One of the latest photos beamed back to NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) from a Mars rover appears to show the first handgun ever spotted on Mars. Some commenters say it’s a spitting image of a Glock 17. Others argue that the big slide and overall size make it a spitting image of a Desert Eagle. What’s your take?
Desert Eagle
That is not a Glock or any other firearm. It is an optical delusion.
Totally agree. It’s not a firearm at all. What appears to be a slide looks to me like a gap or open space…
I know its hard to tell in a B&W image, but it looks like an airsoft 1911 clone.
Well,,,aren’t you just the intelligent one.
You mean optical allusion
Looks like a rock that looks like a gun.
Nah, its one of those airsoft gun look alike, you can see the orange tip… duh
I think it is one of Hillary’s hard drives!
Why that’s one of those new cheap cobra 9mm’s, who’da thunk that martians would be into such cheap guns, lmao!!!
Martian made 27mm “hand cannon”, they are a bit heavy, but with the reduced gravity on Mars, it’s not to bad. Don’t forget to spend a little extra on “CO2 sealed ammo”.
BTW the Marines have been carrying these “un-officially” for years. If you are wanting buy them in quantity , there is a dealer on LV-426 who can make you a good deal.
I know, not funny, but what do expect from a Sea Bee.
It’s a Glock rock.
Oh, come on Roger, let us have some fun once. 🙂
Looks like every other Rock on that planet!
Hey it is probably a Hi-Point that a Martian shot once and it broke on him so he tossed it! LOL
I think Marvin dropped it when he was chasing Duck Dodgers in the 24 1/2th Century
Looks a rock to me.
Everybody knows Martians have better taste in pistols than to own a ugly glock! Who knows though maybe the Martians wife bought the glock for his birthday. Then when the Martian saw it he said” Christ this is the ugliest weapon I’ve ever seen!” Then he threw it out the spaceship window. Several other Martians have seen it while driving past but none stopped to pick it up for free cause they thought it was a$$ ugly too;-)
Has to be a Glock. Hickok 45 wouldn’t have taken anything else
Why would any being advanced enough to be on Mars have something as archaic as a firearm?
Bing! We have a winner.
Couldn’t be a Glock: Since nobody on Mars cooks, they never invented Tupperware…
I beg your pardon that’s an M&P
It is OBVIOUSLY the lost ” ROCK” island prototype!
Neither it’s a SCCY CPX2. lol Actually it’s Buck Rodgers ray gun.
Of course it’s a Mars Automatic Pistol, also sometimes known as the Webley-Mars.
Oh! My God! It looks like a GUN! Somebody needs to ban Mars, or NASA! Hell even ban the rover! We can’t go there, EVER! There’s a rock that looks like a gun! Somebody might pick it up and point it at someone! GEESH! Pretending to be a Liberal!
Can’t be a gun. I believe Mars has been declared a Gun-Free Zone.
Hey look if i had a space rig ,i’d surely cruise down to earth grab me a thousand rounds ,a good pistal and then go some where like mars and pop a couple rocks have a good time. When your out of ammo on mars what do you do with the thing :(pitch it ) sounds highly likely to me
It is obviously a newly developed laser gun that will not be allowed by US gun control politicians for civilian use.
Nostalgic?
A collector?
Same reason I have “inferior” old firearms like a British SMLE, Mauser 98, 1903 Springfield, and Mosin Nagant.
Or studying their enemies!
Maybe a “drop” gun!
I’m kidding on all accounts of course.
better question, what beer are people who see a Glock drinking, vs. those who see a Desert Eagle?
Looks like a rock to me.
Dudes, that is not a Glock, it’s a Pop-Tart that has been eaten into the shape of an M&P 9L. You can clearly see the outline of the replaceable back strap. You’d think with the money being spent on this mission they could supply a HD photo to settle this question.
photoshop?
Found near the “Face of Elvis” mount.
