	Rheological fluids based firearms mechanisms - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The mechanisms currently used by firearms and Ordnance utilise combustion of gunpowder to propel ammunition.
		A rheological fluid-based mechanism, uses the alteration of the viscosity of a rheological fluid, or "smart fluid," to control the force necessary to accelerate a piece of ammunition to high speeds.
		A typical application for small arms would be to replace the bolt which is used to seal the firearm by keeping the bolt-head tight to the chamber as long as the projectile travels down the barrel.

	10 Commandments of Firearm Safety
		Before handling a firearm or passing it to someone else, visually check the chamber, receiver and magazine to be certain they do not contain ammunition.
		If your firearm's internal mechanisms are broken or have been altered, your firearm may fire even when the safety is on.
		Anyone who plans to use a firearm should first become totally familiar with the type of firearm it is and the safe handling procedures for loading, unloading, carrying, shooting and storing it.

		Preventing access to firearms by children and criminals is an important strategy to reduce the continuing toll of gun injury and death.
		The Firearm Injury Center also contributed to the1998 publication by the American Medical Association entitled “Physician Firearm Safety Guide.” The AMA guide includes 12 key educational points such as assuring that gun owners are fully informed about handling, storing, securing, cleaning, carrying and firing their weapons.

		Newgard discusses the body's blood loss sensory and compensatory mechanisms (venous constriction, increased cardiac output and vascular fluid transfer), and the degree in which these mechanisms respond to, and compensate for, hemorrhagic shock.
		The intrinsic physiologic compensatory mechanisms of humans makes it difficult to inhibit a determined, aggressive person's activities until he has lost enough blood to cause hemorrhagic shock.
		The body's compensatory mechanisms designed to save a person's life after sustaining a bleeding wound, allow a person to continue to be a threat after receiving an eventually fatal wound, thus necessitating more rounds being fired in order to incapacitate or stop the assailant."

		French courtier Marin le Bourgeoys made the first firearm incorporating a true flintlock mechanism for King Louis XIII shortly after his accession to the throne in 1610.
		The development of firearm lock mechanisms had proceeded from matchlock to wheellock to snaphance and miquelet in the previous two or three centuries, and each type had been an improvement, contributing some design features which were useful.
		The slide was a slow one, even at that, since the percussion system was not widely used until around 1830, and the flintlock continued in common use until the time of the American Civil War.

		The concept of the pistol dates at least to da Vinci, whose manuscripts include illustrations of firearm mechanisms.
		In the centuries since that concept became reality, the pistol has left its mark not only as a weapon, but as a status symbol, an art object, and a consumer product, with dramatic changes in manufacturing and trade practices.
