The world’s first precision guided firearm?

TrackingPoint, a new Texas-based company has developed a shooting system that could turn even the least skilled marksmen into a sniper-quality shooter. President Jason Schauble explains in the YouTube video below that they have “put jet fighter lock-and-launch technology into a firing system.”

The system uses a conventional gun and ammunition combined with a Intelligent Digital Tracking Scope and a guided trigger. The technology doesn’t let you fire until the shot is spot on.

TrackingPoint “Precision Guided Firearms” will be available in January 2013 The system is based on a Remington 700 and will be available in .338 Lapua Magnum, .300 Winchester Magnum and .300 Win Magnum.
