In fact, all matter is susceptible to penetration by X-ray, provided the X-rays are strong enough. The explanation for the variation in the degrees of film exposure lies in the density of the material; lightweight aluminum, for example, will appear a lighter grey than, say, steel. Excuse the lecture; I do this shit for a living. Metal is, in fact, X-rayable. In fact, all matter is susceptible to penetration by X-ray, provided the X-rays are strong enough.

They are not uncommon. But it does go to show how ignorant the media is. No commercial pistol is "x-ray proof" as claimed when the Glock came onto the market in the late 80s. It will have metal components. It is a polymer framed pistol. They are not uncommon. But it does go to show how ignorant the media is.

That's because it's metal. See how you can’t see through the spring? That’s because it’s metal.

Gamma rays are used to image for cracks etc in airplanes and other metal objects, so I imagine a gun would be no problem for it.

The SW is lighter and smaller, but the recoil doesn't suffer and I'm more accurate with the SW. SW99>Glock in my opinion.

Got it. it's a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SW99" rel="nofollow">SW99</a> (pops), a collaboration piece between Walther and Smith and Wesson. I count 16 in the mag on this, so it 9mm Para. The frame is polymer with a steel slide, so I'm gonna say this is legit. The lack of a external hammer ruled out the P22, and the trigger guard rules out the P99. AHA!

I t's not a glock, thou. The slide would be square at the end. I want to say it’s either a walther P22 or P99, but the trigger guard doesn’t look right (normally it would be squared off). I
