the NEMO [Ti]ONE is meant to be a demonstration of our engineering and manufacturing superiority.

but didn't go on to tell us anything more....

They could've made the metal parts thinner to save some weight, now they made a less destructable rifle that actually weighs more.


Still would like to have someone give me one.

 

[BrandonLSU]

you can get a production one for $50k if serial # means nothing

[SGT_Kramer]

Well 50k... Guess I'll have to pop on one now...

"We made an ar nearly no one can afford to show our manufacturing capabilities"

I'm all for innovation, but it might as well be solid gold. If its too impractical what's the point?

 

[SpeedRacer]

Because aluminum ARs blow up all the time. Oh wait...no they don't.

 

[SGT_Kramer]

I'm guessing the tooling required to manufature such a marvel must be space age. I'm sure thats what there going for... But really this gun is probably why S&P500 droped 7 points.

 

[goteron]

And they still put a railed gas block on it.

It is neat though.

 

[Gringo Loco]

I don't know if I would actually shoot it, or mount it above my fireplace.

 

[Splat]

Nice, but I would still rather this!! http://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl...a=X&ei=oEaxT72vLcHg2gWe67npCA&ved=0CDYQ9QEwCg

Honestly "space aged" may be more right than wrong lol. With the right lube, it's possible that gun will actually fire in space. The caliber is all wrong for space combat (something more like a .17hmr would be better) but a 99% titanium rifle would Probably not freeze up in space. How cool is that?!

 

[Cochise]

This is probably a result of NEMO buying out S.I. Defense. NEMO has the government contracts and the crazy ideas, but S.I. has the space age manufacturing tech. As far as I know S.I. is one of the only companies in the US with the capability to put something like this together. I feel like NEMO must have designed this though. Based on what I have read about S.I., if they had designed it, it would have been made lighter, rather than stronger, than a standard AR, but that is just my opinion.

 

[oleheat]

OH WAIT- it's a 7.62.....



So that's why it's so high.

 

[dwr461]

I might be crazy.. Ok I'm not right in the head anyway. But I couldn't care less about a Titanium rifle. But if they made a functioning rifle with everything but the and wearing and bearing pieces made from Duct tape? Now that'd be freakin' cool.

Because aluminum ARs blow up all the time. Oh wait...no they don't.

It's the polymer ones that do.


Oh, wait...........

I love it! a 100k gun, and they stick MAGPUL plastic in it........ You think they might have thought about making a mag, grip and stock as well?????

O ya, you spend 100k and you buy a 1k scope! Really! All real shooters know the gun is worthless if you didn't spend at least equal value on the scope........

 

[LACamper]

oh, I don't know. I wouldn't want an all Ti gun but a Ti gas block would be great. Personally I'd rather see more CF in AR's. 8 lbs in a titanium rifle is crazy.

If they want to really impress me build a 3lb AR.

 

[Enraged Gecko]

Titanium exhibits the same high strength as steel while being approximately 45% lighter. While this strength-to-weight ratio is seriously impressive, titanium is still significantly heavier than aluminum (which, if memory serves, is approximately 60% lighter than steel)

Titanum is expensive due to it's rarity, difficulty to machine and weld, as well as the demand for refined titanium in various industrial and medical applications.
