Now they just gotta give it automated tracking and put it on a vehicle. And give it to Bruce Willis.

Holy shit. Wait until the military gets their hands on this. Or reveals that they've had it for years.

It's not feasible to be used on an infantry level. A kestrel meter and some quick algebra on a hand calculator by a sharpshooter with the training can do everything this does for far less.
For anything other than a sniper assassination, it'd be more efficient to throw twenty thousand bucks worth of munitions and ordnance at the target.

Won't somebody please think of the poor aminals? ima crey mane rip From the description: All of the animals in this video were harvested in accordance with hunting ethics and South African law. The hunting party ate the meat and preserved the trophy from each animal. Extra meat was donated or sold to local villages and restaurants. Nothing was wasted. The ethical and humane harvesting of game is very important to TrackingPoint and at no time did the hunting party ever wound and fail to recover an animal. These species thrive in this environment solely because of hunters, for the purpose of hunting.

I guess that's better. You should read the comments from the MANLY MEN on that video. I've never hunted before, but I imagine that the whole point of is to enjoy slow stalking your prey and then when you get the kill you feel awesome because you worked really hard for it. The TrackPoint kinda takes all the fun out of it.
