  • @TFBTV and @JamesReeves are at Brownells covering #GunCon2023. In this episode, James speaks with Biofire, makers of the newest and very highly-hyped smart gun, which uses fingerprint and facial recognition technology to unlock for use. James is skeptical, but the gentlemen from Biofire do their best to allay James’ concerns with this controversial technology.

      I want to run a smart pistol through an A wall because of this online exchange. By Allah I will make the 4 pilot mag last 1 or 2 pilots longer. I will even incorporate it into a weapon swap combo so I can get further lockon discounts and use it as a finisher for 24 consecutive pilots straight. All of them being the same group but as respawns. I will use the Thunderbolt and maybe an arc nade as a damage opener before quickdrawing the SP from the holster and going BOINK. Did you know that thing can hit ANYWHERE and blast a 40% chunk out of the pilot? It can be dumbfired with about as good an accuracy as a devotion if you point the center of the screen at the enemy and click before it can actually lock (or with irons). All you gotta do is hit their foot.
      And its TTK is..... still worse than a CAR, but you will frag the pilot faster than just clicking between locks.

      Even bulls eye target shooters, some of who were big fans of electronic triggers at first, are all back to normal triggers because no company was able to make a 100% reliable electronic trigger yet. Pardini and Walther tried with their olympic target pistols. Nobody wants that crap anymore. They seem amazing at first, but then the problems start piling up.
      A guy at my range had a Walther SSP-E and it would double and triple shoot, or even worse shoot when you closed the slide. Had been in for repair multiple times until he sold it. Problems never went away.

Can’t get your gun stolen and used against you, AND it becomes useless in a couple days if it’s stolen anyway and unable to be charged?

    While I'm not in the market for anything like this - like many other people here I'm more concerned about the precedent this could set for firearms in the future. I've long argued that in the United States they don't need to ban guns to kill them off...they will circumvent that with other practices. If this tech ever became commonplace, it would be far too easy for a government to demand this tech on all firearms (driving prices skyward and basically forcing people to submit biometrics for study, etc. etc. etc.). They're doing it with cars already - forcing manufacturers to add unnecessary components which add little to no safety benefit but increase the cost and complexity of every day vehicles, etc. It's a bad direction to go.

The whole process (facial recognition fail, switch to fingerprint, try two or three times with wiping fingers in between) takes like 15 seconds. Way too long for a gun.

      Sadly I'd say it's more like a freight train moving at top speed to mandatory. Slowing down...nope....so unless it's a time machine and we hit 88mph, that trains going to take us right off into the ravine. Ohh, if you don't know the reference I'm throwing out, ya might want to visit the cafe 80's to learn more about it lol

    Firstly, it should likely be larger, like a carbine. As it is right now, its a large balky handgun. It would be better in something the size of a Scorpion Evo with all the shit they want to put on it, and this would also allow for a rail for an optic and light.
    Second, they need to get rid of the smart gun bullshit. Ive said this in every video I've watched, but a dumb gun that works when you need it is better than a smart gun that doesnt.

      So they need to make sure that it does work. That’s why they spent over a decade working on it.
      Having said that, I’d like to see them develop a carbine like this.
