The right manufacturer, producing a strong and reliable weapons platform could get a safe firearm on the market, some companies are above the NRA.
Let just take HK, Heckler and Koch has so much respect and influence in the industry, if they produced a smart gun, had GSG-9 and the SAS try it and DEVGRU and the D boys get a single picture of it in SOF or hell, on the next Call of Duty cover..
that hit will fly off the shelves faster than shit through a draft dodging, pedarestic has been rock star.

2 things,
first.. RELIABLE, HK lawyers as well as PR know one single failure to fire due to new technology will be the fucking end of the whole exercise.
Second, it has to be a in a good caliber and a compact package, besides bedside guns, Concealed carry is your other target market. 9mm para, .40, and .45 are going to have to be available, first they are the most common, but if the manufacturer seems to be avoiding the bigger calibers, it can be interpreted as a lack of faith in the frame... i am myself quite suspicious as to why the new "smart gun" is being offered only in .22, my experience tells me the platform can't take the stress of anything stronger.

I call bullshit on this writer.. SQUEE May 2014 #1
