phillips head anyone ?

See, you learn something new here every day. I have one of the parkerized Lazy Dog bomblets, I've had it for probably 45 years... just never knew until now what it was actually called. Thank you AggieEE!

The whistles are awesome, if not impossible. The Buick might be a good idea for the reason stated.

Thanks for the image !
I also had to look it up and was surprised to learn it was some idea of a weapon back in the Nam.
I have to be honest and say I never even heard of the things while there, but they are kind of cool looking.
Boy, you'd have to drop alot of those to have any effect where I was. It was all thick canopy jungle, no chance those little metal thingies would make it through. Those things would have been some mean shrapnel in a boobytrap. Sometimes our government is counter productive to say the least...

[oldpara]

I had a thought ever since I saw a "lazy dog" bomblett(?). Cast a broadhead in the base and make a sabot shotgun slug. What say you oldpara?
AggieEE

Now that I know what it is, here's my take.

See, and those might even be doable... you know, without the Open Arms inscription.

Do I have to be the first crude sob to suggest that most masculine part of the anatomy? Or how about the doctor's delving digit?

I dont know if it will help with decision making, but I'd take a mold or two and have some projects that sure would benefit from a cnc mill

Right now I can't make molds for others.
The molds I make for myself are rudimentary and I wouldn't feel good about charging money for them.
In the future I hope to have the ability to make "real" molds, then I would be happy to make anyone what they wanted.

For now, if you have some ideas/projects feel free to post or PM sketches or drawings and I'll model something for you.
I won't use it for myself, it's yours.

[AggieEE]

oldpara, I was thinking about the lazy dog for a shotgun but on a bullet might work also. Anyway, since you have or can generate the coding to cut the molds I know there are short run machine shops out there that would do short runs with your code. I don't know how many pieces they would want to do at one shot but.... Just trying to get something unique and if it puts coin in your pocket why not?

ok i still love this thread the stuff you come up with is AWSOME. i wish i won the lottery i would buy all the equip and let you use it to make these .of course you would have to make me a few
keep up the good work tho.

It would make a wicked looking saboted slug, but you know, someone would be scared of it and want to outlaw the thing...

I've tentatively looked into getting together with a smaller cnc job shop.
Asked around a little but nothing yet.

the lottery.... Oh what fun a person with our hobby could have !

[oldpara]

Here's one even though I couldn't cut it with the equipment I'm using now.
Wth the correct twist, clean holes through

I thought a bullet that looked like a condom would be cool. Maybe there's a market for rubber bullets.

Hope I'm not in trouble for this one....

[slim1836]

Not by me, but if you EVER make a .309 or .314 whistle mold, put me on the list. Sure would be worth it to watch heads turn at the range while shooting my Tikka or Mosin Nagant.

I would think that just about any whistle will **** out at MACH 1 or more over the mouthpiece?

It's worth a try a least. Guess Oldpara ought to test fire one first, if it works, be great at long distance.

Would be an annoying sniper round. Imagine hearing that screaming downrange.
I'd sure leave the AO pronto.

[Oreo]

A whistle, first of all, would absolutely have to be subsonic, and probably subsonic by a wide margin.

Second, even if it did actually whistle the report would only be for a fraction of a second at normal ranges. So suggest extremely long ranges with a very subsonic boolit seems almost a non-starter. Maybe bp canons or mortars this would work with their high arching trajectory.

You are being utterly practical, realistic, and probably correct ... Boooo
Try to imagine for a second, and go with that.
Has it ever been done ? What would that doppler effect sound like ?
And a BP mortar round whistle ? That would get some attention from the crowds.
For me personally, I don't know that it can't be done. I'm kind of stupid that way, and I probably waste alot of time at it but I have fun pursuing the fanciful.
