A question for gun experts.

I know nothing about guns ( as I think I've proven in another thread) 
But was wondering tonight .......
In Camera lenses you can have stabilisation, to counter any little shake
In the photographers hand. So ( here comes my stupid question ) is there
Anything like that, a stabilised barrel ? To counter the shake of a soldier's
Hand. Or have I just invented a new Q toy.)

As I said, know nothing about them, but if you don't ask you'll never know.
HI TP im in your camp I don't know sod all about guns except they go bang
famous Tommy gun ,Thompson 45 cal sub-machine gun. I think ,and im sure our very own gun expert ASP9MM will put me
right
Ideas are not for the real world as another I had was ......
A rifle with a built in GPS targeting system, which ca n communicate with its
Bullets via WiFi, to correct for " windage" etc. To direct the bullet on target.
Hey, he has asked the real experts and not morons.....
TP let me tell you that it's a brilliant idea and the first step to a Nikon PPK.
Hope that one projectile finds its way to ASP9mm s balls.

It may not work but it'll be expensive.
As Sometimes they shoot through the windscreen of a car to kill
Someone ? I know this might be movie science, just wondering.
Possibly to avoid flying glass at close range as a bullet of course has much more velocity going through a window than does the butt of a gun or some other implement wielded by a human hand.
Whom ever was outside that you were about to start shooting.
( as I said, thought about it last night )
Well, it was just an educated guess really, as I am far from being an expert on guns or ballistics.
I suppose the breaking of a window would give a warning, alternatively I suppose that one could just open the window as quietly as possible...

Especially the villain. Well you have to give the hero a chance, don't you?!
A great twist on this type of thing in films is provided by Scaramanga the film version of TMWTGG where we the audience think that he is about to shoot Bond unmolested but instead shoots energy expert Gibson as he emerges from the Bottoms Up club.

I'd have voted for him .
He certainly had more teeth than Tony Blair!
someone who knows something about them ( Or indeed most subjects) {[] and if you
don't ask, you'll never know.
Yes, thank you indeed, Stagg. It's amazing the expertise we have here on AJB - there's always a member who knows the answer. This is a forum to be rightly proud of! -{
This has to go in my, I thought of it too late pile, along with luminous
Tattoo ink, to show up under UV light etc. Sadly it already exists
I'm never going to make my millions if this keeps up !
( amazing stuff, by the way Stagg -{ )
That's not quite true. Shooting through glass deforms the bullet and can take it of its natural trajectory to a lesser or higher degree depending on the angle it is fired at.
It also depends on the round fired. Hollow points are designed to deform and flatten in contact with flesh, so going through glass first would really effect the round and cause it to dump energy and lose its impact on the secondary mass.
They have been touting a new riflescope that is tied to a small computer and it is supposed to make everyone a deadly shot at unbelievable ranges,,,however, like I said, $3000.00 to $8000.00 a pop and they have never been battle tested.
I'm sure that in the near future these devices will be cheaper. They are illegal for hunting in every state in the USA because they use a laser and this "casts a light on the game.", which is illegal.

Don't worry, stag.
Asp9mm and me are the resident gun experts, so if you have any related questions, ask me first and Asp9mm for a second opinion

If you really think about it; this whole shooting through the windows thing in movies is still done in the same way it was done in the first black and white cowboy movies...

If you stick your finger in the barrel of a gun as it's fired, will it will blow up ?
True or old wives tale ?

that to the world. Deny it my great talent. :v
The only thing you are expert in, is idiocy. And I have to give it to you, you excel. You are a superb idiot.
