How do you cast for 7km per second?

[MBTcustom]

I dont know, but I want one!!!!

[Beagle333]

Using hydrogen gas and powered by a shotgun shell, it achieves a velocity of 7 km/s.


Both of these, I got.... I just need to borrow me some technology! ;):redneck:

[texassako]

If I read it right, all you need is a shotgun shell, some hydrogen gas, and a really fancy air gun to get those speeds.

[tomme boy]

Hey guys, I got this new gun and it is leading the bore something terrible. I am running it at reduced loads at 20,000 fps. Do you think it is the alloy or the lube?????

[searcher4851]

Sound to me to most likely be gas cutting. Try using one of them there gas checks rated to 50,000 fps. That should take care of it. [smilie=l:

You switch over to Ben's Red and that should take care of your problem.

Powdercoating will let you get up to 25K fps and maintain 2 MOA or less. ;)

Read the stickies![smilie=1:

[gtgeorge]

Are you using the Titanium check? If your using those cheaper aluminum checks it may actually be aluminum deposits in your bore.

[Bad Water Bill]

Where are my hip boots?

Never mind as I think chest waders are the only hope.:bigsmyl2:

[searcher4851]

Better get a snorkel too, BWB, it's getting real deep in here.

[gsdelong]

Now that Doe Run is closed I think it is inferior Chinese lead :kidding:

[Elkins45]

such systems are capable of forcing liquid hydrogen into a metallic state.

:holysheep

That's not something you see everyday!

So to answer the original question: you don't have to cast. The gun makes its own metallic hydrogen projectile!

Oh great a new tool for hitmen. After the shot the bullet just dissipates. I don't know if chest waders will do. I think I'll bring a raft.

[oneokie]

Float tube at minimum.

[Larry Gibson]

Wonder what the haz-mat fee is on liquid hydrogen?

Larry Gibson

[Gelandangan]

I got plenty of liquid hydrogen, but they are contaminated with oxygen and some other trace mineral.
Wanna buy some? oh and I also got a bridge on sale.. cheap..

Ben's going to be a very wealthy man........

[fastfire]

Just started building an Arc:bigsmyl2:

[dh2]

What the hell I want one , after all the time I have spent playing with wild cat rounds to get some thing to shoot flatter , This would end all of that

[bersa380]

What about the equal and opposite reaction thing. I'm trying to imagine a 4-500 gr projectile leaving the muzzle of a shoulder fired rifle at 25k fps. Sounds very painful.

Bet the recoil would be, let's say SHARP?

[SciFiJim]

Just the thing for the the deer that can't be killed with a .50 bmg!


Wonder if it can be had in a pistol?

[jeepyj]

I'm wondering if a 2000 - 7000 power scope will be enough?

[Sensai]

You single shot guys just think you're soooo hot! I'm holding out for the lever action model. :bigsmyl2:

[Bad Water Bill]

WAAAAAH

I want a FULL AUTO for spraying P dogs.:bigsmyl2:

[bersa380]

I ran some figures through a recoil calculator and with a 10lb gun the recoil energy would be 4200 ft/lb enough to kill you I think.

[OBIII]

There ya go. Someone tries to inject logic into an otherwise interesting discussion.

That right there is one of the funniest comments ive read in a long time.
Bwahahahahahaha!!!

You dream crusher!
I am undaunted! I will install a slip on, super recoil reducing recoil pad.
I think its all in how you roll with it....

[Bad Water Bill]

Think that will work on the full auto one I presently have on order at your shop?

[swheeler]

When it's fired using helium instead of hydrogen it just lets out a high pitched squeel instead of a loud boom.;)

[jhalcott]

NO BODY is talking about accuracy with these "GUNS"! I'm not interested in how fast I can MISS a target.

Just don't shoot it from the bench. If you're standing you can sway with the recoil ;)

With that kind of shock wave a close pass would do.

Now that's just plain funny!

That squeal is the shooter reeling in pain

Does AAC make a "can" for one of these varmint rifles?

This may do the job? It's a little bulky though.

You west coast folks better get yours now, it's only a matter of time before California bans hydrogen due to it's impact on the environment.

[Freightman]

Has to have a bi-pod as the barrel looks like it will be nose heavy.

California is an impact on the environment.

[Bad Water Bill]

Look at an OLD map of the Colorado River.

Yes it was an area that supported many fishing villages and much wildlife "UNTIL".

Yes there WERE many canyons full of wildlife "UNTIL"

And the list of the ways Kalifornia has destroyed the environment can go on and on.

Now they want us to believe there is no ulterior motive in banning lead boolits to save a bird that should have vanished when the last of the mastodons died out.

The next thing you know they will want the U S Gov to pay for pipelines to suck the great lakes dry.:evil:

[Thumbcocker]

Better get with Waksipi and start hoarding lube grooves.

[finstr]

What a great coyote round that would be! At 23,000fps it would have a point blank range of approximately 3 1/2 miles given a 4" kill zone (depending on BC)
I wonder if Leupold makes a 45-125x220 tactical scope? :shock:

fastfire,

I don't think the lathe I have access to is big enough to thread a barrel for that can!:shock: I bet that one cost almost as much as a "can" on gunbroker.
