1) In a fire, ammunition will explode and send the bullet bouncing around, possibly killing someone-- Incorrect. In a fire, the cartridge case will rupture long before enough pressure is built up to cause an explosion or to propel the bullet with much force. In fact, the bullet is more likely to barely move; whereas the case my bounce around a bit, but without much force. SAAMI, the US firearms safety organization, even distributes a video on the subject to educate firefighters.
2) Hollowpoints are illegal-- Incorrect. In most states, hollowpoints are quite legal and are the preferred self-defense round.
3) Hollowpoints, especially Black Talons, go right through police body armor-- Incorrect. Because a hollowpoint, even a Black Talon, is designed to open up, it is LESS likely to penetrate police body armor.
4) Black Rhino bullets go right through police body armor-- Incorrect. Black Rhino bullets never existed. They were a hoax, perpetrated by an HCI member who later faced charges for manufacturing ammo without a license.
5) Teflon (PTFE) coated bullets are go right through police body armor, that is why they are coated in Teflon-- Incorrect. First off, bullets were only coated in Teflon to reduce wear on the barrels of the firearms. Secondly, after extensive government testing, it was determined that Teflon did not aid the penetration of police body armor.
6) Laser sights make firearms more accurate-- Incorrect. Laser sights have no affect on a firearm's accuracy. They make it faster to sight, but are generally a less precise method of sighting than normal sights or scopes.
7) Assault weapons are no good for hunting-- Incorrect. Assault weapons (semi-automatics) are often excellent for hunting and are common "ranch rifles". Assault RIFLES (machineguns--see definitions page) are generally illegal to hunt with.
8) No one hunts with handguns-- Incorrect. Many people hunt with handguns. There are generally more restrictions on handgun hunters, but people routinely hunt everything from rabbits and squirrels to deer with handguns.
9) Glocks will pass right through airport security-- Incorrect. Glocks are over 80% metal and WILL NOT pass through airport security (unless the security officer is asleep).
10) People fly backwards when shot-- Incorrect. To do so would defy the laws of physics. If a bullet had that much force behind it, the shooter would also fly backwards (for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction), or have their arm(s) ripped off..
11) Such-and-such firearm will stop a car-- Incorrect. There is no commercailly available round or firearm with enough power to stop a car. They may damage it enough that it stops a few miles down the road, but they will not forcibly stop it.
12) Cars explode when you shoot them in the trunk/gas tank-- Incorrect. The thin soft metal of a gas tank is highly unlikly to spark if struck by a lead/copper bullet, any such spark would have to go inward and hit vapor (fluid will not ignite), etc. The best one could hope for if shooting a car in the gas tank is for a big enough hole to cause a severe leak.
13) A blankity-blank Magnum will penetrate an engine block-- Incorrect. First off, any such shot would have to penetrate various other pieces of metal, thus shaving off velocity and energy (power). Then, the bullet would have to strike a thin piece of the engine block at almost a perpendicular (dead on) angle. Even then, it is unlikely it would make a hole in the block and even less likely with will do any internal damage.
14) Cop killer bullets are a real danger to police-- Incorrect. Cop killer bullets are a myth created by NBC, the same people who brought you trucks rigged to explode when struck from the side. Cop killer bullets do not exist and no cop has ever been shot by a handgun round which defeated his body armor.
