Immediately After Moving To Texas, Elon Musk Announces Tesla AR-15 |
2020-12-11 |
"Um... h-howdy, I think," said Elon, expertly taking on the local dialect. "Y'all want a Tesla AR-15? You got it, partner!" The new firearm will look similar to a standard AR-15 but will in fact be a battery-powered railgun capable of firing 3 million rounds per minute. It will also feature a fingerprint sensor, Bluetooth capability, heat-seeking ammunition, and a chainsaw bayonet, to name a few. "We really wanted to re-think self-defense," said Musk. "This new firearm will be the go-to rifle for our SpaceX volunteers when they encounter hostile aliens. It's also a celebration of the Second Amendment. If any federal authorities try to confiscate it, the rifle will automatically connect to the internet and file a lawsuit for you!" The Federal Government has requested that Tesla at least remove the AI-powered "self-driving" feature on the firearm before selling it. |

#4 I call BS on the AR-15 Size rail-gun. The article reads like a joke waiting to played of commenters not reading to the end. Besides no AR-15 size Rail-Gun could fire 3 million rounds a minute. It would have to be connected to a Mega-Watt Power Plant and have capacitor circuity that allows reloading, firing and recharging at 50,000+ rds a sec. Imagine the recoil at 50,000 rds a sec. Now think of the Thermodynamics vs. Metallurgy issues alone. An the fact it would have to wrapped in a Helium cooled case and fed from a large cylinder tank. Yes I looked into building a single shot model back in late 2000+ after seeing one in come movie. Yes I love to tinker, but I flush the idea after seeing the size, cost and issues. EG. AMAZING-1 WEB SITE See the Youtube video link on the page. |

#3 Sure hope the Projectile Guidance System is disabled so that it won't return to its launching point. That could impact (repeat) sales. |

#2 Well at least it would have Bluetooth, so that's a plus. |

#1 OTOH, it will blow up the first few times you fire it. |
