As I mentioned on Twitter yesterday I had a request for permission to use some of my pictures in an Italian magazine and blog. He told me:
Both on my site and on my articles, I write about reloading, especially for pistols.
One of my elaboration led me to examine the correlation between recoil intensity and bullets weight. I will public this article both on my site and on "Armi Magazine" journal. Now I am searching some pictures about recoil.
This email to ask you if I could use some of beautiful photos from your blog, in particular that in attached (have you the HD format ?), for sure I will mention your name on the pictures.
Here are the pictures (cropped down to the interesting parts) I sent him:
Some of you will recognize the guns and others will recognize their own hands.
Update: I have a .pdf file of the completed article now. Only the first picture above was used (Robb, your hands may soon be famous in Italy). Once the article is actually published I should be getting a link to it and I will post it. Here is the title of the article:
"Tiro dinamico: palla leggera o pesante ?" - "Dynamic shooting (IPSC): light or heavy bullet?"
Sub title: "Rilevamento e tempo di riarmo di una pistola in funzione del peso palla" - "Recoil and slide time as a function of bullet weight"
As I have been shooting IPSC (now USPSA) for nearly 15 years this is a topic of great interest to me. From what I can tell looking at the graphs and picking up a few words and numbers in the article this is a very interesting article. I'll probably spend the time to run it through an automated translator to get a better idea of what it says.
