Re: Oakland U in Michigan issues hockey pucks for self defense
Jeeez ... Hockey Pucks .. Seems to me that careful "Situational awareness drills" and safety training would be much more effective. If you hear gunshots, take cover, press alarm buttons .. Start moving pupils to safe rooms .. when there, lock the doors (Which should be strong enough to res...

H&K did just that with the P7 pistols in 9mm kurz and 9 mm Para They had to add some kind of "fluting" to the inside of the chamber to help the case to stick at the point of highest chamber pressure. (At least thats the explanation I seem to remember reading 20 yers ago) The H&K Ro...

Re: How do integral suppressors work?
Given the configuration of the original Scout barrel, you could probably turn down the front portion of the flutes, up to the short full profile section, then shorten the barrel a bit and thread at the unfluted section. Cutting holes in the front part would effectively shorten the barrel, giving you...
