Frequently Asked Questions

What are the four basic rules of gun safety?

The four basic rules of gun safety are: 1. Know your target and what's behind it. 2. Treat every gun as if it's loaded. 3. Keep your finger off the trigger until ready to shoot. 4. Never point a gun at anything you aren't willing to destroy.

Why is shooting Tannerite at close range dangerous?

Shooting Tannerite at close range is dangerous due to the intense shockwaves and pressure generated. Large quantities, like 50 lbs, require extreme distances to ensure safety, far beyond typical retail use scenarios.

What are the risks associated with unexploded ordnance (UXO)?

Unexploded ordnance, including landmines, remains extremely dangerous. Modern mines often have sensitive anti-vibration sensors that can detonate them upon disturbance, making any interaction potentially lethal.

What causes a shotgun barrel to 'banana' or splay open?

A shotgun barrel can 'banana' or splay open due to overpressure. This often happens when the barrel is partially submerged in water during firing, creating a deadly pressure mismatch.
