Recoil contest

[Ivanlul]

The goal of this contest is to make the gun as accurate as possible with a recoil mechanism.

Rules:
Mechanism's weight must be less than or equal to 50 kg.
You can only build inside the green box (that means you can only attach things to the boxes that are inside of it.)
No fixating/hinging/gluing/springing to the background or the green box.
Extreme variables are allowed (inf friction, 0 friction, 0 restitution, etc.).
No modifying of the scene/gun/scoreboard
Any loopholes that I could not think of are not allowed.
Scripting is allowed.
Every bullet must hit the scoreboard.
Gun cannot be moved from the original position before the simulation starts.
No attraction

Award:
I will build any airplane you want on algodoo.

When you load the scene click the scoreboard, go on the script menu and click on the text box and press enter. For some reason the text box won't update if you don't do this.

Scoring:
The lowest score will win. I run the scene 5 times and I'll take the lowest score, I will subtract 2.76e-006 from that score and I will post it on the score list.

I got 9.2 I've given up though.

[Ivanlul]

.88 :p

Does "No fixating/hinging/gluing to the background" means that we also aren't allowed to glue things we built?

[Ivanlul]

That is allowed.

[KarateBrot]

Okay cool so then i got 0.015

[Ivanlul]

upload it

[KarateBrot]

I don't know how I built it anymore. I just experimented today and didn't save it but I just made something new. It's not that good but my best score was 0.056.

omg I feel like a cheater but I think it's according to the rules without loopholes.

[Ivanlul]

That counts as being attached to the background.

[KarateBrot]

and that's what i was wondering about. the grey bars are attached to the green area. the gun on the rail is movable. It's not fixated, hinged or glued.
but i just uploaded it so that you can see it. maybe i'll think of a real mechanism and post it. otherwise there's no fun

ill make an attempt to enter, looks interesting

This contest is pretty stupid, if you want to absorb recoil, you've got to have movement. The more movement you have, the longer of an impulse there is to redirect/move/absorb energy. In order to have an accurate gun, you have to have it not move during firing. So any thing that wins this contest should be useless as a recoil absorber, and anything that is good at reducing recoil will be useless at this contest.

[izacque]

I'm a little confused. it the point of this contest to make a mechanism that absorbs the effect of a recoil of a gun without using any parts attached to the background?

[Chronos]

That would be possible if you made a brick move forward with the same amount of force as the recoil... I think.

No it wouldn't because to annihilate recoil the gun needs the impulse of the bullet. But the bullet has to move towards the target. A not moving bullet would be very senseless^^

Bit of a misnomer for the contest.

Wasn't thinking active recoil system when I posted that previous rant.

There is one way to do a passive recoil that moves, but still aims at the same place.
