DogmaDog Posted June 24, 2002 Share Posted June 24, 2002 Saw this article posted on talk.shooters.com, where they don't like it because they think the anti-gunners will make it mandatory (not too improbable, granted): http://www.kypost.com/2002/jun/21/guns062102.html Basically proposing a coin sized shot timer that would be placed inside the grip of a pistol. I think it would be a pretty neat idea, especially if you could download shot data from your gun to a computer with a scanner. Also would be cool to have a recoil actuated timer instead of sound actuated, so multiple shooters could shoot at once on some courses of fire. What do y'all think?

Rich Bagoly Posted June 25, 2002 Share Posted June 25, 2002 I remember seeing an ad for a set of grips with a LCD display shot counter. It was suposed to show the number of rounds left in the mag. Anyone ever see one of those? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricW Posted June 26, 2002 Share Posted June 26, 2002 Sorry Erik and SG, I am current champion of destroying all things electronic. My powers are so vast that I'm able to render products inert before I ever receive them. Give me the counter. I shall bring it to it's knees before it gets loaded on the UPS van. [Thank God none of my guns take batteries, or I'd never make it through a match. ] E Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ErikW Posted June 27, 2002 Share Posted June 27, 2002 Oh yeah? Last night I turned my tumbler on and it popped and threw sparks and smoke. Scared the shjt out of me. (This is the Midway tumbler that was recalled for a fire hazard.) I thought that stuff only happened in the movies.

EricW Posted June 27, 2002 Share Posted June 27, 2002 OK tough guy, try this... Have a hairdryer short out and blow up in your hand - giving you small 3rd degree burns. I can't believe I haven't been recruited by Underwriters Laboratories by now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shooter Grrl Posted June 27, 2002 Share Posted June 27, 2002 Bah - you ain't killed nothing until you've killed the alarm and battery and ignition system on your truck - it was an accident - I swear :-) I've also broken both door handles on the truck (why won't it open - yank - oh - it's locked Hairdryer's average life expectancy is 3 weeks (it's actually in the budget every 3 weeks!) c-more batteries get replaced every 2 weeks. And lastly, at least once a year, I break, sprain or twist both my ankles and wrists (yup - I'm in a wrist brace now - grrrrr!) Seems I have a problem walking :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nik Habicht Posted June 27, 2002 Share Posted June 27, 2002 Kath, Am I gonna see your picture if I look up klutz in the dictionary? I couldn't resist ---- I'm almost remorseful but it was so out there.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shred Posted June 27, 2002 Share Posted June 27, 2002 Yeah SG, I can relate. Every so often I get asked who my doctor is. I say "I don't have a regular doctor, but I've got an orthopedist". She sees me come in the door and it's "What sport was it _this_ time??" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shooter Grrl Posted June 28, 2002 Share Posted June 28, 2002 Am I gonna see your picture if I look up klutz in the dictionary? No need to be remorseful Nik - the answer is a resounding YES! So much so, my family calls me Kathy Klutz... shoulda seen the look on my dad's face when he saw me "running around with a gun"!!! And then of course there's the skiing story - but I'll save that one for a rainy day :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
