Two years ago, TrackingPoint made a major stir at CES with its Precision-Guided Firearm, or “Linux gun.” The weapon integrated a smart scope that displayed weather conditions, wind speeds, and other target information, and only fired the gun when the crosshairs were lined up properly on the target. Fast-forward to today, and the company has unveiled another milestone. Its new 'Mile Maker' is a custom weapon that’s capable of firing a round up to 1800 yards at a target moving at up to 30 miles per hour.
