iPod Touch mounted on M110 Sniper Rifle
We have seen some cool iPhone applications come out for shooting sports. But nothing comes close to the sheer awesomeness of the Knights Armaments M110 iPod Touch mount and accompanying ballistics software.

The M110 is the 7.62×51mm semi-automatic sniper system which won the Army’s competition to replace the aging M24 bolt action sniper system. While it will not replace the M24 in the near future, the system is seeing action in Iraq and Afghanistan.

The rifle is based on the SR-25, which in turn is based on the Stoners’ AR-10 design.

Knights Armaments have developed a mounting system for the iPod Touch that attaches to a side mounted picatinny rail. The mount attaches to an Otterbox protective case.

KAC contracted Runaway technologies to build an external ballistics calculator for the iPod Touch / iPhone named Bullet Flight. It is your standard ballistics application. You can set firearm / ammunition profiles, then call up the saved profile and enter your environment information, for example, distance, wind direction, elevation and temperature

I wonder how your average Apple fan feels about the potential of Apple products being used to kill people in a very personal manner?

That is truely awesome...

Why spend hundreds of thousands on custom hardware when instead you can pay some geek in his basement 2,000 bucks to write an i-pod app.

On the other hand, that one more glowing/shinning object to give the sniper away and one more distraction...hell if it was me I'd be listening to some Oysterhead on the job not hear the guy come up behind me and then get my face blown off.

Wow. Thats much cheaper than a 3 million dollar advancement.

Hopefully Apple will endorse the next Call of Duty game! Hellz yeah!

Probably not much worse than Dell or Texas Instruments would feel about the same software being used to "kill people" on a PC or graphing calculator...
