I learned something today about the weirdest and rarest Ruger submachine gun that you will probably never see. When it is switched to the “AUTO”position, if you pull the trigger slowly it will fire semi automatically! No idea if this was the design intent or just “how it is”. Thanks to my Uzi-book-writing buddy, Dave Gaboury for asking the question!

@stan_menendez Crazy if you make your PCC the size and weight of a rifle then let it stroke 6” it’s very pleseant to shoot😂

[TheRustyMosin @TheRustyMosin]

This is very cool and I hope it does well. I am not a fan of companies lying to the consumer and selling them snake oil to make an extra buck. This is an actual roller delayed action and not in the same category as the stribog and Springfield slop delayed PCCs

@gator_enjoyer14 They’re getting paid to agree or they don’t know what they are talking about and want on the hype train to generate clicks.

It’s heavier than an Mac and more ergonomic. Ergonomics go a long way for perceived recoil.

@wingsofthebird The precision ground rollers are not a difficult or expensive thing, the bolt head and control piece are MIM parts everyday of the week.
Most people don’t know this but Taurus is a MIM house that also sells guns. They have supplied MIM parts for lots of companies Kinghts included

[TheRustyMosin @TheRustyMosin]

@peepee_p00p00_ There’s not enough stroke, it will likely beat itself to death, it is a German derived roller set up though.

[TheRustyMosin @TheRustyMosin]

@gator_enjoyer14 It’s not a delay mech if my gun runs fine without it.
The mechanical advantage provided by the rollers in the stribog/kuna is not sufficient enough to reduce the bolt weight past what is required for a straight blowback it’s marketing slop.

[TheRustyMosin @TheRustyMosin]

@BrassKickerMFG It is the best value roller gun on the market the next closest competitor is the Turkish mp5s and the angstadt arms roller gun(which is also an excellent roller gun)

An overview of Lucas’s case: breaking down the (unfounded) allegations and addressing common misconceptions

This marks the first major update I am providing on this platform. I believe it is necessary to address several circulating comments and clarify that, although this is a complex case in certain respects, it is by no means a futile one.

Now that we have filed for Lucas’s provisional release, many of our principal legal arguments have become part of the official case record and are therefore accessible to the prosecution. For this reason, there is no longer any need to withhold information on these points, and I will proceed to break down the main allegations brought against him.

According to his arrest warrant, Lucas has been charged with: money laundering (Law No. 9.612, Article 1), illegal firearms trade (Law No. 10.826 – Statute of Disarmament, Article 17), and participation in a criminal organization (Law No. 12.850, Article 2).

From the outset, it is important to clarify that all firearm parts shown in the media as having been seized were legally manufactured. There is a common misconception that, because Brazil maintains restrictive firearm regulations, many items are outright prohibited. This is not always the case.

Lucas is a partner at Potentia Pesquisa Bélica LTDA (Potentia Military Research), a legally established company registered with the Brazilian Army and authorized to produce certain controlled products. Its activities range from manufacturing firearm parts and accessories to developing semi-automatic and automatic weapon prototypes. Any irregularities in production or storage would result in administrative sanctions, not criminal charges.

Potentia is not only a lawful enterprise but also a growing one. It was scheduled to exhibit at Shot Fair, Brazil’s equivalent of the Shot Show, and had received praise from municipal-level lawmakers in the State of São Paulo, where it is based. A high-profile federal congressmen had even expressed interest in visiting its facilities.

The prosecution alleges that Lucas, or Potentia through him, was selling weapon magazines online, arguing that this constituted illegal arms trade. However, weapon magazines have have been declassified as army-controlled products since 2021. A regulatory presidential decree explicitly excludes magazines from the list of controlled items, and in 2022 the Army publicly confirmed, in response to an inquiry, that magazines may be sold directly by their manufacturers. This means that there is no need for a special permit or permission for their commercialization, be it sale or acquisition.

Despite this, prosecutors compiled a list of alleged buyers or potential buyers of these magazines. They produced both an extended list, including names, photographs, and occupations, and a simplified list containing mostly names and states of residence. In doing so, they grouped together individuals with criminal records (a small minority) alongside law-abiding citizens with no prior record, licensed gun owners, deceased individuals, and even a law enforcement officer from the State of Rio de Janeiro. This artificially inflates the scope of the alleged wrongdoing, effectively manufacturing a problem by conflating unrelated individuals.

The second allegation concerns money laundering, which is arguably one of the weakest claims presented. The prosecution has, thus far, failed to provide concrete evidence of laundering in the case file. They reference donations made to Lucas for the development of the Urutau project but offer no proof that production occurred on Brazilian soil or that the funds were diverted for illicit purposes rather than sustaining him during development. In fact, prior to the founding of Potentia, Lucas frequently stated, publicly, that he relied on feedback from individuals legally operating his devices in the United States for him to make digital file adjustments.

The prosecution also emphasizes its inability to access complete transaction details related to Lucas’s Monero account. This is effectively an admission of a lack of tangible evidence, reframed as suspicion. His use of a privacy-focused cryptocurrency is being treated as indicative of illicit conduct, leading to speculative and, at times, unfounded assumptions about his financial activity.

Perhaps the most serious accusation is that Lucas received royalties or commissions, via cryptocurrency, from three U.S.-based companies selling Urutau parts kits. This claim is both unproven and demonstrably false. Two of the three companies are already aware of these allegations, and one has issued a written statement explicitly rejecting them. It is also worth noting that, even if such royalties had existed, they would not constitute money laundering under the applicable legal framework.

The final allegation is that Lucas was not only part of, but the leader of, a criminal organization composed of four additional individuals, including his business partner. This claim is particularly far-fetched. The prosecution asserts that five individuals, most of them young university students with no prior criminal records, and many residing in different cities or states, coordinated a large-scale firearms trafficking and money laundering operation with both national and international dimensions.

To support this narrative, the prosecution devotes extensive portions of its argument to interpreting protected expressions of free speech as supposed evidence of radicalism, seemingly with the aim of discrediting the accused.

One individual was labeled a member of the alleged organization and was accused of providing “technical support” simply for recording two podcasts with Lucas. In another instance, ordinary social connections, such as being friends on Steam, were cited as evidence of real-world association. Similarly, the mere fact that two individuals allegedly lived in the same city was used to imply a relation of friendship.

At some point, it became just straight up disinformation. The Ministry of Justice and Public Security annexed a picture of the uncle of one of the accused that was later shown to be tampered with. They took away the orange tip of his airsoft rifle and claimed it was an actual AR.

The prosecution also repeatedly suggests that some of the other accused were involved in physically developing firearms or related components, yet provided no substantive evidence to support this claim.

Moreover, at no point do they clearly explain how this alleged criminal organization came into existence or how all five individuals became involved. Instead, their argument loosely traces back to Lucas’s former company, FNT Defesa e Electrônica, despite the fact that Lucas was its sole founder and member until its closure.

In summary, the prosecution’s case consists of an extended compilation of weak, unsubstantiated claims. It has disrupted the operations of a legally established company, attributed criminality to an item (magazines) that does not meet the legal definition imposed by law for it's commerce to be criminally punishable, and violated the privacy of numerous individuals across multiple states solely for purchasing a legal, deregulated item. It has also grouped together five individuals, some unrelated, others only loosely connected, only to be able to meet the legal threshold required to characterize a criminal organization (a minimum of 4 people).

I accepted Lucas’s case, alongside my colleagues, fully aware that it would not be easy, particularly given its public visibility and potential political implications. Nonetheless, I chose to take it, not only because others might not have done so, but also because, on a personal level, I am fully convinced of his innocence and committed to proving it.

Remember when PSA was like “hey we have these 10 new projects. Vote for your favorite so we can devote time to them” like 2-3 years ago? And then they come back with “yeah we didn’t finish those, here is some new vapor ware that’s totally coming soon”

@HoffmanTactical MIM is really cool it just gets a bad wrap from parts being designed incorrectly for the process/shoehorned into MIM for cost reduction and also the existence of Indomim
