@colfax Yeah, I remember that. Good times.
-
@colfax What is RDN other than a bunch of ones and zeroes anyway ? A monarchy ? Who is the king ?
-
@colfax I stick to "handgun", "rifle/semi-auto rifle" and "shotgun" for firearm descriptors in my newscasts to keep it simple
-
@colfax Upon googling that, yes, exactly. Then again when he drove the bus my grandfather had bodybuilder arms.
-
@colfax A thick, short cylinder (20-30cm) made of hard and heavy wood, that they'd use to hit the tyre and check air pressure. Of course it could also hit other things.
-
@colfax Back when my grandfather drove a bus, they'd often have the "palo de rueda" at hand.
-
@colfax If you're going to attack someone at least make sure you're stronger. Hitting a bus driver with those wimpy arms can only go one way.
-
@colfax No, not really. But I've been meaning to get a nice radio setup for stuff like this, anyway.
-
@colfax Oh, I like that more than my "on the fly" idea of a multi-barreled revolver-shotgun.
-
@colfax Also, actually making a drum based three-barreled, hand-cranked, shotgun that automatically reprimes and reloads as you keep cranking would probably make you a gunsmith. That is, if the thing does not destroys itself with "normal use"
-
@colfax Awesome. Designing is fun. However actually making any of the stuff I jolted down ? Yeah, I do not know any electrical engineering. And since I live in Europe any design-doodle I make is pretty much non-explosive and non-lethal. As such mine are horse-pebbles when compared if you grade by awesomeness.
Although I do have the internals for a Cybran T2 destroyer ship worked out to a level where I could probably build one if you give me a couple of million. ( http://supcom.wikia.com/wiki/Cybran_T2_Destroyer ), which is probably one of my more awesome doodles.
As I said... design doodles... I don't have a job actually designing anything other than time tables for people with autism to help them through the day. -
@colfax Yes, Home Depot really blows every form of compareable European home-improvement store out of the water, pun intended. But you see, I would personally see even improvement if some people ( the psychologically compromised for example ) did not have easy access to weapons with massive killing potential. The keyword being "easy".
I really do not think people who are about to kill someone else look into Leonardo Davinchi's designs and say "hey, I am gonna make a Super Scythed Chariot and use it against my co-workers today". Because that would be too hard.
Same for Zipguns, yes you can probably make one, but shooting everyone in the boardroom up with a zipgun in under 10 seconds would be neigh impossible. Unless if you can create a 15 barreled zipgun that uses buckshot shotgun shells or something... Which would be hard to sneak in.
It's a difficult topic though. -
@colfax I am not saying you would ever commit any form of crime or tragedy, however, that does happen to be the topic you decided to ran along.
-
@colfax Yeah, my point exactly. Even if someone were to steal your weird zipgun and decide to go shoot up a cinema or something they probably would not get past 2 injured due to reloading times and whatnot. Also Carson's "you could just rush the gunman" would have been WAY more likely to succeed. It's not an AR-15 or something.
-
@critialcloudkicker @colfax pump action . . . of automatic shotgun? Where is this world you live ?!
-
@colfax True, but would that allow for stopping power the likes of which an actual pump action of automatic shotgun past the first actual shell ?
