Gotta go for the shock value to get that ad money *smh*:
Full article over at Newsweek.
Honestly I quit reading after their 7 point simple “common-sense” solution, where half the points were retarded. I had a hunch it was only going to get worse.
My time is worth something so I don’t read long articles someone’s boss said to write, because guns are a hot topic which will pull in lots of angry comments from both sides resulting in boosted ad revenue.
Thoughts?

Andrew from GY6 videos puts in work:
0:52 – Skeletonized drum mags… I *facepalm* every time I see those. Like, are you asking for debris and random garbage to infect your magazine on purpose?
4:44 – “Casualty Carl” haha. Everyone has the Demolition Ranch style character names now. Nothing beats the Creepy Cooter voice though.
5:40 – WHOA that slow motion footage! haha and the rebound… I know someone is going to say he’s like a 1/4 mile away and it’s “parallax effect” making him look like 10 yards away… I don’t buy it though, he looks extremely close haha.
6:08 – Close call on the rebound again. He didn’t learn his lesson haha.
That sucks most of his cans are breaking. I don’t remember Demolition Ranch‘s cans breaking.

Hm! Apparently not illegal?!:
Full Story – NBC CT
I’m no FAA / federal firearms lawyer, but I don’t see how that’s legal. I thought anything to do with a mechanical trigger pull was absolutely illegal. Someone fill me in on what I’m missing please. The original video is here if you want to check it out.
Austin Haughwout, The 18 year old kid who made this is apparently an Engineering student at Central Connecticut State University. I love how the article and video talk about how he made the drone with “revenue from a previous viral video”. When it said that I was like “OH SHIT what kind of cake are we talking here?!” PFFFFFT $1500. Like why even mention that in the story? Oh and he will use the revenue from this viral video to fund his next project. A regular Nikola Tesla, this kid…
Thoughts? Do you see Austin ducking the law on this?

Larry Vuitton speaks on it:
0:19 – Damn, the guy puts on a week long 1911 building course! Sounds cool. I’m kind of over personally owning any more 1911s though. I like Glocks so much because they are inexpensive, don’t rust, and they are ready to go when you need them. The historical aspect of the 1911 is the main reason I like them now.
The video is a good watch, but definitely contains mainly guys “tooting Larry’s horn for him”.

This is a joke right? Someone please verify we’re getting trolled gently:
Yea that’s not conspicuous at all *eye roll*.
*slow clap*… that’s some expert level trolling right there if I’ve ever seen any. Even that weird looking dragon with the fedora for the ad, WTF?
$49 on the pre-order LOL. It’s always the most retarded ideas that have a patent pending too. To be a patent officer, you must have to take a few courses where they show you the funniest most ridiculous shit on the planet, and you have to prove that you won’t crack a smile or ROFL. If you do, you fail and can’t graduate. Just when you thought this product couldn’t get any more retarded EAA states “Keep an eye out for the Smart Version coming soon.”… so in other words it’s going to have a fingerprint reader or a retina scanner or bum hole print recognition of some type on it. FML… I can’t even.

I’m pretty sure this isn’t legal… But I ain’t no snitch:
Seems to work pretty awesome. Some sort of electromechanical trigger pull going on. I wonder if you could change the angle of the propellors right as the trigger was pulled, to mitigate the effect of the recoil?
When I posted this on Instagram earlier, there were some comments made about the possibility of active shooters using this type of thing from a distance. I hadn’t considered that, and the thought is pretty frightening. I brought up the point that all the active shooting scenarios I can vaguely remember, I believe most of the people were dumber than a bag of hammers (in general)… so with the current state of quadcopter mounted handguns being very DIY, I’m guessing none of those idiot scumbags could have figured it out anyway even if they wanted to. Just like with everything else though… sooner or later there will be “kits” for “airsoft purposes” up on the internet where you could buy this whole setup with a remote gopro on the front, and assemble it in your living room.
I’m guessing this video wont be up long, once the NSA finishes running it through FRML (Foliage Recognition, Matching, and Locating) and pinpoints the location.
Thoughts? Would operate remotely? (haha get it? :P)
