    History question

    Greetings, I remember reading that in a novel years ago and now I just read that again in Invasion:New York. I know the writer does not have a huge knowledge in firearms, it shows at multiple places. But I tried to find out where that idea started where the USSR block had ammo that could...

    Accidental discharge

    Anyone knows of any modern small size concealable pistol or revolver that will discharge while dropped on the ground? I do not on the top of my head. Even a good old 1911 model without the firing pin block would have to be dropped on the nose from quite high so the inertia of the firing pin...
