[feeddagoat]

The look in the second picture reminds me of vkgoeswild on youtube my favorite piano cover very good lookin

 

[stingstang]

As it is a hard drive, and not an SSD, it probably wouldn't survive the g's of an explosion.
I think it's pretty funny that the people who gave you guys the gun didn't even know what it was.
But an M6 is a shotgun, just for future reference.
Jane, you must have been driving your fellow editors crazy that day. Now I know how tom's gets all the good dirt during these CES events. They sick you on whoever's got the info. >.

Forget the tech news, more pictures of Jane being badass. Remember the pic from the Sony store in NYC.

 

[sparky2010]

wonder why they didn't use any handguns.. it's obvious the rifle would just go right through it, but what about things guns less powerful...?
enter mythbusters!

 

[jj463rd]

I would have used a .50 caliber M2 Browning Heavy Machine Gun instead on it.

 

[techcurious]

Holy Shrapnel! That's Jane!??? The same Jane I was criticizing not too long ago? I take it back! I TAKE IT BACK!! Please don't shoot my *ehrm* Hard Drive *cough* off...

"big scary gun packing flashbacks that kept Jane awake for two nights running"

Is it just me or does that sound kind of... wrong?

 

[psg1john]

Its Just housed in 3mm armor plate/Harden steel which will stop all pistol rounds up to .44 mag and all shotgun rounds.

For jj463rd you need need at least slightly over 1inch of armor plate to stop a 50BMG, and AP rounds over 2inchs. so over 24mm of armor plate for standard 50BMG and over 50mm for AP rounds

 

[psg1john]

After looking at the picture it must be lower grade armor, seeing shotgun bird shot, potholed it. If it was high grade armor, it wouldn't leave a dent.

It's also an open question if it was steel or lead shot. Lead is traditional but in some areas you might find steel (particularly for hunting).

Externally an M4 or AR-15 variant would look very similar, but if it was a civilian owned gun it's almost certainly an AR-15.

Pictures of Jane shooting an M6? Best article ever. Hands down. It looks like a lot of fun too! The gun shooting I mean...

As for the drive, I have a feeling it could have supported a couple more birdshots, but a single M6 shot without the shotgun shots would have rendered it useless anyway!

Was that Jane? Damn I think I am in love

But seriously, She is one pretty girl. Why Toms didn't take pics of her for Christmas is beyond my imagination. Guns and Chicks.....only in America.....too bad I'm in India.

Aw you look cute there Jane

 

[tommysch]

[citation][nom]JMcEntegart[/nom]In all fairness, we were told it was an M6 and guns are illegal where I come from. I never had a chance!He is Canadian. Firearms etiquette is not his strong suit.[/citation]

I am Canadian and I own an AR-15. Its highly restricted but not illegal. Id be he is from Toronto or Vancouver, that would explain everything.

Looks like a LOOONG barrel for a carbine. Just saying.

 

[Guest]

Agree with Bob. It's deff. and AR-15 (a semi-auto (civilian model) of the military M4, which is a variant of an M16) I should know. I just built one.

Calgary, actually. Sadly, I don't drive a truck or own any guns.

 

[taiso]

the m6a developed by lwrc looks just like this gun: http://www.lwrci.com/p-109-m6a1.aspx they are all from the same AR-15 family so its easy to mistake an M4 for this one or vice versa. the M6 (no a attached) is a shotgun like sting stang said. nice job jane and marcus!

How do we become fan's of Jane on facebook!?

 

[waikano]

Jane, Have you been working out? You look slimmer and loving the article too funny.

 

[thegreathuntingdolphin]

The gun looks like M6 or "M6A1" as taiso pointed out. It is probably shooting 6.8 SPC. The M6A1 is kinda of an obscure gun - very few are out compared, they are expensive, and the majority of shooters have not seen one. They also look a lot like an AR-15 because it is modeled on an AR-15...hence the confusion.

Whether it is a AR-15, M4, M16, or M6A1, it doesn't matter: it ripped through that case like butter.

I don't have enough fans for a Facebook fan page!

I'm not sure which picture you're comparing me to but yes.

tom's hardware next exclusive feature: jane's upgraded biceps and abs?

 

[jg3220]

so my question is, will these drives survive 2012? (assuming anything happens at all, of course)
