Willaim Gibson ( @GreatDismal ) does not like Tacti-Cool pistols!
Willaim Gibson, famous sci-fi author and journalist, tweeted that the Zimmerman Arms .22 Pistol I blogged about is "for dorks in armored golf cart".
(the link he posted revolves to this blog post)
Mr Gibson: I think if you spent 20 minutes at a range with a .22 pistol and 50 round magazine, you would change your mind! A 50 round magazine is 40 rounds more fun than a 10 round magazine 
I wonder what Stephen Hunter's take on Tacti-Awesome pistols is ...
Breast Implants Stop Bullet
NBC LA reports ...
Carranza was just a few feet away. She survived a gunshot to the chest, but the the bullet left a scar and deflated the implant.
"She's just one lucky woman," Dr. Ashkan Ghavami told the LA Times. "I saw the CT scan. The bullet fragments were millimeters from her heart and her vital organs. Had she not had the implant, she might not be alive today."
Something does not seem right about this story. I wonder if she hit by just a fragment. I would imagine that the hydrostatic shock from a bullet ripping through a gel implant would have a devastating impact on the surrounding tissue.
