  • International Military Cartridge Rifles and Bayonets
    INTERNATIONAL MILITARY CARTRIDGE RIFLES AND BAYONETS The following table lists the most common international military rifles, their chambering, along with the most common bayonet types used with each. This list is not exhaustive, but is intended as a quick reference that covers the types most commonly encountered by today’s collectors. A Note Regarding Nomenclature: The blade configuration is listed, in parentheses, following the type. There is no precise dividing line between what blade length constitutes a knife bayonet vs. a sword bayonet. Blades 10-inches or shorter are typically considered knife bayonets. Blades over 12-inches are typically considered sword bayonets. Within the 10-12 inch range, terms are not consistently applied. For purposes of this chart, I have designated any blade over 12 inches as a sword bayonet.

  • The Firearms and Gun Safe of Ernest Hemingway
    The Firearms and Gun Safe of Ernest Hemingway championsafe.com /firearms-gun-safe-ernest-hemingway/ While most people know Ernest Hemingway for his landmark works of the 20 th century, such as The Old Man and the Sea and A Farewell to Arms , he had a wide variety of interests that he liked to share with his friends. One of his friends, A.E. Hotchner, described a picture that he and Ernest Hemingway took back when they were children. This picture showed Ernest carrying a rifle at around five or six years of age. In fact, Hemingway’s mother stated that his father taught Ernest how to shoot around age two and could capably handle a pistol at age four. This unique and lesser-known passion has carried over into the industry today. Hemingway’s Firearms Passion Because Hemingway was so passionate about firearms from a young age, this passion spilled over into his writing. During his high school years, he was a member of the firearms club with his classmates. When he turned 18, he joined the military and served his country. While he wasn’t overseas, he hunted a variety of animals such as bears, deer, and elk on the American frontier. He also traveled on a variety of safaris, well-represented in his work. He worked hard to maintain his skills with firearms until the day he died. The Chronicles of War Hemingway served his country during World War I and worked as a reporter during World War II. This, combined with the passions described above, obviously meant that Hemingway led an action-packed life.

  • Gutta-Percha, Hard Rubber and Synthetics in Firearms
    Hardman.qxd 1/10/08 9:35 AM Page 15 Gutta-Percha, Hard Rubber and Synthetics in Firearms James (Jim) Hardman The town of Dorset, Vermont is a quiet place, but we do host an antique show that sets up on the village green every other year. A couple of years ago, I saw a fine little parts cabinet for sale. “Those knobs are gutta-percha,” the dealer said. “How do you know that?” I asked. I guess I pinched his ulcer because he glowered at me and said “I’m a professional . and I know these things!” Well, they are not gutta-percha, but the name gutta-per- cha seems to resonate with antique dealers. Some antique dealers will also tell you that civil war “Union” picture cases were made of gutta-percha. (Figure 1) Some were, but for the most part, these cases were molded of “Mud”—in this case, a mix of natural resins including shellac and blended with pigments and wood flour.

  • Terminal Ballistics
    Terminal ballistics Terminal ballistics, a sub-field of ballistics, is the study of the behavior and effects of a projectile when it hits its target.[1] Terminal ballistics is relevant both for small caliber pro- jectiles as well as for large caliber projectiles (fired from artillery). The study of extremely high velocity impacts is still very new and is as yet mostly applied to spacecraft design. 1 General An early result is due to Newton; the impact depth of any .32 ACP full metal jacket, .32 S&W Long wadcutter, .380 ACP projectile is the depth that a projectile will reach before jacketed hollow point stopping in a medium; in Newtonian mechanics, a pro- jectile stops when it has transferred its momentum to an equal mass of the medium. If the impactor and medium 2.1.1 Target shooting have similar density this happens at an impact depth equal to the length of the impactor. For short range target shooting on ranges up to 50 me- For this simple result to be valid, the arresting medium is ters (55 yd), aerodynamics is relatively unimportant and considered to have no integral shear strength.
