Aero released theirs and started taking preorders yesterday. PSA says their limiting it to a run of 750 lowers. Aero hasn't said if theirs will be limited. I think Aero's looks better and is less autistic than PSA's, but some people like the autism. Options are good.

View Quote

I'm not paying Aero money for a novelty lower. PSA gets it.. $50 is right in the wheelhouse for an impulse purchase.

Not even close.

It's like if I stomp a scrub in CoD they got yeeted on.

It can also be used as an action verb, like "Trump should yeet missiles into Iran".

Ruger has provided the .22 handgun with the Wrangler......A much needed alternative to the imported from Italy parts/assembled in the USA Rough Rider.

As for "helping get kids into guns", that's sort of up to dads/moms across the land.....That is if they can stay married long enough to raise their kids.

Absolutely.

2 days ago a few of us suggested PSA make a YEET cannon AR15 lower, then suggested that it really should be a 9mm lower.

Open up my email today and they're taking pre-orders for BOTH.

THAT'S INSANE!

Don't let the old guys tell you different. It was always a trainwreck (it might have been even worse).

Yeet is something you say when you throw something or hit someone/something.

Though I am not a zoomer but that is what it was a few years ago.

I think this is great.

Guns can be serious tools and just plain old fun at the same time.

I think DSA is doing a run of "yeet blaster" lowers too.

...

Compared to 20 years ago, the firearms industry is HUGE next to what it used to be. More wide-spread use (especially with semi-autos, SBRs, etc.), more companies than I can count innovating with new products every day, and millions if not billions of dollars flowing because of it.

-This is largely due to video games. Sure I had guns growing up (for hunting), and enjoyed to shoot... but never anything like an AR. I really "got into" guns because of playing Call of Duty in the early 2000's. 100% that is the reason. Period. (Now because of me, me dad owns a bunch of ARs too, lol).

-Well, my generation (millennials, lol) are starting to turn 40 and many have kids in their teens. These kids play fortnite, PUBG, Apex, etc. (and still some call of duty). And these games have "stupid" dances and phrases (YEET) associated with it (just like our games did 2 decades ago in the form of spray tags and custom nameplate badges, common shit-talking etc.).

-These "kids" will be adults soon (if not already), and if you want to continue to have a booming healthy firearms industry... why not market to them?

As retarded as it sounds, I think "yeet cannon" and similar products are a good financial decision and good for all of us. If you 'get it' or not.

Yeah, no. It's really really stupid.

I was thinking about that, how many non-gun owners will buy their first gun due to this?

I imagine there will be a few, and that improves our position. We need to embrace the gun culture and try to tie it to popular culture every chance we get.

Gun ownership is the strongest it’s ever been, and it will only grow stronger on this path.

Hi Point is going to sell guns to people who would probably never have purchased a Hi Point because the pistols will have "Yeet Cannon" on the side. PSA is going to sell a bunch of lowers to folks on here who have shitloads of lowers already because it will have "Yeet Cannon" on the side. Glorious capitalism and even more normalization of guns. Win, win.

That's because you're old and out of touch. Move over old man, meme guns and #taclife is the new shit. And it actually gets people under 45 to buy firearms, unlike that fuddy shit about "muh huntin' gun" and all that.
