Slow-Motion Bullet Impacts

simon — Tue, 21 Feb 2012 01:20:48 +0000

Slow-Motion Bullet Impacts are very interesting to watch. Combinations of different bullets, materials, angles, etc. all create different paths/damage. This video has been floating around for a while, but has lots of interesting footage of bullet impacts.

The hollow point rounds in ballistics gel are especially interesting. The gel of course simulates human flesh, and the gel is clear to allow you to see how the bullet acts as if it would pass through a person.

Fast and Furious Planned to Regulate Guns in the U.S.A.

simon — Sat, 10 Dec 2011 20:16:24 +0000

The truth about the Fast and Furious scandal continues to come out.

Rush Limbaugh has been covering this for a while, and is keeping his listeners updated. It seems that the object of this operation was to create a gun problem in Mexico that could be linked to the U.S.A. gun market. This would create a grand excuse to increase the control and restriction of firearm sale and ownership in the U.S.A. and further erosion of the Second Amendment.

Of course there was also a cover-up that included perjury across the Justice Department as they lied to Congress.

Rush Limbaugh’s comments are below. Fast and Furious comments begin around 7:18.

Mainstream media has been covering this on occasion, and Sharyl Attkisson at CBS News has been leading the way. Recent CBS News stories are here,and here.
An interesting report on Jaime Zapata below:

Fortunately this program has been exposed for what it is–another attempt at gun control. These leaders are smart enough to not make an open attempt similar to the Assault Weapons Ban of 1994. Unfortunately it has cost many American and Mexican lives, and will continue on that path. These firearms have not been recovered, and are still in the possession of the criminal gangs based in Mexico.

Interview with Sharyl Attkisson on C-SPAN. There are some very telling points here:

Two to the Body, One to the Head…

simon — Sat, 08 Oct 2011 19:36:46 +0000

Found an interesting video describing the concept of :

“Two to the body, one to the head, is guaranteed to leave them DEAD.”

FirearmPop made this interesting video demonstrating his technique for self defense in close quarters for those that carry concealed pistols. He demonstrates the good practice of shooting twice to the torso and once to the head for times that you must defend yourself. The important part is that he practices that way as well.

Practice is important for muscle memory; that is why all professional athletes spend time rehearsing their response for times when they are under pressure to perform. Defending yourself and your loved ones is even more important than some athlete winning a game.

Carrying and using a concealed firearm is an important responsibility. Practicing your response for those times you are threatened could save your life.

Accidental 9mm Through 40 Cal Glock

simon — Sun, 11 Sep 2011 01:21:50 +0000

I found an interesting video from Youtube user Comanchero762. He had the interesting experience of shooting 9mm ammo through his .40 caliber Glock.

Target shooting with his 9mm Glock 19 and his 40 cal Glock 23, he lost attention span and cross loaded the incorrect magazine. This is an interesting demonstration of what can happen when not paying close attention to detail at the gun range.

He is fortunate that nothing bad happened. The possibilities abound as to the dangers faced by this situation. Very fortunate that nothing worse happened.

M1 Carbine Info and History

simon — Sat, 27 Aug 2011 16:24:07 +0000

The M1 Carbine is a great American rifle that worked to help win World War II. Made by many manufacturers under government contract, total production measured 6 million units. Youtube user hickok45 demonstrates this wonderful gun in the following video.

Firing a .30 Cal cartridge, this gun was given to many troops in the Allied forces serving in WWII, Korea, and the Vietnam wars. Compact, lightweight, and ease of operation make this firearm friendly to use and operate.

Chamber Flags

simon — Sat, 09 Jul 2011 19:55:17 +0000

I ran across an interesting video on Youtube from RcHelicopter64 regarding the use of Chamber Flags. This of course is a safety measure that applies to semiautomatic firearms. Rifles and pistols that have an empty chamber can be identified easily with a chamber flag.

Chamber flags are a quick and inexpensive method of identifying unloaded firearms. They save time and energy from constantly checking whether a gun is loaded with a bullet in the firing chamber. This can be a valuable addition to your safety practices, especially where other people come into contact with your firearms.

U.S. Rep. Issa moves Gunrunner investigation forward

simon — Sat, 11 Jun 2011 14:45:51 +0000

U.S. Representative Darrell Issa (R-CA), is the Chairman of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform. In an interview on Fox News he discusses Project Gunrunner. His focal point is not what happened, but who in the Obama Administration was involved and to what extent. From Fox News on June 5, 2011. Thanks to oversightandreform.

Hopefully Senator Grassley and Congressman Issa can do a great job on their investigation and work to expose the truth about this failed project of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms.

U.S. Joint Special Operations Command

simon — Sat, 07 May 2011 14:33:13 +0000

The special, and secretive, military unit that killed Osama bin Laden is known as “SEAL Team Six.” Ray Suarez reports on these so-called special missions units.

This is a great special report from the PBS Newshour on the Special Operations units within the U.S. Military. Expected to number around 4,000 members, these are the tip of the spear for getting things done, usually under conditions of secrecy. These guys are highly equipped with all of the latest and greatest weapons, training, and equipment.

They are an army within an army.

Project Gunrunner Investigation Moving Slowly

simon — Wed, 27 Apr 2011 00:24:49 +0000

The federal government snubs a Congressional Subpoena for the ATF and U.S. Justice Department as the U.S. Congress works to investigate Project Gunrunner.

The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms (ATF) is accused of knowingly allowing guns (reported to number 1500) to be trafficked across the border into Mexico, resulting in the death of two U.S. Federal agents, including U.S. Border Patrol agent Brian Terry.

U.S. House of Representatives Republican Jason Chaffetz of Utah is interviewed along with comments from Judge Andrew Napolitano on Fox News regarding the investigation of the Project Gunrunner.

Thanks to RevolutionNewsDotUS2 for the well-done video!

Mixing Sports for Excitement!

simon — Sat, 26 Feb 2011 00:54:01 +0000

Sometimes a couple of sports need to be mixed to liven things up a bit.

Mixing the sport of Golf with Skeet Shooting would seemingly make a complimentary combination. One person hitting objects into the air, while another person shoots them back down.

Thanks SnoopyCk for the hilarious video!

This is a funny vid, sort of like Candid Camera but especially for gun nuts! With all of the serious things going on in life and the world, sometimes we just need to stop and have a good laugh.

This should make you smile next time you drive past a golf driving range.
