I'm disappointed just reading this.

Does it pew pew the pews? And do little pope hats get ejected like shell casings?

My first rodeo was in Grand lakes Colorado. I had just eaten a pot Brownie. 30-40mins in, at about the same time I was coming to the realization that I was indeed quite high, the rodeo clown appeared and started walking around the stands. I have never avoided eye contact with someone so hard in my life.

But now I can unironically say, "this isn't my first rodeo", and I find that amusing, so that's nice.

Check out what Onyx Industries is doing with MARSOC if you want to get a glimpse of something much more advanced than this. Threat detection, tracking and characterization, along with precision shots, autonomous operation, and capable of working in gps denied environments. Vs the spot knockoff with a go pro. I know who I'm betting on.

The army was experimenting with bringing the weight down. The one in the picture is stamped sheet metal, but they also experimented with stamped aluminum. Only 30 were ever made. I don't think they ever planned to produce them in mass. Its a proof of concept.

Highly recommend the Springfield armory museum. Theres a whole section of experimental designs. Some really cool stuff.
