"A helicopter" still has disaster written all over it. This one has more. So much more.

I presume the four blade-systems are counter-rotational, but in a real counter-rotation helicopter (like the Russian Alligator or whatever that badass thing is called), there is only one set of grossly complex things that have to constantly go right.

This has four.

Ah, yes. And since the US doesn't seem to be working on anything like this, you know the design hasn't been stolen. Nothing could go wrong there.

The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.

In the market for a gun that is out of this world? Then the Big Bang pistol may just be for you ... provided you've got very, very deep pockets.

Parts of the 4.5 billion-year-old Gibeon meteorite that landed in sub-Saharan Africa in prehistoric times have been transformed into guns and pistol grips by Cabot Guns.



p.s.  apparently the above photo is the Cosmos Meteorite Grip 1911.  The Big Bang pistol set (one for righties and one for lefties) has yet to be revealed...

Riiiiiight. Because we can totally trust that they didn't just put a common pedestrian igneous rock in there instead.

If it's on the internet, it's true. George Washington said so, and he can never tell a lie. Even today.

If Fox News says it, and says it on the Internet, does that mean a negative times a negative equals a positive?

Is that thing to hang onto in case the plane goes down? As in flying you to the ground safely? I'd prefer a parachute. And it better not eat my in-flight peanuts.
