The poem is usually cited as an indictment of those who stand idly by while others commit grave evil or injustice, such as during the Holocaust. The story it tells is very similar to that of the famous statement First they came… that has been attributed to the anti-Nazi pastor Martin Niemöller as early as 1946.

How does the “coward’s hope” serve the criminal and the hangman? The theme of this poem is that if you don’t speak against crimes and horrific acts, it can grow into something uncontrollable.

Eyes of buckshot lead. Q. What was the Hangman doing when the speaker came through the silent town? Sing a song.

In the story “Hangman” the hangman kills people one by one and nobody steps in to support one another. Also in “The Diary of Anne Frank” the nazis abuse the jews and everyone who is not getting treated the way the jews are don’t attempt to help them.

He who serves me best

4 Describing the hangman’s eyes as “buckshot lead” creates a violent depiction of the hangman, even though at this point he has not enacted any violence at all. Attaching this phrase to his physical appearance creates a sense of foreboding in the reader and leads the reader to associate hunting with the hangman.

A poem written by Maurice Ogden and narrated by Herschel Bernardi provides the script for this short film. It is a parable in which the people of a town are hanged, one by one, by a mysterious stranger who erects a gallows in the center of the town.

How do the townspeople react after the sixth execution? This line is a metaphor explaining the intimidation that the gallows gave off. It seems that the author compares this to an animal in this line as well showing the fear that the narrator felt from looking at the gallow.

Modern shotgun shells typically consist of a plastic case, with the base covered in a thin brass plated steel covering. As noted previously, paper shells used to be common, and are still made, as are solid brass shells.

#2 steel shot is a good overall choice for large birds, medium-sized mammals and home defense. The less dense and environmentally safer steel is quite popular, with the only downside being the loss of penetration with steel due to lead being heavier.

The most lethal load for a shotgun is a slug. Preferably a rifled slug. In a 12 gauge it makes a 73 caliber hole, front to rear.

#3 steel shot is the perfect substitution for situations where lead is prohibited or where you want less penetration. For home defense, the steel option offers slightly less penetration than the lead round, making it safer than larger ammo types like 00 buck.

Recoil is also a major cause for concern when choosing a shotgun as a home defense weapon. Excessive recoil is going to negatively impact performance during training as well as during defensive situations, and as many of us have found out one way or another, shotguns can generate a ton of recoil.

Most experts agree that reduced-power 00 buck shells in 12 gauge are the best overall choice for home defense. Slugs – These are essentially oversized bullets designed to be fired from a shotgun. They offer the advantage of tremendous stopping power.

Birdshot is not effective for home defense because the small and light pellets won’t penetrate enough to stop a determined home invader.

Birdshot will cause a painful and messy looking wound, but it simply won’t reach the vital organs. With birdshot, the attacker may well be fatally wounded, but in the many minutes or hours it takes before the attacker succumbs to their wounds, they still can kill you or a loved one.

There is no shame in using a simple, no-frills 00 Buckshot load. 00 Buck has long been the king of home defense shotgun ammunition. Even the United States military and most police departments use simple 00 buckshot, although any buckshot from #4 to 000 will get the job done.

Buckshot remains the most commonly utilized police shotgun ammunition. The typical round of 2-3/4 inch 12 gauge buckshot contains 9 pellets approximately . 32 caliber in diameter. Today, all of the major manufacturers are turning out reduced recoil or tactical loads optimized for law enforcement.

Types of Shotgun Shell

• Bird Shot. Bird Shot is a shotgun shell filled with a large number of very small shot.
• Buckshot. Buckshot is a much heavier form of shotgun round and fires 6-10 larger diameter ball bearings (no larger than 9.1mm).
• Slug.

Many fish & game laws limit the number of shells a shotgun can hold when used for hunting. Typically that limit is 3 shells. For defensive use, many “police” or “riot” shotguns can hold from 5–8 shells depending on configuration.

SWAT Shotguns & Sniper Rifles SWAT shotgun is the 12 gauge Remington 870, that is widely used in hunting, sport shooting as well as defense. SWAT will typically use the shorter barrel shotguns. The Remington Model 700 is a sniper rifle used by our SWAT teams.

Glock Gen 5

Packaged with a threaded barrel, M-6 laser light, high-capacity magazines, and a sound/flash suppressor, the Glock 19 is reputable, strikes surgically, and is an effective pistol.

The answer is no, breaching rounds are almost exclusively slug rounds of approximately 1 ounce, they are no joke. They hurt to shoot, destroy doors and anything directly beyond the door. The round will penetrate the door, and typically multiple walls and or individuals behind the door.

there are currently no restrictions on breaching rounds that IM aware of. since most civilian shotgun ammunition can also take down a door; the only true difference would be safety. but always check to be sure. the difference between a legal and illegal shotshell is sometimes in the content.

Thermal breaching is one of the least common techniques and also one of the slowest. It involves the use of a cutting torch to cut through metal doors.

A shotgun is the recommended firearm for ballistic breaches. The objective is to destroy the latch, lock and possibly even the hinges with limited recoil, reduced ricochets and to avoid round penetration through the door.

Shotguns are not terribly suited to combat: shotgun shot has a maximum effective range of thirty yards, at which point velocity and predictable shot groupings quickly decline. As a result shotguns are ineffective during combat in rolling terrain, with sight lines out to four hundred yards or more.

The US military M1030 breaching round is a 12-gauge, 23⁄4-inch (70 mm) shell that uses a 40-gram (1.4 oz) projectile made of powdered steel, bound with wax.

A breacher barrel typically is a shotgun barrel with an attachment (sometimes integral) with a number of slots around it’s circumference and a serrated front edge. The idea is to place the serrated tip against a door hinge, lock (so it doesn’t slip) or other such structure in order to “shoot it off” (Breach) the door.
