Like I would spend my time and money to fly across the country to shoot against someone who doesn't even rate having their scores posted in the official match reports. frequent flyer miles!

Nobody "designed for Remington" anything, anymore than GM or Ford designed their truck especially for you, other than your ordering some special options you wanted/needed. Remington did not develop this coating for the XCR. It has been around for years, as I have detailed in a prior discussion.
My role was to develop a new generation of controls for all the machines built by this company, including machines yet to be designed. I also designed a test and simulation system which could be configured as a virtual machine, in order to test an debug software for each machine, since many of them are custom built for a very specific application and often a proprietary one, and installed in Europe or Asia. In the process of developing this software and control hardware, I worked on a variety of existing and new machines, and being a mechanical engineer as well, I participated in the mechanical design of new machines, improvements to existing ones and ones on the drawing board. Remington purchased one of those machines. So is this where you explained what you did? Sounds like a whole lot of very vague and general information. What kind of new control system was it? What kind of sensors did you use? Did you use lasers as the particle sensor to determine particle droplet size and concentration? What did you use to determine the thickness of the deposition on the piece being treated ulrtasonic or magnetic resonances to determine thickness? What did you use to control the whole system, PLCs or towers? If you used towers, how large was the program you wrote? I am not asking for trade secrets( if it is a patened system, then there is no trade secret on it anyway). what sort of variables can you change on the virtual machine to simulate issues and assist in trouble shooting both the equipment and the process itself? Come on man, it seems to be a very interesting system, dazzle me.

(sic)
Could it be that you have never designed a machine as complex as a plasma vapor deposition chamber, and it is entirely outside your realm of knowledge. That's fine. So your experience is in something else, maybe something very narrow and deep.
(sic) Actually I do know a bit about plasma vapor deposition as I worked as a process and equipment engineer for five years producing disks for hard drives. I'd be quite interested in hearing some details of the system you designed. I also worked a wee bit with plc controls. So your claims are far from entirely outside my realm of knowledge.

To engineer something, you have to be able to explain the physics or chemistry of how something works. And that is precisely where you fail, Lee. I'm not a Mech E, though I was headed that way before I switched to Civil. I admittedly don't know much about circuits or thermodynamics, though I can probably call BS when it comes to physics, statics, mechanics, and material properties. The fact you tried to claim that Glocks use "jet propulsion forces" to function properly told me that you have not a clue what is going on.

Scorpion, I have done a bit of civil engineering, too.
I designed and built lakes and 25-foot steel bridge and 40-foot concrete bridge across the overflow weirs of the dams, before I was 14 years old. My father was not an engineer, but he let us do whatever we were capable of doing on the farms. Later, for a graduate course in civil engineering, I engineered the largest one again, including all the soil analysis and run off calculations, just to match up to our historical records.
Since then, I have engineered 6 buildings over 10 stories tall and one over 20 stories, and supervised construction on them - site, utilities, electrical, fire, HVAC, structural modifications, plumbing, all of it.
I have engineered large civil sites up to 280 acres paved, including roads, drainage, water, sewer, and electrical duct banks.
If you don't understand machine design and high speed dynamics, don't comment on my explanations.

Hardy har har, tzone. If reading anything mildly technical makes you "p---- yourself", then go look at some girly pix posted by the other teens on this web site.
By tomorrow, a couple more of you who haven't a clue about PVD or anything else related to Remington will have posted more stupid grafitti.

No it's not that....
just that some us REAL engineers really do design things, but we don't need to brag about it on the internet. It shows up on our paychecks.
Does anybody but you really buy the bullschit your selling?

pssst, lee24, how 'bout it? let's shoot!!
we can even do smallbore rifle (i can provide you a rifle & ammo for that, too!) or pistol (i'll use one of yours, ok? if not, i can borrow from friends). i'm not sure how to make it any easier, bro'!

ND, I think they're a bit over engineered. Kind of like the F-4 Phantom...Looks good sitting still, even better when moving and you can see them coming from a long way off! RH

Nothing wrong with a GOOD set of screw-ons...
Mark Begich, Joaquin Jackson, and Heller resistance... Three huge reasons to worry about the NRA.

Northern Dave Nice design- Would appreciate some top views and side views (Just for scientific puposes, of course) thank you. I'm kind of proud of that project. I had to create time travel first so I could go back in time & work with god to correct his original cube shaped design. You are all very welcome.

that's what lee 24 called us... because this is such a serious place and all.
