A new application has been launched for the iPod touch to help gun users line up a clean shot at their target.
The BulletFlight app, which costs £6.99 to download from the iTunes store, has been developed by Runaway App to turn the iPod touch into a ballistics computer which the company says can provide quick solutions in the field.
Users can mount their iPod touch to their rifle, and then use the iPods touch-screen to tap in details about the wind conditions, ammunition type, distance to the intended target and even the wind speed.

It plays rap music at the enemy until he just kills himself.

Or, you could learn how to read the wind, practice, and laugh at the guy playing with the iPod while you shoot.

If you look around on Google, you will also find an app for blackberry (I don’t think it is for the Ipod) that functions as a sound driven chronometer. It listens for the initial boom and the corresponding hit in the paper target and calculates the velocity by sound. Cool. Not sure what the name is...
To: Joiseydude
A good rifleman should know this stuff before the target is in the sights IMHO

This is too cool, I can’t believe Apple of all companies would allow this.
Don’t they have a pretty solid track record for being on the left side of things?

At least it’s lighter than the manual typewriter soldiers had to hang off their M1 Garands in WWII.
