1,499 bucks??????? This will do nothing....

[E. Pluribus Unum]

They will mandate it.

[Da Coyote]

Hope it works better than the pretend fingerprint recognition on my iPhone.

Just imagine - you pull your gun to confront a carjacker, or home-invader.

Red light flashes: “fingerprint unable to read...please contact our customer service between 8 and 5 Central time”

[ImJustAnotherOkie]

Less than a second? Is it WIFI or Bluetooth, a wired Ethernet connection may be faster. Probably transmits your fingerprint to the FBI every time you shoot it.

[Telepathic Intruder]

How long does it take the software to recognize the fingerprint and unlock the safety?

[flamberge]

No sale.

The world’s first “smart gun” hit the market Thursday, complete with a life-saving fingerprint unlocking system that prevents “unauthorized” people such as kids and criminals from firing it.

Their advertising campaign should be:

Works everytime, rain or shine. You can bet your life on it, or your money back and a free fully paid for funeral for you and up to four members of your immediate family if it doesn't.

And those that purchase them can still shoot up a school.

Next.

[lowbridge]

I never heard of biofire before, but now I know who to boycott.

“a life-saving fingerprint unlocking system that prevents “unauthorized” people such as kids and criminals from firing it.”

It may even save the life of the criminal when it fails to work for the criminals intended victim.

[LouAvul]

Lemme see. A gun with a battery that could go bad at the worst possible moment, or, simply secure my guns away from prying eyes and curious fingers. Hmm. Whatever should I do?

Pimps like kalifornians might mandate it, but it'll never float in Free America.

[Scrambler Bob]

gun unlocks in less than a second, using either a fingerprint or facial recognition sensor,
= = =

So the perp takes your gun, points it at your face, and it recognizes you and fires, right?

Can the user load up facial images of other ‘selected owners’, so it will only fire at them?

[real saxophonist]

And if one’s hands are bloody from fending off an assault?

The smart gun for not-so-smart people.

life-saving fingerprint unlocking system

Bullshit.

The armed agents of the State are not going to use this junk, and we all know whay.

[Carriage Hill]

Ping.

[BlackAdderess]

Fingerprint readers have problems with sweaty finger tips, yet in a time a stress, you are going to have sweaty finger tips. That’s a problem. Do they have a solution?

[BlackAdderess]

Facial recognition is even worse

[Myrddin]

Absolutely NO. My local DEERS office takes 40 minutes to get the required 80% match of my fingerprint for my CAC card. My phone fingerprint read fails most of the time. In a self defense situation, you have to be able to unholster, get sights on the target and fire in a nominal 1.5 seconds if you hope to prevail. A failed fingerprint match means you are dead and the criminal just scored a crappy $1500 pistol.
