As dangerous as a machine gun (Merged)

This is good for a laugh.


Jonathan Spencer, consultant forensic scientist and firearms expert, said that although the gun, which fires bullets at a speed of 399 feet a second, was tiny, it could still prove fatal and in the eyes of the law was as dangerous as a machine gun.

Talking

He'd best monitor the cranium, which could prove fatal, as well, if it gets pushed in any deeper. Perhaps he should stick to forensics.

I posted about it on another forum,270 mph isn't fast when you consider most handgun velocitys are in the 1000 to 1500 fps range,I know some bb guns fire faster than 270 mph,and a price tag of $6000 you can keep your roach killer

That's been around for a while. I don't know how that could really be classified as a deadly weapon - you can make a paintball gun shoot a projectile many orders of magnitude heavier at about the same speeds...never mind the 1,000 fps airguns out there. Sure, it could hit you in the eye, but then again so could an icicle...

Well, crud. Let's issue them to soldiers in Iraq. They are in dire need of some literal weight taken off their backs. This should be just the thing.

so lemme get this straight, a hyper expensive gun, that can't be imported into the states, can't be sold in some euro places without permission from the police.

what the heck is the problem?

Some of the pictures have it hooked up to what looks like a key ring....
