Foolproof electronic gun

[xs11jack]

I was just over on GunsAmerica.com and found a article about this smart young man with about 10 or 20 thousand dollars of test equipment. And he bought a Smart un. He found that for a few bucks he could make a signal generator that would block the signal from the watch that is suppose to control the gun. Then he found out that the gun uses an electromagnet to block the firing pin. He went out to the local hardware story and bought 3 1 inch super magnets and glued them to a 6 inch piece of broomstick. Now when he touches the left hand side of the frame where the electromagnet is mounted and the gun will fire as long as the super magnets are on the frame. Real smart.

I believe that foolproof and electronic should not be used in the same paragraph.

I've seen the same video you're talking about. It is a perfect example of how easily the guns can be hacked for lack of better words. I'll never trust my safety or the safety of my loved ones to a smart gun. Add a computer and it's just one more thing that can malfunction or be corrupted when you need it most.

I have been thinking about the hacking thing too. How could anyone fit enough electronics into the handle of a semi-auto that could stop a determined electronics tech or an engineer for that matter. If the russians can hack the DNC, someone with a bit of talent can crack a pistol lock. And for that matter maybe they will find a way to lock the owner out of his own weapon. I will stick to my mechanical devices and my own judgement in a shooting situation.
