2020-03-24 at 3:07 AM UTCwew. i ordered a beretta from a supplier who also sells brand new machine guns, and i hadn't noticed on the page that 'this is for law enforcement and military customers only', because why the fuck would a beretta pistol be restricted. but, they took my money and it's shipped anyways.
they sell M249 machine guns for 7700 dollars and MP5A2's for 1800. colt M4 automatic carbines for 1100. i have to figure out what hoop i jump through to get my hands on the real shit. -
2020-03-24 at 3:12 AM UTCyeah, i've heard you can start a tabletop FFL pretty easily. i'm gonna look into it.

i used to have the entire treatise of unclassified publications some military unit literally threw in the trash from their experiments and tests on various liquid propellants and how utterly and absurdly difficult it was to use liquid propellant…properly measured…to be ignited with electricity.
can solid propellants be ignited with electricity / hot elements ? -

Yeah shotguns aren't terrible but they are impractical for a real shootout. I'm mostly thinking of a local example of someone I know who went out with a shotgun to a gunfight and got killed by an SKS. For home defense against a crackhead burgler shotgun is OK but against a real enemy a plinky 22 is more versitile for the terrain, travels WAY farther and is way more accurate and reloads faster. Many shotguns do have decent mods such as a pistol grip or fuck, not much else but I would take my chances with a .22 pistol with a dumbass with a shotgun. I should have specified in my previous post I was talking about a .22 pistol -

yeah, definitely

I can potentially overengineer with pressure sensors, timed solenoid valves etc -

or use conventional catridge but instead of a cap use a tungsten xmas light filament as your ignitor.
the contact point can be where the caps are and the casing as ground.
power source can be modified from cordless drill batteries. -

Ultimately it comes down to Newton's laws and pushing between the bullet and the gun complicating this mechanism makes no sense IMO.
