I'm not dismissing it Linx. I just don't care how it happens... I'm not the one making high-tech weapons, just the one who believes in the power of Chaos.
**Rasing an eyebrow again, Raiden caught sight of Casmir and replied to him.**
A pleasure. I'm Raiden. Raiden A. U. Silversword VII, and this is my daughter Amathyst T. silversword.

"No, it's fine, just made a little scientific discovery here..." Linx gestured to the bullets all around the floor. "Air expands when heated. Shrinks when cooled. Raiden, he's... Raiden. So long as he doesn't get himself killed, I couldn't care less."

"Hello Raiden, and hello Amathyst." Casmir looked to Linx. "A discovery you say? I was under the impression that air was just air."

"Air is made of something, which can be compressed, I know that already. But I just found out that it shrinks and expands when cooled and heated, apparently."

And yet, I'm still your best customer. You know your life would be boring without our "discussions".
**Looking at all the cases on the floor, he grinned slightly.**
I'm not picking this mess up.

"I'll do it..." Linx picked up the seven unfired bullets and the one empty cartridge. "I could just refill these with air... You know, this means I'll have to depressurize my whole stock before spring or it'll be ruined. Good thing I have, like, fifty CAR bullets right now."

"How will this change your weaponry, Linx?" Casmir asked. He was interested in what new invention he might create from such a discovery, even if he did not agree with it.

"I'm not sure, I just found it out. For all I know it might be of little use of weaponry but useful elsewhere, or just plain useless and simply a hindrance, but no matter what it is, it's good to know about..." Linx set the bullets down on the table, putting the empty, still-warm cartridge off to the side.

Why not figure out how much the air contracts, then figure how much it expands and work out how much you need to heat up the cartridge to it's orginal capacity?
**Once in a while, Raide came out with a good idea for things.**

"Well, I'd need to know how hot it was when I filled it, how hot it is now, and how big the change in pressure was. But any heating will be temporary, the temperature outside will eventually bring it back down. ...I wonder if it gets heavier to compensate for its expanding."
OOC: Got a post in, yay.

Who knows? I know I don't. I just thought it was a good idea... I leave the smart stuff to those who can do it.

OOC: Wow, lots of preparation time... Last one, for sure.
BIC: "I just need to figure out how to use it."

Which is the point of experimenting you know.

"Well... It would be good to find out how much it expands and contracts... What would be really good is a way to exactly measure temperature, though."

Try a contained, sealed, even temperetured room for starters. It should help in that aspect.
