TapTheForwardAssist posted:With a suppressor, you have to re-adjust the sights on a weapon to account for the new trajectory, and also suppressors don't work very well on revolvers because they have a gap between the cylinder and the barrel, so you end up having a bunch of noise and flash seep out of the gap before the gases even hit the suppressor. Unless you're using the very unusual Nagant Model 1895. It has a gas seal that, well, seals the gap you were talking about. They're I think the only revolver that could utilize a silencer properly.

TapTheForwardAssist posted:So is British "white cider" just malt liquor with a splash of apple? Or is it just water, apple juice, and sugar-based industrial ethanol? Some other article I was reading said something about "white cider" being made from the waste products of brewing, so is it like "pommace" where you just pour water into the leavings you've already made stuff out of, and then make booze out of that like with grappa? From what I can find it's essentially a pommace thing, distill the last bit of alcohol out of the apple pulp and then water it down and add some cheap imported apple concentrate to punch it up. There's also Buckfast Tonic Wine, which is basically a bottle of the E. & J. Gallo Brother's finest bumwine with about the same caffeine-per-volume as a cup of strong coffee. IIRC there was a study that found that in alcohol-related assaults in Scotland something like 40% of perpetrators had consumed Buckfast beforehand.

They're I think the only revolver that could utilize a silencer properly. Or you can enclose the entire cylinder with a secondary baffle to catch the gas, which is a fairly involved work of machining but has been done before by a German gunsmith with some S&W Model 625 revolvers for a SWAT team.

Azathoth posted:Yeah, I didn't mean to suggest that Kuklinski is at all truthful, just that he clearly killed outside of his mob work for those nebulous "emotional reasons" and that he should be differentiated from other mob killers like Sammy "the Bull" Gravano, who killed because that's something that the mob needs done. Not that he should be taken at face value either, but I hope I got my point across. Wow that guy was released from prison

That's why I phrased things like I did. I tend to read a shitload of true crime stuff, probably more than what most would consider healthy and while I've yet to come across a female serial killer having a sex motive, I can't rule it out just because I haven't read it yet. Off the top of my head, Karla Homolka's probably the best fit for having a sex motive going from what I've read on the case.

I've been getting super into AMC's The Terror lately, but having spoiled the ending to the novel it's based on for myself, I've decided I'd much rather read some non-fiction about the incident. I've seen a few posts in here about The Lost Franklin Expedition, and the ships and crews involved, but was wondering what specific suggestions the thread had. I feel like I've heard good things about The Man Who Ate His Boots in here, and I know it's broader than just the Franklin expedition. How about that one?

The Arctic Grail is older and covers other horrific expeditions as well, but I think it’s good.

Solice Kirsk posted:I hope poo poo like this starts solving tons of old rapes and murders. One of the big problems with solving rapes isn't identifying who did it - it's proving that it was non-consensual to a court of law and jury, often years later. So until societal views on consent change, there won't be much progress there, sadly.

Most people who know just a tad about Richard Burton know that he drank. A lot. But I hadn't realized how much until reading this biography. When he had an operation to repair arthritis, it was discovered his spine was completely covered in crystalized alcohol. quote:At rehearsals, Burton's Thermos flask would contain whisky: "He'd pour it into a plastic cup and blow on it, pretending it was hot tea," reports Michael Munn. Once, with Lee Marvin, he drank 17 consecutive dry Martinis.

Body Found In Bathroom Wall At Core Shopping Centre In Calgaryquote:CALGARY — A man's body was extracted from inside a wall of a women's washroom in a busy downtown Calgary mall on Monday, but police said they did not suspect foul play. The speculation is that he fell from above through a vent and died in the wall somehow.

Maybe he's the type who's been itching to talk about his crimes for years and now that he has an outlet it'll all just come pouring out of him. He could also be the type that recognizes how badly the public wants to know the details of his story and gets off on withholding that information.

That's true, and it's not like they can dangle life in prison instead of the death penalty in front of him for info, not at his age.
