Firearm

A firearm is a portable gun, being a barreled weapon that launches one or more projectiles often driven by the action of an explosive force. The first primitive firearms were invented in 13th century China when the one-person-portable fire lance was combined with projectiles. The technology gradually spread through the rest of East Asia, South Asia, Middle East and then into Europe. In older firearms, the propellant was typically black powder, but modern firearms use smokeless powder or other propellants. Most modern firearms (with the notable exception of smoothbore shotguns) have rifled barrels to impart spin to the projectile for improved flight stability.

Modern firearms are usually described by their caliber (i.e. their bore diameter, this is given in millimeters or inches e.g. 7.5mm, .357) or in the case of shotguns their gauge (e.g. 12 ga.); the type of action employed (muzzle, breech, lever, bolt, pump, revolver, semi-automatic, automatic etc.) together with the usual means of deportment (hand-held or mechanical mounting). They may be further distinguished by reference to the type of barrel used (rifled) and the barrel length (19 inch), the design's primary intended use (e.g. hunting rifle), or the commonly accepted name for a particular variation (e.g. Gatling gun). The word firearms usually is used in a sense restricted to small arms (weapons that can be carried by a single person), whereas the word artillery covers larger gunpowder-fired weapons.

Episode

An episode is a coherent narrative unit within a larger dramatic work such as a film or television series. An episode is to a sequence as a chapter is to a book. Most are from 20 to 40 minutes in length.

The word derives from the ancient Greek ἐπεισόδιον (epeisodion), meaning the material contained between two songs or odes in a Greek tragedy.

Shell Shock Technologies asked us to perform a field test on their NAS3 next generation shell casings. In an industry that innovation is relatively slow, this is a potential game changer and could easily replace the current technology. In this video we catalog our 1000 round test using the Angstadt Arms UDP-9. The purpose of this test is to determine if the two part case will separate under heavy use.

Another Reminder that Firearms Safety Rules Matter | Active Self Protection
Firearms safety is the responsibility of every user of firearms. If you can’t follow them, all the time, then don’t carry one. This is a reminder of what happens when you disregard them! If you value what we do at ASP, would you consider becoming an ASP Patron Member to support the work it takes to make the narrated videos like this terrible firearms safety rules violation? https://get-asp.com/patron gives the details and benefits.

Would you have taken the route that this legally armed firearms trainer took? Would your other skills have come to the front, or would you shoot him as well? These kinds of encounters are why we post after action reports on Active Self Protection! Original video, news story, 911 call audio, and more of the firearms trainer getting backed into a corner available here: https://get-asp.com/0enu What does this video teach us about defending ourselves against an attack? 1. A life of self-protection must be dedicated to avoidance, de-escalation, and escape whenever possible. You win 100% of the fights that you don’t get in, so make a commitment to de-escalate, escape, or evade any encounter you possibly can. Having good situational awareness will give you more time and opportunity to see problems coming and formulate a plan to stay away and protect yourself without danger to yourself or others. This is always our first choice as self-defenders. This legally-armed firearms trainer tried pretty hard to de-escalate and escape, and that was a wise decision that probably swayed the DA quite a bit. Want to learn more? There are 7 additional lessons, 3 class starters for instructors, and links to more information about this deadly force encounter on our website: https://get-asp.com/0enu Attitude. Skills. Plan.

How a firearm works - Animation (1911 semi-auto handgun)
A 2D Flash animation that I made in order to explain how firearms work to those who have no prior knowledge about them. The larger internal moving parts (barrel, recoil spring, firing pin) as well as the components of a cartridge (bullet, powder, primer) are shown in a semi-transparent cutaway view. I also included a voice-over to explain what is happening when the pistol is operated. The discharge of a cartridge as it is shown in the video applies to rifles and other firearms as well. Feel free to show this video to newbies if you want to explain to them how a semi-automatic gun functions in a clear graphic way. You may also use this animated video in a presentation if you like, but whenever possible please use the online link rather than a downloaded version. The applications used to create this handgun animation were Adobe Flash Professional CS6, Sony Vegas Pro and Adobe Audition CS6. My Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/SkallagrimYT
