How can I use my i(product) to shoot things?

So you want to fire weapons at long distances from your target, but you kinda suck?
Well, no fear, there is an app for that!
Ballistic for iOS

Ballistics calculation programs have been around since there were punch cards, but now you can take a snazzy UI device with you that calculates windage, declination, velocity, target impulse.... and dynamic angle acquisition!
Angle Acquisition-
Aim the iPhone at the target like a remote control, then press the LOS Angle table cell. After a three-second countdown, the table cell will be updated with the correct shooting angle to the target based on the accelerometer reading. A preview label displays the angle prior to capturing it. The angle can also be inverted by 90° making it suitable for use in a weapons mount. The HUD (Field Tactical Edition only) automatically locks onto your current angle and updates your calculations every second.
Wait... What? That sounds like something you would use for shooting pe...
Midnight Skin -
Turn on the midnight skin if you prefer an all black theme.
ople.
:shock: :wtf:
Yeah, 'cause that zebra 500 yards away is going to get spooked b/c of your iPod brightness setting, not the fact that you are standing on a tactical vehicle with a large caliber gun installed on a two-axis mount.
That is not for hunting. That is for shooting people.
Reach out and touch someone?
Who wants to bet that the majority of the people who have bought the program also own back issues of Soldier of Fortune, pay their electric bill (if they even have one) by Western Union cash transfer, and have a mustache/beard/stubble, and dress in black and/or denim?

Well, since this will only ever be for iOS products, the last two hold for most of the platform users, J/K. Jobs is dead.
Patience is the ability to idle your motor when you feel like stripping your gears
