Cool 'backup gun' to take to a match....

I shot skeet with a Striker shotgun once, and used my lever action 357 against my son's AR-15 for nighttime competition, but this is even stranger...

Now that is really weird. But it may well be that 25 years from now, the technology will have been perfected and people will scratch their heads in wonder at primitive arms burning propellent powder.

I'm pretty sure the military has them that shoot large projectiles in excess of 4,000 fps, but they are mounted on trucks... :shock:

Of course remember the HUGE laser sights in the 1980's, like on the Terminator's "Forty-five Longslide"...? :D

Here's a bit about the actual sight as made by Ed Reynolds, of Surefire - https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2010/03 ... er-siting/

Now instead of a foot-long fragile thing of low power, but still requiring a huge external battery and cord, they are the size of a lima-bean, and immersible...and cost a tenth the price... 8)

So maybe someday...
