I think you misread. I didn’t dispute their existence. In fact, I did the opposite.
 
I was watching a review in which the reviewer was running the Maxim side by side with a g17, with the same ammunition. The Maxim jammed twice. It may have been operator error, but still…
 
Ahh my bad. I was the one who misread. In a pistol that may be true, or it may be due to operator error or the type of pistol it was built around (I believe it was based on S&W M&P correct?)
 
I know it takes Glock mags, but I am not sure of the internal component base.

that a firearm certainly has more range than a knife- but you don’t need to reload a knife. It needs to be maintained, but so does any weapon. The blade would probably get dulled at some point in a slash attack, but that’s why another knife would be carried by a “smart” criminal, as a “smart” gunman would prepare for one of their weapons to malfunction by bringing another.

But, as the cases I brought

I’m still in awe that you are arguing that knives are as effective as rifles.

Have you ever fired a rifle? Do you have a military or outdoorsman background?

I didn’t say “as effective”. I said that a rifle certainly has more range, and it can do more damage faster- but, that comes with a caveat. Firstly, the weapon has to be functioning. In mass shootings, malfunctions occur often- for example, one of the shooters in the North Hollywood shootout suffered a stovepipe jam. Simple fix, but if I recall correctly, he took out his pistol and shot himself instead.

Anyways, that’s probably one of the reasons gunmen carry multiple weapons, as everyone in my examples did. I’m not positive, but I’m fairly certain the stabbers would have carried multiple blades.

In the cases I provided, yes, the guns were more effective, considering there were only two gunmen each- but two of the three cases still saw a lower body count than the stab attack. The last one barely “outperformed” it.

One would think that the gunmen could have caused more chaos before being stopped, despite there being three less people involved- but that’s just not the case in these examples.
 
100% against.

Also, there’s really no such thing. Ammunition isn’t plastic. Barrels can’t be plastic. Firing pins can’t be plastic.

It’s a myth. There may be some plastic parts but an all plastic undetectable gun does not exist.
 
It would go on the mantle right next to my Dale Earnhardt collectors plates

what do you think about the banning of plastic guns?

Why ban them? They are mostly useless.

I could imagine a spy novel that uses the tech so sneak in their weapon, buy why bother with that in the real world. Time and time again determined people have had no problems sneaking a real weapon into a restricted area.
 
I know this is a stupid qeustion, but can you explain why they are useless.

Eh… some of them can get up to 200 rounds before breaking…

Yah, and some don’t last for 20 rounds I expect. And when they fail it could be dangerous, which means you are playing russian roulette.

Plus I suspect accuracy is not a selling point.

look up Cody Wilson online…He created an ar15 lower recciever (the part that is regulated like a firearm by the government) that can be 3d printed. All other AR parts can be purchased online and sent to a PO box.

That’s not a plastic gun, just one with some plastic components but a metal barrel. Most handguns already have plastic parts, where it makes sense. I find what he’s doing more of a legal issue than a technical development of note. Home Depot will already sell you anything you need to make a highly reliable single shot gun (shotgun)

Why not a combined approach though?

Exactly, It’s always just shouting gun control, gun control, more legislation, etc. Let’s have less talk of Gun Control. There seems to be this thought that it needs to be one or the other. The right to bear arms is partially rooted in self defense, There’s less of a case for Gun control and more of a case for protectionism at this point. You hardly ever hear the calls for training and implementing security forces and redesigning schools for security because it has been so politicized ever time some lunatic goes on a rampage.

You can use the second amendment right to help protect, that’s one reason why we have it. Why anyone wants to do away with that right given this situation is absurd. And yet, here we are again…
 
Drunk Drivers kill 3x more people than guns and we blame the person and not the car.
 
That’s a stupid argument and I really wish people would quit using it.

Guns are wholly designed to kill people. Cars aren’t.

The argument is this, sometimes people need killed, and I support people having the means to do so. Unfortunately, sometimes the wrong people get dead. But that’s a price free countries that believe in self defense should be willing to accept.
 
I thought Mr. Trump was a multi billionaire (aka successful) business man (main trait), which sounds very American to me.
