Bored Guys Making a L96A1

British state-owned companies making weapons 3 bored guys in a shed making a L96A1

A two-panel Tom and Jerry meme contrasts British state-owned weapons companies with three bored men in a shed designing an L96A1 rifle. The joke exaggerates the idea that a sophisticated military weapon could be improvised casually by bored amateurs, using Tom’s excited blueprint scene as the punchline. It is used as a reaction to absurdly low-budget engineering or unexpectedly capable DIY projects.
