Railgun + Dummies

Just when you think you're too jaded to bother writing anymore (is that even possible?)...



A man builds a hobby railgun. Cool, that seems pretty gnarly, I mean it's cool from a design stndpoint. It's cool from a he-actually-did-it standpoint and it's nice to know that people still have some drive and ingenuity and spend their time doing something other than trolling facebook or instagram or whatever shit it is that people do these days. Then the comments, remember that these are supposedly intelligent, tech savvy people:

"Guess who just made it on a Government list?"

"Prepare to get a few surprise visits and phone calls."

"Shocking! Unreal! The government hates him!"

For what? Building a monstrously large and heavy railgun that is in no way man portable, that has a $2400 to $40 000 set of capacitors that won't even shoot through a cell phone and pumpkin at 10 feet? Davy fucking Crocket was packing more firepower than this sophisticated monstrosity puts out. I am literally saying that a musket has more stopping power than this, it's also lighter, less complex, reloads faster and has a lower incidence of failure. To boot you can pick up a kit and build one yourself with no licenses required and they're relatively cheap!

Holy shit, the feds need to nab this guy!

Railgun: cool hobby, not a threat to anything.

So why then are supposedly intelligent people making overtures to the contrary? Because even people who are supposedly smart are in fact just well indoctrinated stupid people. You can watch the projectile penetrate about five or six inches of ballistics gel (an AK does almost 30!) meaning that yes it could be lethal but an eight inch butcher knife will do eight and leave a much larger hole, also a bow and arrow, crossbow, bayonet, atlatl, sharpened stick, pointed rebar or any number of items that NO ONE FUCKING CARES ABOUT. Hello people: logic?

Oh yeah, that's what Spock does right?

No it's what the only part of your brain that makes you human does, you troglodyte. Using this logic thing, it should stand to reason that if you don't use logic then you don't get to count as a human being. This means you are a second class subhuman to be used for slavery for the benefit of the actual humans. You get to choose, you do it all the time and this is level you have chosen to use to represent yourself.

Ugh...

The government hates him? What about the 3D printed guns guy? Or Gerard Metral? Good god people why are you so retarded?
