Yep. Problem with the GyroJet was that if you just stuck your finger in the barrel, it went nowhere. And it cost beaucoup bucks to blast away, even in the 60s. The old ammo, aside from being literally irreplaceable, is also....old. Time, humidity, and heat are not friends of chemical mixtures. Great idea. Sucky execution. And now I wonder, could a sugar rocket replace the old cartridges? Hmmmm.

#7, a jet pistol ! haven't seen anything like that since the 1960's. my buddy's uncle had one of them. shells cost big bucks as I recall. I think it was called "gyro jet" or something close to that. weird as it had a row of holes along the "barrel" like. I think it used a a battery to "fire" it. I not sure as it was a long time ago now. like 67 or 68 but I do remember the weird 3 jets of flame coming out of the "bullet" thing as it went downrange. only got to "shoot "it one time. dave in pa.
Gyro jets are semi auto. The hammer strikes the nose of the projectile, driving it toward the rear into the firing pin. As the projectile takes off it pushes the hammer back into the cocked position. From what I understand, they can be fired under water.
Regular cartridge guns can also be fired in space. You just have to deal with that pesky recoil thing. Of course using recoilless rifles solves that problem.
Largest gun fired in space? 23mm fired by the Soviets. They had a gun attached to one of their manned surveillance stations (we silly westerners had better cameras and electronics so we just used unmanned satellites, of which the leftover non-flown one was turned into the Hubble Space Telescope (true story.))
#6: I had a German Shorthair that would do this while chasing a superball down the hardwood stairs in my house. She could clear those stairs in about two seconds! It was like a zipline to her! 'Someone wanna tell me why there's a TV on the floor at the bottom of those stairs?...
10. A lot of sports would benefit from being made more interesting. I wonder if his bicycle followd him 4. Only milk jug he's going to be touching for a while.

Whole lotta dick moves in these clips. I thought #4 was bad enough (it is) but #10 really raises the bar. Sweet karmic result, though. J'approuve.

DeleteCan also be fired in space & not very accurate past 25 yards or so.
DeleteAmmo used solid rocket fuel = expensive
used in a vintage James Bond film

Just a side thought on #6. If you notice there is a chair/stair rail on the side, maybe the dog is showing empathy for a handicap person?
ReplyDeletedaddy-o
Bicycle should have followed him after being folded in half
