Just trying to imagine what a modern gun design would be in a world where high end gadgets and gizmos include - unnecessary display screens, WiFi connections and AI features 😂

Imagine HP inkjet ammo, with chips to verify authenticity

I'm sorry these bullets are not endorsed by the manufacturer, and using them might cause damage to this unit. In order to ensure safety of this gun it has been disabled until you send it in to an authorized repair shop and only load authentic ammunition in the future.

Imagine you can't shoot any other type of ammo if one of them is missing.

I vaguely remember Ukraine not being able to use western tanks because the software of said tanks was incompatible with the bullets.

There’s some wild shit with self guiding bullets, and a tech demo that Vortex took and streamlined.

Powered 1913 rail is about the closest to bolt-on ‘smart’ jank, can’t wait for some Joe to attach some WiFi’d homebrew toy and ruin signal/ew discipline for his shot counter widget
