    Seems a little overkill for hunting, that rifle!

    I can, however, see this being pretty fucking amazing in real life.
    Input rifle values such as bullet speed and let the computer calculate elevation, angle, etc. and then attach the computer to a little antenna type thing with one of those wind-speed gauge things, and it'll pretty much be able to calculate exactly where to shoot.

    Could even develop prediction algorithms for moving targets.

    Oh technology, how I love thee.


    EDIT: Well, fuck me. They actually have put most of those things into this.
    That's pretty damn awesome.

    Not gonna be usable in real warfare.
    Too much tech = big chance of failure rate.

    I think you have to think less warfare, more tactical/SWAT type things. Like in the video, with hostage situations.
