still susceptible to damage from recoil.

The watch is sold separately? So who would buy the gun without the watch?

Wait a minute Mr. Burglar, I need to go put on my watch. Oops, the batteries are low, I mean I need to wind it, now hold on, let me go get the gun out of the safe, wait what?

Your first mistake would be to actually consider purchasing a firearm with any sort of electronic protection. If you need an electronic device to enable it, the government will have the ability to disable it, instantly.

Your second mistake would be to purchase a firearm from a dealer or a store. If you have to fill out a form, you automatically become a target of government agents. If you leave any sort of paper or electronic trail, that information WILL be retained, and ultimately used to hunt you down. The same applies to ammunition, accessories, gunsmithing tools, and bulk reloading equipment and supplies. Pay cash, anonymously.

Your third and final mistake would be to let anyone know what you have, and what it would be used for, if it came down to that. Always keep a potential enemy guessing about your capabilities.

Hopefully, the bad guys will take a time-out while the owner looks for his ‘wrist-watch’ after locating his pistol.

Better to spend your money from good firearms from the pre-safety era.






Then you don't have to worry about computer chips getting you killed.

[Carriage Hill]

Heh; the watch better be on the same hand’s wrist as you’re holding the gun with... Post #80 brings-up a good point. Interesting technology, but so many fail points when analyzed.

[GenXteacher]

No thanks. Either the government will have a way to shut it off, or the bad guys will come up with a way to shut it off. If it were a choice between this and a musket, I’ll take the musket.

Here we see the optic activation sensor being tested.

[Carriage Hill]

At that point, I pity the owner...

[Carriage Hill]

Mr Darwin, clean-up the mess in aisle 11...

[Carriage Hill]

100%.

[humblegunner]

Oh.. just by the way...

The SpamCans contain pristine and perfect ammo.

I finally found a machine shop with heavy equipment to open one...

[Bob]

A real brick would be (at least potentially) more valuable in that situation than a .22.

[Carriage Hill]

My thoughts, too. Like a brick.

[Carriage Hill]

You’re so right about that. 90% of the people I see and know are so plugged-in, it’s scary. I’m part of the less-plugged-in 10%. I take some grief for it, but when TSHTF, it won’t be a systemic shock; just a burp.

[mylife]

Jeez ya just pull the tab...

Well actually I twist and roll it with a heavy pair of needle nose pliers.

[Tijeras_Slim]

Real Soviet snipers didn't need pliers.

[mylife]

I loved that movie! LOL

[Tijeras_Slim]

One of my favorites.
