I'm really getting sick and tired of every firearm releated article starting with " in the wake of / days after / following the CT newtown massace "

 

Really now....

 

 

 

And, this technology has been out for ages already, just because they moved the platform from a laptop computer to an ipad / iphone really isnt that landmark breaking. Just the media trying to make it seem everybody with a iphone now is a baby killer.

 

I hate this planet.

HorusVision has had software for PDA's going back around 6-7 years, there was an I=phone app that did almost the same thing within a month of the I-Phone being introduced, there are a number of Android ballistic programs...this is NOTHING NEW

Correct me if I'm wrong, but it seemed to pull the trigger or something. Saw something attached to the trigger. Unless it was just some sort of sensor. Also, unlike Horus and a couple others, also seems like it locks in and basically tells ya when to fire.

 

As for the way it opened, I posted this just to change the atmosphere around here and to look at technology. Not get yaz fired up over recent gun crap. Take a deep breath.

I didn't take Alec's post as dig at you at all, but the media and how they will spin something to make it look the best for ratings, after all a good story about anything, especially firearms will never be told, or a quick little blurb at best and if you blink you would have missed it.

 

Now as far as technology, well I like gadgets as much as the next guy, but I really don't see improvements for firearms in that regard, at lest not in my lifetime. Now I understand you may say, look at how far we have come in a short period of time. I agree, I grew up with just a few channels on TV, we had a remote control, that was me when mom or dad said get off yer ass and put xx channel on, etc.. But I feel adding anything to a firearm that added another layer of potential failure even if it's .000001% is not a risk I feel is good for any HD/SD, LEO,or any other lawful protection scenario. I'd even go as far as saying, I'd hate to get a FTE in a USPSA match or zero a stage due to time because I need to Re-Boot my gun..

I didn't take it as a dig either. My comment was based upon 'coming up for air' and just converse about something other than all the problems at hand. Break up the monotony if you will. Things are too tense right now and it's not healthy to stay in that mode continuously. Hence, just some chatter about something different.

LOL! the ipad or "smart phone" doesn't actually do anything! In this case, it's simply streaming the video. Has to be the most misleading headline. IIRC these scopes have been around for a while now, watched videos almost a year ago on these exact scopes.
