A Colorado startup is introducing America’s first biometric “smart gun” this month. Equipped with fingerprint and facial recognition, it can only be fired by authorized users.
‍
The technology aims to enhance safety by preventing children and unauthorized individuals from using the weapon. The 9mm gun is priced at $1,500 and uses an electric signal to fire bullets, a novel approach compared to traditional firearms. The startup, Biofire, says its weapon has been extensively tested for reliability.

Kai Kloepfer, CEO: “It’s just a very, very different approach and one that has involved rigorous testing and validation of every single piece of the system.”
