Greetings and Salutations!
So seems Commander Bracken beat me to the punch tonight regarding easily home-made drones and whatnot…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The link is HERE<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

NOW: The main article of Interest is HERE<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even CA put it out there. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Now… Mind you I have ALL the pertinent files ALREADY on The BCE Mayhem Library:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

March 16th!!!
SUCK IT Y’all!
I’m always<\/strong> trying to be ‘out in front’ of the trends LOL

So anyways, besides weenie wagging, I’ll also share ANOTHER interesting <\/em>webpage: The M1337 3D Printable Minigun in 5.56mm<\/a>. Tell me THAT isn’t off the charts based AF<\/strong>.

It made quite the impression out in Vegas at the SHOT show.

The link has the downloadable files, as well as the instructionals, and some pieces parts you need (like the crank) to build your own. MY 3-D printer has been down quite a spell and since I’m like “SQUIRREL!” with alllll sorts of new projects, THAT one in particular got back burnered. I need to get back in the groove fixing that when I get the chance and reorganize the front room

I need more bench space TBH.
Too much shit and projects, not enough room.
I mean I have a plan… but doing versus ‘planning?’
Yeah. I’m a lazy bastard on occasion.

Now…
In keeping with the theme, lets look at this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The article is HERE<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The thing of it is, it sounds<\/strong> all noble and shit, to “prevent gun violence!” The problem is “Ghost Guns” i.e. non-serialized guns make up like maybe<\/em> 5% or less of guns actually used in crime?

Yeah
That’s not the real reason<\/strong> for the attempts to shut 3D printed ‘stuff’ down. In reality?

Well it’s a combination of the Military Industrial Complex AND the Gun Control Industry. Essentially the two have met, and decided to coordinate. An unholy and unexpected alliance? Maybe I say. The Military Industrial Complex, working with the Gun Controllers you say?
Yep.
See… things like this are part and parcel of their problem:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

That’s $600,000.00<\/strong> that didn’t<\/strong> get grifted into the maw of “Big MIC” How many ‘other’ items can be made in short time, for a fraction<\/strong> of the $? I mean even us tards here can do that maffs.<\/strong>

I mean granted, the $97 MANPAD -is- only a proof-of-concept- and needs a LOT more work in order for it to become viable.
HOWEVER<\/strong>
Consider a Stinger Missile, the FIM-92 costs now about $20o,000.00 per shot<\/strong>. I figure that the kid’s homebrewed MANPAD could have it’s game ‘upped’ with enough Autism and time, that I could believe that short range anti-aircraft missiles will be readily available over-the-counter or at least home-made within 2 years.

I mean a proximity fuze and a black powder charge with say a 1\/8th or 1\/4 pound of 00 buckshot could for-real ruin a flyboy’s day for sure.

So much for the game theory of “You can’t fight the DotGov! They have F-15\/16\/18s!!!”

Yeeeeeeeeeah.
And Armor?
The days of Armor are now done.
Drones saw to that.

The question is does the DotMil realize it?
I mean this shit in the Gulf is getting hinkier by the day.
Not enough IRL Intel.

MY<\/strong> frens who still worked in Kuwait have all gone radio silent<\/strong>.
Whether by being forced to<\/strong> or….
I’m not sure.
-I- know the last word -I- got was they were all being evaac’d to Germany. Beyond that? Nothing. All of their social media haven’t posted in two plus weeks, and suspiciously, NONE of their families stateside have either, be it on Facebook, Instagram or anywhere else.

All of which screams<\/strong> cover up.
Make of it what you will.
So More Later
Big Country<\/p>\n\n\n\n
