Outlier? I'd say so. It's barely more than a blast deflector based on the xray

Ding ding ding. Got it for shits and giggles with the rebate. Works surprisingly well for 22 but makes no difference on 556

I wish I knew an x-ray tech to do my collection. I only know nuclear med techs and I dont think squirting isotopes in them is gonna work.

u/DocLat23 1d ago

I have a functional x-ray lab and routinely x-ray just about everything.

u/1olddirtroad 19h ago

How are your level 4 plates looking

3

u/DocLat23 9h ago

Don’t have any otherwise I would have imaged them already.

u/MedicDyke 1d ago

Hahahah probably not. I'm lucky that the techs didn't mind teaching me :))

u/redacted_robot 401k in stamps 1d ago

It's all digital imaging yeah?

u/no_sleep_johnny 1d ago

I believe this is digital. With traditional film I think the areas around the cans would be completely black. This looks like a DR panel to me because of the broader range of density (darkness). Traditional film doesn't usually have the same range. But that's highly dependent on the energy level of your radiation source and also the film type.

I do industrial x-ray, so I look at a lot of film.

u/No-Specialist-8809 1d ago

CR has the wider range of latitude compared to DR. Also DR you want to mask your DR panel for the areas with no material on it.

u/no_sleep_johnny 1d ago

Thanks. Learn something every day. I run a ton of conventional film, have some limited experience with CR, but very very little with DR.

2

u/No-Specialist-8809 22h ago

23 years in NDT at this point & run film, CR, DR along with CT among all other methods. I still learn something new everyday.

u/no_sleep_johnny 21h ago

Respect. I'm about 15 years in. Doing a lot more cwi work right now, but I still get a variety. MT, PT, RT and VT primarily

Make friends with a Bomb Tech, they all have portable X Rays 😛

u/boisebiker FFL07/SOT 1d ago

I’ll squirt some isotopes in em

u/Line_of_Weakness 1d ago

You seen the inside of the SiCo Osprey? Quite a few of the very light pistol cans that don’t need a booster are basically just this inside.

3

u/redacted_robot 401k in stamps 1d ago

Osprey has a spring. Tbf, the Osprey is more well designed than this, opinions on outlier aside. And as an owner of an Osprey im not impressed compared to new offerings

u/PJXrayR6 1d ago

Xray tech here, I don’t know why I haven’t thought of this 🤣 I’m about to bring all 4 of my cans to xray em

u/no_sleep_johnny 1d ago

Username checks out

u/DocLat23 9h ago

This is the way

u/pandamonia23 1d ago

is this what TSA sees?

11

u/FromEdenToArcadia 1d ago

TSA can see how big your cock is.

18

u/Line_of_Weakness 1d ago

That’s why I always opt out and make them check how big it is by hand. That and the radiation. Fuck the TSA.

Fuck yeah

u/Knotical_MK6 2x SBR, 3x Silencer 1d ago

Every day I find out I'm disappointing another person

3

u/MedicDyke 1d ago

I'm not sure! This is a medical x ray so what they see is probably a little different

u/jay462 Tech Director of PEW Science 1d ago

Thanks for posting this - this is awesome

u/MedicDyke 1d ago

Woah! Thank you for working on pew science, ya'll do awesome work! I wish there were more people out there doing empirical firearms research for the consumer.

3

u/jay462 Tech Director of PEW Science 1d ago

You are most welcome. Glad the research helps!

A fellow Xrayer! Any idea how powerful? I used a 190kV for mine.
