As the officers arrived at scene, the Subject pointed a handgun at the officers and fired several times in their direction, resulting in an Officer-Involved Shooting (OIS). The Subject then proned himself behind the open driver’s side door of the vehicle parked in his driveway. Approximately five minutes later, the Subject pointed the handgun at the officers, resulting in a second OIS. Subject(s) Deceased (X) Wounded () Non-Hit () Subject: Male, 47 years of age. Board of Police Commissioners’ Review This is a brief summary designed only to enumerate salient points regarding this Categorical Use of Force incident and does not reflect the entirety of the extensive investigation by the Los Angeles Police Department (Department) or the deliberations by the Board of Police Commissioners (BOPC).

  • Reloading Cartridges
    A Brief Synopsis of Metallic Cartridge Reloading Principals By: C. Guenther Reloading cartridges is something that requires a solid attention to detail and a limited use of “extrapolation”, meaning we try to reduce the amount of guesswork necessary when producing safe-to-use cartridges. That said, reloading cartridges yourself lends itself to a variability which is never encountered in factory loaded ammunition and allows for some experimentation. However, in general, we try to limit experimentation where the most dangerous attribute of hand loaded ammunition is concerned, mainly pressure. Pressure within a cartridge is affected by a multitude of factors and can go from well within safety limits to massively overpressure and dangerous with a few seemingly inconsequential changes to a recipe A brief synopsis of how pressure works within a gun barrel might seem a little elementary, but it is necessary to understand in order to properly apply the load data and understand what it is doing. But in general, the attributes most associated with raising or lowering pressure are: ❖ Powder (quantity and burn rate) ❖ Primer ❖ Seating Depth (case capacity) ❖ Bullet construction ❖ Bullet bearing surface POWDER Very broadly, powder burns (it does not explode if we can help it), generates pressures (sometimes of the magnitude of up to 70,000psi), which forces a projectile into the barrel and continues generating pressure until all the powder is consumed or the bullet has left the barrel. In practice, even the slowest powders are completely consumed within the first few inches of barrel. (A fact that would be disputed by most, but is evident when studying muzzle flash, see: Hiemerl, Joseph.The Muzzle Flash of Guns and Rockets) There are only two broad powder types available to consumer reloaders: Black Powder (and it’s substitutes), and smokeless powder.

THE EFFECTS OF PHYSICAL FLASH HOLE DEVIATIONS ON FACTORY- GRADE RIFLE AMMUNITION by NICOLAAS MARTIN SCHRIER A THESIS Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of the MISSOURI UNIVERSITY OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree MASTER OF SCIENCE IN EXPLOSIVES ENGINEERING 2015 Approved by Paul Worsey, Advisor Gillian Worsey Jason Baird iii ABSTRACT The objective of this research is to determine the effect of dimensional and positional changes of the primer flash hole on the performance of factory-grade rifle ammunition. The studied variables were flash hole diameter, offset from center, and orientation of the offset in the primer pocket. Cartridge performance was quantified by measuring muzzle velocity, chamber pressure, and target grouping size (precision). Five different flash hole diameters were tested for both the Remington .223 and Winchester .308 calibers: 1.4mm, 2.0mm (the Fiocchi standard), 2.4mm, 2.8mm, and 3.0mm.

The handbooks are authorita- tive reference books of practical information and quantitative facts helpful in the design and development of Army materiel so that it will meet the tactical and the technical needs of the Armed Forces. This handbook is one cf a series on Guns and presents informa- tion on the fundamental operating principles and design of muzzle devices. Because of higher priorities assigned in the past to other activities, progress in the design of bore evacuators, noise suppres- sors, and smoke suppressors was not shared with that of muzzle brakes, blast deflectors, and flash suppressors.

  • Flash Suppressor Means Any Device That Reduces Or Redirects Muzzle Flash from the Shooter's Field
    Department of Justice Regulations for Assault Weapons and Large Capacity Magazines FINAL STATEMENT OF REASONS Hearing Dates: February 24, 2000, Sacramento, California February 28, 2000, Los Angeles, California UPDATE OF INITIAL STATEMENT OF REASONS Section 978.10 - Title and Scope There is no information to be updated. This section was adopted as originally proposed. Section 978.20 - Definitions of Terms Used to Identify Assault Weapons Section 978.20 further defines terms used in Penal Code section 12276.1 to describe the characteristics that identify a firearm as an assault weapon. The six terms (Section 978.20 (a-f)) initially identified in this section are addressed separately relative to the revisions made to each of the original definitions proposed by the Department and subsequently noticed and modified. 978.20(a) - Detachable Magazine The proposed definition as originally noticed to the public defined a detachable magazine as “any magazine that can be readily removed without the use of tools.” During the initial public comment period (December 31, 1999 through February 28, 2000), comments were received that caused the Department to make revisions to the definition. Comments expressed concern about the use of the term “magazine,” which is often erroneously used to describe clips that are used to load ammunition into a fixed magazine. Recognizing that to be true, the Department changed the word “magazine” to the statutory term “ammunition feeding device” (PC section 12276.1(c)(1)). The Department also added the phrase “without disassembly of the firearm action” as a result of public comment stating that there are firearms with fixed magazines that can be field stripped (disassembled in the field) without using any tools (such as the M1 Garand).

  • Firearms, Ammunition and Related Terminology Within the Disciplines Of
    Firearms, ammunition and related terminology Within the disciplines of firearms training, and the interdependent subject of ammunition and the related, there exists a myriad of terms, phrases, and “buzz words” that have been persistent for decades. Many of these are commonly misused, as in they are generalizations or “slang”, and are not specific enough for accurate use or don’t technically represent what they should. In addition to this, many terms, phrases or “buzz words” have overlapping usage. They may be generally applicable in a variety of circumstances, but only employed with complete accuracy in a small number of specific instances. The reasoning behind this article is to dispel some myths and take an indigenously confusing topic, which has propagated much consternation over the years, and simplify or streamline it into an easily understandable format. It would be virtually impossible to list every word or short subject matter in an article of this scope. What I have attempted to do is assemble the most common areas of difficulty and focus on them alone. This snapshot highlights the ones I feel essentially important to us as trainers. ACP: the letters stand for Automatic Colt Pistol. Adjustable sights: Refers to sights that are moveable in incremental adjustments to change projectile impact on the target. They can be adjustable for windage (horizontal impact) or elevation (vertical impact). Alibi: allowing a shooter to make up for lost or non-discharged rounds due to problems with the functioning of a weapon. Assault rifle: the meaning of this term has changed over the years and is much a matter of perception.
