I didn't know those three were under the same roof.

I'd imagine the taxes in the Miami-Dade area are pretty ridiculous after so many decades of democratic colonization.

Wait. This is a rifle that just randomly fires when a battery runs out? What fucking genius designed that??

[C-Mag]

Yes, if you use the wrong batteries, it will fire by itself. Has an AI feature which could kill at any time.

Can’t tell if sarcastic, but that’s what I understood from the article. It sounds like it just fires itself when a battery dies.

Think artillery battery, not energizer bunny.

Nevermind. Found it on my own.

In firearms and artillery where there is an automatic loading mechanism, a condition can occur in which a live round is at least partially in the firing chamber and capable of being fired, but is not properly secured by the usual mechanism of that particular weapon. The gas pressure produced at the moment of firing can rupture the not fully supported cartridge case and can result in flame and high-pressure gas being vented at the breech of the weapon, potentially creating flying shrapnel and possibly injuring the operator.
