I'm finding air gun muzzle velocities top out at about 1500 ft/s, which is...servicable.

2018-12-06 18:53:34 UTC  

If you apply that to a .58 caliber 500 gr Minnie round then you have an air powered 1861 Springfield Rifle which is extremely deadly

2018-12-06 19:50:59 UTC  

"350 grain"
There is not a single grain involved here.

Pressurized air doesn't give us enough performance density

2018-12-06 20:42:38 UTC  

because you're dealing with a pressure differential

2018-12-06 20:48:00 UTC  

nah, pressurized air rifles have been used for warfare since the late 1700's

2018-12-06 20:48:39 UTC  

I know they've been used; they just aren't comparable to magazine fed nitrocellulose powered projectiles

2018-12-06 20:49:19 UTC  

coilguns are too shit tier, railguns need too much power

2018-12-06 20:49:50 UTC  

although I expect at some point we'll have good enough high current tech to make electrically propelled projectiles down the road

2018-12-06 20:51:57 UTC  

well yeah, obviously if they were *as good* as traditional powder we'd still see them in active service today, the question is what's the *next best thing* if you can't have powder

2018-12-06 20:54:57 UTC  

just make black powder

2018-12-06 20:55:13 UTC  

but if all of the oxidizing agents went away

2018-12-06 20:55:13 UTC  

still powder

2018-12-06 20:55:17 UTC  

yeah, air.

2018-12-06 20:55:59 UTC  

Airguns are great for suppressing shit

2018-12-06 22:27:39 UTC  

We have Nutrias in our neighborhood. They're cute as long as they keep their mouths closed.

2018-12-06 22:28:39 UTC  

There are some in the parks in town too. They'll come up along with the ducks to ask for bread.

2018-12-06 23:45:22 UTC  

are high point pistols, memes?

2018-12-06 23:55:34 UTC  

They're cheap and ugly but they shoot bullets

2018-12-06 23:55:38 UTC  

hi points are pistols

2018-12-07 00:35:34 UTC  

They will shoot bullets, and probably do so in the most cost effective manner possible.

2018-12-07 00:35:40 UTC  

Don't ask for much else.

2018-12-07 00:36:08 UTC  

I have seen one work after it got shot in the slide though. That was impressive.

2018-12-07 02:07:33 UTC  

hi points are pretty sturdy

2018-12-07 02:07:48 UTC  

disassembly sucks

2018-12-07 02:08:36 UTC  

I would have more recommendations for 2.5x the cost that are probably better on a shitload of levels

a gun channel with a million subs and youtube hasn't murdered it yet?

2018-12-07 19:35:10 UTC  

give it time

2018-12-07 19:35:17 UTC  

Ian had some plan

2018-12-07 19:35:29 UTC  

but he hasn't been pushing it

2018-12-07 20:20:58 UTC  

tbf demolition ranch has 6mil subs

2018-12-07 20:29:18 UTC  

demo ranch. the ltt of fire arms.

2018-12-07 20:33:48 UTC  

What is ltt?

2018-12-07 20:34:48 UTC  

Google suggests that it is Linus Tech Tips. I don't watch his shit so if ltt is that, is that like normie shit or something?

2018-12-07 20:37:08 UTC  

It's the popular channel that ppl find first and realise they have an interest in the subject so go deeper. They are the gateways if you will.

2018-12-07 21:53:48 UTC
