Turing lip off of 30mm & Tri-30mm MiB \"gun\" idea!
Just got a wild idea, actually been thinking about it before but not seriously.. take 3-30mm optics and mount them in their own barrels, to make 3 barrell type gun like seen in MiB. Each tube would house the 30mm, luxIII. Then they'd connect to a 3 "D" tube. Or you could have each luxIII running on 3C's for insane brightness..
I'm thinking using PVC pipe for the mounting of optics, and something (????) for the heat sinks.
What would I use for heatsinks?
Would the beams converge into one beam?
Am I crazy?
I would probably "turn down" the optics, to remove the large lip around them to get them closer to each other to help beam convergence. I did some eyeballing with my broke 30mm I have and doing this you might be able to fit 2 30mm's into a mag head!
Anyways, I thought if you took some rubber tubing that is large enough, and pushed the optic in, and had the tube rotate while you placed a razor blade or knife on the back of the optic between the lip and the end of the optic, it would slowly slice through it until the "ring" or lip was cut off and the optic would fall out. What do you think?
