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.

  • Procurement and Policy: Police
    A TASER International representative displays a prototype for the TASER XREP, a 12-gauge wireless neuro-muscular incapacitation projectile, at a trade show for the Canadian Association of Chiefs of Police in Montreal, August 2008. © Christinne Muschi/Reuters Procurement and Policy 3 POLICE USE OF EMERGING WEAPONS TECHNOLOGY INTRODUCTION In most Western countries, two factors condition the use of force by domestic security agencies: operational guide- lines and the type of weaponry available. The relationship between use-of-force policy and weapons procurement is close but complex. The adoption of new weapons may call for new policies, while the need to meet international norms in policing, for example, can affect weapons procurement. Market forces and trends in both civilian and military firearms development and procurement also play influential roles in the adoption of new weapons technology. On the streets of cities such as Chicago, Manchester, and Marseille, police officers have increasingly adopted so- called ‘less-lethal’ weapons into their day-to-day activities. A comprehensive review of the use of these weapons by Western police has not yet been undertaken, but police experience in France,1 the United Kingdom, and the United States suggests that countries are facing similar use-of-force challenges that are drawing them to use these weapons. By examining recent trends in police weapons technology and procurement by law enforcement agencies, as well as their use-of-force policies, this chapter highlights the alignment of policies and practices in a small but important sample of the West’s ‘leading-edge’ states. Among the chapter’s conclusions are the following: • Aside from the use of new materials to reduce weight and facilitate customization, law enforcement firearms have not recently experienced significant technological development.

  • NZAR ID A24 British Rifle Serial Numbers Compiled by John Osborne MG DTT Phd FSG November 2005
    NZAR ID A24 British Rifle Serial Numbers Compiled by John Osborne MG DTT PhD FSG November 2005 Acknowledgements and Special Thanks to: Ian Skennerton www.skennerton.com http://www.enfieldcollector.com/serials.html http://forums.gunboards.com/showthread.php?200830-Is-this-a-BSA-Shirley-No.4-Rifle http://home.earthlink.net/~smithkaia8/index.html, Phil Cregeen. Recording of serial numbers for Enfield muskets, .577 Sniders and .450 & .303 Martini rifles & carbines is essential for your own records (insurance, registers, &c.) however the numbers stamped on the butt or even on action bodies are rarely the firearm's serial number. Rack or issue numbers were stamped on the right side of the butt, or marking disk (.303 arms only), on the buttplate tang (Sniders & Enfields only) and on the action body itself (Martinis in NZ), usually atop the receiver ring. While rack or issue numbers help identification, they are not the firearm's serial number. Until 1st January 1925, the master number of a firearm was that on the barrel rather than the action body. On Sniders and Martinis, the serial number is not visible and removing a fore-end to see the number on the barrel or front inside of the body can damage wood furniture, especially if the securing pin (a la M.H. Mk I & II, M.M. & M.E. too) has rust on it. M.H. serial numbers are found on the inside right, front of the body while .303 conversion numbers used the left side. So as to match critical parts, serial number was also stamped under the rear sight leaf (and fore-ends, nosecaps, bolts, of Lee-Enfields too).

Rumor has it that FN has plans to mate it to other assault and battle rifles, but I have not been able to confirm this. The FN40GL EGL (Enhanced Grenade Launcher) can fire all forms of 40mm NATO Low-Velocity grenades, including the newer longer versions. It may be mounted under a SCAR-16 or SCAR-17, but can also be attached to a gripstock to allow it to be used as a dedicated grenade launcher, without the rifle. In either case, the FN40GL attaches to the SCAR or gripstock by use of MIL-STD-1913 rails and dual locking clamp levers, which provides for a solid attachment. No special tools are required to mount or dismount the FN40GL. Construction of the FN40GL is largely of polymer, with some steel working parts and an aluminum barrel inside a polymer shroud. The barrel slides forward, then swings to the left or right for loading and reloading.

  • 1. the JOB Despite the Prolific Use of SWAT in Our Modern Times, Specialized Police Squads Have Not Always Been As Well-Equipped and Well-Organized As They Are Today
    1. THE JOB Despite the prolific use of SWAT in our modern times, specialized police squads have not always been as well-equipped and well-organized as they are today. From the days of Elliot Ness’ Untouchables to the counter-terrorist forces of today’s hostage rescue teams, SWAT has evolved into a highly structured, well-trained, and elite organization. The Evolution of SWAT The earliest special police squads were often little more than aggressive and independent officers that banded together to deal with increasingly dangerous threats using whatever methods they could find. Strongarm and Gunman Squads In the latter part of the 19th Century, in an effort to deal with increasing crime, New York City formed officers into small groups called “strongarm squads.” These squads, armed only with billyclubs, were tasked with anti-crime and crime suppression activities, and received special training in teamwork and tactics. By the 1920s, law enforcement agencies faced a new threat – organized crime. Prohibition-era gangsters carried dangerous weapons (including the ubiquitous “Tommy Gun”), and billyclub-wielding cops were no longer sufficient. In 1925, the New York Police Department formed the Emergency Services Unit (ESU). Part of the ESU included the elite Firearms Battalion (FB) – colloquially called the “machine-gun squad” or “gunman squad” – a specialized group of officers armed with handguns, shotguns, rifles, and submachine-guns. The FB patrolled NYC in green trucks, targeting gangs and gang-related crimes. They became the Mobile Security Unit (MSU) in the late 1940s, and formed the Stakeout Squad in the 60s. The Stakeout Squad received automatic weapons and counter-terrorist training in the 1970s, and the entire MSU was reintegrated into ESU in the 1980s.
