Weekend Knowledge Dump- April 19, 2013

 

Here are a few links to articles and videos I found interesting this week and want to share.  Some are intellectual.  Some are informative.  Some are just fun.  If you have some free time, check them out this weekend.

 

12 Gauge birdshot damage

W1

A good reminder about firearms safety and some graphic photos of the damage 12 gauge birdshot will do at close range.  This is a horrific wound, but please don’t think that I advise using birdshot for self defense.  I do not.  It simply lacks the versatility of buckshot.  If your fight goes beyond 20 feet or so, birdshot isn’t likely to cause enough damage to result in a physical incapacitation.  At contact distance, it works great.  Beyond that, not so much.
