BOXERS and BERDANS Primers - What about BENET and SMOOT?

Primers are tiny explosive charges that detonate the main propellant charge in a firearm by the triggered hammer-blow. We know these things could be dangerous and need to be handled with care - 

Unlike the multiple explosive charges that are hidden into all "modern" cars - as many as SIX TO TEN or more explosive charges .. called by the Marketing Men AIRBAGS. Deliberate Deception.

They are nothing to do with "air" and these exploding inflators can and do cause injuries.

I never had a clue that our primers are wrongly named or wrongly attributed by the Sales liars - Well, I'd not really thought about it at all .. PRIMERS that is - and their historic development.

You could call me "Pig Ignorant" about this - please do, - and you'd be right.

That's a PRIMER in there.

If I had seen those cartridges I'd have said 'old RIM FIRES' not centerfire cartridges with internal primers.

We all have stuff that we know little or nothing about - that's fine as long as we don't pretend that we do know .. The Corrected History indicates that BOXER primers are not properly named.

To be even further honest - I didn't really know what "throwing down" was ..

And the second piece of Reading Homework .. linked

This is very detailed and fine writing about Metallic Cartridges - their PRIMERS and PATENTS history.

I am not in any way qualified to write about this stuff .. And it needs to be said that if you can't be bothered to read THE FACTS you won't suffer much at all - like you won't lose your job or be expelled from your Masonic Lodge whatever.

- It's just that there is SO MUCH BULLSHIT & Marketing SPIN around, - it is refreshing to sometimes get the truth .. Presently, the whole Western political narrative is nonsensical 'spin' with every accusation made of Chinese, Iranian & Russian aggression and terrorism being a transferance of the facts. UK and U S leaders seem to be believing their own propaganda machines.

Are You a Fit and Proper Person?

Are NZ Police 'FIT AND PROPER'?

FIREARMS LICENCES FOR NZ POLICE.

Wouldn't it be nice .. GREAT even - if it was a criminal offence to LIE?
