As a scientist, guys are killing me with the bastardisation of the periodic table :cry: :nerd_face: :laughing:
If something’s an element, I propose it’s given its elemental symbol, if it’s anything else, then capital abbreviations:
teacher:
/modified:
FW3BA = Bakelite
FW3Be = Beryllium
FW3BeCu = Beryllium copper
FW3BF = Buckyfiber
FW3Bi = Bismuth
FW3BR = Brass
FW3BZ = Bronze
FW3Cu = Copper
FW3CA = Catalin
FW3CA = Carbide
FW3CC = Cool Colors (choice of: green, red, blue, purple, orange, black, & gray
)
FW3CE = Ceramic
FW3CF = Carbon Fiber
FW3CG = Clear Glass
FW3Co = Cobalt
FW3CR = Crystal
FW3Cr = Chromium
FW3D = Damascus
FW3Au = Gold
FW3Fe = Cast Iron
FW3Pb = Lead
FW3LX = Lexan
FW3M = Mokume
FW3Mg = Magnesium
FW3N = Naked
FW3Os = Osmium
FW3Pt = Platinum
FW3P la
= Plaskon
FW3PSk = PlaySkool (kids version help's identify future flasholics & modders.)
FW3S = Stainless
FW3Ag = Sterling Silver
FW3ST = Stellite
FW3Ti = Titanium
FW3Tim = Timascus
FW3W = Tungsten
FW3U D
= Uranium - Depleted
FW3W = Wood
FW3XXX = @Cheap fake/knockoff copy of FW3A. Key word, ‘cheap’. Use as loaner lighll
Please …… Do Not “Quote” this looooong post. . Thank you . :+1:
I propose FW3DI = Diamond (okok, yes I know I’m breaking my own rule about elements…)
Or, for the budget version,
FW3MO = moissanite

Given the volume of posts I’ve read where you dropped your lights I would like to add a shockproof variant.
So I present you the Vibram version: FW3VB
And there is an FW3TROJ for people who have a tendency to drop/loose their lights in awkward places.
I liked the idea of those at first, but now I avoid them. Clipped one way, it ends up with a lot of extra material sticking out. This is really uncomfortable when the clip is pointing toward skin, like when clipped onto a waistband. Clipped the other way, it’s significantly weaker, holds things at an odd angle, lacks friction, and the light itself acts as a lever to pull on the clip’s weakest point.
Olight in particular tends to use this style of clip on lights where it makes no sense. Clipped one way, it works, aside from the extra fold sticking out… but clipped the other way, half the light is sticking out above the clip. It’s the opposite of deep carry. I don’t think anyone at Olight thought this one through:

Anyone have links for pre-bent deep pocket clips that could be modded to work?
I don’t understand why any flashlight or knife brands design pocket clips that aren’t deep-carry.

You don’t understand, these lights have multifeature support. Second bend is usable as a money clip as well as a beer bottle opener, because every cool gadget has to double as a bottle opener because reasons.

Put you mind at rest gravelmonkey, THE LIST has about as much to do with the Peridoc Table as it does with reality…. which is very, very little . . .

Hmmm… not a bad idea. This will be taken into consideration & possibly implemented.

Hoping I’m not too late to the party. Please put me down for one!
Fantastic looking light you’ve all made here.
How about a light made from a meteorite. Cabot Guns made a few pistols with it.

Wow…. a matched set. Those are amazing!!
And a list price of only $4,500,000.oo …
I think a FW3Met is definitely in order. :+1:
Interesting reading about the matched set of fully functional Cabot 1911 Meteorite pistols.
.
Edit: Done, FW3Met = Meteorite added. :+1:

Only advice I'd give is .... make extra clips available because they will sell.
Why wouldn't you make extra if people are asking for them ? easy sale .

Yeah but that Vibram sole covering should make it easy to maintain grip…. as well as protect it when dropped. .

My local range has a Cabot Circular pattern Damascus 1911 that has an $8,000 price tag on it.
EDIT: http://cabotgun.com/better-than-custom-1911-pistols/the-damascus-ladder-deluxe/#1
Apparently its “on sale”, MSRP is listed at $10,000

Doesn’t meteorite tend to be brittle? I’d hate to be the first guy to shoot one of those guns to find out if it holds together.
