Or a Naruto style armored headband.

They appear to have only one kill mode.

I'd like to see a Boston Dynamics quadruped robot with a travel mode other than "jog" or "bounce".

Two of the officers were fired https://www.nbcnews.com/storyline/airplane-mode/two-officers-fired-after-doctor-dragged-united-airlines-flight-n811546

Notable that the screens don't change as they seem set to a certain mode. I'm going to guess this is an Easter Egg feature of them. However, after Googling AR-7778 it makes annoying sounds even before you put it in music mode.

"You said almost 3 times that speed, continuously for over 10 minutes....and not with a lightweight speed shorting pistol."

You are not making any sense. I see what I wrote but it is unclear what you are referring to. You are welcome to quote the part you are referring to.

As I wrote above, you can choose the length of time you are aiming your firearm for. I even gave a comparative set of aiming scenarios.

I love how you take the top end of my approximation as your "laughable" scenario and don't mention the rest of the range (i.e. 50 rounds per minute with mag changes). Could you shoot at one round per second aimed? I think with a little training you could.

Doing 0.2 second splits (i.e. you shoot twice at each target) and taking about a second on every target, using 30 round mags, you can do 90 round per minute without much trouble. Going a little slower, say 0.3 second splits, and taking 1.5 seconds per target you can do about 60 round per minute. I could go on. The point is, these are aimed shots with a higher chance to hit the target, and with just as much chance to accidentally hit another target on a miss. This has the result of more hits on target.

"you get more hits on target in full auto".

No, you don't. On target means a hit near the point you intended on a target. He was getting random hits - as is evidenced by the low fatality rate versus high injury rate. The only way you would be correct was if you argued that he intended non-fatal injuries as much as he intended fatalities (and you're welcome to make that argument - it has some merits depending on what this lunatic was trying to achieve).

"If it's as common as you say, that should be easy to provide with a comparison video instead of a suggestion to buy and read a certain book. The videos I found are all short range small target, not at all the same as what we're debating. Show me a comparison of a field layered deep with 10000 balloons getting shot at from distance, that would be informative, short course accuracy target shooting isn't."

The book is good because it shows military statistics with full-auto versus other fire modes. Books are often better than videos. It also outlines military teaching methodology, include marksmanship and how it evolved over time. Full auto is still used in military engagements but you'll find it is used very sparsely (here is a good thread of military and ex-mil talking about it's uses: https://www.quora.com/Why-do-militaries-use-assault-rifles-when-the-full-auto-feature-is-rarely-ever-used )

Short range targets are easier to hit. Are you trying to prove my point? Long range targets are harder to hit. Your rate of randomly hitting targets does not get better at longer ranges. But aiming does increase your chance of hitting a target at any range.

If you really wanted to do a comparison at that range then the targets would be a lot larger than balloons.

You're arguing against established marksmanship knowledge that is readily available over the internet or in firearms courses.

I think you owe it to yourself to prove yourself right or wrong by doing some rifle marksmanship courses. Approach it as a sport and you'll have a lot fun doing it!!!

I can't chat much longer - thanks for the good discussion!

Corrections :

Lack of mechanical parts is not the reason a bump stock was deemed legal.
(Furthermore, they highlighted 'no automatically functional parts', while they said lack of mechanical parts.)

External attachment also does not disqualify an item from being considered part of a weapon.
For example, it's illegal to attach a foregrip to a pistol (because there are piles of insane gun laws already, making esoteric combinations of parts worth federal prison and 100'000 dollar fines.)

A machinegun is a gun that fires automatically.
Automatically is a mode where more than one shot comes out with 1 trigger pull.
Rate of fire does not define a machine gun.

A bump stock required the operator to trigger the weapon for every shot, which is why it was deemed not an automatic.

Here is a raw video which shows much more. It's phones not guns they say to put away. https://youtu.be/H1YGg8nYkv0

Reminds me of Edna https://i.pinimg.com/236x/68/ac/44/68ac44432c671ae0cf91b28cde463792--edna-mode-the-incredibles.jpg

What a find!
She reminds me of Edna Mode.

Okay, my upvote was earned at the ease up on the QTEs, and I agree that holding a single button down as it fills can be dramatic too (or at least at the easier modes make an option to ease up on them), but it really earned my vote at the GIVE THE OPTIONS SCREEN BEFORE THE OPENING CINEMATIC AND TUTORIAL. Christ, I hate it when a game makes me watch the cinematic, and often play the first part of a tutorial before it allows me to get to the options screen to set some options... some games detect the wrong resolution, and then you are forced to play at this odd size until you've been in the game for 5-15 minutes.

Survival of the fittest. I say, put a spike pit at the bottom. Hard mode engaged.

buildings are designed and built to support the vertical loadn, with plenty of safety margin. I think any failure mode in an earthquake is going to come from horizontal movements.
