Calm down to a frenzy, I am quite comfortable living in the UK and not owning a firearm. I have however used firearms since I was a teenager, I have used firearms in combat and I can guarantee you there is no shortage of privately owned weapons in the UK, all in the hands of criminals. Are US firearms laws too lax? Sure they are. Would I own and carry in Uk if I was allowed? Damn right  :old:

Danny - I like your stance on many things -  knew that right from the start on the old blueberry board.  Thanks for the candor.

 Guns are a useful tool and gun prohibitions can kill too.

It is better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it.  :aok

WTF does any of this have to do with the topic? Why does every decent conversation regarding the shooting sports get deflected into a gun control debate and why do we allow it by responding to the guy trying to ruin the thread?

I like the retical although I think they need to be a tad thinner.

For those of you who have a problem with guns, please stay out of this thread.  All you can do is get yourself banned from the board by violating the posting rules.

Yep.  I just like the retical.   They can keep everything else.

With this thing, why even bother carrying it around?  This could be the beginning of the next generation of hunting technology.

This thing clearly doesn't need to be carried around by a person.  They should just mount it on some kind of silent running RC ATV and send it out to the desired location.  When something pops up on infrared, have it notify the hunter via SMS and they can call up the video feed on their smart phone and decide to take the shot or not.  Hell, with the image recognition it seems to have, it could probably be tweaked to identify game and only send the message if it's the correct species.

With proper software, you could hunt from the convenience of your cubicle.  Wouldn't even need to take time off work.

What a world we live in.

(Sort of want, but not for the price... ;))

Interesting technology.

Why does it do a tag then fire when your aim point meets the tag point rather then just fire when placing the tag in the first place?  That part, I don't understand well.

I would assume so you are sure you're happy with your placement, otherwise you'd cancel the shot.
