OK, definately not a carbine, but equally definately tactical - check this out

Built by Knight Industries employees "in their spare time"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"It was designed to have the ergonomics of a chain saw, and the firepower of a SAW (Squad Automatic Weapon). It’s based on the idea that heads up displays no longer require a gun to be held up to the face for aiming. Theoretically, this type of grip could be applied to many different weapons in the future."
First poster on that site stole my idea - looks like the SAW used in Aliens!

Very cool. I know that this was just playtime for the guys at Knight, but there are a lot of practical innovations that we are likely to see in future weapons. This could be quite practical with the addition of a heads-up display aiming system. Heck, I've got heads up display on my Acadia. I rarely look at the dash for anything. Heads-up helmets are already part of the soldiers arsenal and could easily become standard issue.
It does look like the SAW used in Aliens. Heavy on the cool factor. ;D Compact and full auto with a grenade launcher. Rock and Roll.

No, per the 2A, the gun is legal in all 50 states as shown - it is only the a$$holes in Sacramento and some of the cities who say otherwise for CA. If you don't stand up for your rights, then you deserve to have none.

did I say it was wrong? no, I just think its dumb to carry a unloaded gun on your hip in a area that is known for gangs and crimes against the person.
a unloaded gun is nothing more then a small metal club.

For that gun to be legal in any state doesn't it have to be made before 1986?
