Guess how many of you were right? (Jesse James guns)

[Guest TankerHC]

So the "unveiling" happened yesterday and his 1911 is an STI, straight up STI with his logo on it for $3500. No thanks.

 

Some will be on the "hideous" side on the AR and some will be on the "really nice, new or beautiful side" Me, I'm on the hideous side, but I suppose its only a matter of opinion.

 

On the 1911

 

"There were two types of pistols out on display – a 1911 and an FN .45.  I know what you are thinking – a freaking FN you have got to be screwing with us.  Nope – there was a fancy engraved FN .45 on display right next to the “custom” JJFU 1911.  Don’t believe us just look at the photos below – you can’t miss it.  However, lets talk more about the 1911 – the gun everyone wants to know about.  Here is our take on the pistol – its an STI.  No really – it is 100% an STI 1911 – even to the point that the frame had STI markings and serial number.  So you may be asking yourself – “What’s wrong with STI’s I thought they make good stuff?” – well they DO – but they don’t make a 1911 that is worth $3,500.  That’s right – to buy an STI gun with the JJFU logo (which by the way we still can’t figure out WTF the logo is suppose to be) and some “cool” grips is going to run you a cool $3,500.  What does that get you?  Lets look at the specs:"

 

Yea, $3500 for an STI and some cool grips....um yea....

fools and their money.  

[Garufa]

Based on that price I've got a pretty good idea of what "JJFU" stands for and it's not all that complimentary to the buyer.

Must be nice to be a celebrity.  Put your name on something and make a lot of money.  I am envious. :)

"JJFU" -"Jesse Just F'd U", I assume

[Dustbuster]

Meh the ar looks like it was built from a bunch of crap from the back table at the Dickson gun show Item painted w krypton... 1911 w STI ? Same thing custom ground VZ grips and some paint....


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 2 of course it ate my spelling.

[charlessummers]

At least there were no flames...

At least there were no flames...

 

Yet  :cool:

Yep. That's what I thought as well.

And pretty true if you buy one of these. Edited November 18, 2013 by hipower

I've got a background in physics, and I don't get that suppressor design at all...

[Guest TankerHC]

OK,  I found what that Suppressor is, He didnt invent that either. That comes from a company called Aerosonic that builds suppressors for reaction engines for Boeing and other Aircraft Companies. The designer is Eddie Latulippe and it was designed in 1951, patent submitted in 1965, accepted in 1966, still pending. 

 

This invention relates in general to a reaction en gine, and more particularly to an attachment for connection to the exhaust end of a reaction engine for changing the thrust angle of the exhaust gases and also for enhancing the muffiing of the reaction engine noises to its noise disturbance. The invention herein described constitutes, further, an improvement over the mufller construction disclosed in my United States Patent No. 2,543,461, granted February 27, 1951.

Two of the major problems plaguing the operation of aircraft powered by jet engines are (l) the requirement of very long runways necessary for landing and takeoff, and (2) the noise disturbances produced by the jet engines of such aircraft. Therefore, for either one or both of the above reasons, many of the larger aircraft so powered are restricted to operate from only a limited number of airports. Further, because of these reasons the airports which are operational for such aircraft must necessarily be located at relative great distances from the urban areas which these aircrafts are expected to serve. Therefore, much of the time saved in flight is lost on the ground in going to and from the urban areas and the airports that serve them. Further, the present long runway requirements for the large jet aircraft is of considerable concern to military and naval aviation.

Therefore, an object of this invention is to alleviate these problems by providing an attachment that can be readily fitted to the exhaust end of a reaction engine which will permit the pilot to reverse the full thrust of a reaction engine upon landing to more quickly bring the aircraft, so powered, to a halt and thereby reduce the length of runway otherwise required.

Another object resides in the provision whereby the attachment in accordance with this invention may be positioned on take-off to produce a lift component as well as thrust component, and thus minimize the runway length otherwise required for takeoff.

Another object is to provide a reverse thrust attachment that is constructed and arranged tofurther reduce engine noises for more quiet operation.

Still another object is to provide an arrangement in which the back pressure of the reaction engine may be reduced and thereby enhance its thrust producing qualities.

A feature of this invention resides in the provision that the engine attachment of this invention is relatively simple in construction, relatively inexpensive to fabricate and positive in operation.

Another feature resides in the provision that the attachment of this invention is readily adapted for use on existing reaction type aircraft engines of all types.

Other features and advantages will become readily apparent when considered in view of the description and drawings in which:

 

It is a design on Jet Engines, the Air Force uses them aparently on the F22 and 35 to silence the engines when thrust vectoring. So its a"Unique" shape, so unique that its only been around since 1961 and the name on the suppressor is the exact name of the guys company who invented it. Doesnt sound like it meets the erm unique. He took a jet engine baffle and stuck it on a rifle.
