Gov't looks for "Gun Melting" super spray

Isn't DARPA the outfit that, regardless of what algore says, invented the Internet?

Why not something off the shelf?

Expanding spray foam insultaion would work pretty good- a little shot in the barrel and a little in the action and gun becomes completely useless unless a person spends the next week trying to remove the gunk.

+1 on the expanding foam. I got some on myself this morning. It maybe gone by next Friday if I am lucky!

The problem with anything that reacts with metal, etc. aggressively is that it is usually dangerous to work with and is difficult to store. My idea is a 2 part epoxy that you spray onto the equipment which makes it inoperable and is very hard to remove. eg. pc7. whadda think?

 

[Mooseman]

+1 cracked butt, your idea posted while I was thinking up mine.

 

[Zen21Tao]

Yes, I will take it a step further.....a Democrat dissolving spray...

I call dibs on this patent..... Lib-B-Gone or Libber-ate.

I got a way to melt guns, and faster ...



But nobwody bewieves me.

Taurus66: that's a little overkill and besides, there's too much collateral damage.

 

[Fire4Effect]

Why don't they get a civilian contractor over their, have them demill them, and then ship them to companies like Century. The whole process should pay for itself if done properly. Then AK prices should drop here in the States

This won't work since they would have to come in through Arab controlled ports...

 

[Telperion]

Doesn't the military have thermite grenades for this exact purpose?

 

[Manedwolf]

After all, this is the same group of government brainiacs that's working on remote control sharks.

And the Active Denial System. DARPA did that, too. That one's actually being deployed...despite the fact that it can be deflected by a sheet of any material covered with tinfoil to be behind, or a surplus microwave protective coverall.

(They just made the conspiracy nuts be right, this time...tinfoil WILL stop the government's rays!)

 

[lamazza]

Ya they better get rid of them and fast because we need room for all the shiney, expensive new guns that we are equipping them with.

 

[c_yeager]

I would imagine that packing them up into shipping crates and sending them over to the CMP to be fairly distributed never even occured to these guys.

 

[DBR]

I this were my problem, I would get a plastic lined dumpster, fill it with either salt water or calcium chloride solution (there are certainly more corrosive safe solutions) dump the weapons in and leave it in the sun for about a week. What would come out would be rusted solid mass.

 

[Fly320s]

Why are there so many pro-gunners on this board who want to see serviceable weapons destroyed?

Solution: Sell the weapons. Sell them to local Iraqis or to a local Iraq dealer. Or bring them to the U.S. and sell them here.

Just don't destroy the guns. They are just guns, not evil incarnate.

 

[joesixpack]

Couldn't we just send them to Rocky Mountain Arms and ask for them to get the Bear Coat treatment?

Sorry, someone had to say it.

 

[m14rick]

It has always upset me that an American has to jump through hoops to get a class 3 weapon, but the same weapons are available to whoever in third world nations. I don't agree with desroying weapons at all, but how about we send the infamous Captain Crunch over there, so he will leave our stuff alone? He made short work of our M14s, didn't he?

 

[Manedwolf]

I'd be in favor of taking them all, refinishing them, then taking them to nations where innocent populations are directly in the path of a sweeping genocide at the hands of a corrupt dictator...and hand out one AK and a case of 7.62 to each family. (A lot of Africa comes to mind).

See how fast that genocide comes to an abrupt halt.

 

[Byron Quick]

The description of DARPA in the article leads me to question the accuracy of anything the author writes. It shows both a lack of research and a lack of comprehension. Both deficiencies are common in today's journalists whether they work for liberal outfits or conservative outfits.

 

[Highland Ranger]

You're not allowed to mention bearcoat until you've had 100 posts . . .

 

[Ridge]

Guys this whole conversation scares me.

I thought we were against sending firearms to be melted down and shredded?

What are you saying,it's okay for only us to have firearms in order to protect our selves with,but everybody else should just look to us for protection???

Damn,talk about calling the kettle black on Nannystate loving anti's.

I'm not saying we should hand them back to the insurgents but leave them for Iraqi citizens ,make them go through the same bg checks we do,because the way this thread sounds you guys would love it for everybody else to be dis-armed.

And this is not the high road.

Things would be very different for you guys if the situation were reversed,you would be screaming bloody murder.

 

[cracked butt]

I think the point here is that the goobermint is going to spend a $billion trying to find a solution to a supposed problem that most people here could solve with $5.
I don't favor destroying perfectly good and usable tools, its wasteful, but I like goobermint wasting my money even less.

 

[Chrontius]

I've got three points -- the first, from D&D, is the classic line: "I loot the orc!" We could always use the equipment. Remember:

rules for gunfighting:
Bring a gun.
Bring two guns.
Bring all your friends with guns.
Have them bring their friends with guns.

We could use the equipment. Even if it wound up being expensive 'small penis' toys, the military isn't getting enough funding, and these are just what we need for a 'bake sale' to pay for armored humvees.

Also, we could save Darfur. Janjaweed with machetes < villagers with AKs

 

[offthepaper]

I say take the guns and ammo and distribute it to the resistence groups in Iran. ANY RESISTENCE GROUP!
Just to make things for the POS running that country a little more interesting for him from within. Give any rebel group enough fire power to go on the offensive on the Guard units. It sems as this could be done at a real bargin price too, if we're getting the guns and ammo free and already having it in close proximity to where it would need to be delivered.
Sounds better than spending big bucks to rust 'em up.
