Bump!!

Buy This Rifle!

OOC: Thinking about it.

Secret IC:

The communist party of SRoR has need of the following for our assas...special operations squad:

1000 of these rifles: 3.4 million
1000 briefcase:1.7 million

total:4.4 million

OOC: Wouldn't an X-Ray proof case look weird on an X-Ray scanner (as nothing was coming through) and precipitate the opening of said suitcase to assertain the cause of such irregularities.

OOC: place it in another case and put random objects found in a briefcase

Confirmed SROR.

OOC: place it in another case and put random objects found in a briefcase

OOC: Making certain that it is totally covered by other objects on all sides, yes?

OOC: yes to be sure, although it would not really be needed as the other case would just appear as an empty place in the case


IC: money wired

An X Ray machine looks like this:

X-Ray Source------------Baggage----------Photographic Plate

=====(----------------[---------]--------------|
====(-----------------[---------]--------------|
===(------------------[---------]--------------|
====(-----------------[---------]--------------|
=====(----------------[---------]--------------|

Now, if you put something inside the suitcase that stops the X-Rays getting through (the .s are just there to make the pic work):

=====(----------------[--[.......]--]...................|
====(-----------------[--[.......]--]....................|
===(------------------[--[.......]--]....................|
====(-----------------[--[.......]--]....................|
=====(----------------[--[.......]--]....................|

Still nothing gets through. Airport security is very difficult to fool.

ooc: would it be possible, to make it somehow have the same properties as say flesh? (i.e: X-rays go right through?

ooc: would it be possible, to make it somehow have the same properties as say flesh? (i.e: X-rays go right through?
OOC: yes this is possible but making the briefcase in this method would reveal the contents of the case.Lead could be used to take in all the x-ray's but this would leave a blank space but if the weapon was in a briefcase covered with, we'll say lead wrapping paper it would appear that some of the case was empty

ooc: hmm... good point.

i should make it larger than necessary to stuff some clothes in as cover.

10,000 rifles.
$34,000,000
10,000 cases.
$17,000,000(double checked)

add zeros man.

ooc: SROR, you get the rifles for free for thinking that up.

OOC: ah thanks

We at the Xenizen Central Intelligence Agency are intrigued by this rifle. We are willing to pay USD$2,300,000 for 500 guns, with cases.

Confirmed.

Bumpo!

An empty, GUN SHAPED space in the case.

ooc: No, the gun will be broken down into component parts. Now purchase this gun.

bUmP!

OOC: Guns block out X-Rays anyway - that's how you detect them. However, it would be perfectly possible to put lead lined "paper" around the gun so it merely looked like a package. Still, they might open up the case anyway to see what's inside, but that's largely based on luck and how stringent the airport security protocol is at whatever airport you may land at. At a Praetonian airport it would definately be opened, but that's because I've been smallpoxed in the past.

ooc: The lining of the part that holds the gun is designed to look empty, not simply block out x-rays.

OOC: You mean let X-Rays pass right through? Uh... how?

((OOC: pardon the intrustion, but with the way X-ray machines work you would have to have an X-ray generator on the other side to suppliment the loss of radiation. otherwise you still have a big dark solid area.

What you COULD do however is create an X-ray clutter wall of varying densities that would be of denser matrial than the rifle components but allow enough radiation through so as to selectively 'bleed' the pattern of the clutter wall through. It would take a hell of alot of hours with an x-ray machine to work (you have to constantly make a change and check it so that it matches the false luggage ontop) but it would be alot harder to automatically see something is wrong with this picture, than say... a big white block.

Of course packign the rifle so it perfectly alligns with the clutter wall would be another pain))

ooc: i thought of that. I packed a secret radio opaque ingredient into the case and the rifle is disassembled and the parts placed around the radiopaque material. Thus the barrel could look like a candlestick for example.
