Marines Testing Counter-Drone Rifle Aiming System With Automatically Moving Stock

Automated targeting systems that can go on any rifle could help with the push to make every Marine a counter-drone defender.

Where ZeroMark’s offering differs most substantially is in its motorized articulating buttstock, which uses the data from the sensors to help physically move the gun’s point of aim. This, in turn, helps the shooter engage the target with greater precision and speed.

Definitely interesting, but I think this has little to no use in the Airgun community given the type of shooting we do.

Also if I were a betting man I’d say they won’t take a service contract on the stock, I don’t work in defense acquisition but I think there’s better tools for the job.

Regardless, I’ve never seen something like this so I’m happy you posted it! Thank you @Matt247365

Well in my sleep deprived state, tossing and turning in bed, my brain have kicked out " what if you fit a gyro stabilized on a rifle to counter L & R cant "
When you can stabilize a huge ship, granted with very much mass spinning, surely you can " lock " down a little rifle.

Would probably be too much to carry around, but at a bench.

My brain have also been coughing out " what about a up/down enabled rifle rest + a digital scope, so you could aim at your target and hit the Lock button and the rest / bipod would make sure your target is tracked / lined up 100 %. "

Of course this entail some on the fly image processing, and then a simple control of 2 axis gimbal.
And coding of course so i am out of contention here.

@Peashooter @Matt247365 I always think of this whenever people start talking about tech upgrades
