Wuhan Coronavirus - COVID-19 Analysis & Summary - This is not just fucking pneumonia. It is everything but the kitchen sink. Lungs, heart, kidneys, liver, brain, blood vessels, testes. It affects them all.

Aw, but I liked it when he was mumbling into his cheerios about how rifles should have electric motors in them.

A small, high cycle life linear solenoid with an electronic controller to release the sear, mated to an electronic trigger. It allows you to have a bullpup rifle without needing a long transfer bar between the trigger and the sear. It would also work in tandem with the TrackingPoint scope’s electronic trigger release system. This means you could have a bullpup with an insanely crisp, clean trigger break, instead of the mushy trigger you usually get.

I understand if you don't want to get your patent sniped but please show us a diagram at least of how you would apply electromagnetism to achieve this effect

Simple. The trigger is a electrical switch that sends a signal to a controller chip, and then the chip commands a high-speed linear actuator to depress a lever that releases the sear and lets the hammer fly. It's basically the same as if you pushed it with your finger in a regular trigger mechanism, except it eliminates the transfer bar and replaces it with one of these, way in the back of the bullpup's action.


The chip also monitors a signal from the ballistic computer and decides precisely when to actuate the motor (i.e. right when the sights overlap the marked target).

inb4 a massive spergout that will make any physicist within a 20 block radius recoil in horror and clench their anus so much their balls invert and we accidentally invent true gender reassignment.

Maybe that's his plan all along? Create a Cringe Nexus so huge genders become switched. In which case, I suggest showing your nudes @Drain Todger .
 
Now how reliable is this electric action compared to various kinds of gas powered actions?

In a typical self-loading firearm, the trigger is reset by the movement of the bolt. The operating mechanism - direct impingement, gas-op, delayed blowback, blowback - it doesn't really matter. On an AR-15, for instance, as the bolt flies to the rear to extract the cartridge, it pushes the hammer back down and then the sear latches it in place. With this type of system, that part would be exactly the same.

Linear actuators can operate for up to 100 million cycles, no problem. The barrel and the rest of the action will wear out long before the linear actuator does.

Battery life is a concern, though. EMP, too. It needs to be hardened against that. You don't want your rifle to be knocked out by a nuke going off.
 
I would hate it if my rifle relied on eletrified hate instead of cartridges powered by powdered discontent

Heh, there's something for that, too. Ever hear of an electrothermal-chemical gun? Basically, it's a type of cartridge that replaces a conventional primer with a plasma igniter and a pulse-forming power supply.

No, I'm serious. That's something that actually exists.



The gunpowder in an ETC gun deflagrates so quickly, you get a quick and complete burn and a whole lot of pressure, which equates to more muzzle velocity.

Anyway, have I crossed the autism event horizon, yet?
