The U.S. Armys standard carbine, fires 5.56mm NATO round, shares 75-80% of the parts used in the M-16. For some reason ten year olds think they are qualifyed to operate and clean one because they use it in video games, and they read the wikipedia page on it.

1. A car created in the mid eighties by Carrol Shelby and Chrysler designed for ultra high speeds with only a 4 cyl engine. The top speed was in excess of 194 miles per hour and 0-60 times of 4.1 seconds, from a 2.5l twin turbo engine producing 440 bhp. With a mid engine layout and near perfect 50/50 weight distribution, and a space age frame (much like we see in F1 cars).
The car was canceled after market reaserch showed, that people would not be willing to buy an ultra-high-tech-lightweight supercar, which was superior to many european super-exotics. Primarily because of its engine size 4cyl and that the pricetag which was roughly the equivalent of the Corvette.
2. A technological advance that is discarded because people are not willing to accept, or are not willing to purchase it because of its exorbent pricetag.
