Many people face the daily routine of taking medication
and for this there is substantial variety of pill container
boxes, that usually take the form of a series of little
compartments arranged in a line. These are great for
travel, but not that interesting or inventive.
For this reason I
proposed the developement of The Colt
45 Pill Dispenser.
This is a pill dispenser that resembles a Colt 45 Pistol,
only each time the trigger is pulled, a pill or set of pills
is dispensed out the end of the barrel.
Here's how it works:
The pills are all preloaded into a cartridge containing a
range of compartments, each of which will empty as the
trigger is pulled. This cartridge is inserted into the Colt
45 just as it would be were it to contain real
ammunition. A simple soda stream style compressed air
cartridge propels the pills up the barrel with the minimal
force needed to get them down the back of your throat.
All the pill-popper needs to do each morning (or when
required) is to open their mouth and "fire" in the
required dose of daily medication.
Submachine gun version available for those who take a
lot of tablets and need a bigger magazine.
Not advisable to be used in a public place or in front of
unwary home visitors.
Looks like one of these....

We'll take six gross to start with; where do we send the money ? |

Don't worry, our design team is on that already - soon be fixed. |

Six gross of those, too. Will there be a belt-fed version ? |

Eh ? That is EXACTLY the place to deploy such a device. |
|
| |
For those that routinely carry an M1911A1 as a personal weapon, some sort of system to avoid confusing the medication device with the firearm might be needed. |
|
| |
Or then again, perhaps not. |
|
| |
Specifically, "Colt M1911 .45 ACP" |
|
| |
Some gumballs (gobstoppers etc.) - spherical sugar candy - can be shot from modified* paintball guns with amusing** consequences, or loaded into a plaswad (plastic cup wad) and fired from unchoked 12- and 20-gauge shotguns with ... interesting*** ... effects. |
|
| |
* Gas pressure increased to compensate for higher mass of projectile. |
|
| |
Usually, it's a different kind of candy that gets your brains blown out. |
|
| |
You would have to lock it up with your real Colt 45, or
the kiddos might think it looked like fun, find your
gun, (pill-shooter), and overdose on your Viagra. I
don't mean YOUR Viagra, necessarily, xennie, just in
general. |
|
| |
To make it friendlier, perhaps if the pill dispenser
was cat shaped, meowed when it was pill time, and
delivered the pill in the manner of a cat "gifting" a
dead rat... |

Well, gun maker rivals of Colt, Smith and Wesson
have been in contact about a collaborative venture
with GlaxoSmithKline (UK pharmaceutical giant) to
produce a GlazoSmith&Wesson, so you never
know..... it could be baked soon enough. |
|
| |
//and overdose on your Viagra// Curious to know
what the consequences might be? |
|
| |
Why stop at a Colt .45? Why not have a selection such as a
fine duelling pistol, a sawn-off shotgun, an assault rifle or a
sniper's rifle. Might be tricky to get these in your mouth so
hours of amusement would ensue as you use your toes to
pull the trigger. |
|
| |
The Colt .45 was chosen because it has a cartridge
type magazine that could easily be adapted to
house 7 individual compartments. Long barrelled
weapons would also be unwieldy, which is why an
Uzi would be ok for a large supply of tablets, given
its bigger magazine. |
|
| |
I think you've got the wrong Colt here. You're
using the magazine in the grip for your
deliverables storage, and the moving parts of
the action makes difficult getting any
appreciable volume for propellant. If, however,
you were to switch to a Colt Single Action Army,
a.k.a. M1873 or Peacemaker for the design, you
could put the pills in the cylinder and a CO2
cartridge in the grip. Making it a 7-shooter
instead of 6 would be a very minor change. |
|
| |
The. 45 Long Colt would actually have a little
more capacity than the ACP. I'm a multi-piller, and would prefer not
to need multiple shots. |
|
| |
Don't need high velocity delivery, true. But the "sproing" of a pill-
slinging spring damages the image being presented; needs a decent
"bang" even though the majority of the noise is just wasted propellant. |
|
| |
That's a great suggestion ......//A simple soda
