Weekend Knowledge Dump- November 23, 2012

 

 

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.

 

Dirty Tricks of Government Forces: Where Deception and Deadliness Meet Inside a Gun

 

 

I get surplus ammunition of questionable origin donated to the PD all the time. I generally shoot it up to dispose of it and I’ve never had any real issues. After reading this article, I may change that practice. It talks about the relatively common practice of leaving cartridges loaded with high explosives rather than gunpowder laying around the enemy battlefield. The hopes are that the enemy tries to use the ammo and blows himself up.

I could easily see some of this stuff getting mixed into a case of surplus imported rifle ammo. Be careful!

CARRY THE MOST GUN POSSIBLE

 

 

Mas makes some very good points. I won’t say that a .38 snub or .380 auto can’t do the job. Statistically, they have proven to resolve the majority of situations where they have been used. It’s also true that statistically speaking, you aren’t likely to need a gun at all!

 

We carry guns for those “long tail” events…for situations that fall outside the statistical norm. I choose to carry a gun (Glock 19) that will carry me through even if the parameters of my gunfight fall outside the statistical norm as well.

SPARROWS UNCUFF LINK

 

This is a pretty cool product…a set of cuff links concealing  hidden handcuff keys.  It might be useful for some of you.  It’s also something useful for you cops to know about….although I don’t think I’ve ever arrested anyone wearing cufflinks!

 

 What is “Cover” in your home.

 

 

Useful (even if informal) study showing how several .223 rounds penetrate through various household appliances and pieces of furniture.

 

Magpul M3 PMAG Compatibility Issues

 

 

Many of you are eagerly anticipating the arrival of the new generation of P-Mags for your AR-15.  If you have an oversized trigger guard, they may not work.  Buyer beware.

 

 

Chasing the Truth About Supressors and Accuracy

 

 

A good article about how supressors may or may not affect accuracy.  In my experience, I’ve found that my rimfire supressors change POA/POI fairly significantly…much more than supressors on centerfire guns.
