Technical question

STI has an animation where you can see the innards of the 1911.

It's neato torpedo.

Problem:  It's an .swf file.  That means adobe macromedia flash.  And flash is so vulnerable that chances are a security update ganked off the computer you are using to read this right now.

What safe alternatives do I have?  Is there a way to save the file locally and just airgap the machine that runs it?

  2. Clip can be downloaded from https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1H3IFJXxyEs

    I use "Video Downloadhelper" to download and convert the file to .mp4

I reserve the right to delete patently offensive comments. Or, really, any comment I feel like. Or I might leave a really juicy comment up for private ridicule. Also spammers.

You can always offend hippies in the comment section. Chances are, those will be held up as a proper example...
