I'm pretty sure there's money for everything and they should spend more on weapon research. These money can always have a better use, than weapon research, always! | ||

Are we talking about the same country? The USA has ALOT of money and its spread among alot of different programs. So since there is "media" focus on a certain subject doesnt mean that other projects are forgotten. | ||

that ´just sounds like a waste of bullets, they should just try to figure out anti-matter and make a weapon out of that... or a battlecruiser | ||

It just wouldn't be made by the Jews in Nazi Germany, the Blacks in colonial America, the Kurds in Iraq, the Tutsis in Rwanda and so on. In my opinion, investing in weapons techonology prevents war. There has been no shortage of evil dictators over the past 50 years. If not for the threat of being blasted into the stone age by the US/NATO would they just be sitting idle? If all the democratic/developed nations are armed with swords and crossbows, I don't think they will maintain their independence very long. From the other side -- If North Korea's investment in nuclear techonology pays off, will war with them be more likely or less likely? | ||

But rate of fire is not such a great selling point for personal weapon. There's a reason why M-16s are only shot in bursts -- if everyone was shooting full auto everytime, the ammo would just get too expensive, run out too quickly, and accuracy goes down. The military and police want their people to be disciplined when firing their weapons, and rather them hit their targets with less amount of shots fired. | ||

How does you wanting to injure someone for creating a weapon (presumably for injuring others) make sense? Hippy talk. In the middle ages they chopped a hand off someone who committed burglary, or an and it worked. If you're against excessive violence, you don't have to refrain from any type of violence. I'm against wars and killing people, but there's nothing wrong with some forms of corporal punishment (slapping a kid on their hand when they're repeatingly doing something that's not allowed is one example). By just using violence to those 100 weapons manufacturers you might save more lives elsewhere. But i don't think this type of gun will revolutionize anything. It may take the reliability from 95% to 99%, and i don't really see the point of multiple bullets shot at the same spot when 1 already kills. | ||
