I'm so thankful you're only joking.


The Glock is also something I have a problem with, it's got too many problems with safety issues.

Like the issue of the holster-firing with LEOs', and that there is no reliable safety to stop the travel of the firing pin.

The Spring. XD has a bit of improvement, but still that same safety flaw.

Beretta however, has excellent safety features with their SA/DA and rolling block drive pin.

But I'm not all that familiar with the HK .45 (other than that it's an expensive piece here in the states). What are the safety features or flaws that you may have concerns with?

Your suppose to aim the weapon downwards at all times. Bullets that go up, must come down. i remember when I was a kid, I was at a barbecue with my parents and a few other kids. They were mostly friends of my older sister. We were all sitting at the table outside just getting started to dish up our plates. Out of nowhere a little girl at the end of the table had an arrow through her head from the top and out her lower jaw and stuck into the table. She was killed instantly. My parents swooped me up and ran me into the house and the rescue squad came and pronounce her dead at the scene. Turned out that some stupid kid a few doors down was launching arrows up at the sky trying to hit flying birds with them. The boy of course didn't get maximum punishment that an adult would have and went off to a junvenille prison system. That was over 25 years ago so the punishments were a bit less severe for accidental deaths. We moved out of that area by that next summer.

Well ,arrows have a lot more mass than bullets and therefore once the velocity is spent a bullet falling out of the sky is far less likely to produce a serious injury, but on the whole you are correct. It's a stupid and dangerous thing to do.

Up down, or to the side, any direction the muzzle is pointing must be ina safe direction. Ie. away from other ppl.

Sad to hear that the little girl went out like that.

Not only that, but there are some strange idiots, too. There's even strangely idiotic people.
