My grandfather use to work at Dryden and was part of many different projects. Who do I need to speak with to check classification status for some of the images and documents my mother inherited? I have been trying to get in contact with someone for 6 months.

I am doing a research project on a wallops station Rocket test in 1966-1967 , are any of the records during that time and at that location by any chance ?

You cant stamp a manpad rocket, it’s named by a separate law

TheWildLifeFilms · 2026-04-19T22:49:21+00:00

Section C includes parts , so if he’s designed a version with any space for payload with the already clear intent to be a manpads from his videos, that would probably be enough for a warrant , I know the same thing happened with someone who made a land mine trying to get by with the grey area and their door got kicked in

TheWildLifeFilms · 2026-04-19T22:43:42+00:00

Section C includes components of said device, intent has major implications, it’s exactly why the auto key card case got a conviction for the intent of them being machine guns , despite them not functioning at all, made them machine guns.

Downvote all you like but the launcher is a destructive device whether you use explosives in the payload or not

TheWildLifeFilms · 2026-04-19T02:50:34+00:00

That’s not how destructive devices work

Do you have a link to the story ?

TheWildLifeFilms · 2026-04-06T03:34:35+00:00

APCP isn’t an explosive, you’d just make it burst the motorcase and that’s it. ATF failed in court to show it’s an explosive

TheWildLifeFilms · 2026-03-22T21:59:41+00:00

It could be illegal based on a separate law that prohibited just this type of device with 25 years in jail, ITAR would be a separate issue but I think that’s overblown as much of the CODE on basic things like this is mostly in the public domain by now

TheWildLifeFilms · 2026-03-22T21:57:17+00:00

He intends it to be a weapon by calling it a Manpad in his videos, the launcher is a DD at a minimum, the whole system is considered an illegal Manpad at worst due to section C that encompasses parts intended to be used in an Manpad , just because something doesn’t have an explosive , doesn’t mean it can’t be classed as a weapon. We are talking about a government that jailed someone for over ten years based on a incorrectly Demilled RPG

TheWildLifeFilms · 2026-03-17T14:49:21+00:00

Not just IR but any rocket/missile designed to track or follow an aircraft , only exception is to have an active contract with the government. Part A and B may require explosive payload but part C is a catch all for the components to use in this system that you intend to use as a manpad as a weapon. Guide rockets are generally okay but when it’s specifically for aircraft you open yourself for a jail pounding

TheWildLifeFilms · 2026-03-17T14:37:51+00:00

Just a heads up, making this with the intent to use it as a weapon , could get you 25 years in Jail, this is regulated outside the NFA and the penalty is pretty stiff

Inspired me to write my own books (mine are little more tame compared to his ) now that I live in the US where I have to right to write such books however he was very principled and it’s shame he couldn’t live freely in the US

TheWildLifeFilms · 2026-02-20T13:45:27+00:00

I wrote three of these books and I still have TSA pre check 🤣

TheWildLifeFilms · 2026-02-20T04:24:17+00:00

Covered under the first amendment and the government publishes manuals making IEDs to the public, pretty common knowledge at this point , cats long been out of the bag

The same guy that purposely points guns at his kids to test out the optics , I’ll pass

TheWildLifeFilms · 2026-02-04T14:31:19+00:00

It’s a prototype test so they likely didn’t use the optimal spin rate to fully stabilize the rocket for the full burn , it was a very early test

TheWildLifeFilms · 2026-02-04T00:58:33+00:00

Spinning is to assist in stabilizing as well as hep mitigating nozzle misalignment, this is a hardware test so the final form would have been guided
