Shot Glove

Ever since the world saw James Cameron's personally designed M41A rifle for the 1986 movie Aliens, the idea of a weapon that tells you how many shots you have left has fascinated the shooting world. Many great attempts to retrofit this feature into weapons have been tried, even having the magazines themself keep track of ammo count. Augmenting firearms to hold sensitive electrical components is not only beyond the skill of many gunsmiths, but how much kinetic shock can microelectronics take before they break? Even with these problems solved, the solution would not work across other weapon systems and calibers. Thus, Black Swan Down approach this problem by disassociating the firearm from the process and developed the Shot Glove.
