Gun Myths

Gun Myths — The Master Index
Deck: All the bad advice you’ve heard, pinned to the wall and interrogated with data.

This is the war room. Every recurring myth—ammo, reliability, safety, legal, and Hollywood nonsense—lives here with a verdict. We measure, record, and re-test until the result stops moving. If a sacred cow survives, it earned it. If not, we serve steaks.

What You’ll Find

• Ammo Myths: +P, cook-offs, yaw/tumble, JHP vs FMJ.
  
  

• Reliability & Mechanics: FTF/FTF, extractor tension, spring weights, “revolvers never jam.”
  
  

• Safety Systems: Drop safety standards, “Glocks have no safeties,” light triggers fear vs reality.
  
  

• Tactics & Law (Education): “Warning shots,” “shoot to wound,” “mag dump ends fights.”
  
  

• Hollywood: Silencers, gas tanks, engine stoppers, shotgun spread.
  
  

• “.45 stops while 9mm pokes holes.”
  
  

• “Walls stop rounds.”
  
  

• “Trigger under 4.5 lb = jail time.”
  
  

• “Mag dump drops attackers.”
  
  

CTA: Hit any category, learn the truth, and run a setup that actually performs when it counts.
