I'm pretty sure ammo makers aren't shaking in their boots on this one.
- TylerE 4y agoYou could probably do it with something like Bluetooth LE in the bullet. You'd need some sort of base station, worn on a belt loop or something. Binary explosives certainly exist so it should be in theory possible. Not sure how well they "scale down" though, and I don't know if any have a blast velocity low enough to be workable. I'm not a gun guy, really, outside of my interest in naval warfare. 16" shells have slightly different design params though. Actually, thinking about it more would the barrel act like a faraday cage?
- throwanem 4y agoIt would make considerably more sense to use standard ammunition and conditionally release the firing pin based on logic in the firearm, but to be clear this is all still well within the realm of flagrant silliness, to the point where if n-gate (pbuh) were still around this thread would probably qualify as bait.
