In reply to the discussion: Is It Time To Put Chips In Guns? [View all]flamin lib
(14,559 posts)27. Up thread you commented that
electronic control (paraphrasing) doesn't work, can't work and will never work.
Electronics, in the case of Ducati, control a camshaft (round piece of iron with bumps on it) that acts against a valve (another piece of iron).
Most new cars have electronics that control the front wheels of the car (steering), the throttle, breaks and just about every other aspect of vehicular mechanical operation.
I have admitted that retrofitting 310 million existing guns is impractical.
My problem is the attitude of it won't work so let's not pursue it. Had the OP read,"Is it time to develop chips for guns?" I doubt, based on history with this forum, that the response would be any different.
