    Interesting, are there any facts, eg what happened at accidents with batteries, tests by California, bullet penetration on an EV, etc?

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

    And, you've got like five seconds to egress the area before it goes critical. In an enclosed area like a parking garage, the fire is strong enough to suck the air out the surrounding area. If you don't burn you'll suffocate. This from recent fire fighting experiments in Scotland.

    or 3 lefties and 1 righty! Of course this is likely not the case and I'm just being silly, but we have seen plenty of reflected/mirrored pictures showing left-handed bolt action rifles around here. If I recall right, one of them was even a Life magazine cover that launched a nice discussion as to whether such things were ever made.

    The Cyber Truck is supposed to be proofed against handgun calibers and 00 buck but porn star Dante Colle was able to (ahem) "penetrate" his Cyber Truck.
