Saw that on tv maybe a year ago. Didn't know what OS was on it. Shame I can't buy one.

Yeah, I wasn't able to tell which distro is on it either.

It seems to me that the barrel is too short for the rifle designed to hit a target at 1 mile.
May be it uses a homing bullets? It might explain why it costs over $40000 :D

Evidently once you pick your target the computer works it all out for the target to be stuck accurately-
I'm not sure what kind of bullets it uses.
If your a civilian it will cost you between $10,000.00 and $27,000.00.

The Army is testing it so I'm curious how this rifle will pan out.

You get 200 rounds (with the rifle) and each round is $8.00 that's $1,600.00. That's the most expensive ammo I've ever heard of and I use to hunt.
