Yes, Ed, I would like to share some of my experiences with people. That's why I show them the videos of snipers who head shoot our soldiers getting blown into many small parts. You got a problem with that? Now, *that's* a party -- for the twisted and emotionally disabled. You're an adult. Cope. And you are one sick dog, Steve.

I'll have to pop him out of the killfile and see what he's been up to. -- Ed Huntress |

Once you've taken a step toward becoming what you hate, anything is possible. So, do you visit the beheading videos often? -- Ed Huntress Actually, a friend of mine was beheaded in Chechnya. He and two others were kidnapped, held for weeks, then beheaded and their heads left beside the road outside Grozny. Know what you're talking about before you spout off, you have not got a clue. 'Sorry to hear about your friend, but that has nothing to do with you watching snuff flicks. And if you think it does, then it screwed up your mind. -- Ed Huntress I don't seek out such footage. Well, that's refreshing to hear. -- Ed Huntress |

wrote: "cavelamb" wrote in message om... Could be the first real advance in hand held weaponry since gunpowder? The Dread http://www.defensereview.com/modules...rticle&sid=526 But, what is the DREAD, really? How does it work? In a sentence, the DREAD is an electrically-powered centrifuge weapon, or centrifuge "gun". So, instead of using self-contained cartridges containing powdered propellant (gunpowder), the DREAD's ammunition will be .308 and .50 caliber round metal balls (steel, tungsten, tungsten carbide, ceramic-coated tungsten, etc...) that will be literally spun out of the weapon at speeds as high as 8000 fps (give or take a few hundred feet-per-second) at rather extreme rpm's, striking their targets with overwhelming and devastating firepower. We're talking about total target saturation, here. All this, of course, makes the DREAD revolutionary in the literal sense, as well as the conceptual one. Not really new. The Civil War era supposedly had a steam powered gun that used steam to spin the bullet carrier. IRRC...there was a diesel powered one used in the Trenches in WW1 "Not so old as to need virgins to excite him, nor old enough to have the patience to teach one." |

I hadn't heard about this before. I thought all you people were safely locked up. -- Ed Huntress |

It was unconditional in that the Japanese had to agree to whatever we wanted. And they did. |

Just that claim alone makes me not too interested in the device, which probably would face a lot of trouble (guide wear, fracture possibilities etc) for other reasons. i All easily overcome by applied metalurgy. Recoil cannot be overcome by metallurgy. In fact...with some usage of superconductors, and the proper computer connection...some really scary ballistic trajectories could be applied to each sphere as it leaves the weapon. Tossing them in a curving low to the right with a rise at x distance could be done. Want to put it in a window and have it travel down the hall and break to the right at the end? Possible. Pitchers demonstrate that in every baseball game. And the rounds could be explosive, spin armed fragmentation grenades.....etc. Select a new feed box, which automatically resets the computer to the charectoristics of the selected ordnance.....nasty..really nasty.... I think that your optimism as to how many degrees of freedom you can give to a spinning metal ball, is unfounded. I can see how you could impart a curving trajectory to it, but I cannot see how you can manage details of this trajectory so finely, and no that easily at the typical speed of a flying bullet. But, I always like progress in such military matters. I am always especially interested in psychoactive weapons that would make opposing forces **** their pants, discard their weapons and run home, without doing any damage. -- Due to extreme spam originating from Google Groups, and their inattention to spammers, I and many others block all articles originating from Google Groups. If you want your postings to be seen by more readers you will need to find a different means of posting on Usenet. http://improve-usenet.org/ What recoil? It is not the Newtonian forces of expanding gases, is the tangential force of the weight of the ball against the barrel as it rolls / slides down the tube. |

I skipped the meeting, but the Memos showed that Gunner Asch
wrote on Tue, 03 Feb 2009 21:58:34 -0800 in rec.crafts.metalworking : All seriousness aside, it would seem that apparently, progressive hold no beliefs strongly enough to refuse to compromise or to defend. And because of that, and the all too human tendency to think of others as oneself, they seem incapable of grokking the idea that someone may actually mean it when they say "Death to the Infidels." That it isn't some kind of colorful metaphor, they really do mean "Convert or Die!" tschus pyotr Group Hug! Group HUG!!!! Kumbya! Kuuuummmmbyyyyaaaa!!!!! Snerk!!! Gurgle.......kick,,,,,,,, To Ed & Co.....those are merely "cultural idosyncrises" and of course...multicuturalism means they are to be accepted. After all...its ok to toss battery acid in a girls face....its multicultural. Right? Afterall...it is THEIR culture. Ed and Co would have greeted the Thugee with open arms and flowers. glad cries of Multiculturalism, and of course the Thugee would have greeted EdCo with golden cords and glad cries. To paraphrase the British Raj, when told that it wast the Hindoo tradition to burn the widow on their husband's self same funeral pyres. And we have a tradition of hanging those who murder widows". I am fearful of the backlash after the next "Event." It will mean the end of the Republic as we knew it, or as our grandparents knew it (those who were alive before the New Deal.) I'm not saying "The United States of America" would suddenly cease to exist - after all, the "Roman Republic" operated for some 19 centuries under that name- but by then Rome was in Asia and spoke Greek. To reset the US Republic will take more than just setting a few examples, and some modest changes, for the problem is ideological, social and cultural, - intrinsic to the situation, and those are not easily changed. Look at how quickly China returned to 'getting rich' after forty years of the Maoist brand Marxism. Unfortunately, the Federated Russian Republic didn't have much of a merchant class, and 70 years of "Ve gotz Government office for dat" leaves it in a situation where Democracy would be wonderful," if only we had a strong leader to make it happen." It would be one thing if we could _just_ shoot the corrupt, but that would not solve the problem of the "I've got mine" mentality. On my worse days, I consider deporting enemies of the republic after stripping citizenship and assets to be simply a reasonable proposition. I always want to make sure they get a fair trial, I am not an arbitrary tyrant. The really sad part it that the quality of the TV & movies is likely to decline. Sigh, but there are costs to everything. tschus pyotr -- pyotr filipivich We will drink no whiskey before its nine. It's eight fifty eight. Close enough! |

Those wheel machine guns with the multiple barrel like The Terminator favors would seem to be enough for me. I wouldn't want someone after me with one of those. I have seen videos of them, and they are awesome. So are the 20 mm. chain cannons.

Once you've taken a step toward becoming what you hate, anything is possible. So, do you visit the beheading videos often? Guys like him can never see it themselves. Lots of other people can too. It's obvious that many men here, and I use the term loosely, are virtually indistinguishable from the "terrorists" they despise so much. They want to act in the exact same way as their enemies do. They always see a big difference between themselves and the "bad guys" and they never know that the bad guys think exactly the same way they do. You can't make them see it though so it's a waste of time pointing out how similar they are to the people they hate. We see it though. Hawke |
