Sniper rifle embeds GPS chip in body
Posted on Mar 8, 07 08:52 AM PDT
Empire North from Denmark is currently developing the ID Sniper, a sniper rifle which is powerful enough to implant a GPS chip in your body from a range of 1km away. I wonder what the targets would feel when they get hit by this rifle - will they dismiss it as a mere insect bite? After all, the microchip is meant to enter the body and stay there without causing any internal damage. While this might sound appealing, ordinary tax-paying citizens like you and I can breathe a sigh of relief for the moment since there aren't GPS receivers that are so small you won't feel it if somebody shot you with one. In addition, one also has to grapple with issues like battery life and a missing transmitter. Perhaps in 10 years' time?

I am not too sure how they get past the physics of propelling an object up to a kilometer, be able to penetrate skin (and of course any fabric), AND actually be anywhere remotely accurate.
It has enough energy to make it to the target but not enough mass to kill or wound, yet penetrate....and not travel a a km or three of target in a slight breeze.
This myth is busted...
