So when do they come out with the robot spiders that can go floor to floor in search of Tom Cruise lounging in a cold bath? Reply

Generally it's a two person team to handle long range shots, one takes account of the environmental factors and converts them into usable data for the shooter. While it has been mentioned, this device adds light, at night time that would be a bad thing - during the day it wouldn't be a problem.

As far as music is concerned, they wouldn't hear - they'd be lucky to hear the report from the gun before they got hit...

@Jonathan Merchant: The bullet goes supersonic. They would NOT hear the report in time. Reply

@DeusExMach: Yeah, they'd hear the sonic boom from the bullet before they heard either the report OR the AC/DC. Reply

@Philip Marquis: Surprisingly, competitive shooting is a sport. It's even an Olympic sport. As this does calculations, it is a calculating app. It's only "violent" when ignorant people label it as such, b/c they deem all guns "bad". Reply

I can see another advantage, as it may help deflect a bullet shot at the user of this weapon if this is mounted. Note I said "MAY". Reply
