I don't know if this is even possible but it seems like you could
require particularly ominous weapons like assault rifles to
undergo a bath of some kind of radiation. This radiation
would be uniform and would allow security personnel to
detect these weapons at a long range.

Make the bullets out of sortof not-quite-deleted uranium? |

Dont be deterred by the 'bad physics' comments. Theyre
just jealous of your idea, which would solve all of the
problems of assault weapons being in the hands of hillbilly
types in an instant. Having said that, I'm going to have to
add this fishbone for more personal reasons [-] Bad
breathe. |

Nor do I, but a remarkable degree of consensus seems to be
developing. |
|
|
//..detect these weapons at a long range.//
To be detectable at long range, it will probably need to be rather a lot of radiation, which would be dangerous/deadly for the person holding the gun.
So, win-win! |

I'm going to retract my bone and give you a bun because I
don't want to feel like I'm piling on. |
|
|
[+] Because you seem like a nice
person. (Not a great idea though.) |

Im taking back my bone too. The breathe has improved. |
|
|
[-] So, you idiots are fine with an idea that |
|
|
a) won't work, but
b) if it did work, would cause your soldiers to sicken and die, and...
c) if they managed to survive, would be easily spottable by the enemies of your country, by design ? |
|
|
Oh, and of course "assault weapon", because obviously the HB needs more deliberate abuse of language. |
|
|
Baked, more or less. See link, and 'Gulf War Syndrome'. |

Soldiers in Iraq were exposed to anti-nerve-agent PB pills, actual nerve agents, anthrax vaccines and burning oil. They were also using 'dirty bullets' and explosives made with depleted fissionable material. Dastardly, but true. Detectable with the right detectoring equipment, perhaps. |

I got a C in college classical physics. So I guess I don't
understand much. |
|
|
Don't feel bad about it, [lepton]; just take the help file's advice and
write about what you know. |
|
|
//So, you idiots are fine with an idea that// |
|
|
Putting a bone or a bun on a website that discusses
silly ideas has absolutely no meaning whatsoever.
Yes, absolutely fine with that. |
