I know aramid is used to make fiber, i am trying to see if it is used to make hard plastics. The stacking of the aromatic rings and hydrogen bonding between polymer chains makes this stuff a very strong plastic. injection molding carbon fiber and aramid resin may make a great shroud for the rifle.<br /><br />With the shroud, you would need a piston operated rifle to keep heat from building up in the chamber, as heat will weaken the aramid.<br /><br />about the hydraulic trigger, i was looking at the actual trigger on the ar-15 as a "lever arm." If you put a force at the very tip of the trigger, it takes less energy to actuate the mechanism, as opposed to where your finger sits in the trigger when you pull it. By making the lever arm a little longer, you would need less force to actuate the trigger. So the idea of a hydraulic mechanism becomes more plausible or possible.<br /><br />This is all just the musing of an amateur, but some times amateurs get lucky.<br /><br />sincerely<br /><br />cheddarman<br /><br /> cheddarmannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6768209.post-89194042826318565532014-05-18T08:59:57.167-07:002014-05-18T08:59:57.167-07:00Thank you Res, I appreciate your answer.Thank you Res, I appreciate your answer.John Williamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01077793417700366871noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6768209.post-9305263655032596912014-05-17T23:06:12.955-07:002014-05-17T23:06:12.955-07:00ajw308,

Battery, temperature issues, can't handle the repeated shock, overall reliability, etc.<br /><br />Meh, they'll never catch on... <br /><br />The question of an electronic trigger is can you overcome those types of issues from a design, weight, complexity, and cost standpoint. Because if you could, you might have the sweetest trigger on the block as far as weight, creep, stacking, etc goes.<br /><br />This might even be more applicable to a bullpup with the need for a longer linkage.<br /><br />Being able to use conventional ammo is leaps and bounds ahead of what Remington was doing.<br /><br />And you are right to a point, Nate.

There was nothing wrong with the system, but most people aren't going to buy it because your gun would be locked into remington ammo and wouldn't use regular stuff. <br /><br />The military uses something similar on 20 mm. <br /><br />Again, there was nothing wrong with it, and in theory is is superior to what we have. It was just so radical that nobody bought it. <br /><br />If I remember correctly, they put it in a skinny barreled sporter so that any improvements in accuracy would not be noticed. <br /><br />So typical, as Remington has come up with some very good stuff over the years and they botch the roll out every single time.

Just a concept.<br /><br />A goal of mine is to be able to use an existing ar-15 as a basis for building a bullpup rifle from a kit from the ground up. It would be hard to make a decent mechanical trigger linkage to the existing trigger assembly, so why not something like a hydraulic system? Hydraulics are generally robust in nature.<br /><br />I think an electronic trigger would be hard for a lot of people to accept. <br /><br />I am thinking about a housing you can fit on the exisitng AR upper to guard your face against a catastrophic failure/explosion/ammo detonation, using carbon fiber, maybe impregnated with aramid resin?<br /><br />Your thoughts, everyone?<br /><br />Sincerely,<br /><br />cheddarman<br /><br /><br />cheddarmannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6768209.post-60805160865150050152014-05-15T07:45:07.418-07:002014-05-15T07:45:07.418-07:00La Bomba Warhead - $6.50 a stick shipped.
