Our Rules:

1. Keep it civil.


Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only.


2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry.


I should not need to explain this one.


3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.


Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.


4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month.


Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

it costs two hundred thousand dollars to fire this gun... for twelve seconds.

Roughly $1 per bullet, roughly 20 rounds per second in the Predator movie, so only about $14,400 for 12 ~~seconds~~ minutes ($240 for 12 seconds). For $200k, you could shoot it for almost 3 ~~minutes~~ hours.

Wait, I don't get it. 20 rounds per second for 12 seconds is 240 rounds, right? So at $1 per bullet, that's $240, right?

What am I missing?

[–] merc@sh.itjust.works 5 points 3 weeks ago

I accidentally did the math for minutes instead of seconds. You're right, it's $20 per second, $240 for 12s.

Chris Rock: “You don’t need no gun control, you know what you need? We need some bullet control. Men, we need to control the bullets, that’s right. I think all bullets should cost five thousand dollars… five thousand dollars per bullet… You know why? Cause if a bullet cost five thousand dollars there would be no more innocent bystanders."

$400,000, actually. $200 custom tooled cartridges at 10,000 rounds per minute

Just have to grind that min wage job simulator for 9-12 months for another go.

Unless it’s got rent, transportation, healthcare, and food simulators in it too.
