1. Wow, nobody’s ever thought of that before…

   Okay, I like a challenge. Let’s make a modern Musket. No “bullets.” But a hopper of powder, a bunch of lead balls, and an automatic breech-loader system. Oh, and electric ignition.

   Betcha it can comfortably hold more than 30 shots’ worth, and no “magazines” in sight either. Think that might make Skippy there happy?

   1. The lead ball is the bullet. This idiot[not you] doesnt seem to understand bullets and cartridges are two different things

   2. There’s also the idea of using the same gas and combustion chamber as a hoseless nail gun.

      1. Dont those use .22 blanks anyway?

         1. Paslode makes framing nailer guns that use a gas cartridge for fuel and electronic ignition. No powder charges.

            1. That’s the one I’m thinking of.
               They also make large caliber air rifles these days (.22/.25/.357/.45).

2. Ah yes, one nightmare constructed decades ago by the great very unlamented Teddy Kennedy.

3. When bullets are outlawed, only outlaws will have bullets. The law abiding will have gyrojets.

4. Lead bullets are thousands of years old — they were originally for slings.

   1. Ooh, good one! Mr. Crawford is right! The Roman army often had soldiers using the old-style sling (a la David and Goliath). They went one better than looking for stones in the riverbed, and had lead bullets: “The best ammunition was cast from lead. Leaden sling-bullets were widely used in the Greek and Roman world. For a given mass, lead, being very dense, offers the minimum size and therefore minimum air resistance. In addition, leaden sling-bullets are small and difficult to see in flight.” — wikipedia

      1. Plus, you can get more consistency by casting your own instead of grabbing random rocks. Which means consistent accuracy.

5. And they breed.

   1. More like “passively-aggressively Facebook stalking the few girls willing to friend them”, with a good helping of “loudly virtue-signaling their male feminist ally”, and generally being too much of a soi-boi gamma male over actually breeding.

6. This guy’s a genius, I totally don’t have any ammo saved. Man, he’s got us.

7. But hey, you can have freedom of the press but you need to fill out this form and register your ink. What do you mean you want open access to an online presence? There was no wire/ wireless communication in 1776? /sarc/

8. Ban libtards – there’s no amendment preserving the right of loudmouth commie douchebags to brutally infringe on the rights of citizens.

9. […] Stupid, party of one. Your table is ready. […]

10. If you want to play word games…the Constitution only specifies freedom of the “press” so unless that idiot has a printing press he needs to be quiet. No internet for him “cos” it did not exist back then.
