Been a little while since we did much in the world of guns – with the SHOT show wrapping up I suspect we will be bombarded with the NEWEST!\u00a0 GREATEST!! LATEST!! for several months to come. I did see a couple of interesting stories though:<\/p>\n
First off, in Maryland they are blowing straight past “infringed” to ‘INFRINGING!’<\/strong><\/p>\n The controversial legislation, introduced by Delegate Terri Hill, D-Howard County, would prohibit the “wear or carry” of a gun anywhere in the state unless the individual has obtained a liability insurance policy of at least $300,000.<\/p>\n “A person may not wear or carry a firearm unless the person has obtained it and is covered by liability insurance issued by an insurer authorized to do business in the State under the Insurance Article to cover claims for property damage, bodily injury, or death arising from an accident resulting from the person\u2019s use or storage of a firearm or up to $300,000 for damages arising from the same incident, in addition to interest and costs,” the proposed Maryland legislation said.<\/p>\n Hill told FOX 45 News that this bill is an attempt to pass “common sense” gun control.\u00a0 Fox News<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n Seems to me Howard is just west of Baltimore? And we know how good a job Bal’mur is doing with their crime problem. Last I heard they were one of the top three tourist destinations in the country if you wanted to get jacked, shot, or otherwise interact with the criminal class. Besides being\u00a0 unConstitutional as all get-out,\u00a0 this clearly discriminates against poor folks, right? Like paying to vote.<\/p>\n Just once, I’d love to see someone do something targeting the criminals<\/em>. I know, it will never happen because they don’t care about doing anything about crime unless its wrongthink. But a fella can dream…<\/p>\n <\/p>\n And in the home of some of the best battle rifles ever made (the name Mauser might come to mind. Or numbers like G3), Deutschland,\u00a0 Houston, we have a problem.\u00a0 Our gewehrs are sheiss. They suck. Nice to know one of the biggest lynchpins of NATO says their newest is\u00a0 crap.<\/p>\n The German army\u2019s new assault rifle is not accurate enough and cannot be relied upon to work properly in battle, according to a classified report.<\/p>\n \u201cCurrent testing by the army in laboratory conditions shows that the weapon doesn\u2019t meet army standards when loaded with combat ammunition,\u201d said the review, which was first revealed by Der Spiegel news magazine.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n Seems Heckler & Koch did their G96A1 testing with nice civilian ammo under good conditions. When the Germans tested them using military ammo at a variety of temperature ranges (who knew, wars aren’t always fought on warm sunny days?) the field accuracy is insufficient.<\/p>\n This comes after they Germans had to replace their G36 (also an H&K product) because in combat the weapon would melt its barrel handguards .<\/p>\n The G36 extensively utilises plastic in its construction, but German troops serving in Afghanistan began complaining that their weapons would lose accuracy after sustained firing.<\/p>\n The defence ministry\u2019s investigation found that, during shooting, a plastic channel that the barrel sits in would heat up and become soft, leaving it out of alignment.<\/p>\n In 2015, a Bundeswehr survey found that only 8 per cent of German soldiers trusted their weapons, and Ursula von der Leyen, then defence minister, ditched the G36.\u00a0\u00a0 DYNUZ<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n In fairness elite KSK troops (Kommando Spezialkrafte, if you just must know) are using the G96A1 and are happy with it. It is due for general issue to the troops next year.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/M98-300x120.jpg\")
