$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('smallpoxgirl', ' ')That's going to take one heck of a big alternator! Not to mention how much a 30 megawatt electric motor weighs. And the fact that the HumVee engine now has to be 40,000 horsepower just to turn the alternator. Ohh and it's using 11 pounds of ammo a second!


Tut, tut. That sounds like a milspec HumVee II, as designed by a committee. In other words, perfectly reasonable. :lol:

So it seems I shall have to be content with my present hardware... 8)

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('smallpoxgirl', '')$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Specop_007', 'I')ts essentially a centrifugal gun. I had seen designs to make a BB gun like this. Wasnt much, something like 30-60 fps or some such.


That I have no problem with. There's two big questions in my mind. 1: Ok....so the BB's come slinging out of the impeller. How accurately can you aim them? I'm betting not very.

The problem is, of course, that not only is economics bankrupt, but it has always been nothing more than politics in disguise... economics is a form of brain damage.
