Cook County apparently is going to go the "military guns = bad" line of argument, which is completely ahistorical. The Second Amendment was meant to protect the arms used in combat most of all, as historical sources extensively prove.

It does a better job of this than blued guns, at least, but Armalite would have probably been better off if they just gone with the rare black variant they also released.

While ultimately a sales failure (about 1200 were made by Armalite, with another company assembling another 600 or so guns from spare parts afterwards), the AR-17 is a simple shotgun and a joy to shoot - its as light as a feather, but points like your finger.

The video they are mad about has 3,000 views on YouTube, and was from July. While I realize 3k views would be blockbuster numbers for an Everytown video, in terms of a gun ad, it's apparently one that did not take off at all. What a strange thing to dredge up three months later.

New Video Breaks Down Daniel Defense Assault Weapon Ad

The “Greg’s Got Notes” video points out everything wrong with an ad mixing baseball and cookouts with AR-15-style assault weapons.

Have you ever seen a blow-forward, self-cocking, auto-ejecting revolver shotgun before? No? Meet the Becker Automatic Shotgun.

Designed in the late 1920s by August Coenders, the Becker Revolver saw little commercial interest, with a production run suspected to be less than 100 guns. One of the weirdest shotguns out there - check out this video for a deep-dive: youtu.be/Me1sX56yot4

Auto-Cocking, Auto-Ejecting Revolver Shotgun: The "Becker"

This is the Becker Revolving Shotgun - which was designed by August...

*early 1920s Not sure how I missed that. People frequently claim it was designed in 1899, citing a nonexistent patent. Coenders was 9 years old in 1899, he probably didn't design this thing when he was 9 years old.

During the Korean War, the US Army sponsored a combat study that investigated "M1 Ping". (Use of Infantry Weapons and Equipment in Korea, Technical Memorandum ORO-T-18). This contributed to the development of de-clipped M1 Garand systems, including a Johnson/Garand Hybrid.

Did you know that the famous "tin-ping" sound of an M1 Garand ejecting its empty en-bloc clip was actually weaponized as psychological warfare during World War II, leading to the creation of a deadly trick called the "Garand Ping Trap"?

The Garand's clip system was still an excellent way to combat the valid criticisms of early magazines - but its unique characteristics have long been the driver of myth and lore. It beats the heck out of stripper clips and internal mags regardless!

Now, as to the idea that enemy soldiers were listening for pings in practice, there's very little evidence. US soliders certainly thought that enemy troops listened for the sound, though, and reported throwing empty clips as "bait" in response.
