Meet the 'gun with brains'
|
Pretoria inventor Nic van Zyl has developed what may be the world?s first "intelligent firearm", a handgun that can be operated only by its rightful owner. It could make criminal abuse of firearms a thing of the past
It looks like a cross between a sci-fi raygun and an industrial high-pressure cleaning device. Bulky and block-like, it displays none of the black-metal menace inherent in most civilian firearms, and frankly, it is not a thing of beauty. Somehow, I don't expect that this guy has conquered the reliability problems that are really critical. Or, in other words, it's easy to make a gun that doesn't work, it's making it work when required, every time, that's tricky. |
