Smart gun will put fingerprint, facial recognition technology to work

A smart gun developed by Biofire will soon start shipping to customers that pre-ordered the firearm. 

The Biofire Smart Gun features built-in fingerprint and infrared facial recognition technology that only permits use by "authorized" individuals, according to the company.

Biofire has called it the "first and only biometric firearm on the market."

The gun is a full-sized 9mm, striker-fired semiautomatic pistol. It features magazine sizes of 10 and a double-stacked 15-round magazine.
