Fully Atomic Rifle

[Bigguy]

OK, somebody shooting at a woman and her kids isn't funny. But ya gotta wonder if there's more to this story. A "Fully atomic" rifle.

I think that the Little Boy weapon is the closest that we'll ever get to a Fully Atomic Rifle.

My understanding was that the barrel of Little Boy was fabricated from a NSCW Dahlgren naval rifle barrel, buuuttt I'm pretty sure it was a smoothbore (although I could be wrong!) by the time it was dropped on Hiroshima.

Autocorrect strikes again.

Phased plasma rifle in the 40 watt range, perhaps?

There was the M65 'Atomic Annie' 280mm cannon, but I suspect this is different.

Dad was stationed at Ft. Sill where they had one on display at the museum.

Hey, just what ya see pal.

Assuming her story is true, the perpetrator deserves prosecution (assault with a deadly weapon, possibly felon in possession given the mention of a parole officer?), but man I wish the apparent victim didn't make me so conflicted. I both feel bad for her and for her child and want to make a bunch of derisive comments to make fun of her.

GlobalSecurity indicates three types of nuclear rounds, and one type of conventional HE round. Perhaps the M65 is therefore “Fully Semi-Atomic”? I couldn’t find mention of, but I suspect, that there may be many shoulder things going up on that piece.:D

A Fully Atomic Rifle is something I’d expect Wile E to purchase from Acme or Marvin’s issued long gun.

Well, we're clearly on the same wavelength, Coyotesfan97

:cool:

If the dingbat shot at me, I'd probably think it was atomic.

[Hambo]

Don't any of you guys read military history? Fully atomic, 2800 meter shot.

Glad I saw this thread. I was just about to put good money down on a semi atomic rifle. Didn't know the fully atomic ones were available to civilians. Whewww......
