I’m hoping you mean the city shooting it down, as in saying nope to it lol. Any responsible gun owner would ideally realize how terrible of an idea it would be to pop rounds at it, in a city center, with buildings behind it, knowing a good percentage of those shots will miss and go flying beyond it.
Odds are, the city will have something to say about it, and knowing Elon, he didn’t pull a permit so it’s a matter of time. That thing is an eye sore and a hazard.
Absolutely not. Especially with said small mags, op said 5 but for Cali I believe it’s 10?
Either way that’s a small fucking mag even for a round like 5.56 (standard us rifle round). You could easily stuff 4-5 in your two pants pockets.
Sticking with the 5.56 example, push the mag in, hit the bolt release to load the first round, pull the trigger and the next is auto loaded. Pull the trigger for each bullet and when there are no more the bolt will stay locked back. You push the mag release button, mag falls out, then you just slide a new mag in. Hit the bolt catch release and it will load the next round.
It’s easy as fuck, no the goal isn’t to reload once a day. If anything the goal would be to hit the target with as few bullets possible x the person you replied to was just being facetious.
here is an excellent example animation that covers the entire sequence from load to fire. Most of it is irrelevant but if you actually care you can jump around using the chapters
The only laborious thing about reloading is putting each round in one by one. The video shows a 30 round mag so think of a mag 1/3rd of that for this post context. With stripper clips or a speed reloaded it’s easy and quick af. Realistically you’d go out with preloaded mags instead of a box of bullets you load on the fly. Always a good idea to take extra cartridges tho.
Thanks for a genuinely interesting reply! While I learned something from you, I still don’t know when I’d “go out with preloaded mags”. I don’t know what I’d expect to find out there which would require that sort of preparation, ha!
There are PLENTY of gun owners in Cali and your pockets can easily fit 4-5x 5 or 10 rd mags in your pants pockets if not more.
You can fire pretty quick between mag changes as well. Who the fuck is going around with a single 5rd mag?
The actual answer is because responsible gun owners would never just go shoot something down in the city just cuz it’s annoying to the other businesses around the sign
That has got to be a joke. How come by now nobody shot it down?

Purely because it’s in CA. Even if you can get your hands on a gun you’ve only got 5 shots before you have to reload.
Gun Simps: “You can’t have gun control because people don’t follow the law and will get them anyway.”
Also Gun Simps: “Nobody has guns in California because it’s against the law.”
Pick one way to be wrong, at least.
Is reloading super laborious or something? Is the goal to only need to reload once a day, maybe at night as your phone is recharging?

That explains it. This thing would drive me nuts in like two minutes
