They've done it again, folks. Once again has the collective creative energy of the users of the world wide web been given the reins to product naming, and they never disappoint. Ohio based firearms manufacturer HiPoint put up a poll with the intent to crowd source a name for their new 9mm pistol, and the highest voted entry was "Yeet Cannon". Expect to see the Yeet Cannon 9mm, or YC-9 for short, for sale very shortly.


Brings back memories of when the Internet wanted to name a foot bridge in Slovakia after Chuck Norris, how 4chan hijacked a naming campaign for a new flavor of Mountain Dew, or the famous British polar research ship, the R.R.S. Boaty McBoatface.

Hahaha I actually love stuff like this.

Imagine getting robbed and telling your friends "Yeah I couldnt do anything he had a Yeet Cannon pointed my way"

Well, what do you expect when you give an internet run by kids and young adults who haven't been conditioned for society the power to name something that a large portion of the country wants to ban, yet is only still around because it's protected by the Constitution. (end politicism)

I'm actually laughing at this. HiPoint is not well regarded in the military community (from what I can gather when I saw something about this recently in a large Facebook group). But still, "Yeet Cannon"? "'Student' of the gun"? "Problem Solver"? "We Like Shooting"? Come TF on, and use a little bit of tact of put your mind into it.

(commence a little more politics) I'm a Conservative Republican. However, when I take the tests, I'm pretty centric, while being just slighty on the conservative side. That being said, there are a few things I'm "progressive" about. I think people could use a little more tact. With the stuff that has happened over the past half a dozen years or so with school shootings, I think the names could have used a bit more thought and tact when they were presented. (/end politics again).

Overall, I think it is kind of funny considering current memes and culture, but what about in 5 years, when "yeet" is no longer a thing? And "cannon"? It's not even close, for being a 9mm pistol. Just horrible. F'ing horrible.
