Any aperture will produce this result, it's just that a larger aperture will produce a fuzzier image, so at one point it will just blur beyond recognition.
Basically every tiny detail in the image is spread out over the area of the shape of the apeture, but if you spread out the image over a large area you can get a pretty decent quality image.
The size of the image is determined by the ratio of the distance from the focal point to the sun and the wall respectively.
In this case the focal point is in the aperture itself but if your using a lens it can be elsewhere.

Diffraction only comes into play when you have a really tiny aperture.

I know next to nothing about photography, but I guess this has something to do with the ratio of the size of the aperture to focal length? Anyone care to explain in more detail?

NAGuMs? shouldn't it really be NAMBLA as the old joke goes.

I vote for truth in naming...the NRA shall hereforth be known as the National Association of Gun Manufacturers and Sellers, or NAGuMs.

One does have to admire the sheer immensity of their ability to distort the truth and get people to buy into their batshit crazy claims though.

The Situation Room: L.A. gun buyback yields rocket launchers

zeoverlord says...

Yea there are both 9 and 20mm versions for target practice, the 20mm adds more realism in the form of a large bang,
I have used both, and i have to say that the 9mm is definitely one of the weirdest weapons to shoot.
First its basically a gun barrel in a drainpipe which effectively makes it a suppressed weapon, it doesn't go plonk as the wikipedia article states but more of a suppressed pong as the whole tube resonates with the bang.
Secondly it's surprisingly accurate (possibly due to the size of the weapon), but the barrel is designed to mimic the flightpath of the real ones which makes the bullet behave strangely once it hits something, it has a tendency to bounce, deflect or just move irraticly, multiple times at that.
On several occasions during training we saw those tracer rounds basically jump and skip up the cliff face behind the firing range.

Oh I almost forgot that there are reloadable AT4s as well but they have been modified to fire 9mm pistol tracer rounds for target practice... cheaper and safer than the real deal...

Actually both of them are one shot deals and can't normally be reloaded, especially the larger AT-4, though i do think there are versions of the LAW that can be reloaded for training purposes.

While rocket launchers look and sound crazy to own, they dont scare me half as much as an assault rifle. They are good for taking out a tank or an armored car, but in terms of murdering many civilians, they are really pretty useless, compared to an assault rifle. And thats if you actually have the rocket that fits the launcher, which are highly specialized and difficult to obtain, probably as hard to get as the launcher itself. and that smaller one in the video, is an M72 LAW, which is a disposable rocket launcher, only good for one shot. if it didnt contain a rocket, its about as dangerous as an empty toilet roll.

At a recent gun amnesty (which is similar to these gun buybacks) in sweden someone turned in an anti aircraft cannon.

And for the record that AT-4 is not an RPG it's technically a recoilless grenade launcher
