General GunTuber thread

[Corn Flakes]

I'm sorry to spoil your scifi fanfiction. Clearly coil guns will be regulated as fully automated assault machine guns in our lifetime because gun unfriendly states are unfriendly to airguns too.

If we're going to speculate about future regulation I'm more excited to see how 3D printed guns develop. You can 3D print coilguns already if you really want to stick with that.

Scifi fanfiction? Really? How's the weather like up your own ass?

I'm saying that coilguns will get regulated like guns the moment they start becoming popular or they draw the attention of the political class. That's if they don't get regulated even harder because they don't have the cultural inertia behind them that firearms do.

This has nothing to do with power or practicality compared to real firearms. Right now they're classed as airguns because nothing has caused anyone to kick up enough of a fuss about them to change legislation. Not coincidentally, 3D-printed guns are already a step or two ahead in that process since there has been the initial media blitz vilifying them, and there are ongoing crackdowns since they're considered "ghost guns". If the coof hadn't drawn soo much attention these past two years, you can bet there would be a lot more legislation flying around to try and curtail 3D-printing guns.

For the record, I don't think man-portable magnetically accelerated weapons will ever become practical enough to displace or even compete against conventional firearms in general use. The difference in potential power between capacitors and smokeless propellants is too pronounced, simply because the reaction in the propellant doesn't need to be reversible.

Brandon "Jumpcut" Herrera made a review of the Luty as it was intended. There's just something nostalgic about seeing a tubegun being run outside of a sterile environment.
It does bother me, though, whenever someone casually flexes their SOT with a piece of pipe like this. Yes! You, too, could make this absolute piece of shit if you start a business and pretend to make things for military or law enforcement!

I don't think that's the intended take, though. The point of the Luty isn't that you can make one if you get a SOT and all that shit. The point is that the Luty is meant to be built when shit is getting... less than legal.

That sheet metal piece of shit was designed for people who don't have access to guns but really need some firepower and don't give a shit about the law (or the law broke down). Which is why the Luty was designed in the UK. Here in America someone who's really planning for a situation like that and has the sort of equipment that would allow them to build them a Luty could just scratch-build an auto sear for their AR-15 or drill a third hole for a lot less effort. All that in Minecraft, of course.

Over here the Luty is a curio. In Europe it's a political statement.

Ian has decided to do a Full30 Part Deux - those that cannot remember, Full30 originated as a paywalled service for gun videos that were far more in-depth than YouTube was comfortable with, even at the time. Currently Full30 is dying a slow and painful death, filled with biblethumpers and benchshooting.
Utreon, while it does have a paywall, offers an alternative in that you are allowed to watch these videos if you sign up for an account and expose yourself to advertisements.

Not the intended take at all, no, but a side-effect by posting a video with a legally registered tubegun. It's a personal gripe since this shit, in a more ideal world, would not otherwise be regulated whereas today the right person can flaunt it openly and the average Joe can't even willfully register one.

Airguns capable of killing have been a thing since Napoleon. Nobody will really care unless they are somehow as good as powder guns. And at that point the wrong politicians will try to ban them because they're real guns at that point.

The Caselman isn't well known but that thing is close to .32 ACP in power. Doesn't sound like much but to someone in nogunz land that's certainly worth considering.

I remember some autistic German trying to build one and go on a Tarrant style livestreamed rampage with it while proving the utility of improvised weaponry and it was a total piece of shit incapable of doing much more than killing one person with almost suicidal levels of self-awareness. It was probably more down to his incompetence more than anything but while I appreciate the sentiment behind the Luty I think that particular example at least ended up being more useful as a gungrabber argument than anything (imagine if Krautland didn't have sensible gun control laws and he could easily buy an AR-16 weapon of war!) unfortunately.

IIRC said krauts troubles were down to him using improvised ammunition made from matches rather than anything fundamental to the Luty design. However, these days JStark is the new Philip Luty, there's an awful lot of FGC9s turning up in the hands of rebels in Burma, amongst other places.

Gungrabbers will always turn anything into an argument for grabbing guns, that's just what they do. On the other hand, Europe (mostly France) has given us plenty of examples of a weapon that surpasses any gun when it comes to random mass violence:

Someone carrying one of these is fully qualified to plow a rented pickup truck into any busy crowd they want, no need for guns.

Damn this is like a Luty but compressed gas powered. Very cool.

He used a 1857 smith carbine, Luty and a slamfire shotgun. it jammed on him because he made his own smokeless powder which was very corrosive and dirty, or atleast that is what he said on stream.

As I recall, he did successfully hose one bystander who did not take him seriously. Like she literally just walked past him and he emptied into her back.

That is the most hipster reproduction you can possibly get. Even Skallagrim had/has one.

they are good guns. i like them and they are quick firing.

Was wondering if you guys could answer a question that has been bugging me: who is the blonde mustachioed sidekick in this Blue Jean Operator video?

 

[LilShotaBoy]

Speaking of UTreon, is anyone else unable to make an account? It just gives me a generic error message when I try.

Ian got his hands on a fucking gauss rifle lmao

Any chance Ian had of doing anything in Russia is gone. He will never get into museums over there. He will never interview anyone from there.

Gah, that's one of the books I really want to read, too. I pray he can salvage this somehow

At the moment it looks like scaling gauss cannon down to realistic/usable dimensions, sacrifices a lot of performance. The Arcflash anvil weighs 20lbs.

In spite of being far lower powered, it looks a lot more fun than the heavy piece of shit Ian just took a look at. Looks sleeker overall.

The Caselman isn't well known but that thing is close to .32 ACP in power.

Always figured that the design of that thing could be improved by putting the tube on the side of the gun, and turning it into a bullpup so you wouldn't have so much barrel out front.

Das Ubermensch did a lot of things wrong, and his loadout was awkward even for being Lutys and slambangs, the magazines were 3D printed, and the gunpowder he made was like, if not a mixture of potassium chlorate, something similar which burns dirty as fuck and thus completely unsuitable for automatic anything. Might even have lacked extractors, and he hadn't tested any of it in advance.
There's a thread about it onna farms.

Hipster? I think you mean boomer.
But it works quite well for what it is. It's a remarkably good gun for being built to use rubber cartridges. Fast to reload for the 1860s, good enough power, and when firing with rubber cartridge cases it would obturate very well, the cases also being reusable a few times.
Also one of those guns which could then transition towards brass casings once that became the new standard, and if you didn't have the rubber cartridges available, you could roll your own paper cartridges which would still work pretty nicely (even if they don't obturate), so it's remarkably versatile for its time.

Modern plastics can also be used, and given the efforts I've seen by dudes on /k/ I'm convinced you could print a flexible polymer cartridge case which holds the proper 50 grains of blackpowder while obturating properly.
Historically, it's a really good carbine, and just practically it's better than an extractorless Luty constantly choking on filthy handloads.

Highlights include
-Robert the Faggot and Karl the Cuck calling dressing as a Rhodesian gross.
-One of Roberts faggot co-hosts with an annoying voice complaining about “antifa shooting“ videos
-Robert the Faggot complains that the Youtube Algorithm leads viewers who watch gun content to conservative political content and about “Radicalization“
-Karl utters the words “Evangelical American Taliban“
