Download or read book Effects of Improper Ammunition Storage written by Victoria André and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 101 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Firearms are commonly used by law enforcement, hunters, and civilians either for protection, sport or criminal activity. Ammunition is used in traditional firearms such as rifles and handguns, and consists of a cartridge case, propellant, a bullet (projectile), and primer. The two types of priming systems within the cartridge that are commonly used today are rimfire and centerfire cartridges. There are several types of malfunctions that can occur with ammunition. Improper ammunition storage is one major factor that plays a role in ammunition failure. One form of improper ammunition storage is where the storage environment being used abruptly changes due to an external liquid or solid material submerging the ammunition. As a result, ammunition failure and damage to the firearm may occur if used. This study observed how ammunition function is affected when it is improperly stored in the following materials: water, soil, Hoppe's No. 9 Gun Bore Cleaning Solvent, and WD-40. This research showed that although there were distressed cartridges that fired successfully with an expected average velocity measurement obtained, the majority of the cartridges exhibited changes such as ammunition failure, low velocity, and anomaly velocity measurements. All of the distressing materials used had an adverse effect on the cartridges, with Hoppe's No. 9 Gun Bore Cleaning Solvent being the most detrimental on all cartridge sets. These findings encourage future work to be done to observe any additional detrimental effects of improper ammunition storage in an external liquid or solid.

Book excerpt: The author, a New York Times reporter, traces the invention and mass distribution of the AK-47 assault rifle, and its effects on war. He traces the invention of the assault rifle, following the miniaturization of rapid-fire arms from the American Civil War, through World War I and Vietnam, to present-day Afghanistan, where Kalashnikovs and their knockoffs number as many as 100 million, one for every seventy persons on earth. It is the weapon of state repression, as well as revolution, civil war, genocide, drug wars, and religious wars; and it is the arms of terrorists, guerrillas, boy soldiers, and thugs. From its inception to its use by more than fifty national armies around the world, to its role in modern-day Afghanistan, he discusses how the deadly weapon has helped alter world history.
Download or read book Firearm Safety Certificate Manual for California Firearms Dealers and DOJ Certified Instructors written by California Department of Justice and published by . This book was released on 2016-12 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The growing concern over the number of accidental firearm shootings, especially those involving children, prompted passage of the initial handgun safety law which went into effect in 1994. The stated intent of the California Legislature in enacting the current FSC law is for persons who obtain firearms to have a basic familiarity with those firearms, including, but not limited to, the safe handling and storage of those firearms. The statutory authority for this program is contained in Penal Code sections 26840 and 31610 through 31700. These statutes mandate DOJ to develop, implement and maintain the FSC Program. Pursuant to Penal Code section 26840, a firearms dealer cannot deliver a firearm unless the person receiving the firearm presents a valid FSC, which is obtained by passing a written test on firearm safety. Prior to taking delivery of a firearm from a licensed firearms dealer, the purchaser/recipient must also successfully perform a safe handling demonstration with that firearm..

This book was released on 2006-08-29 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 1 2 Prof. Dr. Vladimir Mikhailovitsh Kolodkin , Prof. Dr.-Ing. Wolfgang Ruck 1 Institute of Natural and Technogenic Disasters, Udmurt State University, Izhevsk (Russia), 2 Institute of Ecology and Environmental Chemistry, University Lüneburg (Germany) During the Cold War a whole arsenal of deadly chemical weapons was allowed to build up on both sides of the ideological divide. Happily, today the problems are reversed. Expertise is now required in the field of safe and environment-friendly disposal of chemical weapons and cleaning up of contaminated sites all around the world, but not least in the ex-Soviet-led countries. The participants and speakers to the NATO-Russia advanced research workshop on the “Ecological Risks Associated with the Destruction of nd th Chemical Weapons”, hosted by the University of Lüneburg on 22 - 26 October, 2003, therefore, came from many different parts of the world. Of the eight countries represented at the workshop, two were ex-Eastern- Block, and six were Western countries. Yet the West was by no means overrepresented. On the contrary, the Russian expert-speaker contingent, with 33 participants, did justice to the size of their country – and to their chemical-weapons problem – and provided the majority of active participants. In all, there were 57 participants, of which 11 dispatched from the TACIS project “The development of the chemical weapons” facility at the detached plant No 4 of OAO Khimprom, Novocheboksarsk.

Download or read book Risk Analysis for Temporary Storage of Ammunition in Combat Areas written by and published by . This book was released on 1992 with total page 19 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many elements of the Army must store quantities of ammunition and other explosives in order to perform their basic mission, Department of Defense (DOD) regulations provide safety standards to minimize the risk and consequences of an accidental explosion of stored ammunition (Reference 1). For operations in combat areas, the standards are less restrictive, and allow reduced separation distances (Quantity-Distance, or Q-Dk) between the munition storage and personnel, structures, vehicles, or other assets. Furthermore, a unit commander may determine that even those allowable reductions in Q-D's cannot be met without adversely affecting his unit's combat rearfiness. To make the most intelligent decision, the field commander must weigh the increase in risk to his troops and equipment that would be created by compromising the safety standards, against the tactical benefits to be gained. At present, there is no ready reference guide to help fie commander make such an "on-the-spot" judgement. The purpose of this study is to develop realistic, practical, and applicable guidelines for field commanders which will describe, in tangible, quantitative terms, the increased risk incurred by specific deviations from the prescribed ammunition storage safety standards (i-e., the Q-D values) in combat scenarios.

As educators, administrators, counselors, social workers, and policy makers grapple with the complex challenges presented by violence, this book serves as a comprehensive guide to understanding the multifaceted dimensions of the issue. Examining topics such as gun violence, mental health, school suspension, student success, bullying, violence reduction programs, alternative schools, inner-city youth programs, and zero-tolerance policies, the manuscript synthesizes current research, real-world examples, and innovative solutions. Impact of Gun Violence in School Systems not only sheds light on the root causes of violence within educational settings but also provides actionable insights and recommendations, making it an indispensable resource for those committed to creating safer and more conducive learning environments for our youth.
Download or read book Parameter Study of Underground Ammunition Storage Magazines Results of Explosion Tests in Small Scale Models written by and published by . This book was released on 1994 with total page 15 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The U.S. Army Engineer Waterways Experiment Station (WES) has conducted research on airblast propagation inside underground ammunition storage facilities. The purpose of the research was to develop magazine design enhancements which would minimize the Airblast Inhabited Building Distance (IBD) should an accidental internal detonation occur. This effort was a part of the Joint U.S./Korea R & D Study for New Underground Ammunition Storage Technologies. A series of 1:20-scale experiments were conducted at WES to establish a baseline data base against which to evaluate the effects of blast reduction designs on the IBD. Parameters evaluated during the study included tunnel length, tunnel/chamber diameter ratio, and chamber loading density (Table l). The parameter study was performed with a simple, "shot gun" design of an underground magazine (storage chamber and access tunnel coaxially aligned).
