Hmm, may be true - but it is also related to bullet weight etc, a faster spin does NOT necessarily equal accuracy every time.Originally Posted by T.W.R

" Life is not a rehearsal, it's as happy or miserable as you want to make it"
There were up to six police officers shooting in the NRA till a few years ago. All were from Wellington, and as far as I know, I think only one is now shooting on a regaular basis. (Of course, there may be police in some of the other many shooting disciplines in this country, as sport. I suspect the percentage to be very low though)Originally Posted by Sniper
I thought his name was Paul Chase???? Oh well, maybe I was wrong!!!Originally Posted by Lou Girardin

Shot with a 357 - only a dick would face off a 357 with a chrome weight lifting bar - especially if he had recently fired a shot into the roof of a pub with a chrome barrelled shotgun which in the darkness inside a house at night could also look like a chrome weight lifting bar..

My turn for a rant; some of you expect ALL police to have perfect judgement, to drive like experts, to shoot like marksmen, to fight like gladiators etc etc - we are all just average guys - and you lot pay us accordingly.
We to want to go home to our families, to have day off, to relax and sleep without a worry about what we have done/to do.
We do such a variety of jobs on a daily basis that there is NO way we can do ALL of them to perfection, sorry but that is the way it is.
And so many of you spout so much inaccurate ballistic/firearm info that it worries me how much else is spouted off on this site with the same amount of inaccuracy - and is accepted by the unknowing as fact.
END OF RANT.

Yes - but you can clip on another load pretty quickly, - goes through a leather jacket pretty good too!Originally Posted by thehollowmen
The good thing about carrying both tazers AND pistols is that the 'bad guy' is not sure what you're pointing at him - and even if it is a tazer he knows what happens if he get hit by one.

Faster spin means the groups will be tighter (especially if nothing else changes eg gun mounted in a vice and fired) ... but that don't mean they'll be placed any better.Originally Posted by scumdog
Would a taser attachment on the trigger guard of the glock make things more fun?Originally Posted by scumdog
*evil grin*
mounted like those mag light accessories or laser sights?
Too fast a rate of spin will fling heavy bullets all over the place. (sorry if I have this wrong and it should be 'light bullets' but one rate of spin does not all bullets suit).Originally Posted by thehollowmen

Why do you think a faster spin will group tighter???? I think this is a VERY relative assumption, and quite vague. Like most things it is a matter of finding perfect balance between all factors in an equation. Faster spin does increase the odds of a bullet disintegrating mid flight. Believe me that happens more than you might think.Originally Posted by thehollowmen
I sympathise with you. You have no idea how many Fark ups I make in a day! But I still think I'm good! LOL. But I do set myself high standards.Originally Posted by scumdog
Yup. Cannot believe some of the crap I've read in this thread! I don't know pistols, so don't talk pistols. Had a go with a few, (target 22, revolver think it was a .38, and a very nice semi .45) at a pistol club. Doesn't make me an expert tho.Originally Posted by scumdog
Drop the attitude FFS.Originally Posted by Swoop
You said that the police must use standard issue firearms but only because they have a heavier trigger pull. Heavier than what? A boiled egg? Or were you meaning heavier than a competition target shooting pistol?
The trigger pull on a Glock is not even remotely heavy, if you want to insist that its "standard" then thats fine by me but it aint heavy. And that makes your statement about, police / must use / standard issue / heavy trigger pull, nonsense.
Jesus H Christ there is some fucken bullshit in this thread.
I'm basing this on years of archery, and a bit of shooting.Originally Posted by Stevo
With rotation in relation to bullet to bullet variances I'm thinking the physics behind it must be pretty similar.
Any defect in an arrow will be ballenced out pretty well if rotates nice and fast.. you can watch the arrows do a helix type path that grows wider as it heads down the range. Bullets also can have a slight tumble (is that the right word) where the nose or the rear moves in a slight circle compared with the other end. The faster you can make it rotate (And travel) the finer the flight path helix becomes.
The direction these helixes start in is dependant on variation between arrows (amoung other things) ... make the helixes small and you get a tighter group.
hard to explain without good diagrams.. if someone does get my drift, please tell me if I'm on the right path here
I can understand that tooOriginally Posted by scumdog
We did a lot of 'arrow tuning' to try and get the spin and velocity matched ... we found that as we changed one the other would change as well.
From it was the lighter arrows that could be flung off to a side as they left the bow if they had too much spin
wee this is a great way to get my post count up
less than three
Worse than that - with arrows you had their 'spine' to worry about, at least I don't have THAT worry!!Originally Posted by thehollowmen

ehehehe that tooOriginally Posted by scumdog
but that canceled out not long after they left the bow.. the spline just had to overcome the archer's paradox didn't it?
