Your preferred Method Of Destruction?

Re: Your preferred Method Of Destruction?

So the rules are: select my most hated machine, and imagine destroying it in my most favorite way I can imagine? OK, a while back in the analog days, while the Konica 7090S was a pretty good machine, the Konica 7090RF was the essence of evil, so there's the victim. The preferred method of destruction: connecting the machine to the electrical delivery trunk line (if the 42KV ones aren't available I suppose the 17KV ones will do) and waiting until all that's left is a sparking pool of molten metal.
Or I guess just run the thing over with my second most favorite truck I got to drive while I was in the Army Reserves: the HEMTT ( Oshkosh HEMTT Images).

Yeah, that would probably do it without the 50 caliber or any shoulder fired RPGs. Why use combustibles when you can just crush it to bits.
PS: Thank you for your service.

I think I'm going to grab some popcorn... this is just as entertaing as our flame threads, only much more positive and theraputic.
(gotta get me one of those massive shreaders... or a forklift... maybe a tank would be nice... or I could watch some other idiot mess with the 42Kv, but I got kids to feed)

Seeing as we are getting inventive, I am starting to think about a Canon NP6621. I would connect the copy button to the start switch of a car crusher, then get the most annoying customer to do 'just one copy'. Just to make sure the inside of the crusher would have to be made to look like the inside of an office, just to make sure no one twigs!!!

Re: Your preferred Method Of Destruction?

I would love to sit a particular MPC7500 (old customer's machine, thankfully gone now) in front of a GAU-8A in a test rig.

If anyone is wondering, it is a 30mm, 7-barrel gatling gun normally mounted in an A-10 Thunderbolt. It fires milkbottle size rounds. The power of this thing is so immense they found out while testing it the gun exhaust is so depeleted of oxygen it caused the engines to flame out. They've now made it so the engine igniters fire when the gun does.

Sufficed to say I've nearly had a happy accident in my pants watching one of these things fire.

I love this video. 4, 3, 2, 1, kiss your ass goodbye!

I did read once that the gun produces so much recoil that the pilot has to go to full throttle to keep the plane going forward and air over the wings! How true this is you would have to ask a warthog pilot.

• Could make an office rage video and show it on youtube. I'm sure we have a few working copiers we can go ape shit on.

A Bizhub C500 is my choice of DEATH, fill the DV units with explosives light the fuse and stand back.

I actually volunteer whenever we have to take our junk machines to the dump, I back up the truck and push them off the back of the truck and enjoy watching a 5 foot fall to the ground. GOODTIMES!! GOODTIMES!!

You want to destroy a copier? Put it in the Teacher's Lounge at your local elementary school...

I can vouch for this one, but I think it's cruel and unusual punishment, no matter how bad of a machine it is.

Use it as the projectile in a US Marine rail gun .... just watch it vaporize as it breaks the sound barrier and gets ripped apart by the air.

If you decide to use a train, make sure to use a mag lev so there is no risk of derailing (sorry... one of those days)

There is no such thing as cruel and unusual punisment when it comes to copiers. Any way is a great and deserved way!!!
