Design flaw: to check air pistol pressure, point it at your face

Mark W Shead uses the terrifying design of this air pistol (you have to point is straight at your face to check the pressure) as a jumping-off point for a short, to the point essay on “domain knowledge” and software design. Why You Need Domain Knowledge ( via Making Light )

Would Bring To A Knife Fight: DIY 70-Cal T-Rex Rifle

This is a homemade 70-caliber t-rex rifle . It could put a hole in you the size of two yous. I kinda want one, but I’m not allowed to own guns anymore because I’m a felon. It’s not fair, dammit — I’m REFORMED (Not really though, I just tell them that). The cartridge, named the .700 WTF (”What The F…”) and is made by fire forming a .50 BMG brass case, trimming it to 3″ in length and then sizing it. The round is loaded with a 1132 grain paper patched .700 lead cast bullet. The rifle, with just a 16.25″ barrel, can push the 1132 grain of lead up to 2300 fps. Thats 13,000 ft/lbs of energy, right up there with the .50 BMG and far exceeding the .700 Nitro Express. The cast lead bullet has enough energy to pass clean through a 1/4″ steel plate. I want two — one for each hand. Just kidding, I want four — two for each of my bodyguards . “You don’t have bodyguards.” Hell no I don’t have bodyguards, I don’t even have anybody who likes me, let alone cares whether I live or die. “You sound like you’re in a pretty dark place.” Help I’ve been kidnapped and they’re keeping me in a basement! Hit the jump for a couple more shots and a video of the thing being shot.

Protect The Dream House!: Zombie Attack Barbie

This is a fake Zombie Attack Barbie designed by Sarah Anne Langton to encourage young girls to hone their undead survival skills. Because if there’s one thing that won’t save you from a zombie uprising, it’s just being pretty . As you can see, she comes with a beret, one-piece swimsuit (zombies are afraid of water ), pink camouflage bazooka, two dildos, a katana and…some sort of wooden fetish paddle. Zombies HATE being kinky. Also, garlic. “You’re thinking of vampires.” No, I’m thinking of taking a nap in my car at lunch, but nice try. Sarah’s Website via Zombie Attack Barbie [laughingsquid] Thanks to Mary, who played with one of these growing up and can now field-strip and reassemble an M-16 in under a minute.

I know the screencap is kind of blurry, but those are guns in the air. Also, THE LEAST COOL PLACE I CAN THINK OF TO PERFORM YOUR METAL GEAR SOLID GUNSPINNING ROUTINE. “Hey mom — don’t come in the living room for the next five minutes.” God, go outside and stand in front of a tree or something, shit!

MEGA PEWS, MEGA’ER FUN: FPSRussia Guy Shooting Fully Auto 40mm Machine Gun

The FPSRussia guy is back, this time shooting a rooty tooty fresh’n fruity fully automatic 40mm machine gun. On a 1-to-10 scale of pews , this thing is like a 14. Which, not to brag or anything, is the same age I saw my first tit . Sure it was scrambled on Cinemax and I’m pretty sure the kid whose slumber party I was at was masturbating in his sleeping bag, but hey — as long as he was staring at one of our other friends and not me IT’S ALL PIZZA AND MOUNTAIN DEW IN MY BOOK, BABY. Hit the jump for the gun in action, then hit the link to his Youtube channel for like forty billion other gun demos.

Brass Blasters: Steampunk Bullet Insects

These are a bunch of steampunk insects made out of old ammunition and pocket-watch parts by Tom Hardwidge. As you can see, they’re pretty good looking. Unless you hate steampunk stuff, in which case they’re probably pretty bad looking. Whatever side of the fence you yell over, they’re definitely not insects you’d want to beat with a shoe too hard. Get it? Because they might detonate! crawl in an orifice while you sleep and lay eggs. Kidding — KIDDING, only spiders do that. Sweet dreams, jerk! Hit the jump for a bunch more, and the link to even MORE.

Double The PEWsure, Double The Fun: Conjoined Twin Glocks With Scope

Seen here looking suspiciously like the lovechild of Hunter S. Thompson and Hitler, a man demonstrates his ‘DoubleGlock Machine Pistol’ (aka the ‘Doppleglock’). Whatever you do, don’t tell the gansters — they love holding them guns sideways! And not just because it makes the recoil awkward and aiming impossible, but…actually, I don’t know why they do that. Because you were gonna end up shooting a bunch of bystanders anyways? 2PAC LIVES! Hit the jump for one more shot of dude showing off his custom holster and 1/3 white mustache.

2nd Amendment Revocation: Dad Accidentally Shoots Self, Son Accidentally Shoots Mom

Accidentally shooting yourself: it’s embarrassing and it hurts (sometimes fatally!). Accidentally shooting yourself and then your son accidentally shooting your wife: are you sure you’re qualified to own a firearm? The double shooting blunder happened in Alabama recently, as the father, Allen Jones, was retrieving his trusty Glock .40 handgun from the glove box in his truck. As he walked back to his house, he tripped and fell, causing the gun to discharge and accidentally shoot him in the leg, just above his knee. Because his wife Aleisha was upstairs bathing, it was his young son who was the first on the scene. And by the time Aleisha had made it downstairs the little lad was holding the weapon. When she then tried to take the gun from the child, another round fired, this time shooting her in the left side of her neck. Neighbours who heard the gunfire called 911 and the wounded pair were soon taken to to hospital where they’re in stable condition. Dammit Darwin, what are you, on vacation? This could have been a couple easy award recipients right here. But did you show up to give them trophies? Nooooooooo. YOU KNOW THEY’RE NOT GOING TO LEARN THEIR LESSON! Just ask the father, I dare you — ask him what he learned. “Don’t keep my gun in the glove box.” SEE?!?! Crappy local news report after the jump.

Ruskie Shooting Water-Filled Milk Jugs Point-Blank With Guns Of Varying Calibers

Note: Video possibly NSFW depending on how your employer feels about a couple f-bombs. Audio is naturally low though so I say go for it. This is a video of some crazy Ruskie (whose accent alone makes the video worth a watch) demonstrating the effects different caliber bullets have on water-filled milk jugs. He does a 9mm , 38-special, .357, .45 and 12-gauge shotgun (just for the hell of it). After watching, I’ve decided I definitely don’t want to get hit with anything bigger than a 38. Shoot me all day with a 9mm, that’s fine, but I’m not taking a .357 even in the buttcheeks. Shit, or a flu-shot for that matter. Now you can call me old fashioned, but I’d like to leave this world with as many holes in my ass as I came in with: two-and-a-half (one doesn’t actually go anywhere). Hit the jump for more fun than a vodka bottle.

PLEASE TEACH LESSONS: Man Brings Knife To 40-Man Sword & Gunfight, Prevents A Rape

Seen here not even giving a f*** about the fluffy ball on his hat, 35-year old Nepalese soldier Bishnu Shrestha accepts an award for being a total badass and killing/maiming/scaring the living shit out of an entire gang of armed robbers /would-be-rapists off a train with nothing but a knife . *trying to enroll online in the Nepalese army’s training program* 40 men armed with knives, swords and guns stormed the train and began robbing the passengers. Bishnu kept his peace while the gang snatched cell phones, jewelry and cash from other riders. But then, the thugs grabbed the 18 year-old girl sitting next to him and forcefully stripped her naked. Before the bandits could rape the poor girl in front of her helpless parents, Bishnu decided he had enough. “The girl cried for help, saying You are a soldier, please save a sister,” Shrestha recalled. “I prevented her from being raped, thinking of her as my own sister.” Here’s the part of the story that makes you cheer. He pulls out a kukri (i.e. a knife) and proceeds to kill 3 of them, injure 8 of them, and causes the rest to flee. During the battle, he suffered a severe knife injury to his left hand, from which he’s now recovered. Wow . Congratulations Bishnu, I’d like to take this time to present you with the prestigious ‘Geekologie Badass of the Year’ award. I know it’s only early February, but I can say with the utmost confidence nobody will do anything for the rest of the year that’s even half as hardcore. *ahem* Batman. But seriously, good lookin’, Bishnu. *salutes* Hit the jump for a shot of the type of knife he used and a 26-minute news report that’s not in English.
