So a couple of guns have been made with variable twist rifling

It's mostly for not having barrels of really hot cartridges destroy themselves as quickly

But it's super expensive to do compared to normal rifling

sounds like you could just buy 2 barrels

Na it's like the twist gets tighter as it goes so that the bullet isn't instantly forced to spin up to full speed

Because if the gun is some retard fudd load that destroys rifling

I have heard of those. What kinds of cartridges would run that hot?

The Lee navys had em iirc

Mostly just meme guns

Why not use that on normal barrels to make them last longer? More expensive that replacing them?

It's absurdly expensive

Oh, you'd probably need a CNC gun lathe to do that now that I think about it.

So basically, within a year our 3D printing Russian god will have figured out how to do it with $20 in hardware store parts and a few stepper motors.

<@&558119990725705748>

When will heavy duty CNC sewingachines become as cheap as 3d printers so we can just make chest rigs and kevlar sheets in a few hours? That would be bad ass.

Tr3yway

The expensive part of Kevlar is the actual material @Red Korvo

Like it's this weird ass semi liquid crystal fiber

@Red Korvo just buy a sewing machine you fucking mong.

@Red Korvo you're autistic

@franknotcreep I imagine that a spool of kevlar would be cheaper than the fabric at least. And you could make your own shit more easily.

Yeah but that isn't sewn dingus

You can buy kevlar pretty cheaply

It's woven

@War Waifu eventually I plan to. I need to move out and get more space for one.

It's a sewing machine

You can do it at your desk

I have a computer at my desk, and nowhere to store the sewing machine. I need to clean out my room as it is.

Wash your penis

@franknotcreep By CNC sewing machine, I meant one that could weave too, my bad.

Two very different machines

Are you Jorden Petersoning me?

yeah a loom and a sewing machine are way different

@Snowback I thought that was the idea.

@Red Korvo kill yourself

Looms have to be very big and have a shit ton of moving parts

You need to feed in a bunch of strands all at the same time

Like making a home size loom to get cheaper Kevlar is rarted

There is literally no way to have a machine that would loom out material and sew it in 3d at the same time

You need a machine the size of a ford f350

And a sewing machine

An injection molder and an mill are very different too, but 3d printers can make structures that would require both. I'm looking for the 3d printer of... thread. I know it's not a thing and won't be for a while. But a man can dream.

It doesn't work like that

3d printers dont weave

They dont stitch things together

Holy shit bro

All 3d printers work by applying a hot material to bond to another hot material of the same kind

I've been patient with you

Did I ask for a 3d printer that could use thread? I used it as an analogy. I know you can't use thread with a printer.

But equating a 3d printer to a mill and injection molding machine

Im boutta go off

😂

FDM printing is still garbage tier

Like literally

I'm aware of the limits and differences between those two and a printer. Very aware. I own a damn printer.

@Red Korvo bro yea you can

filament is basically thread

Good for form factor testing and memes to post on reddit

just melty thread

@Red Korvo I'm telling you that you can not just run a single stitch and create an item with one big spool of material. It doesn't work like that. You need flat sheets of woven fabric to be stitched together to make stuff.

Like your talking about spewing out a line that you are then somehow turning back on its self and sewing into shapes without every tying its self in a knot

<:bump:559970205221126145>

nah man thatll totally work

But if you want to make something out of kevlar its extremely easy and cheap

Buy kevlar inserts from surplus vests

Cut it to shape

Sew it together

Boom you got whatever the fuck.you want

North Hollywood gigga nigga armor coming right up

Yeah you call literally just add more layers to make armor 3a

There is a specific formula for kevlar layers to certain ratings

You just need really sharp tools and a decently powerful or sturdy sewing machine

It's like $100 for a good sewing machine

Cheaper if you jew some old lady

or kill her

Smart tbh

I'm finna break into ram ranch and steal one of their machines

The actual industry ones are like 2 or 3k

They are huge and heavy and use a oil tray

@franknotcreep so it would be right up your alley

industrial shit is expensive because of the service package when it comes to "capability" a lot of the time though

Honestly the old machines for making cowboy saddles are the best sewing machines ever made

like there are plenty of capable home shop sewing machines for single users that should do whatever you want

Yeah them things are hardcore

anyone have the "doomer" interview?

The singer 15-91 is the ideal starting gear making sewing machine

who tf wasted their time to interview a doomer?

This is like saying a mill can't squirt plastic out its spindel in layers. No shit. I know. It won't work like a 3d printer. Idk how it will work. Someone will probably build it in their garage some day. In the mean time I'll learn how to sew. Just thought it would be cool.

Your thoughts are retarded

@Red Korvo shut the fuck up

You need to go outside

the /gq/ interviews?

lots of shit would "be cool"

You mean /gq/ magazine?

it would be real cool if they made machine guns totally legal and available everywhere

how cool would it be if we had a machine that just teleported whatever you wanted

Its pretty insulting to call anyone that got interviewed a doomer

so you could make anything

but there is no use entertaining retarded notions

It would be cool if I could just have a microwave that made gear when I put thread in the tray
