    The suspect had posted a video of the manufacturing process on a video streaming site, and when investigators found the video on a “cyber patrol,” they seized it and analyzed it, and it was found to have a structure capable of firing live ammunition and lethality.

    Sicc, I want one

    • “Lethality”? If that’s the size of it, I have my doubts. Maybe from point-blank; even the rifle-size ones you can get in the US are unimpressive.

      Demolition Ranch has reviews and comparisons of a couple. Fun, but “lethal” is questionable.

        I haven’t watched any videos of these, but even a .22 can be lethal if used right. Getting shot in the arm with one probably isn’t going to kill you though.

        • A BB gun can be lethal, but for that matter, that gauss gun looks heavy enough to be more lethal throwing it at someone than shooting them with it.

          I’m not dissing the gun, but rather scoffing at the absurd hyperbole of the authorities about lethality. It’s stupid, and they’re stupid.
