Personal Reflective Essay

On February 20, 2017, I watched the 60 minutes Lesley Stahl with Roger Stringer, a family man and hunter. He was the father of one of many victims of the Remington 700’s faulty trigger system, allowing it to fire when the safety is removed from the gun. His oldest, and only living son claims that he did not fire the gun at his brother, instead it fired on its own. Specifically he claimed that he only used the gun to intimidate his younger brother, and it went off. As the interviewee, Roger Stinger, said, “I’d never heard of a gun going off without a trigger being pulled. It made no sense,” but the particular model of the gun has caused Remington one hundred and fifty lawsuits from its faulty trigger system. Although some people, including Remington, believe that injuries and death from these triggers are “always human error and never the gun’s fault,” Roger Stringer insists that his son was telling the truth, and that the gun fired on

This is a good thing but also a very very bad thing it makes guns more dangerous and snipers have become more accurate as time has gone on because of these bullets and modern upgrades. Gun makers haven’t slowed down they have continued to make more accurate guns and bullets. How It Was Made The Tracer bullet is made “when the bullet is fired the gunpowder ignites the back of the bullet which has a compound of either magnesium or phosphorus. This cause it to leave a trail of a certain light trail that burns brilliantly through the night.” (Igniting A Tracer Bullet)

The bolt-action just brings a lot to the table, whether you’re talking about accuracy, robustness or even, in some cases, affordability.

This weapon was a big help in wars that were going on around the times it was created. The handguns that were first made did not have good sights. The modern handguns

The American iconic Ruger 10/22 has been around for approximately 52 years and counting and is still one of the most popular .22 long rifles around. Being around for that long and selling over millions, there must be a reason. In my own perspective it must be reliable, durable, and now they have so many different variations to the 10/22 that you can change anything to fit your personal preference.

There are some people who feel that it is just something cool to add on and others feel that it can make sighting an air rifle easier because you will be able to see how the bullet reacts when you press the

The United States Army has used the Berretta M9 as its main sidearm since early 1980. Now the M9 has reached the end of the service life (White, 2016). Rather than upgrade the M9, the Army has decided to go with a new weapon and manufacturer. As of January 2017, Sig Sauer won the $580 million dollar contract with the XM 17 Modular Handgun System (MHS) (Myers, 2017). With such a large investment, the MX 17 has high expectations. This essay will analyze the weapons modifiable grip system and features to aid in night operations as well as persistent malfunctions and accidental discharge.

Among the finest and forward looking production guns to ever come down the pike, the lever-action is at the same time well made and elegant.

Even if it is the handler that makes a gun shoot accurately, sometimes it’s the quality of the weapon that makes every little difference. Working with low-quality equipment is difficult, especially when your job requires you to make every shot count. That is why GunCo.

The selector switch and grip of the MP 7A1 is similar to that of more common assault rifles like the AK 47 or the AR 15. One noticeable difference that separates it from civilian-accessible PDWs is the ease in which the gun can switch to fully automatic. The lightweight ammo and length of the muzzle make recoil almost non existent when firing its split-trigger. It's a shame this beauty is only accessible to military

The Sam Yang Big Bore 909S Air Rifle provides extra safety with its two-step cock and load procedure.

“The M&P15T rifle was the perfect platform to showcase the award-winning LiNQ, wireless operated system,” said Lane Tobiassen, President of Crimson Trace. "Together with Jan Mladek, General Manager for the M&P Brand, we were able to collaborate and develop a firearm package that showcases the versatility of the LiNQ as well as the ability of the M&P15T rifle to adapt to accessories.”

It consists of a 5.5” (full size) or 4.7” (compact) barrel, slide, recoil spring assembly, removable and serialized internal stainless steel frame fire control unit and trigger mechanism, ambidextrous slide release and magazine ejector, and an exchangeable polymer lower to allow for different grip sizes. The slide is fitted with 3 dot adjustable iron sights instead of plastic to reduce wear. Stainless steel magazines will supply 21 rounds for the full size version and 17 rounds for the compact. Three different sizes of the polymer lower grip will be available in small, medium, and large. Caliber sizes can be changed between 9mm, .357SIG, and .40S&W by swapping out the slide, recoil spring assembly, barrel, and magazine. It can be taken apart without tools and without squeezing the trigger. The trigger has a pull weight of 5.5 lbf. Multiple safeties will ensure safe operations and they include: a loaded chamber indicator, an ambidextrous thumb safety, a striker safety which prevents the striker from releasing unless the trigger is pulled, a disconnect safety which prevents the pistol from firing out of battery, a magazine disconnect safety, and a 3 point takedown safety where the magazine must be removed, the slide must be to the rear, and the take down lever must be

The purpose for my design is to speed up the process of sighting a gun in, the scope to take into compensate the parabolic launch of a bullet, and to hit to target bulls’ eye. Sighting in a gun requires a long trial and error process that any hunter, marine, or police sniper would agree upon. As a bullet is fired from a rifle it rises a few inches for about one hundred yards or more where it descends below the axis of the barrel. The scope looks like any other scope but will account for the parabolic launch and relocate its self to the correct position for the most accurate shot.
