#05:21 If there was a new powder twice as powerful, I'd just halve the amount of powder and make the cartridges smaller.

@joshuamasterson7677 3 года назад

5.7 sized m193 would be very nice

@88porpoise 3 года назад

It isn’t necessarily that simple. You have to consider the pressure curve as well. Half the charge of twice as powerful of a powder could end up blowing the gun apart if the pressure curve was wrong. Or with semi-automatic and automatic firearms you could see some opening the action way to fast or not getting enough pressure to cycle. Definitely an option to look at, and my instinctive answer to that question is reduced cartridge sizes, but not as simple as “just halve the charge”.

@UnDeaDCyBorg 3 года назад

@@88porpoise Sure, it's not as simple, but gun makers have sat before this problem repeatedly since early black powder, I'm sure they'll manage. I would worry about polymer casings, though. A smaller case would certainly have to have thicker walls, limiting the weight reduction.

@wefyb2 Год назад

Much more energy dense materials exist than nitrocellulose already. People have tried this. It makes guns blow up. You end up needing to thicken case walls, have much more robust primer retention with a longer flash hole, and a more robust locking system. Between these things you end up with minorly smaller cartridges with similar power, far more weight in the action and barrel, and a large increase in cost. The real reason that we keep using nitrocellulose is simple: cellulose doesn't just grow on trees, trees grow on cellulose. It is insanely easy to make in massive quantities, it is safe to handle and prepare, and is highly stable over time, alongside the fact that it burns rather than detonating. Raw power is a tiny factor in propellants in any industry. Cost per kJ of energy on cellulose is cheaper than bread, literally.

@charlesadams1721 3 года назад

The Pittman-Robinson Act (and the Dingell-Johnson Act) are that is the tax Ian mentioned is not just for firearms, but for firearms-related accessories and for anything with the (D-J Act) angling related. So from buying a handgun to fishing reel, to a box of bullets, to a package of fish hooks, there is a 10% or 11% surtax that was paid by the manufacturer or importer of these fishing-hunting related goods. This surtax is the primary reason that the US has at its disposal the huge amounts of money for conversation projects. Supposedly, the initial legislation excluded National Parks, but in some cases, those restrictions have been subverted. With both acts, most of the money is apportioned to the states on a 25% State and 75% Federal monies. So, if you look in many states east of the Rockies, most of the public lands are what are state lands bought with Act funds. Also, the Department of the Interior controls these funds, and the IRS doesn't really have anything to do with it.

re: footnotes, I found an old copy of The Divine Comedy, and besides the text being incredibly difficult to parse due to the translation trying to preserve the meter, nearly every page had a handful of references at the back of the book _that weren't noted in the main body;_ you had to flip to the back and _hope_ that thing you're wondering about is explained. Also my edition of Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire can have footnotes that are larger than the text on the page, and sometimes spill over onto the next page.

@GunFunZS 3 года назад

There's a very good book called Jonathan strange and Mr Norrel, by Susanna Clarke. It is I guess you could say historical fantasy set during the regency period. and it's exceptionally well written and that it matches the tone of other things written at the time without inserting the ideas and values of the modern person into that era. The main text the book is very dry, and assumes that the reader was aware of most of the circumstances as they would be common knowledge. Most of the story and tone is actually advanced through the big footnotes. It's very artful. I feel like Toljein maybe you wanted to do that but didn't quite pull it off. Clarke perfected it. And then she wrote a related book set in the same world so to speak written as a modern literary anthology with each chapter being completely totally different and feeling completely like it was written by a different author. I can't think of any other author who could pull that off, and have it still be something that is interesting and enjoyable to read.

@tangero3462 3 года назад

In the case of repro firearms, I think a lot of folks fail to realize just how much these things cost new. Most old military arms were exorbitantly expensive to produce and were often made to lavish standards. It really wasn't until the French adoption of the Ruby that mass-manufactured cost-effective weapons really got credence, and even then, it really didn't take off until mass production of weapons, especially submachine guns, in the second war. We are spoiled today by how much technology has brought down manufacturing costs

@williestyle35 3 года назад

Good point (:

@Broken_Yugo 3 года назад

The shift toward labor being expensive and materials being cheap also doesn't help. Those old WW2 on back guns were/are more or less hand built by today's standards and not all of it translates well to CNC. I'd guess this is why all the cheap 1911s are imported. Or more to the original question how most of those Italian repro guns are considered to be some finishing required kits by people who know them well. They could fit the barrel to the frame properly on the Colt percussion revolvers as Colt did 150+ years ago but you'd pay for it.

Y'all thinking about this all wrong. It's not going to be a "more powerful" propellant. We can already make smokeless powders as dense and higher pressures. We just currently at the limit of mass x= velocity that not only currently available materials are able to handle, but our own body and structure itself. The next type of projectile weapon will have be something thats a vast improvement over every thing about current ammo. Including lower recoil, possible lower noise, lower flash, eta. Or the next "main small-arm" of future humans might not even BE a projectile weapon per-se. but sort of a "phaser" pistol.....

It's being replaced by the HK 417 (M110a1) tho, it was too big and heavy for a DMR. Snipers also started switching to the M2010, in .300 Win Mag, very shortly after the M110 entered service. Pretty silly in retrospect to try to give the snipers and marksmen the same gun. Whole post-9/11 sniper and marksman's rifle procurement program was pretty silly tbh. Should have just adopted the AI Arctic Warfare Magnum in 2005 or so, coupled with a less specialized AR-10 DMR.

@aqui1ifer 3 года назад

H. E. I’d totally agree; given the normal troops still have M16s & M4s, an AR-10/SR-25 for the DMR is perfectly sensible.

On the magic powder question: Cut the brass in half, thus the receiver, magazine size, etc. in half. Total gun weight would come down by about a quarter or a even a third, and either lighten your ammo load or carry approximately a half again more (mag size would still be there, and while the *brass* would be a little less than half as heavy and of course powder), the bullet weight, etc. is still there.

That water lily cocktail sounds amazing, I’m going to have to give it a try tonight. I picked up some creme de violette for making an aviation cocktail and it’s lovely stuff, but at maybe half an ounce to two ounces of gin, it’s going to last a while. I’m sure I’m not providing anything revolutionary here, but if you haven’t seen it, you should really check out How To Drink’s episode on the gimlet. The homemade lime cordial is pretty trivial to make and just as he describes it, it’s liquid air conditioning. Definitely a bit of a lackluster drink with the off the shelf Rose’s stuff, though; it’s absolutely worth the barely five minutes of labor to make it yourself.

What's neat is that the writers thought to include that they would quickly ruin a gun unsuited for this type of cartridge, even if rule of cool probably took over realism here. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-cpqdYt9hw2g.html

@cnlbenmc 3 года назад

I agree both with the assessment and the Ghost in the Shell reference. Though a modern gun (Or at least a semi-modern gun like the Uzi) would be far better at standing up to something like HV ammo than a black powder gun using smokeless powder ammo. Edit; I checked your link and found that I apparently watched it already and even commented on it too!

Two gin cocktail notes. First, you can freeze champagne. Especially if you mix it with simple syrup and lemon juice and stir it with a fork so it becomes a slush. It apparently keeps for about a month. Then you add it to the gin and delight ensues. Second, try one part gin, one part lime juice, two parts grapefruit soda (my local grocery has a store brand Italian soda - it's a little tart, so try not to use something too sweet). Tis a cocktail of my invention, and is lovely.

Looking forward to a video on Pittman Robertson, I am surprised how many gun owners don't know about it. If more did I have a feeling state game and fish departments would be getting a lot more pressure to build public ranges with the money. The money spend on habitat and parks is great, but being that so many people that are paying the tax are just shooters, diverting a little bit more of it to satisfy the shooting community would probably be fair. Especially for some folks on the east coast that can't use public land for shooting.

Lionsgate Films (Who are behind Summit Entertainment) is so far as I am aware of, pretty clean of any controversies. So too is Thunderroad Pictures, the two primary production companies bankrolling the John Wick franchise. Keanu Reeves is so far, the immaculate man, who has no dirt on him as far as anyone can find, and I'm pretty sure people have looked. Hard. McShane does appear to have issues with pronouns and the modern climate of identity.

@duncanwilson2262 3 года назад

I agree it would be very cool to see Ian in a John Wick movie. However, instead of being an armourer would it not make more sense if John needed to consult him on some obscure bullet or firearm. The films keep introducing more lore on the High Table and it is all done with historical themes ( thinking of the original gold coins or the way that favours are recorded ). So Ian could almost cameo as himself, giving a 30 sec lecture on the history of an obscure High Table item that lets John find his next target. More awkward to write into the script, I grant you, but would be incredible if it happened.

@benstoyles1297 3 года назад

On the 5:30 propellant question, I think that would ultimately end up with the development of cartridges with the same power levels we have now, just in a much smaller cartridge size, e.g. 5.56mm but the case is the size of a .22lr case, or 6.5 CM in a .30 carbine size case. The individual weapon reduces to being MP5/MPX sized (but with a carbine/rifle length barrel) and the ammo load either reduces in weight, or you can carry significantly more ammo on the same amount of real estate.

@benstoyles1297 3 года назад

The problem is the weight of the gun goes up to hold the increase in forces and pressures so the end result would probably be a wash on weight.
