Game and Story Use
- In a Dystopia/Crapsack World, sufficiently evil businessmen could install such gun-webcams in slums or third world nations, and subscribers could use them to shoot at people for fun.
- Taken a step further, such gun cameras could be installed on remotely controlled robots so that subscribers could hunt people down instead of "merely" sniping at them.
- Hey, make this a military application and then we could make rooting Terry out of Afghanistan self financing … whole new gloss on 'Call of Duty:Modern Warfare'.
- What could possibly go wrong with a weapon that was remote controlled over the internet?
- Would make quite an interesting opening to a murder/forensics style adventure.
