To fire the gun, the shooter must be wearing a special ring concealing a transponder which communicates a code to the pistol. "If it's lost or stolen it can't be used," inventor Mike O'Dwyer said. Metal Storm says it hopes to sell the electronic pistol to police and the military in Australia and North America. Under pressure from demands for greater gun control, U.S. gunmakers have been researching various technologies for weapons that can only be fired by their owners. ===================END FORWARDED MESSAGE===================
