Download AR Dope Bag June 1998: ASAI One Pro 45 / Marlin M1895G The American Rifleman has used the phrase “Dope Bag” at least since 1921, when Col. Townsend Whelen first titled his column with it. Even then, it had been in use for years, referring to a sack used by target shoot- ers to hold ammunition and accessories on the firing line.“Sight dope”also was a traditional marksman’s term for sight adjustment information, while judging wind speed and direction was called “doping the wind.” CAUTION: Technical data and information con- tained herein are intended to provide information based on the limited experience of individuals under specific conditions and circumstances.

  • TL7 Handguns
    Deep Web Secret Deep Web Secret Automatic Pistols These weapons use Guns(Pistol)/TL7 skill. AMT Automag .44 AutoMag (Holdout -2) AMT Original Automag: A large single action semi automatic weapon, this is the original Automag by Harry Sanford. When it was introduced in the seventies this was the first pistol to fire high powered magnum cartridges. Clint Eastwood takes a break from his .44 Magnum to use the .44 Automag in one of his Dirty Harry films. It has been out of production for close to two decades now, but after Harry Sanford died in early 1999 the AMT factory was sold off, and the new owners decided to run a limited series of original Automags in the .44 AMP caliber. These guns will be exact copies of the original guns. This may also mean that they will only function properly with full powered loads, and that some parts (most notably the extractor) will be somewhat fragile. Most likely these guns will seldom be fired anyway, as they are instant collectors items due to their reputation and their flashy, sleek and slightly futuristic looks. Should these guns be used they will look very intimidating and at the same time classy, combined with a lot of recoil... The Automag is a recoil operated pistol, is made entirely of stainless steel, and these new guns are of excellent quality, unlike some of the last pistols made in the seventies. They are very accurate. The magazine holds seven rounds of .44 AMP ammo. AMT Automag III (Holdout -2) A large single action semi automatic weapon, this is the brainchild of Harry Sanford, creator of the original automag.

  • Fire Arms General Information 7/15/2020
    Fire Arms General Information 7/15/2020 Clay Fuller, Instructor AIMS Police Academy There have been a few questions on firearms. Question are always good! I will attempt to provide some answers here and I am always willing to answer or discuss any questions or concerns you have on any topic. Flat Rock Region Training Center allows: convention double action pistols (SIG 226, Beretta 92’s etc.) or striker fired guns (Glocks, Smith & Wesson M&Ps (M&P semi autos, not revolvers). They do not allow single action semi autos (1911s, Browning High Powers, etc) or revolvers. 1. Your pistol may have a weapons light mounted but you will still need belt flashlight. 2. Your pistol may have a reflex/optic sight mounted but you will not be allowed to turn it on at Flat Rock, as they want you to use iron sights. 3. I recommend not buying: a reflex/optic sight unless you are certain your department will allow you to use it and will not issue you one. 4. Weapons lights are expensive: You don’t need a weapons light to do well at Flat Rock and many departments will issue you one when you are hired. The first and most important thing to remember about firearms is that YOU the shooter, not the gun are the most important factor when it comes to shooting fast, accurately and SAFELY. The instructors at Flat Rock are very good. If you pay attention to what they say and practice the techniques they demonstrate, you will pass the qualification course with any firearm that is on their approved list (posted at the end).
