If you watch carefully, you’ll see that the congresswoman struggled briefly to get the phone to take her fingerprint and open. Anyone who has used phone fingerprint readers also knows that they often don’t work at all if your hand is wet, sweaty, or dirty. When the difference between shooting and getting shot can come down to hundredths of a second, little hesitations and malfunctions matter a lot.
Most people are perfectly happy with what’s basically proven 19th-century technology with small improvements, and don’t want to risk malfunction. But, there is one clean technology that has managed to make its way onto many people’s guns, and they’re not only happy to have it there, but get increased reliability from it.Many innovations in firearms technology start off in competition shooting, and today’s cleantech story starts there.
Red dot sights had been around for rifles and even BB guns for a while, but never on the semi-automatic pistols common in military, policing, and concealed carry. But, some competition shooters in the late 80s and early 90s started experimenting with putting them on pistols. You couldn’t put them on the slide because the motion was too violent and would destroy any scopes you attached. So, they added a huge, unwieldly and heavy mount to the side to attach the scope to the frame.
But, the Fudds still had one valid argument: what do you do if the battery goes bad or runs out during a big emergency? That’s where a company called Holosun came in, offering red dot sights with little solar panels to keep the red dot charged up from not only the sun, but from any light that hits it, like a calculator.
