Company debuts vending machines selling ammunition in 3 Southern statesVending machines selling ammunition will now be in grocery stores in Alabama, Texas and Oklahoma a move that has generated mixed feelings from officials in those states.
American Rounds, the distributor of the machines, uses AI technology to scan the customers identification as well as facial recognition software to verify a customers identity, according to the companys website.
The software works together to verify the buyers age and that the person using the machine matches the identification scanned.
Each machine sells ammunition for various firearm calibers, including rifles, shotguns and handguns, according to American Rounds.
