Linux powered rifle



The PGF isn't just a fancy scope on top of a rifle. All together, the PGF is made up of a firearm, a modified trigger mechanism with variable weighting, the computerized digital tracking scope, and hand-loaded match grade rounds (which you need to purchase from TrackingPoint). This is a little like selling both the razor and the razor blades, but the rounds must be manufactured to tight tolerances since precise guidance of a round to a target by the rifle's computer requires that the round perform within known boundaries.




I want one.

Meh, it doesn't have a shoulder thingy that goes up.  Not interested.  I'm sure 87% of the ARFCom Snipers can outshoot this thing anyways.

Since a standard .338 Laupa shoots $5 bills I'm thinknig $15-$20 a shot.

Needs an auto turret type mount for the whole gun where I can shoot it by using the Ipad app.

That's just one more device to add in to the system, probably wouldn't be hard to do.

must be why they use iPads and iPhones for the displays.

Huh.

And iPads and iPhones run a version of freebsd.

Sounds like the targeting system used in the Abrams.

Always funny to listen to the mac haters who don't even know that Macs run Unix.

For those who don't know, Linux is like a poor aftermarket knockoff of the OS that Macs run...

You, uh, have that backwards.

MacOS is, under the hood, a *nix derivative.

Actually it's a certified *Unix* itself -- not "*nix".  Linux is a poor aftermarket knockoff of a Unix derivative.  

Not backwards.
