Primers fired electrically?

are important.

This is not new, but a mature technology. Some Swat teams have the device where there are multiple snipers that hold a switch when their target is available. A central control box manned by a guy that makes the decision and when all targets are in the "green" he pushes a button and all sniper rifles fire at once. All tangos drop with no chance of retaliation. The radio controlled solenoids only trip the sear, not directly fire the cartridge.

reliability are important.

Or just use a small solenoid to trip the existing trigger or sear.

The methodology of the left has always been:

  1. Lie
  2. Repeat the lie as many times as possible
  3. Have as many people repeat the lie as often as possible
  4. Eventually, the uninformed believe the lie
  5. The lie will then be made into some form oflaw
  6. Then everyone must conform to the lie

Remington tried electrically triggered primers for a while. The Etronx system. No firing pin just a battery pack and contacts to the special primers. The system was reliable BUT VERY expensive (added like $1,500.00 to the price of the 700)

Didnt my message on the Etronx system make it through?

Yep! I saw it. Maybe he has you killfiled?

And I seem to remember another strange ignition system. No cartridge, just the bullet and the propellant. I think that it was ignited by a jet of compressed air. And I think that Daisy made it, but I forget the name.

Enjoy, DoN.

An interesting rifle..largely a failure..but it was a grand idea

One can still find them..though the ammo is getting harder to find..but there isnt much collector value

Most had a plastic stock..some high end versions of them had a wooden stock

Some other fun firearms that most folks have never seen but may have something from their makers

There was a write-up on such a weapon years ago in some gun magazine or perhaps one of the annual digests. I remember that the "loads" which consisted of the propellant and the bullet were triangular in cross section and were called "Trounds". I seem to remember that there had been a prototype made and tested. But never heard any more about it.

A startup attending CES was showing how their 'Precision Guided Firearms' w ould use customized, computerized scopes to assist with aiming. 'The Linux- powered scope produces a display that looks something like the heads-up dis play you'd see sitting in the cockpit of a fighter jet, showing the weapon' s compass orientation, cant, and incline. To shoot at something, you first "mark" it using a button near the trigger. Marking a target illuminates it with the tracking scope's built-in laser, and the target gains a pip in the scope's display. When a target is marked, the tracking scope takes into ac count the range of the target, the ambient temperature and humidity, the ag e of the barrel, and a whole boatload of other parameters. It quickly reori ents the display so the crosshairs in the center accurately show where the round will go.'"

How big of a battery do you want to carry for a three day, or longer patrol?

And for our side, only.

The systems would first be used to protect fixed buildings, where power was available. Then they'd figure several different solar ways to recharge it, but it isn't too light for manpack yet, either. Or you'd hear "Hey, that's my spotter's problem, not mine." Heck, they might even assign an additional spotter/humper for batteries and ammo to support a system like that.

Actually..they have a several hundred hour battery life in these models and are only used for long range shooting. Its not something one would put on an M4

Whats the battery life of a NOD? Yet you would want one..right?

What's the price for treason? Or is that merely dereliction of duty while on guard duty? It's not a light sentence, in any case. That kind of thing should be handled harshly and promptly.
