Smart gun will put fingerprint, facial recognition technology to work

The Biofire Smart Gun features both built-in fingerprint and infrared facial recognition technology that only permits use by "authorized" individuals, according to the company.

This is going to be a disaster.

Tell the bad guy:

"Hold on, I gotta log into my gun."

Marsha needs to buy stock in this company and mandate it for Massachusetts.

Yup faceID works “mostly”…unless it’s dark or I’m wearing a hoodie or not straight on

And I have not been able to get good prints for almost 15 years now. Drove the poor lady at the FRB nuts.

Oh look, they're located in Boston.
What a shocker.

If I wouldn't trust my life on a biometric safe, do you really think I would trust a biometric gun?

 

[RumRunner]

Does a biometric gun need to be stored securely? Or is it by nature secure? hmmmm

 

[TLB]

Yeah, f*** that!

 

[Sparky123]

No thanks, I already have plenty of hi-tech toys.

US ‘smart gun’ which opens with facial recognition fails during demonstration

Colorado-based Biofire Tech is taking orders for a smart gun enabled by facial-recognition technology, the latest development in personalised weapons that can only be fired by verified users. Kai Kloepfer fires a prototype of the Biofire weapon at the shooting range of the company's Colorado...

So if the technology is as reliable as they'd lead you to believe, what police departments are adopting this technology?

Once these "smart guns" are released, it will be a matter of hours before there is a YouTube video on how to bypass the biometric system and fire it like a normal gun.

If there was a gun for reptile this is it

 

[bigred460]

I'll put that in the same column with EV's.

 

[ThePreBanMan]

I wonder how it works with gloves....

This is America. Build a better mousetrap, yada yada.

I wish these people well. I hope they get rich.

Maybe it serves some customer who needs to keep their derelict brother-in-law from accessing a weapon.

But nfw should these be mandatory. Hopefully we're beyond that.

I'd never buy one

 

[Dadstoys]

I wouldn't own that POS tech but have a friend who has a biometric safe and the damn thing works about one out of three time .
F*ck that noise.

 

[CMEBoston]

I hope they go bankrupt

 

[Animal357]

Lets force the FBI to replace all their handguns with the smartgun and base our judgment on their results

If cuckold was a picture in the dictionary

 

[42!]

I have no problem with people wanting a smart gun.
I have a BIG problem with anyone telling me I have to have one, and we know that's were this is headed.

 

[Matt_SERE]

I hope they go bankrupt

"Not gonna happen" They have 'cuz gunz' money.

 

[Glockster30]

I can't get it in a real caliber such as .40 or .45, so I'm out!

 

[Glockster30]

Oh look, they're located in Boston.

Eczema leaves my finger too dry for printscan. Right thumb is unreadable.

Why do EV's dirty like that?

 

[JDL]

That is one f up looking pistol.

The good scanners take pictures.

Dont post pictures of your hands online

I heard fish oil works well on moisturizing hands.

Not sure what it is with mine but seems to be a combination of dry skin (aka old) and working with my hands all the time. Could be side effect of Addison’s but I never bothered to check because it’s not an everyday thing.

Printscan - nope both FRB and Foster had to settle for “mush” on their screens.

Data centers I visit have stop trying. They give me a badge with no biometrics and I turn it in when I leave every visit.

Clear - no less than a half dozen reps have tried to print me. Invariable fall back to iris scans

DoD - had issues to but finally got “ok” prints with old fashioned ink pad a paper (that was 15 years ago now, no idea if it would still work).

There always seems to be that one guy/girl who says “no I can make it work”and thinks they have a magic touch with Lotion they let soak in… usually leaves disappointed after 15 minutes or so.

I’ve gotten to the point where I start with “you’re welcome to try…but”

 

[Uzi2]

I don't want anything introducing any doubt as to whether a gun is going to fire when I pull the trigger.

Not just no, but HELL NO.

I've never heard a squeaky fish, so it must work!

I think it's a combination of the quality of the machine and the skill of the operator.

In January I had to get scanned for my Texas paramedic license. The lady had no problem getting a good scan.

In March, I had to get scanned for my Texas LTC. The young guy running that machine had the hardest time getting a decent set of prints. He submitted them, but wasn't sure if DPS would want a rescan. They didn't and I got my TX LTC without any issue.

It's also so Texas that it took about three weeks to get a LTC and three months to get a paramedic license.
