minus-squarelolcatnip@reddthat.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4arrow-down1·1 year ago And WTF is a “laser-sighted weapon”? It’s a gun that basically has a fancy laser pointer mounted on it so the dot from the laser shows where the bullet will go. It’s not exactly exotic, and it’s no more scary than the gun by itself.
minus-squareglitch1985@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up5arrow-down1·1 year agoI think they would have said gun if it was a gun. Hell you can put a laser on a slingshot and make it a “laser sighted weapon”
