HarveyH42 said:GUN CONTROL! How's that working out for you Brits? Sorry, couldn't resist. I really can't imagine how anyone could believe banning handguns would really have much impact on reducing crime.
Electric Rain said:Lemme think... solenoid... steal plate... Holy crap you really are a genious! Wow... I never would have thought of that... it's friggin' BRILLIANT! My goodness I wish I was related to you... Thanks man. That should work GREAT.

Electric Rain said:Heheh... yeah, I'll um, get back to you on that.
My only problem now is finding a decent 12-24 volt dc PUSH solenoid. All the ones I'm finding are pull-type.
Nigel Goodwin said:BTW, as for my metal plate idea, it all came from YOUR original question, unlike most requests yours was specific and told us all EXACTLY what you were wanting to do, and WHY! - this allows sensible and helpful replies.
Electric Rain said:Edit: Hmm... what do you think of this one? https://www.allelectronics.com/cgi-bin/item/SOL-96/575/SOLENOID,_PUSH-PULL_.html
Nigel Goodwin said:what supply voltage do you have in the guns?.
Electric Rain said:Says it's only 333ma, but then that's probably continuous. You're saying the initial shock of when it's first powered might take like... 2 amps or so, right?
Nigel Goodwin said:To be honest this looks a pretty damn big solenoid, I would expect a far smaller one would probably do what you want?, as it's hitting a steel plate.
