Nick Poole

Currently obsessed with the idea of a Syrian "Zagros" style Big Ass Gun but with an old surveillance camera and mini TV mounted as the optics, like some kind of cassette futurist cyberpunk nightmare.

The temptation is to build a big Nerf gun or something based on this idea, but I don't have anything to... like... do with it? Like once it's done, then what?

(There was a brief period when I considered building a _real_ rifle around this idea, but it would be expensive, and useless, and the recoil would destroy the electronics after like 20 rounds)

By the way, if you're not familiar with the Zagros rifles, you should look into them. The Kurdish rebels make 12.7mm anti-materiel rifles out of the barrels from DsHK heavy machine guns and build tubular receivers and bolt carriers to marry them to RPG trigger groups. Then some poor bastard fires 12.7 (50cal) (or even 14.5 in the case of the "Şer" rifles) on a rigid platform from a bipod.
