A new company in Texas is selling a precision rifle with a unique technology that allows even an inexperienced shooter to hit a target 10 football fields away. The price tag is a staggering $27,500.

Tracking Point describes the weapon as a smartgun, with a trigger wired to the scope so that the gun won't fire until it's locked on the target that's been tagged.

This has been mentioned before, I suspect they are looking for police contracts.

In computer games where the bullet hits exactly on the cursor is one thing, but there has been no mention of this wonder rifle winning any unlimited long range target matches anywhere and I suspect the answer is more than they simply have not entered any of them yet.
