Build Your Own Gauss Pistol

Posted by michael on from the move-over,-paintball-gun dept.

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."

    I like the James Madison comment:
    The Constitution preserves "the advantage of being armed which Americans possess over the people of almost every other nation...(where) the governments are afraid to trust the people with arms." The Federalist #46.

    Look at where we are today:
    The US invades Iraq. Every Iraqi is armed, with a AK47/74 or even RPG-7. See the problems the US army has in controlling the country. Therefore, the civilians bearing arms works very well. See also the Swiss.

    Now let's look at the US today. Imagine that Iraq invades the US and manages to wipe its regular army. Then what? Bow down to the invader? Hell no, right? So you pick up a gun and get into a guerilla cell. But where can you get that damn gun? The government had convinced everyone that they weren't responsible enough to own guns....
