Cyphre Iredell Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 Neat little concept, but failing against Barrett's offering, which already has pertinent data stored for things like ballistic coefficient. Even my phone, and other windows mobile based phones can install a bullet trajectory computer, others even go so far to use GPS data and weather tracking (such as the Cheytec). Sure got a fancy little mount though! Can't imagine they could seriously make an iPod touch durable enough for military speciifcations though XD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cygna Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 Wouldn't repeated firing of that high powered rifle cause sensitive parts inside the iPod Touch to loosen and eventually dislodge? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyphre Iredell Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 The pressure of the cartridge would probably cause the screen to crack as it is. But that would be one tough case around it, whatever it is. I suppose the screen would have to be exposed either way though for its functionality Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sekonda Huet Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 I had a similar case fitted to my motorcycle for a GPS. Thusly it's probably made of rubber. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krow Ames Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 The Cheytec that Cyphre mentioned earlier is a very fine rifle, built around a custom cartridge. It's a very very sexy marriage of digital technology and gunsmithing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyphre Iredell Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 Yus, although I think utilizing a Palm, rather than some other mobile device using a universal OS like windows mobile :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
