Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil: For I carry a .308 and not a .270

OTOH, if somebody was to give me one....

Same train of thought here too. I get a kick out of crowd sourced Kickstarter campaigns too. Whatever happened to putting up $100,000 of your own money to start a business?

Kickstarter isn't an investment platform.
"Project creators keep 100% ownership of their work, and Kickstarter cannot be used to offer equity, financial returns, or to solicit loans."
It's literally "give me money so I can live my pipe dream."
But hey, if you can get a bunch of **** hipsters to give you money for headphones made of wood that cost $299 more power to you I guess.
And the M2 is often mounted to recoil mitigating mounts that weigh more than the gun.
Shot a few off M60 and M48 tanks, and they need all that weight in the mount, and then some. The ones I shot were sans compensator of any kind on the muzzle, and ALL that blast energy shoved it to the rear with authority.

Sometimes necessary! The reason you'll never see a M2 mounted on a H-60 is because the recoil is so great it can crack the airframe at the mounting point.

Makes things interesting. :tooth:
I guess all those businesses started in the 80s and 90s came from Kickstarter?
WWII Fighter Pilots didn't only line up on a target and fire, they would swing the nose of the plane through the target. That's easier than trying to steadfastly line up and sight the target. There was too much movement from both the gun platform plane and the target plane to try shooting stationary(No at 300+MPH anyway). It's like when I shoot a hand gun. I'm no Adolph Topperwein (Although I think maybe He did this also) I usually swing through a target firing on something moving. Even when I'm shoot a stationary target I don't just try to hold on it. I will go through the target like from bottom to top and shoot when the sights cover the target or shortly before that I start squeezing the trigger. For no more than I shoot a hand gun I'm fairly accurate with that technique.
Son that's somebody with nothing to do with his time but keep me in trouble with mom.
Shooting a weapon firing 600-900+ rounds per minute (10-15 rounds per second) is a LOT different from that bolded part. Depending on the weight, they dance around like a burlesque dancer with fire ants in her thong! :rotflmao: Lots different than firing single shots or even rapid fire double action or semiauto from a pistol. Firing a long full auto burst does tend to paint the area with lethal metal, though. Put enough bullets in a given area and you'll eventually hit something worthwhile. Long bursts are discouraged except for suppression fire, though. Eats up ammo and overheats the weapon.

That startup money for that trigger mechanism wouldn't be that great. Circuit board, battery, and handgrip. The grip could be farmed out as well as the circuit board. All the shop space that would be needed would be to assemble and test the product. Not like opening up a big manufacturing facility by any means. A small building would be more than enough space; something like a 40'x40' building can be rented for not much.
