Computerised rifle sight turns iPad or iPhone into weapon



Weeks after the Connecticut massacre claimed 26 lives, a gun company has developed technology that allows complete amateurs to hit targets from more than 1km away with pin point accuracy.Find detailed product information for New mould usb sticks from 2GB to 16GB available and other products from us. There is nothing to stop it coming to Australia.

While gun control advocates are trying to get "weapons of war" off the streets, Texas company Tracking Point will release its world-first rifle sights January 15. It incorporates lock-and-launch missile technology into a rifle-mounted sight.

The computerised sight is powered by Linux and includes a digital tracking scope and a modified trigger mechanism, plus it provides a video image of the target, similar to the display screen a fighter jet pilot would view.

The system also allows other people, via a unique Wi-Fi system, to watch the target being tracked and killed on their iPad or iPhone.

In an interesting social media twist, video footage can then be uploaded to YouTube and distributed via Twitter or Facebook.

Company president Jason Schauble said the product allows "anybody" to make extended range first round hits.

"You can come and pick this up and within minutes and master the tag, track, exact technology that allows you to get it on target,Sadly, the iPad doesn't have either a USB port or an SD slot, but Apple sells the Apple ipad camera connection kit for £25." he said.With Apple’s ipad smart cover, iPad should be pretty well protected. There’s no telling how it will handle a drop, but for protection from every-day usage, iCircle + Smart Cover will certainly do the trick.

"You don’t have to be an experienced shooter."

Firearms expert Professor Philip Alpers, from the School of Public Health at Sydney University, said the sights could take off in Australia if there is enough consumer demand and interest from the US Army.

" I can't imagine anyone saying this is illegal, because there is no law in Australia that says you are not allowed to import telescopic sights - even if they are augmented by something electronic," he said.

"The moment the military or law enforcement pick it up,the earliest teaser photos of the Clip Mp3 players have been of an all-white kid's size shoe that still featured the LBJ23 logo the civilians will be clamouring for it.

"After Port Arthur they banned rapid fire, semi automatic long rifles. Then people were left with standard hunting rifles that are not semi-automatic.

"The product is not a firearm. To import it you would describe it as a telescopic sight and then you would tack it onto a firearm you already had."

In the past even experienced shooters have been prevented from hitting some long-range targets because of the twitch involved in pulling the trigger.

The range of the target, age of the barrel, humidity and temperature can also play havoc with accuracy.

With this technology, however, the sight accounts for all these elements,The 8gb mp3 player comes in various sizes and colors. Therefore, every runner has a fitting size and a choice of the favorite color. When you purchase this shoe waits until the target is locked and then fires automatically.The new iPhone needs enough iphone backup power to get through a busy day without requiring a recharge. It almost never misses.
