My wife asked if it was illegal to make. I stated no, because lawmakers have not dreamt of such common existence of power weapons yet.
There is another video of a kid with a rechargeable, portable, shoulder fired, full auto coil gun with very reasonable terminal ballistics in pistol range. Laws discuss gunpowder, not electricity. You are not wrong it is only a matter of time. Moores law says it will be quite shortly from now that lethal power weapons will be easy to make at home and common.
Those that complain of the Sci-fi promises of our childhoods not being here now should consider that we live in a time that a quick search on youtube shows people are building laser weapons, rail guns, and coil guns in their free tinkering time with reclaimed junk and scrap. Teenage children are building atomic devices that took Oppenheimer years to devise.
People are decrypting, understanding and replicating the work of Tesla in their garage...
We are not getting dumber. We are disseminating, learning, and applying faster than ever before.
Add this to consider the brief moment of time that people have even existed, with the incredibly short period since we have started harnessing technoligies and innovation, to the moment we are now. Carl Sagan discussed that galaxies are billions of years old, we just built all this human stuff in the last few seconds of time.
Picture what is to be another thousand or ten thousand years from now. We will be medieval or the stoneage to our future humans.
When you realize what we are witnessing, it is amazing. In some ways even disturbing.
I am a firm believer, based on the above, that it has all happened many times before. How could it not have? People are alive currently that remember the very recent 1930's and that world is already unrecognizable today.
