    You should shoot yourself with small caliber bullets to build up immunity to larger ones.

      The body has a way of just shutting that down.

    US police training?

    • Alcoholicorn@mander.xyz ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

      Unironically there’s training where they show trainees 2fps videos of people quick-drawing on cops, and they don’t pass until they shoot the frame the person reaches in a pocket, since theres zero frames between seeing a gun and getting shot.

        That’s the old training videos, from the woke Obama years. Now they’re just shown videos of black men with their hands up, women driving cars, and kids with their backs turned. If it’s an irate white dude with an AR you de-escalate. Unless that dude looks like he’s gay or possibly a pale Mexican.

    Check if the firearm is loaded by checking for a bullet while looking down the barrel. Optionally, ask a friend for help, just point it towards them for a quick check.

        Reynholm is so thoughtful, he wouldn’t want the bullet to go to waste.

    The first one is correct in an odd roundabout way. You can tell if the weapon is loaded by its weight. If the weapon has any weight whatsoever, i.e. it exists, it is treated as if it is loaded. Is there a weapon on the ground in front of you? It’s loaded. Have you been holding it for a while? It’s loaded. Did you clear it then put it on the ground and walk away for a bit? Surprise! It’s magically loaded again.

      The devil loads the weapon while you’re not looking

      source
    • BeardededSquidward@lemmy.blahaj.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

      The always loaded thing is to also teach you to not treat it flippantly. That you keep cognizant of where it’s pointing at all times and never at someone without intention to shoot them. Even if it’s a semi-auto with the magazine out, slide back, chamber empty you still treat that like a loaded gun.

        During my service, the first rule was extended: “every weapon must be regarded as loaded, until you ensured it isn’t”

    Wanna hear something dumb? Not even a sarcastic joke: If you have a loaded revolver with a cocked hammer, and you want to unload it, you must pull the trigger.

    Reductive to say it that way, but basically the cylinder locks while the hammer is back, and most hammers won’t move once in position. Ultimately, the trigger’s job is specifically to release the hammer - just normally resulting in a violent impact with the bullet. If the hammer is being tightly held, or even blocked with one’s full hand, the weapon won’t go off.

    I don’t own a gun, but I remember it because it’s the stupidest gun fact I’ve learned.

      it’s probably really cheap and reliable to build it that way? that’s what i always assume when i hear “dumb” design for some products

      source
      • BeardededSquidward@lemmy.blahaj.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

        It’s required for how revolver weapons operate. You cannot have the cylinder floating at all as even a few mm of difference can result in catastrophic failure. People saying revolvers are more “reliable” are full of fucking shit. The damn things are like clocks with their own set of springs and similar to operate.

        It was true that early semi-autos were unreliable in keeping from going off suddenly with a round chamber and hammer back. That was early ones though, not today’s. While it’s not 100%, it’s still much safer than a revolver with the hammer back.

      You also can’t disassemble a Glock for cleaning without pulling the trigger.

    God fucking damnit.

    I get that this is a joke, and it is a good joke, but guns will fucking kill you if you are fucking stupid.

    Best way to check if a gun is loaded is by pulling the trigger.

    source
    • Katana314@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

      You should probably look down the barrel as you do, so you can watch whether a bullet comes out, right? Otherwise you might miss it.

      source
      • trollercoaster@sh.itjust.works ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

        Simply hold your thumb to the muzzle, this will stop the bullet from coming all the way out.

        source
    • trollercoaster@sh.itjust.works ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

      Be careful with that method, it can yield false results if the weapon is loaded, but not cocked. Better make sure to cock it first before pulling the trigger.

      source
      • ExLisper@lemmy.curiana.net ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

        Please, don’t say cock.

    My rules of firearms safety:

    1. Live in a country where firearms are not allowed
    2. Be kind, don’t make enemies

      You’d be surprised how many left and liberal leaning people have come around to firearms recently… For no easily identifiable reason at all. SRA and LGC have seen a shitload of new members.

        Liberals can have guns. They just can’t be seen in public with them without an uproar.
