Abstract Health and Safety regulations are becoming ever more stringent in order to protect us in all aspects of our daily lives to prevent noise pollution and damage to hearing. For those in the military and some areas of civilian life working with firearms there is a definite need to reduce the sound levels from them. In order to do this a working knowledge of sound moderators and suppressors is considered vital in order to assess their capabilities and optimise their performance. The project looks at a theoretical model of an integral suppressor for a modified 12 bore shotgun. The model was used to determine the area of holes through the barrel, allowing gas into the suppressor, has the greatest effect on the pressure within the suppressor. It was found that the volume of the suppressor and position of the hole through the barrel did not have such a significant effect on the pressure. The theoretical work was supported by experimental trials which confirmed the barrel hole size has a significant effect on the pressure. The experimental work also showed for the low pressure system the hole size through the baffles did not have a significant effect on the pressure. Work was carried out to establish whether current practice for proofing suppressors was sufficient. The results show that proof rounds give a lower pressure in an external suppressor than standard ammunition. Tests on improvised suppressors showed they are effective and allowed a visual analysis on suppressors. Baffles were shown to be advantageous in a suppressor configuration.

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.

Administrative Office DISTRIBUTION Special AMCP 706-251 PREFACE The Engineering Design Handbook Series of the Army Materiel Command is a coordinated series of handbooks containing basic in- formation and fundamental data useful in the design and develop- ment of Army materiel and systems. 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).
