In the world of science fiction, "smart guns” have already gained traction in recent pop culture. But these days, science may be leaving the fiction behind.
Jonathan Mossberg, a developer with iGun Technology, met with tech guru Kurt “CyberGuy” Knutsson to show off their newest breakthrough in the field. This line of “smart guns” would rely on a signal from a specialized ring or watch worn by the shooter to successfully fire.
For those concerned with a controlling government hacking into and disabling your weapon, Mossberg stated that won’t be an issue because his technology doesn’t rely upon Wi-Fi. Instead, it functions on an extremely low range signal that may barely reach over an inch.
“Fox and Friends” featured the gadget alongside an interview with Mossberg which you can see below.
