Real life is not a videogame.

@MsSloppyseconds that isn't really a reason if you want to shot quickly you can use the full auto mode on a gun, if its an m16 it has that feature why not use it if your not going to shoots acuratly on semi auto then there is no point

[MsSloppyseconds]

@TheAlexagius Because real life isn't a video game.

3 round reload that shits on a modern 40 ml , i think the australian cops are trialing these things i reckon the army should have them already .

I like how the report from firing each grenade is a slightly different pitch as each round is fired from a different barrel length.

@EdgarInventor I'll look into it, but like I said, I lack the resources (money) for the whole patent thing.

@mentalone1995 There are provisions for making Gun Prototypes, and filing Gun Patents, even in Gun Prohibition Countries like yous and mine... They involve getting a State legal Gun Maker's Diploma. Or getting some Gun Maker to make the Prototype, all legal, etc.

Or just get the Specs on electric spark Gun ignition elsewhere, and make a Prototype just for Piezo Ignition at those specs. "this device sparks at n Ohms x Volts, " etc

[mentalone1995]

@EdgarInventor Thanks for the reply,

On that note, I sort of catch your drift... You think I should patent the idea of piezo electric trigger? What about building it? Because that might be a problem, a big problem. I live in Australia so making a electrically fired gun even if it is blanks, is very illegal! :) On top of that I have not got the resources to build such a prototype...
