  1. What would happen if you dipped a handgun in liquid Nitrogen, pulled it out, and fired it? I hypothesize that it would shatter due to the thermal shock

    1. @nightwillow The force would cause the hammer to break, therefore doing nothing.

    2. @nightwillow If the bullet was inside the gun at the time of Liquid Nitrogen submersion, it would assumably shrink by about the same amount (or perhaps not, given that Lead is a softer metal and more elastic than Steel)

      1. @tenmihara @theonepony are these hypotheses? or have you seen this experiment done?

        1. @nightwillow Think about it. That's the only thing that makes sense.

    3. @nightwillow The intense cold would freeze any oil in the gun, jamming it up.

                    1. @bronymcbroningson It's too late. Now your just being unseemly and frightening the villagers. The ROYAL CANTERLOT voice is so 1000 years ago.
