A subsidiary of the Japanese electronics giant, NEC Custom Technica, has introduced a civilian version of the laser rifle, which allows target shooting anywhere, anytime. The rifle, which emits an infrared laser beam, was developed at the behest of the Japan Olympic Committee, which wanted to promote sport shooting and to reduce the use of lead bullets. When the rifle is pointed at the target - a small cube that sits on a tripod and is plugged into a computer - your aim is shown on the monitor. Scores are tabulated after every shot. The results can be posted online so that teachers can check your work remotely. You can even hold virtual tournaments with competitors who also have the rifles and their Windows-compatible software. NEC has sold the rifles (and pistols that use the same technology) to schools and, perhaps surprisingly, nursing homes. Researchers in Japan found that Alzheimer's patients showed improved concentration skills when using the gun. NEC says it hopes to sell 6,000 of the sets in the United States during the next two years, though it has not yet set a date when they will become available. At 400,000 yen ($3,330), the rifle and target are not cheap. As war games go, though, the system is a bargain. _______________________________________________ Policedo mailing list --__--__-- _______________________________________________ Eskrima mailing list Eskrima@martialartsresource.net http://martialartsresource.net/mailman/listinfo/eskrima http://eskrima-fma.net Old digest issues are available via ftp://ftp.martialartsresource.com.
