This doesn't really seem like technology that is "needed". When you can actually see the enemy a holo sight in the hands of a trained soldier is probably more than sufficient. Whether it takes one round or 3 to stop the enemy it doesn't matter. Watching this tech it seems super slow to use. Perhaps it might be useful for hitting a target at 1000 yards. But that's such a rare use case.

- clktmr 7y agoJust love that on HN killing somebody is discussed as a use case.
- quotemstr 7y agoWhat's wrong with that? Not everyone is a pacifist --- far from it. There are legitimate uses for violence.
- KozmoNau7 7y agoThe only legitimate use of violence is to end violence.
- cosmodisk 7y agoI think we,humans, are quite unique on this: we are extremely good at it yet it's one of the things we can't discuss without strong emotions.
