Most likely some Autismos ARG "I was only pretending to be retarded" project called the Pepe Liberator which has culminated in that MS paint """"Schematic"""" which is even less interesting that the "Email Kel-tec guy"

Its current ""form"" is a 9mm blowback carbine that takes Glock mags has a polymer body a free-float barrel.

Currently missing a trigger mechanism, Ejector, Bolt, Locking lugs, locking mechanism, spring and spring pressures, Actual barrels he is supposed to get or make that keeps the cost low and probably a thousand other details that are needed even to make basic firearms

Blowback designs don't need chamber locking mechanisms dipshit. It relies on the forces of the spring and friction to keep the bolt closed until the bullet exits the barrel.

I posted some pics up and made a good thread concerning my planned $400 semi auto sten based 9mm prototype and pepe liberator made some decent contributions to the thread.

I think hes reaching farther than he can grasp right now though by posting a neat dream without a protype or atleast some real substance to back it up.

I tossed him my email I use for interacting with various people on 4chan hoping we could collaborate and swap ideas but he never responded.

On the plus side some guy named Dave offered to send some free ammo for shooting demos in my upcoming youtube channel that I plan to chonicle the building of my refined 2nd prototype with, and thats pretty cool.

I should give out my email on 4chan more often!

You type like a retard and don't give details about your project. Nobody takes you seriously.

You've also had a chip on your shoulder since the start, I hope you succeed but fully expect you to fail. Maybe if you were actually transparent about the design instead of saying "NUH UH GUYS I TOTALLY HAVE THAT COVERED ACID ETCHED RIFLING HUH HUH" people wouldn't think you were such a jack ass and actually root for you.

I appreciate that, I also thought you had some good ideas, and hope we can work out whatever kind of misunderstanding that I think is taking place here.

"I think hes reaching farther than he can grasp right now though by posting a neat dream without a protype or atleast some real substance to back it up."

Everything I have posted is post creation. That is, anything anyone has ever seen, is being viewed weeks after it has already been done.

I'm not sure I'm understanding how it is that you have reached that conclusion. You don't know me, my team, our current level of development, the resources at our disposal, etc. I'm not even saying that to be a dick, but...if you are saying you think I'm beyond my reach...I'm interested to know how you drew that conclusion.

I'm not condemning or patronizing anyone here but I sure would like to know:

When designing or building a gun, how much goes into things like material science, strength, durability, etc. Like are all the minutia calculated beforehand? Each and every spring is calculated to be the exact length and load, each piece's material selected based on i dont even know what factors.

In gist I guess I'm asking for resources on the entire gun design and production process if anyone has any. Not because I want to build a gun or anything, but because I just want to see the scope of the process

You like Huey Lewis and the News?

Their early work was a little too new wave for my taste. But when Sports came out in '83, I think they really came into their own, commercially and artistically. The whole album has a clear, crisp sound, and a new sheen of consummate professionalism that really gives the songs a big boost. He's been compared to Elvis Costello, but I think Huey has a far more bitter, cynical sense of humor. In '87, Huey released this; Fore!, their most accomplished album. I think their undisputed masterpiece is "Hip To Be Square". A song so catchy, most people probably don't listen to the lyrics. But they should, because it's not just about the pleasures of conformity and the importance of trends. It's also a personal statement about the band itself. Hey, Anon!

Yes there will be, and they will cost a premium.

I mean no offense and I hope you don't mind my asking, what are your credentials? Or the credentials of your team?

>>32621782
not a gun engineer, but I'm a mechanical one.
most of the basic stuff like pressure, safety factors, required dimensions of parts can be easily calculated and simulated in CAD software. since guns are pretty old there are probably shitloads of pisseasy standards and factors use and follow.
springs are ezpz, just follow the standards.
these calculations will give requirements to the material quality and dimensions, and then you can basically read the spec sheets of different steels.
the challenging part would be designing the production and lifecycle.
since alot of unforeseen issues will show up, and its easy to fuck up without much experience

Some things yes, and some things no. Your ideals, and design concepts can be of unlimited scale, material, complexity, etc; but when it comes time to apply them in reality you have constraints such as time, money, etc.

Does that answer your question?

>>32621792

We had this exact same conversation in the last thread. You and I.

Of course they can. Too bad we aren't talking about a .50 BMG or even 5.56. You wouldn't be spouting this shit off if we were talking about .22, and you shouldn't be applying it to a low pressure pistol cartridge either.

>>32621803

Now that we have this settled, why don't you leave the threads alone seeing as how you don't want one, or have anything productive to add.

To be fair JMB had no formal engineering training and he was extremely successful.

I meant from more of a mechanical engineering standpoint. Number crunching of various loads, pressures, and tensions. How much of that is calculated (if so, how?) beforehand and how much is determined after making a prototype and gathering empirical data

At any rate, I support the endeavor. I suspect most of the criticism and flak you receive here is the seed of jealousy by those who possess no inspiration or determination to realize their own dreams
>>
>>32621861

That's why I said they weren't missing, because they were not part of the design. This retard will probably counter by saying I should have pointed that out "ha, gotcha!"

>To be fair JMB had no formal engineering training and he was extremely successful.
I'm not saying that you need to have a degree in order to successfully engineer something, but this kid never even picked up a book and doesn't know the first thing about designing something like this. He didn't even have an idea of what material he would use for a few threads.

You look like you can actually do some shit, though.
>>
>>32621876
>How much of that is calculated (if so, how?) beforehand and how much is determined after making a prototype and gathering empirical data
In 2017, almost all of it is calculated before a prototype is even built. CAE is very advanced specifically for this reason, prototyping can be very expensive in a lot of industries so you want to make sure it isn't a complete failure before you build one.

It's basically a cross between a San Cristobal carbine, an Uzi, and a RDB

Heres the le er at full travel. Because the lever multiplies the distance traveled by the bolt carrier compared to the bolt, opening is delayed and chamber pressure can reduce to safe levels before extraction.

Here's the bolt at full forward travel. Since the firing pin is attached to the bolt carrier it only requires one spring for the entire striker/recoil assembly. It's closed bolt, though, because the firing mechanism basically takes the rails out from under the lever. When this happens, the lever can rotate downwards ("locking") and the firing pin on the bolt carrier strikes the primer. Because the firing pin can't hit the primer unless the bolt carrier is all the way forward and the carrier can't be all the way forward unless the lever is all the way locked, it can't fire unless it's in battery.

>>
>>32621876

Oh ok, well the best way I could answer that is simply by saying: Bringing something to life, is a little bit of an art, and mostly a science.

For instance, the buffer spring. You can't just guess on the tension. I made an educated guess based on various resistances, net forces, etc. Will that work? We will see. But the point is that I did my best to put it into the ballpark, and with some luck...it will work.

Now, other people are going to tell you that I just admitted I don't know what I'm doing, but I do, and they will see that. There are many ways to skin a cat, my friend.

"At any rate, I support the endeavor. I suspect most of the criticism and flak you receive here is the seed of jealousy by those who possess no inspiration or determination to realize their own dreams"

The charging handles are ambidextrous and non-reciprocating. They are actually quite simple. The recoil guide rod runs through the bolt all the way to be he front of the gun. The charging handle is a tube around the guide rod centered. By the charging handle connector in the front and the trunnion in the back. This is a very simple and effective design. It would be prevented from rotating by the gun housing which isn't shown here.

The barrel would be held in like an Uzi. This allows for easy barrel swapping but I'm concerned about accuracy in terms of headspace. Since the headspace would be determined from the front of the barrel but the bolt would lock on the frame very far away , getting an accurate headspacing may be difficult or impossible. This isn't a problem for blowback guns because they don't have a bolt lockup and therefore don't have to worry about such things.

Ideally, this would be a highly modular gun. I would like the mag wells and furniture to be swappable by popping a few pins. That way, you could get .40 and 9mm barrels and mag wells and have easy application of aftermarket furniture through open interface specifications.

Aftermarket and modularity helps a lot with popularity, so making it as easy as possible for companies to make things for your product is imperative.

The extractor and ejector is a major challenge because the extractor has to be on the bottom of the bolt and therefore will be impacting cartridges and making a feed ramp difficult. Perhaps I could have two on either side of the bolt instead. The ejector has to travel the length of the bolt so it will impact the rear plate at full travel and knock the cartridge downwards. This has made it long, thin, and fragile. The pin that holds the firing pin and the bolt and carrier together makes adding an extractor difficult. Perhaps I could have folding/spring loaded extractors mounted on the frame or bolt carrier to unclutter the bolt. It's a challenge. Not shown is the dust cover for the ejection port. It is actuated by the bolt and spring loaded. Its curved surface means it will always be open when the bolt Is at full travel and extracting. I don't know if constantly opening and closing would cause issues.

Thank God for forgotten weapons. There is so much interesting information about firearm mechanisms and design. I used their pictures of the FAMAS bolt and San Christobal carbine for reference and inspiration. A roller delayed blowback system may have been more practical.

Will you still have parts kits available? I plan on purchasing the ban state model once that's ready, I just have a huge hard-on for parts kits.
>>
>>32622067
you should always keep production techniques in mind when making parts, I see it could use some fillets here and there to allow for better milling

I think you're making the extractor out to be a larger problem than necessary, what's wrong with a typical shrouded extractor on the right side of the bolt?
>>
>>32622014
> why would you assume that you know that?

Because ive been studying economics for over 5 years and accounting for the last 2; its one of the most basic truths of economics. You only become profitable at the point whereby the marginal overhead per unit produced is less than the profit contribution per unit. That means, after youve paid for all the workers, factory, machinery, electricity etc, you will need to produce enough guns to outweigh that fixed cost per unit. In laymans terms, if it costs you more money to produce that unit than you make from that unit, you are losing money on every unit.

The only way you overcome this is by having enough capital to take that hit, by being massively productively efficient (which only comes with trial & error and increasing productivity through investment in better machinery or better labour) and that only comes once you have produced and sold a good amount of units; again, once your marginal cost per unit is less than the profit contribution per unit, that is when you start making money and not losing it.

Thats why I assume I know that. Literally economics 101 for all startup businesses producing goods.

>>
>>32622126
So, in relation to my original post, you have 2 options:
1) Cost+ pricing - figure out the total cost in terms of fixed costs, variable costs and others, then add profit. This cost goes down the more you produce and the more efficient your production becomes, however I can almost guarantee the first units will be produced at a loss if you sell them for $100 per.
2) Fixed pricing: you sell each unit at the stated price of $100 independent of cost, and absorb the loss per unit until the point whereby you are making more money per unit than youre losing it.

Project is on indefinite hold for the time being as I've got a job and moved and lost interest and don't have facilities to prototype and experiment.

My current more practical and realistic desire is to make a SBR bullpup conversion for a PLR-16. It could probably be done and be about the same size and weight of a P90 except firing 5.56. if only it came in .300

The left side charging handle will have a tube guide around the gas tube and a bar with a hook that is above the bolt handle and grabs it close to the body. If I make a cheek rest/rail extension that goes on the top rail, it will come over the right side of the gun and act as a guide for the charging handle extension. The mag release should be a lever in front of the mag well that has a bar that actuates the mag release button. Trigger linkage will the the hardest part. Safety can just block trigger linkage so it can be in an ergonomic location near the trigger and front grip. It should have a P90 style ultra compact two handed grip. May end up being about the same size as a tavor x95

PLR costs less than $500 though
>>
>>32622160
Yeah ive realised my mistake, sadly you see it a lot with young startups, they have the passion but not necessarily the funds or fiscal planning. Hence why 50% of startups fail within their first year. Ah well, we'll see I guess, would love to be proven wrong.

Well unless your workers plan to work for free, you have a garage big enough for all the free gunsmithing machinery you somehow obtained, not to mention all the free materials, then I can guarantee that it wont matter what your price point is. All that stuff costs a lot of capital. So youre products will either have to absorb that cost in the pricing or you will have to absorb that cost. Sorry bud, no way around it. Just saying, not sure youve fully considered it. Unless you have a year long budgeted plan that you can sustain with $10,000 in which case youd be one of the best accountants ive ever seen.

>>32622122
It is going to eject downwards. That may work fine, usually the ejector opposes the extractor though. Dual extractors would prevent the case from ejecting sideways and possibly getting caught somewhere. Would have to rest it to see what works. Also, there's not a lot of oom in the bolt except for on the bottom due to the ejector and firing pin holes.

I've been trying to keep production in mind a much as possible but it's very much a rough draft. Clearances and tolerances would need to be established as they're not currently considered. I went to a sheet metal received model but I don't know if it was an improvement

You're basically doing the same thing as a hi point carbine but with memes that will be passe by the time you get your product to market. How.do you plan on competition with an established brand with much larger production capability and a more streamlined process? How is your product differentiated from theirs?

>>32622483
Because nothing puts off potential consumers more than a vague product description and no faith given by the percieved developer/manufacturer as to the specifications and requirements of the whole production operation. Like if mcdonalds said 'well...we'll get Billy to go kill some cows, chop em up or something, Jimmy will fry em, and thatll cost you...eh...um...10 bucks?' you wouldnt be too satisfied or comforted with the sincerity that they are actually going to deliver a decent product.

I'm
>>32622324

And it's because he won't even answer posts like mine asking basic questions like "why should I buy this", or "what evidence do you have that you can make this a reality"

/k/ has seen a bunch of failed products mainly because actual design and manufacturing are hard. /tg/ has a lot of successful products because making games requires practically no startup costs or specialized expertise and distribution on the internet is free. Rhodesian camo project, which only involved having some companies print a new pattern and make clothing to an existing design has taken forever. My first email from them is may 2013. They're just now talking about delivering the first order this February. How do you think actual arms production will turn out?
>>
>>32622525
but here is the question....what stake do you have in all of this?
>>
>>32622544
Why does someone have to have a stake in something to criticize OP for not knowing what he's doing?
>>
>>32622483
Because he couldn't answer questions because they were "secrets" or something, and he gets mad if you ask real questions regarding the project that may show a negative view of it.

So instead of saying
>thanks for asking, this part is not going so well for X reasons
He goes
>Well you just don't know why you're talking about we have a secret team working on that and no, I won't give any details. You're retarded.
He's a retarded prick. At least Unicorn Fucker was cool even if his project didn't work out, that guy gave details regarding where he acquired parts and diagrams.
>>
>>32622555
well why not give actual helpful advise to someone who is asking nothing of you, or is it you are just as clueless?
>>
>>32622544
Seeing as we are the largest and potentially only viable market, we have a stake in the outcome of the product as part of that marketable demographic.
>>
>>32622570
Because he doesn't want advise. He acts like he knows everything and doesn't give details that would allow for people to constructively criticize the project.
>>
>>32622570
He doesn't want advice, I don't want to give him free advice, and criticism is sort of advice.
>>
>>32622483
He's a cunt.
>>
>>32622483
If the guy behind it wasn't acting insulted all the time, I think a lot more people would be hype. Remember the excitement back when the VSS Vintorez project was active? A cheap, reliable gun is absolutely a plus for /k/. It's just that the guy's kind of a dick.
>>
Also, you guys are falling for this just as hard as that shit with the guy who was making a magical suppressive fire 5.7 a while back. I wouldn't be surprised if this is him rehashing it, the formula is exactly the same.
>>
>>32622581
yes but you can't want the product only to turn around and shoot down every aspect of its production, marketing, and strategy. you must have not wanted it to begin with at that point.
>>
>>32622613
We don't know anything about its production, marketing, or strategy.
>>
>>32622613
I personally dont want it, and even if I did, I dont live in the US, so the point is mute. However, /k/ posters in general will have a stake as they are the demographic it is being marketed to, and consumers of a potential product should be able to have some faith in the person or firm producing the product. Even then, most of the criticisms shown in this thread are not just unfounded hating, they are legitimate questions that the producer is intentionally being vague, dismissive or downright rude about, and that is not how you act if you actually want people in your only viable market to buy your product.
>>
If this actually reaches production, I'd buy a few.
>>
>>32622667
even so, killing the project before any sort of prototype has been unveiled seems very counter productive, if and when he wants input is when people should give it to him
>>
>>32622720
No, it seems very counter productive to be dismissive of every concern of your prospective buyers and to act like a dick to them

If he wasn't such an asshole and provided enough proof (which isn't a lot) that I believed in the project, I'd stop calling him a retard.


If he comes back to his thread he's just going to respond to 10 people in one post without actually saying anything important.

>>32622525
I mean he is still in production and every time this come up he is just berated.

You have a basic level of decency so it's going to you.

The production runs will initially comprise of 100 units, which will take roughly 2 to 3 weeks to build. This will continue until about the 2k unit range, and production will be rescaled.

There are 2 primary members of my team besides myself. One is an aerospace engineer at a prestigious public university, the other works with guns on a daily basis. They are both integral to the project and have caused its acceleration. I would pass on the discussion of our roles, it's not something I'm at liberty to discuss.

The barrels are 316 stainless, they are rifled using a non chemical process in house, in a semi proprietary manner. This is one of the keys to a low overhead, which also makes it valuable to remain hidden. Sorry, not sorry.

the saddest part about these threads is that everytime some casual is gonna click on it, read about 5 posts and be like AYY FREE GUN GIMME GIMME

>>
>>32623081
Assuming all of you are working full time for 3 weeks, that's 3.6 man hours per gun. Assuming all of you are working completely efficiently and only making $15 an hour (not that you'd be able to hire experienced machinists for that money) labor costs are about $55 a gun. Barrel blanks were $40. So you're at $95 and you haven't even got half the materials and have paid none of the start up costs. H
What were you going to make the body of the gun out of? It looked like plastic. Does anyone have experience with injection moulding?

I think the idea is great, I think you just might have posted a bit too early is all.

I believe its possible and that you got some good stuff worked out, but without protypes or atleast a good machine draft a lot of other folks are gonna have their doubts.

Dont want you to feel im ripping on the idea itself.
>>
>>32623249
I'm the guy that posted the other design up the thread, but if I were doing this it would just be a tube section gun where the tube is the stock, with a barrel pinned in place, a basic striker fired bolt and ridiculously simple trigger group that can be laser/water cut.
Big coil spring behind the bolt, bolt orientation controlled by charging handle. Buffer in the center of the recoil spring to prevent disassembly without removal. I don't know much about the grease gun but basically a striker fired grease gun because open bolts are not going to be approved.
I don't know what could be cheaper or simpler. Put it in a fancy plastic shell if necessary.

Dunno why this is so complicated and OP needs to be so secretive. It will look like a garage gun and even worse than a luty but what do you expect for $200?

Was going to design it around a Glock magazine. But the mag well would be able to be swapped out so if a mag well could be made for other mags that functioned reliably with the same feed ramp and bolt, it could use those.

Mocking up the magazine in SOLIDWORKS was challenging. I'm not trained in modelling or reverse engineering so modelling it accurately enough to design accurately around it may be beyond me. It's not an open standard. I had some calipers and a protractor and did the best I could.

This also shows some of the sheet metal design that an anon warned me against. The lever/sear release mechanism was changed as well. It now slides forward rather than pushing something outwards to the side. It means a longer travel and probably a worse trigger. The design is less complicated and bulky though

You might want to come up with your own magazine for this purpose, it would give you much more flexibility. The Glock magazines would probably leave people wanting for capacity, anyway.

>>32625191
Magazines are one of the hardest parts of a firearm to get right and to manufacture. Theyre also one of the largest causes of malfunction. By choosing a common, cheap magazine I avoid most of those problems. Perhaps I could make an extender like Kriss does for their vector. That would be relatively easy, Id just need the extender portion and a spring.

>>32625284
It would probably be easier if I used a double stack magazine like that, but I'd prefer to not have to manufacture mags if there's something already proven and available on the market. If I design around a double stack mag it would be harder to accommodate other single stack magazines. If it were to ever go I to production and get mag wells for different manufacturers mags, that is.

No shit, I worked for the forest service when the "reintroduction" was happening.

Native wolf populations were low and actually healthy, plus the native grey-wolf species was about 1/3rd the size of the arctic timber-wolves they started dumping in people's back yards.

Timber wolves not only eat way more, they range over huge territories. A pack of timber wolves dumped in yellow-stone can disappear and pop back up 500-600 miles away 6 weeks later.

On top of that healthy population was set at 1500 breeding pairs and now we got too many to accuratley count beyond a vague "probaly around 4,000 breeding pairs."

Whole thing was a money grub by the forest service's biology department. They denied concrete evidence from locals that we DID have native wolf populations, state legislature denied permission to dump non-native timber wolf species, so the feds used a loop hole and started dumping them off on federal land in wyoming.

Within 6 months they were popping up in far eastern montana slaughtering herds of livestock and stalking hikers in western montana.

State opened up hunting on them, but its not enough, feds deny ranchers damage claims when 6 wolves annhilate 400 head of cattle in a night, and the forest service wants to use our tax dollars to pay people 6 figure salaries to go trap and remove the invasive species that THEY dumped here.

They got paid to fuck up our states ecology, then get paid to clean it up. Big suprise, they are dragging it out so they can keep the high salaries and grant funding going indefinitely, so they arent really cleaning it up.

I may or may not set snare sets for "coyotes" in areas I know a pack of wolves like to roam. If a few wolves end up getting strangled to death in my "coyote" sets, well oopsie, guess the 3 S's apply
(Shoot, shovel, shut up)
Or rather strangle, shovel, shut up.

Truly amazed that the anti-gun shills are coming out of the wood work several weeks later to pick on a simple 9mm DIY it.
The danger is real, you dispense more freedom and more guns available, they will keep going after the originator.
I seriously doubt that some regular /k poster would continue to pick on a simple plan/kit using combined tech that most have overlooked.
If you don't like it, don't buy it. Simple free market.
Were they that butt hurt that a 9mm pistol carbine is such a challenge to their AR or AK? Nah, pistol carbines in the AR/AK sub $500 have been around for a while.
It's not the dollar amount, or the slight bubba-try of the operation. He gets it DONE.
Better than the talking heads who don't have any skillz to even fix their house with hand tools. Of course if it can't be dildo whacked, then it's someone else's problem.
Fucking ant-gunners can't put the rock down and then try to dildo smack talk with their rant two weeks later since the last posting my the originator.

This motivates others to help the PL9 and whatever else he has going.

You guys think everyone is just bashing him for no reason, even thinking this is some kind of epic anti-gun conspiracy? Ever thought maybe things happen for a reason?

In the first thread made for this project(yeah that's right this isn't a new idea where every anti gun boogeyman jumped on the hating boat on the first sight), there were a lot more positive feedback, encouragement, and anticipation. While the original poster didn't seem very knowledgeble about firearms, which is fine on its own, it didn't take very long before the "pepe liberator" starts calling people retarded, childish, telling everyone who isn't sucking his dick to fuck off, and actually replied with memes, all while taking himself very seriously. He would type like a redditor, going all HAHA DUDE BRO SHITS GONNA BE SO GOOD DUDE LIKE REVOLUTIONARY FUCKING CLEVER MAN MEMES AMRITE I WAS BORN TO MEME LOL XD
This is the guy who claims to be building homemade firearms for sale, let that sink in for a bit.

And then here's this thread, if you are still too fucking dense to see the problem, just look at how many times a legit, well thought critism, helpful advice or potential customer concerns and questions gets shot down with "lol you know nothing i got this shit in the bag its top secret fuck off if you dont believe"

I'm really not sure why they thought that design was good, never mind that awful craftsmanship. Is a conventional trigger not simple enough?

So far what they've shown is sub prototype level, I've seen nicer products assembled as a proof of concept.
