A question for gun experts.

I know nothing about guns ( as I think I've proven in another thread)
But was wondering tonight .......
In Camera lenses you can have stabilisation, to counter any little shake
In the photographers hand. So ( here comes my stupid question ) is there
Anything like that, a stabilised barrel ? To counter the shake of a soldier's
Hand. Or have I just invented a new Q toy. )

As I said, know nothing about them, but if you don't ask you'll never know.
HI TP im in your camp I don't know sod all about guns except they go bang but I do remember reading about the
famous Tommy gun ,Thompson 45 cal sub-machine gun. I think ,and im sure our very own gun expert ASP9MM will put me
right ,this was or could have been fitted with a Cutts compensator .This was on the end of the barrel ,so when you fired it,some of the gases/flames would be diverted up wards,to help keep the barrel down.I may be totally wrong 8-)
Ideas are not for the real world as another I had was ......
A rifle with a built in GPS targeting system, which ca n communicate with its
Bullets via WiFi, to correct for " windage" etc. To direct the bullet on target. )
Hey, he has asked the real experts and not morons.....
TP let me tell you that it's a brilliant idea and the first step to a Nikon PPK.
Hope that one projectile finds its way to ASP9mm s balls.

Possibly to avoid flying glass at close range as a bullet of course has much more velocity going through a window than does the butt of a gun or some other implement wielded by a human hand.
Whom ever was outside that you were about to start shooting.
( as I said, thought about it last night ) )
Well, it was just an educated guess really, as I am far from being an expert on guns or ballistics.
I suppose the breaking of a window would give a warning, alternatively I suppose that one could just open the window as quietly as possible...

A great twist on this type of thing in films is provided by Scaramanga the film version of TMWTGG where we the audience think that he is about to shoot Bond unmolested but instead shoots energy expert Gibson as he emerges from the Bottoms Up club.

I'd have voted for him .
He certainly had more teeth than Tony Blair! )
As for breaking glass under most circumstances, unless you wanted to announce your arrival prior to opening fire (why?), I can see no practical reason.
someone who knows something about them ( Or indeed most subjects) {[] and if you
don't ask, you'll never know.
Yes, thank you indeed, Stagg. It's amazing the expertise we have here on AJB - there's always a member who knows the answer. This is a forum to be rightly proud of! -{

This has to go in my, I thought of it too late pile, along with luminous
Tattoo ink, to show up under UV light etc. Sadly it already exists
I'm never going to make my millions if this keeps up ! )
( amazing stuff, by the way Stagg -{ )
That's not quite true. Shooting through glass deforms the bullet and can take it of its natural trajectory to a lesser or higher degree depending on the angle it is fired at.
It also depends on the round fired. Hollow points are designed to deform and flatten in contact with flesh, so going through glass first would really effect the round and cause it to dump energy and lose its impact on the secondary mass.
Like I said I'm no expert. I did mention about angles but was guessing. I'm also guessing that Bond would be sufficiently switched on to double tap, regardless of ammo type, Allow the first round to smash the glass & in all likelihood carry on to strike the target with sufficient remaining kinetic energy to penetrate, if it didn't the follow up shot would do the business. BTW I've only ever fired the Browning 9mil pistol. Tactically speaking, if you wanted to maintain the element of surprise upon your target would it not make sense to fire into rather than smash the glass. Think about hitting it with the butt then getting back into the aim. Also for those not familiar with firearms, we are speaking about pistol ranges, which are short.
They have been touting a new riflescope that is tied to a small computer and it is supposed to make everyone a deadly shot at unbelievable ranges,,,however, like I said, $3000.00 to $8000.00 a pop and they have never been battle tested.
I'm sure that in the near future these devices will be cheaper. They are illegal for hunting in every state in the USA because they use a laser and this "casts a light on the game.", which is illegal.

Don't worry, stag.
Asp9mm and me are the resident gun experts, so if you have any related questions, ask me first and Asp9mm for a second opinion

I'm far more familiar with long arms but, do you agree that JB would have been aware of the issues around shooting through pane glass with a pistol - especially with his Beretta - & would have compensated by double tapping?
