winneganfakeAll right. This is more than just kind of scary.
Yes, yes, technology is awesome. Yes, guns are cool and such. But still- talk about items I would not want to see available to the general public. Not in the "machinegunsBAD" gun-control nut sense, but more in the sense of "is this really ever fucking necessary to a private citizen?" Because, let's face it- if you can afford hardware like this, you're not likely living/walking around like the example the sales rep gives. Hell even if the damn thing's dirt cheap- you probably wouldn't "go for a walk" anywhere where you'd need that kind of hardware anyways.
And yes, I can definitely see the concealment angle for military/security/etc as an advantage for some situations, or the ease of having a holdout weapon like this that does tuck neatly inside of a vest or anything, but that said, I really don't ever want to see this kind of thing make its way into the private sector.
