Caliber does not matter in self-defense??Have you looked at these guns firsthand?? I have, they are just a 22 Long rifle cartridge. Not acceptable for self-defense. Sure they are in the developmental stage but that's unacceptable right now.As soon as they work properly, affordable... But to be honest I don't see that happening, if huge companies such as Apple and Samsung can't get a simple fingerprint reader to work worth a shit, I don't see any point in it.Has it occurred to you that smart guns would be additional sales?
But they do work. All guns fail.
Robert Spitzer, a SUNY Cortland political science professor and author of The Politics of Gun Control (whom Hayes brought in after Pratt to talk about the issue), said in order for the Armatix iP1 gun to be sold in California, it had to pass a reliability test.
"The standard was a 99 percent successful fire rate, which it met (fire 600 times with 6 or fewer failed discharges)," Spitzer said.
Others stressed that all guns are prone to failure at some point. The mechanical failure rate is often given as 1 in 1,000, and a military weapon’s failure rate is closer to 1 in 10,000, Sebastian said.
"Misfire is embedded in our language," he said.
The smart gun function is just another part to fail on the mechanical device, I really don't see any point for it.
I will stick to the traditional firearm.
If it ain't broke don't fix it...
Not acceptable? In the vast majority of defenses a shot isn't fired. Caliber doesn't matter unless you are trying to sell more expensive ammo.You are as stupid as a bag of hammers if you think that.
Please educate yourself on the matter before you speak… Dumbass
What ammo is more expensive, .22 or .40? That is really what it is about.
