Colorado-based gun manufacturer Biofire has nearly sold out the second launch of its "smart gun" that unlocks upon fingerprint identification and 3D facial recognition. The gun is designed to lock "the moment it leaves your hand" to prevent misuse and can recognize its user even if they are wearing a mask or gloves. The gun is only available as a 9mm Luger with 10 or 15 round double-stack magazines and is made mostly of stainless steel. The "Founders Edition" has already sold out, and the gun will officially be on the market in 2024.

"Revolutionary 'Smart Gun' Utilizes Biometric Authentication"

Colorado-based startup Biofire has developed a biometric smart gun that uses facial recognition and fingerprint verification to unlock and shoot. The gun lights up green and turns on when someone authorized to use it picks it up, and turns off when they put it down. The company is accepting pre-orders for the gun, which was developed to reduce gun deaths among children and teenagers. The founder and CEO, Kai Kloepfer, dropped out of MIT to focus full-time on the project, which has received $30 million in venture capital funding.
