As PJ mentioned, Wikipedia has a wealth of knowledge about firearms.

I'd also recommend hitting Google to search for gun blogs.

Great show. A few quick notes, although I am not an expert:

First, an article on flashing bullets.

Second, some types of ammunition:

FMJ (Full Metal Jacket) - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Full_metal_jacket_bullet

Hollow Point - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hollow_point

The entry on bulletproof vests is also good.

There's more, but I just switched to Dvorak and am having to learn to type again.[/url]

Dvorak, eh? Small wonder you're having difficulty typing, then. I've found deceased composers make poor keyboards.

We'll see. I've only been using it for a couple of days, but I like it so far.

Decomposing composers - there's less of them every year....

You can say what you like to Debussy, but there's not much of him left to hear.
