You got your Smart cars, your smart pet doors, your smart bombs, your smart phones, why not a smart rifle? From a new article up on Strategy Page, HERE, this excerpt:
The U.S. Army recently bought six XS1 computerized rifles. These usually go for up to $27,000 each and are expensive because they are sensor equipped and computerized to the extent that over 70 percent of first time users can hit a target over 900 meters distant with the first shot. For a professional sniper, first shot success averages about 25 percent and 70 percent on the second shot. Second shots are not always possible as the target tends to duck after the first one.
The XS1 with the bipod, loaded and with the scope, weighs 9.25 kg (20.4 pounds). It is bolt action with a five round magazine and fires the .338 Lapua Magnum.
For sale to civilians, too, if any of them had twenty-seven grand to put into a hunting rifle.
