Is the weapon of the future already here? Meet the TrackingPoint rifle, the gun that aims for you. How does it do it?
It actually has a computerized (Linux operated) system that takes into account everything from wind and moisture levels to the shooter's movements and gravity forces. All the shooter has to do is 'tag' a target, and then, whenever they choose, they can bring the rifle back to that point. The moment the rifle is in ideal location it will fire, hitting with amazing accuracy.

Video: Explaining the rifle |
The scope performs all ballistic calculations, and even triggers the firearm to fire when it is in the proper position to hit the intended target.
Basically, it can make a sharpshooter out of anyone, which is why it has gotten a lot of criticism. Some say it is too dangerous a weapon to offer for non-military use, while others maintain it takes all the skill out of hunting.
