Gun myths brought about by movies

Utahns love their guns. Hunting and target shooting are big hobbies in Utah. Most Utahns know about guns, and gun safety, but there are some people in the world that believe ridiculous myths about guns because they’ve seen it in the movies. Here are a few of the more ridiculous myths from cracked.com:

Silencers turn a gun shot into a gentle whisper

Silencers turn a gun shot into a gentle whisper

In the movies, spies and assassins know that if you want to take out a bad guy in his office or a library, you can just use a silencer which will turn the concussive “bang” into a barely audible noise. Here’s the problem: exploding gun powder is really loud and a small metal tube won’t do a whole lot to stop that. An un-silenced gunshot is around 140 to 160 decibels, which means hearing it once can permanently damage your hearing. A silencer can take that down to 120 or 130, a little different than the movies show.

Machine guns hold an endless supply of bullets

In many action movies they depict machine guns firing a hundred times more bullets than they can actually hold. An M4 machine gun can hold 30 bullets, firing a gun like that on full auto will take 4 seconds before you have to reload.

Bullet proof vests are magical force fields

Bullet proof vests are magical force fields

Of course a bullet proof vest will keep you more safe than you would be without one, but a bullet proof vest is not going to keep you safe from repeated shots from an AK-47 like they show in the movies. Kevlar vests are effective against most hand-guns, but they’re not so great against assault rifles, but luckily less than one percent of gun crimes involve military style rifles. There are military grade body armor which is much heavier (33 pounds), but it’s still only rated for effectiveness at further than 14-meters distance.

Fort Knox

Fort Knox is the only manufacturer that allows you to build a safe to meet your needs; why would the interior be any different. As you create your safe you can choose from an all shelf design, to half long gun storage or all long gun storage.

Fusion 360 | Digital Marketing

Modern marketing is pure chaos. Consumers are revolting against stagnate companies and abandoning traditional media in droves. Only those who adapt will succeed. The revolution is in full-swing. Consumers are dictating how they want to do business and it's not the way you've probably done business before.
