Capello: "A ceramic gun - that explains how you got through the metal detectors . . ."
Folks, Neil Shaw carries a GLOCK. They are partially made of polymer but still have a steel slide frame and steel barrel. Every handgun contains at least some steel; ceramics and polymers just aren't strong enough to contain the forces of a cartridge firing. And, NONE of them can evade a metal detector and NONE of them are invisible on x-ray. This little "ditty" of a bad line shows up in way too many movies as a statement to the "cloak and dagger" world of black ops, mercenaries, etc. Way back when GLOCKs first came out (mid 1980s) there was a media hysteria on the "new gun for terrorists which can bypass all the security systems, airports, etc." Several governmental agencies, in trying to push for banning them in the US, actually shot themselves in the foot (no pun intended . . . ) when they did airport x-ray demonstrations before congressional committees and, lo and behold, every x-ray showed a distinct, unmistakable gun!
And, if you just cannot understand what I just said and want to overlook "totally undetectable gun" OK, but how in the name of Sam Hill do they get the ammunition past metal detectors and X-rays?xc They contain brass or steel for the cartridge casing, lead or steel bullet projectiles and possibly a copper coating - no ceramics or non-metals here.
Hollywood writers, please do yourselves a favor and don't ruin your reputations - leave this concept on the cutting room floor!
Whatever doesn't kill me only makes me stronger. How strong are you?
