New rifles help US troops shoot without looking

Sensors and computer mounted on the rifle will automatically adjust the path, the gunner just to pull the trigger to kill the target.

The United States Department of Defense late May introduced a new shotgun system mounted on a rifle during a military technology day at the Pentagon. Designed on the basis of the M4 rifle , the device can automatically target targets without the need for a military operation, according to Task and Purpose.

Typically, the ability to target a target depends on factors such as weapons, ammunition, environment and skills of the soldiers. The new gun will be equipped with a series of sensors and ballistic calculators, helping US troops shorten the time of sighting and attacking the enemy.

Tactical computers have the ability to lock targets even in the most chaotic situations. Manufacturers said the hydraulic system will adjust the line of sight for guns, gunners only need to squeeze the trigger after this process. New technology is expected to help every soldier become marksmanship without requiring too much skill and training.

In addition to its use on infantry rifles, the US military is also interested in equipping this technology with sophisticated weapons systems such as tanks, boats and aircraft. The transition will be quite easy, due to the platform-compatible software that is highly compatible, suited to most US weapons.


The system can lock itself in spite of the gunner's movement.

This technology is very attractive, but also raises the question of the need for shooter training in the future. In addition, sniper snipers can also lose their role on the battlefield, as any soldier can hit the target from long distances, said Sarah Sicard.
