Earlier this week, workers rioted in Chinaâs Shaxi, a manufacturing town in Guangdong province. Before that, there were reports of riots at a Foxconn plant in Chengdu. Make no mistake, China doesnât appear to be near a tipping point; however, there seems to be something in the air. While certainly not widespread, some people do seem uneasy.
With that in the back of your mind, this weapon is freakinâ scary. You are looking at 7.62 mm Gatling machine gun, which can fire from 2,500 to 6,000 rounds per minute. Itâs not for the military. And itâs not for hunting Predator
As China Digital Times pointed out, itâs supposedly for the cops and appeared at this yearâs China Police Expo at the Beijing International Convention Center.
âThis is a fucking policemanâs machine gun,â wrote one Chinese blogger. âWho are the police going to mow down with this gun?â asked one Chinese social networking site user. âThe American imperialists or the Japanese devils? Who are they selling this thing to?â The cops, it seems, the cops.
