fire
Fire is the rapid oxidation of a material in the exothermic chemical process of combustion, releasing heat, light, and various reaction products. Slower oxidative processes like rusting or digestion are not included by this definition.
Fire is hot because conversion of the weak double bond in molecular oxygen, O2, to the stronger bonds in the combustion products carbon dioxide and water releases energy (418 kJ per 32 g of O2); the bond energies of the fuel play only a minor role here. At a certain point in the combustion reaction, called the ignition point, flames are produced. The flame is the visible portion of the fire. Flames consist primarily of carbon dioxide, water vapor, oxygen and nitrogen. If hot enough, the gases may become ionized to produce plasma. Depending on the substances alight, and any impurities outside, the color of the flame and the fire's intensity will be different.
Fire in its most common form can result in conflagration, which has the potential to cause physical damage through burning. Fire is an important process that affects ecological systems around the globe. The positive effects of fire include stimulating growth and maintaining various ecological systems.
The negative effects of fire include hazard to life and property, atmospheric pollution, and water contamination. If fire removes protective vegetation, heavy rainfall may lead to an increase in soil erosion by water. Also, when vegetation is burned, the nitrogen it contains is released into the atmosphere, unlike elements such as potassium and phosphorus which remain in the ash and are quickly recycled into the soil. This loss of nitrogen caused by a fire produces a long-term reduction in the fertility of the soil, which only slowly recovers as nitrogen is "fixed" from the atmosphere by lightning and by leguminous plants such as clover.
Fire has been used by humans in rituals, in agriculture for clearing land, for cooking, generating heat and light, for signaling, propulsion purposes, smelting, forging, incineration of waste, cremation, and as a weapon or mode of destruction.
Not the guns fault, but it was responsible. Used to shoot revolvers double action for practice for years before getting my first auto loader. A Kimber from their custom shop many years ago. But I was getting fails to fire when shooting fast. Turned out I was trying shoot faster than the slide...
A gunman opened fire at Gable House bowling alley in Torrance, California early Saturday morning with multiple victims at the premises and people have been asked to stay away.

I decided last week with my tiny bit of free time to take out all my handguns and test fire them at 15 yards with 50 rounds each just to see which one was "more accurate" (by more accurate i mean which one I shot better in an indoor range, temperature controlled and literally 0 stress or...

Saw this on the innanet:
So I decided to make my own. It was easier than I thought.
I used colored wax on one so the contrast would show.
I sacrificed the first one I made. My son used flint and steel to light it. It burned strongly for 14 minutes. I’m going to put a few in a...
For Sale is new in box Left Hand Slide Fire Bumpstock, model SSAR-15. Somebody with a little fabrication skill could probably convert this to right hand use but it would take a little work. I am asking $100, cash only payment. Buyer will have to meet me in Tigard, Tualatin or Wilsonville area...
Yikes. Things are bad down that way: Dead in Cars and Homes: Northern California Fire Toll at 42

Cops took this off a 19 year old shoplifter at the JC Penney's.
What the heck is it? Raven, Cobra, Jennings or Jimenez?
Possibly a Jimenez Bryco 32acp held together with scotch tape.
Scenario (asking for a friend): Former Army with mental health disability of say 70% PTSD. Has several semi auto weapons; AK's, AR's, hand guns, etc., in his name. With what happened in SoCal, he may be a lil nervous about attracting attention because the amount of firepower in possession. He...
