So I've been working on a proof-of-concept in my spare time (basically just a target you click on with a mouse and it makes a bullet hole and a bang, and read the image stream from the webcam). Performance is satisfactory in Linux, however on my much more powerful Windows box, it's annoyingly...

1) Stop being fat 2) Finish my AK Build 3) Stock up on ammo 4) Go hunting

I do have a student edition from when I took my Measurement and Automation class, but I've gone back and forth on using LabVIEW or OpenCV. LabVIEW is powerful and would be relatively quick to build up, but it's not as portable, and licensing is expensive (compiling an executable stores the...

Haven't gotten around to it yet. The software side of things I'd be able to develop pretty quickly I think (I'm a software engineer), the hard part is convincing the wife that I need a projector and an $80 laser, lol. I've done some work in the past with the small 5mm laser modules when I tried...

I run the Federal 9mm +P+ 115gr JHPs (9BPLE). My dad bought me a box a little while back and I like em, they're pretty cheap too. I got mine from CTD, but looks like they don't sell em anymore. Looks like I'll have to bend over and pay for the HSTs next time :(

luckily, on the mosin, the bolt head is a separate piece, the bolt is in 3 sections with the bolt handle being on a sleeve, although I have read to take care not to overheat the ramp area. I've read that it's not good to weld stainless with an O/A torch, but have seen several people do it...

I'm installing the ATI bolt handle/scope rail on my MN 91/30. I got the original bolt handle cut down and I'm getting ready to drill and tap the hole for the screw, but I don't like the idea of having it supported by 1 screw, so I'll probably drill and tap a second screw or pin it on for more...

I had an idea similar to this recently: -Project an image up on the wall with a PC -Shoot at the image with one of those laser cartidges that turn on the laser with a firing pin strike -Point a webcam at the projection, hooked up to the same PC, running OpenCV or LabVIEW to track the laser...

Yep, he was a shelter adoption, so he was neutered when I got him (2 mo old pup). Now that I think about it, his behavior isn't that surprising considering he has no balls....

First, it was the birds he would just sit and watch while they ate his food, now this morning, we saw a rat run up and start pillaging his food bowl, while he just sat and watched... Oh, and he's a beagle/black lab mix, which makes it even more ironic, lol

yeah, things like the arc on an AK from the safety lever and dings on your AR brass deflector are a badge of honor, gives the gun character

Fastest I've gone was 110 in my old Mustang, damn governor...

I can't wear contacts for more than about 4 hours at a time. My eyes are really dry and after a couple hours the contacts feel like gravel. Might get laser surgery in a few years when I'm making the medium bucks...

Thanks guys! Lookin forward to learnin a lot and havin some fun

IPSC probably to get my feet wet, then i figure I'll try out some practical rifle/3 gun. I've got a Beretta 92 and holster, just need to get a mag case and a decent belt.

Hey guys, I've been a lurker for a while, just decided to finally join because OSA's been kinda stupid lately. I like building things (guns and electronics mostly), I'm about halfway through an AK build right now. Never shot competitively, but looking to change that in the near future. Anyway...
