    We could just teach cops that it’s bad to shoot riot guns at people’s faces!

    Of course the AI was only trained and tested on people who look like the creators and it certainly won’t lead to a bias that results in minorities getting shot in the head.

    12.55mm elastomer rounds fired by compressed air? FN Herstal built a Nerf gun.

    Nerf darts are .50 caliber (12.7mm), and Nerf Hyper balls are 14mm elastomer (Which funnily enough is pretty darn close to the 14.5mm of the 14.5x114 round.)

    Also everyone is just gonna put a piece of electrical tape over the camera as soon as they get one.

      Nah. They’ll tape a picture of a tree in front of the camera. Then kill someone with a headshot and come out innocent because of SmArT GUn

        I wonder if the gun would take pictures of what you aim at every time it’s fired? Then the powers that be would be like “Why are you shooting a tree, and the same one at that?” If they delete the picture, “Hey how did you fire 10 rounds, but only 8 pictures?” or “Where’s the picture for shot #136?”

      Or better yet, protestors wearing masks like it’s body armor so it won’t be able to shoot at all

        Honestly the masks and other facial coverings may prevent the camera’s recognition of facial features, thereby making this programmed safety not engage at all. 🤔

      Or, you know, just wear a Tshirt with a face picture on it.

      Improvise. Adapt. Overcome.

      I don’t believe that.

      What’s it’s algorithm for determining what a face is and how far away or close does a face need to be to trigger the mechanism? How about if a little tear gas has already been thrown? Still effective? Or at nigh. It’s unlikely to be effective.

      I worry that the user will take it as a certain it will work properly and then it’s going to blast someone in the face accidentally.

    We shouldn’t even need this. Our shooting issues shouldn’t be so bad that something like this is even necessary.

    As French anti-riot cops have proved, you don’t need to kill to put people off the street, making them lose their hands is enough.
