Has anyone here ever tried to rig an "automatic opener" on the LAW sidefolder, a mechanism that as soon as it's unpacked and you release whatever you have set to keep it folded that'll automatically snap it into firing position?
For example, on my pistol build right now I'm thinking--and I should note I'm left handed--run a hunk of elastic from the front "slanted" sling slot on the Shockwave Blade through the right QD mount on my receiver endplate, then forward under the ejection port to anchor on a QD mount on the right side-rail. Problem then would be a secure but quick-release mechanism to keep it folded--a Velcro strap would be too slow and too loud but maybe another elastic strap secured with a couple small velcro pieces might work.
Another MacGyver question: Around here it's almost always wet, which means muzzle caps have more potential use, and doubly so for a build like mine that's going to be living in the bottom of a get-home bag where its closest neighbors are going to be the debris, detritus and general CRUD that collects in the bottom of such bags. The caps I've been looking at are designed to be reusable, popped-off by the high-pressure air trapped between it and the bullet, so this is a simpler question. Anybody have any suggestions for some kind of tether material that will resist the heat of a muzzle blast?
