03:19:14 Devastator_ is now known as Devastator
06:38:22 Devastator: bounce bounce bounce.
06:38:30 Devastator: she's obviously a magical girl.
06:38:57 Egan_: gets chased by enough demons for it...
06:39:25 Devastator: and the demon is herself!
06:40:26 Egan_: it feels good when I pull things off correctly, it often takes a lot of tries to get there though

09:25:55 syv: ...I should submit the double barrel SAW concept to Ian for a Q&A
09:26:08 Devastator: it might drive gun jesus insane.
09:33:04 syv: The basic idea came from his video on the Gilboa snake, which is really the same idea but semiautomatic and unrefined.
09:33:30 syv: He said in that video that while it clearly wasn't practical itself, the concept wasn't wholly without merit, and has been investigated.
09:34:11 syv: He had been looking at it purely from the standpoint of an infantry AR with higher hit probability, so he may not have considered this angle.
09:35:28 syv: I'd expect him to either say "That has so e merit, but I would expect the math to just not work out. You're increasing weight by 60% to save 10% weight from a specific component being lighter."
09:37:05 syv: Or to say "Huh, that's an interesting idea. Maybe! There's problems X, Y, and Z, but those theoretically could be solved as in firearms B/C/D. It doesn't have merit in the current firearms world, as we don't have problems here, but I could have seen this arising in [specific circumstance]"
09:37:43 syv: The latter would be what I'd hope for, since he could surely bring up interesting design elements I wouldn't even know of.
09:38:32 Devastator: Yeah, you should submit it.
09:39:07 syv: Have to think of good phrasing.
09:39:44 syv: Ian's Q&As are great, but are very hit and miss. He answers a lot of answers with essentially "No, not really."
09:45:27 syv: Might just ougright say it's for a game. "I love firearms design, and enjoy creating interesting and strange but still physically plausible weapons for my game. You brought up the feasibility of double barrel weapons in your Gilboa Snake video, and I've been thinking about a double barrel design's feasibility for a SAW role. What problems would this present for an original firearms design, and would solving those proble
09:47:06 syv: He would be very upset if I mentioned I want to parody the CBJ-MS.
09:48:22 syv: I maybe should mention something about this being justified over better options by politics or something. He does like to delve into the political histories of weapons, often talking about how bad designs SHOULDN'T have been accepted, but were for XYZ reasons.
09:52:19 Devastator: you're playing this a bit cunning.
09:58:12 syv: It is so frustrating to listen to his Q&A video, hear him read a really interesting question, and then have him answer "Not really. Realistically that would never have happened."

12:05:11 Egan: may ian is more of a history guy than an alt-history guy
12:06:02 syv: He does enjoy the Elbonian segments though.
12:26:19 syv: Would you be cool with watching an old 1996 movie about a dragon for a movie night?
12:26:32 syv:
Dev reminded me about it, and it was my favorite movie as a small child

14:50:38 sy: Someone should make an AR with a combination between the X16's hybrid short stroke gas system and the AEK-971's BARS system.
