    Can you imagine if that was your superpower. You just walk around and not machines, not tools, but guns specifically get disassembled in your presence.

    Reminds me of a Nancy Kress story about a group of suburban terrorists who go around with a “dissambler” (nanotech) that erodes machinery in order to undermine a nanny state government that tries to keep a lid on technology. It eventually comes down to an arms race between different tech factions, and the idea of government is dissolved completely as the world descends (ascends?) into an anarchic-commune type situation.

      There’s a Ray Bradbury short story called A Piece of Wood about a man who invents a device that rapidly decomposes any modern weapon in his vicinity. It doesn’t end well for him.

      Should send that person on a tour around the entire country and then appoint them ambassador to Israel. Especially if their superpower extends to other weapons as well.

  There’s an old saying in Tennessee - I know it’s in Texas, probably in Tennessee - that says, fool me once, shame on - shame on you. Fool me - you can’t get fooled again.

  Anon should just buy a 3rd gun and take it apart

  It does look kind of complicated, but with less than 100 parts how hard could it be?

  Probably a fake post (b/c 4Chan), but maybe they got stuck at a specific section of the rebuild?

    That’s a lot more parts than I expected tbh

      I intended to make a joke about leaving the screws out, but there are only 5. (Plus nuts and bolts.)

      10 springs though. A lot more than I anticipated.

    I used to do a lot of repair stuff and I posted a lot on the associated subreddits and stack exchanges related to the topic. I’ve seen a lot people with things much less complex than this post pictures like “how do I put it back together??? They’d get detailed instructions from people on how to do it, then post angry replies that people basically weren’t doing it for them and (I assume) give up

  sigh. See all those rivets? i doubt he drilled them out to enable that level of disassembly.

  Why have one problem when you can just as easily have two problems of the exact same kind? Efficiency, if you ask me.

  source

  • SeekPie@lemm.ee ⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

    And if you now fix one of the problems, you resolved two problems at once. Efficiency!

    source

    • don@lemm.ee ⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

      I see you assumed that two exact copies of the same problem required the exact same solution for both. If you will, allow me to show you where you went completely wrong.

  Antique firearms are often fiddly to take apart, repair and reassemble. After all, they weren’t the most optimized designs and often required a lot of hand fitting to get things to work as compared to today. But they aren’t that complex nor were they designed like an iPhone to be near impossible to take apart and reassemble.

  But, like most mechanical things, you really only need to be 5% smarter than the machine to actually work with it. A high bar for some I suppose.

  I’ll always be surprised that you can just go into a pawn shop and buy a revolver in America

  I’m assuming this is set in America, at least

  it doesn’t look that complicated but I guess I’d have to have been born white in the states to have disassembled a real gun

    You dont have to be White to own a firearm here you race-baiting asshat.

    While white people do own a lot of guns, so do non-white people in the U.S. it’s something like half the white people, and a 1/3 of the non -white.

    Which is funny to think about with neighborhoods. If there are 125 houses in your neighborhood, odds are you are surrounded by 50 guns before you leave the neighborhood. Obviously it doesn’t always work that way because some neighborhoods are less likely to have them. (125 was the number in my neighborhood growing up, so I guess why that’s the number that popped in my head first)

      You’re talking about the number of people who gave guns, but not talking about the number of guns that they have!
