The 18-year-old guy who built the 'genuine boss' smart gun could shoot

The method of integrating fingerprints on guns will help prevent dangerous violence that may occur unexpectedly.

Kai Kloepfer lives in Boulder, Colorado, USA, only about 57km away from Aurora cinema. This is the place where the horrific shooting took place, causing 12 people to die in 2012. This terrible event has inadvertently become a driving force that made the 18-year-old Kloepfer decide to study a new technology to stop shooting status of innocent people.

Prototype of smart gun technology activated by fingerprints of 18-year-old boy Kloepfer.

Kloepfer himself said that accidental shootings, suicides or weapons abuse were still dangerous and killed more people than mass shootings.

Kloepfer's technology is not really new but has only been previously studied on the bullet box. This time, Kloepfer conducted a comprehensive research on a smart gun product . Gun owners will be able to save fingerprints as well as allow some designated people to use them. Fingerprints will be stored and encrypted securely at the military level.

Kloepfer said: "When the owner holds the gun, they can use the gun easily. But if a child holds in his hand, or a young man tries to commit suicide, or even . a The attacker tries to intimidate a police officer, the gun will be locked immediately and cannot be used. "

In other words, if there is no appropriate fingerprint, the smart gun will not work.

The operation principle of the gun is quite simple. The gun barrel will open for about a second since the owner touches the fingerprint sensor and locks it faster than half a second. Sensor batteries can last up to a year depending on how often they are used. The gun also incorporates intelligent monitoring mechanism to detect and notify battery status. Users can charge the gun with a mobile phone charger for about 1 hour.

Some other features like water resistance or the exact size of the gun will only be published after the product has a commercial version.

Smart guns will help support the legalization of the Obama Administration's arms control law . The US president is calling on scientists and military experts to research more about safer gun technology.

Kloepfer is also raising funds on Indiegogo to turn the prototype of the plastic into a real weapon product. Kloepfer said: "If I can create technology that really saves a person's life, that is probably my goal."

Introduction of smart gun technology enabled by fingerprints.

This is a great idea but to turn into a real product will need a lot of research funding.
