good luck using this if the other guy has night-vision or IR.
Most 3rd generation night vision goggles only have a detection range of 300 meters. I doubt anyone utilizing this would get that close. Plus, America only wages war against poor countries that can't afford night vision.
Now all we need is an attachment to get a digital feed from the sniper's optics so you can take pictures with the iPhone's camera and upload your headshots to your .Mac account webpage.
what a nice accessory for my ipod touch.
they only problem how can I ship it overseas ?
@G0DM0D333
Don't worry, I could see a cigarette in a field without any problems with my night-vision.
I just put 3 bullets in a Tango's head - and now I can check my email or listen to my podcasts...
I'd be more concerned about the enemy hearing them rock out to some Neil Young.
The Mullahs/Iranians, the Russians, Chinese, and all the greedy Euros funneling arms are oh-so-poor! Careful you don't shoot yourself with this thing.
... unless you have to.
Tried this with my 4th gen iPod, hard drive only lasted 1 shot, good thing the Touch is solid state!
Iraq had NVGs that they got from Syria, Marines found em' when we invaded.
I want this as a Perk on call of duty!
i personally prefer the awp
awps are t3h suck. scoutz FTW!
Yeah, good look with that. You obviously know little fo warfare. See: Project SALVO.
An "awp" as you call it, is a police rifle, you'd be better off with the AI PM, by the way.
+1 for Scout!! . . just shoot 4 the head!!
Scout's accuracy sucks standing, why you would be better off with the AWP.
Accuracy International delivers both police and military versions of their infamous rifle, and it's used by a lot ot militaries that operates in sub-zero temperatures.
So not just a police rifle.
Scoutz is for skillz.
@Technex - Seeing as I'm pretty sure a rifle's accuracy (the rifle's accuracy, not yours) doesn't change depending upon your chosen shooting position, perhaps you just don't know how to shoot in the standing position that well.
learn2counterstrike Aaron
Game Aaron?
...but can it play my fav sniping playlist while i line up all those headshots????
...these are the questions that keep me up at night...
May I suggest Filter's "Hey Man, Nice Shot" for your sniping pleasure.
It actually comes pre-loaded with Ted Nugent albums...
so, a book with some bad words in it gets denied but this gets approved?
ok then.
well thats the american way i guess, guns a-blazing but say a bad word like God and you get bleeped
Ahh, good thing that one is. That way, while the government raids all of the anti-gun liberal's houses in search of drugs or some other excuse, I'll be prepared with my iPod Touch-equipped AR-15.
Viva la resistance!
@Pik:
i prefer the dillion mini gun mounted to a moshion cencior
while the ipod remote controlls the mini gun :D

Spelling-fu
I'll take 3!
like in the note "doesn't make us want to kill" sarcasm or not you bether be joking.
"doesn't make us want to kill" sarcasm or not you bether be joking.
Too bad iPod/iPhones cannot run two apps concurrently - missed opportunity to calculate ballistics and listen to Godsmack's 'Awake' at the same time.
:P
yea u can listen to music and use that app at the same time as long the app ur running has sound it wont stop the music from playing
Yeah it can. pwn it and add backgrounder. hold home for 2 sec and it quits to the background. simple.
So showing this to the Sniper guys in my Guard unit next drill...
Yes, enjoy your second ammendment right, unless you live in California, Illinois, New York or Washington DC, in which case you can go f*** yourself.
You clearly don't understand the Supremacy Clause.
This is not available to the public my friend. Just go to there website. Only US Gov. and Polic Dept sales only.
You just gotta love that iCase, too. It turns your gizmo into a neat, indestructible lump of functional ugly. I like it. Does it come with a "Hello Kitty" print?
Did everyone forget about this story...?

:( This is going to be used by our soldiers fighting in the name of our country overseas. And more importantly, by guys like me here who support the 2nd amendment. Maybe if you excercised your right to bear arms, Apple and the government wouldn't be so quick to trample on your 1st amendment rights. ;)
Uhh, -_- i meant this as a reply to "you" and "Ian's" comments, respectively: "so, a book with some bad words in it gets denied but this gets approved?" and "well thats the american way i guess, guns a-blazing but say a bad word like God and you get bleeped" but I botched it and made a comment and not a reply. :/
Good job, G0DM0D333. Here's something for the folks to consider. Article 1 Section 21 of the Pennsylvania Constitution (used as a basis for the U.S. Constitution's Second Amendment) states clearly, "The right of citizens to bear arms in defense of themselves and the state shall not be questioned." Heller 5, D.C. 4 Winner: U.S. citizens.
hmm interesting...now you can calculate the bullet speed and listen to "what a wonderful world" while playing war...
This actually kinda makes me furious!
So some book gets pulled because it contains a few "bad" words but a ballistics calculator designed to make killing stuff easier is juuuust fine. We wouldn't like the kids in high school talking trash cause that would be bad but if they decide to climb that bell tower with a rifle it might just come in handy for them to have something on their PMP that could help with their AIM.
F*cktards! I'm an Apple fanboy but it's hypocrisy like this that makes me wonder...
See my above comment. Comments like this make me kinda furious. There's basically zero chance a criminal or "the kids in high school" will "climb the bell tower with a rifle" and actually know how to properly use a ballistics calculator in order to kill innocent people. This is going to be used by snipers fighting in the desert for our country.
I find it ironic how you and a few other commenters infer that this product is basically evil and then go on to complain about how Apple is trampling on your 1st amendment rights, in reference to that book they wouldn't allow on their online bookstore. Without the 2nd amendment and an armed populace no one would respect our right to free speech and expression as laid out in the first amendment at all.
Firearms are the badge of liberty. Without them there would be nothing stopping from Apple and the government from burning every book they want to.
Please think before you spam the anti-gun button like most liberals do.
What age are you. That is the most idiotic counter argument i have ever hear!
Please read something other that 'Jugs n ammo'
It's weird - over here we Brits manage to get that free speech without an "armed populace". I also don't recall seeing any libraries on fire. You lunatic.
