*snicker *

I wonder if you can get a tactical phone mount for your picatinny rail?

I might just build one; just for the silly factor.

Ha. Of course it has.

That can't be good for the phone. Seems that the recoil of the rifle might rattle the delicate components of the phone apart.

Most parts are glued and soldered. But I won't test that on a phone I own.

Indeed. I have electrical items that have rattled apart on my truck. I've been through multiple GPS devices and a Blu-Ray player, for example.

I would imagine that a smartphone that sits regularly upon a heavily used rifle might experience similar rattling.

Maybe not, but while I might attach a phone to my rifle for amusement purposes, I wouldn't actually USE the rifle with the phone attached. Just seems like it might be bad for the health of the phone.
