Now wouldn't this have it's uses in the world of improvised weapons? As the "head, or tip" of the "bullet" can be projectile, this mean's you can attach any number of screw in projectile.

Or you can modify the screw already in it. Either by cutting an upside down V into it to make a sharp point in the screw, even little arrow's could be screwed/welded into it.

If one would use these in a real gun, they would need to be cut down in size to fit into the mag of the gun. But these would have great use in improvised rifle's/handguns.

You don't have to worry about wonky flight of the projectile, as they can be perfectly centered, if it's too much weight on the backend, simply unscrew the screw part a little until it's centered, too heavy on the tip? simple screw in a little more till it's centered.

The possibility's are endless! More to come. Including pictures of a test fire with the modified munitions.

Would you mind telling me what tha fuck this is.

Erm.. a topic on improvised munitions?

[DBSP]

Look even I understand that, but how is it suposed to work?

I think these people mean, what are these pictures of? You can show us pictures, but if you don't explain them we're just as lost as if you didn't have pictures at all.

Ok, well basically you can use it however you want, it's just a projectile.

I assume you could pack it into a pipe with a black powder charge to propel it in a somewhat basic "zip gun". I just thought it make spark some interest, as it's 9mm, and can be modified in a number of different ways, and also has the option of being able to change the "tip" or "lead projectile".

Perhaps your an assassin, and need to change a round of high explosive, to a silent poison. It's quick, easy, silent, and just screws in. How you would do this I leave to you, I'm not a gun smith.

A quick edit, I put it into a PDF as this explains it better, as I can't do an ALT tag (image description in HTML form) here's the link: <a href="http://www.boomspeed.com/eliteforum/Improvised_Munitions.pdf.jpg" target="_blank">http://www.boomspeed.com/eliteforum/Improvised_Munitions.pdf.jpg</a> You need to delete the *.jpg extension for the PDF to open.

I'm not in the mood for this kind of shit. What excactly do you mean to accomplish by adding a heavy metal cylinder at the back of the case?

[Eliteforum]

Maybe this should explain what I mean, as it's more simplistic. And DBSP, just because it's that time of a month for you doesn't mean you have to get pissy.

Where the projectile is, you simple put your modified screw in projectile.

Ok now I get it.

The "projectile" will be to heavy when using this design. And at that there will be absolutely nothing that can prevent the gases from escaping at the sides of the projectile. And why shooting the case along with the bullet, it would be much better to use the bullet as it is and use a pipe that is just a bit over 9mm, that way you would have a much better seal between the bullet and the pipe. And the velocity of the projectile would be far to low using "safe" ammounts of propellant simply becase it is to heavy.

Sorry if I'm very pessemistic about this but I really don't see any use for it.
