A Vietnam vet hires Cannon to investigate when vicious dogs murder two ex-GIs who served with the vet. 53: 5 "Target in the Mirror" Gene Nelson: Robert Blees:
The term destructive device shall not include any device which is neither designed nor redesigned for use as a weapon; any device, although originally designed for use as a weapon, which is redesigned for use as a signaling, pyrotechnic, line throwing, safety or similar device; surplus ordnance sold, loaned or given by the Secretary of the Army ...
The M44 cyanide device (also called a cyanide gun, cyanide trap, or canid pest ejector) is used to kill coyotes, feral dogs, and foxes. It is made from four parts: a capsule holder wrapped with cloth or other soft material, a small plastic capsule containing 0.88 grams of sodium cyanide , a spring-powered ejector, and a 5–7 inches (130–180 ...
The M230 Cannon is a 30 mm (30×113 mm), single-barrel electrically-driven autocannon, using external electrical power (as opposed to recoil or expanding gas generated by the firing cartridge) to cycle the weapon between shots.
Tory's small-scale multi-engine rocket was relatively stable, while Grant's small-scale single-engine, half-cage design flew erratically and almost crashed into the crew. For the full-scale test, they decided to use Tory's rocket shape but with only one engine for safety reasons. The next part to test was the wing-device.
While Grant built a cannon to launch hailstones, Tory learned about their potential size and destructive power and Kari crafted baseball-size ice balls. Tests with aluminum, fiberglass, and wood hulls at speeds of 80, 150 and 300 mph (129, 241 and 483 km/h) did not lead to any punctures, except in one test when a shot struck a rotted patch on ...
Sample from a kinetic energy weapon test. A piece of polycarbonate plastic weighing 7 grams ( 1 ⁄ 4 oz) was fired at an aluminium block at 7 km/s (23,000 ft/s), giving it muzzle energy of 171,500 J (126,500 ft⋅lbf); a typical bullet has muzzle energy of a few thousand joules, with the enormous .950 JDJ reaching 20,000 J (15,000 ft⋅lbf).
To test this myth, the Build Team procured a car, a big rig, and a device that could measure a car's fuel efficiency. They then drove the car behind a moving big rig at various distances ranging from 100 to 2 ft (30.48 to 0.61 m) and measured the amount of fuel the car consumed.
