I masturbate to Matthew Bracken books and long to kill black people. Also I leave guns laying around for criminals to steal.

maybe not so much Tacticlol, but i think it falls into the "Just because you can doesn't mean you should" category.

Hell I'm planning to do it with a EOtech on a 12GA M1887, except not with whatever the hell is going on with that barrel, mine is going to be ported though.

Levers with Optics are awesome.

I was unsure about that trijicon. But I believe I am firmly in the awesome category atm regarding this. It is hard sometimes. He wants 10k sek for it or 1500$, this would include suppressor trijicon gun some ammo etc. Also no atf hassle in Sweden with suppressors.

I am tempted.

Someone posted a newspaper photo a while ago of a cop in Europe with a Marlin .45-70 sporting a suppressor & red dot, ostensibly used for dangerous animal control. Needless to say it was quite fantastic.

It's been done. And I want to do the same to mine. Load up some 500 grain Hornadys to subsonic speeds, it'd be awesome.

Note: Not my .45-70. But I wish it were.

Is this really a thing now? I saw a TV commercial for a metal wallet that claimed the same thing.

Why pay money for a cheap piece of plastic like that when wrapping your wallet in tinfoil keeps ZOG from stealing your credit card number just as well? Whatever happened to the DIY spirit in the schizophrenic community

I bought one of those steel weave RFID-proof wallets because it looks cool. My apartment uses RFID keycards. I keep the card in my wallet. The card works without taking it out of the wallet.

Should have gone with the brass weave.

Wouldn't it also have to be grounded to properly work as a Faraday cage?

Yeah, but the bits of my brain that go "WHY NO WORKS WALLET

I don't even have any RFID credit cards, I just thought the steel weave was neato.

Wait, so you're saying those wallets that they issue with passports to block the RFID chip from people in the airport with hand-scanners don't work? Or do you have to clip it to yourself to ground it or something?

And I remembered reading about Richard Stallman using tinfoil to cover an RFID-chipped security card at some event or another. Was that just symbolic, or what?

US Passport cards ship in a foil lined sheath.

I'm a little rusty on electromagnetic radiation but I believe foil is much more effective at blocking it than woven metal fiber is. Neither would need to be grounded but they would work better if they were.
