"Smart" gun will only work in the hands of the owner
If you watched the movie Skyfall, you probably noticed the weapon 007: special gun Walther PPK/S that can recognize the owner's fingerprint. In reality, such weapons do not exist, but recently there was a very similar equivalent. New gun Armatix iP1 also prevents unauthorized shooting by using high technology. Precip work Armatix iP1 is quite simple: the gun only works when you have the "key". Which are the wrist watch with a pin code. When the gun sees the next authorized watch, its indicator turns green — this means that the weapon has been activated and is ready to fire.
Despite the opinion of investors from Silicon valley about the need for the market introduction of the "iPhone among the weapons", there are supporters of smart guns, and their opponents. The former believe that high-tech weaponry will be able to save thousands of lives who die each year from the shots of the stolen guns. And second I believe that such weapons will attract new people, and armed people will be more.
However, there is one argument that would alienate many from the intelligent weapon is its price. For example, the set of the Armatix iP1, which includes the gun and wrist watch will cost 1800 $.
