Text of the page (random words):
is that there was virtually no further development on this technology for three centuries after they were first introduced when matthew perry showed up in the gulf of tokyo in 1853 demanding that the japanese open its ports the few small arms the japanese possessed at the time were the same matchlock arquebuses used in the 16th century europe and the us in the mean time had seen the rise and fall of flintlock muskets and was on the cusp of transitioning from percussion caps to metallic cartridges the 22lr was invented in 1855 or so why did japan get left behind there are three primary reasons that i m aware of and they have to do with the tokugawa shogunate which took power in 1603 unifying the country and ending decades of civil war firstly the tokugawa shogunate fearing rebellion imposed heavy restrictions on the manufacturing of firearms and gun powder secondly trade with foreign countries continued to be banned so new technologies out of europe rarely entered japan and lastly under the tokugawa shogunate japan saw a period of peace lasting over 250 years and feudal lords saw little reason to invest resources in weapons development there also may have been a couple of other factors that are cultural the japanese were and still are a conservative people and there was relatively little scientific or technological advancement during those 250 years in general it is also possible that the ruling class samurai saw firearms as a necessary evil at a time of war but otherwise a threat to their status as it allowed low ranking and relatively untrained foot soldiers who might even be lowly peasants during times of peace to mow down high ranking samurai mounted on horseback from afar this all changed when perry showed up his visit acted as a catalyst for internal shifts in political thought that placed greater emphasis on the emperor ultimately leading to a civil war between those loyal to the emperor who decided to take political power away from the shogunate and those who were loyal to the shogunate overturning the long standing embargo both sides rapidly imported the latest in weaponry from europe and while often outnumbered the imperial forces lead a successful coup ousting the shogunate in 1858 thereby ending a reign lasting 264 years practically over night also abolished was the caste system ending the era of sword wearing samurai replacing the sword as the primary weapon was of course the modern firearm image top mounted samurai with a shortened arquebus or essentially a carbine of the day check out other photos here posted in guns 4 comments shooting journal nov 21 22 2009 november 23 2009 by ryochiji so now that i m back from the woods i can go to the range i never got around to setting up a range on my property though i did spot a perfect spot for a 100yd range and actually focus on shooting again as part of that i m going to try and start a shooting journal so that i can record and share some findings and my progress note that i will primarily be shooting my ar 15 since my goal is to advance my nra classification in the highpower service rifle category my goal is to make master 95 in 2010 which is a bit a stretch but attainable since i was shooting expert 89 earlier this year in unregistered matches at my club without a shooting coat nov 21 range los altos gun club 100yd range conditions clear sunny chilly 40 50f yesterday was the first time i got to shoot with the creedmoore shooting coat i bought this summer and boy what a difference that makes i can t believe i ve been shooting for close to 3 years without it i shot 70 rounds total 20 off hand standing 30 sitting rapid 20 slow prone on reduced highpower targets i focused mostly on finding comfortable positions with the jacket for off hand finding a comfortable position wasn t hard at all i found that if i rest the sled which has the same profile as a 20 round magazine on my left palm i can then rest my left elbow on my hip really comfortably and the non slip padding on the coat helps a ton too i also found that i can rest the rifle butt much higher up on my shoulder than i can when i m shooing without a coat and i can also tuck my right elbow in for a firmer grip when shooting without a coat i had to place the stock much lower on my shoulder and stick my elbow out to get the stock firmly square against my shoulder so the higher placement also allows me to keep my head straighter which is generally good once i felt reasonably comfortable i started off spending an entire firing session usually about 15 minutes dry firing i focused on my npoa natural point of aim doing the whole exercise of closing my eyes simulating recoil settling down then opening my eyes to see where my rifle was pointed i d then shift my feet slightly until i settled down with the sights on target it took a while because my npoa seemed to shift from time to time after 15 minutes of dry firing i moved on to live fire by this point my position was so comfortable that my front sight post generally stayed in the black which was not something i d been able to do before without a coat since my position was stable i was then able to focus on the other fundamentals like breathing i generally take two or three deep breaths exhale half way then try to make a shot i then have 6 9 seconds before oxygen depravation begins to have an adverse effect the hard part is to remember that i don t have to take a shot especially in slow fire if i don t break the shot within that narrow timeframe it s much better to take a couple of breaths and try again than to rush a shot i m also working on trigger control and disciplining myself to be patient and wait for a good shot arguably this sport is more about not taking bad shots than it is about making good shots after my first string of 10 shots i couldn t believe what i saw through my scope i d scored a 93 beating my previous record of 88 and i hadn t even shot my ar since april my second string was even better at 95 with 7 of the 10 shots in the 10 ring in fact i lost a couple of shots to the 8 ring because i couldn t believe i was getting so many into the 10 ring since i wanted to get some shooting in in all 3 positions i moved on to sitting although my sitting scores have been decent 90 97 in the last several matches i shot late last year and early this year i ve had trouble finding a stable position i can t seem to decide between placing my left elbow in front of my knee on top or somewhere in between with the coat on i found a position that just felt comfortable comfortable is generally good because it means there aren t any weird forces at play i shot a few strings but i mistakenly used reduced 300 yard targets again haven t shot since april p so i don t know what scores they would ve been but judging by the fact that all the shots were in the black it would ve been up in the 90s in general though my groups seemed much smaller than when shooting without a coat i finished with a couple of strings one of 7 shots another of 13 in slow prone it actually took me a while to find a comfortable position especially finding a good place for my left hand i ve heard it said that your left hand supporting hand should go as far forward as your sling allows but that simply doesn t work for me the muzzle ends up being waaaay too low unfortunately that means i have to pull my left hand in closer and it s not as well supported as it would be if it were up against the sling swivel i guess that s why match rifles have adjustable hand stops but i shoot service rifle so i have to do the best with what i ve got in any case after some shuffling around i found a reasonably comfortable position and squeezed off some rounds the range was closing so i didn t get much time to actually work on things my group was ok though nothing special nov 22 range los altos gun club 100yd range conditions foggy then cloudy then sunny chilly 40 50f since i got to the range kind of late i only did 3 strings of 10 off hand i worked on the fundamentals again but made a little progress on diagnosing my inconsistent npoa issues as it turns out i need to do some leg work the inconsistencies i was seeing basically where my npoa would appear to shift even though my feet haven t moved were caused by my knees and whether they were slightly bent or locked locking my knees seem to be more stable but it s only comfortable to do so if my feet are oriented just so in relation to my body and in the process of shuffling my feet to adjust my npoa they may or may not settle in an orientation where locking my knees is possible or comfortable it seems more often than not that having my knees slightly bent is more comfortable but i just have to remember that and not lock it the general remedy seems to be to just check my npoa regularly and remember what state my legs were in when i found my npoa i also noticed that when it was foggy and cloudy i was shooting high i think this is because i use a six o clock hold with a line of white basically my front sight post is under the black with a little bit of white showing in between i generally like this because with a true six o clock hold where the front site post touches the black i have a hard time judging whether they are just touching or the post is slightly in to the black leaving a line of white allows me to judge more precisely how close or far my front sight post is from the black unfortunately this also makes my hold more susceptible to variations due to lighting conditions when it s sunny that line of white will appear brighter and thicker than when it s foggy or dark i don t remember my scores from today but they weren t anything too special the first two strings were solidly in the 90s i think one was 95 the other slightly lower but then on the 4th shot of the 3rd string i flinched i think i was thinking too much and for whatever reason i flinched and the shot went off the paper but what was more significant to me was that i managed to not let that affect me and put the subsequent 6 shots all in the 9 and 10 rings of course if i were shooting in an actual match i might not have recovered from that bad shot quite as well but it s good to get practice in screwing up too posted in guns shooting journal leave a comment protecting your guns from rust october 13 2009 by ryochiji accurateshooter has an article about a couple of ways to protect your guns from rust for instance when storing them away for the winter i had to put all my guns into storage for a few months earlier this year and although i live in a relatively dry climate california i didn t want to take any chances especially since i wasn t sure i d get them back out before the wetter seasons personally i m too lazy busy to coat every single metal component on every single one of my guns with some protectant but i m too cheap to buy nice gun socks for them all so i ended up getting zerust gun bags from creedmoor at 4 a bag they seemed to strike the right cost performance point although they are not perfect either my main complaint with these bags is their size they were too short for my swedish mauser i ended up using two bags and too narrow for my ar 15 i left the butt stock sticking out nonetheless if you re lazy and cheap like me they may be an acceptable solution posted in guns tagged

calguns net to contact the governor urging defeat of ab 962 and sb 585 the cow palace gun show ban please write the gov schwarzenegger and urge him to veto this bill he s our last chance to avoid another huge insult to our second amendment rights in one of the mailing lists i m on someone pointed out how easy it is to call the governator and voice your opinion in fact you don t even actually have to utter a word which is great if you re like me and am slightly apprehensive of talking to people over the phone step 1 call 916 445 2841 governor step 2 press 1 for english step 3 press 2 to comment on a bill step 4 listen for ab962 option step 5 press 2 for oppose veto when i tried the line was busy the first time but went through the second time you might need to try a couple of times to get through or call off hours when other people are asleep it s automated so your call will still go through as i mentioned in my previous post you can also write the governator a letter online at this link too http www gov ca gov interact oh and don t forget to pass on the word posted in guns 1 comment ab 962 september 17 2009 by ryochiji as has been reported elsewhere the california legislature passed ab 962 which creates new restrictions on the sale or delivery of ammunition in california the latest version isn t nearly as bad as the original version which for instance limited transfers to 50 rounds a month but the one thing that concerns me the most is that it might make it illegal to buy ammunition online the bill says the delivery or transfer of ownership of handgun ammunition may only occur in a face to face transaction with the deliverer or transferor being provided bona fide evidence of identity of the purchaser or other transferee ok so that doesn t sound so bad the deliverer has to be provided an id at the time of delivery so instead of the ups man leaving boxes of ammo at my door step they have to hand it to me personally and check my id that s sensible right except a vendor shall not sell or otherwise transfer ownership of any handgun ammunition without at the time of delivery legibly recording the following information a the date of the sale or other transaction b the purchaser s or transferee s driver s license or other identification number and the state in which it was issued c the brand type and amount of ammunition sold or otherwise transferred d the purchaser s or transferee s signature e the name of the salesperson who processed the sale or other transaction f the right thumbprint of the purchaser or transferee on the above form g the purchaser s or transferee s full residential address and telephone number h the purchaser s or transferee s date of birth so the vendor has to get all this information at the time of delivery i m no lawyer but if i had to interpret this literally well i think it means we can t buy ammo online unless the vendor wants to deliver it to me personally and collect all this information in theory the ups man could get all this information but i m not sure that counts as the vendor getting the information at the time of delivery unless the ups man beams all that info to the vendor and waits for confirmation before handing me the box or something in any case as written the bill sounds like it makes it nearly impossible to mail order ammo without breaking the law so that s my beef with ab 962 we can t buy ammo online and frankly if we can t buy ammo online we can t buy ammo period because local shops sure as he...
