Woof! Those are ugly “guns”. And I’m not sure I would want to “test” them with these hands.

I’m sure the technology will improve and practicality made more appetizing in the years to come. But those “weapons” don’t look cool, fun to shoot or instill a sense of confidence and security in me.

I don’t think a felonious perpetrator would be immediately intimidated by a Lego gun. lol

They do not have to be pretty.

Everyone has heard about the Liberator in WW2.

They just have to spit a pill, dart, shard or other projectile suitable for the need.

Let the felonious perpetrator be the surprised one.

Those guns ARE ugly - and not particularly practical, as they are single-shot weapons.

That’s not the point. They were a test to see if it could be done, and the guns worked. This technology, like everything else connected with computing, will vastly improve over time. Now that this case has been resolved in this way, many more people and companies will be getting involved - with 125 million gun owners, there’s a very big market. Wait 5-7 years, and you’ll see some incredible designs that work nearly or as well as current firearms.
