Is aluminium used in small arms?

Is it used in barrels, triggers etcIf not, what would be some advantages and disadvantages of using it?

Answer:

Take her to a doctor, this is not normalMaybe she's not eating b/c her stomach hurts from the constipation? She might have a medical problem that you're unaware ofHave you given her a suppository or some other laxative? I would suggest that.
what does she like to eat? are you giving her things she doesn't like? does she have any food allergies that you are not aware of this may be a reason she only wants certain foods? what does the doc say?
Ok firstly your child won't eat because she's worried about it - it's obviously become an issue and she's picking up on how stressed out about it you areYou need to make food time funRelax a bit about eating, put a plate with some grapes, pasta etc on it and leave her to explore it in any way she wants toIf all she wants to do is squish the bits of grape - then so be it for nowGet her to taste her fingers, then try getting her to eat a little bitMake a game of it - make the food 'hide' in her tummyTry making the spoon a 'train' and her mouth the 'tunnel'don't get cross and try and be patientTry different kinds of food - hot, cold, runny, sticky, soft, chewy, crunchy - find out what textures she likes and dislikes! Secondly the constipation is because of the milk and lack of anything else in her dietDoes she drink other drinks like water? Try to encourge her (again calmly) to have a drink of juice, or waterGet some stuff from the chemist to help her go to the toiletShe's probably feeling pretty rotten because she's constipated at the moment, which could in turn put her off foodOther tips - let her choose some foods at the supermarket - give her choices e.gred grapes or green grapes? Twisty pasta or tube pasta? Get her to 'help' in the kitchen when you make her foodBuy a 'special' cup for drinks other than milkLet her choose it and keep it exclusively for other drinks - never milkAnd lastly, don't give upAll kids will choose something to really create about - with my son it was bedtime, with my daughter it was eatingMy third child does both of these but runs off in public given half a chance! If all else fails, seek help from your GP or Health VisitorGood luck!!
I think you need to talk to her pediatrician.
Oh yeahMost modern firearms have substantial components made of aluminum in order to cut down on weightThe M16 was heralded for its incorporation of materials from the aerospace industry (aluminum and polymers) when it was adopted by the US military in 1963Aluminum has only a fraction of the yield strength of steel, so it is limited in its application, but still used extensivelyIt is much more expensive than steel, though, and the reduction in weight is offset by the increased costThe M16, for instance, has a forged aluminum upper receiverThe bolt assembly and barrel are made of steel due to the large forces exerted upon themThe stock and forearm are plasticThe more modern M4 variant is often equipped with aluminum picatinny accessory railsModern optic tubes are often milled from aluminum billets, and accessory mounts are often aluminum as wellAluminum can be used for low-stress applications such as triggers and rails, but not for high-stress and high-wear applications such as the firing pin, hammer, bolt, or barrelIn some handguns, the slide rails and frame are aluminum, but the slide and barrel assembly are steel.
