  3. Colt Python - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colt_Python

    Between 1955 and 1994, a downsized 2.5-inch (6.4 cm) barrel version was introduced which still sported full-sized grips. Colt also produced a few short runs of revolvers with a 3-inch (7.6 cm) barrel known to collectors as "Combat Pythons." [27] [28] In 1980, an 8-inch (20 cm) barrel Python was introduced chambered for the .38 Special.

  4. Bounds checking - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bounds_checking

    In computer programming, bounds checking is any method of detecting whether a variable is within some bounds before it is used. It is usually used to ensure that a number fits into a given type (range checking), or that a variable being used as an array index is within the bounds of the array (index checking).

    The M1877 was offered from the factory in two basic finishes: nickel-plated or a case-hardened frame with a blue barrel and cylinder. The revolver was available in 2 + 12 in (64 mm) and 3 + 12 in (89 mm) barrel lengths and was available with or without the ejector rod and housing. The shorter barreled versions without the ejector rod ...

    Fitz Special. John Henry Fitzgerald, an employee of Colt Firearms from 1918 to 1944, first came up with the Fitz Special snubnosed revolver concept around the mid-1920s, when he modified a .38 Special Colt Police Positive Special revolver, [5] by shortening the barrel to two inches (5.1 cm), shortening the ejector rod, bobbing the hammer spur, rounding the butt, and removing the front half of ...

  7. Error detection and correction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Error_detection_and_correction

    Error-correcting codes are used in lower-layer communication such as cellular network, high-speed fiber-optic communication and Wi-Fi, [11] [12] as well as for reliable storage in media such as flash memory, hard disk and RAM. [13] Error-correcting codes are usually distinguished between convolutional codes and block codes:

  8. Error correction code - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Error_correction_code

    Turbo coding is an iterated soft-decoding scheme that combines two or more relatively simple convolutional codes and an interleaver to produce a block code that can perform to within a fraction of a decibel of the Shannon limit.

    Each brand of ammunition in each caliber/cartridge was tested at 18". Then, the barrel was removed and 1" was cut off the end of the barrel and the cut end was dressed. Once all the cartridges had been tested at 18" and the barrels were cut and ready, each brand was tested again at 17" and so on, right down to a 2" barrel.
