For this test, lumberjack Matt took some time away from cutting down trees with his Craiglist-bought chainsaw to break out his G17 safe queen and treat it to a bath of bar oil and saw dust. Despite a little leftover chocolate, the gun still functions, albeit now as a single shot pistol. What hasn’t he done to this Glock?

With a tagline like “Extreme Capabilities, Simple Operation,” it’s really no surprise General Robotics, a company engaged in advanced robotic platforms for the Defense and Homeland Security markets, has developed a robot that carries and fires a Glock 26. Meet the DOGO, a lightweight, portable tactical combat “watch dog” with a mean bite. With live video reconnaissance and a “Point & Shoot” interface, General Robotics claims the DOGO can fire five rounds on target in two seconds to neutralize threats remotely. Sounds great, but, is it too good to be true? (via Popular Mechanics)
WHAT’S WRONG WITH THIS POST?
That’s the question Facebook users are asked when they choose to report a post. Three months after the social network strengthened its stance on private gun sales, one of those options now includes “It describes buying or selling drugs, guns or adult products.” Spokeswoman Jodi Seth told Forbes.com the company began rolling out the option to users in February. Facebook, which relies on user reports for prohibited content, receives roughly 1 million reports each day, but it is not known what percentage of those involve suspected gun sales. (via Forbes.com)
