I would need to ether dig a whole and also have a bullet stopping roof on it or build a four berm range. I was thinking the better way to test it would be to hand load some rounds with the same powder load and bullet weight (needed to cycle the action) but with a bullet equivalent that is not capable of much penetration (like a fine lead powder).

I think I would start with 2 rounds and the firearm fixed in place (to test if the action will cycle at all). Then go to oven with gun on baking sheet and 2 rounds. Then go oven rack and 2 rounds. And then maybe baking sheet and full mag if it all worked as theorized. I don't think you need a way to pull the trigger since the firearm while heating is inherently in an unsafe condition, you would have to instead leave the thing to cool for a long time (also to rule out hang fires) and unload the rounds for inspection (not to be reused).

I would assume even if a few rounds went off in the barrel once a set temp was reached they would all cook off. The mechanics of this is really interesting.

Same in Canada, (I hate that I need a loonie to shop with dignity).

Even so, people still leave their carts around. And really that is even worse.

I really want to test this, but the idea of inventing a more random version of Russian roulette where the gun is in a box and will shoot at random in a random direction you can not see......

Damn it, I need to test this.

This is the same person that put a loaded firearm in the oven we both know there was a round in the chamber.

And no, in my experience very few hand guns have the "limpwrist" issue.

Possible with a semi auto, since the chamber and barrel would transmit heat better to a chambered round then the magazine and all the safety parts don't really assume cook off. Yeah a round fires, slide racks back and loads next round, next round cooks off, over and over until all rounds are the same temp.

Spooky stuff.

"No one will punish you for not returning the shopping cart, no one will fine you or kill you for not returning the shopping cart..."

Hmmmm, I wonder if this is always true. Maybe somewhere there is someone who does not let such things stand.

As a person, nothing Jay is fine.

As a tech consumer advice channel, he is a joke. I still remember when ryzen first was getting good and after going over all the data on why it was better and cheaper he cuts to himself sitting behind a desk and tells everyone that they should do the "right" thing and buy intel, as it is the clear choice.

"Trust me bro" and "I think individual smart light bulbs are a good idea" were when I had to put LTT in the Jays 2 cents corner of shame.

What can you do that they are not already doing to themselves? I mean look at what they drive.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 months ago

See that was one thing I was hoping for with electric, Odd small trucks making a come back. But nope, just Ferd F-teenthousand all the way down now.

Eh good chance they will not notice and these things are over $100k so likely the monetary aspect will be shrugged off.
