Ok, now whats your position on this article? someone please have a good first post to start this up.

Too bad, I’m going to do it anyway. :P
It just goes to prove what everybody already knew: you can find anything via the internet if you look. I’m kind of surprised nobody had an already completed Tomahawk for sale. Presumably he also was able to build a launcher, but does it have a warhead on it?
It might come in handy sometime.
Well- this isn’t too suprising. Dr. Goddard wrote the book on 20th century rocketry without the internet. I’m suprised it hadn’t happened sooner
For some reason I am skeptical about it’s effectiveness. I mean, c’mon, a freakin’ cruise missile? How do we know it’s not just a shitload of metal wrapped around some dynatmite or C-4? In any event, this guys pretty nuts. :P
yea, im inclined to think he just made some kind of metal tube filled with explosive. a cruis missile is a sophisticated piece of technology. even if he could make something with a comparable warhead, wouldnt it have to have the sophisticated targeting and computer systems to go along with it, to make it a cruise missile?
i’ve been tempted to do this from time to time.
I mean, it seems pretty handy, especially in a scaled down format.
“my neighbour’s an idiot” - cruise his ass
“that guy cut me off” - “” " "
“America is pissing me off” - “” " "
etc.
CC, that last one seemed pretty Anti-American, but you already said your not… explain please…
And no ive read this before… it, technology wise was about the equivelent of a tomahawk with a shortened range…

I’m going with, it was a joke. I mean come on, think about it. Anyone who’s against owning a gun wouldn’t be for having a cruise missile now, would they?

rotf - lmfao
you guys are great.
Can’t you tell? I’m anti-abortion, anti-capital punishment, anti-gun, anti-war, anti-missle, anti-bomb, pro-life, pro-health, pro-children.
anti-gun, anti-war, anti-missle, anti-bomb…
Well, yeah, there’s not too much need for bombs and missiles outside war, now is there?
lol this is more humourous than the whole gun control thread.
I’m more pro choice on abortion. In fact, with the exception of anti-war, im about the exact opposite of you.
I hate to bring this thread back on topic, but I happen to have read some about this guy. The article linked above is a bit misleading. What he is building is basically a German V1 with a modern GPS guidance system. It is a pulse jet engine strapped on the back of a gas tank, guidance system and a space made to hold about 20 kilo’s of what ever you wish. I couldn’t build one myself, but if I wanted to I would just look up the information at the library, then I could.
The guy is what you might call an eccentric backyard inventor who specializes in pulsejets. The point he was trying to make was that a terrorist could do this if they wanted to.
The problem with his concern is that, contrary to what the article above states a pulse jet rocket is not ballistic. In fact its quite slow and it would be blown out of the sky long before if reached a target within the US. Now Canada might be in trouble, that is if some one was actually interested in bombing them. The US has quite a sophisticated defence system against this type of thing.
