That's cold. But really funny.If you can out design Samual Colt, John Moses Browning or Gaston Glock you might have a shot. Otherwise, you're probably pissing up a rope.

My uncle used an old corn crib for his shop and pretty well built all the power tools himself. I'd mention the day he melted down my aluminum cookware to cast the faceplate of a lathe but that would be beside the point. He claimed when he was on contract his working question was how do I keep everything running, at his shop the working question was how do I make this better. Essentially he followed his curiosity which was all over the map!Mike, honestly I'd like to design anything that goes boom (And if you're looking for interns next summer/co-op, please say so!). I'll keep the USGOV in mind. I've seen some cool things that Rockwell Collins (CR, IA) gets to build...if only I liked electric engineering more.
Dprice, I appreciate the information.
Officer, I understand what you're saying but I have an inkling I will be different, and here's why. I currently have an internship already @ an engineering company, and I like what they do (but what they make is pretty boring, and I have a feeling it will get repetitive). As well, I understand what you mean by people who have experience are worth more. I know one guy who only has a 2-year degree in ME and one who has a 4-year degree in teaching, yet they are engineers. As well, it would be nice to start my own shop sometime and I do plan on doing it (Haas VF-4 here I come). My only issue with that is that I need something to solve first.
It seems that most here see no value in reinventing the wheel. The way I see it, I'm sure companies are looking ahead to find the next, best thing in the firearm world. Who knows what that will be? Electric pulse? Caseless ammo? I'm sure they are looking but have yet found it yet that is cheap enough to produce for the masses. It would seem that you'd have to be proficient in the computer design, CAD or whatever. Who knows who the next Browning or Colt may be?
Officers, you can always have shorter fingernails . As well, your uncle sounds like an interesting man to meet.
Slam fire, wouldn't rockets be more electric engineering and such because they need to be guided?
Mike, I see what you're saying but manufacturing engineering is not as appealing to me
Officers, si comprede. Gracias
What do you mean by run their own concern? Own their own business?And the guys that do like that path, usually do because they run their own concern and find that task even more rewarding than the production of the product
I see mike. For me personally, I'd take a job designing products not related to guns and enjoy the designing challenge over doing a different engineering discipline in the gun industry.
