QUOTE(Polaris @ Mar 20 2010, 10:42 PM) This is a topic that tests your grasp of several related disciplines, Question: Design a gun that has the same offensive capabilities of your regular field firearm, but instead of bullets, it uses water as ammo. How do you propel water with the same destructive velocity of a bullet? if you can propel a liquid with such velocity as bullet, why not use it to propel solid object with more mass? you get much more damage out of it.

QUOTE(fyire @ Mar 20 2010, 11:29 PM) to avoid leaving solid evidence behind? i think it is more likely to be trace back to the killer, since such high tech weapon will be expensive and only small number of manufacturer able to made then. while guns and bullet are every where.

QUOTE(NicJolin @ Mar 21 2010, 04:56 PM) This wouldn't be easy to do, sounds easy but not. You need the metal to stay in a very well disperse form as metal is very dense compare to water and tends to sink to the bottom before the water get frozen. To achieve this, you need, extremely fast freezing which is not easily achieve and the process would be costly as you'd need to source out the correct chemicals to do so (something like liquid nitrogen?) and a very good insulating vessels. The other method can be done is through solid-liquid colloidal suspension, which you need to source the correct surfactant for it and grinding of the metal to very fine dust, which...is more or less as difficult as the former method. And ... If the purpose of making such weapon is to eliminate any traces after using it, then adding any substance into the water to enhances it physical resistance to heat and impact would not be ideal as those substances would become uncommon and more likely lead to getting trace back after all plus the process of sourcing out the apparatus and chemicals to do such a weapon makes you even easier to get trace back, which is not ideal at all. Might as well use a normal gun. if it was to cause as much damage as hollow point bullet, i should shatter on impact thus causing massive damage to organ. anyway using exotic weapon will not be ideal if you want to hide your identity, you are more likely to be track down then a black market or stolen gun.
