TrackingPoint XS1 Smart Rifle Automatically Aims and Shoots Targets a Mile Away, is Real-Life Triggerbot

By Jackson Chung May 25, 2015

You may have seen or heard about TrackingPoint’s $20,000 XS1 Smart Rifle in the past, but recently new videos demonstrating just how accurate it is have surfaced, including one decimating an HTC M8 smartphone.

How does it work?
