Exhibited at January’s Shooting Hunting and Outdoor Trade (SHOT) Show in Las Vegas, is this year’s highest-tech gun from German firm Armatix. They have created a semi automatic handgun in .22 calibre with an electronic safety that automatically disables the pistol when it’s not within a few inches of a custom wristwatch. The watch sends a wireless arming signal to the gun which if picked up, lights a green LED on the rear of the gun. Try squeezing the handle without wearing the watch and a red warning light appears. A limited edition version is on sale for about 7,000 Euros and shipping starts next month. Could be a great development for law enforcement officers.
