Ammunition : Considering A Plastic Bullet Alternative

In “Guns do kill people,” an article by Philip Caputo on the changes that need to be made to gun safety and gun laws, Caputo brings to light the problem that mass destruction firearms create in our world. Most do not understand the harm of semi-automatic handguns, but as someone who has had experience firsthand of the destruction they have, he shows the impact that is made by them. Based on his experience with semi-automatic weapons and his research of past violence in the United States, Caputo makes a compelling argument to justify outlawing mass destruction firearms.

Firearms are often featured on the news due to poor use as well as featured in popular culture’s television crime dramas, but have you stopped to ponder about where these devices came from, the different types, the trajectory patterns that are created their bullets and how they work? The following paragraphs are designed to address all of the following questions.

first, New technology in "smart guns" recognizes the owners' fingerprints or hand grip. accordingly, Those guns are not currently mass-produced in the U.S., a recent "60 Minutes" report found, in part because of fears that they might lead to greater gun control. (Barrett) stated by the author. this means that if we start mass producing in the U.S we can make guns less lethal rather than buying them from other countries. f we make guns less lethal it will decrease violence in the U.S. Next, The Obama administration also dropped plans to try to ban a type of ammunition called green-tip bullets that can pierce a police officer's protective vest if fired from a handgun after facing major criticism. as a result, Handgun ammunition that can pierce body armor has been illegal since 1986, but green-tipped rifle bullets were considered an exception because of their use in sport shooting.(Lepore) this means that it was illegal before and obama thought about legalizing it but received criticism. these weapons have been legal but need change now. finally, A high-capacity magazine ban, which could limit the number of bullets in a magazine dramatically, has been considered in Congress but has not passed. Eight states and the District of Columbia have these bans in place, and California may also have a ballot initiative on this in 2016. in contrast these innovations could make or break the 2nd amendment problem and fix the gun

The cartridge is the ammunition that is placed into the chamber of the firearm. Each firearm is designed to fire a certain caliber cartridge. Each caliber ensures a tight fit in the chamber of its assigned firearm, which will not allow any gases to escape once fired. Firing the wrong caliber cartridge could result in a gun jam, or you could destroy the firearm. Bullet cartridges are a combination of a projectile (bullet), a propellant (gunpowder), and a primer (explosive cap), all contained in a metal casing. The spark ignites the gunpowder. Most people believe that it is the explosion that propels the projectile; however, this theory is false. When the powder ignites, it releases gases that expand and push on the projectile. Sir Isaac Newton’s third law of motion, which implies that for every action, there is an equal but opposite reaction. As the expanding gases exert force on the projectile, it is forced into the barrel of the firearm. The recoil of the firearm is the equal but opposite force created by the gases forcing the projectile to accelerate out the

handgun such as a .44 magnum, it has more weight to the bullet which means a larger amount

Have you ever wondered what things affect the penetration of an object? There are many factors that affect the penetration of an object, but one of the greatest factors is the velocity. The penetration of an object depends on the velocity at which your ammunition travels. The ideal type of bullet is measured by its complete penetration. Theoretically, the higher the velocity, the deeper the penetration into the targeted object. The FPS rating (feet per second) is a key factor.

The egg for example resembles the shape of the boy’s own head and is very fragile with gelantine-like contents being expelled upon impact. The bottle of water and watermelon serve a vital purpose in appealing through logos with the sheer precision of the trajectory being shown as the bullet cuts through the water and how effortlessly the bullets tears through a thick watermelon. Watching these bullets eradicate the items on screen gives the audience an idea of how powerful guns truly are. With the combination of item choice, the slowing down of the bullets to show the audience just how relentlessly the bullet causes damage is a real life example of why guns are to be associated with true harm they

Chances are good that you will find Hornady ammo in just about any sporting goods stores, or any store offering sales of ammo. The company is a leading manufacturer of both civilian and military use ammo. The product lines stretch from building the original .30 caliber bullets to a full line of .22 caliber all the way up to high velocity .50 caliber and up ammo. The largest ammo sales are sold to wholesalers that market and supply ammo through channels of stores and ammo depot to the public and military. The company moto from the late Mr. Hornady founder of the company was 10 bullets in the same whole. The pricing strategies of the company are standard and very competitive with its competition. Hornady Manufacturing ammo in my opinion sells its self. Through social media, advertisement through its major sales companies such as Cabela’s all the way to the small ammo shop on the little back roads towns, Hornady bullets have become a name known by the world to be a trusted bullet at a price worth paying. The company just last couple of year unveiled its latest project allowing a bullet to be equipped with a fast action video camera that can be view from a smartphone or mobile device. This innovation allows the shooter to shoot a round through a rifle and then replay the video of the shot to precisely and effectively sight in a rifle in a very futuristic way. The Hornady Manufacturing website has Accurate, Deadly, Dependable as a registered

The technology behind gunfire and the mechanisms of firearms is not as complicated as one might think. Almost every gun has to have a Muzzle, a Breech, a Hammer and a Trigger. The Muzzle (or the front) of the gun which is where the bullet comes out of varies in size, thickness, and barrel number depending on the type of firearm. The Breech (or the Back) of the gun either has a spring to make the gun fire, or is where the gun loads from. Earlier guns could only be loaded in the Muzzle and newer firearms load in the Breech with either magazines filled with cartridges or just a few bullets being put in the firearm at a time. The Hammer is the part of the gun that makes contact with the bullets primer which ignites the powder and pushes the bullet

    It is our desire as humans to be good, sure there a couple of that are jerks thrown in there, but that inevitable. Those who actually do good will go on to be admired by others, they will be seen as heroes, the ones who were raised right, they will be praised. Sure most people want to be good. But what about those who don’t ? What if the bad people had every intention of being bad and causing pain. What if the bad people think that what they’re doing is okay because they were never cared about enough to be taught otherwise. I have stayed up countless nights thinking about what a bad person could be doing to someone at that exact moment. Who is being raped? Who is being beaten? Who is being starved? Who is being murdered? All questions that pass through my mind as I lie sleepless in a quiet dark room that seeks peace of mind and lead me to the conclusion that we are truly born with luck. As a matter of fact we are so lucky that most people kill to be in our positions. If you truly think about it you will realize that we’re all lucky we are to be living the lives that we’re living, or to even be alive at all. The fact that we can drop dead at any second if truly astonishing and I wish I could say that no one in my close family has experienced any of that pain, I wish because someone really close to me already has, my mother.

When speaking of playing in a safe place and controlled environment, most of the time it’s in the woods or a rocky field with bushes and/or trees. Many people don’t spend quality time in nature, even on their free days. Airsoft is an unquestionably fun way to interact with nature, while getting a good day’s exercise. With that comes a bundle of health benefits involving spending time in nature, such as increased mental health, improved short-term memory and reduced stress. Spending time in a natural environment, even has possible anti-cancer effects as well as boosting the immune system. Also increases a person’s awareness of their surroundings, of both movement and nature. For the people who worry about the plastic pellet ammunition being harmful or littered in the environment, there are biodegradable ammunition that comes at a slightly greater

The controversy of gun control is a topic that is talked about very frequently in national and world news. In the United States, there is many gun related deaths every year. Many people believe that taking the 2nd amendment away from all citizens will lower the rate of gun related crimes. However, a survey was given to officers of the law and 91% say that they support concealed carry of firearm to citizens who have not been convicted of crimes. The news often turns this topic into an ethic debate and show many of the negative consequences of a firearm. The situation can be resolved with the right course of actions. The solution can be found with using problem solving techniques that many engineers have to have. One of these skills is the use of surveys and statics. Which can be inputted into a program that will show if statics is significant. Amount of crimes committed with other weapons than firearms, how a refinement of laws based on statics, and information of private ownership of a firearm can help develop a solution on gun control worldwide.
