Unlike usual "new gun" hype and BS, this is actually different from every other "new" gun of the last 40 years.

Been out for 2 years now. The 1st 500 sold for 5k in a kit. I almost bought one. Than I saw something else in the case I wanted more.
Its very interesting. Wish it was something other than 9 mm

Haven't seen anything about price, but the one Classic Arms is giving away is valued at $5K.
Reminds me a lot of the Steyr GB with the gas delay system flipped over.
Going to look at the shooting video next.

Realy interesting. I am a FAR way from being able to afford one but would LOVE to. They have put a lot of thought and design into this.

Oh, yeah. I remember those. they're supposed to have really low recoil, or a low center of gravity so it feels like it. I'm sure it's in the video. It have a very unusual lockup with something like a wishbone that clips onto the barrel IIRC. I think it's the Alien that hade the weird thing that went up and down to unlock the barrel. I'll watch the video after I get some rest if I remember.

Today I was thinking, I don't know why I said wishbone in my other post when I had the shape of a cavalry spur in my mind. I knew it was shaped like a U with a thing on the bottom, not a V with a little bit there.. IIRC it goes around the barrel and goes up and down to lock and unlock the slide. So I watched the Gun Jesus video on YouTube and saw that the Alien is gas-delayed blowback. Then I watched him shooting it the next day. Muzzle climb is almost non-existent. I thought, since the Alien wasn't the one with a piece shaped like a spur in it, maybe it was the Arsenal Firearms Strike One. Yep, that was it. And the Archon Type B too. If anyone wants a Laugo Alien picture for their desktop, here it is. It bears a resemblance to H. R. Giger's Alien.
