FORENSIC
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.
W. French Anderson is a medical doctor and a pioneer in the field
of human gene therapy. He has an extensive background in gene research,
forensic medicine, firearms training and sports medicine. $40.00

FRANGIBLE 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.
