They put in a metal firing pin because 100% plastic guns are illegal in the US. It was technically capable of being completely plastic. But like the other poster said, it's a one-shot pistol with a weak cartridge. It's a long way

If we're talking about the US, we have tons of open space. Really, tons. Americans don't appreciate just how much open space is in this country. If it's really a concern, it can be done with water towers rather than a conveni

It may not be as strong an argument as, say, going through the crypto with a fine-tooth comb and finding flaws. However, I'm not qualified to do that, and most of the people commenting here aren't, either. Even so, we might have t
