  1. One of the James Bond movies featured a 'smart gun', which incidentally went stupid just in time to get a Bad Guy killed. Another 'proprietary' feature was the MagnaTrigger, which made an appearance in the '90s. The idea was to have a block in the gun that was operated by a ring on the shooter's hand; no electronics, just magnets. Massad Ayoob wrote about it, and even mentioned using one for his HD gun. This is also where external safties can come in handy: They can delay an adversary's use of one's own gun long enough for the owner to take corrective action. Mas has documented a number of cases where this has saved a police officer's life--even a mag safety!
