Password Protected Ammo? Seriously.

[hirundo82]

For instance, on police issued weapons, where the possibility of a stolen gun in a heated situation where the officer's gun could be turned on him, is probably a good place for technology like this.

Now don't get me wrong, I would never be in favor mandating these technologies on firearms, but having the option is a GOOD thing.

I agree having the option is a good thing, but most politicians have never met a stupid idea they don't want to make mandatory. What ends up happening is that some antigun politician ends up mandating it for the little people and exempting law enforcement from the requirements because they complain the technology is too prone to fail.

Look at the New Jersey "smart gun" law (where if the chip fails the gun will not fire), or the ammunition microstamping bills introduced in several states over the past few years.

So let me get this straight.

According to the antis,we're supposed to use guns with a holster catch, a thumb safety, a personal lock, AND ammo with a personal lock. In practical terms, for self defense, we release our loaded gun from the holster, pull it out, deactivate the thumb safety, activate the gun, activate the ammo,THEN shoot... ...I don't know, sounds a little involved or convoluted to me.

Why can't the antis just put all this RF crap and fancy locks on criminals?

because the criminals pay lip service to disarm citizens and laugh at the antis, and aren't stupid enough to buy it.

Just pass a law first that you have to use password protected cash to pay for it. That will slow them down some.

String the antenna between the front and rear sights.

Hopefully the operating system is more robust that what's on a PC.

I think we need to provide the Democrats with password protected voting booths and tax increases!

I don't see any of these antis moving to China. They've had gun control for a long time!

So it can fit inside the case but can it stand the pressure and heat?

It doesnt need to..... its a one time use. Once the round is fired, it doesnt need to work anymore. The heat and pressue comes after its served its purpose.


However, along those lines, the remaing rounds in the gun still have to work after the shock of the recoil. I think the gerneral commercial spec for types of components is 10k G-forces..... which isnt the best test for shock forces. I cant remember if there is even a spec for the shock forces.... actually, there is a vibration spec... maybe that would be an acceptable test. Now, I'm getting beyond my experience.

You hit the nail on the head. What isn`t accepted today, does not necessarily mean it will not happen in the future. LOOK AT ALL THE ASSULTS TO THE CONSTITUTION GOING ON NOW these would have been silly a few decades ago.

Military state, total control of the poplation. CAN BE THE OUTCOME.

The technology in and of itself is neither good nor bad, it's the application which matters.

I disagree. There is some technology which is ONLY developed to control people and this is one of them. There is NO legitimate benefit to the individual civilian gun owner to using this. But there's a lot of drawbacks, including someone with a "signal jammer" shutting your guns down...

These guys really do seem to be thinking ahead

The apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the security means is an energy barrier.

They're patenting a device that uses technology that isn't likely to exist in the foreseeable future?

May as well patent bullets that use teleportation to appear inside the target's body.

Actually, its here now... they are referring to the RFID itself.

The 'Radio Frequency" in RFID is an energy field with a range.... the range of which the transmitter and reveiver reach each other.

The "ID" is 'identification' in which it is unique and provides the security aspect.


It just means something along the lines of a of wireless router or sorta kinda even a car remote. Or, in this case RFID.
