Can't go outside on New Years Eve in Phoenix without worrying about some asshole firing his gun in the air. Not only it's incredibly dumb, it's down right deadly. Sheesh where do these morons think it's safe to use firearms in celibration and not thinking where the bullets end.

Now this is one tradition that should not have been started.

Who's that crazy kook that's destroying the world. It's Zorc (That's me) It's Zorc and Pals.

What exactly do you figure the odds of being hurt by a falling bullet are?

If you take into account the metal plate in his head, and the magnetics of the bullet as it flys through an electrically charged cloud, pretty high.

If he's dense enough, he might have his own gravitational field, too. Always keep that in mind.

I mean, that's like saying that people shouldn't eat beef because of the possibility that the cows might rise up against their cruel masters.

There are really more important things to be concerned about.

Although the actual odds are pretty low, every year several people get to find out what it's like.

Didn't Brandon Lee die because the wadding in the blank was fired too close to him or something? I didn't think it was that they'd actually loaded live ammo. Been a while, so I forgot.

Besides ballistics is more of a Jania thing. Archery and such. I'm much more into explosions, acid, etc.

The story as I heard it was that one of the blanks was accidentally loaded with a camel spider, which, upon impact, proceeded to eat his face.

Also I don't think modern blanks use wadding.

It had something to do with the barrel being jammed with something, the blank shot it out like a bullet.

I can't remember the whole story, dammit.

Actually, they had loaded the gun with bullets but no gunpowder was in them, and the primers were all supposed to have been already used. There was a primer that wasn't and it went off in a very small explosion lodging the lead into the barrel. Blanks were then loaded into the gun. Since blanks actually use the gunpowder but no projectile it should have been fine, but the lead was still lodged in the barrel. Upon firing of the gun, the blank went off as normal, but instead the force pushed out the lead as if it were a real bullet.

Going back a little further, an actor named (I believe) John Eric Huxom sustained a fatal head injury from discharging a .44 magnum revolver in close proximity to his head. The weapon was loaded with wadless blanks, but the pressure pulse was sufficent to drive skull fragments through his brain, killing him instantly. The moral of this story:

Don't fuck around with a firearm, ever.

One of the reasons I hate revolvers: if you use a modified Weaver stance, you get bitten by little bit of powder blast through the cylinder every time you fire.

Not dangerous, but annoying.

The 10mm? Or the .40?

For my home defense weapon, I just use Glazers. Whatever I shoot gets to absorball the kinetic energy of my 9mm.

If they get past the doggy, of course.

.40 is nice, heck I have a couple.. But my heart still belongs to the venerable .45ACP.
I also like the new .357Sig. but Factory loads are hard to find.

I like .45ACP as a SMG round, but my round of choice for handguns has always been .357 magnum. I like the 1911's ergonomics, but they are a pain to break down for cleaning and I'm bad enough about neglecting to do so as it is. I was leaning towards .45 when I bought my USP, till I tried both it and the .40 on for size. The .40 fits my hand better, and the shop offered me a deal I couldn't pass up (less than those ugly Glocks, just over half the price of the .45 USP, and it's brushed stainless to boot) so I bought it and have been happy with it ever since.

The problem with shooting a bullet in the air is that it's going to to arrive on the ground at the same speed (minus small friction) that it was shot. That's why it's stupid to shoot in the air (I mean, why the hell would someone want to shoot in the air for? They want to damage the Heaven? Or kill the clouds?)

Does anybody else think this sounds like some faux philosophical statement? I can see it now: "They shot at the Heavens, but hit the ground!".
