    Well, he's an engineer, as far as I know, there're no limits for engineers.

    And, aside from that, I like love him (and Volker, nice couple — not exactly that way, but... if you want... up to you! — Btw, those two, doing a lot of jokes )

      I have to feel a bit for Brody right now, it can't be easy for him learning that his alternate self ended up alienated from the others.

          Perhaps the casings are recycled, if that's even possible, the bullets themselves are formed from melting lead that they found off world and as for the gunpowder and primer.. that's anyone's guess

            You can recycle the shell casings. So all you need is a projectile replacement and an explosive. They are pretty primitive really. A tube, an explosive, and a projectile. In use by planet earth for well over 2,000 years now. Gun powder is low yield stuff by modern standards. As I wonder if some form of bamboo that absorbs the vodka and shaved down to a powder would be enough yield. Or repurposing a few LA plosives. For that matter, where did he get the parts for the still?

                Paper was brought up when Eli gave Rush the calculations he was asking for at the beginning of the show. Bullets were brought up when Greer was letting Young know that they were really low on ammo while getting ready to head to the planet.

                  When Rush goes to see Eli near the start of the episode he asks Eli for some equations, Eli hands him a sheet of paper and Rush says something about Brody's paper making project. And when they're in the armory preparing to go the planet Greer mentions that they're nearly out of bullets, at that point Colonel Young says Brody can make more.

                    "Blockade" - that's why this thread is in the "Blockade" folder

                      Lead or brass. He's not actually making ammo, BTW. There is no way a black powder round generates enough pressure to work a slide. They lack the capability to make nitrocellulose (requires paper, concentrated nitric and sulferic acids).

                      Assuming they had the capability to make the proper powder, reloading ammo requires the use of dies and presses. They lack the capability to make either.

                      I believe the bullet comment was sarcasm.

                        Rush made the paper comment when he noticed elis scratchpaper was full.

                        Rush made a sarcastic comment amount bullets.

                          Been one of my favourite characters since the very begining. He makes so much. If they had any kind of money on Novus, he would have been a rich man with all of his builds. Especially as he would have owned the first pub surely.

                              They'd need a lot of paper. It would need to be cardstock or something like thin solid cardboard.
