Samuel Colt's “YC app” for the Summer 1851 batch

I don&#x27;t see this being a viable product.<p>1) For a machine shop owner, you can already build such a &quot;multi-shot gun&quot; yourself quite trivially. I have a setup in my barn where I can spot-weld seven rifles together along the length of the barrel. I then use a bunch of loops of baling wire that run from the triggers to the end of the stock so that I can fire the correct rifle without any awkwardness.<p>I haven&#x27;t tried this with pistols but the general approach should be the same.<p>2) My system also has the benefit of me not being tied to one company&#x27;s proprietary standard of &quot;interchangeable&quot; parts. If you buy a Colt, you&#x27;re stuck buying Colt parts forever. With my system, I can weld together any guns I want.<p>3) It does not seem very &quot;viral&quot;.

Sounds neat, but..<p>- How are you going to scale production to meet demands? Does not look like you could reach the kind of growth YC wants. - Who is this guy and why should I trust his guns? How do I tell how many bullets I have left? - Seems like rearming would be a pain! Reloading just one chamber is already difficult.

That&#x27;s a well-written app. It clearly explains what they&#x27;re doing, why it&#x27;s important, and why they&#x27;re the right team to execute on it.

Seems like the barrel is a single point of failure. How is this better than simply carrying more than one pistol? Allowing complete fail-over in case of a malfunction.<p>Pretty design, but the proprietary projectiles breaks compatibility with existing arms.

Pretty funny, but I&#x27;ve been working on this post about the same thing for the Wright Brothers: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=9291316" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=9291316</a>. Great minds think alike. Maybe if we could put some guns on a plane...

Rejected, doesn&#x27;t know the market:<p><pre><code> It&#x27;s much safer and more reliable than flintlock, which is what people are using now. </code></pre> In the enterprise of war, we use percussion caps these days.

Funny idea. Are there more examples of fictional YC applications of historical or modern companies?

Someone just showed us an idea like this right before you guys. We don&#x27;t like it. What else do you have?

Rejected. Won&#x27;t move to SV. Takes to long.<p>Now if someone would only hack the isthmus of Panama...Hmmm

I can&#x27;t believe they didn&#x27;t mention their big US navy contract! Cartridged rounds are a big plus at sea!

Wow, really neat and well executed.<p>I was thinking of doing an similar product but couldn&#x27;t get time for it.. All the best for you guys.<p>BTW, Are you planning for global reach or targeting only local?

I opened the video link in the background while I read the application. For the first two minutes I thought the drive in my macbook pro was going bad.

I think they have done a great job doing things that don&#x27;f scale. Also they have a lot of paying customers and traction.<p>But I am worried that this might be a solo founder type team. We invest in teams, not just products. You&#x27;d be surprised how many times an idea changes midway through the project, and you will need each other to keep going.

Compared this to apps friends have shown me, this is really concise.

Ah, they have revenue and users!? This sounds like a feasible business model. Rejected.

Hilarious!!! I did not like the application. I am glad it was a joke.
