Saw this at the supermarket right next to a $24 magazine called “ChatGPT: Start your own business!”
Things are getting bleak. Hopefully in the future the only time we see shit like this is in history books showing propaganda during the fall of capitalism
i think his arm is covering it, that thing is really giving me aug vibes and the grip doesn’t look like it takes a mag
I’m not getting aug or even bullpup vibes from it, but it’s also not worth arguing over; even shitty art is art and is thus up to interpretation by the viewer.
i’m prepared to argue about this. if it’s meant to be a specific gun then one of the three of us (including the artist) is simply wrong.
including an example of a rails-less AUG for comparison.
I can sort of see an aug if I squint, but the caricature art style really makes it look like the handguard flows directly into the stock, and there’s not enough room for a mag in there. Also the barrel is just absurdly long for a bullpup, which I think is the main thing that’s throwing me. this looks to me like if you asked a version of midjourney which had never seen an AR or an AK to draw an assault rifle.
yeah i think the barrel is long because the flaccid wouldn’t come across as well if it were shorter… or that’s meant to be a suppressor?
yeah that’s fair. looking at it more closely, I can see what you’re saying, but it’s just too cartoonish for me to fully make the connection, idk.
anyways now I want to build an AUG so thanks for that.
