Plastic weapons? Did he really say that? I can't believe that nonsense is
still floating around. At least with current technology, a gun still
needs
metal to surround the round in the chamber, even if the rest of the thing
is
made of a composite material.


Okay, even if that were true (which it isn't - think "high tech
ceramics") what would the weapon you describe look like going through
a baggage xray? It sure wouldn't look like a gun if all you saw was a
metal tube.

Oh for cryin' out loud....spend an evening browsing web sites belonging to
Smith & Wesson, Kahr, Glock, Springfield, Ruger and a host of others. Find
me some handguns whose slides don't look like slides.
