forensic analysisFORENSIC ANALYSIS OF THE APRIL 11, 1986, FBI FIREFIGHT
by W French Anderson, M.D.

One of the deadliest firefights in the history of the FBI occurred in 1986 in Miami, Florida. Lasting more than four minutes, the fight claimed the lives of two FBI agents and two extremely violent master criminals and severely injured five other FBI agents. On the 10th anniversary of the shootout, W. French Anderson, M.D., released his seminal study, Forensic Analysis of the April 11, 1986, FBI Firefight. Anderson's report – the most well-researched, well-documented account of a gunfight in modern history – was available only to law enforcement personnel . . . until now. On the 20th anniversary of the firefight that revolutionized the way law enforcement agencies around the nation arm and train their agents, Dr. Anderson makes Forensic Analysis available to the public for the first time.

If you have ever wondered how much punishment the human body can take and continue to function, this scientific report – written by a medical doctor who had access to every scrap of information associated with this case – will astound you. This updated edition of Forensic Analysis includes a new preface by the author that explains how and why he researched this gunfight and answers the most commonly asked questions about it in unprecedented detail. The book also contains detailed diagrams and color photos of the scene and autopsy photos of the criminals; a foreword by Sgt. David Rivers of the Metro-Dade Police Department, who supervised the team in charge of the crime scene; and statements from some of the FBI agents involved in the firefight.

Not only is this book a must-read for any law enforcement officer or private citizen concerned with surviving a gunfight, it also demonstrates how, with the correct mind-set, a person can endure incredible physical punishment and prevail in almost any life-threatening situation.

frangible ammunitionFRANGIBLE AMMUNITION
The New Wave In Firearms Ammunition
by John F Mullins

Frangible Ammunition represents the first viable revolutionary change to firearms science in the past 100 years! A polymer-compound round that produces no splashback and vastly decreased ricochets, frangible ammo is ideal for marksmanship training for both indoor and outdoor ranges, tactical team training, close-in engagement of metal targets and specialized service use. As such, it is the safest full-power training ammo for police and military shooters, civilian range owners and casual shooters. Despite its widespread acceptance, however, there has been no in-depth study of this cutting-edge round . . . until now. This book remedies that by teaching the potential user what a frangible round is, what they can and cannot be used for, how to construct safe training devices and facilities and the proper street and service uses for the round.

John Mullins spent 22 years as a special operations NCO and officer, retiring from the U.S. Army Special Forces with the rank of major. After retirement, he became a consultant in security and training. In 1989 he developed his own frangible ammunition and in 1997 patented the bullet that is now used by Longbow Incorporated to supply police, military and selected civilian ranges throughout the country.
