If there’s one thing in the world I don’t mind doing, it’s cleaning my guns. Of course that’s most likely because I don’t actually own any guns, I’m sure if I did own one, cleaning it would be a pain in the ass. I couldn’t imagine actually sitting down to clean one, let alone 10, I’m a busy guy. Naturally, I’d opt to take the lazy way out, and buy a special dishwasher to do it for me.
The F636HT Heavy Duty Long Gun & Handgun System is a solution for those that have more guns than they have time to clean. Simply load up 10 handguns or 4 of your best long guns and you’re ready to go. You’d better do a lot of cleaning, as the system will set you back $7,100. At least you’ll be set to clean 1,000 guns before you need to reload on chemicals.
Remember how the US Navy decided that it wanted an electromagnetic railgun like two years ago? Now, they’ve got one that looks to me like it works pretty well if the above pics are any indication. Instead of using gunpowder to accelerate a shell, a railgun uses magnetic fields, which means it’s a lot less messy, and you can dump tons of juice in and get the shell going damn fast… If you’ve got a little over 10 megajoules as with this demonstration model, you’re looking at 5,600 mph. When the system is completed, it’ll be firing shells with over six times that energy (well over 13,000 mph) using 64 megajoules of energy. To give you a sense of scale, an 8 megajoule test shot has an impacting force that the Navy describes as being the equivalent of “hitting a target with a Ford Taurus at 380 mph.” Plus, the gun should be able to hit a 5 meter target from 200 nautical miles away while pumping out 10 rounds per minute.
