Military Visual Augmentation System Promises Shooting Around Corners and More, But It’s In Development Hell
Technology has, slowly but surely, improved firearms. The oldest firearms weren’t very good at all, at least until European bellmakers improved on those early Chinese designs. Better powder, better bullets, better actions, modern cased ammunition, all lead to where we are today. Now the digital world is becoming a big part of the shooting world, […]
