So how durable are they being made of meteorite?
[QUOTE=Bazsil;50385979]They'll be sealed in a vault for the next 1000 years until they become the first IRL raid drop[/QUOTE] Nah, they'll just sit in a wall safe for 200 years, along with some money, a fork, a junk weapon that hasn't been invented yet, and some future-drugs.

I want these pistols featured on an episode of CSI just for the scene where the coroner holds up the evidence bag with the bullets and says "look at these ballistic fingerprints. No gun on earth could leave markings like that."
[QUOTE=Cureless;50385565]Would be a little nicer if there wasn't giant chunks missing out of the handle IMO, that'll make it incredibly uncomfortable to hold/shoot. The fact they call it perfection too, with those giant gnashes in it, is pretty funny.[/QUOTE] You don't actually shoot a $4.3m pistol, it's an extreme collector's piece. The missing pieces are obviously intentional to show how "raw" the materials are and to remind you it's a chunk of meteorite.
ring ring hello this martin shrek calling i'd like to make an offer
yeah, get out me asteroid
I'm not a gun guy, so I thought of Cabot cheese at first. Needless to say the headline stumped me until I read the first sentence of the article. That texture is pretty dope
[QUOTE=TheNerdPest14;50386989]So how durable are they being made of meteorite?[/QUOTE] Meteoric iron is just an iron-nickel alloy which makes it slightly less brittle and resistant to corrosion relative to iron. Steel is a better alloy for general purposes.
literally ruined the gun with that fuckugly trigger and logo is this a fucking cs go skin?
They look really awesome.... From now on it's my life goal to save up enough money to move to America and buy them.

[QUOTE=MenteR;50385569]i hate the trigger lol[/QUOTE] Now that you mention it, it does look absolutely terrible
[QUOTE=Melnek;50387894]literally ruined the gun with that fuckugly trigger and logo is this a fucking cs go skin?[/QUOTE] I bet there is a CS:GO skin like this.
Oh come on, why couldn't it have been a SiG? A P226 would look nice.
[QUOTE=Melnek;50387894]literally ruined the gun with that fuckugly trigger and logo is this a fucking cs go skin?[/QUOTE] a csgo skin would be more expensive
[QUOTE=Kommodore;50387563]Meteoric iron is just an iron-nickel alloy which makes it slightly less brittle and resistant to corrosion relative to iron. Steel is a better alloy for general purposes.[/QUOTE] So it's just a slightly weaker than normal gun with a fancy finish. What a scam. "But the material comes from space" well guess where every ounce of material on earth came from. Space. Guess where the earth and we are right now. Space.

Would be cool to pull up at a gun range and pull out your dual meteorite 1911s. Though not before modding them to have a laser sight and holo
[QUOTE=Mr. Someguy;50385520]They used a tried and true classic, so I see nothing wrong with it.[/QUOTE] Well, they could have gone with something more modern looking. M1911 is overrated and ugly tbh.
Suddenly, we're Terraria now!
[QUOTE=RaptorJGW;50415791]Well, they could have gone with something more modern looking. M1911 is overrated and ugly tbh.[/QUOTE] 1911 is one of the sexiest looking guns without going too tacticool.
You either love this or you really hate this I can't help but wonder why they didn't make the grips out of something comfortable
[QUOTE=Sableye;50416915]You either love this or you really hate this I can't help but wonder why they didn't make the grips out of something comfortable[/QUOTE] Because comfort isn't really a factor in something that is never going to be used.
the triggers look so fucking dumb and out of place. you could say that they're... triggering me
[QUOTE=rndgenerator;50416103]1911 is one of the sexiest looking guns without going too tacticool.[/QUOTE] thats a subjective claim. mind you, if you said recognizable I would agree
