Talk:Uncle Fester (author)

message: I just wanted to note that I originally created this page because Uncle Fester is a common name in Clandestine chemistry. I invited Fester to add some personal information, and he did. I noticed that when he added the information to the page, he did it in a not-so-neutral point of view. The neutral problem was at the fault of Fester, I should have explained to him more clearly about the rules of this online encyclopedia.

replies: text: The entire article still seems to have, as Ddhix mentioned, a rather personal slant to it. I'm reinstating the POV warning.--Mmoople 05:54, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: I would characterize the quality of the writing as poor, and specifically much too conversational. The article should be better organized - several sentences criticize the various books' processes but are scattered throughout the main body of text. However, to say that this material is inappropriate for an encyclopedia is ridiculous. 218.25.32.210 (talk) 03:06, 10 September 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  How are these books legal? 

message: "    * Vest Busters, Fester's smallest book, describes easy methods for creating Teflon coated bullets, and other vest penetrating ammunition. It has since been determined that the addition of a Teflon coating to a projectile has little or no effect on its ability to penetrate bullet-resistant vests.[citation needed]"
This line gives the impression that the book was only about applying a Teflon coating to bullets. On the contrary, it describes methods of turning down steel on a lathe and later coat it with Teflon, since bullets have to be jacketed with some soft metal or Teflon to keep from damaging the barrel. Steel bullets are known for significantly increasing penetration of various types of armor, including the Kevlar vests worn by police. Teflon has been proven to increase bullet velocity, which also increases penetration of armors. A lead cored Teflon coated bullet may not reach a high enough velocity to penetrate armor, but a Teflon coated steel bullet certainly would.
I'm getting the impression that whoever wrote this section of the article never read the book in question.--SlapChopVincent (talk) 00:26, 21 March 2012 (UTC)
