What is new tech that will make guns obsolete anons?https://x.com/firesidealpha/status/2084142523740762456?s=20
>>109458699This chud is such a fucking chancer.
>>109458699> smth we could have built 100 years ago> makes guns irrelevant that were designed since stoner's ar platform> but older guns are finePut the clues in a "you should be able to solve this pic" and ask /k/, ig
>>109458760why not tell us u insufferable faggot
>>109458780I'm just going from OP's pic. If I knew the answer, I would have told posted it.
>uh we make our shit so that it can be manufactured anywhere>by people without skills>with materials you can find in any factoryNigga calls his own shit cheap lmfao
>>109458699smart bombs
>>109458950GNU/nuke
>>109458699>the 20sActually the 1911 is even older than that
mental how much i've used this since predictions markets took off
>>109458699Estrogen in the water
>>109458699Tech won't make guns obsolete, unless it's used to re-wire folks brain to the point they don't feel the requirement.It is interesting to note what % their catalog of products are based around guns, and evolutions therof. It's like they're saying: You see everything we make? you don't want that. We're about to make it obsolete. I don't expect it to live up to their hype, their flagship shit - thunder - is essentially him copying terminator franchise HK series of drones wrapping it up the currently popular 'loyal wingman' package, bringing nothing new to the table just copying everything they've seen someone else do....But for a tech most people have paid little attention to in the years since it's conception you have the likes of MgAl3 foams - A blend of magnesium and aluminium foam, of which I've seen ballistics tests wherin a 10mm thick plate ate a .45 and rendered it to powder. The more notable aspect is usually in these high speed footages you notice a ripple pass through the material away from the impact site. Not here. Backed by a non-newtonian fluid to eat shockwave transfer it might form quite decent lightweight ballistics protection...>>109459006>Estrogen in the waterThe levels are only rising...
It's just a drone. He """invented""" a drone.
Fucking clown cannot even get the Altius right, the information security posture of his company is very bad according to burger Defense and suddenly he is building some disruptive super weapon?Fuck you. Who's in charge of your marketing operations? The same idiots who run public relations for OpenAI and Anthropic? And to think that this is the man in charge of protecting the U.S. from the Chinese.
>>109458699Throwable grenade drone that hunts for targets
>>109458760My bet is some sort of electrical triggering system for the ammunition. Maybe the ammunition will have some sort of encryption system on it that prevents it from being fired without official authorization.Knowing its Anduril, they're probably building some sort of smart gun like from Judge Dredd that can only be fired by authorized users in authorized environments and be turned into a metal brick by revoking firing privileges.
>>109458699it is the 20s right now though!
>>109459322That wouldn't make 50 years of firearm dev irrelevant, anyone normal would want ammo without DRM
>>109458760We board prompting now?
>>109459322Meat strom was already a thing and while cool, it wasn't very useful. The next real advancement is probably really high pressure. Like the retarded sig rifle only in a non retarded caliber and gun.
>>109459494>Meat stromYou meant "metal storm", right?Oh it was useful alright, think o the arrayed pods they used for the 1,000,000 RPM test for point defence drone interception....I think it was shelved because there isn't any way to stop an adversary from remotely detonating all your ammo before you intend, or the shielding required negates any advantages, potentially in a sequence that is most unfavourable to yourself....
>>109458699AI.
>>109459746Yeah that's what we called it on /k/ back when that board was fun and not overrun
Could he be talking about a new kind of caseless munitions? Or a new receiver design?
>>109458699And I beLIEve him!
>>109459005What is "this", you fucking vagueposter?
>>109459953It'd take too long to explain, especially here.
Maybe he's talking about armor.
>>109458699>oooooohhhh I have some super secret mega news thats gonna change eeeeevrything!! Its suuuper important and a reallly big deal but its a secret! I cant tell you what it is but you're gonna love it and its gonna be amaaaaazing hehe!!
Did they figure out how to make a feasable railgun or coilgun?
>>109458699Frieza soldier shooter that uses your own bio energy as ammo? Only thing that I can think of that will replace guns.
>>109458699A practical gauss canon maybe.
>>109459322Electric triggers could be better but good luck drming it. It could be cool like plasma, gauss or high ex but realistically I'm looking at a different size calibur. I'm guessing it's smaller heavier ammo, even smaller than .38 or 22lr like 22 hornet but way deadlier.
>>109458699Guns with some kind of AI slop, calling it.
>>109458699Drones, to bad he isn't bullet proof. He is outdated tech. Just like the health care ceo
>>109458699You could do a bunch of cool shit with electrical triggers. One idea i had was that you could put multiple propellant charges into the bullet and detonate them (or not) as the projectile traveled down the barrel. What you're looking for in a gun is exhaust velocity, but having a single charge means you're limited by peak pressure in how much propellant you can have. With this system you could make a barrel made out of shitty steel perform like an artillery piece.
>>109459276Anduril's whole thing is that they realized that you can make military gear out of Aliexpress tech. Radios, cameras, drones etc. Trouble is you don't need Anduril to do that for you, as any idea of theirs that actually works has been shat out by the tens of thousands by both Ukraine and Russia. You do need Aliexpress though, so good luck with defeating China like that.
>>109458699gun drm as predicted by hideo kojima
>>109458699Let me guess, the Gyrojet from back in the 1960s?https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gyrojet
>>109459322or a radio wave that changes the gun powder composition making it not explosive to start with
>>109460846Got any physics to back up that?
>>109460866If I could think of it there must be a way
>>109458699it's probably this shit
>>109458699>tech that will make guns obsoleteBorders, probably. Getting rid of guns doesn't really help when you let a bunch of child rapists into the country and then protect them from the local population whenever they stab one of the locals.
>>109458699So, it's going to be a portable laser or a coilgun right?
>>109458699this dude cannot even produce a clone n64 without issues, why the fuck would anyone believe what he has to say
>>109458699Caseless ammunition with high explosive as the propellent. Something very high velocity like c4. Very small and fast bullets. Chamber pressures stupid high, thus very thick overbuilt chambers and barrels.He said we could have made it 100 years ago. There's my guess.
>>109458699He is probably talking about the jewish space lasers. Are you a jew and you spot some antisemitism on your way to synagogue? Dial on your flip phone the space laser number, and keep your flip phones antenna aimed at your target. Your target will disintegrate in front of you instantly within the next 1 minute
>>109459322No, it's definitely going to be some kind of electrically propelled projectile. Lucky grew up making coil guns, if he's this excited about a "gun replacement" it's definitely a railgun or something.
>>109459322>My bet is some sort of electrical triggering system for the ammunition.It'll be this. Caseless ammunition and electronic firing system. It's been done before but never taken off.
>>109458699>I did SOMETHING FUCKING AMAZING that WILL CHANGE EVERYTHING>Just INVEST all your money in my THING THAT'S TOTALLY REAL, TRUST ME BRO
>>109458699must be super rad
>>109460887I can convert the state of matter using energy. It's not the sort of scales that could be considered portable and you'd really want to be no-where near the reaction. Like the next solar system over, nowhere near.But lets pretend there's a magic wave that will render cordite, and presumably other explosives, chemically stable.What's stopping your opponent using that? and in that inevitability, projectiles will be launched via other means - mechanical has it's limits and electricity appears to be materials that will handle the acceleration (which suggests finer control can give more firearm scale performance, and resulting barrel lifetime). >>109461146That effect might be a wavelength thing, I'm more impressed with freezing things with laser than burning mesself th- just dumping energy into until it gets hot is about as caveman as laser gets - but I'll put my money on the 'surviving' target being outside the burning laser's focal depth or the material's dye to reflect more than absorb. Blue beam on a blue cloth... Note how anything that lingers starts to burn...Also. Lets see this pulled off at a significant distance and retain portability. Generally that sort of power supply is at least 'truck' scale...>>109461240That's not obseleting guns. It's guns. Also, it's been done and there was a reason it was shelved. Further, your premise fails to address the AR platform comments, which would most benefit from a caseless paradigm.>>109461456>it's definitely a railgun or something.I'm to understand the limits are the power supply and the material science for something that'll take more than few shots before it needs complete dissasembly and parts swapped out...>>109461532>It's been done before but never taken offNow ask: "Why".
>>109458699>I have a girlfriend>She goes to another school though, so you wouldn't know her>You cant meet either, since she goes to another school
it would be fun to watch this guy in a deathmatch with the ceo of raytheon
energy weapons
>>109464258Had them for ages.Power sources are the issue there. Can build a 100MW laser. maser. whatever. Maybe even get it down to a man-portable package. Lets see you walk around with a literal power station.If that pleb (or more likely, someone they pay) has solved that little problem, then the scope of application will be very much beyond destroying things, and will make more money in just about every other direction.
