Safeguarding the power of a shotgun with the security of a unique computer chip.
iGun Technology Corp is building a Magnetic Tag-enabled shotgun that is activated by a ring worn by the user. When the ring comes in close range to the normal ring-finger placement on the firearm’s stock, the iGun compares a unique code from the ring to the gun to see if there is a match. If the code matches, the trigger unlocks.
My family has been in the firearms business for three generations and now I am integrating the most reliable 12-gauge shotgun on the market with magnetic token-access technology. — Jonathan Mossberg, iGun Technology Corp
The iGun works through a mechanism that blocks the trigger while the gun is at rest. The user wears a ring with a special system that triggers power to the iGun system when the ring comes in close range to the normal ring-finger placement on the firearm’s stock. When the iGun senses that the ring is near enough, it compares a unique code from the ring to the gun to see if there is a match. If the code matches and certain other conditions are met, an electric current from the battery bank actuates a mechanism to unblock the trigger.
The iGun is designed to function under rigorous conditions: it is waterproof and functions even if the user has dirty hands or is wearing gloves. Its platform is based on the most reliable shotgun design in the world, the only one that meets MilSpec 3433E. Additionally, the iGun is designed to exceed industry standards (SAAMI) and National Institute of Justice (NIJ) standards for drop tests. There are no complicated switches, lights, or buttons. We designed the iGun to operate transparently to the firearm’s user; that is, a user is not required to complete any additional operations other than those customary to traditional firearm operation.’
