This video analyzes the Armatix iP1, a German .22LR semi-automatic pistol designed by a former H&K engineer. It features an RFID-based 'smart gun' technology, attempting to link firing capability to an authorized user's watch. The description details the pistol's simple blowback mechanism and its electromagnetically controlled firing pin block. The video also delves into the significant controversy surrounding its potential release in the US, particularly in New Jersey, where its availability could have triggered a law mandating all non-smart handguns become illegal to sell. Despite the controversy, the iP1 never gained significant commercial traction due to dealer intimidation and ultimately failed to meet New Jersey's legal requirements.
