Re: Defenestrato

Never mind, I found it.

Tammaso Defenestrato -- a Colonel in the Boxer Rebellion war of 1899. Later, the Italian "layered defense" would be named after Colonel Defenstrato -- which is funny, because when his name is broken down, it is literally "Strato (layer) Defenes (Defense)".

Re: Couple believes evil doesn't exist, then they biked through ISIS territory

ISIS is active in Tajikistan? Why? For what? And who cares about Tajikistan?. They aren't active there. They use it as a safe haven for R&R and resupply. Think Laos in 1970. Fair enough. But still... .why? And how? Ideologically it makes sense, or at least as much as ISIS does in general. But r...

Re: Bismuth as a catalyst for fuel synthesis

Catalysts lower the energy of reaction. So do enzymes. You are experiencing a fundamental misunderstanding. The above process costs more energy than it produces. The end. If that energy comes from a coal-powered electric plant, then the overall system will produce more CO2 than it will eliminate.

This isn't fusion or fission. Therefore, the total number of atoms before and after the process is identical.

Re: A half-assed idea....

There's a muzzle device called a 'fire-pig' which is just a cylinder on the end of the barrel. The point of it isn't to reduce overall sound, but to simply direct it away from the shooter. If a standard silencer could be screwed directly onto the end of a 'fire pig', then the 'fire-pig' would become...

Re: Best 9mm Suppressor for AR-9 Direct Thread?

http://cz-usa.com/product/cz-s2-ti-reflex/

If you go with this model, it'll be 100% usage on a 9mm AR. It is completely unsuitable for a handgun.

It adds very little to the overall length of your platform without sacrificing either baffle count or internal volume.

Re: 22 Nosler Suppression?

A short-barrel 22 Nosler does not make sense. The cartridge is fundamentally a 223 magnum. You might do better with 30 caliber suppressor, and don't shorten the barrel. A suppressor will bring down the noise level, but an AR and a full-power centerfire cartridge isn't going to be hearing safe at all.
