Smartguns

Integrated WiFi 6, Bluetooth 5.0 with NFC and always online DRM that re-authenticates every 30 minutes.

Probably more of a range toy than anything and not super practical. Minor things like that might work, but internally it will continue to be the same mechanical design due to practicality reasons. We will probably have railguns or lasers before computers see consistent use in personal firearms.

You can't, guns are perfect as they are.

It can be done but it must not handle any function critical to firing of the weapon so that in case it fails, you'll have the base functionality of a gun in tact.

Add a big fucking laser to it so it blinds whoever you point it at before you shoot them.

holy shit why don't police use this already it would solve so many problems

put a raspberry pi on the 1913 rail

I can't wait to take remote control of cop guns and make people freak out.

> lock if they are
Why not make the barrel turn toward the user instead?

Because the criminal would have to be facing the direction of the gun, and also because blindness is permanent while bullet wounds aren't.

Anything to increase the rate of fire without infringing federal law

So, Jewish?

That's very anti-semitic of you, user.

A picatinny optic with a fuckton of counterweights all over it that automatically adjusts to aim at whatever you're trying to shoot

Automatically lock the gun if the user is underage and/or it's around a school.

It's called Psycho Pass.

I dunno death is pretty permanent. The whole point of killing someone is so they can't sue you.

hooooly shit toppest of keks

Honestly guns have pretty much peaked, there is only so much you can do with explosive powder shooting metal cones. Everything from here on out is bloatware.

what about the camera attachment for the gun and the turning gun to shoot around corners?

well i guess in improving something you first have to find out where it is not good. guns jam due to mechanical reasons so if these problems could be detected by a computer before they actually jam it that would be good. they also are very mechanical in their aim if a computer could assist the trajectory of the bullet then that would improve them too.

then the final one is obviously guns put the people that are using them at grave danger so if you could teach a computer to fully operate the gun then that is the ultimate weapon.

I'd improve technology with firearms by shooting those who prevent real technological improvement.

Guns can improve but it's either in small incremental ways (caseless ammunition, tweaks to various cartridges, lighter weight alloy construction) or would require a large technological leap elsewhere (truly effective gyrojet weapons, man portable railguns, laser rifles, etc)

smartguns are ok under one condition, they are completly offline, no wireless conectivity at all, once programed to work with certain biometrics the verification process is only internal and cannot be overriden by anyone, it's essentialy just like a normal gun but it verifies it's owner and can't be forced to fire or not to fire based on anything but the pull of the trigger of a verified owner

its a policy department duh

how can you not have watched the other guys until now, do it

You will make your guns less reliable if you stick smart shit to it. For something like a scope range finder functionality would be nice i guess but i'm not sure since i don't know how to use gunz.

>how do you improve firearms with technology Jow Forums?
Materials science. Technology use in design and manufacturing is the only way, adding "technology" to firearms will degrade them.

>a weapon meant for defending yourself in a life-or-death situation

Friend got fried with one of those fancy Taser guns during road rage argument, fell and cracked two teeth after hitting ground. Taser guy just slowly drove off.

Shit works pretty nice but single shot or two shots is not enough.

You 3d print them?

Self adjusting sights with round counters, range finders, inclinometers, digital night vision, and usb-c video feed out. We could have all this now.

I'm convinced the purpose of IoT is take things that already work well enough and make them as bloated, inefficient, unreliable and expensive as possible.

so niggers could still hold women and cashiers at gunpoint while doing the nigging
i agree

Plsma rifles like in Fallout

How about you don't? More points of failure is the last fucking thing guns need.

huh?

Plus, it would be unfortunate to run out of battery while needing your firearm

>The whole point of killing someone is so they can't sue you
are you 12? or just american...

>>let me show you how to kill a child without terminating the parent
this thread got dark pretty quickly

In tanks for example, they have mechanical back ups for everything in case of failure.
You can fallback to regular sights if the smart shit fails, you can manually traverse the turret if that fails and there is a manual way to fire, if the electronic trigger fails.
So if you make a smart firearm with that mindset, it shouldn’t be a problem.

justs ordered 1000 sexual activity sensors from alibaba

Trigger with fingerprint detector. Accelerometer to avoid acidental shots on fall.

>Computers are extremely unreliable
Yet the whole society rely on them.

I have a better ideea, lock the fire selector on full auto to make sure the user dosen't miss.

Fighting a burglar will make it far more likely to get murdered thought

credit card style system where to use it the gun company must authorize your use of the firearm. It should take no longer than a second or two though.

That's objectively untrue. Firearms have the lowest injury rate in a self-defense scenario including over fleeing.

nap.edu/read/18319/chapter/3#15
>Studies that directly assessed the effect of actual defensive uses of guns (i.e., incidents in which a gun was “used” by the crime victim in the sense of attacking or threatening an offender) have found consistently lower injury rates among gun-using crime victims compared with victims who used other self-protective strategies (Kleck, 1988; Kleck and DeLone, 1993; Southwick, 2000; Tark and Kleck, 2004).

how does that even work? also, how would you implement a round counter for other types of firearms?

>what is ultrasonic fingerprint scanner
Even phones are using them now.

Electronic rail guns are the next advancement. Too big and heavy for hand guns though.

They said the same about cars and planes, and yet here we are... there's no limit to human hubris

ID Lock like in Metal gear Rising.
Weapons can only be fired by their owner. This can be done by a real-time dna check or finger/retina scan encrypted in a Secure Enclave on the weapon.

No need to phone home but still secure.

Near-lightspeed antimatter penetrator shells.

Only this will make Americans feel safe; guns aren't powerful enough for "self defence" otherwise.

rgb guns when?

A gun is a tiny, hyperfocused tool. It does exactly one thing, it propels shit forward at high speeds.
Planes, cars and tanks are fuckhuge and have to do a shitton of things in a veriety of situations. There is nothing to change about a gun, just as there's nothing to change about a hammer. At best, you can improve what you already have, maybe even on a fundamental level. But all in all, it'll still work the exact same.
It's like with razors. We invented safety razors and they are pretty much the perfect tool for the job. Then we kept tinkinering to invent shit like electric or cartridge razors and they are all just plain worse at doing the same thing, even though so much more technology and innovation went into them.

I would put a GPS in every gun so authorities can easily track where all the guns are at all times. If the gun is somewhere it shouldn’t be, than authorities should be noticed. Also, I would put a fingerprint sensor in the gun’s trigger so only the gun’s owner can use it and not some thief. I would also attach a camera to where the gun is pointed and use artificial intelligence to make sure that it isn’t shooting at something it isn’t supposed to, like a human or an endangered species.

You are full of shit. Computer guided weapons platforms are in widespread military use today.

Its just not for standard infantry yet

Lmao wtf

>We invented safety razors and they are pretty much the perfect tool for the job. Then we kept tinkinering to invent shit like electric or cartridge razors and they are all just plain worse at doing the same thing
What? Electric razors are the best razors you moron. You shave like a child. I can't imagine that you have to shave more than once a day.

This. Adding additional complexity without any significant payoff is stupid.

Computer vision so it knows if it's pointed at me and disables hah.

>*EMPs your techno-gun*
That takes orders of magnitude more energy than to shoot a person and thus isn't actually simple - just saying.

Add a barrel facing the other direction. If you try to fire it without proper credentials, it shoots you in the face instead.

Heckler and Koch had it all figured out back in 1977. Caseless ammunition, high cyclic rate, shoot three rounds until the recoil even hits you and lifts the barrel, 150 rounds standard load on one rifle.

Nobody wanted it. Everybody wants guns to be large and clunky and awkward and make lots of noise plus generate tons of recoil. People want the whole "go bang!" experience instead of technology.

Caseless ammunition still doesn't work well for military use...

Military these days is just people sitting behind joysticks and flying drone attacks on towelheads anyways. Maybe 1 in a hundred people in the military maybe picks up an actual gun once in his career.

By selling them on Amazon.

Cars are still mostly mechanical and the last time a plane company tried implementing a new system like 100 people died.

wasn't there a linux theme literally called dark as my soul or something of that effect?

Obviously. But in the instance of, I don't know, a nuclear strike, you wouldn't want your gun to be BTFO, now would you?
