As mean as this may sound, can I get three of the machines. It will keep me smiling.

TSgt Joshua Copeland well you have photos and it is on the Internet so it must be true. I have to agree with CW5 Private RallyPoint Member on the novel idea and placed in the right demographic could be a very lucrative business.

Nice, and there's not a damn thing wrong with it but I'm sure the local SJW's will be against it.

Too bad there wasn't slots for ear plugs and maybe safety glasses. Beyond the raised eyebrow aspect would be some significant legal issues if the ammo is produced (reloaded) by someone in their garage. Improperly produced ammo (double charge, no powder, etc.) is a hazard. So the first time something happens, standby for the lawyer brigade. If the ammo is from one of the factory firms, that's better. I gag on any notion that a lead bullet runs 40-60 cents a round as I make my own for around $3-4/box
for plinking stuff. That's from the days of doing that (Buck a box) was all I could afford. I do have to laugh as many countries have beer machines on the streets. Japan comes to mind. Kids don't tend to use them because it's part of their cultural norm. Here, the culture is if it's there, why not? What next? Machines that spit out baseball bats at the car repair place? If you do this kind of thing when running for election, you want the election to be over before the OPFOR mobilizes against you.
