Not sure I’m quite ready to trust the average techno-gadget failure rate on something like this just yet.

I agree. This is a dumb idea. Next somebody will suggest guns that need keys. Oh yeah, they have “trigger locks”. That don’t work.
If some one has a two legged or four legged varmit that needs killing, then the last thing they need or can afford is a misfire.
Gun is a simple tool. Only an idiot would make it more complex. Complexity leads to failures. Failures in a life or death situation are unacceptable.
