[advanced]

I need the following things for an experiment into fighting off anomalies, and I am willing to trade:

- Springs or coils of metal that can be made into springs
- Screws
- Rubber bands
- Pipe plug or similar
- Lengths of piping

I have everything else I need.

[Alfie sends over a picture of a few paper clips - one still in its normal shape, one unfolded completely and stretched out, and a third that he's just now tried to coil up and fashion into a springlike shape.]

Will these do?

I've got the spring from a mousetrap. I can keep an eye out for the rest, although we're not likely to find much out here in the new area.

You trying to build something to shoot rubble at those things? I haven't seen any piping at all that's usable my entire time here, unfortunately.

Should I be worried?

are you trying to make a gun

OH are you making some sort of gun i was talking about that with godsend a couple days ago and i dont know if theres anything like that where i am besides pipes maybe because there was a house that was flooded and i reckon that means theres pipes somewhere in it though i could be wrong

if you really wanna do something substansiul youre gonna need actual firepower you know. we were talking about gunpowder though theres none of that here but there may be something that works close enough though im not a scientist really. for the pipes as well youd also need something strong less you want the barrel to fucking melt or whatever

youd also need to acount for multiple rounds less you want just a single shot type deal but ive never really messed around with those beside a really old veterli i had BUT you could have a few barrels to fix that like the lanc oval bore which i always thought looked real stupid but we dont have a lot of shit to work with here

it sounds like youre trying to do some bullshit with rubber bands but i dont think thosell work too well if youre realy looking to actualy hurt someone or something its like using a fucking slingshot id think the springs would work better though you need to find those and also figure out the single shot issue and youre still stuck on pipes anyways

your best bet is a four barrel spring type thing you can really get some force with like the lanc pistols and pray its good enough like i said though finding something cemical would sit you pretty

but im not an expert or anything

Have you considered trying to make a sling instead? it'd be easier to make up. you could always make the gun, or whatever, later. assuming the sling works.

Yanno, I don't think high velocity rubble is gonna hurt those things any more than the regular thrown stuff does.
