It is effective. Machine guns had a similar law placed on them in 1968, now buying one is at least 10k, making it virtually unheard of to be used in crimes, as well as limiting the total number in existence, as some machine guns break beyond repair over time.

Still very hard to obtain a permit, as you require 16 hours of instruction, passing a live-fire exam, and paying about $200 in fees (on top of the $400 class).

So we can make explosives out of humans? Oh boy.
Fighter jets have automatic star navigation to augment their GPS navigation features. It’s more than a fun project, it’s military technology.
It’s rated T and I think that’s a fair rating. Cartoony shooter with bugs being the main enemy, robots at other times. All that is just to provide challenge for the main goal of mining minerals and such. The difficulty slider goes all the way down to really easy but there is no off switch for the enemies.
Overall I would say it’s kid friendly enough, as long as you don’t mind guns being used to squish bugs.

My guess without checking would be regulatory. The FDA doesn’t want to approve an alternative to an already working method unless it can be shown to truly be an alternative. That testing is lengthy and expensive.
The main use is to detect how much endotoxins (proteins that cause our immune system to react) are present in a sample. This is important because we often use bacteria/fungus/yeast to produce medicine and then remove the microorganism from that medicine. This checks for anything left behind in that process, far more sensitive than any other test or machine can do.
If it wasn’t for horseshoe crab blood, creating medicine that is safe for injection would be a lot harder and potentially more dangerous.
