Limit Ammunition To Control Hand Guns
Limit Ammunition To Control Hand Guns April 30, 1975 Those who would ban hand guns might well consider the old riddle: "Which comes first, the chicken or the egg?" A few cities have adopted legislation prohibiting pistols, revolvers and the so-called "Saturday Night Specials" in a effort to halt the soaring crime rate. So far, the effort has been like trying to empty the ocean with a tea spoon. The next town over sells cheap weapons, and no questions asked. Congress, therefore, seems about ready to consider the controversial proposal seriously. Certainly only a nation-wide ban has any chance to be effective. I support hand gun legislation, but oppose attempts to curtail shoulder guns. Pocket guns...

History of the Ak-47
Everybody knows about the AK-47, but not much about its technical information or the man behind it. I'll start off talking about the man; Mikhail Kalashnikov (born November 10, 1919). Kalashnikov should be a familiar name, because the AK-47 is sometimes referred to it as that. Anyways, Kalashnikov was born to a poor peasant family in a small village located in Altai Krai, a part of Russia. He was an engineer for a train depot for awhile, and that is where he picked up his knowledge of mechanics. After being drafted and serving in the Red Army for three years, he was sent home because he was badly wounded. As he recovered in the hospital, he started working on gun designs, and after he healed he went...

Pellet Guns a Collectors Opinion
There are many arguments for and against gun control in this country and with so many misusing firearms it's not hard to understand the position of those in favor of more control or banning and those who wish to see the owning of guns remain a choice that individuals make and not the government. I generally consider myself a fairly liberal person and while I believe there are always stronger ways to keep guns out of the hands of people who would use them improperly and to do other harm, I also believe that removing guns from society all together will only force immoral individuals to find another weapon with which to threaten us with. In addition to traditional firearms, there has been a lot of...
Learn Breathing And Trigger Control Of Your Rifle
Following is an interview with a gun specialist: "I would start out with a good .22 magnum rifle, in a bolt action. Learn / practice breathing, and practice good trigger control. I do not know if you plan to use iron sights or mount a scope on the rifle, but practice with iron sights first. You can try seachering the web and see what you come up with." "They make .22 rifles, in a m-16 version. In .22 long rifle. The sights are similar. And you will have a familiarization with "Military" sights. Breathing, use of finger on the trigger, range estimation, and compensating for the wind are just a few of the things you will have to master. Knowing the weapon is the most important thing though."

Heavy Metal Rock Is Still Alive And Well
Even if heavy metal is seen by many people as evil and destructive it is still very popular among young and old. It is pretty obvious that the thing teenagers today (and yesterday and tomorrow) are crazy about is music. Of all the musical genres the one with probably the most enthusiastic fans has to be heavy metal and all the hundreds of sub-categories, whether it is classic hard rock or grindcore. Discordant heavy metal music struck a chord with many teenagers during the late '70s and '80s. The loud, fast, guitar-driven music has since languished commercially as successive generations have chosen newer soundtracks to fuel their rebellion against the establishment. Many of the original fans...

Military Snipers Vs. Police Snipers
A "sniper" is someone who strikes at a target from an undisclosed location. A sniper rifle, therefore, would be any rifle a sniper uses. But commonly, a "sniper rifle" is the name given to any rifle with inherent accuracy, and modifications made to wring the most accuracy out of it. Most common sniper rifles are built from a Remington 700 bolt action rifle. That gun is readily available at most gun shops as an well made and accurate hunting rifle. Modifications may include a cryo-stress relieved heavy barrel, a composite dimensionally stable stock with aluminum bedding blocks to "free float" the barrel (the barrel is not touched by the stock, so that there is no stress placed on it, and each shot is...

During the proto types of Eugene Stoner, he was developing the AR-10 rifles, with the hope it would be the new US military firearm, but it was never meant to be.

Take it From the Experts - Ignatius Piazza
Dr. Ignatius Piazza's announcement a little over three days ago that Front Sight Firearms Training Facility would be offering free, comprehensive firearm training to designated School Safety Monitors from any and all schools across the nation caused not a small amount of stir. Not surprisingly, many teachers, administrators and parents were frightened by this notion. Many conservative thinkers (that's small "c" conservative, not big "C" Conservative) are convinced that guns are evil; to them the very thought of putting them into schools is anathema. But knowledge is the key to this problem, for through knowledge comes responsibility. With responsible gun control in capable hands, school shootings...
Gauge or Caliber?
Writers often need to know just what kind of weaponry their protagonists are using. Here's a useful primer as to the different terms and what they mean. CALIBER (or calibre) is "usually" a numerical term, without the decimal point, in a cartridge's name to indicate the bullet diameter. Alternatively it can be a measurement of the diameter of the gun's barrel. It is described in most glossaries as: "The internal diameter of a gun's barrel." This can be measured either in English units or in metric. The measurement can be taken in a rifled arm either land to land or groove to groove. E.g., in most US .30-caliber rifles, the diameter of the bore land to land is .300 inches, while groove to...
5 Safety Tips for Hunting Day

US Army AK-47 Machine Gun vs. the M16 or M14
Which would you rather see the United States Army using, the AK-47 or the M16? Most people prefer the M-16 without a doubt. The M-16/M4 has superior accuracy, ergonomics, and is just as reliable as the AK with proper cleaning and lubrication. The available accessories such as rail systems, optical sights, suppressors, etc. far outweigh the available accessories for the AK system. The AK is a fine rifle for untrained peasants, and conscripts, but for a modern Army there are far better choices. First off the M-14 fires the 7.62 X 51mm round, also known as the .308 Winchester. The AK-47 fires the 7.62 X 39mm. These are two vastly different rounds. In military loads the 7.62 NATO drives a 150-168 grain...

The History of Kayaks
Canoeing and Kayaking go back to the dawn of human culture. The word "kayak" literally means "hunter's boat." The kayak was useful for transport, but it was a miraculous hunting tool, facilitating a quiet approach towards one's desired prey. The covered deck of the kayak made it more sea-worthy and better able to shed waves than the traditional canoe. Kayaks are mostly used during summer months, primarily for hunting and fishing. Similar to the kayak, the umiak is a larger boat which can carry up to 20 people. The umiak and the kayak existed side by side, both finding useful niches for transporting and hunting throughout history. Kayak design varied according to the specific needs of inhabitants of...

Rod Guides
In fly fishing, the rod has several functions and useful purposes at once. Above everything else, you should pay attention more to your rod and its parts because the rod is going to be more or less, your sole companion during the actual moment you'll be fishing.

You'll simply get a "feel" if you're going to have a fish for dinner. Just like any other equipment in fly fishing, a rod guide has several different types. Basically, the rod guides' rings are the ones responsible in preventing your lines from fraying because its...
New Rifle For Our Troops
The 5.56 is going to be the "next" caliber. As of now, there is no need, and no plan to replace it. 2nd, there are about 5 threads on this topic. There will be a replacement in the future, no time soon though. I for one am in no hurry to see the M16/M4 replaced works just fine but there are plenty of upgrades that could be done instead of wasting more money on a new weapon, but that's just my opinion. PEO Soldier is still following the OICW line, with OICW 1 being the carbine in 5.56mm. The XM8 program is dead in the water, HK's design was dropped and last word was that they are allowing companies submit their designs, but this was a year ago. And now that this has been said there's going to be a...

The early designs were usually constructed from saplings or small branches, with the string generally made of animal hide. The arrows were normally nothing more than sharpened sticks with a notch in the end for the string. Specimens dating more than 50,000 years old have been found, as well as cave painting depicting hunters using them. The archery bow was utilized for many other things throughout history as well. During the Middle Ages the construction improved, using a composite of bone, wood and animal tendons for the string...
