Armatix GmbH: Smart System - Future or foe?

24" and less, a place to discuss all things handgun related, section 7.3. Long barrelled revolvers, long barrelled pistols and section 5. Overseas contributions are more than welcome.

If a firearm fitted with this technology could be accepted as a S1 then the gun can go home with you just as any other. As for only you using it, nobody has stipulated that, I see no reason why you as the authorised owner couldn't lend it to another shooter in exactly the same way you'd let a fellow club member have a go on your AR straight pull, the only difference being you'd have to give them a watch to wear too! And the need for the strict supervision is negated by the whole concept of the system.

I can see the point you're making but at the same time I see it's limitations and am also of the opinion that we shouldn't be making things any more difficult ourselves.

If you're convinced by the concept write to your MP or another appropriate one, outline the benefits and make your case.

Your call.

Yep, did that about 3 weeks ago and asked him to make contact with Damien Green about the whole concept of smart guns being included as S1. Been away with work for a few weeks so hopefully there will be a letter from the HoC when I get back?

I also sent a letter to the BSSC who got back to me within 48hrs of it being posted, and I understand it is on the agenda for this Wednesday's Technical & Research Committee meeting.

If I get any feedback I'll post it here.

Fingers crossed you don't get them made mandatory for what we currently have!

That would be a disaster! But then fighting that might unify the whole shooting community in one common cause?
