[Frumple]

Oh, certainly you can kill someone with a BB gun. Not particularly easily, but keep putting the shots into someone's eye socket or something and they'll stop moving, eventually. People lose eyes every once in a while to the things. Or just bludgeon them with the gun itself. Not entirely sure anyone really cares enough to regulate the things, though.

[RedKing]

I'm fairly certain you could kill someone with rapid-fire BB guns, or even not rapid firing ones. It may not be very likely to cause fatal injury, but not impossible by any means.

I think if you deployed this thing the police would kill you.

I think Frumple has the point of it though...it's not illegal because no one's ever had one before. Once somebody buys one of these and uses it, then you'll probably see a scramble to specifically outlaw Japanese BB mecha of doom.

I mean, shit...a 6000 rpm tennis ball cannon could kill a person.
When Japanese BB Mecha are outlawed, only outlaws will have Japanese BB Mecha!

Or just bludgeon them with the gun itself.

Doesnt that defeat the point of having a gun?
If you are going to beat them with it, then you could just put a 2-meter sword instead of the guns.

[Aklyon]

BB guns are mostly unregulated in the United States. 

Hold up....this thing can be driven by a 3G phone?? And it comes in 16 colors, including black and pink. And for an extra few thousand yen, you can get the cupholder option.

WTFJAPAN Y U SO IMPRACTICALLY AWESOME?

Japan: Because just having a car with a cupholder is too normal. What you need is a Dual-Gatling BB non-walker Mecha with phone-based controls, face-based shooting, and a cupholder.

The cupholder option reminds me of Megas.

Its good to see that intro again. Was quite a good series.

I'd consider getting a £1,000,000 loan to buy one of these and live a life of constant fear that the debtors will devour my soul when I sleep, but then I realized driving an 8 foot mech around in the rain through grey skies and the gridlocked traffic of the city is an awful waste of robot power

Seriously though, someone add a flamethrower to one of these things. The firefighter bots have to have some competition you know.

If you have one of these, how are they ever going to collect the debt?

blackmail you to do mob hits

They'll hire MZ.
Then there will be a dramatic moment where MZ realizes he has to betray one of his friends.[/movie]

When you park it outside the local grocery store maybe?

His mission is to punch the pilot in the face until they can't smile, thus disabling the fire controls.

I have to say...when the thought entered my head that I was piloting a four-ton mecha with giant BB gatling guns on it...whoever's in front of me would be a fine red mist because I'd be unable to stop grinning like a maniac.

[UltraValican]

So if Japan is already realesing BB gun Mechs to the public.
OH SHIT. The Japanese Government...must already have access to actual war mechs. EVERYONE HIDE THEIR SCHOOLGIRLS AND PET SQUIDS!

It's not exactly a secret now is it?

[Wayward Device]

Um, ok. So. This costs 1 million Euros. From some quick google-fu a M1 Abrams tank costs the US government $6.3 million dollars. Anyone else out there considering the cost benefits of slapping a couple of .50 cal machine guns and a rocket launcher to a few hundred of these? Sure, its unarmored, presumably has poor range and would likely break the instant some grit got into the works but hey, people are a renewable resource.
