  4. Mind that explosive charges and even waterjet charges are now more common and can be used to sever connections with precise timing. If you wanted to foil a FBI bomb squad nowadays you'd need a little more trickery.

  5. That's actually still being disputed, some claim that the blue flash was caused by air molecules falling back to unexcited states but others claim it's Cherenkov radiation from the water in people's eyes. https://www.pnnl.gov/main/publications/external/technical_reports/PNNL-19176.pdf page 160 figure 64

  6. cooldude does vids government agencies are exempt from NFA laws. The manufacturers have to be licensed to manufacture for the government. The civilian PS90 has a legal length barrel of >16", if you want to cut it down you need to abide by NFA rules and register it with the ATF. Same with MP5s, MAC10, Uzis: you either get it as a rifle with stock and 16" barrel, or normal barrel and no stock so that it's legally a pistol. Mind that today the tax stamp is $200 but it has not kept up with inflation - back in 1934 200 bucks was what you'd pay for a firearm, essentially doubling the price. They were really trying to prevent people from shortening barrels.

  8. +Wout B Well, most countries ban cutting down barrels because it makes weapons concealable and generally speaking handguns are harder to get (in some countries long guns are legal and available but handguns are nearly impossible to get legally/banned) so they want to charge people caught with short barrels. In the US in 1934 they started to regulate concealable weapons except handguns, and by definition you can't turn shotguns or rifles into handguns by cutting them down. Also handguns cannot have smoothbore barrels. The Taurus Judge gets away with being a handgun because it's technically a .45 Colt revolver, and it has shallow rifling. But it's meant to be loaded with .410 shotgun shells.

  9.  @Clay3613  The Guardian, New York Times, The Intercept and even left leaning outlets like Democracy Now! have reported on it. But you've been condition to just say "Alex Jones" whenever confronted with information that paints the government in bad light.

  10. Redundancy is what renders it nearly impossible to defuse. All the elements can be attacked when alone, but they protect each other from tampering.

  11. Explosively formed charges are still in use, now we have waterjet charges too. An explosion directs a high pressure jet that cuts the connections or components you want. Liquid nitrogen can be used to freeze mercury tilt switches.

  12. So the government was in the wrong but he should have surrendered himself to the government... Yeah people letting governments which are in the wrong detain them never went bad in history.

  13.  @Clay3613  No rambling here. Anyone paying attention knows that it's been widely reported that feds encourage terror plots so they can "bust" terrorists before the act and pretend they're saving people. In the 2000s the feds were known to have insiders in mosques trying to incite jihadist attacks. They take advantage of the mentally ill, too. The ATF "foiled" a bomb plot in which a guy who still lived with his parents due to his disability was coerced into "making" a bomb by undercover agents. The ATF provided him with the materials and "busted" him.

  14. Nazis to Jews: "you could just come out hands up" Soviets to anti-fascist militias and resistance fighters: "you could just come out hands up" Yeah we've heard that one before.

  15. +The Rageaholic "That 14 year old kid firing on agents and dying because of it" lol as if he dropped dead from the act of shooting the gun. He was KILLED by the government. The people inside the property were acting in self-defense. The agents' conduct was abhorrent. And you're pinning the blame on guns.

  16. +Dan Lamont you're right, the psychopaths who lied, manipulated and killed should own all the weapons.

  17. ​ @electricspeedkiller8950  the Mi-24 suffers from being too much of a gunship to be a good attack helicopter and too much of an attack helicopter to be a good transport. Basically the Soviet/Russian doctrine was to just not use the troop transport ability of the Mi-24 and use them as escorts for Mi-8s carrying troops. Later Russia developed the Mi-28 Havoc and Ka-52 Alligator which are conventional attack helicopters because the troop transport function is a waste of resources.

  18. Often liquid nitrogen is used to make WW2 bombs less sensitive for disposal. But in this case the liquid would have still triggered the float and they'd still need to cut a hole in the casing without touching the foil.

  19. Liquid nitrogen is still denser than air so it would cause the float to trigger. Also, they'd need to put a hole in the casing without toucing the foil.

  20. I assume that's the test - getting the people being instructed to think of a solution, and there isn't one way to solve it but multiple procedures to deal with the problem. Such as using the x-rays to determine which methods can't be used, finding a way to open and pry the box with non-metallic/conductive means, where and when to set off charges that rip the components out and cut the connection, etc.
