“The company made headlines in early 2013 when it unveiled the precision guided firearm(PGF). Think of it as a long-range, laser-guided robo rifle—as much Linux-based computer as traditional firearm.

The technology packed into TrackingPoint’s initial PGF package is so advanced that we’d heard it could have an inexperienced shooter, maybe even someone who hasn’t ever fired a gun, putting lead on targets at over 1,000 away in mere minutes. Not lifetimes. Not years. Minutes.”
