Pretty bozo, and complete loophole. Would not pass the reasonable man test, but then, BATF does not pass that either.

They pretty much admitted the bullets are tumbling at 50 yards. A suppressor...klaploieee.

 

You Sir are no dumbass. :notworthy:

 

It worked for the football, it spiraled real easy, or maybe it flew real far.
I don’t remember.

 

Innovation is a good thing, even if it may seem illogical to begin with. Some of the greatest ideas were initially perceived as dumb gimmicks... whats important is that they pave the way for evolution to happen.

 

Even more ideas that were initially perceived as dumb gimmicks actually turned out to be dumb gimmicks.

 

I DARE them to put a can on it and shoot it...

 

Saw that. It's pretty silly.

I'd hate to be an investor in the R&D of this item.

Bad timing..Las Vegas & all.

 

I remember those.

 

I used to have a nerf football that looked like those billets, it whistled when you threw it.

 

Those damn plastic whistles would hurt pretty bad when trying to catch it. My brothers and I put that thing in the trash. The original Nerf Spiral Football was the best. The pink and black one.

 

All these loopholes and work a rounds, hope they don’t eventually back fire on gun owners.

 

Yup They went full Tard.

 

Franklin Armory Retardation

 

Not to mention ugly.

Wasn't there anything in their collective brilliance that could have made the thing.....I don't know......not ugly?

 

Complete bullchit. Give me a 14.5" bbl w/welded,pinned birdcage instead, for a hell of alot less money that shoots real ammo & no tax stamp. How many dumbasses will buy this?

I’m quite the dumbass, and I’ll admit it, but I sure as hell won’t be buying this abomination

 

Just pay the $200 fee, already.

 

Actually that's sort of cool. I gather the fins on the bullet force air to turn it as it flies like fletching on an arrow. Sound like accuracy is good so the RPM does not need to be as high as you get from traditional rifling. I wonder what it is?

Hold the phone, if the round does not spin that fast you could probably use mercury tips to do some real damage.

Whoa...they call them footballs. Reality just hit home for me...hard. If you take the word football, rearrange the letters and use some different ones, you get fireball.

Now, if you take name Franklin Armory, use none of those letters, and substitute XP-100 you can clearly see it.

XP-100
Fireball
Mercury tips

 

I have to hand it to them. It's thinking outside of the box. It's not like there is a ton of fresh innovation in the AR field these days. Not my thing, but I give them credit for the effort. I'm curious what the ammo cost and reloading components look like. I think it would be cost prohibitive to shoot, especially with a binary trigger.

 

Sometimes the box is there for a reason. Could be the box is so big that everything outside it is stupid.

 

That round look's identical to an American Civil War Hand-Grenade. Seriously!

 

A gimmick from a company based upon a gimmick.
