TrackingPoint isn't just making a “smart gun”, they are making a “Precision Guided Firearm.”
It has a computerized scope that provides a hunter with metrics like wind speed, incline, temperature, distance to target and more. You can even stream the scope to an iPhone, so more experienced hunters can help younger hunters with spotting, by being able to see exactly what they’re seeing...but through the shooter's scope, not a separate optic.
It's more like a HUD for missiles in a fighter jet than a gun. It's difficult to miss.
For all the cultural mullahs looking for something to complain about, relax. It's a bolt-action not a so-called "assault weapon", and it costs $17,000, a price point that is only for the people who intend to live a long time.
Here is video of NBCNews.com's Wilson Rothman, transformed by technology from no experience to hitting a target at almost 700 yards.
