But aluminum is lighter AND stronger to help this 6600lb+ truck be fast and agile! A guy i paid to tell me I'm right made a graph which shows aluminum number is bigger! Those other truck manufacturers that have thousands of years of collective engineering experience are fools next to my brilliance.

He wasnt kidding when he said its straight from the cyberpunk genre. Pretty junk designed to fall apart sold by a corpo that doesn't care.

It's basic metallurgy knowledge that cast aluminium is prone to fatigue cracks way faster than forged steel. In fact all cast metals tend to be more brittle.

Extruded aluminium you can often bend back and forth quite few times before it snaps. Cast aluminium will just start to crumble at the bend.

Like the vending machine guns. Literally shoot then throw it away, they're not designed to be reloaded. Shame they tend to expect more quality from a 100k truck.

I'm really trying to figure out why you're being downvoted so much but don't get it.

Why in the name of God do vending machines for fucking guns even exist in the first place?

I really hope so. But it wouldn't surprise me, the US are insane.

It seems there are ammo vending machines in the south, and no guns yet. By now, thankfully, they are exclusive to the Borderlands series.

Same reason vending machines for drinks or cigarettes exist: easy access to capitalize on moments of weakness or craving.

That said the vending machine in question is only in the game Cyberpunk 2077. as far as I know, anyway...
