We don't need smarter guns. We need smarter people. Until they solve that problem, I'd rather have a dumb gun.

CPT Jack Durish - Captain; "Speaking professionally" I'd rather have a "dumb gun" run by a "smart gunner" than have a "smart gun" run by a "dumb gunner".

[Of course having a "smart gun" run by a "smart gunner" beats the crap out of having a "dumb gun" run by a "dumb gunner".]

I don't like the idea at all. Electronics all fail at some point, and usually before the mechanics in a firearm do. Batteries need to get changed. Conditions outside the lab mean it may not work when it did while being tested in the lab. And let's not forget our ever-faithful friend: Murphy (the Murphy Laws). All in all I wouldn't even consider this unless it came with a mechanical override.

Great until it is hacked and they don't work.....If it has electronics it is open to liability.
