[–] MartianSands@sh.itjust.works 13 points 1 year ago (2 children) Realistically, the mechanism would jam. I doubt the hammer would fall, being squeezed hard against whatever structure supports it permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] deranger@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 year ago (1 child) Most modern pistols are striker fired not hammer fired. I’d venture a guess nothing out of the ordinary happens thanks to lube and springs. Gun fires. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] MartianSands@sh.itjust.works 1 point 1 year ago (1 child) That's an implementation detail, not really relevant to my point. I don't think you appreciate how powerful those magnets are. Any ferromagnetic object would be doing well to avoid binding up completely when held right up to the device permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] deranger@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 year ago I do appreciate how strong the magnets are. The force between a two 1cm square steel plates in a 2T field is about 159N or 36 lbs of force. I do not think the contact area between parts of the trigger / sear etc and striker / whatever else are more than 1cm square, they’re also lubricated. Given the orientation of the pistol could also change, making the friction force less effective, I think it’s possible that a pistol is able to fire after being sucked into the MRI. permalink fedilink source parent [–] SaltSong@startrek.website 1 point 1 year ago (1 child) Interesting. Not the answer I'm looking for, but still interesting. Thanks for the information! permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Zwiebel@feddit.org 3 points 1 year ago Probably higly dependent on the specific gun/mechanism permalink fedilink source parent
