Smith & Wesson Unveils AI-Powered Security Turret System, Will Donate To Select Faith Based Schools

The historic firearms company has voiced its concern over the rising epidemic of school shootings plaguing the nation.

"Enough thoughts and prayers, it's time to take action," said P. James Debney, CEO of the American gun manufacturer. "Since the assault rifle ban expired, we've reaped considerable profits. Now we're exploring artificial intelligence and image recognition to apply cutting-edge technology to an issue previously limited to sci-fi and video games."

In a rare move, the company has openly discussed the technology they've developed and is considering licensing it to other gun makers. "We believe it's our patriotic duty to make this system available wherever it's needed. We envision turrets mounted in libraries, universities, churches, supermarkets, and movie theaters," added Mr. Debney.

The WOJC-AR15 (Wrath of Jesus Christ) system, dubbed "WOKE AR15," works by detecting individuals who appear suspicious and are wearing bulky clothing. The system also recognizes openly carried firearms. If a shooting incident occurs, it identifies the sound of gunshots, ensuing screams, and verifies the presence of blood or viscera using object recognition. In testing, the system neutralized a subject in under 5 seconds, potentially limiting casualties to five or six adults, or nine to twelve children, depending on foot speed.

The plan is to have up to a dozen WOKE turrets mounted in every selected school by the end of 2023. Although the system can use any rifle, the donated turrets will be equipped with their best selling S&W M&P 15 Volunteer XV Pro.

Mr. Debney concluded, "We believe the WOJC-AR15 system is a game-changer that will reduce the emotional and financial costs inflicted on Americans by overreaching government regulations."
