NonCredibleDefense
A community for your defence shitposting needs
Rules
1. Be nice
Do not make personal attacks against each other, call for violence against anyone, or intentionally antagonize people in the comment sections.
2. Explain incorrect defense articles and takes
If you want to post a non-credible take, it must be from a "credible" source (news article, politician, or military leader) and must have a comment laying out exactly why it's non-credible. Low-hanging fruit such as random Twitter and YouTube comments belong in the Matrix chat.
3. Content must be relevant
Posts must be about military hardware or international security/defense. This is not the page to fawn over Youtube personalities, simp over political leaders, or discuss other areas of international policy.
4. No racism / hatespeech
No slurs. No advocating for the killing of people or insulting them based on physical, religious, or ideological traits.
5. No politics
We don't care if you're Republican, Democrat, Socialist, Stalinist, Baathist, or some other hot mess. Leave it at the door. This applies to comments as well.
6. No seriousposting
We don't want your uncut war footage, fundraisers, credible news articles, or other such things. The world is already serious enough as it is.
7. No classified material
Classified ‘western’ information is off limits regardless of how "open source" and "easy to find" it is.
8. Source artwork
If you use somebody's art in your post or as your post, the OP must provide a direct link to the art's source in the comment section, or a good reason why this was not possible (such as the artist deleting their account). The source should be a place that the artist themselves uploaded the art. A booru is not a source. A watermark is not a source.
9. No low-effort posts
No egregiously low effort posts. E.g. screenshots, recent reposts, simple reaction & template memes, and images with the punchline in the title. Put these in weekly Matrix chat instead.
10. Don't get us banned
No brigading or harassing other communities. Do not post memes with a "haha people that I hate died… haha" punchline or violating the sh.itjust.works rules (below). This includes content illegal in Canada.
11. No misinformation
NCD exists to make fun of misinformation, not to spread it. Make outlandish claims, but if your take doesn’t show signs of satire or exaggeration it will be removed. Misleading content may result in a ban. Regardless of source, don’t post obvious propaganda or fake news. Double-check facts and don't be an idiot.

I had no idea the Shinzo Abe thing was a doohickey. I take it that's not a regular bullet? How did it work?
I went digging and found this fairly detailed article on it https://armamentresearch.com/craft-produced-firearm-used-to-assassinate-shinzo-abe/
The dude had more doohickeys too! This picture of a cop holding one looks cyberpunk as fuck:
Looks like a lego guy at first.
Black powder, model rocket igniters, and ball bearings shoved into a piece of threaded pipe that's capped on one end. You can build one of these in less than 30 minutes.
Hardest thing to get in Japan would probably be the black powder and it's completely possible to manufacture that yourself. Everything else comes from the plumbing aisle of a DIY store and a model rocket shop.
So this is where Bungie gets their exotic weapon designs from for Destiny
Legend of Abcrius
What's with this level of overengineering? Just get the Piezo from a lighter and maybe that igniter powder from fireworks and good.
I'd guess people have tried those small piezos and they haven't worked too well (not a big enough spark?), or at least it seems likely most would start from the simplest possible solution. I'd definitely have started with a piezo too if I was screwing around building a zip gun (which I'm definitely not doing)
Firearms don't have to be needlessly complicated, zeroed in. Ammo, propellant, firing cap/something to ignite propellant, metal tubes to direct the subsequent blast & ammo.
The guy basically rigged up a rudimentary cyberpunk blunderbuss.
