Gun still won't work when it does recieve the damn signal. They demoed it
a couple of months ago, and it took the designers, both of whom are
electrical engineers and gunsmiths, twenty minutes of poking in the guts of
it to get it to work. Twnety minutes is more than enough time to kill
someone, reguardless of your method of choice. No thanks, that crap
doesn't go on metal children.
It also isn't hard to disable. You just have to know basic gunsmithing
and electronics to rip it out. Say, B/R Firearms and Electronics rolls,
both TN 3, to disable it in game terms.
