    the main concern in the eyes of the government is tracking, autonomous aircraft can go from point a to point b which isnt that bad as an unguided aircraft can as well just less accurate. But a laser guided system can track a target and follow, which can be easily converted to an anti air system. The law is kinda vague but its like that for a reason as they can choose case by case what to prosecute, but basically summed up you should not make an airborne object that has any form of a seeker on it, ie IR,laser,radar etc. By all means do what you want but just be aware of the consequences.

    You'd have to look into specific federal laws regarding guided weaponry, I'd give you a link if I could find the specific law but Google isn't playing ball today.

    I really think you should do a bit more research before going ahead with your project. Maybe consult a lawyer.

    I'd also like to point out that this might classify under ITAR, meaning if your team happens to include people outside the USA you could be in deep shit. Like millions in fines kind of deep shit. Alot of technology falls under ITAR, especially anything to do with thermal/IR optics.

    When I looked into this, I was looking into IR bore sighting for Estes rockets and was cleaning as much info as I could from hobby rocketry forums. A guy there was developing a 0ython based quadrant sighting system. 0eople there were warning hom about stepping afoul of ITAR or possibly some FAA regulation that stated only sun tracking was allowed for autonomous aircraft (ie a multi stage rocket). It's possible that. Or if such regulation exists, it's also possible that many hobbyist flyers are simply unaware. https://www.rocketryforum.com/threads/guidance-control-now-legal.180445/[This](https://www.rocketryforum.com/threads/guidance-control-now-legal.180445/) is where I saw them discussing it.

    Curious, what law states that it’s illegal to have IR tracking on an aircraft? I’ve seen YouTube videos of ppl flying fpv drones or ppl designing autonomous drones that flying A to B. What makes mine different?

    It's illegal to put IR tracking for any other object than the sun on an aircraft for civilians.

    Hmm, I'd still be very careful about how you go about it.

    I imagine "laser guided drone" would be fairly synonymous with a guided munition in the eyes of the ATF.

    This isn’t and will never be a munition of any kind. This is a drone that instead of using a joystick to control it will use lasers

    100% agree with this. This is a guidance control problem first, a legality nightmare second, and an embedded dev exercise last. OP, I'd love to help with this but it's dancing a bit too close to federal no-nos for me. I salute you nonetheless.

All my gun does is shoot once then jam to where the casing is still in the barrel and I can't pull my slide back at all to reset I have to slide my slide lock lever down and take the slide off then manually push the empty casing out. I switched ejectors and ran into the same problem Im kinda lost here if anyone has advice , tip or been thru something like this plz let me know what I should do

    the wiring schematic is done pending review by a few people much smarter than myself. as requested by the community it is applicable to any AC powered convection ovens/air fryer/whatever you come up with. I also abandoned the idea of wire nuts entirely, opting for female spade connectors and wago style lever connectors. Though i will say you absolutely should not use wagos in the chamber of the oven or exposed near the heat coils, they are safer and easier to use than wire nuts. with a slightly higher cost. I have created a .stl for a control box that i will publish. I will attach screenshots of the materials used. If you have family that is handy they more than likely have a set of wire strippers you can borrow that has the crimper for spade connectors built in. its not the best and you absolutely need to che

    Finished the Ranch Rifle build and looking for some sights of some kind. I’ve yet to find a set of “irons” I really like. The flip ups seem to be especially finicky.

    Just curious if anyone has “go-to” printed sights they really like.

    This will just be for backyard plinking at 50-75 yards so really not looking to move one of my scopes over to it.

    Tried 2 sets of DD rails, printed upright with the top parallel to the bottom in polylite. Also did a bb26 recently, went together smooth but couldn’t get the flared magwell to fit the bottom, flared magwell fits fine on this one, is it the model or my printer? Debating on choosing a different model or just trying this one again, I’m a huge fan of the bb series though
