lol! Tongue What's to stop people from putting gunpowder in the bullets? That said I get where you're coming from, these are more like rubber bullets than anything particularly threatening at the moment and I get excited about anything that scares power hungry people Cheesy
Well, I don't get where you're coming from. Ammunition and its components are nowhere near as tightly regulated as firearms. People make their own ammo all the time, simply because it's cheaper than factory ammo. In most places you can walk into any gun shop and just buy bullets, gunpowder, primers, and shell casings by the thousands, no questions asked. If nobody was scared by that before, why would they be scared now?

these bullets actually work too they aren't just talking bullshit,
Of course they work. A bullet is just a roughly cylindrical object the same diameter as the gun barrel, that gets propelled towards the target by the force of the gunpowder exploding; it's kinda hard to screw that up. Literally anything that'll fit down the gun barrel will work (to some degree) as a bullet. Of course, bullets are completely useless without gunpowder. Why are you getting so excited about this?

Who cares? People have been making bullets at home for hundreds of years.

I'll be interested when we can print gunpowder.
Then we are seriously screwed.  Sad

I'm seriously wtfing about this right now and that rarely happens, I can see now why the U.S government would be so scared of this, these bullets actually work too they aren't just talking bullshit, the last one didn't look as effective though, I wonder if someone could make a sniper round?
