ATF: you can't make alcohol or tobacco look like candy or market them for kids.

Also the ATF: turns a blind eye to bespoke gun maker who do things like make kits to make guns look like it's made out of legos

Idk, there are some awfully festive jello shots a my local booze store.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

You can absolutely make alcohol look like candy. When's the last time you ordered a cocktail?

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

I had a cotton candy cocktail topped with actual cotton candy.

I know I'm meant to hate it because making guns look like toys is bad.. but it does look pretty great

[-] [email protected] -2 points 2 months ago

This is one of those things.

Like yeah, i get it. It's honestly kinda cool.

But can you please FUCKING NOT.

[-] [email protected] 0 points 2 months ago

Don't know why you're being downvoted. I agree with you, sure, it looks cool, but why?

The chance for something bad to happen just increases with things like this. Accidental gun-related deaths are already a thing that happens too much.

I modded my vehicle to look like a giant hotdog. Maybe I should think twice before I contribute to the obesity epidemic. I can't help but feel partly responsible for causing people to over eat and kill themselves.

[-] [email protected] 0 points 2 months ago

Two very different things. Obviously cars kill many people every year, that's not the intended purpose, and making one look like a hotdog won't realistically increase the probability of a child seeing it, thinking it's a toy, and hurting themselves or someone else.

Guns are made to kill things, making an instrument of death look like a toy can definitely increase the probability of a bad outcome.

Hmmm. Red herring or strawman?

Finally a worthy weapon to take down Nintendo's laywers.

accidentally grabs this instead of the real Zapper when playing Duck Hunt. Destroys TV. Dog laughs at you.

[-] [email protected] 9 points 2 months ago

That's not a safety hazard at all...

[-] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago

I was about to roast this but realized I have stuff in my house that would likely be "worthy" of the same roasting from others.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

Please tell us what it is so we can enjoy roasting you, or at least marvel at how cool your stuff is.

Be careful what you wish for ๐Ÿ™ˆ

I wonder if this could be one of the .38 special diy sheet metal pistols, but with a 3d printed nintendo cover, it's probably a prop gun tho

EDIT: it's not completely diy, but just a glock with a "skin" like in cs:

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

Definitely not 38 special, that's a straight wall cartridge you'd expect to see in a revolver. Also, it's hard to tell but this looks much bigger than say a Glock 42 that would be chambered in .38 caliber. My guess is this is a Glock 17 which is a 9mm, but it's really hard to tell from the picture.

Also this clearly isn't made of sheet metal.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

so, I mistook the caliber, I remembered .38 when it was actually .380 in the blue print of the diy sheet metal pistol. and you could do a similar customization. + I'm was tired and am stupid

EDIT: I'm refferencing the diy sheet metal pistol mk3

[-] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

What ammo does this cannon use?

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

Looks like .45 but could be 9mm

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

Could be .40 too!

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

I want one. Maybe two.
