I’m hoping you mean the city shooting it down, as in saying nope to it lol. Any responsible gun owner would ideally realize how terrible of an idea it would be to pop rounds at it, in a city center, with buildings behind it, knowing a good percentage of those shots will miss and go flying beyond it.
Odds are, the city will have something to say about it, and knowing Elon, he didn’t pull a permit so it’s a matter of time. That thing is an eye sore and a hazard.
Absolutely not. Especially with said small mags, op said 5 but for Cali I believe it’s 10?
Either way that’s a small fucking mag even for a round like 5.56 (standard us rifle round). You could easily stuff 4-5 in your two pants pockets.
Sticking with the 5.56 example, push the mag in, hit the bolt release to load the first round, pull the trigger and the next is auto loaded. Pull the trigger for each bullet and when there are no more the bolt will stay locked back. You push the mag release button, mag falls out, then you just slide a new mag in. Hit the bolt catch release and it will load the next round.
It’s easy as fuck, no the goal isn’t to reload once a day. If anything the goal would be to hit the target with as few bullets possible x the person you replied to was just being facetious.
here is an excellent example animation that covers the entire sequence from load to fire. Most of it is irrelevant but if you actually care you can jump around using the chapters
The only laborious thing about reloading is putting each round in one by one. The video shows a 30 round mag so think of a mag 1/3rd of that for this post context. With stripper clips or a speed reloaded it’s easy and quick af. Realistically you’d go out with preloaded mags instead of a box of bullets you load on the fly. Always a good idea to take extra cartridges tho.
Thanks for a genuinely interesting reply! While I learned something from you, I still don’t know when I’d “go out with preloaded mags”. I don’t know what I’d expect to find out there which would require that sort of preparation, ha!
There are PLENTY of gun owners in Cali and your pockets can easily fit 4-5x 5 or 10 rd mags in your pants pockets if not more.
You can fire pretty quick between mag changes as well. Who the fuck is going around with a single 5rd mag?
The actual answer is because responsible gun owners would never just go shoot something down in the city just cuz it’s annoying to the other businesses around the sign
Wow. I’m not particularly sensitive, but that seems like the right amount of very bright strobe that gives me headaches in concerts, especially at night in the dark. That’s very much the level of trying to find out a way to get to the roof to unplug it.
It’s also seizure-inducing

Wow, that is incredibly annoying! I can’t imagine they wouldn’t get forced to take it down.
I guess all he does is baiting headlines
he’ll only stop when it stops working. not happening anytime soon, sadly
Elon is the master of baiting.
Go away, baitin
Fuck all their neighbors, I guess
Jesus fucking christ, how is that still standing
It’s being held up by sandbags and he’s not letting inspectors in to check it out.
How often do you get to break the law as a billionaire before you have consequences?
That has got to be a joke. How come by now nobody shot it down?

Purely because it’s in CA. Even if you can get your hands on a gun you’ve only got 5 shots before you have to reload.
I… don’t think that’s how it works…
Is reloading super laborious or something? Is the goal to only need to reload once a day, maybe at night as your phone is recharging?
Absolutely not. Especially with said small mags, op said 5 but for Cali I believe it’s 10?

That explains it. This thing would drive me nuts in like two minutes
But at least you are shooting it down
Didn’t that actually just get overturned?
Is that on purpose or is the thing so badly made that it’s blinking like that?
Bad Chicken! Mess you up!!
That’s not good for business.
