Unless you’ve been hiding under a rock for the past few months, you’re undoubtedly aware that award-winning director Christopher Nolan has released a new film about Robert Oppenheimer, known as the “father of the atomic bomb” for leading the group of scientists who created that deadly weapon as part of America’s World War II-era Manhattan Project. The film has earned widespread attention, with large numbers of people participating in what’s already become known as “Barbieheimer” by seeing Greta Gerwig’s hit film Barbie and Nolan’s three-hour-long Oppenheimer on the same day.
Nolan’s film is a distinctive pop cultural phenomenon because it deals with the American use of nuclear weapons, a genuine rarity since ABC’s 1983 airing of The Day After about the consequences of nuclear war. (An earlier exception was Stanley Kubrick’s Dr. Strangelove, his satirical portrayal of the insanity of the Cold War nuclear arms race.)
The film is based on American Prometheus, the Pulitzer Prize-winning 2005 biography of Oppenheimer by Kai Bird and Martin Sherwin. Nolan made it in part to break through the shield of antiseptic rhetoric, bloodless philosophizing, and public complacency that has allowed such world-ending weaponry to persist so long after Trinity, the first nuclear bomb test, was conducted in the New Mexico desert 78 years ago this month.
Nolan’s impetus was rooted in his early exposure to the nuclear disarmament movement in Europe. As he said recently:
“It’s something that’s been on my radar for a number of years. I was a teenager in the ‘80s, the early ‘80s in England. It was the peak of CND, Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament, the Greenham Common [protest]; the threat of nuclear war was when I was 12, 13, 14 — it was the biggest fear we all had. I think I first encountered Oppenheimer in… Sting’s song about the Russians that came out then and talks about Oppenheimer’s ‘deadly toys.’”
A feature film on the genesis of nuclear weapons may not strike you as an obvious candidate for box-office blockbuster status. As Nolan’s teenage son said when his father told him he was thinking about making such a film, “Well, nobody really worries about nuclear weapons anymore. Are people going to be interested in that?” Nolan responded that, given what’s at stake, he worries about complacency and even denial when it comes to the global risks posed by the nuclear arsenals on this planet. “You’re normalizing killing tens of thousands of people. You’re creating moral equivalences, false equivalences with other types of conflict… [and so] accepting, normalizing… the danger.”
These days, unfortunately, you’re talking about anything but just tens of thousands of people dying in a nuclear face-off. A 2022 report by Ira Helfand and International Physicians for the Prevention of Nuclear War estimated that a “limited” nuclear war between India and Pakistan that used roughly 3% of the world’s 12,000-plus nuclear warheads would kill “hundreds of millions, perhaps even billions” of us. A full-scale nuclear war between the United States and Russia, the study suggests, could kill up to five (yes, five!) billion people within two years, essentially ending life as we know it on this planet in a “nuclear winter.”
Obviously, all too many of us don’t grasp the stakes involved in a nuclear conflict, thanks in part to “psychic numbing,” a concept regularly invoked by Robert Jay Lifton, author of Hiroshima in America: A History of Denial (co-authored with Greg Mitchell), among many other books. Lifton describes psychic numbing as “a diminished capacity or inclination to feel” prompted by “the completely unprecedented dimension of this revolution in technological destructiveness.”
Given the Nolan film’s focus on Oppenheimer’s story, some crucial issues related to the world’s nuclear dilemma are either dealt with only briefly or omitted altogether.
The staggering devastation caused by the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki is suggested only indirectly without any striking visual evidence of the devastating human consequences of the use of those two weapons. Also largely ignored are the critical voices who then argued that there was no need to drop a bomb, no less two of them, on a Japan most of whose cities had already been devastated by U.S. fire-bombing to end the war. General (and later President) Dwight D. Eisenhower wrote that when he was told by Secretary of War Henry Stimson of the plan to drop atomic bombs on populated areas in Japan, “I voiced to him my grave misgivings, first on the basis of my belief that Japan was already defeated and that dropping the bomb was completely unnecessary.”
The film also fails to address the health impacts of the research, testing, and production of such weaponry, which to this day is still causing disease and death, even without another nuclear weapon ever being used in war. Victims of nuclear weapons development include people who were impacted by the fallout from U.S. nuclear testing in the Western United States and the Marshall Islands in the Western Pacific, uranium miners on Navajo lands, and many others. Speaking of the first nuclear test in Los Alamos, New Mexico, Tina Cordova of the Tularosa Basin Downwinders Consortium, which represents that state’s residents who suffered widespread cancers and high rates of infant mortality caused by radiation from that explosion, said “It’s an inconvenient truth… People just don’t want to reflect on the fact that American citizens were bombed at Trinity.”
Another crucially important issue has received almost no attention. Neither the film nor the discussion sparked by it has explored one of the most important reasons for the continued existence of nuclear weapons — the profits it yields the participants in America’s massive nuclear-industrial complex.
Once Oppenheimer and other concerned scientists and policymakers failed to convince the Truman administration to simply close Los Alamos and place nuclear weapons and the materials needed to develop them under international control — the only way, as they saw it, to head off a nuclear arms race with the Soviet Union — the drive to expand the nuclear weapons complex was on. Research and production of nuclear warheads and nuclear-armed bombers, missiles, and submarines quickly became a big business, whose beneficiaries have worked doggedly to limit any efforts at the reduction or elimination of nuclear arms.
The Manhattan Project and the Birth of the Nuclear-Industrial Complex
The Manhattan Project Oppenheimer directed was one of the largest public works efforts ever undertaken in American history. Though the Oppenheimer film focuses on Los Alamos, it quickly came to include far-flung facilities across the United States. At its peak, the project would employ 130,000 workers — as many as in the entire U.S. auto industry at the time.
According to nuclear expert Stephen Schwartz, author of Atomic Audit, the seminal work on the financing of U.S. nuclear weapons programs, through the end of 1945 the Manhattan Project cost nearly $38 billion in today’s dollars, while helping spawn an enterprise that has since cost taxpayers an almost unimaginable $12 trillion for nuclear weapons and related programs. And the costs never end. The Nobel prize-winning International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons (ICAN) reports that the U.S. spent $43.7 billion on nuclear weapons last year alone, and a new Congressional Budget Office report suggests that another $756 billion will go into those deadly armaments in the next decade.
Private contractors now run the nuclear warhead complex and build nuclear delivery vehicles. They range from Raytheon, General Dynamics, and Lockheed Martin to lesser-known firms like BWX Technologies and Jacobs Engineering, all of which split billions of dollars in contracts from the Pentagon (for the production of nuclear delivery vehicles) and the Department of Energy (for nuclear warheads). To keep the gravy train running — ideally, in perpetuity — those contractors also spend millions lobbying decision-makers. Even universities have gotten into the act. Both the University of California and Texas A&M are part of the consortium that runs the Los Alamos nuclear weapons laboratory.
The American warhead complex is a vast enterprise with major facilities in California, Missouri, Nevada, New Mexico, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Texas. And nuclear-armed submarines, bombers, and missiles are produced or based in California, Connecticut, Georgia, Louisiana, North Dakota, Montana, Virginia, Washington state, and Wyoming. Add in nuclear subcontractors and most states host at least some nuclear-weapons-related activities.
And such beneficiaries of the nuclear weapons industry are far from silent when it comes to debating the future of nuclear spending and policy-making.
Profiteers of Armageddon: The Nuclear Weapons Lobby
The institutions and companies that build nuclear bombs, missiles, aircraft, and submarines, along with their allies in Congress, have played a disproportionate role in shaping U.S. nuclear policy and spending. They have typically opposed the U.S. ratification of a Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban treaty; put strict limits on the ability of Congress to reduce either funding for or the deployment of intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs); and pushed for weaponry like a proposed nuclear-armed, sea-launched cruise missile that even the Pentagon hasn’t requested, while funding think tanks that promote an ever more robust nuclear weapons force.
A case in point is the Senate ICBM Coalition (dubbed part of the “Dr. Strangelove Caucus” by Arms Control Association Director Daryl Kimball and other critics of nuclear arms). The ICBM Coalition consists of senators from states with major ICBM bases or ICBM research, maintenance, and production sites: Montana, North Dakota, Utah, and Wyoming. The sole Democrat in the group, Jon Tester (D-MT), is the chair of the powerful appropriations subcommittee of the Senate Appropriations Committee, where he can keep an eye on ICBM spending and advocate for it as needed.
The Senate ICBM Coalition is responsible for numerous measures aimed at protecting both the funding and deployment of such deadly missiles. According to former Secretary of Defense William Perry, they are among “the most dangerous weapons we have” because a president, if warned of a possible nuclear attack on this country, would have just minutes to decide to launch them, risking a nuclear conflict based on a false alarm. That Coalition’s efforts are supplemented by persistent lobbying from a series of local coalitions of business and political leaders in those ICBM states. Most of them work closely with Northrop Grumman, the prime contractor for the new ICBM, dubbed the Sentinel and expected to cost at least $264 billion to develop, build, and maintain over its life span that is expected to exceed 60 years.
Of course, Northrop Grumman and its 12 major ICBM subcontractors have been busy pushing the Sentinel as well. They spend tens of millions of dollars on campaign contributions and lobbying annually, while employing former members of the government’s nuclear establishment to make their case to Congress and the executive branch. And those are hardly the only organizations or networks devoted to sustaining the nuclear arms race. You would have to include the Air Force Association and the obscurely named Submarine Industrial Base Council, among others.
The biggest point of leverage the nuclear weapons industry and the arms sector more broadly have over Congress is jobs. How strange then that the arms industry has generated diminishing job returns since the end of the Cold War. According to the National Defense Industrial Association, direct employment in the weapons industry has dropped from 3.2 million in the mid-1980s to about 1.1 million today.
Even a relatively small slice of the Pentagon and Department of Energy nuclear budgets could create many more jobs if invested in green energy, sustainable infrastructure, education, or public health – anywhere from 9% to 250% more jobs, depending on the amount spent. Given that the climate crisis is already well underway, such a shift would not only make this country more prosperous but the world safer by slowing the pace of climate-driven catastrophes and offering at least some protection against its worst manifestations.
A New Nuclear Reckoning?
Count on one thing: by itself, a movie focused on the origin of nuclear weapons, no matter how powerful, won’t force a new reckoning with the costs and consequences of America’s continued addiction to them. But a wide variety of peace, arms-control, health, and public-policy-focused groups are already building on the attention garnered by the film to engage in a public education campaign aimed at reviving a movement to control and eventually eliminate the nuclear danger.
Past experience — from the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament that helped persuade Christopher Nolan to make Oppenheimer to the “Ban the Bomb” and Nuclear Freeze campaigns that stopped above-ground nuclear testing and helped turn President Ronald Reagan around on the nuclear issue — suggests that, given concerted public pressure, progress can be made on reining in the nuclear threat. The public education effort surrounding the Oppenheimer film is being taken up by groups like The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, the Federation of American Scientists, and the Council for a Livable World that were founded, at least in part, by Manhattan Project scientists who devoted their lives to trying to roll back the nuclear arms race; professional groups like the Union of Concerned Scientists and Physicians for Social Responsibility; anti-war groups like Peace Action and Win Without War; the Nobel Peace prize-winning International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons; nuclear policy groups like Global Zero and the Arms Control Association; advocates for Marshall Islanders, “downwinders,” and other victims of the nuclear complex; and faith-based groups like the Friends Committee on National Legislation. The Native American–led organization Tewa Women United has even created a website, “Oppenheimer — and the Other Side of the Story,” that focuses on “the Indigenous and land-based peoples who were displaced from our homelands, the poisoning and contamination of sacred lands and waters that continues to this day, and the ongoing devastating impact of nuclear colonization on our lives and livelihoods.”
On the global level, the 2021 entry into force of a nuclear ban treaty — officially known as the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons — is a sign of hope, even if the nuclear weapons states have yet to join. The very existence of such a treaty does at least help delegitimize nuclear weaponry. It has even prompted dozens of major financial institutions to stop investing in the nuclear weapons industry, under pressure from campaigns like Don’t Bank on the Bomb.
In truth, the situation couldn’t be simpler: we need to abolish nuclear weapons before they abolish us. Hopefully, Oppenheimer will help prepare the ground for progress in that all too essential undertaking, beginning with a frank discussion of what’s now at stake.


High speed stealthy naval vessels capable of multiple missions ranging from detecting, reporting and interdicting any littoral terrorist or enemy threat to transporting special forces under cover of darkness.
Our National Defense Fleet
High speed low cost Seaphantoms with various arrays of sensors offer our operating partners the fastest and cheapest solutions for the entire spectrum of Command, Control, Computers, Surveillance, Intelligence and Reconnaissance (C4SIR) solutions.
Our National Defense Innovations
Intracoastal Defense Networks (IDN)
Due to the Seaphantoms high speed, time on station and long range capabilities, littoral defense networks could be established relatively inexpensively along the entire coastline of the US.
Co-located roughly every 40 miles at ports of the proposed US Intracoastal Shipping Network, Seaphantoms would provide a picket line with 10 minute Time To Target at distance up to 300 miles offshore, depending on sea states and weather conditions similar to those restricting helicopters and other vessels.
With 200 ports to choose from, co-located bases could be easily adapted or rotated depending on any given mission profile or situation.
The National Defense Market
Expected cuts in defense spending mean that programs, systems and missions will be more focused on cost effective solutions. One primary area will be in fuel efficiency, with the US military the largest consumer of oil in the US – and the largest carbon emissions.
Our National Defense Edge
Operating partners in the Defense industry find that beyond the mission capabilities the Seaphantom possesses in terms of speed, stealth, range, and overall C4SIR capabilities, our ground effect design allows us to be the most fuel efficient vessel on water. .
Our National Defense Impact
In addition to capabilities useful to Special Operations, Seaphantoms could be deployed throughout an Intracoastal Defense Network that would enable our operating partners to provide fast response to any maritime terrorist or military threat along the entire US coastline or elsewhere for a fraction of any alternative program.


JS Media – FF grenade launcher it is one of the main weapons that is very popular in the Free Fire game. Naturally, because the presence of this weapon adds to the excitement on the playing field.
Just like other weapons, grenades also have different features, functions, and abilities. Therefore, the survivors must understand these points in order to win the match.
Tricks to Use Grenade Launcher FF and its Types
In Indonesian, the meaning of a grenade launcher is a grenade launcher. This weapon includes equipment that has a high level of damage, because the level of accuracy is really maximum.
Tricks to use the FF Grenade Launcher
What this means is that even if the survivor fires from a very long distance, the grenade will definitely hit the target. However, this weapon has a curved direction, so the survivors must correctly follow the following trick:
- First of all, make sure the distance between the survivor and the enemy is still within range
- Point the end of the red line of the weapon towards where the enemy is. The good news is that survivors can target the enemy from behind the wall, due to the curved aim direction.
- Make sure the bow fits snugly, then drop the grenade.
- Also learn how to code a Bio FF M1887 aesthetic
When using this grenade launcher weapon, survivors must have strong feelings and instincts. The reason is that to ensure that the curved line of the weapon is correct, it is not as easy as aiming at the opponent with a shot.
Therefore, survivors must practice this skill to obtain a high level of accuracy. This takes time, just like when deciding on the choice of EVO Skin that was released on Free Fire.
Types of grenade launcher weapons
In addition to training to throw grenades, survivors must also know the ins and outs of this weapon. As a leak, here are some weapon types that include the grenade launcher:
- M79 Senjata weapon
The advantage of this weapon is that the accuracy rate is quite high, but there is only one truly lethal ammunition. It took quite a while to reload with new stock.
Compared to similar weapons, the rate of fire of the MGL140 is the highest. There are only 4 bullets and they cannot be fired consecutively, but it takes a while.
This type of grenade launcher is the deadliest weapon with the fastest process. RGS50s are generally used by survivors to shoot at opponents who are driving, either on a motorcycle or in a car.
The FF grenade launcher is the best weapon that survivors need to protect and use as effectively as possible. As mentioned above, the stock of ammunition in this weapon is not much. Therefore, be careful when throwing it away.


(S1) A normal blade has a curving edge, and straight back. A dull back lets the wielder use fingers to concentrate force; it also makes the knife heavy and strong for its size. The curve concentrates force on a smaller area, making cutting easier. This knife can chop as well as pick and slice. This is also the best single-edged blade shape for thrusting, as the edge cuts a swath that the entire width of the knife can pass through without the spine having to push aside any material on its path, as a sheepsfoot or drop-point knife would.
(S2) A trailing-point knife has a back edge that curves upward to end above the spine. This lets a lightweight knife have a larger curve on its edge and indeed the whole of the knife may be curved. Such a knife is optimized for slicing or slashing. Trailing point blades provide a larger cutting area, or belly, and are common on skinning knives.
(S3) A drop point blade has a convex curve of the back towards the point. It handles much like the clip-point, though with a stronger point typically less suitable for piercing. Swiss army pocket knives often have drop-points on their larger blades.
(S4) A clip-point blade is like a normal blade with the back “clipped”. This clip can be either straight or concave. The back edge of the clip may have a false edge that could be sharpened to make a second edge. The sharp tip is useful as a pick, or for cutting in tight places. If the false edge is sharpened it increases the knife’s effectiveness in piercing. As well, having the tip closer to the centre of the blade allows greater control in piercing. The Bowie knife has a clip point blade and clip-points are common on pocket knives and other folding knives.
(S5) A sheepsfoot blade has a straight edge and a straight dull back that curves towards the edge at the end. It gives the most control, because the dull back edge is made to be held by fingers. Sheepsfoot blades were originally made to trim the hooves of sheep. Their shape bears no similarity to the foot of a sheep.
(S6) A Wharncliffe blade is similar in profile to a sheep’s foot but the curve of the back edge starts closer to the handle and is more gradual. Its blade is much thicker than a knife of comparable size. Wharncliffes were used by sailors, as the shape of the tip prevented accidental penetration of the work or the user’s hand with the sudden motion of a ship.
(S7) A spey point blade (once used for neutering livestock) has a single, sharp, straight edge that curves strongly upwards at the end to meet a short, dull, straight point from the dull back. With the curved end of the blade being closer to perpendicular to the blade’s axis than other knives and lacking a point, making penetration unlikely, spey blades are common on Trapper style pocketknives for skinning fur-bearing animals.
(C1) Leaf blade with a distinctive recurved “waist” adding some curved “belly” to the knife facilitating slicing as well as shifting weight towards the tip meaning that it is commonly used for throwing knives as well as improving chopping ability.
(C2) A spear point blade is a symmetrically-shaped blade with a point aligned with the centerline of the blade’s long axis. True spear-point blades are double-edged with a central spine, like a dagger or spear head. The spear point is one of the stronger blade point designs in terms of penetration stress, and is found on many thrusting knives such as the dagger. The term spear point is occasionally and confusingly used to describe small single-edged blades without a central spine, such as that of the pen knife, a small folding-blade pocket knife formerly used in sharpening quills for writing. Pen-knife may also nowadays refer to the blade pattern of some of larger pocket knife blades that would otherwise be termed drop-point designs.
(C3) A needle point blade has a sharply-tapered acuminated point. It is frequently found on daggers such as the stiletto (which had no sharpened edges) and the Fairbairn-Sykes fighting knife. Its long, narrow point reduces friction and increases the blade’s penetrative capabilities, but is liable to stick in bone and can break if abused. When the needle point is combined with a reinforced ‘T’ section running the length of the blade’s spine, it is called a reinforced tip. One example of a knife with a reinforced tip is the pesh-kabz.
(C5) Referred to in English speaking countries as a “tanto” or “tanto point” (a corruption of the Japanese word tantō though the tip bears no resemblance to a tantō) or a chisel point. (Chisel point only refers to the straightness of the edge that comprises the end of the blade and not to the knife edge being ground on just one side.) It is similar to, but not the same as, some early Japanese swords that had kamasu kissaki (“barracuda tip”), a nearly straight edge at the tip whereas the typical “tanto point” as found in the west has a straight edge. The barracuda tip sword was sharp but also fragile whereas modern tanto point are often advertised as being stronger at the tip for having nearly the whole thickness of the blade present until quite close to the end of the knife. Knife tests have shown that penetration ability of this style of blade is comparatively poor but it is possible, if the tip is strong, that more force can be applied allowing greater penetration without damaging the tip.
The lower illustration is a modified tanto where the end is clipped and often sharpened. This brings the tip closer to the centre of the blade increasing control of the blade and improves penetration potential by having a finer point and a sharpened back edge.
(C6) A hawkbill blade is sharpened on the inside edge and is similar to carpet and linoleum knives. The point will tear even if the rest of the knife is comparatively dull. The karambit from Far South-East Asia is a hawkbill knife which is held with the blade extending from the bottom of the fist and the tip facing forward. The outside edge of a karambit may be sharp and if so may also feature a backwards facing point.
(C7) An ulu (Inuit woman’s knife) knife is a sharpened segment of a circle. This blade type has no point, and has a handle in the middle. It is good for scraping, and sometimes chopping. The semi-circular version appears elsewhere in the world and is called a head knife. It is used in leatherworking both to scrape down leather (reducing thickness), and to make precise, rolling cuts for shapes other than straight lines. The circular version is a popular tool for slicing pizzas. One corner is placed at the edge of the pizza and the blade is rolled across in a diameter cut.

” I’m going to let you in on a little secret. Every day, once a day, give yourself a present. Don’t plan it. Don’t wait for it. Just let it happen. It could be a new shirt at the men’s store, a catnap in your office chair, or two cups of good, hot black coffee.” Dale Cooper, Twin Peaks, 1990.
I’ve been jonesing for a new air rifle ever since I picked up a battered $25 Chinese air rifle a few years ago. That ham handed beast, when sighted in, did OK. I dropped a few chipmunks who were messing with my pig feed and ventilated many soda cans with it. It was far more fun than any $25 object should be. I wanted more.
I planned to get myself a “real air rifle” for Christmas. Alas, you know how it is. You fret over kid’s stuff, trees, decorations, keeping the pipes thawed, whatever… you never treat yourself. Plus I started to drive yourself nuts trying to make the “best” choice within my given price range (which is cheap). I thought too much about it. Soon my head was swimming with $1000 match grade whatzits and versus $300 super gadgetroids and all the fun was gone. I wanted to drop a C-Note and ploink dastardly squirrels, not train for the Olympics. So I tabled it.
But the idea was still there. In fact, once in March I saw a squirrel going to town on my feeder and reached for my new Christmas air rifle… only to realize I hadn’t actually gone beyond the planning stage.
Last month I was rocketing down the highway when the words of Dale Cooper prompted me. It took the next exit and, in less time than I’ll take to choose between a Big Mac and Chicken McNuggets, picked a Gamo Big Cat in .22 caliber. (I bought mine in person but the link goes to about the same thing in Amazon. Also, I note mine says 950 FPS in big sexy letters on the box, but Amazon says 1200… which just explains why I got confused and didn’t buy one over Christmas. Also if the Gamo Big Cat is the Edsel of air rifles, that’s too bad. If I shoulda’ bought the Shoot-O-Matic X-37 in .177 caliber, it’s already water under the bridge. The die is cast. Etc… Also don’t tell me that a $800 rifle would be better. I know that and will ponder it when/if I’ve got the cash burning a hole in my pocket; which is probably never.)
First impressions? All in all it’s pretty nice for a $100 +/- object. It pumps pretty easy for all that energy it’s storing, it’s not too heavy, and aside from being a bit more “plastic” than I’d like, I can’t see any flaws.
The trigger pull is not great, but did I mention it was a $100 air rifle. Also I’m still not used to the funky “recoil” of an air rifle. I fire it and think “what the hell was that”? It’ll take some getting used to.
There were lots of “suppressed” rifles but I didn’t like their heavy barrels. This one is rather loud. Pros and cons to everything, right? Also the barrel is flouted which is amazingly pointless. I’ll admit it looks cool though.
Also the included 4×32 scope has me chasing my tail. Easy installation and OK sight picture but I’m still not pleased. Then again I’m uptight about optics and no “free in the box” scope is perfect.
As for the overall concept of a .22 “hunting” air rifle? Holy shit is that cool! Air rifles ‘aint the toys from when I was a kid. This bastard hits the target hard. Or at least it hits hard compared to what I was expecting. I did get it for hunting; small game of course (mostly for squirrels who are meddling in the world of mind control or stealing chicken feed). As far as I can tell this little rifle will take out anything smaller than big game. I did go for .22 over .177 and maybe that matters a lot? The box (and we all know they’re truthful right?) tells me it shoots 950 fps with “Platinum ammo”.
I’ve been noodling around with various ammo. I need to test a bunch more to find what the rifle likes. I tried some Gamo Platinum Raptor (which came with it) and I inadvertently bought some Gamo Raptor Real Gold. The latter is plated in real gold, which about the stupidest thing ever… but it caught my eye enough that I bought it. (I thought it was “copper jacketed”.) Both of those are expensive, which ruins the fun of air rifles. Later I bought a huge tin of 500 pellets of Benjamin 14.3 grain hollow point lead and the price was cheap enough that each shot is virtually free. Part of the fun is pellets at a few pennies a shot. As expected, the point of aim changes dramatically when I switch ammo. I think I’ll buy some “sample packs” of pellets once I sort out the scope.
Alas, I have one issue and maybe my readers know something and can help?
I installed the 4×32 scope and started slinging pellets at a measured distance. I picked 60′. It seemed that the rifle was fairly precise. Given time the rifle seems up to being a tack driver (within it’s reasonable range). I also got the scope on target in a few shots. However, the way I hold the stock and my eye position has a huge impact. I’ve never had this issue with regular rifles. Is this the parallax effect? Was I sighting in at the wrong distance? Or is it just a crappy scope? Am I doing something wrong?
Sometimes I’d have it dialed in with several shots in a row near perfect. I’d be like “I’ll hit not just a squirrel’s head but pick the eyebrow hair I’ll split… I’m awesome!” Then I’d shift and the sight picture would go all wonky and I’d be “I’ve turned into Mr. Magoo. Why?” What’s causing the “Mr. Magoo” effect? Is it me, a shitty scope, or something I’m doing wrong?
If the solution is a new scope I’m open for recommendations. Keeping in mind this isn’t a “freezer filler and zombie defense” I’d like to keep any new scope in the $50-$75 range. For a big game rifle that’s unreasonable, but hopefully an air rifle in .22 doesn’t need a $900 Swarovski?
If I don’t get that scope figured out, I lose and the squirrels win!
I could use some air rifle scope advice. I defer to those who know more than me… which may be everyone. E-mail me advice or just drop it in the comments. Thanks,
P.S. Heed the valuable life advice of Dale Cooper:


This morning’s briefer couldn’t have been more direct. The mission was to hold at risk one of three ballistic missile submarines now at sea and destroy it if necessary. The strategic situation was the result of pressures that had built up since Deng Xiaoping led the Peoples’ Republic to market reforms. Many oligarchs had much to lose, especially those of the PLAN. They recently toppled Xi Jinping and most of his hand-picked Politburo members. The usurpers then went on the offensive regionally to distract attention from their internal power consolidations. Peace talks were underway in Geneva.
The strike flight leader, Major Cole, and his copilot, Captain Work, took off from Whiteman AFB in an B-42, a long-range, arsenal craft. The flight repeatedly refueled and acquired assets in its transit from Missouri to the OPAREA just inside the First Island chain over the South China Sea. Their first acquisition was five unmanned F-16s from Beale AFB. One by one, these automatically signed in with the arsenal craft, exchanged status, mission, and sensor data, and fell into an aerodynamic flight profile.
The F-16s were remanufactured. Each was augmented with an upgraded multifunction AESA radar, additional C3ISR sensors and transceivers, and offensive and defensive countermeasures of various types and capabilities. The wings were lengthened and shaped for extended range, greater strength, and enhanced stealth. New low maintenance coatings further reduced their cross-section.
In order to increase the F-16s’endurance, high-capacity conformal fuel tanks were added. These blended with the wings and fuselage, added above wing recessed weapons stations, and were fully integrated into the in-flight refueling capability. Also, the F-16s were reengined with fuel-efficient ones identical to those of Cole’s plane.
On-board an America class LHA stationed in the eastern Pacific, V/STOL refueling drones were loaded with extra drop tanks by four exoskeleton assisted sailors. The sailors loaded full tanks on all seven. Deck handlers, using remote operator packs, stewarded the drones around the deck. Another two sailors topped off the drones using a robotic refueling station. The on-deck operation looked like an Indy car pit stop.
Five drones lifted off with full loads for the F-16s. Two other larger drones would service the arsenal craft that Cole and Work piloted. The drones hailed the strike flight mission controller on board the B-42 and negotiated pairings, speeds, and altitudes. As they deployed their refueling drogues, an exchange of terahertz correlating signals autonomously guided the drones’ baskets and flight members probes to positive connections. After transferring full fuel loads, the drones dropped out of formation and the flight resumed cruise speed and altitudes.
Major Cole reviewed the entire procedure via a graphical display that signified each stage of the evolution. The unified display was projected into his eyes from emitters around the cockpit. Wherever he looked he saw the air picture around him, the running mission itinerary in the lower foreground, and labelled procedure steps associated with each F-16 and their red, yellow, or green status.
The imagery and text were sharp and stable. He needed no heavy helmet to see this holographic display. Cole thought the sunset beamed in from the fuselage cameras was beautiful this evening.
As he looked down toward the sea surface he could make out a container ship. AIS indications hovering over the IR enhanced, ship image said it was the Pacific Conveyor headed towards California. He increased magnification by stretching it with his two index fingers. The gloves he wore gave a reassuring force feedback.
He could also fly the B-42 using those gloves. They gave feedback like that of a HOTAS and his boots gave him rudder control. If need be, he could take command using only his voice. However, except for takeoff and landing, and that, only for proficiency, the B-42 mission controller did the flying.
The arsenal craft’s onboard server farm was connected with CONUS via several multispectral, encrypted, LPI channels to verify mission integrity, monitor system health, and exchange bulk C3ISR data. The craft’s infrastructure executive performed reconfigurations autonomously to maintain a specified one year MTBF. The mission executive always informed Cole of system status. He was rarely asked to intervene in decisions it made.
When the tactical situation required beyond-human speed and accuracy, the craft presented opportunities to intervene using timed aborts. The mission executive acted automatically when the countdown expired. This kept Cole’s workload down if they were under attack or in other emergencies.
As they approached the Hawaiian Islands (a contested American possession of the recently claimed Third Island chain), the B-42 woke Captain Work. Cole then reviewed with her what had happened while she slept and initiated his own sleep cycle. The integrated pilot’s position provided situation awareness via the holographic display, health and wellness monitoring and restoration, and a self-enclosing escape module.
The craft could put you asleep, wake you up, heal minor wounds, or expel you when necessary for your survival. Captain Work sometimes felt superfluous during long missions, especially because of the last of the craft’s capabilities. She wondered why they couldn’t do these missions telerobotically. Her father recently asked: “How can you be promoted when you command a bunch of robots?”
Mission parameters had changed during their transit. They’d pick up a sixth autonomous F-16 over Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam. This one was optimized for supersonic combat and had a few tricks up its sleeve. Their next refueling would occur south of Yokota Air Base half way between Japan and the Philippines and the First and Second Island chains. They’d also pick up some refueling drones.
Computer aided operators at the monitoring station responsible for the ocean-observatory covering the Southwest Pacific had tracked the SSBNs. All three Type 096 Tang class ballistic missile submarines egressed from Hainan Island into the South China Sea. Two were trailed by our attack boats and knew it. Their commanders expected to be sunk if they opened their missile hatches or torpedo doors.
The third sub was acquired by two Sea Hunter class ASW Continuous Trail Unmanned Vessels. Supervisors ashore used ocean observatory data to re-vector these if necessary. Though usually employed against inexpensive Diesel-Electric boats, ACTUV was deemed the best asset to participate in this mission. This submarine was commanded by the son of one of the participants at the Geneva talks.
Initially, the PRC boomer tried to shake the first Sea Hunter by navigating under fishing fleets and through other heavy shipping traffic. The ACTUVs autonomously navigated according to COLREGS and passed safely by the obstacles. The Type 096 captain settled into a pattern at depth and speed compatible with their communications buoy. The ACTUVs did not lose it during the wait. Eventually, two more Sea Hunter class boats would join the overwatch.
The Sea Hunters tag teamed the Tang class submarine, ever watchful for a break in its pattern. It was possible it could make a dash for deeper waters after receiving orders. However, the observatory would pick that up. In any case, it would have to return to launch depth and these or some other Sea Hunters or an attack boat would be vectored to reacquire it. Such TTPs gave submarine captains pause. The supervisors in Hawaii continued to monitor the Sea Hunters’ health and operations.
As the strike flight approached the First Island chain, drones ascended from an LHD attached to Sea Base Charlie stationed west off Luzon. Captain Work watched as the drones integrated with her flight. Her foreground itinerary indicated several mission updates were passed from the drones to the arsenal craft via near-field-communications.
One update was a message from the President of the United States. She carefully listened and flagged it for Cole’s debrief package. After refueling, all but three, long-range drones returned to Sea Base. These attached to the flight to top off the constituents tanks when they set up orbit over their target.
The craft wakened Major Cole before the flight was scheduled to enter orbit around their moving target. Once the effects wore off, and they did fairly rapidly, Captain Work briefed him. What each saw in their respective fields of view were tailored for their roles and reflected personal customizations. Cole’s eyes opened wide as he listened to the President’s orders. He could not remember anything similar except from a scene in the 60’s movie Fail-safe.
The arsenal craft exchanged encrypted messages with the Sea Hunters as it approached the OPAREA. The craft would orbit at its maximum cruising altitude with the F-16s and refueling drones distributed above and below its position. The orbit had a radius of over 50 miles centered on the Sea Hunters that were trailing the Tang class SSBN. Depending on nearness, all intra-flight communications used either laser or submillimeter microwaves. These channels employed corresponding photorefractive or active retroreflective transceivers to reduce sidelobe interception and jamming.
The B-42 had been monitoring signals traffic, radar probes, and assorted other intercepts. The F-16s sent target and intercept signatures derived from their apertures to the B-42. The arsenal craft’s mission executive relayed to CONUS several new modulations that the discrimination engine identified as missing from its up-to-date database. The electronic attack module was in the process of synthesizing countermeasures for them. Both would be disseminated worldwide. The mission executive used burst transmissions to comms satellites overhead and continued to look for new signals.
Space Command had launched a constellation of nano-satellites in the days following the PRC’s destruction of some of our Defense Communications satellites. Enough satellites were taken out to cause significant coverage gaps over the Pacific during a 24 period.
A combination of contracted commercial and dedicated military launches filled those gaps in nine days. The networked, medium longevity CubeSats provided full-spectrum communications. Neither the Geostationary nor Lagrange Point satellites were affected in these attacks. However, chip-scale positioning, navigation, and timing liberated US forces from unreliable dependencies.
One of the F-16 AESA radars, in synthetic aperture mode, first detected the raid. Twelve Chengdu J-20 long-range, air-superiority fighters were headed in. Their radars would not detect the strike flight for minutes.
The arsenal craft proposed several alternative battle plans to Cole and Work. After Cole selected one of the plans, the mission controller repositioned the flight components to best achieve mission success. Cole liked the plan he picked because of the wide variety of alternative actions it offered. All the flight components were below sound speed so IRST sensor range would favor them during closure.
The mission executive aboard the arsenal craft coordinated the selected plan with the F-16s. Two of these each fired several extended range missiles and two escort decoys. The decoys broadcasted jamming signals which appeared to emanate from PL-21s, PLAN’s own long-range missiles.
These jamming signals illuminated three of the approaching fighters sufficiently for our extended range missiles to lock on and destroy their targets. The US missiles and jammers were communicating between themselves to apportion the targets they would strike. The missiles also relied secondarily on IR to in addition to PRF jittering and FH to prevent target pull-off. Onboard data fusion gave them the best candidates. The decoys impacted two more J-20s.
The B-42 used radar and IR data from the outlying F-16s and returns off the J-20s from the decoys plus the J-20s own signals to refine fire control solutions it disseminated back to the F-16s. The B-42 directed more missile and decoy salvos from the F-16s to interdict the raid before the Chengdus could acquire the arsenal craft. Almost two-thirds of the enemy raid was destroyed before the first return fire salvo was committed.
The F-16s launched decoys that simulated hundreds of B-42 and F-16 skin reflections and signal emissions for the minutes the enemy missiles were airborne. Three of those missiles were seduced into striking the decoys. The dance of chaff around the strike flight was mesmerizing. Those missiles that endured passed the arsenal craft and fell, expended, into the sea. The remaining five Chengdu fighters continued to close.
Electroluminescent panels on the F-16s and the arsenal craft blended them into the background. Each of the flight components began heat signature abatement by running fuel under their fuselage skins. Two more J-20 fighters were splashed before they could launch their PL-21s. The three remaining closed in for the kill with short-range missiles. The subsonic F-16s were running out of weapons.
By now, the F-16s had expended over three-quarters of their radar decoys. This time they employed IR ones; heat signatures were everywhere. The enemy’s ripple fired, short-range, IR missiles scattered. Only two found their marks in a subsonic F-16 and a tanker drone. When the three Chengdu fighters had launched their IR salvo, their RWRs indicated a flight of four supersonic F-22s were descending on their position.
With seconds to decide, they turned and ran. The decoys emitting F-22 and AMRAAM missile signals pursued the Chengdus out of the area. Previously, the supersonic F-16 had flown up to its maximum ceiling above intermittent cloud cover and waited until the mission plan called for its decoy intervention. It too, had suppressed it’s thermal and visible signatures and had maintained subsonic flight.
A new raid was inevitable. Cole and Work waited pensively for word on their mission goal. The mission executive informed them that real F-22s and F-35s were on their way now from forward expeditionary bases to provide CAP. They could not arrive soon enough.
The mission executive cued Cole to a priority message from STRATCOM. They got the “go code.” That meant that talks had failed and an SSBN launch was imminent. Major Cole entered his identification number and Captain Work followed within five seconds.
The mission executive verified with the Sea Hunters that they had lock on the Tang class SSBN. The doctrine module identified to the executive an impact point astern of the SSBN’s sail. The arsenal craft’s fire control module computed the trajectory, verified and validated it, and down loaded it to the two rocket-propelled torpedoes. These weren’t torpedoes in the usual sense, though.
The mission executive actuated the bomb bay doors. Immediately, Cole and Work heard an alarm and saw flashing notices that the doors would not open. The mission executive was asking for permission to jettison the doors entirely. It almost never made an untimed request for intervention. However, because the craft’s stealth signature would be gravely compromised jeopardizing both the mission and, possibly, their lives, the executive waited.
Cole knew this was no “Major Kong” moment and elected to jettison the doors. There was no way to reach the bomb bay in any case. That CAP had better be snappy, Captain Work thought. Word went out to STRATCOM from the mission executive of their situation. Confirmation appeared on the pilots’ itineraries.
One torpedo fell away. When it was clear of the craft, the rocket motor ignited and it plunged to the sea surface. Right then, the Sea Hunters relayed to the B-42’s mission executive that the SSBN hatches started to open. A synthesized image of the SSBN was visible to both pilots off the B-42’s port side. Cole and Work saw status updates as they occurred. Iconography indicated the projected torpedo aim point behind the sail and ahead of the opening hatches.
As the torpedo’s tungsten nose tip entered the water, rocket exhaust exited from its nose manifold. The exhaust created a cavitation sheath that enabled the torpedo to penetrate the water to strike the submarine. Terminal guidance directed it using water contacting fins and exhaust manifold redirection. It breached the hull, exploded, and the submarine sank without launching its missiles.
The remaining Sea Hunter declared a sub kill to the arsenal craft based on active and passive sonar signals. Additionally, Sea Hunter surface search radar picked up many new obstacles to maneuver around. F-16 GMTI data showed debris on the water surface consistent with a submarine kill. The mission executive’s threat assessment module informed both the pilots and STRATCOM of the success. Major Cole and Captain Work were relieved.
Immediately, a different alarm sounded. The mission executive identified a second raid at beyond-visual-range. Try as they might, neither pilot could see them below their icons. With their stealth compromised, four remaining subsonic F-16s low on weapons and decoys, the supersonic F-16, and two tanker drones, they were not sure what the mission executive would suggest.
Work’s jaw dropped when she saw the plan. Cole approved it and tightened his seat harness belts and tie down strap. Captain Work followed his lead.
Four J-20s carried missiles on all their external weapons stations. They would not be spooked by decoys this time. They knew what to expect. On cue, two F-22s and four AMRAAMs registered on the J-20 warning receivers. They did not veer off their intended target, the United States B-42 arsenal craft and the unmanned F-16s.
The Chengdu pilots launched a mix of PL-12s and PL-10s. The F-16s fired their missiles in return and released their remaining short-term decoys, a mix of IR and radar seducers. The F-16s interposed themselves into the enemy missile paths that would otherwise strike the B-42. Simultaneously, the F-16s AESA radars emitted jamming signals to disrupt the incoming, enemy missiles and prevent further targeting.
All four F-16s were destroyed. Of the four Chengdus, one remained. This pilot was golden, all of the B-42’s air cover was eliminated. He was the lone avenger of his fallen comrades. But where was the B-42?
In the melee, the IR seduction decoys led all the PL-10s toward the two refueling drones. The drones had ignited fuel spewing from their retracted drogues and were lit up like torches. The IR missiles struck the two drones causing a tremendous fireball. The B-42 had dived through the fireball and down like a rock to the sea surface. The mission executive then initiated the next phase of the plan.
As the PLAAF pilot half-rolled his aircraft to invert it he could see the B-42’s electroluminescent camouflage panels flickering below. This was an easy kill with two PL-12s, he thought. The pilot continued his descending half-loop headed for the B-42 far below. He’d have lock on the B-42 before his maneuver’s exit.
What the pilot didn’t realize was the coordination between the B-42 and supersonic F-16 that was now descending out of high clouds. The F-16 targeted the J-20’s underbelly with two missiles. Before the J-20 could descend half way, the AMRAAMs struck. One clipped a wing but the other penetrated the fuselage and exploded. The J-20’s bulk and fire-retardant design gained its pilot the seconds needed to eject.
The B-42 panels resumed a consistent glow blending the arsenal craft with the sea surface. The supersonic F-16 joined it to provide protection. Two minutes later, the B-42 and F-16 rose up to meet two F-35s and an F-22 that escorted them to Antonio Bautista Air Base.

New book forewarns of the Pentagon’s itch for nuclear use irrespective of domestic consequences
“Today the situation is far more dangerous than during the Cold War period.”
ATLANTA, GEORGIA, USA, February 6, 2018 /EINPresswire.com
/ -- On January 13, the citizens of Hawaii received a cellphone alert of incoming missiles. Hysteria gripped the islands.
Horrific death seemed imminent.
After a harrowing 38 minutes the error was announced. Then questions arose as to the alert’s usefulness in any event.
What were the terrified recipients to do about it, anyway?
When Donald Trump made his stunning threat of a pre-emptive nuclear attack against North Korea, had he considered how such an act—or even the threat of it— might impact ordinary Americans?
What about the recent Pentagon proposal to use nukes as response to a “large cyber event”
Should we take any comfort from the second failure of the missile defense system
test in Hawaii on January 31, 2018, which could not take down the target even though provided with its trajectory?
From MAD to Madness: Inside Pentagon Nuclear War Planning, a deathbed memoir by a Pentagon nuclear war planner describing the Pentagon’s obsessive search for a way to successfully use nukes in a first strike against the Soviet Union should awaken Americans to the same avid pursuit of nuclear use today.
Paul H. Johnstone was a senior analyst in the Pentagon’s Weapons Systems Evaluation Group The “critical incident” studies he initiated led to publication of The Pentagon Papers, of which he was a co-author.
Johnstone’s memoir details at length not just the delusional Pentagon search for how to win a nuclear war but even more disconcertingly, the lack of consideration it gave to the possible retaliation on Americans. What were Americans to do in the event of a nuclear blast? “Duck and cover”…
As Dr. Jan Olberg of the Transnational Foundation for Peace and Future Research concluded: “Dr. Paul H. Johnstone's amazing insider account should be enough to make everyone on earth demand total abolition.”
Alarmingly, Paul Craig Roberts notes in his Foreword to the Johnstone memoir, “Today the situation is far more dangerous than during the Cold War period.”
The frightening truth today is that the lessons that led the US to accept that a nuclear exchange would lead to MAD (Mutually Assured Destruction) seem to have been forgotten in Washington. Without public debate, apparently without much public interest, the United States is preparing to allocate a trillion dollars over the next thirty years to modernize its entire nuclear arsenal.
As Ron Paul pointed out, “"From MAD to Madness could not be more timely reading. In it, a former senior Pentagon analyst from the last Cold War comes back from the past to warn us of the disaster we are courting…”
Today nuclear war is back on the table.

In an episode of Mythbusters, this myth was tested by shooting an Apple Powerbook G4 at close range with a 12-gauge shotgun. The team ran two tests – the first was unsuccessful, but for the second trial they aimed for the computer’s battery. Amazingly, this time the laptop was able to withstand the impact of the shotgun blast! DO NOT try this at home however – this does not have any kind of Discovery channel guarantee on it. It worked the one time under specific circumstances. It’s no substitute for a real bullet-proof vest. Watch a laptop take a shotgun blast in slow motion!

If betting on the Preakness ponies and getting sloshed in the Pimlico infield has little appeal, Republican Sen. J.B. Jennings is offering a bang-up alternative Saturday afternoon.
At the Freestate Gun Range in Middle River, for a contribution to Jennings’ campaign you can have your picture taken with National Rifle Association President David Keene and then pick up your weapon of choice for shooting practice.
A $50 ticket includes the “opportunity to shoot 25 rounds from a variety of handguns, including .22, 9mm, .40 and .45 calibers,” says the invitation. Sorry, no photo with the NRA prez.
A $100 ticket gets you the picture plus the chance “to shoot a rare .30 carbine mini anti-aircraft Gatling gun”; $250 gives you a “choice to shoot a Desert Eagle .50 caliber or a Taurus Raging Bull 454 Casull.” (The Desert Eagle is one of the most powerful semi-automatics around, as this video shows.) And a $500 sponsorship entitles you to the photo and the “opportunity to shoot a selection of fully automatic rifles.”
And there’s lunch before you hit the shooting range… (full article link below)

Kel tec pmr 30 suppressed
By Tony Martins. As a writer with an opinion about almost everything outdoors, I field my fair share of questions. The PMR is an extremely light weight The slide and barrel are steel, and the frame is aluminum. The grip, slide cover, trigger, magazine, mag release and safety levers are glass reinforced nylon called Zytellike many Kel-Tec offerings. The action is an odd hybrid blowback-locked-breech system.
Kel-Tec designed it to handle a wide variety of ammunition by seamlessly adjusting between locked breech and blowback operation, depending on the pressure generated by the cartridge. The double stack, round magazine fits completely within the grip, and is released with a European style push-latch at the heel. The single action trigger with over-travel stop is excellent. The manufacturer recommends the PMR for target shooting and hunting small game. Nevertheless, there is a growing legion of believers in the.
I can think of about a dozen additional reasons to own a PMR, and right at the top of this list is the fact that it is really fun to shoot! Although I would not recommend this weapon for bedroom night stand duty due to the extreme muzzle flash, it could well be the perfect sidearm for hunters who want to pack a backup gun.
Last waterfowl season I took advantage of the loud report, using it to scare ducks off a large reservoir for the pass shooting enjoyment of my hunting companions, thus saving my expensive non-toxic shotgun shells.
Survivalists and doomsday preppers love the PMR for its minimal weight and significant firepower. In fact, this handgun could very well be the ultimate zombie deterrent, and did I mention that shooting this little fire-breather is a real blast…?!!
The first thing you will notice when handling this gun is its amazing light weight.
At The unusual shape of the grip — wide at the back, narrower at the front, with a comparatively large span for a handgun in between — will also catch your attention. The size and shape of the grip could pose a problem for small hands.
Despite the fact that my hands are larger than average with long fingers, it took some time and purposeful practice to get comfortable with the unusual grip shape. Finally, loading more than 20 rounds in the magazine is not easy, requiring digital dexterity as well as some strength. Kel-Tech recommends tapping the back of the magazine on a flat surface after loading every 5 rounds, then every rounds after 15, as loading becomes more difficult.
This helps to seat the rounds properly and prevent rim overlap. Loading tools are available to make this task easier. When shooting this gun you are certain to notice two things immediately — a deafening report and a spectacular fireball at the muzzle. The latter is caused by the powder commonly used in.Decollete nere vernice negozio
This cartridge was designed for use with 16 inch or longer barrels to achieve optimum performance and thus, velocity is lost as some of the propellant ignites outside the confines of the chamber and barrel.I understand why some people hate it.
I also understand why some people are very devoted to it, so what else can I say about this gun. So, what I want to do today because I am nearing 1, rounds fired through this gun, is I want to celebrate the thousand rounds fired with some accuracy testing. Alright 25 yards away right there is my metal silhouette target.
We have a nice flat shooting fast cartridge. This should be a really good target pistol right? Twenty-five yards — That was too easy. We are at 40 yards, the target is right there. Its hit every single time. The target is right there. This tiny little 40 grain round it barely makes a little Tinky sound but it is hitting.
So far two misses. And this is the magazine that makes a thousand rounds! I have to start at the bottom of the target and then move up slightly and pull the trigger. There it is, a thousand rounds!Xerox phaser 3020 driver
Okay guys here it is final analysis time. The very first video was troubleshooting the kel-tec PMR That was the very first shots that I had ever fired with this gun. Now I need to explain to you that from the very start I was really intrigued by this thing. I never had a kel-tec before and in my mind, and in the mind of a lot of people, Kel-Tecs are economy guns.

The CMR 30 has some distinctly MP7-ish aesthetics and a modestly functional collapsing stock, inspiring us to pursue this build.
But that barrel just looks so … damn … long. And this being our chop-everything-themed issue, we decided to cleve it down to 10 inches. While I do tend to put variable optics on everything these days, so far that impulse has yet to extend to PDWs and pistols — perhaps just a matter of time.
It was harder to figure out an effective weapon-mounted light configuration. Pulling out a trick from early GWOT, we mounted a vertical foregrip and an offset weapon-mounted light in front of it.

Kel Tec have employed some innovative engineering that makes it a lightweight pistol that many different shooters will love to own. In this Kel Tec PMR review, we shall discuss different aspects of the pistol, including its background, features, specs, performance, and much more.
The popularity of the PMR pistol is primarily because of how different it is from other handguns on the market. The pistol is chambered in. And why the. Kit pistols are utility weapons and can be stored in a kit. You can slip them into a glove box or tackle box and can be used for self-defense or to shoot varmints.

The 4. The mix of materials used in manufacturing this pistol makes it lightweight — both the barrel and the slide are made of steel. The rest of the pistol is made of other lightweight materials. The frame, for instance, is made from aluminum, while a few other components are made from molded Zytel, which Kel Tec describes as glass-reinforced nylon.
The PMR30 has exemplary target acquisition because of the front and rear sights, as well as the fiber optic. There is also an integrated accessory rail for mounting a firearm light, ideal for those evening sessions. The fiber optic sights form three dots — a green dot that is located on the front post and two red dots on the rear notch. The backsight is fitted into the slide while the front one is dovetailed to allow for windage or replacement. Overall, the sights are fast enough at acquiring a target.
This means that it uses a pushbutton to prevent accidental firing, in case of the pistol being dropped. The release button also facilitates magazine retention. The position of the release button takes some getting used to and makes it a two-handed procedure. The only problem with this magazine release type is that it is not ideal for fast reloads. Plus, it takes a lot of time to load the rounds than loading a normal round rifle mag.
You will also need to knock the mag against your hands after several rounds to make sure the small rims remain aligned.

Environmental factors that affect accuracy one of the fun things about owning and using a pc or macintosh-based computer ballistics program is the opportunity you have to see how your particular bullet / powder combination is going to perform — at least theoretically. In a ballistic pendulum an object of mass m is fired with an initial speed v0 at a pendulum bobthe bob has a mass m, which is suspended by a rod of length l and negligible mass after the collision, the pendulum and object stick together and swing to a maximum angular displacement as shown (figure 1) part a. To do a good scientific test of the effects of weight vs velocity, you would want to reduce the number of variables, preferably to just one, weight and velocity you would need projectiles that are the same size and shape, but different weights.
