Taking "Stop or I'll shoot!" literally

Leonard Goh | Jun 30, 2008

It's often a matter of life and death when a pistol is drawn from the holster, and sometimes things get complicated when the person being aimed (or shot) at is innocent. Law enforcers have been trying to protect their own people, but your conventional off-the-shelf camera probably won't survive rough handling in dangerous situations.

Well, good news for them now because there is the PistolCam. It is a device to fit onto regular pistols or even small rifles. When removed from the holster, the camera automatically starts to record video clips (with audio) at 30 frames per second for a maximum of 60 minutes. It can also capture 3.2-megapixel still images.

Besides helping to improve accuracy when firing, the tactical illuminator and laser targeting light can help brighten the scene for another party who may be viewing the situation in real time.

You can forget about thinking of attaching the digicam to your Nerf gun. The PistolCam is available only to licensed agencies like police and other law enforcement firms.
