The most annoying part is that if you have more than one gun that uses the same round, now you’re going to have sepparate sets of ammo for each one, and keep track of which bullets belong to which gun.

Wait until it is hacked and someone with an intelligent transmitter sets off every round in the vicinity…

And of course none of this will have ANY impact on crime.

[...] Say Uncle tells of a new patented kind of ammo for so called smart guns (think New Jersey and laugh a the oxymoron of NJ pols coming up with anything smart). [...]

Setting aside the idioting “code” idea, hf ignition seems like a pretty nice idea for some uses. Target shooting, hunting and sniper use might benefit from about as close to zero lock time as you can get. I don’t think I would trust it for any use where my life depended on it working though unless I could be convinced that the electronics and the ignition system were more reliable than a firing pin / primer system; I think that would be pretty hard to do (both being more reliable and convincing me).

As for the “code” idea: BULLSHIT. You know the next thing they would require is that the “state” was able to broadcast a “disable” to all non-state ammo within some range of the transmitter — maybe they just build that into their guns. I don’t think so.

If I want to kill myself I can find a more fun way to do it than having some sonofabitch shoot me while I am in input mode. However, I believe this apparatus should be standard issue for all New Jersey cops, aww Hell all cops everywhere. If this is such a boon to mankind , they being special and all should have it for law enforcement only distribution. Yeah, I like that. After all, they deserve it.
