- sliverstorm 14y agoModern cars electronically control the throttle plate based on your input on the throttle. Modern planes modulate ailerons in the same fashion. Do you consider the computer to be driving/flying for you?
- jlgreco 14y agoI would consider an automatic transmission to be shifting for me. I'm not trying to slight the gun or anything, it seems pretty cool. I'm just saying that "you tell the gun what you want to shoot and when to start, and then the gun decides when to shoot and promptly does so" is a straightforward description of what it is going on.
- nearengine 14y agoNo, the gun doesn't shoot for you. It replaces the trigger with one with a solenoid behind it that it can dynamically change the pull of. It sets the trigger pull restrictively high until your reticle matches your tag, and then quickly drops it so you make the shot. You just hold the trigger down until it lets you shoot.
