ID Sniper Rifle Fires GPS Tracking Chip Into Unwitting Humans

It sounds too good to be true, and our source link thinks that very well might be the case, but screw physics: we want one of these. The ID Sniper Rifle from Empire North of Denmark apparently fires a GPS-microchip into an unsuspecting human target "without causing any internal damage."

Supposedly the target won't even know they've been tagged, since the shot stings about as much as a mosquito bite. It's unclear how a GPS transmitting module can be large enough to be tracked from a distance from inside a human body while failing to even hurt enough to notice, but we want to believe. In addition to firing such a gentle projectile, the rifle also zooms in on and captures a picture of the fired-upon target.

Empire North is currently courting law enforcement agencies with the gun.
