I think this is a remarkable piece of technology, it allows you to hit targets you can't see... With a Precision Guided Firearm System, the gun can tag a target but even when the shooter pulls the trigger, the bullet will not be fired until the target is correctly sighted. The shooter inputs wind conditions and the gun's ballistic computer takes into consideration target distance, ammunition and barrel condition. The whole movie scenario of shooting around corners is able to be brought to life as the shooter can watch a video of the aim they can't see on a screen that is separate from the gun... What looks like an optical view finder on top of the gun is actually a small camera and the videos can be streamed over WiFi for companies to record/track shooting sessions. However, this aspect is under further development as people aren't sure that the system is safe enough not to be hacked. These rifles cost $10,000 - $20,000 each and the US have purchased 6, they're mainly used for hunting... Lets just say the TrackingPoint Rifle is a dream boy's toy ;)
