No, they're not sabots

We are good on materials sourcing, just jacket issues. I think I can see the light at the end of the tunnel on that, but I've felt that before, so I'm just cautiously optimistic about it.

DIY manual/docs/CAD were published last year and can be found on Odysee. You can turn the jackets and cores. Maybe you can print them, but printers, even SLA, struggle to deliver the tolerances we'd like to see for this.

One of the capstone projects we are sponsoring is to set the GG3 up as a capable lathe. That work will be released once the group has completed and presented their results.

[Atlas Arms Manufacturing @AtlasArmsMfg]

We are still around. The Dagger manual is online and available to any and all who want to DIY it.

The delays are in commercial manufacture. Injection molding has been a nightmare for a multitude of reasons, but we believe it's the best way to make these truly affordable to all, so we are sticking with it, and we are getting close (yeah, I get it).

We are sponsoring 3 engineering capstone courses this year that are related to DIY /thing/ development/mfr, the results of which will be made available to the public upon course completion.

We have several other projects in the works, one of which is coming to fruition soon (again, I get it), and we are excited about announcing it when the time is right. At least one high-speed video has already been posted by our partner (who shall remain unnamed for now), but it's pretty damn cool.

Nobody is more frustrated with the delays in production than us, I assure you, but we are still dedicated to getting these bullets (and other projects) into the hands of the everyman.

I haven't heard anything from @AtlasArmsMfg in a while, which is unfortunate.

They were using modern manufacturing technology to work around federal prohibitions on armor piercing ammunition.

Legal definitions are just engineering problems at the end of the day.

[Atlas Arms Manufacturing @AtlasArmsMfg]

Hell yeah, man, you will absolutely get some if your donation level included that. We have our full inventory of cores (almost 100k) cleaned, sealed, and sitting on our shelves waiting for jackets that meet our standard.

Things are going well, but man, it's been a drag to get this stuff right. The thought of releasing something that's not good enough is worse than releasing nothing at all.

We had the mold insert remade due to a heat issue that cropped up after several hours of run time that created ~ a thou of eccentricity in the jackets. Waiting on the new one now, then QA/QC of those parts, and assuming they are good and test well, we fire up the assy machine.

I'm glad we had this other big project kinda fall in our laps, 'cause it's given us a lot to do while we go back and forth on jacket stuff with the molder.

[Atlas Arms Manufacturing @AtlasArmsMfg]

@OnomyAlex Right on, man. And you're 100% correct on mfr.

Designing the bullet was the easy part, apparently.

Making one at a time? Easy.

Making 100k at a time? Not so much, but we are gonna do it.

[Atlas Arms Manufacturing @AtlasArmsMfg]

@GodGuns1776 @Atlas_Arms_Org @bc1984adam @RealRossU You're telling me, cause we'd love to be selling them. Injection molding PC parts to a tenth at commercial scales isn't easy.

In the meantime, you are welcome to DIY them, as the open source manual and instructions were released quite a while ago.

@Ridiculous23504 @slimbo_klice @troy_and_an_AK Here's one of them

[Atlas Arms Manufacturing @AtlasArmsMfg]

@Ridiculous23504 @slimbo_klice @troy_and_an_AK We actually got some high speed video of a few 9 Atlas tests that we shot through our universal receiver. We accelerated the HPs we were shooting so hard, that the hollow points collapsed (not the Dagger or it's variants in this test).

[Atlas Arms Manufacturing @AtlasArmsMfg]

@MyLonewolf25 @Ridiculous23504 @slimbo_klice @troy_and_an_AK We aren't dead, we are just focusing on injection molding stuff instead of twitter. No sense in talking much until we finish what we set out to do.

[Atlas Arms Manufacturing @AtlasArmsMfg]

@BeanedSprout @Atlas_Arms_Org We are still here, just no sense in us posting until we get our bullet on the market. Mentioned it in the last donor update, but we are active on Urbit.

@david_lowrey These molds should make 8 jackets every 8-14 seconds. Exact cycle time is TBD.

Our assembly machine should be able to turn out 16k-20k bullets/day.

Screw machining is the bottleneck. They are running one machine right now (@ 5k cores/week), but are able to scale once we say go.

[Atlas Arms Manufacturing @AtlasArmsMfg]

8 cavity production mold coming together!

@TheRustyMosin Our mold shop is making them, we own them.

@TeamYouTube up to their bullshit

[The 3D Print General @3DPrintGeneral]

Here we go, @TeamYouTube caught lying. They are saying I started a second channel while I had a strike back in 2022. I did not. My friend started that channel
Hey @TeamYouTube, maybe you can check what email was used for that second channel. Was it the same as my main?

Under 15 seconds. Likely closer to 10. Production rate should exceed baseline demand for 9mm. Each caliber needs a different mold, but:

a) We've figured out the nuances of tight tolerance molding of polycarbonate
b) Future bullet designs will take injection molding into consideration.

[Atlas Arms Manufacturing @AtlasArmsMfg]

This is what has pushed us out so long on release. This mold will make 8 jackets/cycle, and is toleranced to the tenth. Been one hell of a process to get to where we were comfortable ordering the production molds. Arrow pointing out one of the jacket stations.

[Atlas Arms Manufacturing @AtlasArmsMfg]

Oh yeah, the same House that just affirmatively decriminalized pistol braces is gonna pass an AWB.
It's all so fake.

Weapons of war have no place on the streets of a civil society.

Congress must pass an assault weapons ban. President Biden will sign it.

[Atlas Arms Manufacturing @AtlasArmsMfg]

@Tim_The_Sandman Until then, we recommend extreme caution in loading them for .357Sig because it's a very exotic bullet requiring a very unique powder load and traditional methods of detecting overpressure from fired primers are unreliable at best.

[Atlas Arms Manufacturing @AtlasArmsMfg]

@Tim_The_Sandman Yes, they will. We plan to develop .357Sig loads for our bullets once they're in production.
