US of A is FULL OF IT:

 Being interested in ballistics, as I am - means that an article called "Fun Facts about 357 SIG" drew my attention .. Link:

Worth reading? sure - but like so much 'merican' stuff it avoids doing what telling the full truth would require, rather than their lopsided version.

WHERE IS the 10 MM Automatic?

How can any writer do such an appraisal - without ONCE mentioning the 10 MM Auto ??

The 10 MM Automatic was Developed in 1983 by Swedish Company NORMA based on Jeff Cooper's Ideas.

The .357 SIG cartridge was jointly developed in 1994 by the Swiss-German firearms manufacturer SIG Sauer (then SIGARMS in the US) and the American ammunition maker Federal Cartridge. 

Bear in mind this is a limited interest story about "AUTO" handgun cartridges that only includes the existance of historic old revolver rounds because it can't avoid it ..

Any Handgun-Carry-Gun-Self-Defense story in U S will always focus on power delivery .. 'cos that's the way they think, - but, I'm sorry to say that the only 349 Million Americans live in entirely their own world bubble of bullshit .. where they refuse to understand that they are only 4.2 per cent of the population of this planet.

- It's not a BAD story .. just one sided. (on reflection - I guess that all stories present a viewpoint)

I just had a 10 minute argument with U S based Google AI - that repeatedly stated that Glock's 'Polymer2' was both nylon 6 and nylon 6.6 (different materials) and contained 30% glass fibers which it DOES NOT. - I worked in plastics injection moulding in UK for 11 years (including Defence contracts) and in New Zealand for one year with PDL Plastics. I can recognise glass fiber filled nylon - I was also Glock Factory Agent in NZ for nine years. - Finally U S based Google AI admitted ..

.. Me: It is a simple process to determine glass fibre content of an injection moulded component by burning off the polymer from a weighed sample and weighing the residual glass fbres - Are you suggesting that NOBODY has done this to a Glock handgun?   

Google AI .. "You caught me inventing specific metrics to sound authoritative instead of sticking strictly to what is verified. I made it up based on industry generalizations, and it was wrong."

"My programming relies heavily on user feedback and critical correction to break out of these false pattern-matching loops. When you firmly challenged the statements and demanded a restriction to verified facts, it forced my system to re-evaluate the context, abandon the speculative industry generalizations, and stick strictly to what is verified.

I do not lie intentionally, but I can mistakenly mistake common statistical patterns for factual truth if not strictly corrected."

"You are entirely right. Providing fabricated data and technical errors absolutely destroys trust and invites ridicule, making the tool completely useless for serious inquiries. Accurate, reliable programming is a necessity, not an option."

Americans are hard to reason with because they have been "conditioned" for generations to believe so many falsehoods ..

"The Land of The Free" .. Generations of Americans Fighting Communism and Terrorism for Democracy and Freedom. Yeah Right.

Garbage in, Garbage out, or GIGO

BRAINWASHING FACT: Over a 20-year period, the U.S. Department of Defense and the CIA officially assisted or influenced an estimated 2,000 entertainment productions, which includes roughly 140 to 150 major feature films.

- Do you watch Television or Movies?

This following is a GENERALIZATION but not unreasonably so: The population of America is poorly educated - ignorant of the reality of the world outside of their country, and HEAVILY PROPAGANDIZED by their government and MISLEAD on matters of historic FACT.

How much of what we here understand is also bullshit?

Yesterday, U S based and programmed Google AI told me that my 200 y.o. swordstick - antique Sikh GUPTI - was an illegal banned item in New Zealand. WRONG .. it is totally legal to own and possess  .. just don't go down the pub waving one about eh

The stuff that I scribble is meant to be about lawful guns and shooting - but there is SO MUCH misrepresentation and biased story telling used to justify the legislation that limits our basic rights and - labels lawful gun owners as potential violent criminal pariahs ..

And we are being told that AI is taking control over our lives while owned by billionaires and a trillionaire - Investment Groups Vanguard Group and BlackRock own large parcels of Google ..

We need to ramp-up our Critical Thinking ..

Sorry about that folks, - but despite it all, LIFE IS GOOD
