VSRMW's Available Now!!!

12-09-2003, 23:52
Very short range magnetic weaponry is now available!!! It's only effective at all within two feet of the subject, but it can easily stun or kill a person, SILENTLY!!! Think of the uses for sabetours... an absolutley silent weapon, no recoil, and can be deadly.

Pistol Form
Price: $250 USD
Ammunition: 12 Caliber Solid Titanium Bullets
Prices: 250 Bullets - $250 USD
500 Bullets - $500 USD
2500+ Bullets - $0.75 USD Per Bullet
Firing Requirements: 12v Battery

Ultra-Silent, Ultra-Stealth Pen Form
Price: $500 USD
Price: $250 USD
Ammunition: 6 Caliber Solid Titanium Bullets
Prices: 250 Bullets - $250 USD
500 Bullets - $500 USD
2500+ Bullets - $0.75 USD Per Bullet
Firing Requirements: Small Lithium Battery Intergrated Into Pen

The technology may be only a quarter of the way to completion, but I know for sure that I will be equipping all of my troops with the Pen form, to prevent POW situations. Also, may I note, that six bullets will fit in the pen form, and only one will fire from the barrel at a time. Enjoy!!!

ok i might be confused but 6 caliber is 6 inches isnt it. wouldnt a pen look strange if there was an opening 6 inchs big much less a pen that wide?
13-09-2003, 00:23
6 caliber isn't six inches wide!!! A handgun doesn't have a 12 inch wide opening!!!

The pistols, I want 3 million of them. (This is no crank request. They are ideal for our national defence plan.)

So, you're two days old and already starting to get gauss or railgun weapons?

Edit: Yeah, a caliber is an inch, thus, a .50 cal Desert Eagle chucks half an inch wide rounds.

Nadaskor, please wire me $750,000,000 USD, and I will ship.

Ben Land, I am not working on railgun weapons. I am not charging the bullet. It is simple magnetics at work to move a solid metal object. What do you find so confusing about that?

just think of this a .50 bmg round is considered a half inch round. if hit in the head the man has no head. .50 refers to .50 caliber so 6 caliber is about 6 inchs and 12 is a foot. calibers are the us standard of measuring but around the world is it millimeter. caliber=inches so those bullets are large.
Taken from a website- Americans tend to measure their bullets in thousandths of an inch (like magnums with .357). This confuses many newcomers since most people are not used to thinking of inches in this way

so you need to change that from caliber to mm i think.

No, a 12 caliber bullet would be twelve hundredths of an inch, not large at all. 6 caliber is easily suitable to fit in a pen.

1 caliber= 1 inch. .50 caliber =half an inch
6 caliber=6 inches.
.06 caliber= 6 hundreths of an inch.

I assume you mean .06 but thats an awfully Minute projectile...

and yes a Caliber is 1 inch split into approximately 1/10th of an inch incriments.

so 1 caliber would be 1 inch and 12 caliber would Be 12 inches...

usually when refering to projectile size unless reffering to naval Batteries you put a decimal infront of the number

so forty-five caliber (written out) is actually .45 caliber (numerical)

.12 caliber is alil less than half of a .22 which is a rather small bullet to begin with, and .06 caliber is just miniscule(sp?) I fail to see how a bullet that size could maintain a charge of significant power incapacitate let alone kill someone. and yes magnitically propelled objects do recoil(for every action there is an equal but opposite reaction), its just very small in comparison to haveing an explosion propel the object foreward.

Neither rail nor gauss guns charge the bullet, they use 'simple magnetics'. And a caliber IS an inch.

Oh, thank you for the correction. I meant .12 Caliber and .6 Caliber. I really don't see how there is a recoil though... because the gun tube is filled with holes, to let and expanding air escape immediatly. I know there would be a miniscule amount of recoil, but not enough to notice. Aite, gotta go.

the ar doesn't make the recoil. it's the force acting upon the projectile. if you fire a pistol, your hand jumps with the shot, because the exploding propellant is pushing just as hard on the gun as it is on the bullet. but the bullet weighs a lot less than the gun and the wielder, so the bullet ends up doing all the moving.

and you couldn't kill somebody with a .06 cal bullet. that's like shooting them with a needle.
