The US has rolled out AI-powered vending machines that dispense bullets to anyone who has a valid ID. An expert says they can be hacked.

    Bullet vending machines? Just in case you find yourself running low on bullets while out and about in the city? “Damn it. They’re out of Snickers bars so I guess I’ll just settle for some 9mm.”

          TBH shooting a rat with 5.56x45 would leave you with more cleaning up than dissectable rat.

      The world would be better off if certain people ate a bullet. But those people usually are not in the vending machine target demographic.

      Same reason as any other vending machine, impulse buys.

        Ammo should never be an impulse buy, and I say this as a strong proponent of the 2A.

          “Well hell, I should try something different in that gun that doesn’t work quite right. Wonder if this works better?”

          There. Impulse buy.

          Want or need?

          Always the question.
