Build Your Own Gauss Pistol

BdosError writes "A Russion software developer has developed a homemade Gauss pistol. It's not very powerful yet, but as a proof of concept, it's interesting. Nice, non-chemical slugthrower that should appeal to fans of Science Fiction and related games, like Traveller and many others."

Today must be 'dangerous projects' day on slashdot.

I didn't see any expense information on his site. I wonder how much it costs to build one of those.

I wish all you gun-toting fucktards would just go create your own nation,

We did. Who the hell let you in here?

Just
a note, in junior high, a vice principle tried to break up a fight. He got
tossed out of a second floor window for his trouble.

Makes me glad to be Canadian. You see, it's very difficult to built igloos more than one storey high, so most schools only have the one floor.

People do illegal things. Therefore, laws are ineffective. Therefore, we should get rid of all the laws (except the 2nd Amendment) and just carry a DEagle 5-0. Anyone who thinks differently is a whack-job.

"Columbine". Your turn.

I'll raise your "Columbine" and give you a "Nazi" - and a misspelling - "Loser".

So... what does it do, blur your target out?

[Qzukk]

Sort of a new meaning to rubbing someone out ;)

Slashterrorist?

[eric434]

Lots of dangerous DIY type sites, two in a row in fact...

Note to self: Call off team planning to burglarize Slashdot Headquarters.

Thank you Slashdot!

Now I have all I need to build my own NUCLEAR POWERED GAUSS CANNON!

Pls post more info on how to refine radioactive materials...oh, wait, you've already got my back.

Slashdot...news for terrorists. Stuff that works.

Do you feel lucky punk?

Uh-huh. I know what you're thinking. Does he have six AA batteries or only five AA batteries in that thing?

Re:No sound!

[josh crawley]

Um, yes, but if the bullet is going faster than the speed of sound, then the fuckers head will already be exploded by the time he hears it!!

the origin of the Gauss Pistol

[kurosawdust]

Oh wait, wait, I know this story, a math prof of mine told me in class once...Gauss's elementary school teacher wanted to keep his class busy so he told them to sit at their desks and sum the integers from 1 to 100 so Gauss got pissed off and shot him! ...right?...why is everyone staring at me like that?

Re:Airports

[Hanzie]

Will the airport security start taking away your magnets, and wires?

Do you seriously think you could sneak one of those on a plane? did you see the pictures? It would be confiscated on sight, while you were arrested. If you tried to hide it in your luggage, it would look to the x-ray tech like you were trying to disguise a bomb as a gun.

Yes, airport security will take away your magnets, wires, batteries and pointy slugs. And you too.

Thinking of a pun (rhymes with gun... hrmm...)
