I feel Ian missed the point on the deactivated gun question. EU/UK deactivation laws are extremely harsh, basically turning guns into sold inoperable lumps, at which point are they worth keeping?

Yay! My metal storm question got in! *looks at timestamps* oh, that's going to be blunt no isn't it? *watches video* oh, it's an interestingly detailed no. TBH yes I knew it from Future Weapons (that makes everything sound awesome) and I'd forgotten/never knew you had to fire off the entire magazine at once. Anyway, thanks for indulging me.
