Comment on IT’S THE FEDS!
Treczoks@lemmy.world 10 months agoHappened not long ago that, for the same reason, police raided a tomography & XRay clinic. Guess what, an MRI needs serious power to work…
If I remember right, one cop brought his rifle in which got sucked into the MRI machine.
Even the warrant was based on a cop lying iirc. The basis boiled down to something like “energy use and tinted windows”, which, you know… Medical imaging and patient privacy.
Idiots and asswipes.
And then they hit the emergency shutdown, which is for when people have a plate in their head and they’re stuck to the side of the machine. That one causes all the liquid helium to be quenched, thus needing to be refilled.
There is a slower shutdown that doesn’t do that, but, you know, cops.
Every detail of that story was worse than the last, and it’s 100% on the cops.
A button worth $25,000 on the low end to refill+replace the magnet, a million on the high end if it needs total replacement. It calls to me when I sit with the mri techs. Looking like SpongeBob trying to not push it sitting in the back.
Thats right! I forgot about that part.
Cops are nightmarish levels of stupidity.
Guns getting sucked into MRI machines is a recurring news story at this point.
So, a moment of curiosity.
If my theoretical pistol did get pulled into am MRI machine, stuck against it by the magnet, and I, for the purpose of scientific inquiry, pulled the trigger, should I expect the bullet to fire more or less as normal, to fire, but the bullet be pulled back to the machine, or for the bullet to not move, or not move more than an inch or so from the barrel?
But to address your main question, most bullets are not magnetic. Some are, in which case idk how the mri would impact them. But most would fire as normal
Realistically, the mechanism would jam. I doubt the hammer would fall, being squeezed hard against whatever structure supports it
