Armatix is the name of a company that produces mechano-electronic elements for gun safety. Basically, these people developed a system consisting of a radio receiver installed in a gun and a radio wave transmitter built into a watch. The idea behind this is that the gun fired, the clock must be within approximately 20 inches of it, but the gun stays locked.
For example, what if in the middle of the night a thief entered the house of the owner of one of these weapons, and of those coincidences of life, the clock fell off the bedside table ...?
Will you have to use the 24-hour clock for the system to be effective? If you break the watch what you do? Being
plastic (apparently quite ordinary) What happens if a burglar comes in and starts the clock on the hand or gives you a good shot with a blunt object to break it? In middle of the night, trying to target an attacker will not bother you in the light of an LED light green (or red) huge on the back of the weapon, making you vulnerable to let you also fully lit at a time when probably want to stay hidden in the dark, and probably giving the attacker an advantage to know that if the light is red, of course you do not have the watch and the gun will not fire?
If you break the clock, did you take to a retailer or a dealer?
signal emitted by the clock, will it be encrypted or just be an ordinary signal, easily reproducible through transmission equipment standard radio waves?
What if someone designed a device capable of emitting a signal on the same radio frequency clock, either to clear your weapon, or to activate it in the hands of someone who does not have the clock?
I really do not think this system is too Underway ... except for collectors who want to have "a rare and super modern" in his collection. For others, I think that this is not really practical, like other methods that promote

("Mr. Raider, wait I'll try to remember the PIN security device that locks my gun ..."). Gaston Glock
patented a similar system ("System for activating a weapon with an identification Mechanism" USPA 20030070343)
in 2003, but until now there has been any Glock with that system ... Could it be that it was the same questions and realized that the system was not really practical? ... I really do not know, but I let me just with a standard pistol, lest they pass me like poor Wikus Van De Merwe ( District 9) if science advances enough to attach the arms to DNA carriers ...
Salutti! Maybe
