Coolest semi-automatic rifle yet

Tam points out, quite correctly, that a “new AR clone these days is about as ‘unexpected’ as another Friday the 13th sequel or Law & Order spinoff.”

On the other hand, I’d love to see the pricing on this as-yet-unannounced weapon:

Apple iR-15: Only works with proprietary ammunition. Made of sleek, white plastic. Has to be sent to an authorized service center for field-stripping and cleaning. Owners soon sport glazed, zombielike expressions of loyalty familiar to posters at MacForums or GlockTalk.

Wonder if there’s a Nano version in the works…

    Six months after the Apple “Nano”, Micro$oft releases the “uZee”. Some details:

    - You have to remove and replace the 8-shot magazine at least five times before it empties.

    - With every major version release, ammunition triples in caliber but is loaded with 15% less gunpowder.

    - For each bullet, the uZee first points at an empty box called “My Targets”, then you have to cock it twice before aiming at your actual target.

    - User manual includes twelve pages of “congratulation on your purchase”, a list of available targets and accessories, and safety disclaimers, but no mention of the trigger, safety, or how to load it.

    - Unlike the Apple, the uZee can be fired from left-hand, right-hand, and center positions (using the “scroll-stock”).

    - Two months after the uZee, the market is flooded with aKays from Asia.
