Concealed Carry In MY ASW27
If you fire an AK-47 and a .22 pistol simultaneously and horizontally,
which round will hit the ground first?* There's quite a difference in velocity between those two.* (A bored engineer/glider pilot here.) On 4/2/2020 4:45 PM, wrote: This started with an AK47 and bored engineer/glider pilots. Seems like we a missing a great opportunity. What's L/D for an AK47 round? With the changing velocity on the way to target, I'm not sure what it means. Something to do with energy used per foot of range. -- Dan, 5J |

I don’t carry in my glider. But it’s a thought. I prefer the plastic fantastic Glock. It’s really easy to train family members on. If it was just me I would probably carry a custom 1911. I've been trying to figure out how I'd carry a G20 (10mm) on my person while flying. I live in bear country, and a land-out in the woods could have some extra danger. I thought about using a Hill People Gear kit bag, but it is positioned in just the wrong place where it blocks access to the D-ring of the rip chord of my parachute. A drop leg holster would interfere with access to the elevator trim. And appendix carry would crunch the nuts. I may have to consider an ankle holster, but a G20 doesn't fit real well down there either. Thoughts? Bears are an extreme problem. If landing out here in Nevada, I'd be happier with any weapon with me, even a 22. |

Dan, 5J s=ut +½ g t^2 Both land simultaneously at 0.56 +/- 0.01 secs. This assumes both guns are fired at shoulder height by the same guy and were aimed accurately horizontal. Under these conditions 'u' is zero so time of flight is just free-fall time. I've just timed this using a Seiko stopwatch while dropping the solid alloy nosecone off a NATO ground attack practise rocket found some years ago on the Helcheren target range in Belgium. Doing the experiment was quicker than finding a measuring tape, measuring my shoulder height and then calculating. Besides, it was more fun that way. -- Martin | martin at Gregorie | gregorie dot org |

What a surprise, just today my son brought me a great gift to fight off the flaming liberals at the gliderport. It is a Bulgarian AK47 with 2000 rounds of ammunition. Thank god that I raised this kid correctly, educated him and he achieved the status of a Structural Engineer, PE. He advised me to be careful of the soft trigger, and he told me to take it with me at all times to fend off all the flaming liberals even at the gliderport. I told him not to worry, I carry two pistols in the 27 and Eileen has one in the 24. Nothing like a family of glider pilots being well prepared for the Flaming Liberals. I was hoping to make plans to fly around Lake Okeechobee again this week, but the weather is not in my favor. I have never smelt anything better than Hoppy,s # 9 gun oil or flew better that a ASW. Bob Not sure about the bears in Eastern Canada, but beware of the deer! heard the one about the deer that " eats shoots and leaves"? JMF |

Bob Many years ago in my first US contest, newly arrived from the UK, untutored in US geography and politics, we were flying a free distance out of Adrian, forecast as usual to be a poor day. Seemed pretty good to me and I blundered on, heading down wind, staying high till the thermals weakened and I was out of map. Following a river in a deep valley( probably the Ohio ) till I was down to 1500 ft and over an unknown small town, forest ahead, I elected to land on a school playing field; quickly small crowd gathered, asked the usual questions. I volunteered that I could have gone ten miles further but could see no fields ahead. Ah, said one man " good thing you didn't, over there is West Virginia and in them hills the locals figure a plane must belong to the Revenuers and they'd 'a strung you up" |

Dan, 5J s=ut +½ g t^2 Both land simultaneously at 0.56 +/- 0.01 secs. Is that only true in a vacuum? Or from a short height. Heavier objects fall faster in the real world. More important question if you had mounted firearms on a glider how much would the glide angle be reduced by recoil? And does the effect change at different speeds? |
