StrikerX50 has a reputation beyond repute

I think offing oneself would be a preferable alternative.

Don't get me wrong, it's a beautiful looking rifle. But $820k......ehhhh....

plenty of paintings and sculptures sell for millions of dollars, yet only contain a few hundred dollars in materials, and they do nothing except sit there. at least this piece of art has a physical function.

price justification is in the eye of purchaser......im willing to bet they find 5 people to purchase them quite easily.

That gun is just absurdly overpriced but there is a lot worse out there.

Hey a Russian VC guy just bought a house for $100M (revised from the first reported $75M) in Los Altos Hill, CA. It's about 10 minutes from where I live. He doesn't even know when he will decide to move in. But it does have it's own Car Wash!!!!!!! He'll probably order a few to put in his Ford F150 gun rack.
