They clearly didn't read the instructions carefully. Clearly, the user has to look straight down the barrel when making the first attempt to fire!!🎯🫣

Yeah, I can't wait until my gun starts updating firmware when I need it in a self-defense scenario.
Or the government can brick it if I say something offensive online.

Yeah new technology always has its glitches - if the gun starts glitching-up just kindly tell the criminal to wait a minute while you work out the problem with the gun - problem solved

Fortunately anyone ordering said gun almost certainly already owns 30 or 40 other guns that do work.

I mean seriously this is the USA we’re talking about.

Imagine your gun needs to open up a chat window with some guy in India so he can talk you through getting it to work while your fighting for your life. And then the Wi-Fi goes out.....

Me: "Alexa, shoot the guy attacking me!"

Gun: "Sorry, I didn't catch that, can you repeat that?"

Me: dead
