heres the skinny on the AR15 image:
Doug Napier writes: "The rifle is a Colt M4 upper on a Pre-ban (or grandfathered, as they say) Eagle Arms lower._ The camera was a Golden Engineering Inspector, shot at about 5 feet on polaroid transparency film._ Exposure was about 45 pulses, as I recall (the batteries were weak)._ The real film image is actual size, so my full-size scans are, well, full sized (and amazingly detailed)._ It's a tough x-ray to shoot...enough power to see through the bolt carrier or into the chamber, and the aluminum parts wash out._ The image you see is a pretty fair comprimise, I think, and is the result of several hours of work._ Since the original is a tranparency, if you hold it up to the light a lot of the detail that you loose on the flatbed scanner is apparent."

Yeah, the second image is a WGP Autococker. Interesting to see a tiger stripe pattern on the Delrin bolt.

Very cool pics. Maybe I'll try to get an MRI of my Ruger 77/22!
No, bad idea. Metal....magnet... you get the idea.

jamz, I seem to remember a story about an officers sidearm flying into an MRI machine and fireing a round!
(HA guns can fire them selves )
(And no, I don't have a link... I can try to scrounge one up though; anyone else remember this?)

I remember the NRA offered to x-ray the supposed full-auto guns burned up at Waco to verify they were illegal, but the FEDS quickly destroyed them.
It's nice this sight has and ignore list.

Ugh.... Waco... sad.
Back on topic, those are quite nice pictures. Too bad someone keeps taking this forums pictures over to "underground" forums.

I found this topic via google when looking for information regarding recent events.
If anyone tries to take this kind of image in the future, send me a message and I can give some tips that will make the job much easier: its a question of high dynamic range and I have a bit of background in the area. There's no reason we couldn't have a photo that simultaneously showed all the detail of the aluminum and the bolt carrier together.
