I think not. It's interesting to see inside.

If you carry a gun, people call you paranoid. Nonsense! If you carry a gun, what do you have to be paranoid about?

I got a chuckle out of the "M14 EBR" caption to one of the photos.
Yes, I know it stands for Enhanced Battle Rifle. That's not what it means around here!

Re: X-ray of guns deglamorizes their appeal?
I mentioned in a post about reloading that I used to own an Xray company
Here is an Xray I took of a few of my guns from the 80s
Points to folks who can guess the models ...
Its a picture of an OLD 14x17 film xray backlit by my Dell Monitor and photographed with an IPhone so the quality has suffered some
Looks like I over exposed the wood grips on the revolver ... Too many KV of power used ...
I wasnt doing it to deglamorize - i was doing it cause it was cool ..
Its clear I should have taken the image with the magazines in the pistols and a round in the chamber

Beretta 92 (who'd have guessed you had one of those?), Browning Buckmark, and dunno about the revolver.92f-fan wrote:I mentioned in a post about reloading that I used to own an Xray company

Re: X-ray of guns deglamorizes their appeal?
In looking at the artist images they have to be CGI to some degree - or layers from separate images
you cant expose the poly stock and see the bullet INSIDE the barrel with the same energy level of Xray ...
Very cool looking
I wonder if he is selling prints
here is a cool non gun related image
again - has to be CGI

The M60 has a flash hider available too but...LAYGO wrote:Same thing I noticed. The funnel end of the MG42 being the thing that tipped me off.RogueUSMC wrote:They have the MG42 and the M60 mixed up...
The biggest clue is that the M60 is gas operated and the MG42 isn't...
