Firing around corners

It depends on whether their are innocent bystanders in the line of fire or not ?

Grenades tend not to be too fussy who they blow up.

Cyborg · December 19, 2003

Yes, grenades will blow up everything.

Also, the smart bullets solution is the most ridiculous idea...

It would need fuel and an onboard computer...

Your just upset that you did not come up with such a brilliant idea. Yes smart bullets would need a fuel source but as for the onboard computer if cellphones can get smaller and smaller each year why not computers. There is no need Cyborg to be jealous of "my" inventive ideas. Cyborg how about I appoint you on my scientific reasearch board for the development of the Smart Bullet just to show you their are no hard feelings. ;) :P

Yeah right ! invent a salt based chemical DNA bullet, that identifies it's target by it's DNA or lack of it.

Atomic Mitten · December 19, 2003

I think the best invention would be where no bullets are required to kill anything. ;)

That would be a really smart thing to do.

Digital Guerrilla · December 19, 2003

Yes Atomic Mitten you can be on the research board also it was unprofessional of me not include you also. :P

Atomic Mitten · December 19, 2003

Well gee thanks, I wouldn't lose any sleep over it though. ;)

Digital Guerrilla · December 19, 2003

Your welcome but seriously a bent barrel of a weapon to fire around corners it's just not a practical idea to me. It seems so many things can effect the performance of the weapon itself so to me it's totally useless.

Atomic Mitten · December 19, 2003

Well there have been even more useless inventions, :

I wasn't referring to the onboard computer as something impossible to implement.

I was referring to it because of its cost. Bullets would cost many (hundred) times as much if they needed fuel and a computer steering program.

Also, a bullet can't change course fast enough to be able to be used in urban wars, because it would hit something in its big turning radius.

Also, if the bullets reacted to heat, they would hit anything. I could just light up something and lay it next to me, and the bullet would hit that instead. Or, if it measured the temperature to find something with human heat, that would easily be fooled too.

To be sure to hit, you would need a target system, which would need you to know where the target it. It could be done with sattelites, but this is such an expensive solution compared to a gun that can be turned around a corner.

It's actually totally useless... We have missiles doing the job of your bullet already, and they're called cruise missiles.

There's a reason why they're big, because as they are very expensive, they need an expensive target so that the high cost is somewhat justified...

We already have those. :D Knives.Poison,etc. ;)

Seriously,the best invention would be like we can command armies using a computer game system. ;D

Cyborg · December 19, 2003

Or to implement a small amount of explosives into each human brain, so that if someone are to die, it's just to log onto that person's chip and detonate the charge...

Digital Guerrilla · December 19, 2003

Cyborg maybe someone forgot to say that.......this is not that serious. The smart bullet was a sci-fi joke you test tube baby. ::)

Cyborg · December 19, 2003

I knew you were joking. Especially by the way you argued my first comment ;)

However, I had some fun arguing back...

thomas · December 19, 2003

we need to invent a vehicle that travels on catipillar threads, has thick steel armor plating and had has a turret with a large cannon mounted in the turret ;)

here's my blue-brint[attachment deleted by Gobalopper]

LMAO! I just pulled a muscle in my kneck from laughing at that. ;D

Atomic Mitten · December 21, 2003

Good one, are you going to call it a tank, ? maybe ? ::)

thomas · December 21, 2003

HOW'D YOU KNOW! >:(

you're a spy! ;)

Atomic Mitten · December 21, 2003

Quite correct actually. 8)

Like I know your sofa is dark blue, and your mum makes great pancakes.

thomas · December 21, 2003

:O

lowzeewee · December 21, 2003

Ha!Liar!WRONG!The pancakes his mum make aren't great,or maybe it's just my opinion.Maybe if you had said "edible",I would have agreed with you and believed you were a spy for Beecham and Kline Ribena! :O :D

thomas · December 21, 2003

my sofa is dark blue though. . .

well actually just the covers, and my mom makes excellent waffles so you were close.

lowzeewee · December 21, 2003

So that means you haven't tasted anything e;se other than home cooking,scytale... :O :D

Atomic Mitten · December 22, 2003

Why do you say that Lowzeewee, he must have been to McDonalds, because the girl he likes works there. ;)
