Sounds like fun but I think I’ll stick with those rockets powered by baking soda and vinegar.
One time a friend of mine tried to warm up beans with a pressure cooker. I do NOT advise it. Dangerous. And big mess on the ceiling.
Pressure cookers have relief valves built in.
‘Actually, a semi-auto shotgun is good enough.’
I should hope so for home defense! But I did read about a fully automatic shotgun used by the military. Loaded with a drum if I remember correctly.
Only thing, I thought that shotguns violate the Geneva Convention. So maybe mercenaries? Dunno.
Libertarians. Not only wrong for America, just wrong.
“The Libertarian Party... helping to elect democrats since 1972.”
I saw the mess. The cap blew off like a bullet.
And the Boston Marathon Bombers used a pressure cooker too.
[But I was trying to keep it ‘light’.]
I have an 8-9 shot semi from Mossberg. Frankly, I can’t see how an automatic version would be any good especially when recovering the aim from the first shot.
Don’t doubt that but it shouldn’t have happened with your friends beans.
The French Revolutionary mantra: liberte’, egalite’, fraternite’; spawned Libertarianism. As such, it is a relatively modernist fad, in contrast to Principled Conservatism; which grew from the Greece of Antiquity from the likes of Aristotle, Pericles, Solon, Plato; among many others.
Does anyone seriously believe that a lack of freedom is the root cause of the very severe malaise that afflicts us as a nation?
Powders used back in mining days definetly yes. But in a gun, todays modern powders only burn at an incredibly fast rate. It takes an awful lot of continuous “push” for a projectile to be sent out of a long barrel. Theory is this. The heavier the projectile and the longer the barrel, the more push is required for it to make it to the muzzle. All powders burn at different rates for this reason.
Damn,,,, I forgot about that part. I stand corrected.
“There are rifles that can work like machine guns if a pin is pulled.”
Uh, no.
The only legal ones that (or similar trivial modification) might work for result in an uncontrolled complete mag dump: pull trigger, keeps firing until empty - extremely stupid dangerous.
Any guns which sanely handle what you claim are illegal.
And what the idiot in the lead post claims amounts to converting an M1903 bolt action rifle with fixed magazine, to a detachable magazine M16 (invented half a century later) machine gun, by merely pulling a pin. That’s stupid. The conversion is absurd; seriously, it’s easier to convert a VW Bug to a machine gun.
Yeah, but maybe we’re thinking ‘home defense’ while the leftists are worried about ‘drive-by’ shootings. One quick burst and they floor it.
Funny thing though. Gasoline is a much deadlier weapon than guns and wickedly versitile. Especially when a household chemical is added, and that knowledge is out there. The public could google it, not that I’ll make it easier for anyone.
And one guy turned his truck into a ‘ramming tank’. He tore up an entire town before they could stop him.
But let’s take guns away from law-abiding people.
I agree on all points.
There are a lot of things that could be converted into deadly weapons or delivery systems. Fear of law abiding people owning guns is irrational and might indicate clinical paranoia.
“What the heck is going on with the Libertarian Party?”
From the two commies that they are running for pres and VP, I think it’s pretty obvious that at the national level the libertarian party are just communists.
I thought Libertarians were supposed to be pro-freedom and not Statists?
Mass destruction? What a dope.
What a joke the LP has become!
...what the idiot in the lead post claims amounts to converting an M1903 bolt action rifle with fixed magazine, to a detachable magazine M16... machine gun, by removing a pin....
That’s what it sounded like.
