Actsafe Safety Bulletin #1 SAFETY WITH FIREARMS BLANKS CAN KILL. TREAT ALL FIREARMS AS THOUGH THEY ARE LOADED. LIVE AMMUNITION IS NEVER TO BE USED NOR BROUGHT ONTO ANY STUDIO LOT OR STAGE. These guidelines are intended to give recommendations on the safe handling, use and storage of firearms. Firearms include prop guns, rubber guns, plastic guns, non-guns, flintlock guns, pistols, machine guns, rifles and shotguns that shoot blank ammunition. The Property Manager (or, in his/her absence, the weapons handler and/or other appropri- ate personnel determined by the locality or the needs of the production) will be the individ- ual acting in the interest of the Producer for obtaining, maintaining and handling all fire- arms for the production. He/she will work in conjunction with the production’s designated Safety Representative to assure that the following standards are adhered to. Before any use of a firearm in a rehearsal and/or on-camera sequences or off-camera use, all persons involved must be thoroughly briefed at an on-site SAFETY MEETING where the fire- arms will be used.

(ELR) Shooting by Bryan Litz, Applied Ballistics
Introduction to Extreme Long Range (ELR) Shooting By Bryan Litz, Applied Ballistics Introduction Accuracy and precision minded rifle shooters are continuously pushing the limits of long range rifle shooting. Those at the pinnacle of the sport, who routinely score first round hits on steel targets beyond a mile are calling their pursuit Extreme Long Range Shooting – ELR. This article explores the fascinating world of ELR shooting including the special equipment, knowledge and skills required to succeed. The Applied Ballistics ELR Team at the 2016 King of 2 Mile event. Left to right: Bryan Litz, Paul Philips, Mitch Fitzpatrick and Kelly McMillan. The rifle is Mitch’s self built 375 Lethal Magnum that he used to win the event. What is ELR? As stated in the introduction, ELR stands for Extreme Long Range, but what is that, in numbers? ELR may mean something different for a .308 Winchester shooter as compared to a .50 BMG shooter. Where is the threshold between normal long range and Extreme Long Range generally considered to be? The fact is that range becomes extremely long at different distances depending on the performance of the rifle you’re shooting. One way of accounting for this is to consider ELR shooting to be the distance at which your bullets slow to transonic speed. All high performance centerfire bullets start out somewhere around Mach 2 or 3, which is 2 or 3 times the speed of sound. As the bullets fly downrange the loose speed due to aerodynamic drag. The bullets trajectory remains somewhat predictable up until the part when the bullet slows to around Mach ABDOC136 Copyright © 2017 by Applied Ballistics, LLC. -

Long-Range Fifty Caliber Rifles: Should They Be More Strictly Regulated?
Order Code RS22151 May 20, 2005 CRS Report for Congress Received through the CRS Web Long-Range Fifty Caliber Rifles: Should They Be More Strictly Regulated? William J. Krouse Domestic Social Policy Division Summary In the 109th Congress, legislation has been introduced to more strictly regulate certain .50 caliber rifles, some of which have been adopted by the U.S. military as sniper rifles. These rifles are chambered to fire a relatively large round that was originally designed for the Browning Machine Gun (BMG). Gun control advocates have argued that these firearms have little sporting, hunting, or recreational purpose. They maintain that these rifles could be used to shoot down aircraft, rupture pressurized chemical tanks, or penetrate armored personnel carriers. Gun control opponents counter that these rifles are expensive, cumbersome and rarely, if ever, used in crime. Furthermore, they maintain that these rifles were first developed for long-range marksmanship competitions and, then adopted by the military as sniper rifles. Related amendments may be offered during Senate-consideration of the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act (S. 397).1 The issue for Congress is whether to regulate these firearms more stringently based on their destructive potential in a post-9/11 environment. And if regulation is pursued, what measures seem most effective and appropriate. This report will be updated as needed. Legislative Proposals in the 109th Congress In the 109th Congress, two proposals have been introduced to more strictly regulate certain long-range .50 caliber rifles. The Fifty Caliber Sniper Weapons Regulation Act of 2005 (S. 935), introduced by Senator Dianne Feinstein, would amend the National Firearms Act (NFA)2 to regulate “.50 caliber sniper weapons” in the same fashion as short-barreled shotguns and silencers, by levying taxes on the manufacture and transfer of such firearms and by requiring owner and firearm registration. -
Stolen Guns in America a State-By-State Analysis
AP PHOTO/JEFF ROBERSON PHOTO/JEFF AP Stolen Guns in America A State-by-State Analysis By Chelsea Parsons and Eugenio Weigend Vargas July 2017 WWW.AMERICANPROGRESS.ORG Stolen Guns in America A State-by-State Analysis By Chelsea Parsons and Eugenio Weigend Vargas July 2017 Contents 1 Introduction and summary 3 Stolen guns pose substantial risks to public safety 10 Enforcement and policy approaches to reducing gun theft 14 Conclusion 15 Appendix 24 About the authors 25 Endnotes Introduction and summary In the early morning hours of July 5, 2017, New York Police Department officer Miosotis Familia was ambushed as she sat in a marked NYPD command truck with her partner while providing additional security to a Bronx neighborhood after Fourth of July festivities. In an attack that police officials described as an assassina- tion, Officer Familia was fatally shot in the head with a gun that had been stolen in Charleston, West Virginia, four years earlier.1 Less than a month earlier on the other side of the country, a UPS driver in San Francisco shot and killed three co-workers and injured two others using a gun that had been stolen in Utah. The shooter was also armed with a gun that had been stolen in Napa County, California.2 Stolen guns pose a significant risk to community safety. Whether stolen from a gun store or an individual gun owner’s collection, these guns often head straight into the illegal underground gun market, where they are sold, traded, and used to facilitate violent crimes. Gun theft is not a minor problem in the United States. -
Mounted Shooting Guns 101 Mountedshootingsupplies.Com
Mounted Shooting Guns 101 MountedShootingSupplies.com ENERAL G If you are new to Guns, shooting and the associated considerations, at first it can be somewhat daunting. But it will all become clear quickly. Don’t worry, there are thousands of mounted shooters and many started with zero experience, who today are world champions. The sport of Mounted Shooting utilizes Single-action 45LC (long Colt) replicas, a six-shot pistol produced by a number of manufacturers. Single-action means that the gun has to be manually re-cocked after each shot in order to shoot the next one. This is a key part of the challenge of mounted shooting. If you have no experience with shooting pistols, especially single-action, at first you might find this somewhat of a challenge. Particularly for people with smaller hands. But that will quickly become a non-issue. There are a number of 45LC gun models produced, with considerable differences in the Gun Grip frame design (where your hand holds the gun). Two major differences are the Standard Full grip and the Birds Head grip - being smaller and more compact. Like Holsters, don’t rush out and and buy guns until you get a feel for what works best for you in real event riding. Most Trainers have several sets of guns for you to try. In the mounted shooting sport the Clubs and members are very helpful and supportive of newcomers and each other. You will likely find lots of advice, insight and possibly someone who will loan you a set of guns to try. -
The Walmart Effect: Testing Private Interventions to Reduce Gun Suicide Ian Ayres,* Zachary Shelley,** and Fredrick E. Vars***
The Walmart Effect: Testing Private Interventions to Reduce Gun Suicide Ian Ayres,* Zachary Shelley,** and Fredrick E. Vars*** [Forthcoming: Journal of Law, Medicine, and Ethics] Abstract: This article tests the impact of Walmart’s corporate decisions to end the sale of handguns at its stores in 1994 and to discontinue the sale of all firearms at approximately 59% of its stores in 2006 before resuming firearms sales at some of those stores in 2011. Using a difference-in- differences framework, we find that that from 1994 to 2005 counties with Walmarts robustly experienced a reduction in the suicide rate and experienced no change in the homicide rate. These models, which control for a variety of legal, social and demographic variables, as well as county and time fixed effects, suggest that Walmart’s policy change caused a 3.3 to 7.5% reduction in the suicide rate within affected counties – which represents an estimated 5,104 to 11,970 lives saved over the studied period (425-998 per year). These reductions were particularly pronounced in counties in large metropolitan areas, with lower indicia of social capital, and with weaker gun control laws. We also find a separate, statistically significant (though only corollary) impact of gun control laws – with a one standard deviation increase in the number of gun laws correlated with a 0.2 to 14.4% decrease in suicide rate. In contrast, Walmart’s 2006 and 2011 decisions to discontinue and subsequently resume the sale of rifles and shotguns in many of its stores was not associated with a robustly measured effect on homicide or suicide rates. -
Setting up for the Long Range Hunting Shot
SETTING UP FOR THE LONG RANGE HUNTING SHOT First off lets start off let’s start by saying that long range hunting shots are like snowflakes, a few maybe similar but no two are really alike. While each shot is unique the preparation for each shot is mostly the same. For the sake of this article let us assume that you have a rifle and scope combination that shoots very well and you have a developed and confirmed drop chart for your home practice shooting range. Now we will go afield and run through the steps for making a solid first round hit on your hunt. First things first, we must locate said animal and I cannot stress the use of quality optics enough. When the target animal is located the very first thing I do is get my rifle setup in a good shooting position toward it. I use a Harris bipod with a PodLoc and a low profile scope level to set up quickly and relatively level. I can use almost anything for a rear bag, fanny pack, a real bag, a rock or just about anything that will allow a solid position, my hand is my last option. In the picture below you will see a MTM ammo box for a rear bag. Once I have a good shooting position I start to lock in the shot. The very first thing I want to know is the exact distance as this will affect how I work the rest of the shot out. I use a lazer range finder anytime it is possible to do so.
