We spent the next few hours reading everything we could about these infrasound weapons. Dr. Russell had detailed notes as well as schematics explaining the inner workings of these deadly weapons. I didn't know if I could replicate them, but with all these detailed drawings, I felt like I could maintain some for quite a while.
We each powered up our weapons before leaving the lab. I noticed Hank partially drawing his revolver, and then letting it fall back into place. It was a practice ancient swordsman used centuries ago. In those days, they called it, "clearing their scabbards," but the purpose was the same. Henry had just made sure his gun could easily be drawn from his holster.
I succumbed to the same compulsion and cleared my own handgun. Like Hank, I was unsure

hadn't thought of that," he said.
A slapping noise brought us back to reality. Shining our lights in the direction of the sound, we saw a walker stumbling our way. Its gait was affected by what looked like a broken leg. Behind it came two more.
"Here's a test we can actually witness," I said, pointing my infrasound weapon at our attackers. "Listen to this!"
I pulled my trigger and nothing perceivable happened. The only thing that was different was that the dead at the end of the hall immediately dropped to the ground.
"Awesome!" Hank said.
"Freakin' awesome!" I added to his original comment.
We danced around in the hallway for a minute until our better sense took over. A quick look down the corridor in each direction made us feel secure once again.
"Let's get inside," I suggested.
"No!" Hank said emphatically. "I need to study one of the dead."
"Really?" I asked. "Tell me you aren't gonna dissect one of these nasty things."
Henry paused a moment. "I could say I'm not, but I'd be full of crap," he said as he shrugged.
"Just tell me I don't have to touch them," I begged.
"You don't have to touch them," he replied. "In fact, if you keep watch I can do what I need right
At approximately 11:51 a.m., I had the gun loaded, in my hand and ready to shoot. All we had ...
A starving man paves his own highway with the calloused soles of his hunger. Out on the untamed wastelands, forests, and prairies it was the way of the gun, the knife, and the axe for all that managed to survive. And survive these brave men and women did with a sheer will of endurance that the pampered of today’s world has not come to know even the shadow of. In our modern comfort we live in what legacy these bold souls carved out of this nation, and much of the thanks we must give is passed to the sweat-hewned implements of their survival, the weapons of the frontier.
“Well, I would try to get them to stop, but if that didn’t work I would go help him.”
Then after having her pistol for a while, she felt like it gave her supremacy in dangerous situations. A gun is an incredibly powerful tool. As Uncle Ben once said, “With great power comes great responsibility.” Concealed weapons are a great thing for American citizens to protect themselves, but using them responsibly is imperative. And Linda did not handle her weapon
Once the firearm is taken to the lab it is dusted for fingerprints and examined for blood, fibers, paint, or anything else that can be evidence. The police will compare the firearm to the bullets that are found around crime scene. If they do not match to the firearm found at the scene that means the police have to look for another gun somewhere around the scene. They also can compare gun shell casings to suspect’s personal
Phan handed the gun to me and I was able to unload the weapon. I identified it as Taurus 38 caliber revolver black in color. I observed the weapon was damaged with hammer broken and rust spots. I asked Forrest what was going on with his car. Forrest stated that he needed to just put some oil in it.
After carrying the weapon around in his jacket pocket all afternoon, the defendant and Long met at a dairy store to eat. While in the store, Malone reloaded the revolver, this time placing the bullet in the chamber to the very right of the firing pin. While the two boys sat at the bar top of the dairy store, Malone asked the decedent if he was up for a game of Russian Poker. According to Malone, Long shrugged indifferently. Taking that as a yes, Malone cocked the revolver,
For the end of this course, we were instructed to use some cleaning materials that we had read about during the lab's course. For my assignment, I do not own two of the same type of weapons. I won a Colt LE 6920 (safe Queen), Taurus PT111 Millennium, and a Heritage Arms .22 lr revolver. For this assignment I chose to use the revolver, and polymer pistol.
"They'll keep out of my way," she insisted. "It takes two to make an accident."
With proper training and safety devices, firearms are no more of a threat to innocent individuals then any baseball bat or golf club. Studies show that 31% of unintentional deaths caused by firearms could have successfully been prevented by the addition of safety devices. In modern days there is multiple ways that any one can learn how to safely operate, store, and maintain any firearm. One of the leading causes of unintentional deaths from firearms is improper storage of the firearm. If you pu...
As the deer approached us, I reached for my 16 gauge shotgun that was loaded with a

...wn the carpeted stairway. He went down into the basement and unlocked the gun storage room. He chose a double-barreled Boss shotgun, took some shells from one of the boxes, climbed back upstairs to the front foyer, slipped in two shells, lowered the gun butt carefully to the floor, leaned forward, pressed the twin barrels against his forehead just above the eyebrows, and tripped both triggers. (Baker 563-64)
I gazed at my father, sister and brother from the corner. My eyes followed their weighty pace until their laden shadows disappeared at the end of the indistinct hallway. I was still very small at that time. I could not even reach the doorknob, so how could I under...
The invention and innovation of small firearms spans throughout the world and throughout multiple centuries. The main inventions during the early phases of small arms development quickly gave way to the next innovation, although they were slow to be adapted to military use due to the cost of their production. As time went on these innovations became more and more stagnant to the point of there being no major innovations in the field for close to two hundred years. However, after this stagnant period, there began another period of advanced innovation in the area of small arms technology. The goal of this essay is to understand and dissect the innovations that occurred during these two periods of advanced innovation and the cultural and historical factors that lead to them.
