I don’t know the battery life, but the gun will normally be in its charging dock from which it can be drawn immediately.

I think the key thing is that this gun isn’t intended to be a field weapon, operated in mud or rain, with gloves or bloody hands, wearing goggles or face mask, carried on a belt, spend weeks away from its dock, etc. The designers have specified a pretty narrow use case.

I’m going to preorder one, and then test it very thoroughly when I get it.
