Staying home for #Covid_19 might suck, but look at the bright side, no mass shootings!

Hitting someone in the HELMET doesn't knock them out. That's kinda what helmets DO.

Tasers and stun guns do not knock you out. They make your muscles clench. And then you comply or have your muscles painfully disabled. You don't loose consciousness.

The popular handgun line by Glock doesn't have an external hammer or active safety. It doesn't click. You can't stop it from firing by blocking the hammer (with ants, say). It has an internal striker.

Modern firearms will not go off when dropped. Well, unless it's the new sidearm of the U.S. military, the Sig p330. Don't drop those!

@PatrickRothfuss You, me and Joss.

@thomaskaine5 Honestly, what's the point? The senate Republicans are corrupt.

Carrying a lot of guns is stupid. Shooting two guns at once is stupid. If you want to show someone being a badass, show them using a two hand grip, aiming down the sights, using cover & carrying extra mags. You kno, the stuff that is EFFECTIVE in a fire fight.

Spaceships don't stop moving when they run out of fuel. Without air resistance or gravity, a ship will continue on it's last heading at it's last velocity. Normally, ships require breaking thrust when at their destination to slow down so they don't fly right by it.

@wrknclassknight @MauraAlwyen You're right, those two do NOT look cool. Heh

Hand grenades make a small black puff of smoke AND dangerous shrapnel, not giant red fireballs. Dynamite too. Basically, if you're seeing a giant fireball, that's a GASOLINE explosion.

In the ep #RixtyMinutes of #RickAndMorty Summer tries and fails to use the Interdimensional Goggles bc in MOST realities Beth gets the abortion. But there are still ENDLESS Morties!?! Summer is the elder sibling. No SumSum, no Mortman. #PlotHole

When people pull their parachute they don't fly upwards, they just suddenly fall slower COMPARED to the camera man who is still in free fall. If parachutes flew UP the space program would be SO MUCH cheaper.

Getting stabbed in the head doesn't kill you instantly or even at all. Now getting stabbed in the back of the neck, in between the vertebrae, on the other hand, works like a charm.

When a car drives off a ledge, it does NOT launch UP into the air. It falls immediately downward. Only cars with a ramp or that are CGI go up when driven off of things. Unless they are Chittychittybangbang.

"Silencers" on guns don't make them SILENT. Hell, most don't make them safe to fire without hearing protection. EVERYONE in a room notices if a silenced (suppressed) firearm goes off, just like if a huge frigging balloon popped.

People in armor don't instantly die if you slash them IN THE ARMOR. That actually does next to nothing to them. And, even IF you got flesh THRU armor, (unlikely) they don't just fall over dead! It takes AWHILE to bleed out, & with adrenaline pumping...no. Just, no.

Getting shot doesn't throw you across the room. If so, firing a gun would throw you EQUALLY across the room. Newton had a thing about it, something about a robot protecting itself as long as it protects humans first or something.

Never remove the bullet in the field! Stop the bleeding, with cloth and pressure. Digging into someone's wound is only going to make them bleed out faster. Surgeons in a controlled, sterile environment take out the bullet latter.

The vaccuum of space does not suck people thru holes in spaceships. Vaccuum doesn't suck at all. Pressure blows. So if debris or a person plugged the hole, the pressure would normalize.
