- Safety light: red armed / green safe.
- 5 second delay w/ blinking red after switching between safe and armed.
- rdl 14y agoI'm not sure what the benefit is here, and there's substantial cost. Most legal self defense shootings are probably over within 5 seconds from touching the holster to firing the weapon. Depending on clothing, a trained shooter is at 1-2 seconds (in crazy competition, it can be as low as 0.5 seconds). An attacker can close 21 feet in a second or two. Then either stab or grapple the weapon. If someone is >21 feet from you, he's probably not a threat in the first place.
- radley 14y agoCost - whatever. Safety delay time can also be worked out. Maybe there can be a Rambo setting for people who need it to work instantly. It could include a "black box" chip to keep track of when Rambo is turned on and when Rambo is turned off (to keep track if the user is diligent about safety or not).
