It is illegal to spray teflon on bullets because it makes them able to penetrate a bulletproof vest. If you try to buy teflon and ammo at the same time they won't let you do it.
Uh-oh, that's a new one. Problem is the priming compound all the way around the rim is consumed in the initial firing. It could be done, but would require new priming compound being added which usually requires something to spin the case to sling it into the rim while still liquid.
Rotating in the chamber to an unfired spot is my failure to fire drill for crap 4 buck a box Federal target grade 22lr. Current record is 8 strikes w/ no fire, looks like a .22lr wagonwheel. JUNK!
Im going to have to 2nd, and 3rd and 4th the one about 357s in engine blocks...
I tried mine out against a 1/4 inch mild steel plate....didnt dent it.
Dont think it would do much to an engine block either.
The AR 223 on the other hand...made swiss of that plate.

Oh, and "flat shooting" ammo....all ammo accelerates due to gravity toward the earth at the same rate....Of course, higher velocity rounds will seem to shoot "flatter".
Even better is flatter shooting "guns"....again, it is a function of the velocity, so "flat" is a misnomer.

Oh, this one's easy...
"Glocks don't blow up" and when they do, "It's the ammo's fault." Never mind the fact that we were getting regular NCIC teletype bulletins on these occurrences from the time the .40's came out; never mind the fact that you can go pick up brass behind a .40 Glock, and find a high percentage of seriously-bulged cases. Never mind the fact that the 'offending ammo' works fine in other guns; never mind the fact that there are now a good number of non-LE shooters who have either experienced a blow-up first hand, or seen it occur on a public range.
The faithful wail, "It's not really happening! You're making it up because you hate Glocks." Right. Kind of reminds me of when we were potty-training the kids, and they used to tell us that somebody else had peed their diaper.
Glocks are not what I hate. What I hate is the fact that the manufacturer has produced a moderately-dangerous product, refuses to address the problem, and the buying public (including the idiots that make procurement decisions for LE agencies) just keeps right on patronizing them, without requiring that they fix the problem.
Sorry, but you asked.

When Lebe called me a "yankee." That was silly, made me feel like I'd stepped back through time.

From a college professor who was a living, breathing example of the old addage that "Those who can, do. Those who can't, teach."
He said that the most powerful handgun round was the .45 ACP, and that 'they' did tests where they shot mannequins and compared .45 ACP to .357 Magnum. He said that the .357 just put a hole in the mannequin, but that the .45 ACP knocked it down every time, even if it was just barely hit in the hand.
He didn't know anything about 3d animation, either.:banghead:

I looked through but didn't see this one:
"Guns kill."
When people say that I always respond with "I have several guns and none of them have ever tried to kill me."
This is actually true. Many people see a 1911 and buy it on the spot.

I have a doosy,
My sister calls, and says husband and I are into it, bring a gun over, I hung up the phone.
For my sons 5th birthday I got him a bb gun(Red Rider). Mon and two of my sisters are present!
When I opened the package the howling and screaming started. The wailing commenced.
Oh no! He is going to shoot someones eye out. He is going to shoot somebody.
I say no, he will only shoot it when I am around.
Last summer I got him his second .22 rifle.
For his 10th birth he wanted a pellet rifle so he could cull the ground squirrles.

The absolute silliest one I ever (keep hearing) heard is:
"Cooperate and it will go better for you"
We weren't discussing guns, but the man who said it was wearing one!:banghead:
The second best one was back when DA/SA autos were first coming out, it went like this;
"Totally safe. You don't even have to carry one in the chamber. The first DA pull actually chambers the first bullet for you"
By a supposed afficiando no less! (aren't they all, though?)

"If you double-tap a semi-auto too quickly it will jam. You have to leave at least a second between each shot."

my favorite:
the guy that told me (while looking at my Beretta 92), "that's illegal. You aren't allowed to own a gun that can hold more than 10 rounds!"
Explained to him that gun designs from before the ban are the same as those after the ban, but the mags have some form of "stop" in them. His response: "No... they had to redesign the pistols, so they couldn't hold more than 10 rounds"

with so many already listed, it's hard to think of any more I've heard. Here's a few though.
1. "You can't get a .22 magnum in a Contender cause it's a magnum. Too much pressure."
2. "It's not me, it's the gun" (to explain lack of accuracy
3. "Machine guns are illegal"
4. "you can't hunt with a single shot, you gotta have a auto for more lead in the air."
5. "Glocks never have problems" (many @ Thunder Ranch while I attended class did)
6. "A .44 magnum is moe powerfull from a Desert Eagle".
That's good for now. By the way, 1, 2, 3 and 6 were all from the same person. Used to work w/ him and gotta see him at the gun club meetings. makes for a comical time

rifle bullets begain expanding as soon as they leave the barrel, the heat melts the lead core and they expand.
it took actual high speed photos of a .270 bullet in mid flight to shut this guy up.:banghead:

"My 9mm at home has a scope on it in case I have to shoot without my glasses on."
Maybe Im wrong - but that wouldnt seem to work to well in the close quarters - field of view and all.

In one of his books, Peter Capstick told the story of the two jokers, back around 1900, who killed two elephants with a .22 LR in the "armpit" area- the first more or less by accident, the second with witnesses to prove they weren't lying about the first. Not that it's recommended and they had backup.
Also, Carlos Hathcock shot an NVA with an M-2 at 2500 meters in Viet Nam, about 1.5 miles. Guy made the mistake of standing where Carlos had sighted in the scope on the M-2.

I remember a news report in which a suspect's lawyer complained that the police pointed a "AK-15 Semi-automatic machine gun" at her client.

I've heard several, but one of the best I heard recentaly. As I was looking at a Browning Hi-Power I was told "If you really want a good 9mm you outght to look at that Hipoint"
Now I'm not say the Hipoint is a bad gun, but I think most would agree it's not in the same class as a Hi-Power.

"If you shoot an intruder and he gets out of the house before he dies, drag him back inside!"
Like a first year rookie cop wouldn't be able to figure that one out.
Umm, Sisco, I had both an Indiana State cop and a Linton PD tell me EXACTLY that a few years ago, after a series of break-ins at a restaurant I owned. Then they added "Call us, we'll take care of it from there..."
Ummm, yeah, ok.

Should be the Second Amendment...
I did hear a retired military officer say the ".30 caliber AK-47 rounds have a longer range than the M-16's .223 rounds". Stated during the military operations in Afghanistan.
