Weekend Knowledge Dump- February 21, 2014

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

IMG_4823_zpsafa51c70Ballistic testing of the 148 grain wadcutter target load out of a snubby .38.  This load is known for its mild recoil and extreme accuracy.  It’s a viable choice for self defense for anyone who is extremely recoil sensitive.  No expansion, but 18″ of penetration.  Considering that most .38 loads don’t expand out of 2″ barrels anyway, I wouldn’t feel bad about carrying this load.

If you don’t know what an EMP (Electro Magnetic Pulse) is and have plans to deal with its aftermath, you are WAY behind the curve. Right now, could you live six to 10 years without electricity? It would be smart to consider this possibility in your survival plans.  Check out the fictional books Lights Out and One Second After for ideas about what may happen if Iran hits us with an EMP and plan accordingly.
