Rumor is Shiraz has bought the company and will be shooting these bullets in F-Open at future matches.

At the present stage it smells of vaporware. I think they have done a lot more calculating than actual shooting. I look forward to seeing some groups shot at 2000 meters, along with energy-delivered-on-target numbers.

Not quite the way the space pen development went…

Great technology – but somebody’s got to “paint” the target for it home in on, so why not just give the guy with the Laser designator a rifle?

Reminds me that during the race to space, we spent months and lots of $$ designing and making a pen that would write in zero-G.
The Russians just used a pencil.
