Boeskov brought drawings of this weapon to a weapons fair in Beijing, China, where the weapon received positive reactions from real weapons dealers, politicians and policemen. Boeskov described the project ''"like being a sci-fi writer caught in his own novel"'' 〔(WNYC radio interview )〕 The project received worldwide press〔(IT media Japan article about the ID Sniper )〕 and caused Boeskov to receive purchase orders from military and security agencies from around the world. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Jakob Boeskov」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
