Is the sniper rifle really necessary?! Unless you're planning on eliminating the cell phone user so they never discover the hack. Otherwise, wouldn't a stand-alone scope do just as well, and get you into a lot less trouble from law enforcement?
The scope and the rifle are already calibrated. If you use a stand alone scope, where exactly will you fit the antenna. I actually think its pretty cool. Wonder what their defense would be if they got caught pointing the rifle at someone.
This is not a rifle, it is a rifle stock with a scope and antenna which resembles a rifle.
Scopes do not come "already calibrated" to the rifle. Each person holds a rifle differently (cheek weld, etc.) and so each rifle (with normal sights or a scope) must be sighted in to that specific person.
To my knowledge, there is no law anywhere that makes it illegal to point an antenna at someone. So, they do not require any defense to prosecution...

Yeah, but if it's an antenna mounted on a rifle stock that looks a lot like a rifle, you could be shot (justifiably) by the cops in their self-defense. Hell, the cops have killed people holding toy guns or cell phones and gotten off. Something that is mounted on a rifle stock and looks a lot like a rifle is not something you'd want to be pointing at people
Wouldn't you have to recalibrate the scope to take into account the fact that the radio signal isn't going to drop the way a bullet does? I would think that you could just wire-tie the scope to the axis of the antenna, maybe inserting some insulation in between them. No need to go around upsetting people who are afraid of guns.
A question: If my rifle is a muzzleloader, does this mean I have to use Morse code instead of Bluetooth?
