Attachments to the Anchors

Now that you have made your choice on an appropriate anchor, how do you attach to it? ATAC Staff Member, Glenn Justice, show you the different types of attachments points:

Transom

Transom anchor attachments are a large object going through a small hole.

Wedges

The Wedges are those attachments that have an object wedged into a crack or between two anchors.  (Note, that wedges are the least reliable type of attachment)  There are several types and

ATAC TV Rappelling: Intro to Anchors

Knowing and understanding what an acceptable anchor is and the different types of anchors, is a good start to setting up a safe and reliable rappel system.  Glenn Justice talks about Anchors used in Rappelling. Using 3 different types of anchor systems, BFT, BFR, and Structural.

  • BFT are those trees that are 6inches in diameter, green and growing with no erosion at the roots.
  • BFR are those rocks that are the size of a small car.
  • Structural are the man made buildings that are large and non movable.

Handgun Cycle of Operation

Saturday, May 15th, 2010

Handgun Cycle of Operation

ATAC TV Firearms Channels has a
video that goes along and explains the cycle of operation in greater
detail on www.AtacTv.com. 
So check them both out of the ATAC’s
Web TV
channel and ATAC TV’s Firearm Blog.
 
The below listed is the order of a
semi-automatic handguns operation with a loaded magazine and an empty
chamber with the slide forward.
  • Feeding a Cartridge is when the magazine spring pushes the
    follower and places a cartridge in alignment with the slide.  When the
    slide is moved back by the support hand the feeding cycle begins.
  • Chambering a Cartridge is
    when the slide is released forward pushing the cartridge out of the feed
    lips of the magazine and onto the feed ramp. The cartridge is
    continuously pushed forward by the action of the slide into the chamber.
  • Barrel Locking takes place
    when the slide moves forward pushing the barrel upward and the barrel
    vertical lugs slide into the receiving vertical breech-face of the
    slide.
  • Firing takes place when the
    trigger is pressed, releasing the dis-connector/sear, driving the firing
    pin forward.  Once the primer is struck by the firing pin and
    detonated, the primer ignites the powder.  The gases expand forcing the
    bullet out of the case and the barrel and the breech-face remain locked
    to the rim of the case as the bullet travels down the barrel.
  • Unlocking is when the bullet
    departs the barrel the gas pressure drops inside the barrel unlocking
    the lugs between the barrel and the breech-face.  The force and equal
    energy of the departing bullet with their relationship to the recoil
    spring and greater weight of the slide causes the slide to move back and
    begin its cycle of extracting.
  • Extracting is removing a
    fired case out of the chamber.  Starting with the slide moving back, the
    breech opens while the barrel drops down into the lugs of the frame. 
    The case rim is retained against the breech-face by the extractor hook.
    The recoiling movement of the slide traveling towards the rear extracts
    the fired case out of the chamber. 
  • Ejecting is pushing the fired
    case or live cartridge out of the ejection port.  As the slide recoils
    and travels backwards the left side of the case is hit by the ejector
    and pushed up and off the extractor hook ejecting the case out of the
    ejection port. 
  • Reconnecting/Cocking
    take place when the slide  (pushes the hammer back on the 1911,
    H&K, Beretta) compresses the recoil spring placing the sear in
    position for the continuation of the semi-auto action to be completed.
  • Feeding is when a cartridge
    is moved up the feed ramp.
  • Chambering is chambering a
    cartridge out of the magazine.
  • Locking is a marriage between
    the frame and the slide.
  • Firing takes
    place when a primer is detonated to ignite the powder to propel the
    bullet out of the weapon.
  • Unlocking takes places when
    the slide cycles “racks” on the rails of the frame.
  • Disconnecting is when the
    hammer is “cocked” with the trigger trapped.
  • Extracting is
    removing a fired case or live cartridge out of the chamber.
  • Ejecting is pushing the fired
    case or live cartridge around the ejector to be ejected.
  • Cocking is when the underside
    of the slide in its rearward travel path cocks the hammer.


 

Now the
cycle of operation is complete and the weapon is ready to repeat the
cycle.  The better you understand you pistols cycle the better off you
will be.
