if you made it right.

Or didn't get something stuck in the barrel.

The barrel wasn't sized for your round

or the bolt wasn't tight enough against the breach

Yes

Or just any bad craftsmanship

@M4Gunner Could be a barrel obstruction or ammunition issue, but if you're making it all yourself, I'd look at the barrel, chamber, and locking system first.

You'd be surprised

People have been making 300yard accurate sharpshooter rifles in their sheds for almost 300 years

Oh, you can just do a smoothbore barrel if you're worried about rifling tolerances, much simpler.

Low pressure system, not a bad idea

lol how about you start with a muzzleloader kit instead?

Well, start small

You can worry about effectiveness once you get it functional

So what is this getting mounted on?

of your design?

Mount the gun sideways gangsta style, so to keep the height down

"we must call it a front-hole for social justice" wat

WAT.

@Maw I'ma stick your front hole with my man-clit

I've had an idea for a while for a drone that maps the terrain from above, and tracks moving objects, and then relays that info to a base station that displays it onto augmented reality headsets, to paint moving targets in real time

I'm fairly certain there's open source projects that do that on GitHub right now

Any low-end DSLR could be taken apart and grafted in to a model airplane body

@Fitzydog So it would display a sort of 3d model of what's in it's view from above?

Probably not. You're essentially asking the program to spot differences between two photos, after correcting for air-speed

@banestrum Yes, and it could be used for night vision as well, technically. Using the same concept as self-driving cars

@M4Gunner If your ISO is high enough, not really

video, stills, it's all the same really

It's a matter of frame rate at that point

Kinda, but it's just some dinky backpack heli with a live feed to a tablet

No

I got my idea from trying to think of a better way to do night vision driving. Usually, it's with huge headsets, which fuck up your depth perception and limits your speed

Why not use the self-driving car cameras, and feed that live view into AR glasses, so you see the world like this:

Oh man...

Looks like something from that one episode of Serial Experiments Lain

> stop taking drugs

*definitely* like something out of S.E.L.

It's not as good as day-time, but a hell of a lot better than 80 degrees of view, 12inches in front of your head

@Fitzydog I've got a bad feeling man

@Jab Yeah, that was weird how fast that was

@Fitzydog No.. Not just that

There's something I've been talking about and discussing for a few days now that bugs me
