For anyone that remembers, they tried it with the Armatix iP1 but they got it disabled with magnets to disable fingerprint. We're still a long way unfortunately.

[@softlightlaboratory]

For anyone who remembers mistakes like that, they need to happen to make progress.

[@toobigtofit3584]

The Armatix IP1 didn't have a fingerprint scanner, it was RF based with a PIN code based watch. The magnet bypass moved the solenoid that otherwise prevented firing when unauthorized (which, if you've watched LockPickingLawyer, is a pretty common way to defeat electronic locks). Watching Forgotten Weapons, Ian mentioned the Biofire was designed the ground up around being "smart", instead of being a mechanical gun with electronic blocks, and accordingly not vulnerable to the same bypass. He never really showed what that meant though. This engineer (and gun enthusiast) wants to know more. Not from a "I want to buy this" perspective, but from a curiosity perspective.

[@venko8028]

​@@toobigtofit3584 I had assumed this gun also used mechanical blocks. I appreciate the clarification.

[@elaishh3533]

“An officer was shot and killed today after his weapon would not fire” -probably

[@softlightlaboratory]

Then grab the none-tech one.

[@MrGreginsky]

Probably forgot to charge or replace the battery

[@donharris8846]

Not likely

[@stephensullivan1011]

Yup

[@MeatCatCheesyBlaster]

An innocent man survived today because the officers gun would not fire - probably

[@aeriumfour6096]

Just what we need, weapons that other soldiers can't pick up and fire. As soon as the user dies on the field, it just becomes a club. And on top of that you need to keep your gun charged! So in other words, it's nearly useless.

“War has changed. ID-tagged soldiers carry ID-tagged weapons, use ID-tagged gear. Nano-machines inside their bodies enhance and regulate their abilities. Genetic control, information control, emotion control... battlefield control. Everything is monitored and kept under control. War - has changed. The age of deterrence has become the age of control.” -Solid Snake, Metal Gear Solid IV: Guns of the Patriots

[@Shaojeemy]

Literally thought of MGS4 when i saw the title 😂

[@aftermathsample305]

MGS4. April 2023 and thats STILL the best video game I've ever played in my life

[@MeatCatCheesyBlaster]

There ain’t gonna be any men in the future wars

[@phymat1]

Nanomachines son

[@Lalitaditya100]

I don't think anyone would buy this until the Lock Picking Lawyer has a chance to deal with it.

[@vincentpaniccia109]

Wholeheartedly agree. Seeing as he's picked every lock he could touch.

[@HardKore5250]

In a smart gun, quantum security could work by using a quantum key distribution (QKD) protocol to securely transmit the key used to unlock the gun. QKD is a secure communication method

"Walther PPK/S, 9 millimeter short. It's been coded to your palm print so only you can fire it. Less of a random killing machine, more of a personal statement." - Q (Skyfall, 2012)

[@Old_and_Wise]

Dumb idea. So many technicalities that could make this fail when you need it to save your life in a split-second moment (failed fingerprint read, batteries are dead from long-term storage between uses, wearing gloves or other interferences for optimal use) and also could be used as an invasive loophole for one's privacy. Also, what happens when the battery no longer functions properly? Can you just replace the battery, or do you have to purchase a whole new firearm? And to those who say it will stop criminals from getting their hands on guns, that's wishful thinking. If a criminal wants one, they'll always find a way to get one.

[@BrosephTincans]

Every day we stray closer to living in a Watch Dogs: Legion dystopia

[@BigMikeR35]

The fingerprint can be for multiple users. It's not the first one. The downfalls are gloves, dirty hands, and poor accuracy(false positive).

[@LasVegasNoise]

You owe no apology Lew!

[@zacgrierson]

RIP if your hands are dirty or your wearing gloves.

[@softlightlaboratory]

Rip to your odd comment.

[@zacgrierson]

@@softlightlaboratory Ever tried to use your fingerprint when your finger is wet or your wearing gloves? Tried it when your life is in danger?

[@softlightlaboratory]

@Zac Grierson that's never going to happen. My family has a military background, and mistakes without death mean progress, I'm also in a desert state, so me getting wet won't be a problem. Basically, "I am the danger 🤓".

[@zacgrierson]

@@softlightlaboratory You have no idea when you'd need to defend yourself, holding your Starbucks Frozen drink? Wet fingers. Fine dust also stops this working.

[@softlightlaboratory]

@Zac Grierson I don't drink Starbucks, and my finger would be dry when I go for my fingerprint weapon The finger would be dry with the motion of my finger sliding across my dry clothing, A reasonable person keeps their weapon Concealed

[@kaetha1]

If the finger print stops working because of something on your hand that’s when you can use the facial recognition

[@gamezone516]

WW III Oh sh8 my gun ran out of charge I can't shoot "You failed to unlock your gun 3 times wait 5min for next try"

[@mkygod]

So the fingerprint is only to unlock the gun from the stand/holster? it doesn't determine whether or not it can shoot after it's been taken out?

[@warpigroadkill]

If it said OCP or Cyberdine on the side, then I'd be worried. I'd be more impressed if it was more like the Lawgiver in Judge Dredd and you could tell it to do a double whammy.

[@zweitsedewit2703]

In the Netherlands we have no guns, so no fingerprint problems either

[@Eric_DJ]

If the battery dies, so do you... The technology isn't there yet.

[@softlightlaboratory]

So you want guns to have nuclear power 🔋 batteries that last 50 years...radiation leaks man.

[@Eric_DJ]

@S P A C E D A W N N E O N No, I want people to recognize this has many design flaws that will get people killed. It's easier and safer to keep them in a safe.

[@thornedoesstuff6363]

We're getting closer to cyberpunk technology

[@StayLoose200]

This is not going to be adopted by and person or agency that actually knows anything about firearms. The same people interested in this are carrying around a pistol with no round in the chamber.

[@yDrewy]

So when blood, water or sweat gets on the fingerprint scanner then what? Oh yeah, I know……I’m dead.

[@softlightlaboratory]

It's going to read your fingerprint still if you listen in science class, the thumb will push the thick liquid away and be enough to turn it on.

[@_nom_]

It'll stop kids and thieves

[@softlightlaboratory]

@@_nom_ and dogs shooting their owners when hunting 😃

[@zallen05]

Both ring and print. Unlocks with ring and shoots after fingerprint reading

[@Fabreezzo]

That will be easier to identify the person since their finger print is attached to it

[@killermed95]

And what if your finger isn't in just the right spot?🥴 Or what if it's cold or wet and you're wearing gloves? I'll stay analog....😅

[@stef4614]

what?! Lew "owes an apology to the Dalai Lama" ?! whoever posted that must be investigated immediately

[@Djruffyouth]

What happens when you have gloves on?

[@1down12go]

The camera is down the barrel. "look here and click"

[@seephreepsychee]

Psycho pass is a good anime, it uses this concept but it's ALOT more advanced in ways I won't say here

[@moodswingcafe]

if the gun can read finger print. then might as well register and send that finger print into a database whenever a trigger is fired.

[@Old_and_Wise]

No thanks.

[@zzzlap]

This will be easily integrated with AI so it can decide if the officer can fire the gun. One day the guns will fire on their own.

[@shaundenehy4681]

You're assuming they would hack the gun instead of just hacking off a thumb so they could use it.

[@tylergibbs2695]

What about legal sales of firearms? How would that work, could you change the fingerprint if the gun is sold?

[@yours2313]

I don't know why you had to ask that question.

[@D._.3NO]

What about Nano Diamond Batteries?

[@MrZgui415]

Here i got the best of 1980s polymer technology

[@TheJagjr4450]

This gun manufacturer will need to be protected by legislation because if it malfunctions and does not fire the gun company is going to be sued out of existence.

[@keeganwebb7777]

Considering the failure rate of unlocking my phone...

[@boukm3n]

*Some french fries on your fingers and you’re done, it’s time to meet God* 😂😂😂😂

[@J2Sharp-]

Stopping criminals I understand but uhhh what if the tech messed up on it and it’s assigned to me? 🤷🏾‍♂️

[@Eli9A]

it can only work if the power last 10 years

[@jasonsalgado4917]

the USA will try anything before actually facing the root of its problems. gotta love it

[@softlightlaboratory]

USA? what that mean, cuz this is 3rd party company far as I know it.😮

[@matthew8153]

The root of the problem is the lack of asylums. It used to be crazy people were locked up, now they’re left out on the streets.

[@Old_and_Wise]

And what do you think is the root of the problem?

[@kILLMASTER720]

Lmfao don’t charge your gun so you die 😂😂

[@marzbitenhaussen]

this is a mickey mouse idea, that is impractical and probably created by a person thta has little understanding of weapons

[@zombl337og]

it will always get every users fingerprints on file

[@nemis123]

And in the meantime 3d printed guns are produced.

[@hadryantar]

This thing should have been on the market , like forever , and many lives would have been saved . 😔

[@softlightlaboratory]

That's not how it works 😕

[@spaghettipizza47]

Nobody is gunna buy that garbage except for people who are new gun owers who don’t know a dam thing about guns and thoes are the people who shouldn’t them they are not trained or confident anyone who knows anything about guns, the people who actually buy and love guns will Not buy this😂😂😂😂they will go bankrupt

[@yours2313]

You're a genius. Why has nobody thought of that. It's already a perfect system nothing can go wrong.

[@Old_and_Wise]

Sorry, not true. Just wishful thinking.

[@AufBerghofNAM]

not for civilians, this is for the cops

[@raye.b2118]

Very soon it will have a selfie camera 😄

[@donharris8846]

Smart move. Keep the 2A crowd happy, but also requires legal purchase of firearms to use them (in theory). So if all gun owners are just law abiding citizens who like to hunt, this has no effect on them, but it stops low life criminals who aren’t tech wizards

[@Old_and_Wise]

No this does not keep the 2A crowd happy. Lots of issues and potential malfunction points, and privacy over-reach concerns when you start to introduce tech into a product like this. 2A people want something that's reliable, discrete, and doesn't potentially have the government's hands all over it.

[@diego.e.a]

The 2A community will HATE this thing.

[@danielhornback]

I was just wondering if these existed lol

[@KalpeshPatel78]

forget everything.. that gun is hackable.

My phones finger print or face req doesn't even work half the time haha a gun!!? Fml

[@ElMenorLatino]

I'd rather keep my guns in a safe. Imagine if the battery runs out, or there is a malfunction. Or your fingers are covered, or dirty... Now you are there stuck, trying to use the tool that is meant to keep you safe in the middle of an emergency. Not a great idea in my opinion.
