LuckyGunner has conducted a fairly exhaustive ballistics test on 117 self-defense handgun loads in .380ACP, .45ACP, .40S&W, and 9mm (with more in the works), looking at penetration, amount of expansion, and muzzle velocity.

Check it out over at Lucky Gunner.

ETA: They also have free printable targets.

"The Disturbing Truth About How Airplanes Are Maintained Today"

Quote:

In the last decade, most of the big U.S. airlines have shifted major maintenance work to places like El Salvador, Mexico, and China, where few mechanics are F.A.A. certified and inspections have no teeth.

What if the world lost all oxygen for 5 seconds?

I know some of that is basically correct, but is any of it just plain wrong?

Some sound pretty far out, but all the metal fusing together is wrong. Removing the oxygen for 5 seconds doesn't instantly remove the accumulated oxidation. There's also the little matter of paint, oil, and other coatings on said metal. They've taken a scientific known and stretched it to an unrecognizable fat tick, then call it a certainty, a "fact". Short on truth and long on hyperbole... commonly known as bullshit.
