BingoBoingo USia's hotness this past decade has been taking M-14's and converting to "designated marksmen rifles" [00:00]
BingoBoingo M-14's original service life of course having been... lacking [00:00]

asciilifeform BingoBoingo: correct if i've my dod-speak mixed up, but 'designated marksman' is not a sniper - he engages only within visual contact distance [00:00]
asciilifeform (naked eye) [00:01]
BingoBoingo asciilifeform: Yes. His range extends to visual past what assualt rifle can not reliably hit fatally, but still visual [00:01]
asciilifeform the term, iirc, refers to the one man in a platoon who was actually taught any marksmanship and is expected to aim [00:01]
asciilifeform the rest 'hosedown' [00:01]
BingoBoingo asciilifeform: Russian equivalent for role is Dragunov [00:01]
BingoBoingo tool, not person [00:02]
asciilifeform by some accounts, ^ has a barrel resource of 800 (!) rounds [00:02]
asciilifeform enlarged ak-like thing that takes mosin rounds [00:03]
BingoBoingo Basic requirements for such tool are full power rifle round and semi auto action [00:03]

BingoBoingo In contemporary USian deployments designated marksmen carries M-14 with a plastic stock and has specialization like the machine gunner [00:05]
BingoBoingo Mosin's great virtue for USian civilian is that it costs roughly 1/10th anything equivalent from domestic manufacterer [00:10]
asciilifeform does any u.s. arms co. even offer anything without plastic, aluminum, or worse ? [00:11]
asciilifeform as in, anywhere in the thing [00:11]
BingoBoingo asciilifeform: Sure for 4 digit numer of USD [00:11]
asciilifeform probably 5 [00:11]
asciilifeform (iirc all the m-whatever things are Al but for the barrel) [00:12]

mircea_popescu tbh, that is the only logical end game : US of Best Korea, where everything is banned not because they can't afford anything, but for Ideological Reasons. Honest. [00:47]

asciilifeform BingoBoingo, ben_vulpes: incidentally, bullet would be a perfect 'killer app' for electrolytic machining. low mass, touchy geometry [00:48]
mircea_popescu this is a good point. [00:49]
mircea_popescu also perfectly metallic. [00:49]
asciilifeform aha [00:49]
mircea_popescu yeah, this is happening. [00:49]
asciilifeform ditto shell [00:49]
mircea_popescu yup [00:49]
BingoBoingo asciilifeform: Only if electrolytic machining apparatus is refined. Otherwise plastermolds [00:49]
mircea_popescu mebbe electrolytic finishing. [00:49]
mircea_popescu have them machined grossly then electrofined. [00:49]
asciilifeform BingoBoingo: this needs only the most trivial form of electrolytic machining - with ready-made cavity [00:50]
Vexual build the spin in [00:50]
asciilifeform mircea_popescu: have them machined grossly then electrofined << nonono - whole point is to make'em in a cup in kitchen, jungle conditions [00:51]
mircea_popescu does this cup mine copper ? [00:51]
asciilifeform the concept is meant to address an earlier thread - 'pashtun can make ak but rounds are still from izhevsk' [00:51]

asciilifeform in one form or another [00:52]

asciilifeform briefly back to the bullet thread: the most interesting thing about the suggested method is that any material can be used, so long as it conducts and behaves reasonably well as aqueous ion [00:55]
asciilifeform even, e.g., tungsten [00:55]
asciilifeform whatever's at hand [00:55]
mircea_popescu depleted uranium! [00:55]
mircea_popescu best fucking bullets, srsly. no one lives. [00:56]

asciilifeform to round off the electrobullet thread, i made this gedankenexperiment up for this just to show what folks like wilson -would- be doing if they were serious [01:04]
asciilifeform because much simpler even than what they do [01:04]
asciilifeform no need for computer, even. [01:04]
asciilifeform '3d printer', for those unfamiliar, is a very costly item. i don't even keep one here, can't justify [01:05]
decimation re: wilson < it strikes me that he's just trying to get publicity [01:05]
asciilifeform the ultimate publicity is when your shit - works [01:05]
decimation he recently posted that fedex banned shipping his 3d milling machines [01:05]
decimation obviously, he's selling them as 'death in a box' [01:06]
decimation instead of '3d milling machine' [01:06]
asciilifeform fedex is, afaik, free to boycott whoever [01:06]
asciilifeform it isn't the national post [01:06]
decimation sure. and whoever is free to make a press release about it [01:06]
decimation so I don't think he's serious. although the idea of milling your own 'm-4gery' out of an '80%' receiver is a neat one [01:07]
asciilifeform decimation: it's sop among u.s. small arms aficionados [01:07]
* assbot removes voice from Liberza [01:07]
asciilifeform decimation: they have this ancient law, where that one part is the only thing that 'counts' as a limited item, and the rest of the weapon can be bought with cash in a shop or even outdoor market [01:08]
decimation asciilifeform: yeah, you can even buy the parts to turn your milled receiver into a pistol http://www.bushmaster.com/firearms/pistols.asp [01:08]

asciilifeform see the 'saw-off' mosin earlier in thread [01:08]
asciilifeform poor ears [01:08]
decimation asciilifeform: one thing that bewilders me is why suppressors and subsonic ammo is not popular in the us [01:09]
decimation I guess going deaf at the range is an implied rite of manhood [01:09]
asciilifeform decimation: this might have to do with the fact that much of what u.s. folks take to the shooting galleries seems to exist for little purpose but to make an impressive 'bang' [01:09]
asciilifeform so the suppressors (sop in eu) were banned as something only a 'shady crook' would use [01:10]

mircea_popescu decimation ambush like whom ? [01:18]
decimation well, I'm thinking of a more military scenario [01:21]
asciilifeform ACTION is an armchair general only, but doesn't see the military advantage of usg against subjects as consisting solely or even largely of superior small arms. what, rebel army won't break the law against modifying trigger of semi weapons to auto? rather, advantage of usg is same as in the time of hammurabi - soldiers are fed by the palace so they needn't 'waste' time on honest work; are resupplied so they needn't look for what [01:22]
decimation asciilifeform: it's not even clear that having full auto ar-15's would be much of an advantage at all [01:24]
asciilifeform or whatever $machine [01:24]
decimation asciilifeform: but I agree with your point. ultimately any resistance to usg is going to be economic [01:24]
asciilifeform picture if usg tomorrow said 'we don't care, go buy a cannon if you want, like it's 1780 again' [01:24]
asciilifeform how many will buy? [01:25]
asciilifeform usg still controls, de-facto, the factory, and can thus set price [01:25]
decimation particularly, as you have pointed out, the ammo factory [01:25]
asciilifeform by the time you have a desire to buy the cannon instead of 'toyota' - it's generally too late [01:25]

asciilifeform as it quite certainly could have been [03:02]
mircea_popescu because the thing is worthless ? [03:03]
asciilifeform (my hypothesis, simple: because eth. isn't alive and cannot be killed by shooting in the head. like 'redphone' and 'silent circle') [03:03]
asciilifeform 1000 'fatal' bugs will be found, if it carries on long enough, and will make no difference. [03:04]

mircea_popescu Because it is endangered and endemic to the area, development projects have been restricted to preserve its habitat. For example, the Dickey-Lincoln dam, a $227 million hydroelectric project proposed on the upper Saint John River in 1974, was deauthorized by Congress in 1986 after years of study, because the dam would have flooded 88,000 acres (360 km2) of Maine forest and severely reduced the lousewort's habitat. Some [08:02]
mircea_popescu criticized ending the dam project to protect the lousewort; Time magazine called the idea "downright silly" in 1977. While thought extinct at the time the dam was proposed, it was rediscovered in 1976 by C.D. Richards while doing surveys to determine the environmental impact of the dam. [08:02]

cazalla the other leftie type being.. amir/hippy types living in a hovel engaging in drug fuelled orgies? [21:09]
adlai pete_dushenski: could be. scytales just rearrange the 'packets' of a message, whereas modern crypto jumbles the data within [21:09]
pete_dushenski " the scytale, consisted of a tapered baton around which was spirally wrapped a piece of parchment inscribed with the message. When unwrapped the parchment bore an incomprehensible set of letters, but when wrapped around another baton of identical proportions, the original text reappeared. " [21:10]
adlai it just changes the order of the letters [21:11]

adlai pete_dushenski: let's say scytale diameter is em/2π, ie the message has six 'rows', and each sextet of letters on the wrapped paper corresponds to a column [21:15]
adlai the scytale cipher is equivalent to drawing a long table with six rows (adding columns as needed), and writing out the message to fill the column; then all the letters are jumbled. but the letters remain unchanged [21:16]
adlai it leaks information about the message content, even if you don't get the full thing [21:16]

mircea_popescu asciilifeform what i mean is, that you need the volume to be defined by the same angle all around the center. ie, you need a baton that can be turned. whereas in practice they'd use unturned batons. [21:24]

asciilifeform still crackable with a rubber cock that inflates while second variable is expansion of one end (use an aperture, like camera) [21:27]

asciilifeform more like cracking a rotor [21:28]
mircea_popescu more like cracking rsa : for the techology they had at the time, absolute security. [21:28]

mircea_popescu "The same chemical properties that allow high concentrations of ozone to react with organic material outside the body give it the ability to react with similar organic material that makes up the body, and potentially cause harmful health consequences.

asciilifeform don't sit and be gassed when fumigating. [21:49]
mircea_popescu asciilifeform the idea is to treat air with ozone in an ozone trap. [21:49]
mircea_popescu not to pump ozone into the atmosphere. [21:49]
asciilifeform the linked thing was about machines that do precisely the latter [21:49]
asciilifeform commonly sold in gringolandia as cure-alls [21:49]
mircea_popescu yes well, the epa idiocy was not finding the room, among very usefully distinctive verbiage like "Healthy people, as well as those with respiratory difficulty, can experience breathing problems when exposed to ozone.", to specify this [21:50]

mircea_popescu yeah. right. [22:21]
asciilifeform ben_vulpes: point was that these folks live in a perverse sandbox world where it literally doesn't matter what happens [22:21]
mircea_popescu which is why the democrats have alternatives. because she's not running. [22:21]

pete_dushenski offering up his 'body and blood' [22:30]
pete_dushenski adlai 'the winner' getting out of dodge and never looking back would do. [22:36]
