3 PRINCIPLES OF GUN SAFETY (inserted by JPP) A firearm is a powerful thing: It can inflict considerable damage if misused or handled neglectfully. It endows the user with an aura of power. Making a safe firearm user requires changes in two main areas: changes in attitude toward firearms and their handling and use adoption and practice of safe handling methods & procedures MARCH, 2010 HANDGUN SAFETY AWARENESS 3

4 PRINCIPLES OF GUN SAFETY (inserted by JPP) The main principle in achieving SAFETY is to build up layers of defence against the one event that causes significant damage, injury or death. Each layer decreases the risk of accident and gives an increase in safety. Together, these layers maintain the level of safety desired. Take away one or more of the layers and the risk of an accident increases considerably - with the potential for only one more failure to bring on the unwanted event.

MARCH, 2010 HANDGUN SAFETY AWARENESS 20

21 TYPES OF HANDGUNS There are four main types of handguns commonly available to the sporting shooter in Australia: Revolvers Semi-automatic pistols Air pistols Single shot pistols MARCH, 2010 HANDGUN SAFETY AWARENESS 21

22 TYPES OF HANDGUNS REVOLVERS The majority of revolvers are six shot breech loading handguns. A number of centre fire revolvers are currently being manufactured with a seven or eight-shot capacity and some rimfire revolvers may hold up to nine rounds. The majority of revolvers are produced have: a solid frame a swing out type of cylinder having six chambers located around a central axis can be fired either double or single action. MARCH, 2010 HANDGUN SAFETY AWARENESS 22

23 TYPES OF HANDGUNS REVOLVERS (cont.) THE TWO ACTIONS..... Single-action: the hammer must be manually cocked then pulling the trigger releases of the hammer. Double action: pulling the trigger performs two functions movement of the hammer from the de-cocked position back to the cocked position (while rotating the cylinder), then release of the hammer. Some single action type revolvers do not have a swing out cylinder and are loaded/unloaded and checked through a loading gate located on the right hand side of the frame. MARCH, 2010 HANDGUN SAFETY AWARENESS 23

24 TYPES OF HANDGUNS SEMI-AUTOMATIC Most Semi-automatic pistols have the following features: mechanically locked recoil operated single or double action (or combination) fitted with some form of safety mechanism. Another form of semi-automatic pistol action is a blow-back - generally in.22 or.32 calibre with a fixed barrel and a slide that is pushed back by the gas pressure in the cartridge case after ignition of the propellant. All semi-automatic pistols reload after each shot until the source of ammunition is depleted. MARCH, 2010 HANDGUN SAFETY AWARENESS 24

25 TYPES OF HANDGUNS SEMI-AUTOMATIC MARCH, 2010 HANDGUN SAFETY AWARENESS 25

26 TYPES OF HANDGUNS SEMI-AUTOMATIC (cont.) The term semi-automatic pistol by accepted usage signifies a handgun in which squeezing the trigger when the chamber and magazine are loaded will: fire the cartridge in the chamber eject the fired cartridge case cock the firing mechanism ready for the next shot, and load a cartridge from the magazine into the chamber in position for firing Some gas operated semi-automatic and blowback pistols are available however the majority of semi-automatic pistols are recoil operated. Most double action pistols perform as single actions once they have been fired as the slide movement re-cocks the hammer. MARCH, 2010 HANDGUN SAFETY AWARENESS 26

27 TYPES OF HANDGUNS AIR PISTOLS A variety of designs - some are repeating pistols and look like either revolvers or semi-automatic pistols. The majority of air pistols are of a single shot design. The air pistol uses compressed air (or CO 2 gas) to drive the lead pellet (projectile). The compressed air may be released: from a storage cylinder into the barrel by means of a regulator activated by the trigger mechanism, or by means of a piston and spring mechanism that forcibly compresses the air at the moment the trigger is activated. Air pistols are designed to be shot in indoor venues and have a low velocity - around 100 to 200 metres per second. MARCH, 2010 HANDGUN SAFETY AWARENESS 27

29 TYPES OF HANDGUNS SINGLE SHOT PISTOLS Similar to air pistols, single shot pistols come in a variety of designs and calibres. Single shot pistols are noted for their accuracy and ease of use. They generally have few safety features and very light trigger weight. FREE PISTOL THOMPSON CONTENDER MARCH, 2010 HANDGUN SAFETY AWARENESS 29

30 HANDGUN CARTRIDGES Conventional cartridges (fixed ammunition) have existed for some 130 years. They are comprised of the following basic parts: a case - to contain everything, generally of brass propellant powder - to generate a large volume of gas a primer - serves to initiate the burning of the propellant powder a projectile - the bullet that emerges from the firearm Two main types of cartridge are RIMFIRE and CENTRE FIRE. This refers to the position of the priming charge (and therefore the impact point of the firing pin): RIMFIRE refers to those cartridges that have their priming compound in the rim around the base of the cartridge. CENTRE FIRE refers to those cartridges that have a primer seated in the centre of the base of the cartridge. MARCH, 2010 HANDGUN SAFETY AWARENESS 30

31 HANDGUN CARTRIDGES MARCH, 2010 HANDGUN SAFETY AWARENESS 31

32 BALLISTICS INTERNAL BALLISTICS - WHEN A CARTRIDGE IS FIRED the firing pin firmly dents the primer crushing the priming compound the priming compound detonates sending a flame through the flash hole (for a centre fire cartridge) into the propellant powder the propellant ignites and burns at a fast, even rate producing hot expanding gases the resultant pressure exerts a force on all components of the cartridge and eventually drives the projectile down the barrel. the propellant continues to burn producing more gas, driving the projectile into the rifling of the barrel imparting a stabilising spin, to stabilise the motion of the projectile (which aids in the accuracy) the reaction to the acceleration of the projectile produces the recoil felt by the shooter MARCH, 2010 HANDGUN SAFETY AWARENESS 32

33 BALLISTICS EXTERNAL BALLISTICS - BULLET PATH (TRAJECTORY) On leaving the barrel, a projectile is affected by gravity and air resistance: These two forces progressively slow the projectile down and cause the projectile to fall below its initial path toward the ground. As the target range increases the shooter has to aim higher to strike the target. The maximum effective range for a handgun is 200 metres when it is used in such matches as metallic silhouette. The following diagram relates to a.44 Magnum shooting a 240 grain (15.55 gram) projectile at 1400 feet per second (427 m/s) NOTE: Handgun projectiles can carry for up to 4 km and are therefore potentially dangerous out to considerable distances beyond normal target shooting ranges MARCH, 2010 HANDGUN SAFETY AWARENESS 33

35 CARTRIDGE RELOADING BASIC PRECAUTIONS When reloading the following basic rules should be followed: Have a full understanding of the reloading process before you commence. Always wear eye protection when reloading. Do not smoke whilst reloading. Store powder & primers out of the reach of children. Develop a set routine and do not rush. Do not use propellant powder unless its identity is known. Do not exceed recommended loads. Keep the reloading area neat and tidy, promptly clean up any spilled powder or primers. Pay attention to detail when setting scales, powder throwers and seating depths. MARCH, 2010 HANDGUN SAFETY AWARENESS 35

36 CARTRIDGE RELOADING BASIC PRECAUTIONS What can happen when you lose concentration while reloading: From THE S&W REVOLVER - Jerry Kunhausen MARCH, 2010 HANDGUN SAFETY AWARENESS 36

37 SAFETY AT HOME All firearms stored at your home should be stored in accord with current legislative requirements. Handguns - must be stored in an approved steel safe. Ammunition - must be stored in a separately-locked container. Children - must not have access to the handguns or to the safe at any time. Handguns should never be loaded with live ammunition at home. Every time a handgun is removed from the safe for any reason whatsoever, the handgun should be proved and made safe. At no time should firearms be handled whilst under the influence of alcohol or any other drug. MARCH, 2010 HANDGUN SAFETY AWARENESS 37

38 SAFETY TRAVELLING When transporting a handgun it should be stored in either a box or a pistol case When transporting a handgun you should travel directly to and from the range - avoid stopping off to do some shopping on the way. Should the car be stolen, your handguns will also be stolen. Whilst travelling the boot of your vehicle is the most secure area If you must stop en-route for fuel or refreshments ensure that the vehicle is locked and remains in sight at all times. MARCH, 2010 HANDGUN SAFETY AWARENESS 38

39 SAFETY ON THE RANGE Shooting on a SSAA range is conducted under the control of a Range Officer (RO). The CEASE FIRE command means that you are to stop firing and lower your handgun, render it safe and put it down in plain view on the firing bench. Other rules for shooting at a range are: Always wear both eye and ear protection Firearms should remain in a box or cover until about to shoot All Range Officer commands must be obeyed immediately muzzle The handgun must remain pointed down range at all times (muzzle consciousness) At all times whilst not engaging a target the finger must remain off the trigger. Always fire the handgun in a direction which will not let a round exit the range area or clear the backstop. MARCH, 2010 HANDGUN SAFETY AWARENESS 39

40 SAFETY ON THE RANGE (cont.) Be aware of the muzzle direction in relation to your feet and ground surface Whilst not on the firing line handguns should only be handled in designated safety areas. Load the handgun only whilst under the control of a Range Officer. Do not leave any handguns unattended at any time. If in doubt at any time as to what to do, holster the handgun or point it in a safe direction and seek RO assistance. When laying a firearm down the action must be open and magazine removed (if applicable) Whilst clearing malfunctions the muzzle must remain pointed down range in a safe direction. Never look down the barrel if checking for a stuck projectile. MARCH, 2010 HANDGUN SAFETY AWARENESS 40

41 SAFETY CLASSROOM SAFETY For reasons of safety, from this point in time until the commencement of the live fire practise, no student or instructor is to have in their possession any live ammunition whatsoever. All students and instructors must check their pockets, bags and any other potential repositories where ammunition may be stored. If any student has any live ammunition with them I must now ask them to declare the presence of this ammunition and produce it for safe keeping. MARCH, 2010 HANDGUN SAFETY AWARENESS 41
