Call me stupid but what's preventing someone from taking control of these guns via some kind of fancy pants hacking?

I would assume that the movement of the guns is very limited. Only being able to turn a few degrees in each direction.

in the FAQ they talk about having an on site monitor so you can't shoot a bird flying by.

So I am assuming the radius is not as limited as you think, otherwise how would you be able to shoot a deer?

It's not like they're in a holding pen, is it? You can't just hope it will eventually walk through your 9 degree window. A 360 degree radius is the only thing that would make sense unless this is completely set up and they dump a drugged deer in front of the gun 2 minutes before your time to shoot comes up.

In the event a deer does get shot, a human has to go pick it up. While he swalking out there the said 'fancy pants hacker' caps him in the head. I wouldn't want that job.

Or they can leave the dead deer there, and attract all sorts of predators for you to shoot as well. Lions, tigers, and bears, oh my!

I'd imagine they'd almost have to physically disconnect the system when doing clean up to prevent that from happening.

That might be the most pathetic thing I have ever seen on the internet...and i've seen fat kids in banana suits light themselves on fire with lighter fluid.

On the news segment they had this guy paralyzed from the neck down doing it with some special setup. Like trying to justify the lack of 'sport' because special people can hunt now.

The hunter they interviewed said it was much more difficult than hunting in real life because the fine-tuned movement was lost (the cross-hair seemed to move in larger increments than you would assume). It does not move as fluid as a person holding a rifle.

He said had he been hunting those same deer in the real world, they would have been dead.

the girl just closed her eyes and spam clicked while saying "hey check it out! am i hitting anything? did i get a deer yet?"

Would be kinda nice to have a heavily stocked area that disabled only people could play in or something. Haha, that's a paradox, it's killing animals but helping people at the same time. I don't know whether to support or based on morals or not support it based upon morals.

Whyme · 05-08-2005, 09:12 PM

Should just outlaw Hunting for sport period while they're at it.

findar · 05-08-2005, 09:40 PM
