That seems like it goes beyond weird/disturbing, and a decent case could be made for actually evil.
I am pro-gun, with the understanding that education is necessary, and this seems like it not only isn't education, but if anything is the opposite -- pushing for people to be even more irresponsible and dangerous.
- throwaway0a5e 6y agoI think it's a bad translation and they mean "semi-game" as in "not big game" hunting or "non-competition but competition styled" target shooting. The point being if they make it easier or more fun then people will spend their free time/money on their guns instead of spending it on a jet ski or whatever. Being able to replay a video of a shot so you can see where you hit something and have a realistic idea of how far it went would be useful to a lot of hunters. Additionally, sharing what you did with your buddies is a big part of a lot of recreational activities these days, particularly with younger people so they're naturally providing a mechanism for that. The guy who owns the dirt bike has go-pro footage of that sick jump he made. This sounds like it's like that but for your gun.
