DO NOT PUT A GUN ON A DRONE YOU VIOLATE LIKE EIGHTEEN FEDERAL LAWS AND THEY *WILL* gently caress YOUR poo poo UP, HARD

I dunno, it isn't on the "know before you fly" hobbyist website that the FAA references for recreational use.

And this article has a bunch of videos of guys doing it.

I don't actually own any guns though, I just have been curious about laws recently and look things up a lot.

this is not FAA poo poo. This is BATF poo poo.

if you put a remote trigger on a gun or fire a gun by any method that is not a finger attached to a person, you are in violation of federal law

Alright, I've been sitting in the OM5 for a couple of weeks.

Here's my thoughts:
*Although I got the "xt" model, the seat still isn't as wide as I'd like. Other goons are not likely to run into this because I am a giant.
*The purely weight-driven recline is an interesting idea, but I'm finding it annoying in practice. If I'm sitting bolt upright or leaning all the way back the chair feels great, but if I want to recline to any degree in between I basically have to flex the poo poo out of my abs to help it resist me. This is even after maxing out rrr's adjustment trick. This also might not be a problem if you're not giant. I'm 6'4" and 290 pounds, if those stats are useful to anyone. I don't even think of myself as particularly top heavy, as I have 31" quads from doin dem squats and deadlifts.
*The adjustable arms that keep getting reccomended I could take or leave. They have about 15 degrees of swivel and like 3" of back-and-forth travel. I don't think I'd do the basic arms, but I could see doing this chair with no arms at all.

Now, that said, even though you have to work pretty hard to recline in this chair, I find my back hurts less at the end of the day than it did in my old chair, but it's more tired. If you don't mind working your abs all day to sit in a chair, this might be the one for you. If you want something that will let you recline easily into whatever position and lock it there, you might want to look elsewhere.

they make AR-15's full auto. only the ones manufactured before X date (some time in early 80s I believe) are legal to affix to an AR-15 by anybody, and even then you need an FFL to deal in them. if you mill an auto sear and put it in an AR-15 you just signed up for a possible decade in fed

that being said i have the technical drawings for them saved to PDF. if poo poo hits fan i'll start a factory, as will everybody else
