Trannies, commies, tranny commies, and autists.
I left the community last year but I doubt it has changed too much.
It's implied, there's no way you're pulling on the programming socks and giving your rent money to Bernie without being somewhere on the spectrum.
The best part is how shit their videos are. They can't even enforce any kind of cinematography standards so you see vertical phone footage mixed with 16:9 ratio footage.
I want to say mythbusters tried playing around with magnets to see if they could get bullets to move. And they didn't move at all. I seem to recall the issue was the amount of force needed to be exerted to actually alter the bullet's flight path couldn't be provided fast enough by a magnet even exceptionally strong ones.
That's exactly how derwood described it. According to his own retelling of the events, he noticed that freshly printed receivers had more friction, but it eventually smoothed out with wear. He wanted something that would keep the friction up. On the comments section Mr Snow (another 3d printing gun tuber) did say that lubrication had an effect on the cycling so that confirms it's all friction based.
The only bullet they got to deflect due to the 5 feet of rare earth magnets was 45AARP which probably wasn't due to the magnets and more to do with the rainbow-like trajectory of the cartridge. All this magnet bullshit is reminding me of the Blish Lock in early Thompsons: in theory it'd probably work but in real life it's actually retarded.
Sounds to me like Mr. Derwood doesn't understand the concept of parts wearing in and didn't design his bolt and receiver with that in mind.
Almost exactly the same problems. There's a thread, even!
The weird thing is that he could have designed a replaceable plastic wear pad and make it spring loaded to compensate for wear, then just replace it when it gets too thin. But "fucking magnets - how do they work", right?
These idiots can barely wrap their heads around the concept of ammunition being a consumable item, the idea of a part wearing down and needing to be replaced is beyond them.
They never seem to realize that in a total gun control environment you can’t buy ammunition at the store. There is zero focus on how to manufacture cases or smokeless powder at home. The FGC-9 is pretty useless if you can’t make any ammunition for it.
The only reason I can think of not going that route, is that worn pad/brake material would migrate and/or inhibit proper function.
Some of the guncad guys are bragging about making gunpowder. It's also fairly easy to do. There are ammo making guides by the SAME GUYS who did the FGC9, they require stealing powder from rivet gun blanks, but they seem to work as they're what JStark was using.
Derwood and AWCY are responsible for approximately 95% of all drama in the community.
There isn't zero focus. The issue is that a guide on manufacturing smokeless has to be significantly more retard proof than a guide on printing non-pressure-bearing parts, and if they spill the beans on the easiest sources of precursors around the world they can ruin it all for everyone. When it came to the "what about ammo" project they released a bill of materials and gave people a few months to buy the components before publicly releasing the guide, so that countries couldn't respond with legislation. I don't actually know if Euroland reacted to the use of nailgun blanks to scavenge primer and powder, but they changed how a lot of chemicals could be obtained after the ISIS thread in the 2010s.
Not to go "no true scotsman" but reply guys on twitter aren't really the creator community. Always apply the Pareto principle, 80% of the people involved don't do anything. Out of those that do something, 80% don't put in "real work". Before Jstark there were people printing weird pepperbox style revolvers in gun control heavy countries so that conversation was ended years ago, what Jstark did was go public and go loud with a design that was more reliable than previous work. Hell, I'd say gun control was defeated by Philip A. Luty, the issue is that society started to pretend that holding a drill or a saw is an arcane skill so they had to have the keys dangled in front of them with the "3d printer" buzzword.
More like the recent crackdown on 80% build kits. They're not going after printed stuff at all.
