Whose gun, who shot

A new technology is being developed to prevent the tragedies caused by guns. Especially those who use other people's guns to commit their crimes.

Scientists designed, assembled and tested a new pistol. This gun only releases bullets when its circuit system and software recognize the grip of the person who registered to use it. This technology can measure the size, grip and structure of the user's hand.

The sensor part of the gun can read and record the size and force of the user's hand in the first second when he tightens the trigger. Another device already on the market can also prevent crimes and careless accidents when using guns.

When you buy a gun, you must fill out an identification and register your fingerprint template. This information will be stored in the electronic chip installed in the gun you purchased.

In order to use this gun, its owner must place his thumb on a scanning screen on the gun handle before firing. Although someone could get a gun, but with inappropriate fingerprints, the gun would automatically lock.

Of course there will be no 100% guarantee for both devices, when criminals always have a way to undermine security systems, but only a few of them succeed in it.
