US military is testing gun that could turn ANYONE into an ace sniper

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


The US military is testing a radical ‘smart rifle’ that can automatically aim itself, it has been revealed.

The army is believed to have acquired six $27,000 ‘smart rifles’ from Texas firm Tracking Point.

It uses a built in computer to aim at a target, and can even ‘lock on’ top targets and automatically track them.

The U.S. military has begun testing several so-called smart rifles made by TrackingPoint, which include computer controlled scopes and their own app
‘The military has purchased several units for testing and evaluation purposes,’ he said during an interview with Military​.com at the annual SHOT Show, the country’s largest gun show with 60,000 attendees.

The system includes a Linux-powered computer in the scope with sensors that collect imagery and ballistic data such as atmospheric conditions, cant, inclination, even the slight shift of the Earth’s rotation known as the Coriolis effect.



HOW TO SHOOT LIKE A SNIPER

A laser rangefinder is used by the shooter looking through the scope to identify the target that he or she wants to hit.

The high-tech sight then takes into account humidity, wind and the typical ballistic drop you’d expect from a bullet fired over such a distance.

Once the target has been selected, the scope provides cross-hairs which have to be lined up with the pin that is dropped on the target.

To ensure accuracy, the shooter can not even squeeze the trigger unless the cross-hairs and pin are alined.

Oren Schauble, a marketing official with the Austin, Texas-based company, confirmed the military bought a handful of them in recent months for evaluation.

The smart rifle is packed with sensors and it own computer to control the firing process.
