Is Being a Poor Marksman Destroying Your Career as a Sniper?

If your lack of marksmanship skills is holding you back from the ever-expanding field of sniper attacking, a Texas company has a solution for you!

TrackingPoint, a startup based in Austin, Texas, just began selling some of the most high-tech long-range shooting rifles available in the world — they use 3D graphics, laser technology, and Wi-Fi, and allow users to live stream their exploits and post photos to social media and on personal devices.

“TrackingPoint introduces the world’s first precision guided firearm — the revolutionary new long-range shooting system that puts jet-fighter lock and launch technology in a rifle enabling anyone to hit moving targets at extended ranges,” Tracking Point’s overview video says.

The key to TrackingPoint’s firearms is that anyone — even someone who’s never picked up a rifle — could hit a moving target at distances of at least 500 yards (i.e., five football fields).

Well, I know I’ll certainly sleep better at night.

Okay, so here’s my question for Wayne LaPierre:  how’s the good guy with a gun gonna find the bad guy with a gun from 500 yards away with directionality confused until an autopsy?  Yes, it’s a physics question, Wayne.

Thanks to David and Allan for the heads up.
