Linux based marksman rifles

This seems really cool. They must have beefed up the security on the WIFI. You wouldn't want a terrorist hacking into your rifle and shooting it for you.

I've been around Tracking point before and you still have to pull the trigger. It's not a drone that is wirelessly controlled.

 

The scope will mark and follow a target. Basically giving you a 'cheat mode' to hit the target when fired.

I saw this a while ago. It won't catch on, have you seen the price tag £12,000 for a scope no thanks. Besides why exactly do we need guns. Infact why do we even need armies. Who exactly are threatened by.........terrorists, terrorists don't even exist. Our governments just call a minority of people terrorists to suit their own gains, the only reason why a small group of normal people called the Taliban and Al Qaeda are bombing our country is because we occupied their country and are bombing their citizens for absolutely no reason. maybe we should stop spending crazy amount of money on weapons and come together to venture into space. I am pretty sure everyone even the Taliban would agree with me when I say that going to different planets is pretty damn cool. We could go around like in Star Trek and stuff by now if we would just stop killing each other over something as stupid as oil, money and land. There is infinite land guys in space derr, money can be printed off easily and oil is only a single means of producing energy how about using nuclear fission, you know the energy that is completely clean, self sustaining and produces crazy amounts of energy. 

 

"Space the final Frontier, where no man has gone before"       Sounds pretty good to me.

Whoa, whoa...Men will always fight with men in space or not. and lasers hurt more than bullets...

We could use out lasers to kill other aliens instead of killing our own species. It doesn't make any sense to me why two humans would want or even need to kill one another. Maybe I'm just too stupid to understand why people kill each other. Although I have never hated anyone and probably never will.

Self-destruction is human nature. The last few centuries of history is proof enough.

When faced with the decision of "Kill this person or be killed yourself," it's easy to predict the choice that most people will make, even if the right decision is the selfless one.

Yea but if no one wants to kill then there would be no reason to kill in self-defense know would there. Anyway when exactly is America in threat of being destroyed by anyone. No one is my answer so where is the self-defense. I consider myself to quite a selfish person. In fact I am not a very nice person all together but even I know that murder has the same outcome as killing in self-defense. There are victims on both sides. If you kill in self-defense the families of the person you killed will have their lives changed forever and vise versa. If I was in that situation though I wouldn't hesitate to put a pike through someones skull but that is the type of person I am, it doesn't make it right though. Still if no one was in that situation it would be better.

There will ALWAYS be someone willing to kill for no reason whatsoever, leading to retaliation, and further retaliation; it's an endless cycle of violence and it only takes a single action to start it. The world isn't a perfect fairyland where everything is jolly and innocent. 

Also the US (and frankly, most countries) makes decisions based on paranoia. The fear of being attacked is a stronger motivational factor than actually being attacked. It defies logic, but then again, humans don't always make decisions based on logic. 

 

An idealistic view will get crushed to oblivion by the real world.

Living in a word with nature means that natural laws apply. There is not an infinite amount of supplies, there are arguing opinions, and populations need to fluctuate. Therefore violence will always occur.

Then all we need to do was start from when communism took off from. Build up and infect a country with your ideology, kill everyone who disagrees with you in that country, make that country so strong that no one can stand up to you even when they are combined, invade every other country and kill everyone who disagrees with you. From there you just need to maintain a utopian society of good will. The proteriate of the dictatorship will fade out in due course although this would require a single individual who lives for at least 500 years. Well I am sure there will be a way soon to live for 500 years just about. Sounds like a good plan know all I need is some miracle anti-aging drugs. I haven't had this much of an intellectually great conversation in half a year with my History teacher. I really do enjoy it, please keep going.

Communism, really?

 

Human nature won't allow for that either. Remember the USSR? Yeah. 

No human being is content with an equal share. They always, always want more than their peers. Why do you think global/US wealth inequality exists? Because a few people decided they wanted more than everyone else in the rest of the world, and royally fucked them over. 

Also, killing everyone who disagrees with an ideology is akin to a dictatorship. Humanity is diverse: there will never, ever, EVER be a single ideology that works for everyone. Case in point, every argument and debate over every possible topic going on in the world right now. 

 

Believe me, more than anything, I wish for a world where everything was perfect and idealistic. But I also realize it's pointless and feeble-minded to hope for something that perfect. The reality is that there is no hope. You simply put up with the world as it is, or take measures to protect yourself from it.

I never said follow a communist ideology. Just finish what they started. You know the process of creating and spreading an ideology. I did explain it in the last post. Communism is stupid in my opinion because it doesn't reward those that try harder or succeed more which is fundamentally important in human society. Besides it was a bit of a rambling ideological farce to be honest. I didn't agree with anything I said it was just rambling. I do believe strongly  though that everyone should just get along and stop being asses to one another. All we need to do is educate people and then we can start voting in intelligent people who actually know what they are doing instead of electing parties that are only out to get what they want which usually consists of money, money and more money.

Infact why do we even need armies.

Because wars will happen, to think otherwise is insanity.

World Trade Center ring a bell?

 

Our governments just call a minority of people terrorists to suit their own gains, the only reason why a small group of normal people called the Taliban and Al Qaeda.

Terrorists are a minority, they are only a few people that are insane enough to be terrorists. also, remember that the taliban attacked first.

 

 

bombing their citizens for absolutely no reason.

That statement is just wrong.

[JAKEBAB]

Isnt this the same type of thing that was in the movie Shooter?

[Kick]

communism is an idiodicy.

[Scheer]

Old news to be honest, it has been talked about for years and was functional over a year ago at SHOT show.

 

And where did you get WIFI controlled from...?

 

Not quite as capable, but here are a few similar scopes: http://www.thetruthaboutguns.com/2013/01/foghorn/new-from-trijicon-ccas-auto-adjusting-riflescope/ and http://www.burrisoptics.com/eliminatorIII.html

 

There is another one that I can't think of the name of... about $5k USD and auto adjusts for range and windage.

[jukki]

There will always be armies as long as someone has an army. Now if every country suddenly decide together that fighting is pointles and disband their armies only then we could have armles world. Its the who has the bigest toys competion.

Read the reports on the World Trade center and then tell me the Taliban where responsible or the Al Qaeda.

Marx's communism, Stalin's communism was an abomination imo.

I'm not going to go far into this, the US was not responsible for 9/11.
