Editorial: Guns in books

So, you want to be a paperback writer? Great! I've got a little something for all the writers out there. If you've been to the range in the last month or follow my blog, I'm not going to say anything new. Go cut the grass or have drink with friends. Nothing here for you. But if you’re a writer, established with publishing houses or just trying to get noticed, this is for you. Sit back and let's have some fun. Firearms are often misused by your characters. Sometimes it's how you are driving your story, but when they make a glaring mistake, you go down a notch with those of us who know better. From the amazing team of Preston and Child we read, "-popped the clip from the gun." That tells us the character has a semiautomatic handgun. Clip is the wrong term, it should be magazine, but it’s a tiny "oops" and we'll ignore it. Especially in light of this: "Empty. That left him only two shots in the chamber…thirteen roun...

Walther P38

I always wanted a Walther P38. Part of that came from being one of the iconic guns often seen in 'Man From U.N.C.L.E. ' The major part was that it was the first practical double/single action pistol. That’s pretty cool when you think about it. Here is a partial list of double/single action handguns including Beretta , Sig Sauer, CZ75, and HK we have today. But the P38 was the first, and its influence spread far. The double-action trigger and new breech-lock system were just two of its innovations. Our two heros with Walthers, but Solo seems to have some weird birdcage on his. "Without the P38, the development of military handguns would doubtless be much different," from Gene Gangarosa P.38 Automatic Pistol Carl Walther Waffenfabrik developed it. Yes, the same company that developed James Bond's weapon, the PP and PPK. Sadly, these are no longer in production. There are several features I ...

How About Some Pie?

Do you like pie? I know I do. Maybe you even have a favorite pie. But what about tactical pie? Unlike Superman, we can’t look through walls to see if anyone is hiding on the other side of a corner. We need to peek around the corner and see them and their ambush before they see us. This technique is called pieing a corner. What we’re trying to do is to see part of a potential target before they can see us. Unless we’re a smoke ninja, this is remarkably hard. Oh it’s easy enough with paper or steel targets. Doing it with people who shoot back is a real kick in the crotch. There are plenty of websites, videos and bloggers who will help you with this, but you’ll only get the abstract foundations unless you go out and practice it. Let me recommend the blog “The things worth believing in” entries called tactical preschool. Read them all, but for pieing corners, I’d read THIS and THAT first. A...

.50BMG vs Rubber fuel Tanks

Ever wonder why vehicles aren’t more susceptible to fire from a few stray rounds of .50 BMG? Surely a couple of .50s will have fuel spraying around everywhere looking for an ignition point. The answer is self-sealing fuel tanks. The tanks are a rubber/fabric composite and insoluble to the fuel used, except for one layer which swells when exposed to gasoline or other fuels. The swelling polymer plugs the hole. The next question is how fast do they seal? Again having even a little fuel spraying around a hot engine is a formula for disaster. I found this video at www.robbietanks.com/multimedia/videos . Select the one called .50 cal tumbled Robertson Improved HMMWV Tank or Improved LAV Tank. What I think is really cool is the bullet exits the tank backwards and sideways. I expected the .50 to just drill its way through the tank and exit point first. A .50 cal BMG leaving sideways… Talk about wound channel!!! As ...
