That is real. Really real. They are backed up on orders.

It is listed as being accurate up to 1,200 yards, uses gps found in smart phones and can collaborate with said smart phone to target a victim. It takes video and all sorts of other things as well.

You can find me in a shack out in the woods, if you can find the shack that is, because I fear things like this like nothing else.

Really? My biggest fear when it comes to guns isn't that someone who wants to kill me can, it's that someone who doesn't want to kill me will because they screw-up. I don't think this weapons system does anything to worsen the latter scenario.
