http://gunnyg.wordpress.com/2008/01/27/usmc-pushes-for-762mm-proof-helmet/ The article speaks mostly of the potential for developing one and what technologies they use now. Interesting enough. There wasn't a gear section, so I stuck it here.

This article is a bit of a jaw dropper, but I really can't find much reason to disagree with him. I like the 1911, I really do, but I've never owned one, I've never even shot one. I've shot my Grandfather's Luger, that he "picked up off a kraut", but never the 1911. Nevertheless, the 1911 has...

I was watching Shooting USA on The Outdoor channel and a segment came up giving tips on successfully navigating uspsa events and it reminded me of a similar event I had been to. I borrowed a friend's Glock 34 and noticed during the competition, probably 6 or 7 times, I would get a false reset...

I try to use proper terminology when referring to anything tech related, guns included. Which is the correct term for the sound deadening 'can', suppressor, or silencer? When I hear suppressor, I think of muzzle brake for a 1911. I've heard some people on here call silencers suppressors. I...

Awesome conversation in the first version of this thread. I didn't want to drift too far with it and make the thread 50 pages long, so here's the question, shotguns, silencer worthy? I found this thread http://www.thehighroad.org/showthread.php?t=371242 to be the most informative about it...

I know there's a ton of misinformation out there about the evil silencers and only James Bond and/or ninjas use them, but I could use some info. I would like to take a Para Ordnance 1911 (.45 acp), put a silencer and flashlight/laser on it and make it my primary HD weapon. My reasoning...

I found this thread and thought I'd share. http://www.physicsforums.com/showthread.php?t=10591 My initial question was how a bullet with similar ballistics, but significantly different weights (a 140 grain .270 Winchester bullet traveling at 2,916 ft/s with 2,644 ft·lbf and a 300 grain...

This is my first revisit to the the newly reorganized THR. Upon reading the new policy I'm a bit hesitant to post anything now, especially as it concerns a photo that I didn't take :eek: :scrutiny: I still consider this my gun home, so I'll ask. There was an ad, in a fairly recent American...

I know it's a CZ clone, but would the laser grips for the CZ-75b fit it? http://www.crimsontrace.com/Home/Products/CZ/LG475/tabid/209/Default.aspx

I dig the weaponry on this show, but of course the gun play is majorly lacking in realism. One scene where Ashley was trying to hit Druitt with some sort of semi-auto, the camera was on the gun, BANG BANG...the slide never moved :uhoh:, but there was a flashy spark in the background...

Has anyone seen this? seems like the bullet is mostly unidentifiable, but I thought it was noteworthy. There's even rifling marks on the bullet. http://www.acura.com/index.aspx?initPath=TL Click on the photo and video gallery link, then the little picture of the bullet. I couldn't provide a...

http://www.kilgorenewsherald.com/news/2008/0921/front_page/001.html Some interesting local news for me. Strange though, it seems like it's been a long time since I've seen any headlines involving guns, then yesterday 3 pop up out of nowhere; this one, the one in Finland and the other in...

There is a noticeable amount of threads that start out with some sort of 'don't wanna offend anyone' disclaimers at the beginning; what's up with that? I don't want to willingly offend anyone, but people are going to think what they're going to think, regardless of any attempt on our part to...

I took my step-son's new bike up to the gas station to fill up his 2 flat tires (can't find the bike pump). Well, the front tire fills up fine, but apparently the tire on the back wasn't seated properly on the rim because as I'm squatting filling this tire up, POW! the tube blew up right in my...

I've posted this question in the holster section, but no one seems to frequent there and I got nada responses. WHAT IWB HOLSTER WILL FIT A WITNESS ELITE MATCH???? I've searched everywhere and the closest answer I got was from loop here on THR; he said that basically anything that fits the...

Strangely configured gun, I don't know what caliber it shoots. It seems like one big shot, but the 30,000 and 60,000 per minute shots they show, better display how fast it is. I think of high explosive mining; when they wire all the explosives together and each boom is separated by fractions...

As per DPS: About how long does it take to get to my door after they get to that point?

I started a thread in shotguns asking about refinishing my pardner shotgun and got to looking around H&Rs site, nice :cool: I've been perusing around, researching what sort of varmint type rifle I might buy someday and I like what I see in H&Rs selection. However, I'm somewhat torn between...

Okay, for those of you unfamiliar with this model, it's a single shot, break open, SAO shotgun; the one I've got is a 12 gauge, at least it is now. I, just tonight, discovered that New England Firearms was bought out by Harrington and Richardson, but it appears that the design of the New...

What's the word on these pistols? It appears as if the only difference between the 800 and the OSS is, the 800 is hammer fired, as opposed to striker fired and there is some new take down process that's supposed to be easier....They look pretty sweet. I read that they should be on the shelves...
