Poison filled Hollow Points?

[sniper7]

To think I thought, “there was an 8 page discussion on poison bullets!?...awesome”

As far as explaining this one, that is tricky.

I will give it a go



Treadmill is moving the belt relative to the plane at X speed backwards

Planes wheels, if the plane is stationary, are spinning at X speed

Planes props will push/pull the plane forward at Y speed, (Y would be a range from just starting up to taking off)

Upon the start of the props turning the plane will move forward so long as the wheels free spin and drag of wheels is not involved in the equation.

The wheels will spin at X speed plus Y speed. The plane will only move at Y speed and the treadmill will continue to move backwards at X speed.


The wheels spin faster than the plane is moving


I think I just made it more complicated. Basically the wheels are acting as an intermediary, making it such that the treadmill and the plane body have nothing to do with each other.



In terms of poison bullets, they have the pepper powder paint balls. I could see that being handy in terms of a non-lethal option for cops who don’t want to carry two weapons, just add a special magazine, but you would still have to worry about the bullet casing around the pepper spray splashing everybody upon it impacting the ground.

just remember airplanes fly based on airspeed. groundspeed is what the wheels will turn at. an airplane can fly at 0 groundspeed, negative groundspeed, but never at 0 airspeed or negative airspeed.

the wheels/tires are there to reduce friction and make for an easier way for maintenance to change parts out.

If all you do is shoot to wound someone, you must not have been in such desperate straits that a firearm was necessary ("Excessive Force") and your butt is going to get sued big time. Personally, I don't want a live criminal who can sue me later.

It's not getting sued by a BG that I'm concerned with. I'd be concerned with the BG coming back to finish the harm they intended to do to me in the first place.

I read the first page which mentions poisoned hollow points, darts and arrows. PRETTY colorful I thought. I Skipped ahead to the last page.. now you guys are talking about Airplane, 0 air speed and treadmill. ((#^$&%#$@ ???)

Bah.. I ll catch up with the rest over the weekend.

I was always told that you never shoot to wound. If you fear for your life (or a family member's, or someone else) and the situation is so serious that you have to use a gun, you use it for what it was intended for. If all you do is shoot to wound someone, you must not have been in such desperate straits that a firearm was necessary ("Excessive Force") and your butt is going to get sued big time. Personally, I don't want a live criminal who can sue me later. If they're doing something so serious that I am compelled to use a firearm to defend me or mine, I don't think trying to wound them would be appropriate.

I don't think poison would be necessary if you have proper shot placement.

Gun Control means never having to say you missed.

Rgr Troublco, I agree with you. You do not shoot to wound in a life threatening situation, you shoot to kill. I was just saying that a prosecutor or something could make teh argument that posion filled bullets could be construed as premeditated murder instead of just a regular bullet.


Good Stuff Foxtrot.
