Hey all,
Was just thinkin aimlessly and wondering about this, so I thought I would ask your opinion on it.
There are several manufacturers now of scopes with built in digital cameras, like Adirondack Optics "Smart scope" and I have seen pictures taken as the trigger is pulled and the rifle fires. Think this has a place in Law Enforcement?
Maybe since the trigger doesn't have to be pulled to fire the shot, the sniper could use it to gather and e-mail pictures to Command during a prolonged incident, and if he takes a shot, the picture could help him in court to prove he was justified in shooting. Could be a great training aid too, for mounting on a dummy rifle and seeing how much it matters to "shoot" at a moving person. Of course, I mean professionals and a clearly harmless dummy rifle.
What do the pros here say?
