It wouldn't be a good idea for a battle but you fill the gun, which will be small and made of light weight metals or plastics, with hydrogen. Just enough to let the gun float when it's out of amo. The gun will then be strapped to your arm and let you know when your out of amo.
So if anyone knows if
hydrogen or helium can be permenantly incased or not please comment.

Is this just a way of indicating to the gunman that he needs to reload, or is it useful in some other way? |
|
| |
Lets you test whether a gun is loaded without having to fire it. |
|
| |
//is it useful in some other way?// |
|
| |
Informs the other person who's pointing a gun at you, that your shooter is empty, or at least ready to fire off a sabot of helium rounds. "Darn 'es shoot me vocal chords" |
|

"So if anyone knows if hydrogen or helium can be permenantly incased or not please comment" - not. Not only do both leak out of just about everything, the weight of the encasing totally offsets any small lift. |
|
| |
Make the gun out of composite materials - you can probably already build a floating gun without any magical technology. |
|
| |
But why do you want a floating gun in the first place - keep dropping yours in the swamp? |
|
| |
The Armalite MA-1 floated when in its knocked-down state. with all components stored in the stock. |
|
| |
"Put your gun down and kick it over here.
... Are you deaf? I said put the gun down!" |
|
| |
"Leave the gun ON THE GROUND now or I'll open fire" |
|
| |
I'm pretty sure the idea is to have the gun float in atmosphere, not liquid water. |
|
| |
Tie a large helium balloon to it. (Okay, your enemy might decide to shoot the balloon, but that's one shot less aimed at you, right?) |
|
| |
I sincerely doubt that even the most advanced composite technology can create a gun that is strong enough to be fully functional, and float, unless it has a small weather balloon attached to it. Borderline bad science. |
|
| |
How about floating bullets, then? You wouldn't have to aim above your target because the helium in the bullet would keep it in the air. |
|
| |
[imaginality] - there could be something to that :-D |
|
| |
Weather balloons are sometimes confused for alien spacecraft, so just put some LED lights on the underside and paint it in shiny metallic colors. while they stare in awe at the aliens, you can shoot them. |
