Above is letters A-Z, a brief list of firearms products: We are trying to get as many gun related products on one website to save you time, and help you locate just the item you are looking for.
Letter "W" Wad -- Muzzle loading. A piece of cloth used to seal the bullet into the barrel. Its purpose and function is the same as a shotgun wad. Wad -- A clump of material, commonly of cardboard or plastic, which acts as a buffer between the shot and the powder in shotgun ammunition. It seals in the gases which propel the shot out of the barrel. Without a wad, the gases would go whistling past the shot instead of propelling it out the barrel. Wadcutter -- [Image] A cylindrical-shaped bullet. It makes a very tidy, easily measured hole in a paper target and is thus often used in target competitions. Weapon -- A tool designed for a human being to enable her to protect herself, or to commit aggression against other people, or (sometimes) to take game animals. Not all firearms are weapons. Many firearms are designed and used only for target shooting or for competitions involving speed and accuracy. Weaver Stance -- Jack Weaver was a Deputy Sheriff in the 1950's when he began using this stance in competition. A young Jeff Cooper quickly adopted the successful stance, and later popularized it at his shooting school, Gunsite. In the Weaver stance, the body is angled slightly in relation to the target rather than squarely facing it. The elbows are flexed and pointed downward. The strong-side arm is slightly straighter than the weak-side arm. The shooter pushes out with the gun hand, while the weak hand pulls back. This produces a push-pull tension which is the chief defining characteristic of the Weaver stance. Wheel Gun -- Slang for a revolver. | |

| “This class was very informational. I think before citizens are able to purchase a firearm they should be required to take this class. By being in this class I was able to learn my rights as a firearm owning citizen. The class was perfect, it included an instructional video and there was material available for hands on learning. The instructors were very involved and really cared that you were able to understand the materials covered in the classroom. The instructors used real life scenarios that helped class retain material.” |

| “This class is great for the understanding and confidence in using a handgun. The instruction of the class helps you determine when and what you need to do in case any situation arises. As far as things to do better for the class, I would say keep everything the same. All points were explained as needed and were given opportunity to ask and get questions answered.” |
