This is a HUGE improvement over those pistols that need a ring or bracelet to fire.
Sales pitch: "Once your pistol is `trained` to fire by osmosis, it will only fire on your non-verbal command. no one else can shoot it. Of note the former rule of safe gun handling entitled 'always keep your finger off the trigger' has now been replaced with 'do not think `man, I'd like to cap that jack wagon.`'"

From an advertisement I saw for the movie 'Deadpool.' Apparently already cooking off rounds because this MP5 pistol is able to fire while the shooter's finger isn't on the trigger. A new feature.

Skyfall just had a bolt action rifle so semi-auto. Skyscraper "sniper" scene and the fist fight after the shot.

There'll be a protracted sequence where the good guy moves cautiously down corridors and peers around corners, gun always at the ready. Then, to heighten tension, the good guy will rack the slide. So during all the silliness before, he wasn't prepared to shoot?
This is one of my pet peeves. Similarly, the person pointing a gun at someone while the gun holder rattles off a monologue, and then when they get to the part where they threaten the other person they rack the slide to prove that they're serious (with a menacing stare). Same thing, during all the silly speech giving they weren't ready to shoot?
