Thanks to Those Who Helped Me:

[edit]

I have been using Wikipedia to ask questions, and now I am attempting to give back, but before I even start, I will read the policy material, and I want to take the time to thank:

Francis Flinch (talk)

For teaching me about the Accuracy International Arctic Warfare, bullets, and a well-made Wikibook: http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Marksmanship as well as showing me many new things I have never known about a real gun before.

For saving my previous misprinted article and putting it in my talk Wiki page.

Tactical vs. Standard Muzzle Brake

[edit]

I wasn't able to find an image of a tactical muzzle brake, but what does a tactical muzzle brake look like?

And what is the difference between a tactical and standard muzzle brake? Thecutnut (talk) 07:06, 10 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]


Go to the PGRS-1 muzzle brake article and look at the image. At http://www.eabco.com/cssmb.html you can see several other examples.

There is no real formal difference between standard and tactical muzzle brakes. There are two main categories. 1- Muzzle brakes that symmetrically vent propellant gasses in a full 360-degrees circle. 2 - Muzzle brakes that vent propellant gasses asymmetrically or symmetrically in 2 or more non full circular segments. Category 2 is often referred to as “tactical”, meaning they vent mainly sideways to minimize kicking up dirt from the ground when a firearm is fired near the ground (think firing rifles from bipods) or reducing muzzle jump when they vent upwards. Do not think category 1 models are inferior to category 2 models. The various muzzle brake design variations are intended for different usage.

The real world effect of adding muzzle brakes and what works and works not for a particular user and cartridge/firearm combo is best established by trail and error.--Francis Flinch (talk) 17:35, 10 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Shaved Sapsal

[edit]

You mentioned that you know of a sapsal dog that was shaved. Do you have a picture of it? Did you see it? I want to know if, under all that hair, we can see any relationship to the other Native Korean dog breeds. Chrisrus (talk) 21:33, 19 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
