    1. Copying and pasting entire articles from another site to TFL is strictly prohibited. The same applies to articles from print or other media, and to posting photographs taken of copyrighted pages or other media.

    2. Copyright law provides for “fair use” of portions of a copyrighted work. You can copy no more than a SINGLE paragraph from the article to your post (3 or 4 sentences at most).

    3. You must provide a link to the article along with the name of website. For example: ww.xxx.yyy/zzz (The Lower Thumbsuck Daily News).

    4. You must provide, in your own words, a brief summary of the article AND your reasons for believing it will be of interest to TFL members. Failure to do so may result in the thread being closed or your post being deleted as a “cut and paste drive by.”

    5. Photographs and other images are also copyrighted. "Hotlinking" of images (so that it appears in your message) from other sites is also prohibited unless you own rights to the image. If you wish to share an image, provide a clickable link to it.

    Posts that do not follow these new guidelines will be altered or deleted by staff. Members who continue to violate this policy may lose their posting privileges at TFL.

Scientific(or maybe not so scientific) data

Apple a Day

THis may be extraneous but I was thinking the other day that it might be nice to have a dedicated forum for scientific data on firearms and reviews for ammo.
Let's say I take a new firearm out and chronograph it or use a new style/manufacture of ammo. It might be usefull to be able to enter the make/model of the firearm, barrel length, number of rounds through, actual muzzle velocities, number/ratio of misfires and general comments on the firearm.
I have seen posts on penetration and expansion with various firearms and loads. I think putting them in one place might not only encourage shooters to do studies but help people who are looking for info. Having a list of conditions, materials, and ranges for bullet performances would be appreciated, I think. If someone is looking at buying a new gun or switching ammo they can look at some real data in a legible easy-to-read format and make an educated decision.
I know some of this can be found by using the search feature but it requires a lot of wading through other stuff. That may take a little of the fun out of it but it was a thought.
Regards
