Re: Things you thought were common knowledge, but aren't?

[(Anonymous)]

A friend of mine wrote a decent mini-primer on handguns for fic writers: http://liviapenn.dreamwidth.org/503406.html

In the comments there, someone linked to this, which is slightly more thorough: http://chn-breathmint.livejournal.com/482045.html

Hope that's helpful!

While the primers are good, some of the comments are bullshit, so readers be warned.

I'm a pinner nerd and I've never struggled to pull a slide back in my entire life. I don't know if she's just doing it wrong, or on the verge of death, but it's really not difficult at all, even for - gasp - a woman. Seriously. Small children load, cock, and fire these weapons by accident all the time. If your grip strength is comparable to a three year old you can pull this off. Scully would absolutely have been able to use the firearm she had in the show with no problems unless she was an invalid; also, the poster appears not to know that organizations like the FBI assign firearms to agents. You don't bring your own like a packed lunch.

Also... "clip". For real.
