HK P2000 with RFID chip inside grip!?!?!?

An RFID chip in a gun is an ultimate fantasy for the anti crown and our worst nightmare.

Combine that with firing pin ID and bullet marking, they won't have to take our guns, they'll be useless and irrelevant. Another end run around the intent of the Constitution.

They'll probably sell it as a safety feature.
 
If it was a RFID chip I would take it out, place it on a target, and then shoot it with the gun. That should provide enough irony for myself.
 
Basically, what that means is someone could read the serial number from 20 – 50 feet away without you knowing. It's a passive technology, it doesn't use any power and it doesn't send out any signal unless a signal is bounced off of it by special equipment.

It works great for inventory, an armorer could just walk into a warehouse with a handheld device and instantly get a count of all the pistols in the room.

Pretty sure that all else being equal I don't want a gun with an RFID chip in it.
 
My "guess" would be some kind of inventory/barcode chip...however, I wouldn't have any electronic crap in my gun... :scrutiny: Little screwdriver and I'd pop that sucker out and smash it... tinfoil.gif

Probably embedded deep in the polymer frame, about as easy to remove as a regular serial number.. assuming you knew where it was. RFID chips are pretty small, they can be embedded in clothing without any discomfort.
 
a USP came into my local HK dealer.....had the same thing in it, the owner of the gun had no clue and my HK Mil/LE dealer had never seen one before

Quote from a different poster from the same board.... so it's probably not a hoax.
 
It might be good for security purposes...maybe. at places where just a sivil guard has a permit to wear a gun... that all the allowed guns are in the buildings registry.

Newbie on a board, asking a question like that.
I call hoax, unless proof from other P2000 owners or HK surfaces.

Been around longer than you, Gunnerpalace. :scrutiny:

Look before you leap to conclusions. :neener:
 
Gunner -

He's referring to the poster on the HK board... (I think)

Made me wonder too....
 
I call hoax on this. Even though there is at least one other poster who "has a freind" who had also seen one. Just look at the area around the chip in the photo. It's a horribly rough and possibly slightly melted opening. If HK were going to install something like that, I don't think they'd be so ridiculously sloppy about it.
 
FWIW, if this is the wave of the future, it is just as likely that the chip would embedded inside the polymer where we'd never see it.

If this is true,

Make it simple. Boycott H&K until they change it.

Oh, like that worked in trying to get HK to build their "good" rifles in the us so Civilians could buy them again...
(IE PSG-1 & MSG 90)
 
I don't know how much metal is in the stripped frame of a USP, but you should be able to fry the chip with microwaves. I'm not certain, but I believe a strong magnetic field would also work.

Some interesting info here: http://globalguerrillas.typepad.com/globalguerrillas/2006/01/weapons_the_rfi.html

One thing is certain, RFID is the new bar code. The chips will be everywhere soon.

RFID tags are tiny radio responders that can be attached to anything for inventory, theft prevention and other purposes. They work in the same manner as devices like “EZPass” and "SpeedPass" that allow you pay tolls and buy gasoline without any interaction. A radio signal transmitted nearby provides the energy, and the transponder responds by echoing out a serial number in a radio response.The miniature tag versions are just now starting to work their way into the economy. Recently Michelin announced that soon every tire they make will have an RFID tag, and Gillette signed a contract to buy millions of the tags.

Many people fear that with little automated inventory tags on everything, our privacy could be invaded in new and insidious ways. The theory is that you could be surreptitiously scanned in many public places, and the RFID codes from your clothing and personal belongings could be used to track you. Some stores have promised to erase the tags somehow at the checkout so they cannot be used that way, but how can we be sure?
