Bullets have been around for a really long time. Man began using bullets made out of lead http://www.authenticeaglesshop.com/ , stone or clay millennia before the concept of firearms was even developed and the Romans even managed to take the basic bullet to the next level with whistling bullets that traveled at speeds of 100 meters per second and were made using 1-ounce lead balls in their centers. The modern-day bullet has evolved tremendously, with one particular invention holding center stage- the frangible bullet.
The Purpose of a Frangible Bullet
Frangible projectiles were first created for shooting galleries back in the mid-20th century, but as science started to gain a foothold in the industry and the world progressed to a new era, these projectiles became more and more advanced. The main purpose of a frangible bullet is to eliminate or reduce the chance of a backsplash or a ricochet. While the early projectiles were more about minimizing injuries http://www.authenticeaglesshop.com/Eagles-Zach-Ertz-Draft-Jersey/ , the modern-day bullets are also about self defense and close-quarter battle.
The Composition of a Modern Day Frangible Projectile
The modern day frangible bullet is made with powder metallurgy, a process that requires sintering and pressing powdered metals into the shape of the bullet. Copper is the most commonly used metal because of its ductile and malleable properties, and also because it easily deforms under comprehensive and tensile stress. Other metals like tin are used as binding agents. The frangibility of these projectiles makes them the ideal choice for self defense, hunting and steel plate shooting. Not only do they offer a cleaner kill and the best chance to drop the attacker http://www.authenticeaglesshop.com/Eagles-Wilbert-Montgomery-Draft-Jersey/ , they also disintegrate on impact to reduce the risk of wounding bystanders due to over-penetration.
A Cause for Concern?
Many shooters believe that lightweight projectiles are not accurate. However, when tested in real life situations, every caliber of frangible bullets turned out to be as accurate as non-frangible counterparts at distances that varied from 7 yards to 25 yards. With great accuracy, came great precision as well. In simple terms http://www.authenticeaglesshop.com/Eagles-Wes-Hopkins-Draft-Jersey/ , accuracy is when you hit the target. Precision is when you hit the exact group where you wanted your bullet to land.
Getting the Job Done
Frangible projectiles aren’t just a great option for steel plates. They’re obviously a great choice for close quarter training, but they can also take your hunting and self defense to the next level. Permanent wound cavities, shattered bones and penetration depth ensure that they have a devastating effect on the target, while a lack of ricochet means that they only affect the intended target and not an innocent bystander. With frangible bullets http://www.authenticeaglesshop.com/Eagles-Wendell-Smallwood-Draft-Jersey/ , you’ll always have the option to get the job done quickly, while making sure it gets done right!
If you’re still to explore the world of frangible projectiles, it’s high time you get into the game. There’s no ricochet, no over-penetration http://www.authenticeaglesshop.com/Eagles-Tommy-Mcdonald-Draft-Jersey/ , no backlash and the perfect aim. What’s not to love about this modern-day ammo! " MADRID, Dec. 20 (Xinhua) -- FC Barcelona coach Luis Enrique commented in the press conference ahead of Saturday's BBVA Primera Liga game at home to struggling Cordoba that 2014 had been a great year for him and that returning to the club he represented as a player was like moving to 'Disneyland.'
Although Barca's routine 5-0 win at home to struggling Cordoba was far from being a trip to the magic kingdom, it was, in the second half at least http://www.authenticeaglesshop.com/Eagles-Timmy-Jernigan-Draft-Jersey/ , an improvement on the Mickey Mouse display his side had produced in Getafe a week earlier and means they will end 2014 just one point behind Real Madrid all be it having played an extra game.
Luis Enrique decided against starting with Brazilian striker Neymar in his side, preferring Pedro to striker, who has struggled with an ankle injury all week.
That faith was rewarded in just the second minute, when Ivan Rakitic picked out Pedro's run and set him up to open the score with a well-taken finish.
It was Pedro's third league goal of the season and Barca almost doubled their 11 minutes when Luis Suarez went close http://www.authenticeaglesshop.com/Eagles-Stefen-Wisniewski-Draft-Jersey/ , before Nabil Ghilas' shot into the side netting warned Barca that although they were controlling the ball Cordoba pose a threat on the break, although on the whole the visitors were content to sit deep with two well-organized defensive lines to frustrate the Catalans.
Leo Messi, Andres and Pedro all tried to extend Barca's lead, but were frustrated by the visitors defense before goalkeeper Juan Carlos sent a Jordi Alba shot for a corner in the stroke of halftime.
Luis Suarez's first league goal since joining from Liverpool doubled Barca's lead seven minutes into the second half. He Uruguayan controlled a pass from Pedro to calmly finish a move begun by Andres Iniesta.
Rakitic's powerful shot from outside of the area in the 56th minute cold have sealed the game for Barca http://www.authenticeaglesshop.com/Eagles-Sidney-Jones-Draft-Jersey/ , but the ball bounced back off the woodwork and the Croatian was replaced by Xavi Hernandez soon afterwards.
Xavi's appearance was his 741st official match for his club and sees him equal former Real Madrid striker, Raul Gonzalez's record number of outfield appearances, so it was fitting he provided the cross which allowed Gerard Pique to head home Barca's third of the game with 10 minutes remaining.
Two minutes later Messi added his side's fourth as a loose ball in the Cordoba penalty area fell kindly for him to beat Juan Carlos and he netted a fifth in injury time to give the score a sheen, which perhaps Barca's football did not entirely deserve.
