I find H0lder to be contemptible.
So, presumably some sort of RFID signal or something similar will (possibly) be at the base of this technology. Just how difficult would it be for a government to produce a blocking frequency rendering such guns unusable?
Require his bodyguards and all fedleos to use these guns before the rest of us...
Really stupid idea. It could only be conceived of by someone who has never depended on a gun to keep themselves alive. First you are relying on 2 battery operated contraptions to communicate. (My wife can’t even depend on her bluetooth ear piece to reliably link with her cell phone.)
What is the shelf life of the battery in the gun?
What is the shelf life of the battery in the watch?
How long will the watch work?
Do you really want to place your life in the hands of two battery operated devices?
Pretty much anything presented as ‘smart (fill in the blank)’ is some lame, substandard, overhyped and underpowered piece of rubbish.
The article absolutely back up the posts I’ve been making about the absurd marriage of TECHNOLOGY with the hand gun.
The batteries are the LEAST of the problem. As a watchmaker I, for one, know what really happens to things worn of the wrist. Severe shocks, dropping, WATER disasters, are only the beginning. Does anyone think that everyone SLEEPS with their watch on? When that door is broken in, good luck finding your gun-watch on the dresser in the dark.
At 10AM the bracelet watch and gun circuit is operating as intended. At 10:45AM the battery runs down to its malfunction voltage and you are dead.
Best of luck if this goes through.

That is the point, not safety. They already have the technology to block the signal.
