  2. Muzzle rise - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muzzle_rise

    Illustration of forces in muzzle rise. Projectile and propellant gases act on barrel along barrel centerline A. Forces are resisted by shooter contact with gun at grips and stock B. Height difference between barrel centerline and average point of contact is height C. Forces A and B operating over moment arm / height C create torque or moment D, which rotates the firearm's muzzle up as ...

  3. Sham rage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sham_rage

    Most of the experiments done on animals have been done on cats, dogs and rats. The actual symptoms of sham rage are normal anger and defense reactions in animals. It becomes sham rage only when this rage reaction is triggered by unthreatening stimuli. A study by Bard (1934) showed that the removal of the neocortex in cats and dogs produced sham ...

  4. Recoil - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recoil

    For instance, muzzle brakes primarily works by diverting some of the gas ejecta towards the sides, increasing the lateral blast intensity (hence louder to the sides) but reducing the thrust from the forward-projection (thus less recoil). Similarly, recoil compensators divert the gas ejecta mostly upwards to counteract the muzzle rise.

  7. Muzzle brake - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muzzle_brake

    A muzzle brake or recoil compensator is a device connected to, or a feature integral (ported barrel) to the construction of, the muzzle or barrel of a firearm or cannon that is intended to redirect a portion of propellant gases to counter recoil and unwanted muzzle rise. [1] Barrels with an integral muzzle brake are often said to be ported.

  8. Breed-specific legislation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Breed-specific_legislation

    Pit bull–type dog wearing a muzzle. In law, breed-specific legislation (BSL) is a type of law that prohibits or restricts particular breeds or types of dog. [1] Such laws range from outright bans on the possession of these dogs, to restrictions and conditions on ownership, and often establishes a legal presumption that such dogs are dangerous or vicious to prevent dog attacks.

  9. Bullpup - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bullpup

    A bullpup firearm is one with its firing grip located in front of the breech of the weapon, instead of behind it. [1] This creates a weapon with a shorter overall length for a given barrel length, and one that is often lighter, more compact, concealable, and more maneuverable than a conventionally configured firearm.
