More technology in it than the lunar module.

Holy kaka!

At this time, TrackingPoint indicated that it has no intention of producing a PGF system for anything other than bolt-action rifles.

Love the attempt to dissemble...

Yeah, I don't think JFK is buying that line of thought... Just own it. It is a tool - the use of it is determined by the meat-bag behind it.

 

[frenchman]

Want!

 

[DrRansom]

And to think that I could have been working on a project like that instead of making venture capitalists in this shithole rich... [sad2]

Target acquisition for small-arms defense. Could use on surface-to-air missiles to shoot down the drones.

$17k will get you a lot of shooting lessons....

Just doesn't have the same instant gratification though

If only it came in .50BMG and I had one a huge lottery jackpot.

 

[ivarr]

I'LL TAKE IT !!!!

 

[SR556]

No thanks, I could buy 4 lowers with that.

I was thinking along the same lines. Awesome Linux rifle or M&P-15... hmmmmm...

 

[NickW85]

No thanks, I could buy 4 lowers with that.

Is that the discounted price from $5k/lower?

 

[TZCHRIS]

I have some great ideas on photoshoping this but that might not be wise.

 

[RadiCS]

Awesome!

We need a windows 8 version. Can you imagine what happen when BSOD hit?

Isn't a .338 a bit of overkill for a tiny little white tail?

Well, you could go for 300 Win Mag

 

[GaryW]

Anyone want to start a group buy? I'm sure we can get a quantity discount !!

Great find!!

that would be a riot, just as you got target acquired it goes with blue screen of death or needs to download an important update and restart. Never mind that if it determined that this is not a "genuine" version, it would refuse to fire.

aren't the electronic triggers are illegal per ATF fun spoilers or may be it doesn't count here since it's bolt action. Serious question though.

 

[cekim]

My guess is that they have a lockout, not a solenoid control, but the "electronic trigger" thing often goes back to the minigun/Gatling gun decision which is a different issue as it fires continuously once pressed.

Not clear to me yet, but I haven't needed too figure it out...

The law is more than one shot per trigger pull, there is nothing in the law about electrical or not, but I would certainly look harder into that before I did it.

Hi Linux Rife tech support, this is Vishnu?..

Fixed that

 

[George D]

Fixed that

Did you try unplugging the acquisition screen and plugging it back in?
