Welcome to /v/guns! This is the home of firearms enthusiasts on Voat. If you're into things that go boom, this is the place for you!
RELATED SUBVERSES
The posting rules are below. Violations of any of these rules will result in post removal. Repeated, systematic violations by one user will result in a ban if all of the moderators agree that it's needed. If you see violations of rules 3 or 4 occurring, don't hesitate to mail a screenshot of the activity to the moderation team.
Moderators are held to a higher standard on this subverse and the rules that they must follow are also posted below. If a moderator is acting against the moderator rules, take a screenshot and message it to the head moderator, @Thjoth. Repeated violations will result in their removal from the mod team.
SUBSCRIBER RULES:
-
All content MUST be related directly to firearms. For our purposes, a firearm is defined as a device that uses rapidly expanding gases to launch a projectile. Size doesn't matter, so this includes everything from your .22 to a naval cannon.
-
No memes, image macros, or reaction gifs are allowed.
-
Violation of the global user agreement will not be tolerated.
-
Repeated personal attacks upon or harassment of a user across different unrelated threads will not be tolerated.
-
No spam. If you want to promote your personal site, blog, or company, then make sure you participate EXTENSIVELY in other posts as part of this community. The account of the Tennessee Arms Company on Reddit is a good example of commercial members of the industry participating in a community in a way that betters both the community and the company.
-
All politics posts must go into the stickied politics megathread, which is refreshed on the 1st of every month. If something big is happening (eg. the M855 ban), the moderators will create a specific megathread for that event at their discretion.
MODERATOR RULES:
-
Moderators will follow all normal rules.
-
When removing a post or comment, moderators will copy and paste the rule violation that led to the removal in a reply.
-
Moderators will not take any action whatsoever if a rule from the sidebar is not violated.
-
Bans must be discussed among moderators. A single moderator cannot ban someone without talking to the other moderators.
-
Moderators will maintain active accounts. Inactive moderators who haven't posted or spoken with another moderator in 30 days will be removed.
-
Moderators will not personally attack, harass, or otherwise be complete dicks to members, either during normal conversation or while carrying out their duties.

That was a little lack luster. Thanks for the find!

Barrels. They're kind of important to the whole operation.

Can we please meme this right away? I would like very much to convince people to do this as a show of solidarity.
[–] Womb_Raider 0 points 3 points 3 points (+3|-0) ago
No. Don't ever advocate for the destruction of perfectly good ammo, you fool. If anything, they want to meme this against us.

Anyone dumb enough to follow through with this idea has earned whatever reward heads their way. This is the equivalent of convincing someone to cut their own balls off. I feel like we really haven't lost anyone important. I'd prefer a well trained militia over whoever happens to show up armed.

It's compression force+time that makes a bullet go fast. For whatever reason people think bullets have rocket packs on their back or something.

People watch too much tv and movies

I wouldn't imagine it would project the round, but I would think it would be more than simple "pop". An entire box of ammo, igniting at the same time, should at least damage the microwave pretty badly, would it not?
While writing this, I decided to look it up. Seems like the brass casing can cause some decent damage to eyes/etc, but generally speaking, an unchambered round won't do too much.

Would it not explode the brass?
[–] fusir 0 points 1 point 1 point (+1|-0) ago (edited ago)
Brass is so maliable more often than not the brass stays as one piece with just a split in it. The escaping gas accelerates the casing to maybe throwing speeds, or less.

Rip microwave for sure...

Keep your eye on it, make sure it is destroyed.

Member the microwave iPhone charging meme? Good times
