Before RK Campbells article on Coated Lead Bullets I honestly had never heard not to use lead bullets in Glocks. Glocks armors manual states "Use of non-factory loaded ammunition or ammunition loaded with non-jacketed (lead) bullets will void the warranty." (ARMORER'S MANUAL, © Glock 2009, page 82) Upon further research I found that Glock barrels use the polygonal rifling which is designed to optimize performance for jacketed bullets with inconsistencies. From what I understand if you look down a Glock barrel its in the shape of a hexagon. The polygonal rifling is not your typical rifling there are no grooves

    Jared Diamond, uses figurehead Yali, a New Guinean politician, to shape his book, Guns, Germs, and Steel. Yali asks an essential question in which Jared Diamond formulates his work around. “Why is it that you white people developed so much cargo and brought it to New Guinea, but we black people had little cargo of our own?” (14). Even though Yali’s question was only relating the differences between the New Guinean and European lifestyles and success, Jared Diamond was able to broaden Yali’s question to examine why the Europeans became so specialized, powerful, and wealthy while other peoples did not. To find the answer to Yali’s questions, Diamond began the book by mapping out the early migrations of people from Africa to all of the other continents, and from there he chose specific societies to focus on (24).…

    Uneven Ground From the perspective of a teen in a world filled with injustice and constant newsflashes about racists and movements for equality, I’m trained to see things in tunnel vision. I’m trained to view my culture as the very “developed” and “civilized” United States as superior to other cultures despite its flaws. I’m trained to look down upon Middle Eastern countries as they are all “terrorists”. When I turn on the television I hear talk about this white policeman, that black policeman. However, at the exact same time, if any of these opinions were explicitly stated out loud, I would surely be called a racist, a Trump.…

    Jared Diamond, in Chapter 19 of the novel Guns, Germs, and Steel, proposes that the black Bantu ethnic group was able to exert dominance over the other four cultural groups in Africa in areas that food production was viable because the Bantu’s sedentary lifestyle was greatly advantaged compared to hunter-gatherers living in the same area. Diamond supports his claims by illustrating the major societal and organizational difference between the Bantu and hunter-gatherer groups and pointing to the methods by which the Bantu expansion was carried out. The author’s purpose is to show what environmental factors led to certain peoples asserting dominance over others in order to support his theory about geographic determinism and refute racist explanations about the fates of human societies. The author writes in a logical scientific tone for an educated and intellectually honest audience. The factors all come together to allow Diamond to create a convincing argument about the factors that led to the Bantu expansion in Africa.…
