Voting closes the 24th. Yeet Cannon for the Win.

MANSFIELD, OH (WCMH) — A Mansfield-based gun manufacturer is crowdsourcing the name of its new nine-millimeter pistol, and the internet has responded.

Beginning earlier this month, Hi-Point Firearms urged social media followers to submit names for its new pistol, and the Yeet Cannon (YC-9) came out on top with 556 entries, according to the manufacturer’s Instagram page.

Never owned one but a friend of mine has one and it is extremely reliable and very accurate. Dunno about this new one.
 


Thug life and Gangsta life have already been taken, so 420 life would be a great name for the new Hi point. There are lots of thug pics where they are holding a hi Point in the gangsta pose.
 
There’s some discussion about this in the WTF pic thread.

Aero is releasing a couple Yeet Cannon lowers.

But PSA is also capitalizing on it. They’ve already filed variances for a 5.56 and 9mm version:

...but I did read somebody mentioned Hi-Point caved? Haven’t gone to dig up that story, yet.

They caved then they backtracked and left YC-9 in the running due to outcry. It’s on their I.G. I think saying “we hear you...”
 
I saw on the SCCY Facebook account that they were going to sell some YEET slides due to HP caving.

They tried to pull a "We are a serious firearm manufacturer" but quickly got reminded they are a joke and decided to just to embrace it. It's funny how a bunch of instagram gun meme pages can bully a pretty large company.

Ill admit, Hi-Point has always kinda fascinated me because of this specifically. They have some absolute die hard fans, and they have had some guns that from what I hear are awesome (carbines), but they are just all absolutely ugly. I have yet, in all my years, met anyone that said "I actually like how they look" without snickering to themselves.

To me, they are like the McDonalds of the firearm world...as long as they stay in their lane they are fine. But don't be thinking you are a Dairy-O or Chick-Fil-A.
 
HK social media has been trolling them with the Yeet Cannon. I'm honestly impressed that HK has someone so well versed in common social media jokes as well as military jokes.

They can't be German

HAHAHA, so true!!!

BTW: I can say that as I work for a German company. I knows what I's talking 'bout.

I thought so, but the hours that their social media use is up kind of lend itself to being in Europe. I've even seen Benelli's social media attempting to step of their posting game.

PSA just released both of these as an actual pre-order. Pay now and they’ll ship in 4-6 weeks. Way better than their normal “preorder” process.

Note: the 9mm version is a different style than the billet one pictured

The idea of Benelli joining us peasants on something as common as social media boggles the mind.
