UPDATE: PALADIN ARMORY COMES HOME! We are still in business and building custom firearms, but the owner has now retired from active military service and relocated the company to rural Montana. Feel free to contact us by phone or e-mail. Welcome to the world of exotic "NFA" firearms. Illustrated on these pages are some of the National Firearms Act (NFA) registered suppressors (silencers), suppressed rifles and pistols; short-barreled shotguns (SBS); smooth bore pistols (AOW); short-barreled rifles (SBR); machine guns; and custom tactical/scout carbines we manufacture here in our facilities. We also reactivate DEWATs and can assemble your parts kit with the proper paperwork. In addition, we are set up to refinish, repair, and custom engrave firearms. We even have a discount page where you can browse through a wide variety of firearms (both conventional and NFA) and accessories we have on inventory CLOSEOUT. pics percival lowell background percival lowell house percival lowell when he was little 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.
When the wave strikes an object, it bounces off it at various angles,
further distorting the origin of the sound. percival lowell library lowell observatory percival lowell mars biography of percival lowell tombaugh pluto percival lowell percival lowell c percival lowell discovery 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. 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! Our services are available to all
government military, law enforcement, and security organizations; private companies;
firearms dealers; and private individuals who comply with the applicable Federal and State
laws.
