clifford paul smith jr perris ca Perhaps you are uncertain
what it is you need, or wonder whether it is practical or justified. NFA firearms
sometimes appear daunting or even sinister. But in truth they fill a variety of
niches. For example, the original concept for the silencer was to
allow backyard target practice and introductory firearms training. It performs
essentially the same function as a car muffler. The notion of it as an assassin's
weapon was largely a fiction created by Hollywood in the 1930's and sustained to this day.
In truth, a silencer does not silence a firearm anymore than a muffler silences a
car engine. It simply suppresses the sound level to a point where, hopefully, the
shooter can fire a pistol or rifle without the need for wearing hearing protection.
However, if the bullet being fired reaches the transonic range (beginning at
approximately 92% the speed of sound), it will produce a constant distinctive, loud crack.
The bullet will cease "cracking" when it drops below the transonic range,
and the crack (or sonic boom) will dissipate. The crack will not expose the
shooter's position because the sound wave radiates outward. Most smooth bore pistols are variations on the short barrel shotgun, but use a pistol grip in lieu of a buttstock. This provides greater maneuverability in very close confines, such as occur in stake-out situations and room-to-room searches. paul perri poker player adam rickitt The machine gun combines
the attributes of the rifle and shotgun (while the submachine gun combines the attributes
of the pistol and shotgun). It has somewhat greater range and penetration than the
shotgun and greater hit probability and stopping power than the pistol. It is Jack
of all trades and master of none. At close range the shotgun is deadlier, at medium
to long range the rifle is far superior. In all cases the pistol is handier and more
concealable. Yet the machine gun in all its various forms holds a mystique that is
difficult to justify. Again we must default to Hollywood's very visual expression of
this particular firearm as the personification of raw and deadly accurate power. The
truth is somewhat more subdued. Any properly trained soldier or police officer can
be taught to ignore the sound and fury of machine gun fire and focus instead on its true
strengths and weaknesses. But to the average public, it remains a powerful
psychological force, one to be irrationally feared because we are conditioned by society
to view it that way. Anyone who has been granted the opportunity to shoot one,
quickly discovers the Achilles heal of this weapon, while at the same time receiving quite
an adrenaline rush from the false sense of firepower. However, there is no denying
that shooting machine guns is just plain fun!
