The AK-47, for example, is actually no more lethal than most other small arms in its class, but popular notoriety and Hollywood representations tend to credit it with superior power and lethality. Similarly, the bayonet actually killed relatively few men in World War I, but the sheer thought of an enraged foe bearing down on you with more than 30cm of sharpened steel was the stuff of nightmares to both sides. In some cases, however, fear has been perfectly justified. During both world wars, for example, artillery caused between 59 and 80 per cent of all casualties (depending on your source), and hence took a justifiable top slot in surveys of most feared tools of violence. The subjects of this book – the MG 34 and MG 42, plus derivatives – are interesting case studies within the scale of soldiers’ fears. Regarding the latter weapon, a US wartime information movie once declared that the gun’s ‘bark was worse than its bite’, no doubt a well-intentioned comment intended to reduce mounting concern among US troops about the firepower of this astonishing gun.

  • Responses to Questions Posed by Beretta on the M9 Handgun
    United States General Accounting Office GAO Report to Congressional Requesters January 1989 PROCUREMENT Responsesto Questions Posed by Beretta on the M9 Handgun GAO/NSIA.D89-69 United States General Accounting Office Washington, D.C. 20548 National Security and International Affairs Division B-222372 January 4,1989 The Honorable Barbara A. Mikulski The Honorable Paul S. Sarbanes United States Senate The Honorable Steny H. Hoyer The Honorable Tom McMillen House of Representatives As requested, we have addressed the nine specific questions provided to you by Beretta U.S.A. Corporation concerning quality and performance aspects of the M9 g-mm handgun being provided to U.S. forces under contract with the Army. The specific questions and our responses are included in appendix I. As discussed in our report dated September 15, 1988, to the Chairman, House Committee on Government Operations, Procurement: Quality and Safety Problems With the Beretta M9 Handgun (GAO/NSIAD-@J-213), the M9 quality and performance problems relate primarily to frame cracks and slide failures. The contractor has implemented actions that appear to have resolved the frame crack problem. With regard to the slide failure problem, the Army and the contractor are addressing this issue and expect to have it resolved by January 1989. As agreed with your office, we did not obtain official Department of Defense comments on this report. However, we did meet with officials responsible for the matters discussed in the report, and we have incor- porated their comments where appropriate. Our review was performed during September and October 1988 in accordance with generally accepted government auditing standards.

  • Bold Warrior in Action-B&W M9 Gas/Co2 Blow-Back Pistol Released in Late 2017
    Bold Warrior in Action-B&W M9 gas/co2 blow-back pistol released in late 2017 2017/05/18 Jia Dyi Enterprise Co., Ltd. Sounds like another newcomer in airsoft pistol market. Why B&W? Black and White is the first idea comes to my mind. Somehow it sounds also like a fashion appearl brand. Any relation to automobile maker BMW? The answer still a NO,but the brand do wish itself to be young and aggressive like Bold Warrior in action. ​ ​ ​ ​ Could it be the last one that enter the bloodshed market of Airsoft M9?Behold the B&W M9 full metal gas blowback pistol. This is the photo from its right side. Although without authentic marks of real steel, extinction black in outlook gives it fine quality appearance. Along with the extinction black model, which also can be familiar with the name of military version, B&W also provides shinning outlook which can be named as civilian version of M9. Better to wear gloves in case there will be fingerprint left on body. Left-side outlook of B&W M9 gas blow-back pistol, the red dot refers to the safety of the gun. The plastic grip plates can be easily changed into ones you want. The release button of magazine in the left side may make the left-handed gunner feel unfriendly, but if you hold it by two palms, it is still possible to change magazine with the thumb of right hand. Nevertheless, with the safety lever device locates in both sides, it is very easy to identify its status.

    NY SAFE Act Frequently Asked Questions: Below are FAQ intended to help gun owners in New York understand and comply with the NY SAFE Act enacted on January 15, 2013. If your question is not answered here, please continue to check back, as this list will be updated regularly. You can also call the NY Safe Act hotline at 1-855-LAWGUNS 8:00 AM - 9:00 PM for more information. Q: What does this law do? A: The NY SAFE Act is designed to make New York a safer place to live by reducing gun violence through common sense and reasonable reforms. The law respects the right to bear arms and the interest of hunters, sportsmen, and legal owners who use their guns appropriately. The law protects New Yorkers by: Keeping guns out of the hands of convicted felons and potentially dangerous mental health patients. Banning high capacity magazines and assault weapons. Ensuring all gun purchases are subject to a background check. Toughening criminal penalties on those who use illegal guns. Assault Weapons Q: I own a gun that I use for hunting, is it an assault weapon? A: Most guns that are used for hunting are not assault weapons and are not affected by this law. Typical shotguns and hunting rifles are exempt as the law specifies military style assault weapons by design characteristics. For example, any pump, lever, or bolt action shotgun or rifle cannot be an assault weapon.

About the CMP and CPRPFS A 1996 Act of Congress created the Corporation for the Promotion of Rifle Practice and Firearms Safety, Inc. (CPRPFS) to conduct the civilian marksmanship program that was formerly administered by the U. S. Army’s Office of the Director of Civilian Marksmanship (ODCM). The CPRPFS is a federally chartered, tax-exempt, not-for- profit 501 (c) (3) corporation that derives its mission from Title 36 USC, §40701-40733. The CPRPFS, better known as the Civilian Marksmanship Program or CMP, promotes firearms safety training and rifle practice for qualified U.S. citizens with a special emphasis on youth. The CMP delivers its programs through affiliated shooting clubs and associations, through CMP-trained and certified Master Instructors and through cooperative agreements with national shooting sports and youth-serving organizations. Federal legislation enacted in 1903 by the U.S. Congress and President Theodore Roosevelt created the National Board for the Promotion of Rifle Practice to foster improved marksmanship among military personnel and civilians. The original CMP purpose was to engage Soldiers and U. S. citizens in rifle marksmanship practice and competition so they would be skilled marksmen if later called to serve in combat.
