Replace the Sten with the doohicky
Console_ModderSlightly modified doohickey
Well that’s downright demonic
You might even say it’s the core of demon…onic s-stuff
fuck
You tried, that’s what matters ❤️
F for effort <3
Looks pretty rad to me
Quite hardcore
Assuming this worker, how big would the explosion be with this payload?
SchmooNo explosion, just radiation and heat. Everyone nearby is dead, just not instantly.
How far is nearby?
I was just intuiting the answer based on watching a bunch of educational videos, I am not qualified to do the math on this lol.
itslilithThe closer the faster, days to weeks if you’re getting the full dose, months if you’re unlucky enough to get prolonged medical treatment
Further away, you might get away with losing your hair and developing cancer
At that point I’m just picking it up and holding it against the back of my cranium, no point in prolonging it
LucidlethargyThere are few things more terrifying than this concept… To be alive, healthy, and also dead in just a day or two…
I don’t get it
SSTFRocket wrench.
… what am I looking at here?
I mean, yes, rocket wrench, but ???
Have you ever wanted to unscrew the fuze from a dudded aircraft bomb, but you wanted to do it from far away?
This do that.
NOT_RICKEven clamping this onto the fuse sounds terrifying
9 out of 10 times it’s fine.
And the 10th time?
I wouldn’t worry about it.
A certain Martian is made very happy.
To shreds, you say?
And his wife?
That the neat part, then it isn’t your problem anymore…
I’ve never heard the 10th guy complain.
But if you’re far away and things go wrong, you won’t get that sweet release of death?
Seriously speaking though, that up close and personal version does look pretty fuckin cursed. I assume the call of the void is strong with EOD folks
The other version is a mechanical impact wrench. Activated by repeatedly yanking on the rope with full body strength. Both versions of the tool get fitted onto the fuze first like in the photo.
Yep, definitely cursed
Imagine using this on your cock
One detail I love in the later Ender’s Game books involves teleporting a properly apocalyptic bomb into a very small room with the people who launched it. One of them pops it open and basically clicks Disarm > Are You Sure? > Yes.
I think it’s Ender himself who asks ‘… is that all?’ The guy’s like ‘Oh, yeah. We made it very easy to turn off.’
Praying Mantis.
Big Hobart’s Funnies energy
The prototype was even sillier:
This season of battle bots is gonna be lit
RPG-76.
I had no idea the Shinzo Abe thing was a doohickey. I take it that’s not a regular bullet? How did it work?
I went digging and found this fairly detailed article on it armamentresearch.com/craft-produced-firearm-used-…
The dude had more doohickeys too! This picture of a cop holding one looks cyberpunk as fuck:
Craft-produced firearm used to assassinate Shinzo Abe - Armament Research Services (ARES)
N.R Jenzen-Jones & Patrick Senft Around 1130 hrs local time on 8 July 2022, former Prime Minister of Japan, Shinzo Abe (Abe Shinzō; 安倍 晋三), was shot in Nara, Japan, with a craft-produced (‘privately made’) firearm. Videos of the shooting suggest that the assailant was within a few metres of the former Prime Minister when
SanctusSo this is where Bungie gets their exotic weapon designs from for Destiny
Legend of Abcrius
Looks like a lego guy at first.
BuelldozerBlack powder, model rocket igniters, and shot pellets shoved into a piece of threaded pipe that’s capped on one end. You can build one of these in less than 30 minutes.
Hardest thing to get in Japan would probably be the black powder and it’s completely possible to manufacture that yourself. Everything else comes from the plumbing aisle of a DIY store and a model rocket shop.
Probably the most prominent electric firing mechanism for 3D-printed firearms has been developed by the user ‘@SuckBoyTony1’. This mechanism uses an 80 kV High Voltage Pulse Generator that converts 6–12 V (the electric potential typically provided by battery packs such as that seen with the assailant’s weapon) into 80 kV. This high voltage creates a hot plasma arc between two conductive contacts that can be used to ignite flammable materials
What’s with this level of overengineering? Just get the Piezo from lighter and good.
I’d guess people have tried those small piezos and they haven’t worked too well (not a big enough spark?), or at least it seems likely most would start from the simplest possible solution. I’d definitely have started with a piezo too if I was screwing around building a zip gun (which I’m definitely not doing)
Firearms don’t have to be needlessly complicated, zeroed in. Ammo, propellant, firing cap/something to ignite propellant, metal tubes to direct the subsequent blast & ammo.
The guy basically rigged up a rudimentary cyberpunk blunderbuss.
This machine kills fascists.
RAW
The heck does this one do? “RAW” is generic enough that it turned out to be hard to search for, heh
“Rifleman’s Assault Weapon”.
Documentation is pretty spotty. The publicly available stuff tends to be corporate marketing material which is written by people who might not fully understand the technical aspects and/or are fudging or intentionally simplifying.
The overview is that it’s a rifle launched multi-mode munition for the M16.
“What does it do?”
“You’re looking at it.”
