Glock Cowards

The musket is a two-handed weapon which means that it can not be shot from a vehicle and unable to be concealed on a person. What this would prevent is people driving away from their opponents and taking their engines out and also unable to whip it out. Second, the musket only has a clip of 1 with a time in between shot 4.56 seconds. Compared to the revolver with a clip of 6 with a time in between shots of 1.833. This all means that its a more risk to using, you can be rushed when reloading causing you to get killed.

2) Always keep your finger off of the trigger until ready to shoot. 3) Always keep the gun unloaded until ready to use. In the article, written by

Since 1847 when Colt got its start, it has been with the american people up to today. In 1895, Theodore Roosevelt, the President of the Board of Commissioners with the NYPD, ordered 4,500 Colt New Police revolvers to be the standard pistol for police officers.

Taming slug guns; this is a very interesting article to me as I have shot single barrel shotguns in my youth and know all too well how much they kick, however, I have never seen a shotgun with ported holes drilled in it to reduce the kick. This has truly opened my eyes to how there are so many ways to modify guns to fit the person using it. In my opinion, I would think that drilling holes in the top of the barrel would cause the gun to lose some power/distance of the projectile(s). By releasing gas out of the top of the barrel the pressure that is used to push the projectile down the barrel would lose velocity.

A firearm is one of the weapons that may be used when hunting. A firearm utilizes pressure produced from the burning of gunpowder to create gas. The pressure produced from the burning powder propels a projectile out of the barrel at a target. In rifles and most handguns the barrel has rifling on the inside of the barrel to make the projectile spin to travel better in the air. Rifling are groove that spin as they go through the inside of the barrel. Shotgun barrels are smooth and can fire “slugs”, a single projectile, or “shot”,

In wars prior to the Civil War, soldiers wielded weapons such as the musket which shot only one bullet at a time. Though these types of weaponry could shoot as far as 250 yards, they were inconvenient and wasted time. To even aim at the target accurately one had to be 80 yards away. Similarly to muskets, rifles were inconvenient because they took a while to reload because the bullet was almost the same size of the barrel and again, wasted time. Bullets with a pointed tip were created in 1848 by Claude Minie. Because the diameter of the bullets were smaller than the barrel, soldiers could put them into the gun quicker and more effectively. With Minie’s bullets, rifles were simpler to reload but still had to be reloaded with one bullet at a time. That unprotected gap of time made soldiers more vulnerable so in 1849 a repeating rifle called the Volitional Repeater was patented by Walter Hunt. They were popularized in 1863 during the Civil War. By this time many models were being sold but the most common one was the Spencer Carbine which could shoot seven bullets in just 30 seconds. These, like most Civil War era weapons, were produced and used by the North, but not

Pros:High-capacity magazines should be banned because they too often turn murder into mass murder. A Mother Jones investigation found that high-capacity magazines were used in at least 50% of the 62 mass shootings between 1982 and 2012. [7] When high-capacity magazines were used in mass shootings, the death rate rose 63% and the injury rate rose 156%. David H. Chipman, Senior Vice President of Public Safety for Shot-spotter and former Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) agent, stated that a high-capacity magazine "turns a killer into a killing machine."Some gang members use high-capacity magazines, such as 30 rounds or even 90 rounds, to compensate for lack of accuracy and maximize

When the constitution was written the most advanced gun only shot one bolt at a time, and took 30 seconds to reload (Murphy). Now in the 21th century guns have “high-capacity magazines were used in at least 50% of the 62 mass shootings between 1982 and 2012.

This year alone has been more than 400 deaths in result to gunshots; in Germany there has been 4. So with that being said there’s something we aren’t doing right in the United States. In my opinion the United States should improve education requirements as well as training intensity to get the cops to realize that the pulling your gun out shouldn’t be your first option. I am convinced that the better training as well as the almost nonexistence of weapons in private households is a key factor.

Active duty military personnel should be treated like everyone else. Keeping the concealed-carry laws the way it is now will cause no confusion later on. There already has been doubt on military personnel receiving a gun off duty. If active duty military personnel are not required to have a concealed carry handgun license it will add to the number of people who have guns that nobody knows about. Some states record statistics on how many people who have concealed handgun licenses.Considering what they do for a living with training or not they are trained to be suspicious and paranoid. Active duty military personnel should be required to have a mental health evaluation before even recieving a gun of any form. Instead, more restrictions should

This week’s article over handloading the M1 Garand and producing good accuracy with the rifle means carefully crafted hand loads. You are not likely to produce the best results with foreign surplus loads or even our own generic ammunition. So, when loading the Garand, the first hurdle is getting a firm grasp on the differences between loading for a bolt gun and loading for a self-loader. You must have perfectly sized ammunition and you must load within the pressure limits of the system without battering the rifle.

Nutter explains in a recent article, that since the federal assault weapon ban expired in 2004; we have seen numerous tragedies where deranged killers murdered dozens of innocent people by having the ability to shoot many bullets without actually having to reload. He also gives several examples of shootings in which the killers all had weapons with large-capacity magazines. One example would be the shooting in Tucson Arizona, where a 9-year-old girl and federal judge were among six people killed along with 13 others injured. The gunman happened to have used a 33-round magazine (Nutter, 2011).

The first time you go shopping for a handgun, you will probably be confused by an array of models, styles, capabilities and other attributes of a gun. There are, however, certain guns that have a good reputation that has lasted for decades, and it is a good idea to begin your search for your first handgun with those manufactures. One example is the Glock. There are several reasons that this pistol is a good choice for your first handgun. The following are three reasons for this.

This design lead to greater and more powerful weapons to be used in the First and Second World War. The weapons used in the World Wars were by far the most advanced of their time. The new weapons produced three times the amount of firepower either sides of the Civil War could produce at any given time. These weapons were feared by the citizens of the time. These new weapons consisted of the Thompson, a submachine gun, which fired a .45 caliber bullet at high velocities. This rifle became the standard fully automatic rifle for the United States Armed Forces. Though this weapon had a very important role in winning the war, it was also used in various crimes throughout the United States in the early nineteenth century. Does this make this rifle a bad thing to own? While some would argue that the weapon was a threat to the public’s safety, and while the others would say it was not, it still fired at a high velocity which makes the possibility of multiple deaths more possible. This caused a large concern to erupt among the public in large cities where mobs were becoming popular. It was obvious that these new found guns would be great for protecting the public, however, it would also come to harm them since they were falling into the hands of criminals. These weapons would never stop evolving with years to come weapons would become more deadly and even more common than the thompson would ever be.

There are a lot of arguments all around the world in this subject. Politicians, teachers, sociologists and psychologists declare their ideas and also they write some essays about if the poliçe officers should carry a gun or not. Many people suppose that police officers should carry their guns.
