#17 Odds are it can be defeated by a single wire. That is why Version 2.0 will make a wi-fi connection to the central database before it fires to make sure your license and fees are up to date. No checking for outstanding warrants though since that would be racist. |

#9 The gov't will issue them to criminals at no charge, along with fresh needles. Safety is a huge concern. |

#4 I'll stick with my US Gov 1911 Delta Elite 10mm thank-you. No need to double tap outvto 50m with 38,000 ftp using 230grn . Its a great head spliter if needed also. |

#3 That it can be hacked is the best thing that can happen. The worse thing is it doesn't sell in the US. |
