Re: Pilot's gun discharges on US Airways flight

Yep. Frangible. Thats what I was thinking. Dont really recall where I heard they were carrying, but it may very well have been in a magazine or catalog. One thing is sure, I saw the picture, and it didnt do what it was supposed to do if they were frangible. It was a good size hole. Id hate to have to explain that one.

Re: Pilot's gun discharges on US Airways flight

I saw the picture on the news of the exit wound on the front of the aircraft. I thought they were supposed to be using the bullets that are designed to come apart. I think they are called AFR or truncated metal. They essentially trun to powder when they hit something and were supposed to be designed to not penetrate the skin of the planes.
