ID Sniper Fills Its Victims with Hot GPS-tracking Lead

Well now… this is unsettling. This might look like a regular old headshot-delivering sniper rifle, but it doesn’t shoot bullets. No, the ID Sniper fires tiny GPS chips.

By Brendan I. Koerner I harbor no illusions regarding my future career path. Having already entered my fourth decade on Spaceship Earth, I’m pretty much stuck with writing at this point.
