    Hot Bullet Casings Can Finger the Criminal,Says UK Scientist

    This sort of thing is nothing new. Anyone that's been through basic training can tell you- there's nothing fingerprints like better than polished brass. Glad Batman could teach them something.

    Couple of AR Q's

    This is probably the target you're looking for. It's the M16 25 meter zero target. It should print without any trouble right at home. It's for the A2 iron sights, but should give you something to work with. Hope this helps.

    Texas Man Shoots Teen on Porch/Update/Plot Thickens

    future weapons bs

    I always thought Futureweapons would be better if they had Mike Rowe from Dirty Jobs. It'd be a much more entertaining show. I do like the idea of the Mythbusters crew, though. I call 'range coach' for Kari! ;)

    My First Concealed Carry Experience w/ LEO

    I'm sorry you feel that way, bloodedsky. It's supposed to be the other way 'round. One simple word. Integrity. Those without it should not wear a badge.

    keeping ammo in hot car

    I had no problem with rifle, pistol, shotgun, or belt fed ammo kept in a vehicle while in Iraq during the summer. The temp(unofficially) got to 148F, and inside the trucks was hotter. The guys with belted 40mm had no reported ammo problems either, but didn't fire many rounds at all. The...

    (AR) Deputy's gun reportedly discharges at IHOP

    The duty belt rides on top of the normal belt. The "keepers" secure and align the duty belt to the pants belt. They keep you looking neat and professional, and cut down on the "John Wayne" gunslinger look. That said, they are no small pain in the backside. Luckily, your pants belt is...

    What did you pay, and what's it worth now?

    I did the same kind of inventory recently. I'm about four grand up on what I paid. Guns are a decent investment- If you have any intention of selling them.;)

    Travel loaded to the range ???

    I always carry when transporting firearms to and from the range, and I never leave empty. My route to the club takes me through one of the sketchiest parts of town, and I'm transporting several hundred to several thousand dollars worth of desirable property. Besides, I don't want to make...

    User Mechanics Question

    One word- ergonomics. The gun 'fits' her better, and she's able to operate and shoot it better than your XD. The slide and frame fit her hand in such a way that everything 'lines up', and requires less perceived effort to operate. If I were you, I'd write off that Smith as hers. ;) You...

    Gun magazines for soldiers - question

    We have a winner! As long as the box is under 70 lbs(OSHA 1 person lift) it's good. I really appreciated the care packages from home when I was in the sand. An addition- get ahold of your home state's national guard office. They will give you the units that are deployed from your area, and...

    This is a joke right?

    Many zombies don't believe in me. They think I'm just a bedtime story made up to scare litte zombie children. I assure you, I exist. Sleep tight, zombies.:cool:

    Mythbusters: snipe through scope

    I have heard(not tested) that when match/special ball wasn't available, both snipers and match shooters would use AP, because the hardened core made the bullet more consistent, and therefore more accurate, than M2 ball. If I'm wrong, let me know. I dug that gem from way in the back of the old...

    NY: PTSD = no guns 4 u?

    When I got home from the sandbox, I had a cursory psych screening at the VA. The "Are you a danger to yourself and others" sort of thing. The therapist(who I wondered why he was working at the VA- young, long hair- not the type you'd expect) seemed genuinely intimidated by me. I carry myself...

    The Departed

    PPK. The PPK/S has an exposed steel backstrap. The PPK has a wrap-around grip.(visible in the shot) I still wouldn't want to take one in the knee from one.

    Reply from Brady Poll: Reading is Fundamental

    Here is the reply I recieved after responding to a Brady "Gun Control: It's for the children" poll. Apparently, they don't have anyone reading the results prior to sending an email. Dear (ArmyCop119), Thank you for participating in our 2007 Legislative Priorities Survey, your feedback...

    Remington Rand M1911A1

    Magazine That blued, seamed magazine is a 'G' marked, "General Shaver' mag. General Shaver was a subsidiary of Remington Rand, and was supplied with RR 1911A1s when new. I have heard they can go for $60 to $80 to collectors wanting to complete a RR pistol.

    Road Rage of CCW Holder In Michigan

    I've had a CCW permit for 16 years. When I got home from the sandbox, I found I got angrier more easily, and for things I would have otherwise blown off. I did the responsible thing, and took a few months off from carrying. It took a while to adjust to not having a weapon 24/7, but an...
