First, the assumptions I operate under, in no particular order:
- I think that the Israeli government, or organisations affiliated closely to it, is responsible for those killings. This is not based on any sort of inside knowledge but a crude application of the notion of cui bono? - who stands to benefit?
- I doubt the Iranian government is doing this to keep other nuclear scientists on their toes, or to deal with any dissent by these particular scientists in a more swift and brutal manner than the misgivings of J. Robert Oppenheimer were dealt with by the US Congress in the 1950s.
- Further to 1 above: I don't believe that Iranian dissident groups or your bog-standard criminals have the organisational skill to pull off events like these. Nor do the US have sufficient intelligence on the ground in Iran to play much of a role - even after having tens of thousands of their troops stationed to the west and northeast of Iran, in Iraq and Afghanistan respectively.
- I assume that those scientists identified as having been killed really are dead, and these reports aren't some sort of sympathy-seeking scam on the part of the Iranian government like the supposed death of baby Hana Gaddafi.
- The Iranian government is developing nuclear weapons and its protestations to the contrary are bullshit.
- The Iranian government has a firm and oft-stated policy of wiping the State of Israel off the face of the earth.
- The State of Israel has a right to exist, which means that it has the right to head off threats like the Iranian nuclear program, which is a real and major threat to the existence of Israel.
- I'm equally sure that Israel's ability to do this is limited by the lack of good faith it has shown in dealing with Palestine, which I regard as a real but separate issue.
- Israel may fairly be accused of subverting multilateral measures by these targeted killings, but so are the Iranians for lying about their program; and for developing nuclear weapons with aggressive intent rather than just to participate in "the nuclear club". Faults on both sides, no point hammering one and giving the other a free pass.
- Israel does not have to wait until a nuclear weapon detonates on its territory, or passes into it, or even is completed, given the fact that these are expressly and explicitly to be used against Israel.
Imagine that the Los Alamos Atomic Laboratory had been destroyed, or that individuals associated with it (e.g. Oppenheimer or Edward Teller) had been targeted for killing by the Axis powers or forces allied to them before the atomic bombs were dropped on Japan. Such action would have been legitimate acts of war.
Would I be upset if Australian scientists got picked off by bombs? Yes, I would (and not just because Sydney traffic is bad enough as it is). For all the criticisms that may be made of Australian foreign policy, I don't believe that the Australian government is engaged in wiping another country off the face of the earth.
Iranian nuclear scientists are 'combatants'. Yes, they are. Given the regular official harangues against Israel - not dissimilar to those against Iraq before and during the conflict of the 1980s - Iranians who participate in their nuclear program know full well that they are threatening Israel and participating in a malevolent foreign policy. The development of a nuclear program by an explicitly and demonstrably aggressive Iran is the same sort of belligerent act as as the amassing of troops, beating ploughshares back into swords, and other acts indicating that a state is initiating war. Again, Israel is not obliged to place its exclusive trust in international agreements or to be bereft of options should those agreements fail to protect it from destruction.
Iran has been practicing terrorism against Israel, with its rhetorical threats backed up with their support for militant Palestinian elements. Targeting Iranian nuclear scientists has the same terrorist effect. Iran can still exist without its nuclear program, but Iran's threats against Israel are threats to the whole nation, its whole people. I think the targeted killings have been clever and resourceful against heavily protected nuclear scientists who are working to obliterate an entire people.
By contrast, the Iranian government has been boorish and inept in hoping that wiping Israel off the map is some sort of rallying cry for a failed regime. Its treatment of Iranian dissidents does not give the Iranian government, nor anyone else, any grounds to complain about the targeted killings of nuclear scientists.
If the Iranian government caught any agent in the act of preparing or placing those bombs, it would be hard to call for or expect proper due process in dealing with such a person.
Israel's behaviour is far from perfect but in seeking to forestall Iranian nuclear weapons my sympathies are with them, and I believe that sympathies for Iran on this matter (beyond a simple and true human empathy for the grieving families of the individuals killed) are misplaced. | weapons_science |

I had never seen anything like it and immediately saw the benefits for skinning, food prep and light bushcrafting. I have been a big fan of the Ulu since and as a hunter, when I was designing the Backwoods Skinner I couldn’t think of any blade geometry that fit my purpose for this knife like the Ulu. I decided to use the same deep belly of the Ulu for skinning purposes, but opted for a smaller blade and a rear oriented grip for getting into tighter areas and the ability to do finer skinning work.
I went with the straight clip point so that it would allow for the index finger to run up the spine to the tip, allowing you to guide the Backwoods Skinner into tighter spots with greater control. I decided to angle the grip away from the blade in an effort to allow for a natural break to the wrist for better ergonomics and to prevent fatigue in the wrist when working with it for extended periods of time.
I opted for a parasite gut hook to keep it from destroying clothing and sheaths. The grenade pin to affix the gut hook in the handle during use was the stroke of genius added by Leo Espinoza, President of TOPS Knives.

You can see from the original drawing that the final product was very close to my original design.
After I create the original drawing on graph paper, I take the design into Adobe Illustrator and create a clean, digital version with measurements.
Due to the nature of the gut hook and its operation TOPS Knives asked that I come up with a sheet with directions on how to use it so they could include it with each knife. Below is the sheet (front and back) with the illustrations I did to demonstrate its operation. | weapons_science |

The Glock 26 is the balancing act between size and capacity. It's small enough to easily carry and conceal, but for its size does have decent capacity at 10+1. Add the 12+1 extended magazine, and it becomes easier to shoot. The Glock 43 is going to be the easiest to conceal and carry since it's the smallest. Under the menu, go to Desktops or Apps, click on Details next to your choice and then select Add to Favorites.
Cartridge: 7.62x25mm Tokarev. Action: Closed bolt, semi-auto. Muzzle velocity: Approximately 1,640 ft/s. Effective range: 100m. Maximum range: 200m. Feed system: 35rd detachable box magazine - (4) included. Sights: Flip rear sight; fixed blade front sight. Centerfire Systems is proud to offer the Polish PPS43 firearms and accessories..
Specifications for the PPS-43 reflected a weight of 6.7lbs. The submachine gun features an overall length of 32.3 inches with the stock extended and a length of 24.2 inches with the stock folded. The weapon has a barrel (right-hand, 4-grooved) length of 9.6 inches. Like the PPS-42, the PPS-43 had an effective rate-of-fire of 100 rounds-per. | weapons_science |

The X-Bolt Hell’s Canyon Speed rifle is built to exceed your accuracy expectations, straight from the box. The action and stiff, fluted barrel are bedded and free floated to ensure straight shooting.
Softer shooting and tougher than ever. The muzzle brake reduces felt recoil and is easily removed and replaced with an included thread protector. In place of traditional blueing, a Cerakote Burnt Bronze finish was chosen. Not only does it look great, the flat finish aids in concealment. Cerakote is also tougher than other firearm finishes to keep this rifle looking its best for years to come.
Very light to carry yet with heavyweight performance. The lightweight composite stock makes this rifle easy to carry; and the A-TACS AU camo is versatile enough to blend into nearly every background. An Inflex recoil pad tames the recoil of even the most savage magnums by redirecting recoil down and away from your cheek. Carry an extra magazine in your pocket for easy reloading – unlike many production rifles, the X-Bolt doesn’t need an aftermarket upgrade to take detachable magazines.
The features just keep coming. RECEIVER – Steel; Cerakote® Burnt Bronze finish; Glass bedded; Drilled and tapped for scope mounts BARREL – Sporter; Cerakote® Burnt Bronze finish; Free-floating; Hand chambered; Target Crown ACTION – Bolt-action; 60° bolt lift; Adjustable Feather Trigger; Detachable Rotary magazine; Top-tang safety; Bolt Unlock Button; Cerakote® Burnt Bronze finish STOCK – Composite; Textured gripping surfaces; Right-hand palm swell; A-TACS AU (Arid/Urban) camouflage finish; FEATURES – Inflex Technology recoil pad; Sling swivel studs installed
- The X-Bolt is free-floated by bedding the front and rear of the action for stability and to help maintain barrel to stock spacing for consistent accuracy. A recessed muzzle crown helps protect the rifling from damage.
- The X-Bolt’s new three-lever Feather Trigger provides a clean, crisp pull with no take-up or creep and minimal overtravel.
- X-Lock scope mounts feature an all new four screw per base design that replaces the traditional two screw system. The benefits are obvious, with the bases being secured at all four corners.
- This recoil pad has proprietary construction and material to promote a directional deflection of recoil forces, pulling the stock comb away from your face to reduce felt recoil and muzzle climb.
- The bolt unlock button works in conjunction with the top-tang safety to provide an added measure of safety during checking and unloading of the chamber.
- Short 60° bolt lift is fast cycling and allows you to work the bolt quickly without the scope getting in the way.
- An all new detachable rotary magazine is incorporated into the X-Bolt. Constructed from a durable lightweight polymer, the magazine is designed to feed cartridges directly in-line with the bolt.

The throwing axe acts like the exploding barrels found in-game, only doing more damage with a slightly larger blast radius. The deployable turret places a turret on the ground three paces ahead of your character in the direction you are facing. It automatically fires at any enemies within its range. The healing totem drops a stationary totem that will heal for a certain amount of damage. Like health pots, they have the ability to revive fallen allies (including yourself) but must be in the vicinity of the corpse. And finally, meat bait will distract enemies for a short while.
Each consumable is mapped to a directional button on the D-pad (up, down, left, right). One consumable remains selected at a time, unless changed with the D-pad, and is activated with the right button (RB).
Consumables can be gathered from campaign missions and challenge maps or purchased for 250 gold a piece from the vendors.

U.S. Strategic Command sent two B-2 Spirit bombers from Whiteman Air Force Base, Mo., to the Republic of Korea March 28, for a long-duration, round-trip training mission as part of the ongoing bilateral Foal Eagle training exercise, demonstrating the commitment of the United States and its capability to defend the Republic of Korea and to provide extended deterrence to our allies in the Asia-Pacific region.
The two B-2 Spirit bombers, assigned to 509th Bomb Wing, demonstrated the United States' ability to conduct long-range, precision strikes quickly and at will, flying more than 6,500 miles to the Korean Peninsula, dropping inert munitions on the Jik Do Range, and returning to the continental U.S. in a single, continuous mission.
The United States is steadfast in its alliance commitment to the defense of the Republic of Korea, to deterring aggression and to ensuring peace and stability in the region. The B-2 bomber is an important element of America's enduring and robust extended deterrence capability in the Asia-Pacific region.
The 509th Bomb Wing is part of the Air Force Global Strike Command, responsible for long range global strike and nuclear deterrence to support the President of the United States and Combatant Commanders.
B-2 Spirit bombers from Whiteman Air Force base have participated in four combat operations since they arrived at Whiteman AFB in 1993: in Operation Allied Force, they were the first unit to attack targets in Serbia. In 2001, they were the first aircraft to destroy Taliban targets in Afghanistan following the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. In 2003, they participated in the "Shock and Awe" phase of the campaign to overthrow the regime of Saddam Hussein, and in 2011 they destroyed the Libyan Air Force as part of the enforcement of a no-fly zone in order to protect Libyan civilians.
The B-2 Spirit is a long-range nuclear and conventional stealthy bomber. The bomber can fly at high subsonic speeds at altitudes that can reach 50,000 feet. Its unrefueled range is at least 6,000 nautical miles. The B-2 brings massive firepower, in a short time, anywhere on the globe through the most challenging defenses.

Well, according to the latest research, we want a reliable, compact, striker-fired semi-automatic pistol that’s ready for a red-dot and deep concealment at the same time. We’d also appreciate it if the price tag stayed, say, under $400. Stoeger Industries‘ STR-9C has each of these in spades, (except for the $400 part, because the MSRP is actually $329). Naturally, the reviewers at American Rifleman had no choice but to take an STR-9C to the range for another mainstay of American shooters: breaking-in a new gun on the outdoor range with friends.

They are very popular firearms and are well-liked by the people who use them. They are reliable, customizable, easy to use and can be utilized for a number of purposes.
While the style of the Glock has not changed too drastically since its inception, there are plenty of aftermarket parts that can be purchased to change the look and function of the gun. Anyone who wants to use something like a laser site, Glock trigger kit or grip enhancer is able to find the parts they need. Many of the parts come in different colors and patterns to further allow gun owners to have a unique item.
Glocks have been tested not only by the company that produces them but also by different companies and consumers. The robust design has few moving parts so that there is less of a chance of complicated systems breaking down. They can function beautifully in all types of conditions, including bad weather, for very long periods of time before they begin to slow down or fail.
There are different models available that can handle a broad range of different calibers. They can be safely stored and used for home defense purposes or taken outside to aid in self-defense methods. Anyone who takes their gun outside of the house should observe all the local laws and have any permits needed. Glocks are easy to carry, as they are small and light and can be tucked safely into a holster and hidden underneath clothing. There are also people who buy a Glock in order to compete in shooting competitions or practice at the local gun range.
Ease of Use
Like many pistols, Glocks are easy to shoot. The trigger is usually much easier to press than a revolver, allowing people who may have difficulty firing other types of guns to enjoy training with a Glock. While the trigger is easy to activate, there are systems in place to prevent the gun from accidentally going off, making it safe to carry around all day.
When thinking about what type and model of gun to buy, consider all of the available options before making a purchase. Remember, if there is nothing on the market that is currently appealing, then aftermarket parts can be bought to modify any aspects of a firearm that are not quite perfect. | weapons_science |

This remarkable aerial battle, which broke all records for height and endurance, is depicted in Jim Mitchell’s painting below.
After the mauling received by their bomber force in the Battle of Britain, Germany changed tactics to the night bombing of towns and cities from September 1940 – what became known as the ‘Blitz’. Goering, the head of the Luftwaffe, was frustrated by the knowledge that his once proud boast to Hitler that the Luftwaffe would easily defeat the RAF had failed during the Battle of Britain, thus making daylight bombing of Britain almost impossible without a long range fighter escort. Goering then tasked his bomber commanders to find some way of bombing England, if only in a small way, to keep up German morale and possibly also his standing with Hitler.
The Junkers 86 bomber had been used in the 1930’s, but was considered outdated by 1939. A few were converted in late 1941 to the reconnaissance role by increasing the wing span and fitting a new pressurised cockpit, so enabling the JU86P to fly at heights over 40,000 feet – a height that the Luftwaffe knew the RAF Spitfires could not achieve at that time. Spitfire pilots were frustrated to see the Junkers drone serenely over Britain a few thousand feet above their maximum ceiling and also above the anti-aircraft shell range taking photos of potential targets with impunity.
High Altitude Spies
The Junkers were doing the same thing in the Middle East – this time monitoring Allied naval movements from Egypt. The situation was intolerable, necessi-tating a local ‘modification’ to a new Mark VC Spitfire, an aircraft that was designed and built here in Southampton. This aircraft was stripped of unnecessary equipment, armour plating and cannon and fitted with a four-bladed propeller and locally made extended wing-tips. While successful in the short-term ‘dissuading’ the Junkers from their role in the Mediterranean, the drier air condition were onlt just suitable for the Mark VC at altitude there, and not in Britain.
At the same time, the Germans, realising that their existing Junkers 86P aircraft were now potentially vulnerable, set about on a programme to improve the aircraft. This they did with the Junkers Ju 86R variant. This aircraft could fly at over 40,000 feet using nitrous-oxide injected diesel en-gines, and an even longer wing span. The Spitfire Mark VC high altitude fighter could not now catch the Junkers. At the same time, the Luftwaffe had adapted the Junkers to carry one bomb of approximately 550lb to drop on British targets, and operations started in August 1942.
Initially, the RAF tried a similar response to that used in the Middle East earlier by stripping down a few of the new Mark IX aircraft of all non-essentials [one wonders whether the pilots were con-sulted….] to try to get to altitude, but without success. The bombing of Bristol by a lone Ju86R on 28 August killing at least 48 people was the final straw for Fighter Command.
To counteract the menace, Fighter Command formed the ‘Special Service Flight’ at RAF Northolt just outside London to produce and adapt an aircraft that could catch these bombers. Six experienced pilots were chosen after exhaustive medical and technical examinations at RAE Farnborough to staff the flight under the command of Flt Lt Jimmy Nelson, an American who had flown in the RAF ‘Eagle’ Squadrons earlier in the war. The three Eagle squadrons were generally staffed with United States citizens who had crossed the border into Canada to fight with the RAF before the United States joined the war in December 1941, risking not only their lives, but also their US citizenship and liberty.
As an interim, similar to the earlier Mark VC, two latest model Spitfires, Mark IXs, were painted a light blue, as were photo-reconnaissance Spitfires. These aircraft were converted to have lightweight propellers, all armour protection removed, and the four Browning machine guns removed leaving only the two wingmounted cannons. This saved approximately 450lbs in weight, which could make all the difference in the task required. The Mark IX Spitfire was the most numerous Spitfire variant constructed. Designed at the Supermarine headquarters at HursleyPark [now the main IBM offices], the Mark IX was originally introduced to combat the new Luftwaffe fighter, the Focke-Wulf 190, which was superior to the existing Mark V Spitfire.The Mark IX also introduced the two-stage Rolls-Royce Merlin engine with a supercharger, needing a four bladed propeller to absorb and use the increase in power. These two aircraft were first scrambled to meet a Ju 86 on 11 September 1942, with one of the new Spitfires reaching an altitude of 45,000ft, but unfortunately without success.
The following day, 12 September, saw the action depicted in the painting. PltOffPrince Emanuel Galitzine, one of the pilots selected to fly on the unit was perhaps an unlikely RAF officer.
Born in Russia in 1918 to an aristocratic Imperial family, he was brought to England as a baby the following year when his family were lucky to escape from the aftermath of the final Russian revolution. The family bought the country house which is today better known as Whipsnade Safari Park. Brought up in England, he joined the RAF as a fighter pilot, and by this time at the age of 24 was an extremely experienced Spitfire pilot, hence his selection for the special unit. Galitzine’s first flight in one of the modified Spitfires was only on 10 September, when he climbed up to 43,000ft. As an interim high altitude fighter, the cockpit was not pressurised – Galitzine’s only protection against the intense cold was an electrically heated flying suit, and his survival rested on that and the primitive [by modern standards] oxygen mask and supply.
To give the reader some idea of the altitude, Galitzine reported that on this flight, he had clear visibility from Dover to Plymouth, and he could clearly see almost the whole of the North French coast as far as Belgium and Holland! Later that day, Galitzine made a second flight again to over 40,000ft, primarily to test the cannons, which could have a propensity to jam under the extremely cold conditions at that altitude. Early on the morning of 12 Sep-tember, Oberfeldwebel [Flight Sergeant] Horst Goetz and his observer Leutnant Erich Sommerof the Hohenkampfkommando [High altitude bombing squadron] took off from their base in Beauvais, northern France, on a bombing mission similar to one a few days earlier when they tracked over Southampton en route to Aldershot. That day, the solitary bomb was dropped just north of Camberley, and the Ju 86R returned unscathed to Beauvais.
At 0927, Galitzine was scrambled in his Spitfire from Northolt as soon as the Ju 86R was picked up on radar climbing over northern France. Galitzine circled over Northolt to gain altitude to 15,000ft , and also to await instructions from the ground controller for the likely heading of the bomber. The Ju 86 was tracked flying up the Solent and over Southampton at 40,000ft, by which time Galitzine had matched the altitude and course, and was still climbing to intercept at an altitude above the Ju 86R.
Although Goetz and Sommer had been in similar situations before with Spitfires trying to catch them, they had been at an altitude way above the normal Spitfire’s ceiling of 36,000ft. This one was different – to their horror, they realised that the lone pale blue Spitfire was closing fast, at their joint altitude of 42,000ft, and was going to climb above them to intercept in a dive. This was for the Germans a nasty surprise – they had been untouchable until now, and emergency evasive action was called for. Goetz jettisoned the bomb just north of Southampton, poured on full nitrous oxide to gain maximum power from the engines and tried to outclimb the diving Spitfire. Galitzine was by now above the Ju 86R at 44,000ft and started his attack run. Goetz depressurised the Ju 86R’s cabin, as just one stray round into the cabin would cause the whole aircraft to explode. From 200 yards, Galitzine opened fire with the two Hispano cannon for three seconds, believing he had scored hits on the Ju 86, ing he had scored hits on the Ju 86, which dived into a patch of high altitude mist. At the end of the first burst, the port Hispano cannon jammed, causing the Spitfire to yaw into a sideslip every time Galitzine fired the remaining starboard cannon. Galitzine made four attacks over 45 minute period, frustrated each time by both the cannon misfiring and the Spitfire’s screen misting up from the Ju 86R’s condensation trails. Those 45 minutes must have felt like an eternity for the two Germans as they tried desperately to evade every determined attack.
Realising that after a sortie that had lasted an hour and a half his fuel was dangerously low.Galitzine had frustratingly to break off the attack as the Ju 86 slipped into another patch of mist. He managed to land at Tangmere with barely enough fuel to roll down the runway, where he was refuelled and made his way back to Northolt.
Goetz and Sommer were unsure what damage their aircraft had sustained, so gingerly made a landing at Caen where they inspected the aircraft prior to returning to Beauvais. Surprisingly, there was only one cannon shell hole in the Ju 86R, and that was in the port wing. Both aircrew must have smiled ruefully at each other as they realised they lucky escape. If the cannon shell
had hit the cabin, if [unknown to them] Galitzine’s port cannon hadn’t jammed…
After this mission, the Luftwaffe realised that their high altitude aircraft were never to be invulnerable, therefore the Hoehnkampfkommando was disbanded and the aircraft and personnel were moved to other duties. This must have infuriated Goering from a Luftwaffe perspective, and also Goebbels from the propaganda angle. Although small coastal ‘tip and run’ nuisance raids by fighter-bombers continued occasionally, most daylight raids ceased almost immediately, mainly as a result of these two days of combat. Supermarine very quickly finalised the development of the Mark VI and VII Spitfire high altitude fighters, extending the wing spans and giving the pilots much-needed pressurised cockpits, thus producing a bespoke high altitude fighter that went into service fairly shortly. Perhaps unusually, all three combatants survived the war to forge successful and happy new lives for themselves. Eric Sommeremigrated to Melbourne, Australia, while Emanuel Galitzine and Horst Goetz remained in their respective home countries. Over thirty years later, Emanuel and Horst met up at a Luftwaffe reunion and relived the combat – later, they spoke by telephone to Eric Sommer in Australia. All agreed that their new found friendship was made all the more special due not only to their cameraderie as pilots, but perhaps more so to a jammed cannon.

A flamethrower is a mechanical device designed to project a long controllable stream of fire.
Some flamethrowers project a stream of ignited flammable liquid; some project a long gas flame. Most military flamethrowers use liquids, but commercial flamethrowers tend to use high-pressure propane and natural gas, which is considered safer. They are used by the military and by people needing controlled burning capacity, such as in agriculture (e.g. sugar cane plantations) or other such land management tasks.
Military flamethrowersFlamethrowers date from the Byzantines, who used rudimentary hand-pumped flamethrowers on board their naval ships in the early 1st century AD (see Greek fire). Infantry flamethrowers were of limited range and capacity; the larger naval flamethrowers were used to set alight enemy ships' sails and rigging. The composition of the flammable chemical projected with these primitive flamethrowers is not definitively known.
Modern flamethrowers were first used during the trench warfare conditions of World War I; their use greatly increased in World War II. They can be vehicle mounted, as on a tank, or hand-carried by infantry.
The flamethrower is in two elements: back pack and gun. The backpack element usually consists of two or three cylinders. One cylinder holds compressed, inert propellant gas (usually nitrogen), and the other two hold flammable liquid - typically petrol with some form of fuel thickener added to it. A three-cylinder system often has two outer cylinders of flammable liquid and a central cylinder of propellant gas to improve the balance of the soldier who carried it. The gas propels the fuel liquid out of the cylinder through a flexible pipe and then into the gun element of the flamethrower system. The gun consists of a small reservoir, a spring-loaded valve, and an ignition system; depressing a trigger opens the valve, allowing pressurized flammable liquid to flow and pass over the igniter and out the gun nozzle. The igniter can be one of several ignition systems; a simple type is an electrically-heated wire coil, another used a small pilot flame, fueled with pressurized gas from the system.
The flamethrower is a potent weapon with great psychological impact upon unprepared soldiers, inflicting a particularly horrific death i.e. being burnt alive. This has led to some calls for the weapon to be banned. It is primarily used against battlefield fortifications, bunkers, and other protected emplacements. A flamethrower projects a stream of flammable liquid, rather than flame, which allows bouncing the stream off walls and ceilings to project the fire into blind and unseen spaces, such as inside bunkers or pillboxes. Typically, popular visual media depict the flamethrower as short-ranged, of a few effective meters (due to the common use of propane gas as the fuel in flamethrowers in movies, for the safety of the actors), but contemporary flamethrowers can incinerate targets at 50–80 meters (165–270 feet) distance from the gunner; moreover, an unignited stream of flammable liquid can be fired and afterwards ignited, possibly by a lamp or other flame inside the bunker.
Flamethrowers pose many risks to the operator. The first disadvantage is its weight, which impairs the soldier's mobility. Flamethrowers are very visible in the battlefield, and so operators become prominent targets for snipers. Historically, flamethrower operators were rarely taken prisoner, especially when their targets survived the impacts of the weapon; in reprisal, captured flamethrower users often were summarily executed. Finally, the flamethrower's effective range is short in comparison with that of other battlefield firearms, i.e. for effective use, flamethrower soldiers must approach their targets closely, risking exposing themselves to close enemy fire.
The risk of a flamethrower soldier being caught in the explosion if enemy gunfire hits the flamethrower is exaggerated in Hollywood films.
The best way to minimize the disadvantages of flame weapons was to mount them on armoured vehicles. The Commonwealth and the United States were the most prolific users of vehicle mounted flame weapons; the British and Canadians fielded the Wasp (a Universal Carrier) at the infantry battalion level, beginning in mid 1944, and, eventually, incorporating them to infantry battalions. Early tank-mounted flamethrower vehicles included the 'Badger' (a converted Ram tank) and the 'Oke', used first at Dieppe; the most famous flame tank was the Churchill Crocodile.
The concept of throwing fire has existed since ancient times. Greek fire, extensively used by the Byzantine Empire, is said to have been invented by Kallinikos (Callinicus) of Heliopolis, probably about 673. The flamethrower found its origins also in the Byzantine Empire, employing Greek fire in a device of a hand-held pump that shot bursts of Greek fire via a siphon-hose and piston, igniting it on a match on its way out, in a manner like its modern versions. Greek fire, used primarily at sea, gave the Byzantines a great military advantage against enemies such as the Arab Empire (which later adopted the use of Greek fire). An 11th century illustration of its use survives in the John Skylitzes manuscript.
The Pen Huo Qi (Fire Throwing Machine) was a Chinese piston flamethrower that used a substance similar to gasoline or naphtha, invented around 919 AD during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period. Advances in military technology aided the Song Dynasty in its defense against hostile neighbors to the north, including the Mongols. The earliest reference to Greek Fire in China was made in 917 AD, written by the author Wu Ren-chen in his Shi Guo Chun Qiu. In 919 AD, the siphon projector-pump was used to spread the 'fierce fire oil' that could not be doused with water, as recorded by Lin Yu in his Wu Yue Bei Shi, hence the first credible Chinese reference to the flamethrower employing the chemical solution of Greek fire. Lin Yu mentioned also that the 'fierce fire oil' derived ultimately from China's contact in the 'southern seas', Arabia (Dashiguo). In the Battle of Langshan Jiang (Wolf Mountain River) in 932, the naval fleet of the Wenmu King of Wuyue defeated the fleet of the Kingdom of Wu because he had used 'fire oil' (huo yóu, 火油) to burn his fleet; this signified the first Chinese use of gunpowder in warfare, since a slow-burning match fuse was required to ignite the flames. The Chinese applied the use of double-piston bellows to pump petrol out of a single cylinder (with an upstroke and downstroke), lit at the end by a slow-burning gunpowder match to fire a continuous stream of flame (as referred to in the Wujing Zongyao manuscript of 1044 AD). Documented also in later Chinese publications, illustrations and descriptions of mobile flamethrowers on four-wheel push carts appear in the Wujing Zongyao, written in 1044 AD (its illustration redrawn in 1601 as well).
Although flamethrowers were never used in the American Civil War, the use of Greek Fire was threatened, and flamethrowers have been in use in most modern conflicts since then.
The English word 'flamethrower' is a loan-translation of the German word Flammenwerfer, since the modern flamethrower was first invented in Germany. The first flamethrower, in the modern sense, usually is credited to Richard Fiedler. He submitted evaluation models of his Flammenwerfer to the German army in 1901. The most significant model submitted was a man-portable device, consisting of a vertical single cylinder 4 feet (1.2 m) long, horizontally divided in two, with pressurized gas in the lower section and flammable oil in the upper section. On depressing a lever the propellant gas forced the flammable oil into and through a rubber tube and over a simple igniting wick device in a steel nozzle. The weapon projected a jet of fire and enormous clouds of smoke some 20 yards (18 m). It was a single-shot weapon - for burst firing, a new igniter section was attached each time.
WWIIt was not until 1911 that the German army accepted the device, creating a specialist regiment of twelve companies equipped with Flammenwerferapparaten. Despite this, the weapon went unused in World War I until June 25, 1915, when it was briefly used against the French. On July 30, 1915, it was used against British trenches at Hooge, with limited, but impressive, success.
The weapon had drawbacks: it was cumbersome and difficult to operate and could only be safely fired from a trench, so limiting its safe use to areas where the opposing army trenches were less than 20 yards apart, which was not a common situation. Nevertheless, the German army continued deploying flamethrowers during the war in more than 300 battles, usually in teams of 6 flamethrowers.
The flamethrower was extensively used during World War II. In 1940, the Wehrmacht first deployed man-portable flamethrowers against Dutch gun emplacements and fortifications. Subsequently, in 1942, the U.S. Army introduced its own man-pack flamethrower.
The vulnerability of infantry carrying backpack flamethrowers and the weapon's short range led to experiments with tank-mounted flamethrowers (flame tanks). The British hardly used their man-portable systems, relying on Churchill Crocodile tanks in the European theatre. These tanks proved very effective against German defensive positions, and caused official Axis protests against their use. There are documented instances of German units executing, out-of-hand, any captured British flame tank crews. In the Pacific theatre, Australian forces used specially converted Matilda tanks known as Matilda Frogs.
BritishThe British World War II army flamethrowers, "Ack Packs", had a doughnut-shaped fuel tank with a small spherical pressurizer gas tank in the middle. As a result, some troops nicknamed them "lifebuoys". See description and image and Flamethrower, Portable, No 2.
The Germans made considerable use of the weapon (Flammenwerfer 35) during their invasion of western Europe, especially in Holland and France, against fixed fortifications, but it soon fell into disfavor, except in reprisal operations. Yet, on the Eastern Front its battlefield and "scorched earth" tactic uses continued until the end of the war. See the Stroop Report link on article of the 1943 Warsaw Ghetto Uprising.
WWII German army flamethrowers tended to have one large fuel tank with the pressurizer tank fastened to its back or side. Some WWII German army flamethrowers occupied only the lower part of its wearer's back, leaving the upper part of his back free for an ordinary packful of supplies.
As the Third Reich was deteriorating at the end half of World War II, a smaller compact flamethrower known as the Einstossflammenwerfer 46 was produced due to the lack of materials and funds.
USAIn the Pacific theatre, the US Marines used the backpack-type M2A1-7 flamethrower and M2-2 flamethrowers, finding them especially useful in clearing Japanese trench and bunker complexes. In cases where the Japanese were protected from the flames by deep caves, the burning flames often consumed the available oxygen, suffocating the occupants. The Marines still used their infantry-portable systems even with the arrival of adapted Sherman tanks with the Ronson system (c.f. flame tank). The U.S. Army rarely used flamethrowers in Europe, though they were available for special employments.
Some Soviet Army flamethrowers had three backpack fuel tanks side by side. Its user could fire three shots, each emptying one of the tanks. The mechanism used to empty the tank is not a pressurised gas cylinder but a black powder cartridge on each fuel cylinder. This type is used in two versions: a) Light Infantry Flamethrower (ΛΠΟ)LPO-50 and in a heavier version dragged on two wheels and remotely triggered b) Heavy Infantry Flamethrower (ТПО)TPO-70
The ROKS-1 flamethrower was a stationary device used for the defense of strongholds. It could rather be categorised as a projecting incendiary mine. different from the LPO and TPO flamethrowers the ROKS had only one cylinder with fuel.
Unlike the flamethrowers of the other powers during World War II, the Soviets were the only ones to consciously attempt to camouflage their flamethrowers, The ROKS-2 flamethrower which was done by disguising the "gun" as a standard issue rifle, such as the Mosin Nagant, and the fuel tanks as a standard infantryman's rucksack, to try to stop snipers from specifically targeting flamethrower operators.
Flamethrowers have not been in the U.S. arsenal since 1978, when the Department of Defense unilaterally stopped using them. They have been deemed of questionable effectiveness in today's combat and use of flame weapons is always a public relations issue due to the horrific death they inflict. They are not banned in any international treaty the U.S. has signed. Thus, the US decision to remove flamethrowers from its arsenal is entirely voluntary.
The USSR developed a rocket launcher specifically for the deployment of incendiaries - the ΡΠΟ-80 (RPO) or Rocket-launched Infantry Flamethrower. It has similarities to the famous RPG rocketlaunchers but the warhead is much bigger (approx. 2-3 liters Napalm) thus reducing the effective range.
Private ownershipIn the United States, private ownership of a flamethrower is not restricted by federal law, but is restricted in some of its states, such as California, by state laws (c.f. California Health and Welfare Codes 12750-12761, Flamethrowing Devices) CA H&W Code on line
In California, unlicensed possession of a flame-throwing device — statutorily defined as "any non-stationary and transportable device designed or intended to emit or propel a burning stream of combustible or flammable liquid a distance of at least 10 feet" H&W 12750 (a) — is a misdemeanor punishable with a county jail term not exceeding one year OR with a fine not exceeding $10,000 (CA H&W 12761). Licenses to use flamethrowers are issued by the State Fire Marshal, and he or she, may use any criteria for issuing or not issuing that license that he deems fit, but must publish those criteria in the California Code of Regulations, Title 11, Section 970 et seq. CA Regs (CA H&W 12756) (definitions and scope, administration, enforcement and penalties)
The book Breath of the Dragon: Homebuilt Flamethrowers, by Ragnar Benson describes homebuilt construction of flamethrowers for private ownership.
Other usesFlamethrowers also are used by people needing controlled burns, as in agriculture and other land management tasks. In ripe canebrakes of sugar cane, they are used to burn up the dry dead leaves which clog harvesters, and incidentally also kill any lurking venomous snakes. Flamethrowers are also sometimes used for igniting controlled burns of grassland or forest, although more commonly a driptorch or a flare (fusee) is used.
Flamethrowers were used against Africanized honey bee (killer bee) swarms in the 1970s.
U.S. troops used flamethrowers on the streets of Washington D.C. to clear snow (as mentioned in a December 1998 article in San Francisco Flier), one of several clearance methods used for the surprisingly large amount of snow that fell before the presidential inauguration of John F. Kennedy. A history article on the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers notes, "In the end, the task force employed hundreds of dump trucks, front-end loaders, sanders, plows, rotaries, and flamethrowers to clear the way".http://www.hq.usace.army.mil/history/vignettes/vignette_7.htm The massive effort by city, military, and others even included 1700 Boy Scouts. The work paid off the next day, January 20 1961, with JFK's successful inauguration.
Flamethrowers are also used for special effects, such as concerts and special events; particularly, the band Rammstein's lead singer Till Lindemann is known to use a flamethrower during live performances.
Converted Flamethrower 40s, which fire a 0.5% solution of CN gas in water, have been used as riot control weapons.
In fictionDue to the flamethrower's spectacular effect it is often used in action movies and video games, even where in reality it would not be used.
Hollywood seems to have no difficulty getting hold of flamethrowers; however, for the safety of the actors, they often are filled with propane gas instead of liquid fuel. This produces a visually similar (though rarely identical) flame effect, but without the spray of fuel, splatter of flame, dense smoke, and area effect of the genuine fuel. In the Omaha Beach sequence of Saving Private Ryan, the exploding flamethrower was filled with enough propane gas to burst the containers and produce spectacular flames. The explosion seen occurred seconds after the tank burst - it was caused by blowing vaporized propane onto the explosion (the cloud is visible in the finished film as a billowing white cloud in front of the actor).

The Taegeuk bow is a Korean traditional bow that was made by Korean bowyer, Mr. Cho Yeong-seok. It is a characteristic of Korean traditional bows in that shooting uses only the force of the handle called a jumtong. The Taegeuk bow was also made the same way,
so when shooting, the vibrations are not transferred to the body because the jumtong absorbs them. | weapons_science |

During the heyday of attempts to use nuclear explosions for peaceful purposes, the Soviet Union set off a blast in 1979 in the Yunkom coal mine in Ukraine to clear the mine of explosive methane. Water will fill the mine if pumping is stopped, which is what the Russian occupiers want to do. There is concern that water will leach radionuclides into drinking water aquifers. Work done on simulated material like that from the nuclear explosion suggests that extremely low levels of radionuclides, well below the health limits, will be leached. | weapons_science |

A method for hiding American ships from enemy radar is presented. Enemy radar-guided missiles would be less successful in attacking a ship protected by this system.
In both World War I and World War II, similar vulnerability was regularly demonstrated. In World War I, German submarines easily sunk many ships with their torpedoes. In World War II, submarines and their torpedoes again took a heavy toll, but aircraft bombing also was very effective.
Modern warships are built with extremely thick steel hulls, to make them more resistant to such attacks. However, rocket based weapons are MUCH more sophisticated, as well. The example of the single Exocet missile seems clear. That one small missile disabled the ship. What would have happened if 40 such missiles has been launched at that ship? Or at a convoy of ships? Or at a battle fleet? The extremely rapid movement of the rockets and the rather slow movement of the massive ships makes them rather like sitting ducks!
Some American aircraft apply some aspects of Stealth technology. Very angular shapes is quite important in dealing with specular reflections. Think of seeing a car with a curved chrome bumper on a sunny day. This kind of surface creates almost entirely specular reflection. No matter where you are, you see a tiny but very bright reflection of the sun which gets to you. Now, imagine if that bumper didn't have that continuously curved surface, but rather just flat surfaces with sharp edged corners. Now, nearly anywhere you are, you will not see ANY reflection of the sun off of it! It turns out that the boxy shape tends to make ALL the reflection go to one very specific direction, with almost no specular reflection going anywhere else. You may have noticed some flat truck windshields that almost blind you with the reflection, but only when you are at a very specific position.
As applied to radar, as long as the specular reflection is all reflected in ANY OTHER DIRECTION than back to the originating radar station, no specular echo will ever be received, and so the object will be essentially invisible on radar. I had a big, old, ugly, 1972 Ford Van, that I considered modifying as an experiment around 1984. On the front of it, I considered mounting a giant flat (specularly-reflective) metal mirror, with the lower edge farther forward than the top. So it would have sort of looked like a sloped-back wedge from the front! This would have specularly reflected ALL radar signals upward into space, with NONE ever being reflected back to a radar gun. This would have made the big vehicle effectively invisible on Police Radar! (Essentially, only exposed surfaces such as the tires could still reflect radar signals back to a radar gun, but that reflection would be very minimal, comparable to the radar echo off of a dog-sized object. Most radar guns have a sensitivity adjustment where such weak echoes are ignored.)
Of course, as soon as the mirror got even a little dirty, it would then ALSO create DIFFUSE reflection, which WOULD cause a relatively weak echo to get back to an originating Police Radar, so the premise is impractical there. American stealth aircraft have angular shapes for the exact same reason as described above. They deal with minimizing diffuse reflections by using special coatings (paint) to absorb rather than reflecting those wavelengths. By combining the two types of technologies, those aircraft suppress both specular and diffuse reflection, and therefore accomplish virtual invisibility on enemy radars.
It is briefly necessary now to discuss an entirely different subject. There are some industrial sound-protection safety earmuffs, that are high-tech. Instead of just trying to muffle sounds that approach a person's ears, these products have a microphone to sample the incoming sounds. They then appropriately amplify AND INVERT the signals. It might first seem that the user would then be subjected to TWICE the loudness of the incoming sounds, but that is not true. By precise synchronization of the artificially created inverted signal, the result is that the two loud sound sources cancel each other out, eliminating virtually all of the sound! These hearing-protection devices have become quite common in industry, with current prices of a few hundred dollars.
These products are based on a very well established Physics concept called "destructive interference of waves" Two (traveling) wave patterns which are identical and exactly out of phase with each other will cancel each other out, leaving nothing remaining!
The proposed Ship Stealth invention is based on the same concept. Instead of sound waves, we would be dealing with radar waves, which are equally subject to being cancelled out by the addition of an inverted duplicate signal. The main difference is that sound waves travel relatively slowly (at the speed of sound) while radar waves travel about a million times faster, at the speed of light. Other than that, the situations are quite similar.
The result of this is an almost complete cancellation of the echo from the actual ship structure! The radar installation that sent out the radar beam would NOT receive an echo with which it could become aware of the ship's presence!
If the extended boom antennas (possibly with the electronics immediately there, for faster processing) extended out 20 feet beyond the ship body, then around 20 nanoseconds would occur before the incoming radar signal actually hit the ship body, and another 20 nanoseconds would pass while the radar echo traveled back to where the antenna was. At that time, the artificial (inverted) radar echo should begin to be emitted, to cancel out that echo.
For any real computer, with real circuit wires and antenna, this rapid of a response may not be possible. Signals cannot move in wires any faster than the radar signals and echoes move through the air. The computer processing time would almost certainly make it so that at least the first small part of the radar echo would not be able to be cancelled and so it would actually be reflected back to the radar installation. However, as long as the bulk of the echo was nulled out, the received echo would appear to be the echo from a very small boat, rather than from a large ship.

Perfection is a very subjective thing, calling on one to interpret the item and find all of it’s qualities to be perfect. As we know, Glock has some qualities that don’t suit everyone. I find many people complaining about grip angle, looks, the trigger, and so forth. If Glock was perfect, these things wouldn’t be an issue for people. So, Glock simply is not perfect; however, it is one fine machine for it’s intended purpose.
Gaston Glock designed the pistol for military use, and it’s very popular with several militaries around the world. However, our very political process of picking new equipment for our own military has left the Glock in second place. Never the less, our own army of law enforcement agencies and officers have been persuaded into the Glock platform for various reasons. Initially people were afraid of a gun without a safety, even if it was no different from the revolvers of yesteryear. Now the Glock is heralded as one of the most reliable handguns ever made.
Even though the Glock is perfect to some, there is this ever persistent need to customize the Glock and to make it ones own. This need is basic human nature. We try and be different to show off we aren’t just some no name in the crowd. But what we do with our guns can sometimes affect their reliability, even if we don’t realize it at first.
Being a Glock armorer and a firearm instructor I’ve seen a few issues with Glock hanguns, and I’ve seen some just run like a top. What I find interesting are the people who buy a Glock because it’s going to run no matter the conditions, yet they start modifying parts that directly affect the reliability of the gun. Changing springs to clean up the trigger is probably the biggest modification that causes issues with the guns. After market guide rods that are metal, reduced power firing pin and/or recoil springs. These all can cause reliability issues. Maybe you won’t see it today with your brand new top of the line factory ammo, but start shooting marginal reloads, or cheap/military ammo from other countries and you’ll see issues. Light primer strikes, FTF/FTE, and so forth. These are all user induced problems in their quest to make the gun that’s already perfect, perfect.
So, why is Glock perfect if it’s not? It’s perfect in that it does it’s intended role with near 100% reliability. Many people, including myself, would trust a new-in-box unfired Glock with their lives without testing it first. Of course I shoot all my guns extensively before trusting them, but if there was one gun that I had to choose that was new to work the first time I pulled the trigger, it would be a Glock.
Of course I modify my Glocks too. What sort of gunnie would I be if I didn’t do some modifications myself? First off, I use the 3.5lbs connector. I find that this, along with some careful polishing of certain parts, allows for a very smooth trigger pull without the factory “stacking” effect. I also use the extended magazine release, aftermarket night sights, grip plug, and on my none RTF2 models I use grip tape or the grip decals. If I was running any Gen4 Glocks I would not use the grip tape.
The one item that could cause an issue is the grip plug that goes into the empty channel near the magazine well. This was designed to allow debris and water to drain from the pistol, which is particularly important in cold climates where the pistol will get wet inside. You don’t want a large ice cube forming inside of your handgun. However living in California, I certainly don’t fear having anything freeze inside of my gun.
All of my modifications keep the gun 100% reliable, but simply add to it’s function. Certainly I don’t need any of these items, but I find them useful in the way that I shoot. To me, the Glock with these changes, is the perfect gun for 99% of the scenarios I’ve run through my head. This doesn’t mean I don’t enjoy shooting my 1911′s, because I do very much. But they do not follow the same reliability patterns as my Glocks. | weapons_science |

How to Choose the Best AR 15 Rifle
In the modern era, there are many types of rifles that people use in their day-to-day activities. But choosing one for a specific purpose can be difficult and time-consuming.
The AR 15 is a popular rifle among gun enthusiasts. However, if you want to choose the best AR 15 rifle for yourself, it is helpful to know what features you might want in your rifle. These include: accuracy, user-friendliness, price point and reliability.
When it comes to user-friendliness, there are two factors that should be considered: how to use the weapon and maintenance requirements. The first factor depends on preference; some people like using firearms that require minimal maintenance while others like guns with more complicated systems.
In the US, there are a lot of AR 15 rifle uppers available in the market. But AR-15 uppers receiver is a specialized part. For starters, the uppers need to be compatible with the lower receiver so that they can function as a complete weapon system.
AR-15 rifles have been popular due to their ease of use and versatility. It is a civilian assault rifle that has been utilized by law enforcement and military personnel for over half a century now. So it’s not surprising that many manufacturers have started producing AR 15 upper receivers in recent years as well.
The introduction will talk about how AR 15 rifles are used by civilians and military personnel today, what makes them different from one another and why people might want to purchase an AR 15 upper receiver for themselves or their gun collection. | weapons_science |

The lawsuit claims that the leading manufacturer of the devices misled federal authorities about their intended purpose and marketed them to thrill-seeking gun enthusiasts who wanted the experience of firing a fully automatic weapon that is otherwise greatly restricted under federal law.The lawsuit was filed Friday in Clark County District Court in Nevada; it has three named plaintiffs — all victims of the shooting — and seeks class-action status. It’s not the first time that the Brady Center has filed a lawsuit after a high-profile shooting, seeking to hold gunmakers and others in the industry accountable.Slide Fire Solutions, the Texas-based company that is considered the top manufacturer of “bump stocks” did not return an email message sent Tuesday through its Facebook page seeking comment. Its voicemail box was not accepting messages and the company has not commented since the shooting took place.The devices were originally intended to help people with disabilities who have arm mobility issues fire a semi-automatic long gun. It replaces the stock and pistol grip and allows the weapon to fire continuously, mimicking a fully automatic firearm. Bump stocks were found among the weapons used by Stephen Paddock as he shot from a Las Vegas casino high-rise Oct. 1, killing 58 people at a concert and wounding hundreds. | weapons_science |

However, if you are new to archery and hunting, you need to learn a few things about different types of bows.
There are various categories of bows and arrows available at hunting stores in Michigan. The length and shape of the bow significantly affect its performance and ease of use. Learn the different types of bows used in modern hunting or sports.
This bow is designed in such a way that the end of the limbs curves away from the shooter while the center curves towards the shooter. The design makes the bow very powerful; hence, does not require the shooter to apply a lot of strength. For beginners, it is advisable that you start with a simple bare bow consisting of simple elements, such as an arrow rest, bow limbs, a string, and a riser for balance. After advancing your skills, you can start using advanced recurve bows with more sophisticated features.
This category was manufactured in the 1960s and is mechanically operated using pulleys, cams, and cables, which help the shooter hold heavy draw weights when working at full draw. Compound bows are preferred due to their lightweight quality and high speed. They are made from fiberglass, magnesium, aluminum, or carbon. This bow is best suited for the skilled hunter since it comes in plenty of configurations, sizes, and styles to suit various types of games or sports.
This bow is made from curved arms that are designed to face away from the shooter. Materials used in the manufacturing of reflex bows are put under high heat and pressure to increase elasticity. This helps the bow to have a longbow height and length thus improving its performance. This bow shoots at a speed higher or equal to the recurve bow.
This is among the oldest bow types that date as far back as the 1200s. Made from wood, this bow has a simple design and has a length almost or equal to the archer. It lacks arrow rests or sights, making it one of the hardest bows to aim. Additionally, it is heavier and has a relatively low speed compared to recurve or compound bows. That said, it requires a lot of practice to master its use, making it suitable for skilled hunters who love challenges.
The guide is a good starting point for anyone interested in archery, but it is not all that you need to learn. When purchasing, consider factors such as your body strength, height, projectiles to be used, the accompanying arrows, and specific use, among others. You may also choose bows made from materials such as wood, fiberglass, composite, solid glass, and carbon.
That means you cannot just choose a bow by yourself if you are a novice. Instead, get a professional to train you on the usage of various bows before buying. Buy your archery hunting equipment only from trusted and authorized supplier to ensure quality and reliability. | weapons_science |

These artifacts consist of swords, axes, scimitars, single and double bows, slings, arrows, spears, sticks, shields, chariots, maces, knives, daggers, and trumpets.
Tutankhamun is depicted in battle in miniature panoramic scenes painted upon a wooden chest found in the tomb.
Before the New Kingdom, weapons were limited to a few types and forms. They consisted of sticks, knives, daggers, axes, single bows, arrows, and spears. These were made of wood, copper, and flint.
However, after the Hyksos invasion and the many war campaigns of tuthmosis the Third, several advances in making weapons were introduced. For example, blades and grips made from hard iron and bronze were substituted for copper. The double bow, horse-drawn chariot, and other items were adopted from west Asiatic regions.
These weapons helped to change the balance of power in the ancient Near East in favor of Egypt. | weapons_science |

Could you have a look at the sentences below and say say whether they sound English enough? or is it too 'Runglish'?
Thank you in advance))
"For a bad shooter, the best pistol is of no use, since it will never hit the target. On the other hand, there will be hardly more use of the world’s best shooter should you give him a defective, blank shooting gun. In a real battle, shooting skills and proficiency alone are not enough to hit the enemy, but it also takes a good rifle charged with a ball cartridge".
It's not a common use of the forum, but since the passage is short, I'll give you my suggestion for "minimal" corrections. (Obviously if you have a lot of correction to do, then the appropriate thing to do would be to advertise it as a job, but I don't suppose anyone will mind too much doing one paragraph for free...)
"With a poor marksman, even the best pistol is of no use, since it will never hit the target. On the other hand, the world's best marksman will be barely of more use if you give him a defective gun that shoots blanks. In a real battle, shooting skills and proficiency alone are not enough to hit the enemy. It also takes a good rifle loaded with a cartridge of bullets."
Note that I'm suggesting this is a more or less "minimal" set of corrections: you could improve the style a little bit more probably, even though what you have isn't actually wrong. (E.g. "of little use" is a bit more elegant than "of no use", as is "not sufficient" rather than "not enough".)
I assume that "cartridge of bullets" is what you meant -- if there is actually such a thing as a "ball cartridge" then fair enough, I've just never heard of it and I know that in various languages "ball" and "bullet" are the same word (sorry, my Russian's not that good so I don't know if that's actually the case in Russian). That said, I find this last sentence a bit bizarre -- I'm not sure what else you'd load a rifle with. Maybe you can just say "a good, loaded rifle" unless the technical details of the cartridge are somehow important to what you're saying...? | weapons_science |

The brand new Blaser AR8 is not only an absolute must for all Blaser fans but, at the same time, an elegant and powerful air rifle for all ambitious shooters.
The Blaser AR8, made by DIANA, is equipped with the new gas piston technology making it a powerful air rifle which is reliable and accurate at the same time. Why? Because the gas piston technology provides more consistent levels of energy and less vibrations. This goes hand in hand with the extraordinary design of the AR8 which has been modeled on the extremely successful hunting rifle Blaser R8.
Taking the Blaser R8 as the inspiration when developing the stock for the air rifle, the designers at DIANA went for a two-sided option. As a result both, left- as well as right-handed shooter can expect an optimal adjusted stock for their needs. The ergonomic perfection of the stock gives the shooter the decisive advantage for a higher accuracy in every aiming position. In each situation the hand and the arm are completely relaxed. An additional eye-catcher is the sight of the AR8 based on original Blaser R8. Fitted with a wheel, the sight can be reliably adjusted whenever needed. Given the unique combination of its features, the AR8 recommends itself for all hunters and shooters alike.

With it's beautiful, deep staining & black chequering, the CZZ 455 American Red is an attractive rifle, which, along with CZ's record for reliability, makes this a superb rifle for both target & hunting situations.
16" screw cut barrel
In the new generation of the CZ rimfire rifles we have managed to combine experience accumulated over the years of development and production of this type of firearms with traditionally high quality, long service life, accuracy and modern trends. This new model of the CZ 455 rimfire rifle is based on classical design, but incorporating a lot of improvements affecting most of the main parts of this rifle. First of all we have answered wishes by many of our customers for having an action enabling interchangeability of barrels. Adopting a new knowledge when making the barrel’s muzzle, which we have acquired in the course of development and manufacture of firearms designed for hunting at long distances, allowed shortening of barrel while retaining traditionally high accuracy.Also the stock witnessed placing of small changes in order to achieve an even greater komfort during shooting. This was attained by optimizing the grip ergonomics, among others, in the pistol grip area. A new method of connecting barrelled-action with the stock is now dominated by only two screws with improved interface securing simpler tightening and superior appearance.Incorporating new features can be seen also on the sights. The rear signy enables adjustments for elevation and windage and the new shape of front signy base facilitates precise aiming. The use of cold hammer forged barrel has been again retained as well as the receiver made from a single billet of highquality steel. Traditionally uncompromising care for details is projected to each unit of this new rifle and will make envy of other shooters be it at target shooting or while hunting.

Russia is ready to use nuclear weapons in conventional combat operations and not only as a retaliatory measure, but also to "sober up" the enemy. The criteria for its application turned out to be much softer than ever publicly recognized by Russian leaders, writes the Financial Times, which got secret papers of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation.
The files, which describe the principles of using tactical nuclear weapons, scenarios for their use during military exercises and contain presentations for officers of the Navy, were provided to the newspaper by Western sources. Although they date back to 2008-2014, the approach described in the files corresponds to the current military doctrine of Russia, which, in particular, can be seen from the practice of using nuclear weapons during exercises, including in recent years, experts interviewed by the FT are sure.
Unlike strategic nuclear weapons aimed at the main enemy – the United States, tactical ones (can be delivered on land, by aircraft and sea-based missiles) are intended for use in Europe and Asia. Including against China: some exercises describe its use in the event of an attack by Chinese troops on Russia. The capabilities of nuclear forces in the Far East are maintained and tested to date, including with the help of missiles that reach only Chinese territory.
The classified documents describe the following criteria for the use of tactical nuclear warheads. According to the United States, Russia has about 2,000 pieces.
General principles (considered as a combination of factors in which losses among Russian troops "clearly lead to their inability to stop major enemy aggression" and create a "critical situation for the security of the Russian state"):
– landing of enemy troops on the territory of Russia,
– defeat of units protecting border areas,
– imminent attack with conventional weapons.
More specific criteria:
– destruction of 20% of submarines carrying strategic ballistic missiles
– destruction of 30% of nuclear submarines, three or more cruisers, three military airfields
– simultaneous strike on the main and reserve ground command centers.
Also, the Russian Armed Forces should be able to use tactical nuclear weapons for a wide range of purposes, including “deterring other states from using aggression […] or from escalating armed conflicts,” “stopping aggression,” preventing defeat or loss of territory, and “increasing the effectiveness” of the Navy.
For the first time, such documents were publicly available, Alexander Gabuev, director of the Carnegie Berlin Center for the Study of Russia and Eurasia, told the FT:
"It can be seen from them that the operational criteria for the use of nuclear weapons are quite soft, if the desired result cannot be achieved with the help of conventional weapons.
The question of the possible use of tactical nuclear weapons in Ukraine was repeatedly raised during 2022, when Russia could not quickly capture Kiev and other important cities, was forced to withdraw troops, suffered major defeats near Kharkiv and Kherson and hastily annexed the territories of four occupied Ukrainian regions. Vladimir Putin and especially Dmitry Medvedev have repeatedly threatened a nuclear strike, including in the event of an attempt to liberate "new territories".
The blackmail worked, according to the Chief International Correspondent of The Wall Street Journal, Yaroslav Trofimov, who has been covering events in Ukraine since the beginning of 2022. The United States several times in the first year of the war did not dare to supply Ukraine with weapons that could radically turn the tide of the conflict because of the risks of a nuclear strike, according to Trofimov's recent book, he was citing Ukrainian and American officials, military and intelligence officers.
The files at the disposal of the FT are aimed at preparing Russian military units for action in a situation where the authorities may decide to use nuclear weapons, says Jack Watling, a senior researcher at the Royal United Services Institute.
The criteria described in the documents continue to apply – this can be seen from the exercises that Russia conducted both before and after the outbreak of the war in Ukraine, says William Alberque, the Director of Strategy, Technology and Arms Control at the International Institute for Strategic Studies. Moscow believes that tactical nuclear weapons can be used to prevent an armed conflict from escalating into a large-scale war, including with the participation of the United States. Its use at an early stage or the threat of use should “sober up” opponents, explains Alberque, who previously worked for NATO and the US Department of Defence:
“In their view, this can best be achieved by using what they call the 'metered' use of nuclear weapons at a much lower level of confrontation to prevent escalation.” | weapons_science |

That can prove a huge mistake because the holster connects your weapon to you and is vital for comfort, safety, and accessibility in times of need.
Consider the Material
A holster is more than just an accessory; it’s the bridge between your gun and your readiness for self-defense. That’s why it’s essential to take the time to find one that suits your needs and provides safe, comfortable wear.
Choosing the right holster also means selecting a suitable material. Consider materials like Kydex or leather, depending on what type of gun you carry and where. Both are durable and offer a variety of features that make them ideal for concealed carry.
The best holsters are made from sturdy materials that protect the trigger and allow for a smooth draw. Some are even designed to prevent your firearm from accidentally discharging. Other factors to consider include passive retention and active retention.
Consider the Style
One of the most important factors regarding a concealed carry holster is getting a full combat grip on your weapon upon drawing. If your holster doesn’t offer this, look elsewhere.
Leather holsters take a while to break in and can wear down quickly. However, they are comfortable to carry and allow you to access your firearm quickly.
A simple holster is an excellent pocket carry choice. It’s available for many firearm models, including those with lights and lasers. It also has built-in pouches for extra mags and a knife. This holster is made from premium center-cut steer hide and can be adjusted to fit your specific gun.
Consider the Weight
Regarding concealed carry holsters, weight can be a significant factor. A loaded gun in your holster will weigh down on the holster, the belt, and your clothing. This can cause discomfort over time and can also lead to physical injuries if you’re not careful.
A quality holster will be sturdy enough to support the weight of a loaded firearm without becoming too bulky or heavy. This is especially important with inside-the-waistband (IWB) holsters. Look for a holster that uses a solid, reinforced belt clip and a plastic shell that maintains pressure.
If you need more clarification on a holster, consider looking for one with a return period. This way, you can test it and ensure it’s a good fit before purchasing.
Consider the Fit
The fit of the holster is crucial for concealed carry. A poorly fitted holster could cause the firearm to become loose, making it more challenging to draw from and potentially dangerous.
The size and style of your gun will also affect how easily it fits in a holster. For example, a large-frame revolver may be more challenging to conceal than a semi-auto with a much slimmer profile.
Consider how you plan to wear your holster, including the time of year and specific activities. For example, if you’re going to be hiking, you might want an outside-the-waistband or OWB holster. On the other hand, you can carry an inside-the-waistband or IWB if you’re travelling.
Consider the Price
When choosing a concealed carry holster, you need to consider the price. It is essential to find one that is affordable for you. However, it is also important to remember that a holster’s price should not be the sole factor in your decision-making process. The best holster for you will be functional, comfortable, and effectively conceal your firearm.
A holster that is comfortable to wear will allow you to practice your draw from it without flagging yourself or drawing unwanted attention from others. To test a holster for comfort, try wearing it in a few different situations, such as sitting, driving, walking, etc. Then, make your final choice. | weapons_science |

Explore the next section of the cool Vanguard Class review and master your character in Ballistic Overkill online game! We will start off with some crucial weapons. They are:
It can be chosen when you begin to enjoy Ballistic Overkill game. It has a 35-round clip. Meanwhile, it is handy enough as a starting gun for the newbie.
It’s a Blackguard with a classic clip, a reflex sight, and a grenade launcher.
Stalker is the earliest weapon in Ballistic Overkill game that includes an active secondary function. Hit E key to swap. The launcher can cause 120 damage when it directly hits. The grenade can blow up. But, its cooldown is faster than the regular one.
Different from the Blackguard’s holographic sight, Stalker’s reflex sight will offer a wider field of view. Furthermore, you can feel more pleasant when you aim down. It is more accurate.
It has a slightly higher damage. It will take the same amount of shots to get rid of the target.
In Ballistic Overkill steam game, it is a long-ranged assault rifle. The scope has the biggest zoom level. The downside is the recoil, taking a couple of seconds to modify, particularly if aiming down. Unless you are not good at aiming for the headshot, the recoil of Strife will finally kick up to the prey’s head. Do not forget the scope!
Besides, it will go with a laser to fire accurately. But, it can help others detect your hiding place.
It is better than the F2P counterpart. It has a slower fire rate than most of the assault rifles. It creates a stronger damage and it is not difficult to handle the recoil. Moreover, it is successful in reaching the intended opponent in Ballistic Overkill game.
It comes with an iron sight that you can skip.
According to the Christmas update, the headshot multiplier was increased to x1.8.
It has an underbarrel shotgun that can destroy annoying shadows. It gets a slightly higher recoil than the previous gun.
Those who are attacked will not know whether they are killed from a standard round or from an underbarrel shotgun.
Note! Remember to toggle its function each time you respawn in the playfield of Ballistic game. The ammo drop circle will be wide for a split second when you turn it on. Unfortunately, you can get troubles if you choose it whilst shooting the rifle round.
It is provided with a 50-round clip with a scope. It is the best gun of Vanguard to prevent bad cases in Ballistic Overkill game. Their cons consist of the mobility and the reload time. You can select Barrage skill when you decide on Widower. You can be seen because of the bullet trail.
It is the Executioner’s ranged twin, with a slightly larger clip size, the same iron sight.
To the Christmas update for Ballistic Overkill online, you can shoot as fast as Executioner although it has the lower headshot multiplier.
Aside from Assault Rifles, the Vanguard class in Ballistic Overkill game is also offered several other guns.
It is fitting at the early stage of Vanguard in Ballistic Overkill game. It has the best mobility. Not only that, its fire rate is very formidable. Warning! It’s a double-barrel.

Scientists and war weapons experts on both sides developed the most sophisticated war arsenals to increase their chances of winning the war.
Here are some of the most bizarre and deadliest weapons used in WWII.
1. PROXIMITY FUZES
During the war, anti-aircraft guns did not have advance fire control computer systems installed on them, so it was extremely difficult to hit a moving target.
Thereafter, someone came with an idea of installing tiny radars into the anti-aircraft shells.
The shells equipped with radars could then be set to explode once the target is close enough to be detected by it.
The VT or variable time fuze contributed a lot in helping the U.S to survive their battle against the Axis and also the kamikaze tactics of the Japanese Imperial Forces.
2. SUICIDE BOMB DOGS
Nazi leader, Adolf Hitler’s Infantry invaded Soviet Russia by using German “Panzer” tanks in 1942.
The Russians have actively used military dogs since 1924, and during the Second World War, they ‘transformed’ their dogs into anti-tank mines by strapping explosives around their canine soldiers’ bodies.
While training the dogs, they were starved and let loose on stationary Soviet tanks with food hidden under them.
Once the dogs were underneath the tank, they were trained to pull a detonator cord using their teeth.
However, most dogs failed to execute the task in the actual war zone, and would usually turn around and run toward their Russian handler, only to be shot and killed on the spot.
3. M-1 GARAND RIFLE
At the beginning of WWII, the United States Armed Forces were still using the old bolt-action rifles made in the 19th century.
After awhile, they invented the M-1 Garand rifle, a semi-automatic that fires bullets at a much higher rate compared to the old bolt-action rifles.
With the existence of the M-1 rifles, the U.S infantry were able to produce remarkable rates of fire during the war.
The M-1 rifle was given to every U.S soldier and it gave them more advantage to win against their enemies.
4. HITLER’S GUSTAV GUN
Hitler was so eager to invade France that he demanded the creation of a new weapon that could easily pierce the defense of the French Maginot Line, which was the only major physical barrier standing between him and the rest of Western Europe.
According to a documentary called “Top Secret Weapons”, German steelmaker and arms manufacturer, Friedrich Krupp A.G. began to develop Hitler’s Gustav gun in 1941, the year after the fall of France.
The four-story, 155-foot-long gun, which weighed 1,350 tons, shot 10,000-pound shells from its mammoth 98-foot barrel.
The gun’s size was not only its source of strength, but also its downfall.
The only way the massive weapon could be transported was via rail system. Since the gun became an easy target for Allied bombers flying overhead, the project was later abandoned within a year.
5. THE ATOMIC BOMB
More than 150,000 people were killed instantly while injuring another 200,000, when the U.S dropped two atomic bombs in the cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan in August 1945.
Until today, the effects of the deadly radiation from the atomic bombs can still be seen on the surviving Japanese people who experienced the effects of the Atomic bombs first hand.
The atomic bomb was considered as the ultimate weapon of destruction during WWII, and nothing could beat a weapon that was able to take the lives of 150,000 people in an instant at that time. | weapons_science |

Stearman E-75 Built as a private venture by the Stearman Aircraft Company and later bought by Boeing, the E-75 Kaydet was widely used as a trainer during the Second World War and became a very popular, inexpensive general aviation airplane after the war. Today, more than 1,000 are still flying across the globe.
H-21 Shawnee/Workhorse The de Havilland Canada DHC-1 Chipmunk is a tandem, two-seat, single-engined primary trainer aircraft designed and developed by Canadian aircraft manufacturer de Havilland Canada. It was developed shortly after the Second World War and sold in large numbers during the immediate post-war years, being typically employed as a replacement for the de Havilland Tiger Moth biplane. The Chipmunk was the first postwar aviation project conducted by de Havilland Canada. It performed its maiden flight on 22 May 1946 and was introduced to operational service that same year. During the late 1940s and 1950s, the Chipmunk was procured in large numbers by military air services such as the Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF), Royal Air Force (RAF), and several other nations' air forces, where it was often utilised as their standard primary trainer aircraft. The type was produced under licence by de Havilland in the United Kingdom, who would produce the vast majority of Chipmunks, as well as by OGMA (Oficinas Gerais de Material Aeronáutico) in Portugal.
C-53D "D-Day Doll" It was built at the Douglas factory in Santa Monica, California, and is one of 159 C-53Ds and was delivered to AAF on July 7, 1943. The C-53 was assigned to the 434th Troop Carrier Group and was stationed at various locations (Alliance Field, NE, Baer Field, IN, Fullbeck, UK, and Welford Park, UK) before arriving at Royal Air Force (RAF) Aldermaston, UK in March 1944.
RAF Chipmunk Designed in the late 1940’s, the CH-21 was an evolutionary step in tandem rotor design and a direct antecedent to the CH-46 Sea Knight and CH-47 Chinook still in the US inventory today. Precious few of these aircraft are still flying today.
PBJ Mitchell The North American B-25 Mitchell is an American medium bomber that was introduced in 1941 and named in honor of Major General William "Billy" Mitchell, a pioneer of U.S. military aviation. Used by many Allied air forces, the B-25 served in every theater of World War II, and after the war ended, many remained in service, operating across four decades. Produced in numerous variants, nearly 10,000 B-25s were built. These included several limited models such as the F-10 reconnaissance aircraft, the AT-24 crew trainers, and the United States Marine Corps' PBJ-1 patrol bomber.

The Albatros, the standard and advanced jet trainer for Warsaw Pact nations, carries over 2,000 lbs. of under-wing ordnance, including bombs, rocket pods and gun pods (the centerline point mounted a twin-barreled 23mm cannon with 180 rounds).
WACO A leading design in its time, WACO (pronounced WAH-CO) aircraft are once again being produced in small numbers according to the original design but with safer, more modern systems installed in place of the old.
Globe Swift The birthplace of the Swift was Ft. Worth, TX, in early 1940. The very first low wing, two-place retractable gear aircraft called “The Swift” was built as what would be called today a “homebuilt,” by Mr. R.S. “Pop” Johnson of Ft. Worth. Mr. Johnson was reputed to have taken the trial delivery of a Culver Cadet, measured its vital organs and returned it to Culver, no purchase. Then he built himself an aircraft and began looking for a financier and builder. The Globe Aircraft Company stepped forward and built the Swift. And Mr. Johnson became an employee of Globe.
L-10 Electra The Electra was Lockheed’s first all-metal and twin-engine design by Hall Hibbard. The prototype made its first flight on 23 February 1934. The Electra was produced in several variants, for both civilian and military customers.

Do interceptor wings protect helicopter wings from attacks by fighters I used to think they did but when I invaded a c3 and I attacked the air defenses I didn't notice any extra losses when I attacked a helicopter wing without destroying all the interceptor wings..also what ratio do you all use for interceptor to helicopter I use a one to one but I hear you should put more emphasise on interceptors is it because helicopters cant as effectively be taken out by ground forces so you only need to protect them from the air with interceptors I don't know let me know what you guys think is the best defense emphasise on air defense please

I think you should read more info about taking C3s.
First off, you dont want to attack wings directly.
Ints will respond to most attacks but not all. Helis respond to different things. They dont really defend each other but try to stop whatever is attacking your targets.
Its probably true that a bias to ints over helis is best, but really it all depends on what you expect to get attacked with. Check the weapons documents for a breakdown of what each weapon attacks and damage it inflicts. | weapons_science |

There are many issues of contention that are usually there between the different countries over the world. Dealing with these issues has always been very important for very many countries because, it contributes to world peace. Although there are different regulations and directions given by different international bodies, there are a number of countries that do not comply.One of the countries that has not complied is Iran since it continues to produce different kinds of ballistic missiles that continued to be tested. Ballistic missiles are usually very dangerous and therefore, it’s the reason why necessary steps have to be taken. Although there are directives that are given against that, Iran has always continued to produce the plastic missiles and has continued to test them.A number of these missiles have also been shown to contain different kinds of messages to different countries like Israel. Because of this, the big countries have always tried to do everything possible to ensure that they are cutting such kinds of operations. These countries have been able to use different methods to ensure that Iran has stopped the production of the missiles but to no avail.
One of the major threats of such countries is that, the nuclear weapons could easily be delivered using the ballistic missiles.Countries such as the United States of America, France and Germany even addressed letters to the United Nations Gen. Council against such issues. Some of the complaints that they were able to make include, the fact that these missiles are able to deliver the nuclear weapons and therefore they are dangerous. A lot of calls have always been made to ask the country to stop order to refrain from such activities although there are if use of the language not being very legally binding. These are just signs of how dangerous the ballistic missiles have always been considered to be in the reason why such actions are being taken.
Iran has also been known to the making missiles that are able to fire for very much longer range. The threat against the actions of Iran has always continued to grow although it has never thrown any kind of ballistic missile to any country. Iran is also one of the countries that has been known to be a sponsor of terror by supplying some of terrorism groups with weapons. It has also been known to supply some short-range devices with capability of missiles to countries like Yemen to different fighter groups.

Brother Richard J Gatling was born in Hertford County North Carolina, September 12 in 1815. He studied medicine however he did not practice as a physician. In the early 1860’s he was involved with his father in inventing farm machinery. One of the first being a machine for sewing cotton seed and then a machine for thinning cotton plants. He is probably best known for his repeating guns. The very first was made in 1862. TO follow this a dozen guns where made and used in struggles in virginia. In 1865 he produced an even more effective gun, this was adopted by the united states army. The guns were made in austria and england. the early versions fired 250 rounds per minute and improved later versions an incredible 3000 rounds per minute. Brother gatling was a member of center lodge number 23 in indianapolis indiana. He left this world in 1903 at the age of 85 years.

Oh, well.
I should probably still be busy writing about the further adventures of (redacted) and the (redacted), but I've been doing an exceptionally lousy job of concentrating today, so I figured I'd blog a bit. After all, when I get off the computer I have to clean kitty liter boxes and a bathroom, do dishes, work out, and generally do stuff. Yuck.
When I wrote this post I came pretty close to simple dismissing the defensive value of rifles. Especially in a home defense context. Hell, had the winds of hopen'change not gotten to blowing, I might never have revisited the topic. Now, however, I think I would be remiss in not doing so.
A little background...
By nature, temperament, experience, training, whatever, I'm a dyed in the wool rifleman. One of my fondest memories of the Navy is the first time I had an M-14 handed to me. Yeah, it was old, poorly maintained, and the sights were off, but I loved that thing. It was the first semi-automatic rifle I ever fired that wasn't a .22. Quickly learned that I had a bit of native ability with it too, when I finally got the sights zeroed. Then came the M-16, three variations of it, the M-4, M-25, EBRed M-14, M-82, and a few others I can't remember. I learned that if I did such and such, just so, breathed just right, and squeezed the trigger just like so I'd hit my target. Anywhere from CQB range to 1200 meters (I have hit target on a range at 1700, but that was more the exception than the rule).
As a fighting instrument, the modern rifle is a first class tool, not soon to be replaced.
Then I got out of the Navy. Still loved rifles, but in thinking about the times and places I'd actually needed them, I couldn't imagine needing one simply to defend myself. Still wanted to get a whole list of them, and had no problem with anyone else doing the same, but I prioritized on what I considered useful for defense. So I set about transforming myself into a pistolero and shotgunner, and, discouraged by the price tags of the rifles I wanted, simply tried not to think about them.
Had I kept my brain in the on position, I would have paid attention to the store owners who successfully protected their property during the L.A. riots or the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina when armed citizens (before being forcibly disarmed by their 'protectors') had to fight off roving bands of looters. Are pistols and shotguns useful in such situations? Of course, but they are not ideal and when your life, or that of a loved one, is on the line, you want the absolute best tool for the job you can get.
When confronted with civil disorder and the breakdown of basic services, a fighting rifle is one of your best tools. The shotgun remains highly desirable as does the pistol, but unlike normal home defense you may have to engage multiple attackers at open distances. This is where a self-loading, magazine fed rifle is worth its weight in gold.
Apparently I am not the only one to think so, either. Ar-15s, Kel-Tecs, and any other rifles matching the description are flying off the shelves faster than gun stores can restock. Heck, last time I tried to price rifles, there weren't any that fit the bill. Can't say I blame folks, I just hope they remembered to buy plenty of extra magazines and ammo and make sure they can use the things.
I highly recommend to anyone who hasn't done so already to get themselves a defensive rifle. Yes, you'll probably be fine without one, heck you probably won't ever be in danger from rioters, looters, etc, but that is not the way I recommend approaching personal safety. Especially these days. * And no, I'm not at all recommending people take the approach of forming into impromptu fire teams and patrolling for trouble, with their rifles, if the fecal matter does hit the rotary air impeller. ** If trouble does come your way, however, you'll be far better prepared to survive it if you have a rifle you know how to use with plenty of ammo loaded and ready to go.
I won't go into recommending this rifle or that with what accessories. I could spend a week discussing options and still not cover everything, not to mention I'll be wrong by at least one person's reckoning. Nature of the beast and diversity of opinions and choices is a feature, not a bug.
Instead, since I currently have no rifles that fit the bill (remember I got laid off a while ago?), I'd simply share my plans, such as they are, for acquisitions. I just have to finish this book and get that sweet, sweet, vile mammon.
Our first two rifle purchases will be AR builds. I've never owned an AR, but I've had plenty of trigger time with them and have helped other assemble them from parts. Final decision has not been made on parts yet though. I'll try not to geek out to much in the descriptions...
For the wifey, a carbine length either M-4 style or flat top. Currently leaning towards a flat top with flip-up iron sights co-indexed (for the uninitiated, that means they line up with the other sighting gear) a good red dot sight, probably EOtech holosight, and a flip-in/flip-out magnifier for reaching out just a little bit further, foregrip, and a collapsible stock. Yeah, really good red dot sights will bump the total price by 300-800 dollars, but is totally worth it if you have someone good at short to intermediate range rapid acquistion and fire. Such as the wifey. Might also go with a laser and flashlight, as this will be intended for closer range.
For self, a full length AR probably A4 style, but with a Magpul stock. I'll go with a higher end upper, probably DPMS, fully floated, blah, blah barrel and a bipod. Haven't decided on glass (scope) yet, but whatever it is will likely cost a fortune. Heck, I'll probably even get a light amplification scope. I'm looking to make a 600-800 meter rifle. The odds against needed that kind of reach are astronomical, but my house has great fields of fire and I'd hate to have a chance to head trouble off and not be able to take it.
Finally, the value of the .22 rifle should not be discounted. Sure, I'd hate to have to rely on one to stop an attacker, but they serve plenty of other functions and the small, cheap (relatively, ammo just ain't cheap these days) ammo means you can, and should, have lots. Like in the range of thousands of rounds.
A .22 can be used to take small game such as rabbits as a supplemental food supply. In a situation where you have someone unskilled at arms, as long as they're reasonable unlikely to shoot you, then can blast away at bad guys without wasting more valuable ammo. Not only might they actually stop an attacker, they'll serve as improvised suppressive fire. The .22 can also be used, if a situtation actually lasts a while, to train others in firearms without using your primary ammo. Heck, if all else fails, a .22 rifle with ammo in it is worth more than your bare hands and even the greatest, empty, rifle in the world.
Finally, I advise not just having lots of ammo, but lots of magazines loaded. Having 32,000 5.56 hollow points is great, but if you have to reload magazines after the second one, you're probably in a bad place. Also of consideration, though not of primary concern, is ammunition commonality. If things go bad and stay that way for awhile, will you be able to find more ammo? If you are using a 5.56, .308 win, 7.62x39, .30-06, etc, yeah probably, but if you're slinging a 7.62x54R, you may have some trouble.
*I'm not one of the doomsayers who expects are entire civilization to soon collapse or any 'long night' style scenario. The worst I expect disturbances of a few hundred (maybe a thousand or two) square miles that last from two or three days to a couple weeks. Plenty bad, but not the end of the world.
**I'll probably be visiting the topic of what one should and should not be doing in such a situation, even assisting law enforcement in restoring order, but not encouraging reckless action. | weapons_science |

“Our position,” he said, “is absolutely clear: anywhere in the world, anyone who brings terror and death must be held accountable.”
Meanwhile, a 27-year-old woman and her baby were among a dozen people wounded in a Russian attack in Ukraine’s Kherson region, the regional governor said Saturday.
United Nations investigators are in the Ukrainian village of Hroza, where a Russian missile strike this week killed 52 people during a wake for a slain soldier being held at a café.
The team leader of the investigators said in a statement, “My initial conversations with local residents and survivors indicate that virtually all those killed were civilians and that the target itself, a busy village cafe and store, was also clearly civilian.”
Among the dead were the village leader, a couple who left behind four children and the dead soldier’s wife and son.
Russia’s new silo-based intercontinental ballistic nuclear missile system is nearly combat-ready, Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu said Saturday, after he inspected the manufacture of Sarmat missiles, one of Russia’s most advanced weapons.
“Re-equipping the Strategic Missile Forces with this system, which will become the basis of Russia’s ground-based strategic nuclear forces, is a priority in ensuring the country’s defense capability,” Shoigu was quoted as saying.
His comments reflect Russia’s escalating nuclear rhetoric in its standoff with the West over the war in Ukraine.
Known to NATO military allies by the codename “Satan,” the Sarmat missiles reportedly have a short initial launch phase, which gives little time for surveillance systems to track their takeoff.
On Friday, the Russian parliament speaker, Vyacheslav Volodin, said lawmakers will reevaluate whether to revoke the ratification of the Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty, or CTBT, a global nuclear test ban.
Volodin’s statement came after Russian President Vladimir Putin warned that Moscow could consider rescinding the ratification of the international pact since the United States never ratified it.
The 1996 treaty prohibiting “any nuclear weapon test explosion or any other nuclear explosion” anywhere in the world has been signed by 187 nations but not ratified by eight of them, including the United States.
The U.S. did not ratify the treaty, but it has observed a moratorium on nuclear weapon test explosions since 1992 that it says it will continue to abide by.
“It would be concerning and deeply unfortunate if any state signatory were to reconsider its ratification of the CTBT,” Comprehensive Nuclear Test-Ban Treaty Organization Executive Secretary Robert Floyd said in a statement.
There are widespread concerns that Russia could move to resume nuclear tests to try to discourage the West from continuing to offer military support to Ukraine.
Ukraine and Russia launched several strikes against each other Saturday.
Russia’s defense ministry said the country’s air defense systems had “detected and destroyed” a Ukrainian S-200 anti-aircraft missile deployed in an attempted attack on the Crimean Peninsula.
Reuters, which reported the development, could not verify the statement by the Russian defense ministry, which did not say where the missile was shot down.
Ukrainian shelling killed one person in the Russian border region of Belgorod, according to regional Governor Vyacheslav Gladkov.
A party official in the Russian-held town of Nova Kakhovka in Ukraine’s Kherson province was killed by a car bomb Saturday, the provincial governor said.
Vladimir Malov, executive secretary of the town branch of Russia’s governing United Russia party, died in a hospital, Vladimir Saldo said in a post on his Telegram channel, calling it “a terrorist attack,” meaning one orchestrated by Ukraine.
There was no immediate comment from Kyiv.
Russia, meanwhile, launched a missile strike on Ukraine’s Odesa region overnight. Local officials say four people were wounded in the attack that was launched from Russian-occupied Crimea.
Russian forces downed a Ukrainian drone near Moscow early Saturday, according to Tass, a Russian state news agency.

After all, they are dangerous when loaded, with the chances of accidentally shooting someone.
That’s why, for safety reasons, one would unload the gun and make sure that there is no ammunition in it. This will help prevent any injuries that might happen, may it be in the house or other areas.
But have you ever wondered about what a loaded gun looks like?
Read on as I show you more about telling if a gun is loaded or not.
How to Tell If Your Gun Is Loaded
Knowing if your gun is loaded is crucial because you should never leave a loaded gun unoccupied or in your gun safe.
Though your gun may be locked and on display, there will be times children or thieves may break into it, which will end up with accidents and difficult situations to deal with. Or, you may be toying with a handgun without knowing if it’s loaded.
There will also be other times you come face to face with someone with a handgun, unknowing if it is loaded and if you have a chance to fight or stay safe.
Any firearm pointed in your direction should be assumed to be loaded. Period.
Unfortunately, this is a bit difficult unless you are able to see the rounds or dismantling the gun. If you have good eyes, you can see it through the “loaded chamber indicator” in some guns.
Telling if a gun is loaded isn’t easy to do. What may be better would be to see if the gun is unloaded. You can do this through clearing the gun. Drop the magazine and open its slide, ensuring that the slide lock is engaged while doing so.
When using a revolver, open it to see the cylinder, making sure that the firearm is pointed to a safe direction and the fingers are off the trigger.
Another way to check your gun is through a press check, pulling the slide a bit back. But when handling a gun, no matter who says it’s unloaded or not, it’s best to consider it loaded until it’s proven wrong.
After all, you will never know what will happen and many accidents always have the excuse of “I didn’t know that the gun is loaded!”
Always make sure that you follow the proper gun safety habits when handling a gun, even if it’s just displaying the gun or cleaning it. Also, make sure it is out of the reach of children and safely locked in a gun safe!
While it may be difficult knowing about how to tell if your gun is loaded, you can tell if it’s unloaded, making it easier to stay safe and prevent any accidents. Now that you know about how to tell if your handgun is loaded, start picking up on gun safety habits today.
If you have any questions or would like to share your experiences, then comment down below. I would love to hear what you have to think. | weapons_science |

So it is important to arm them and provide them with the latest technological and advanced machine guns and ammos that would help in not only their safety but also safeguards the country. It is because of them that we are all able to stay happy and comfortable in our places and hence more than anything, it is them who will have to be aided with the modern guns and firearms.
It is not just the military that uses the guns and weapons but also the general public for their safety and protection but with a license. With the increased use and demand for ammos, buying guns online has increased to a great extent. The websites that serve the customers with this facility try to explain all the features in the form of a full description which explains everything in the form of words to the viewer. Some of the best hand guns, pistols and even rifles can also be bought online.
From backup firearms to personal protection, the best that would suit all needs is the ruger lcp. It is a very compact one that can be easily and safely concealed and kept hidden from the enemy force. It comes with a rugged construction that has an alloy steel slide and is considered one of the high-performing weapons. This comes in different sizes and designs and is made to look and feel light. This makes its handling very easy for the user.

Handgun Diagnostic Target
This target actually tells you what you did wrong when you missed. Just aim at the red dot in the center and when rounds don’t land in the bull’s eye, the part of the target you did hit says what you likely did wrong to put it there.
Start by using the target from a benchrest or prone position from five yards. If you land them all in the red, move further back. If some rounds land outside the outer ring, move closer. Once you consistently land rounds in the red, move further back and work some more. Once you master the target from a supported position out to 20 yards, switch to a two-handed standing position and then one-handed standing.

Could You Take Bin Laden In One Shot?
Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you heard that Osama Bin Laden was killed by Navy SEALs over the weekend. He always sent others to do his dirty work, and was a coward right until the end. He even attempted to use a woman as a human shield right before being shot in the head.
Download a free Osama target and print it up. The area within the red lines is known as the ‘lights out’ area or ‘T Box’. If hit here, a person will be dead before they even have a chance to pull a trigger, thrust a knife blade, or do anything else.
After taking your successful shot, fill in the distance, gun used and caliber in the space provided at the top and show your friends by e-mail or on Facebook that you have what it takes to turn Osama’s lights out in one shot!

I have dedicated my time to gather and sieve through information about hunting. You can check out huntingresearch.org to learn more about me and my goals.
You definitely need good skills for hunting and not anyone can just hop on to the field and successfully harvest game. However, getting the right equipment is equally as important. Long range hunting requires specialized equipment.
It is important to consider all the elements of a firearm when you choose your long range rifle. Average, mass produced sports rifles are not up to the task of long range hunting. They are too light to maintain a steady aim when there are strong winds and their barrels flex too much.
When you look for a good long range rifle, you are looking for a heavy and stiff barrel. The barrel should be of high quality and typically heavier than most factory barrels. It should also be made of stainless steel.
A good rifle also needs a good trigger. The trigger needs to be smooth and reliable. A good pull weight for a hunting rifle is 3 pounds but 2 pounds could be suitable for long range hunting. This enables precise shooting while maintaining a good feel of the trigger so that you are sure you have control of the rifle. Any lighter than 2 pounds can make the trigger difficult to control when you have cold fingers.
The stock is also an important element of the rifle. Stock design can either make or break a long range hunting rifle. A good stock can enhance shooting accuracy through stability and recoil taming qualities. A long range stock will generally be bulkier and heavier than lightweight hunting options. This is so that a solid platform for shooting is provided.
The Remington 700 Sendero SFII is great for setting up on big game at long ranges. It is available in 5 different calibers and comes with a 26 inch, heavy-contour and fluted stainless barrel. If you are on a budget, however, and looking for a rifle that can serve in many situations, including long range hunting, the Winchester XPR Hunting Rifle is a good choice to look into.
Caliber selection is critical for hunting at long ranges. A long range hunter will need a cartridge that provides sufficient energy and speed to travel at a long distance. When selecting a good calibre, it is important to look out for minimal recoil, aerodynamics, maximum accuracy and perfect striking energy.
Low recoil is usually less than 8 foot pounds, medium recoil is from 9 to 12.5 foot pounds and heavy recoil is over 12.5 foot pounds. 6mm and 6.5mm cartridges are typically low-recoil, high-ballistic efficiency cartridges while 7mm offerings start to bring in more recoil.
The shape of the bullet is also important because certain bullet shapes perform better at a long range with a more aerodynamic shape. BC that stands for Ballistic Coefficient is all about the shape of the bullet. Each bullet has a BC number and you can find this on your box of ammo. Use the BC number to calculate the trajectory of your shots. The best long range loads use heavier bullets with higher BC.
The 308 Winchester is nice and powerful, allowing you to easily shoot a target over a thousand yards. The 300 Winchester Magnum, on the other hand, is more effective at 500 yards and a little beyond. It provides a great compromise between power, recoil management and range without really damaging game. It is a great starting point for long range hunting as it is affordable and has plenty of high quality rifles chambered in it.
A rangefinder is a device that sends out a laser beam to bounce off your target back to you when you press the button. It will then read the measurement internally and provide you accurate distance between you and your target.
Obtaining a quality rangefinder is an integral part of a successful long range hunt and an absolute must. This is because knowing the exact distance to your target is a necessity for long range hunting. Without this data, shooting at long range accurately is basically impossible.
Getting a good rangefinder gives you the confidence to make an accurate shot even at a great distance. You can identify exactly how far away your target is, allowing you to take a sure shot. This increases your chances of hunting down your target because the battle of the mind has already been won.
The ProWild 2 hunting rangefinder is a recommendable rangefinder for long range hunting. It is the newest innovation of famous brand TecTecTec in the marketplace and it does not disappoint! It comes with everything you need, featuring a shock-resistant case, complimentary CR2 battery, a wrist strap and microfiber cleaning cloth. It has a +/- 0.3 yard measurement capability and accurate readings up to a 540-yard range. It is also reasonably priced.
There are dozens of scopes out there dedicated to long range shooting. However, long range shooting and long range hunting are different. Long range shooting can range out to thousand yards while long range hunting is below that range. This is good news because you do not need to spend thousands of dollars for a good scope.
A good optic is necessary to provides images with the clarity you need to make a good gauge of the target and its specific details. This allows you to locate your target from far distances where you may not with your naked eye. You simply need to adjust your line of sight to have a clear shot at the target. You can also use this as a tool to identify the species and size of game.
In looking for a good optic, you will want to get a high quality one. This is so that the images produced are clear, allowing great detail to be observed. This means that it should be cable of absorbing sufficient light, so that the images produced are bright even in low light.
You should also ensure your scope has the ability to retain the adjustment after a shooting session, the ability to “maintain zero”. If we lose the zero, we lose the ability to correctly set the adjustment of the scope. This is important in long range hunting because you do not have sighting shots like in standard long range matches. High-end scopes are usually capable of maintaining zero but lower priced ones may face uncertainty.
An example of a good hunting scope is the Leupold Mark AR Model. It has a variety of magnifications with 6 to 8 power that is completely sufficient for long range hunting. This optic is high in quality and produces crystal clear images.
For taking a long range shot, you will need to rest your rifle on top of something. Hence, hunters invest in a shooting rest. This will help to stabilize your gun and avoid shaking hands, thus improving accuracy when firing. It can also reduce the amount of recoil when you pull the trigger.
Many hunters choose to use a fold up bipod as compared to a monopod or tripod. This is because it is easier to set up than a tripod while more stable than a monopod. Alternatively, sandbag rests can be used. However, it must be firm and solid.
Skill really matters when it comes to long range hunting. A long range hunter is said to require the skill and training similar to that of military snipers. This is because a simple mistake can cause you major problems. A flinch can move a bullet as much as ten inches or result in a wounded animal instead of a dead one. A trigger pull at a slightly off angle can turn what would be a lethal shot at 300 yards into an all-day tracking job at 600 yards.
Long range shooting is like juggling because you have many things going on at once and you have to balance them all. During the process, it is important to get into a comfortable position and relax. You do not want to let panic cause you to leave out anything. Make sure your rifle is pointing naturally towards the target and that crosshairs are in the right position. If you need to realign the rifle, move your whole body starting with the legs rather than twisting your torso.
You need to be in line with the scope and rifle as well. Make sure that the retile inside the scope is perfectly horizontal. When looking through the scope, do not take the shot unless your view is completely clear. Any shadow or tunnel effect can cause parallax error and through your shot off.
When you squeeze the trigger, you should use the centre of the pad of your index finger. Your fingernail should be parallel to the trigger guard. Make sure you do not blink or flinch when you squeeze the trigger because it can have a huge impact on hitting the target. In order to minimize the effect of recoil, you should place your cheek firmly engaging the stock with your head placed upright when you look through the sight.
Don’t Blame Your Equipment
Many people have spent thousands on new gears and rifles when the problem was in fact their fundamentals. If you find yourself in a situation with a 1 MOA rifle set up with good quality optics and ammunition yet have issues getting 1 MOA out of it, the problem is likely not your equipment.
Try starting at ranges of about 100 yards and learning to be consistent where the wind will have little effect. Once you have mastered it, go to 200 and keep upping the distance. The ability to shoot consistently at a short range will be the first step to getting long range success. If you still cannot quite get the adequate accuracy, seek help from an experienced long range shooter to help you set up your rifle. | weapons_science |

Infographic: North Korea's space launch vehicles have a theoretical range of 15,000km.Only a few South American countries would be safe under this scenario, but experts doubt the missiles could carry a nuclear payload this far.
The farthest land point from North Korea appears to be the town of Mar del Plata in Argentina.
But the design of the new Hwasong-15 could allow it to carry larger warheads, negating the need for miniaturisation.
Finally, North Korea also has an array of space launch vehicles, which it has used to put satellites into orbit.
North Korea has threatened Australia with "disaster" for aligning itself with the US against the country's reclusive regime.
Its most recent missile test — its largest yet — highlights its determination to be able to strike anywhere in the world. North Korea has a large arsenal of reliable short-range ballistic missiles.
But disturbingly, submarine-based launches are much harder to anticipate than a land-based launch.
North Korea's intermediate-range ballistic missiles have a maximum range of 4,500 kilometres.The missile in this category with the longest range is the ER Scud. That puts all of South Korea within range, as well as Osaka, Japan's second-largest city.Of particular threat to South Korea are missiles known as the Scud-C Ma RV and Scud-B Ma RV.Under current leader Kim Jong-un's reign, North Korea has tested these short-range missiles 50 times.Only one of these tests has failed under the current leader, signalling their operational readiness.Another ICBM test was conducted on November 29, 2017, heralding the arrival of a new class of ICBM — the Hwasong-15The missile flew higher and for longer than any other previous North Korean missile test, and gave it a range of around 13,000 kilometres. But experts have noted that the payload used in the test may have been lighter than before. | weapons_science |

The initial use for them is definitely not for amateur photographers trying their hand at aerial shots, but today, anyone who can afford to dish out some money can have this technology, so we might as well know more about the device that’s all the rage today. Here are some drone facts that you didn’t but should know about these amazing gadgets.
Drone Facts that You Should Know
Scroll down for video
The first armed drones were created to help capture Osama bin Laden Former US Pres. Bill Clinton‘s administration shut down an operation to kill al Qaeda leader Osama Bin Laden in 1998 in Afghanistan because he had little confidence with in-the-cruise missiles. Back then, collateral damage estimated 300 casualties. After this, however, the 9/11 Commission noted, “After this episode Pentagon planners intensified efforts to find a more precise alternative.”
In 2000 and 2001, the US Air Force had to struggle to reconfigure a Hellfire anti-tank missile to fit onto a surveillance drone. Just a week before the 9/11 attacks, the National Security Council agreed that the Predator Surveillance Drone is not yet ready to be deployed.
The first known killing by armed drones, however, happened just a couple of months later, when Predator targeted top al Qaeda commander Mohammed Atef in Afghanistan the following November.
Drones have a tendency to crash
On December 4, 2011, an RQ-170 Sentinel surveillance drone crashed in Iran. The US official involved in the program said that the lost data link caused the crash, as well as another malfunction that wasn’t specified. Two weeks later, an unarmed Reaper drone also crashed at the end of a runway in Seychelles.
A defense official shared with Aviation Week & Space Technology that this should not be a surprise, considering that the US, by then, already lost nearly a hundred drones. In fact, by July 2010, the Air Force identified 70 drone accidents, each costing the government at least $1 million each.
Drone facts and studies say that there are several factors that contribute to these crashes, including bad weather, loss or disruption of communication links, and even human error. According to former Air Force deputy chief of intelligence Lt. Gen. David Deptula, “Some of the [drones] that we have today, you put in a high-threat environment, and they’ll start falling from the sky like rain.”
Drones are taking over America
A lot of people have been worried about the militarization of the US airspace by unmanned aerial vehicles, but their worries so far have been unfounded. However, by October 2011, the Federal Aviation Administration reportedly issued 285 active certificates for 85 users, covering 82 drone types. The FAA also refused to say who received clearances, but it was estimated that about 35 percent was held by the Pentagon, 11 percent by NASA, and 5 percent by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).
According to drone facts, the drone numbers and clearances have also been growing. US Customs and Border Protection operates eight Predator drones. Due to the pressure from the congressional Unmanned Systems Caucus, two additional Predators were also sent to Texas by fall, though Homeland noted that the department did not ask for them. In June 2011, a predator drone intended to patrol the US-Canada border helped locate three suspected cattle rustlers in North Dakota in what was reported as the first reported use of a drone to arrest US citizens.
The scope of U.S. military drone missions is expanding . . .
Drones have come a long way since the years that it was used purely for military strike operation. Five-pound backpack drones have now been used by infantry soldiers for tactical surveillance and will soon be deployed for what can be called magic bullet kamikaze missions. Special operations forces were even able to develop a warhead fired from a Predator drone that managed to knock down doors.
K-Max helicopter drones can transport supplies to troops at operating bases in Afghanistan. Balloons, for instance, were able to unleash Tempest drones, which then send out smaller surveillance drones (Cicadas) to fly around collecting data. Today, the US State Department has been flying a small fleet of surveillance drones over Iraq to protect the US Embassy. In short, more and more drones have been used by the military as they seem to have infinite uses for surveillance and warfare.
. . . but not as fast as civilian use
While drones are practically a staple in the US Military, other organizations and even civilians have a lot of use for it as well. For instance, safety inspectors used drones to survey the damage at Japan’s Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant after the tsunami in 2011. Russian archaeologists used small drones with infrared cameras to reconstruct an ancient burial mound in 3D. Osprey drones have been used by environmental activists to track and monitor Japanese whaling ships. GALE drones are expected to fly into hurricanes to monitor the strength of the storm more accurately. Even photographers are making use of drones to get their paparazzi shots of celebrities.
The advancement of drones, however, does not limit only to their use—even the technology that makes them has become more advanced. For example, drone facts say that engineers from Southampton were able to build a nearly silent drone with the help of a laser 3D printer, which can be assembled by hand in a matter of minutes.
Most military drones don’t bomb
News and films seem to indicate that military drones all have bombs, but this simply isn’t true. In fact, most of the time, drones are used for intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance or ISR as the military calls it. The U.S. Navy’s first high-altitude drone, for example, can relay black and white photos that can cover roughly half of the Persian Gulf. The Global Hawk’s advanced radars are powerful enough to take detailed images of the planet and can attempt to sniff out chemical and biological agents for signs of weapons of mass destruction. Soon, the Gorgon Stare drone can even look at a whole city. Maj. Gen. James O. Poss said about the tech, “There will be no way for the adversary to know what we’re looking at, and we can see everything,”
Attack drones require more boots on the ground
Most of the unmanned aircraft flown by the US military require a platoon of surveillance analysts, not just a ground-based “pilot.” In fact, there are about 19 analysts per drone, as well as sensor operators and a maintenance crew. Around 169 people are actually required to keep a Predator drone up in the air, and around 180 for the Reaper, its bigger cousin. These numbers show that there are actually more people needed to operate drones; F-26 fighter jets need only about a hundred.
However, to keep up with the demands, the Air Force has trained more operators than pilots in the last few years, which is great for their budget. According to the Congressional Budget Office, drones are less expensive than manned aircraft—a Global Hawk drone would cost the Air Force around $15 million, while the new F-16 would cost $55 million. Still, the costly sensors and high number of crashes seem to negate such difference.
Drones are becoming a lethal weapon of choice
Around 300 drone strikes happened outside the battlefields of Iraq, Afghanistan, and Libya in the past decade. Of all these attacks, around 95 percent happened in Pakistan, while the rest were in Yemen and Somalia. All in all, these drones have killed over 2,000 suspected militants and an unknown number of civilians.
Pres. Barack Obama recently acknowledged the drone facts that a lot of the strikes have been in Pakistan’s tribal areas, many of whom can be targeted by under different authorities. There are those believed to be multiple drone-target “kill lists” among government agencies.
In Yemen, the Pentagon has led executive authority for drone strikes, which are said to be congressional armed services committees, while the CIA is in charge of many others. The Obama administration claimed power to assassinate US citizens like Yemeni-American cleric Anwar al-Awlaki, but the Justice Department refuses to declassify such memo that provided the authority to kill him with a drone. That being said, 85 percent of non-battlefield drone strikes occurred in recent years, yet there is little understanding of their use from the civilian perspective.
Other countries are catching up on drone use
According to drone facts, the United States may be ahead in developing drone technology, with the country projected to account for 77 percent of drone R&D and 69 percent procurement in the coming decade. However, estimates of other countries having drone capabilities have also been high, ranging from 44 to 70 countries have drone tech, for an estimated 680 drone programs around the world. This is a significant increase from 195 in 2005.
China has been escalating its drone program as well, with drone facts saying that at least 25 different systems in development. Iran’s program boasts of the armed Ambassador of Death drone, which the current Iranian president, Pres. Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, unveiled by declaring, “Its main message is peace and friendship.”
The drone future is here
Today, the Pentagon boasts of a fleet, 7,500 drones strong from just 50 ten years ago. According to a congressional report, “Manned aircraft have gone from 95 percent of all [Defense Department] aircraft in 2005 to 69 percent today.”
Over the next decade, the Pentagon expects the number of multi-role drones (the ones that can spy and strike) to quadruple in number. In 2011, the Teal Group consulting firm estimated the worldwide spending on unmanned aerial vehicles to double in the next decade, from $5.9 billion to $11.3 billion annually.
In the future, drones are expected to hover behind infantry soldiers to watch their backs, carry airborne lasers to intercept missiles, perform aerial refueling, and even conduct long-range strategic bombing missions. With this, it is expected that drones will become cheaper, smaller, faster, more lethal, and even more autonomous.
That being said, it’s hard to imagine what drones can and cannot do, but the above drone facts that whatever limits there are to be imposed in the use of drones, it up to the government and the rest of the human race to act upon it.

The Colt AR 15 very soon found its way into military use in the early 1960’s, offering shooters in the United States Air Force and Special Forces a select-fire option. When the United States got into involvement with Vietnam in 1963, it soon became clear that Springfield Armory was not going to be able to keep up with the production of the standard M14 battle rifles. This was the perfect opportunity for the AR 15 platform. Many people proposed expanding the production of the M14 to some other companies, but the idea was eventually scrapped because of the high cost of the M14 to manufacture. It was a great rifle, but it cost a lot to make, its cartridge required more resources, and it was largely considered overkill for fights of 300 yards or less.
Once you decide on the type of handguard you want, what about the length? Luckily most handguards, regardless of design or material, are available in multiple different lengths. They come in a selection of standard lengths that will correspond to standard lengths made for the barrel and gas system. Figure out what barrel length and gas system you have or will be running, and make sure you get a handguard that will perform properly with the specs you need. While this test did not turn out very great for keymod, it does not mean that it is a bad system. Both mounting systems work great and are very popular and available. Whichever system you use, rest assured that it will successfully allow you to add whatever accessories you want to your AR-15. If this system has any disadvantages, it is that it can sometimes be a little tricky to properly align any attachments that you are installing. M-LOK is quickly gaining more and more popularity every year, as more and more companies are making accessories using this mounting system.
Cut rifled barrels have long been considered the standard for the AR 15. It is by far the most popular and still to this day one of the most cost-effective ways to create barrels. A cut rifled barrel is created just like the name says: a barrel blank is inserted into a rifling machine, which resembles a large lathe. The machine then pushes a single cutter attached to a long rod through the rough rifle bore, carving out each groove of the rifling. This entire process can be very time consuming, but given the right technique and equipment, produces the most accurate AR 15 barrels that you can find. Read additional info on AR 15 Parts.
Depending on the laws in your state and your willingness to do extra paperwork, a Short Barreled Rifle (SBR) can make for a very handy package. Obviously, NFA rules do apply. You’ll most certainly need to research that. That said, instead of an SBR, many builders today are opting to build AR pistols. If you have decided to go that AR pistol route, then Black Rifle Depot offers a few different short 5.56 AR 15 upper assemblies that are both affordable and reliable. Our shortest option is a 7.5″ 5.56 NATO Pistol Upper Assembly that features a 4150CMV steel barrel, a 7″ M-LOK handguard an A2 flash hider, 7075-T6 Forged Upper Receiver, a forward assist and dust cover, and our lifetime warranty from Black Rifle Depot.
Many polymer drop-in handguards will be made of two different pieces that will fit around the barrel. They are generally fastened together by a handguard cap towards the front, and secured by a delta ring assembly in the rear. They get their name from how easy it is to install them, or to “drop-in” a new one. Installing them is super easy, and can literally be done in less than a minute. Simply pull back on the spring loaded delta ring to remove the current handguard, follow the instructions on the new one and put it in almost in reverse of removing one and there you go! Brand new handguard in no time! Most drop-in polymer handguards are offered in different lengths, in order to accommodate the varying gas system lengths of whatever AR-15 they are going on. They are generally the cheapest option, but they do have one slight disadvantage. Because of their design, they incorporate a handguard cap that is usually in contact with the forward portion of the barrel. This can possibly affect accuracy, especially if using fore grips or bipods with the handguard. This is not always the case, but something to be aware of if precision accuracy concerns you. Black Rifle Depot is a family owned and operated AR 15 Parts and AR 15 Accessories wholesale distributor based out of Bakersfield California.

They’ve been designing, manufacturing, and marketing systems that provide advanced thermal imaging, security applications, and ground and air-based survelliance in both the commercial and military sectors. This level of expertise and reliability is has recently led to them obtaining an $18 million dollar contract with the US Military to provide the initial production of the Dismounted Reconnaisance Sets, Kits, and Outfit program, or DR SKO.
This program touches on all services within the Department of Defense, providing new technologies that will integrate response systems for chemical, biological, nuclear, explosive, and biological threats, as well as the management systems that will be utilized in their implementation. While the program has been in place since 2008 under Joint Nuclear Biological Chemical Reconnaisance System Increment II, this most recent contract has served to push the development of these systems into high gear.
The cementing of the DR SKO program will serve as an important part of the FLIR family programs, contracts of this type inevitably lead to further contracts, and with FLIR’s commitment to excellence, it’s nearly inevitable that this is just one more contract in a continuing relationship with the armed forces. The Production of these systems are due to be completed during 2014, and will be handled primarily by the Detection segment facility that is located in Elkridge, Maryland, and includes a complex integrated system. This system will be capable of identifying collected samples, detecting sources of the related threats, and personal safety kits that will make sure that the personnel in charge of these systems can conduct the testing while remaining safe from harm.
The original JNBCRS was designed to serve the Army, Marine Corps, and Air Force in hazardous environments where threat detection was of the utmost importance. It was during the development of this system that equipment such as the Chemical and Biological Mass Spectrometer was first introduced to the system, managed by a Dual Wheeled Sampling System, radiological detectors, and the ability to detect possible environmental CBRN hazards. From this initial system came the development of the JNBCRS2 (Increment II), and ultimate the newest DR SKO program under development today. At all stages of this program technologies such as thermal imaging have been a central part of the design, making FLIR a natural choice as a developer.
The decision to have FLIR provide the CBRNE (chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear, and explosive) threat response system was based in FLIRs long and outstanding history of providing this kind of equipment with an eye towards durability and efficacy. They are far and away the most qualified and reliable providers of highly integrated systems that incorporate a broad suite of sensor technologies, and this experience will be invaluable in the face of developing a system such as this. | weapons_science |

Bubs's shotgun was used by Bubs to destroy the Compy 386 to save the Homestar Runner universe from The Virus in virus. Strong Bad was less than grateful. Due to the nature of The Virus, this gun first appeared as one of Homestar's legs. It resembles a Winchester Model 1912 with a sawn-off barrel.
An interesting side-note, the hole in the Compy 386 is larger than the hole in the wall. A normal shotgun would spread the pellets out as they traveled through the air. (Although it could be implied that the pellets' energy was reduced from the impact with the computer so only the centermost (fastest moving) pellets actually blew through the wall.) | weapons_science |

She was assigned to the 1st Cruiser Squadron of the Channel Fleet upon completion. After a refit she was assigned to the reserve Third Fleet in 1909 before going to the Mediterranean Fleet in 1911. She was transferred to the China Station in 1912 and remained there until the start of World War I in August 1914.
The ship hunted for German commerce raiders until she was transferred to the Grand Fleet at the end of 1914. She was assigned to the 7th Cruiser Squadron upon her return home. She was transferred to the 2nd Cruiser Squadron in 1916 and was present at the Battle of Jutland. Several days later she was sailing to Russia, carrying the Secretary of State for War, Field Marshall Lord Kitchener, when she is believed to have struck a mine laid by a German submarine. She sank with heavy loss of life, including Kitchener and his staff. Rumours later circulated of German spies and sabotage being involved in the sinking. Her wreck is listed under the Protection of Military Remains Act, though part was later illegally salvaged.

In this blog, Matt examines one effort by the Royal Navy to incorporate aircraft into the fleet.
Aircraft that took off and landed directly on water were an important part of the infancy of naval aviation, but possibly the most significant development made in this field by the Royal Navy during the First World War was the ability to fly landplanes off warships. While by the end of the conflict the concept of the dedicated aircraft carrying ship had become established, the idea of creating tiny flight decks fitted to fixed or revolving platforms to allow battleships and cruiser to carry one or two aircraft also seemed worthwhile. The early success of these platforms even when better alternatives were available arguably lead to a dead-end in naval aviation, which provided a detrimental influence into design of naval aircraft well into the post-First World War period.
Experiments in launching aircraft from warships had begun in the years before the First World War, almost as soon as aeroplanes became a practical means of transport. Eugene Ely took off and landed a Curtiss pusher from anchored USN warships in October 1910. Just over a year later, in January 1912, Lieutenant C.R. Samson flew a Short S.38 from a ramp mounted to the bow of HMS Africa. The Royal Navy’s experiments were somewhat more sustained than those of the US Navy, and included the first take-off from a ship at sea, in May 1912.
In 1912 the armoured cruiser HMS Hermes was modified with a hangar, and a launching ramp fitted on the bow. She was recommissioned the following year as the parent vessel for the Aeroplane and Airship section. That development was relatively short-lived, but persuaded the RN that there was merit in ships that could carry aircraft. A collier under construction at the Blyth Shipbuilding Company was selected and became the second HMS Ark Royal. When construction finished in 1914, the Ark Royal became the first ship in the world to be completed as an aircraft-carrying ship. It was also the largest seaplane carrier of the war, at 7,020 tons displacement. Ark Royal was designed to carry both float planes and land planes, though once launched the latter would be required to return to land.
By the time Ark Royal commissioned in 1915, the value of shipborne seaplanes had been proven. The daring raid on Cuxhaven did little damage to the dockyards, but it panicked German authorities and caused the High Seas Fleet to withdraw ships to more distant anchorages. Rather than operating with the Home Fleet, Ark Royal was dispatched to the Mediterranean and was quickly on hand when the Dardanelles campaign began. The ship reached Tenedos, 15 miles from the Dardanelles, on 17 February. Within two hours of its arrival, one of Ark Royal’s aircraft was dispatched on a combat reconnaissance flight, demonstrating the potential for rapid power projection that even this rudimentary form of aircraft carrier could provide. The Ark Royal’s aircraft took part in reconnaissance and gunnery spotting for British ships during the campaign and the subsequent landings at Gallipoli.
Experiments in the launching of landplanes from cruisers and battleships initially continued in parallel with the development of dedicated seaplane carriers. In the early part of the First World War four cruisers had fixed ramps fitted, but the practical difficulties proved too great and, from August 1915, the experiment was curtailed.
Nevertheless, the value of flying aircraft directly from warships at sea was recognised, and trials with launching ramps took place aboard the battlecruisers HMS Renown and HMAS Australia in 1917. German naval zeppelins posed an increasing threat to naval operations. The zeppelins had excellent range and ability to loiter, and combined an early strategic bombing role with an ability to reconnoitre for the German navy. Royal Navy operations could lose the element of surprise at a single stroke. It had become important for the Royal Navy to find ways of launching high-performance aircraft that could intercept the Zeppelins.
During the Battle of Jutland, no fewer than five German naval Zeppelins were deployed to locate the British ships. They had been unable to due to poor visibility, but more were deployed the following morning and at first light, L-11 located the main British force. By then, the battle was over, but the sighting of the Grand Fleet prevented further sweeps that might have located some of the damaged German vessels attempting to limp home.
It was around this time that the idea of fitting launching ramps to cruiser was once again raised. HMS Caledon and HMS Cassandra were among the first vessels so fitted. These ramps were built on the foredeck, and extended from the bridge structure out over the bow gun in such a way that its movement was not impaired. The flying-off decks added relatively little topweight, and it was ordered that one ship in each of the light cruiser squadrons should be so fitted. A number of light cruisers had platforms fitted in 1917-18, to accommodate aircraft such as the Sopwith 2F.1 ‘Camel’ single-seat scout aircraft. Although much smaller than capital ships such as battleships and battle cruisers, light cruisers had the advantage of speed and manoeuvrability, with their powerful steam-turbine machinery promising speeds of over 30 knots, meaning that an aircraft would need very little take-off roll to become airborne.
The potential of the arrangement could be seen in the flight by Flight Sub Lieutenant B.A. Smart on 21 August 1917. Smart was the pilot of a Sopwith Pup carried by HMS Yarmouth of the 3rd Light Cruiser Squadron. At 0530, the ‘Q-Class’ zeppelin L23 was spotted. This airship was a veteran of 51 reconnaissance missions and three bombing raids. Yarmouth turned into wind and Smart used the Pup’s excellent climbing capability to put his aircraft above the zeppelin, and was able to take advantage of the lightly loaded biplane’s manoeuvrability to keep himself out of the defensive machine guns’ fields of fire. Making his final attack from around 100 yards, Smart saw incendiary bullets enter the airship’s stern, and L23 quickly caught fire and crashed.
A further development was the adaptation of the Admiralty Seaplane Lighter as an alternative to the cruiser-mounted platform. The lighter was initially developed to carry large flying boats, were supposed to be towed by destroyers to an offshore location to extend their patrol range. It was soon realised that by fitting a small platform to the lighter, it could be used in exactly the same way as the cruiser platforms.
The Seaplane Lighter was a carefully-designed, sophisticated vessel that had to perform a number of potentially conflicting tasks. They were relatively large, at around 60ft long and almost half as wide, dwarfing launches and other small vessels. The hull form was a shallow ‘vee’ at the stern with a hard chine and slab sides. At the bow, the chine swept upwards and the ‘vee’ became progressively deeper. The overall shape was not far removed from later high-speed launches, as the lighter had to be towed at speeds of up to 30 knots. Even with a large Felixstowe F2A flying boat aboard, the lighter would ride up on its own bow-wave in a semi-planing condition. The lighter could not be steered, but two large fins were attached to the underside at the stern to keep the lighter tracking at high speeds. These Lighters were arguably the first purpose-designed ‘aircraft carriers’.
In 1917 and 1918, the Royal Naval Air Service (and later the RAF) developed the ability to fly scout and reconnaissance aircraft from platforms placed on top of battleship turrets. The turrets could be traversed so the ship did not even need to steam directly into the wind for the platform to be correctly aligned. A lengthways trestle carried the aircraft’s tailskid, maintaining the aircraft at the correct attitude. The engine was run up while the aircraft was restrained, and following release the aeroplane would reach flying speed by the end of the platform.
Light cruiser turrets were too small, but a purpose-built rotating platform for launching was fitted to more than 30 light cruisers in place of the fixed foredeck ramp previously used. This structure no longer required the vessel to steam directly into wind to launch the aircraft.
The use of revolving platforms as mini flying-off decks was still continued in the mid 1920s when the Fairey Flycatcher and Parnall Plover – the first properly new postwar naval fighter designs – entered service, although the increasing weight and size of military aircraft was making the application less and less practical. The Flycatcher is today considered a small and lightly-loaded aircraft, but its full service weight was more than double that of the Sopwith Pup. Despite this, flying-off platforms continued to be used for this new fighter. The Royal Aircraft Establishment’s work on aircraft catapults was beginning to bear fruit by this time – the first ‘live’ aircraft launch from a catapult fitted to an operational warship, HMS Vindictive, took place in October 1923. The potential for launching aircraft at much higher loadings must have been apparent, yet the RN continued to develop some aircraft with the ability to take off from cruisers and battleships entirely under their own power. Experimentation at the National Physical Laboratory’s wind-tunnel, and later ‘live’ tests from HMS Caledon seemed to prove that the use of platforms was still valid despite the rapid growth in size and weight of naval fighters. The philosophy briefly held sway that aircraft carriers should be restricted to reconnaissance and offensive aircraft, while fighters should be carried on gun-armed warships.
In 1924, a number of comparative deck landing took place aboard HMS Argus, the first flush-decked aircraft carrier. The Parnall Plover and Fairey Flycatcher competed in order to decide which should equip the Fleet Air Arm’s fighter units. These tests included operation both from aircraft carrier decks and cruiser/battleship platforms. In July, a 17 foot long structure was fitted to the after end of the carrier’s flight deck to replicate a flying-off platform. A number of take-offs and landings were carried out, and it was concluded that both the Flycatcher and the Plover powered by the Bristol Jupiter would be able to operate from battleships with 20 knots of wind over the deck, and from cruisers with 28 knots of wind. It was decided that the standard Jaguar III-powered Flycatcher, already in limited service, did not have sufficient performance to be deployed aboard either type. The need to conclude the protracted trial period put considerable pressure on the RN. It was noted that the platform trials continued through difficult weather and conditions that “put a considerable strain on the endurance of the pilots taking part, particularly when launchings had to be repeated by the same pilots at short intervals.”i
The continued insistence on using turret platforms revealed the difficulties in designing aircraft to take advantage of new, more powerful engines, increase performance, retain sufficient robustness to operate at sea, and take off in as short a distance as a platform afforded. The Admiralty and the Air Ministry were presented with a dilemma. The improved Plover, powered by the more powerful Jupiter engine, had a significantly better performance than the standard Flycatcher, which was important for operation from warship platforms. However the construction, structural strength and service life of the Plover were in doubt. In July 1924, Plover N9704 of 405 Flight crashed in the river Eden when its upper wing centre-section partially collapsed. Less serious but still worrying structural issues had come to light during the ongoing trials.
A conference on the situation regarding the Flycatcher and Plover was held on 1 August 1924. ii At the August 1924 meeting, the Air Staff, RAF, RN and Admiralty thrashed out the arguments. The Flycatcher, it was felt, had proved itself to be perfectly robust during limited operational service, and its handling and performance although slightly inferior to the improved Plover, were still found praiseworthy by pilots in their own right. Although the Flycatcher was felt to be unsuitable for cruisers and battleship flying with the standard Jaguar III engine, the powerful Jupiter engine degraded the Flycatcher’s fine deck landing characteristics and its general suitability. The RN did not want to introduce two types into service, and the representatives went so far as to consider replacing the Flycatchers in service with Plovers, or retaining the existing Flycatchers alongside a smaller number of Plovers which would be used exclusively for flying off ship platforms. This latter suggestion seemed to be a non-starter, as the Chief of the Air Staff had declared in June 1924 that “The Air Staff Policy is that for types of which comparatively few [aircraft] will be required, such as Fleet Fighters, Fleet Spotters, Army Co-operation Aeroplanes, only one type of aeroplane and engine is to be used in the service.”iii
Fears about the Plover’s structural weakness proved hard to overcome. The Chief of the Air Staff noted widespread fears that the Plover “would not stand the strain imposed upon it” and later that he “frankly would not trust to the Plover”.iv Nevertheless, it was considered that for the Flycatcher to use the Jupiter, it would have to be completely redesigned, and there was no guarantee that the redesign would be successful. The factor that did most to tip the balance finally in favour of the Flycatcher was the availability of the improved Jaguar powerplant. Armstrong Siddeley had increased the available power from 325 hp to 360hp and then to 385 hp, with a variant that would become the Jaguar IV.
It was a gamble on the part of the Air Staff and Admiralty, as the improved Jaguar was unproven at the time of the August 1924 conference and had not passed its type tests. In fact, during the later trials aboard Argus, the officer in charge of the programme sanctioned the inclusion of a 385 hp Jaguar-powered Flycatcher, even though the Air Staff and Admiralty had asked for trials only on the Jupiter-powered machines. The experiences there, and earlier in the year at Northolt, persuaded most of the service pilots that the Flycatcher had a performance that was, in most regimes, equal to or only slightly poorer than that of the Plover, but with the benefit of much greater robustness and practicality.
In August, the 385 hp Jaguar IV passed its service tests and the decision was therefore made that the Flycatcher with this engine would be the Fleet Air Arm’s main fighter “definitely until 1926”. (Oneone factor in the decision not to proceed with the Plover was the feeling that a substantially better aircraft would be available in a few years and in those circumstances it was not worth changing from the Flycatcher).v
Orders for over 100 further Flycatchers were placed in 1924, and subsequent orders brought the total number of Flycatchers, including prototypes, to 193.
By the mid-1920s, however, Fairey’s insistence on prioritising structural strength was borne out when the RN started to switch to catapults powered by compressed air, and subsequently by cordite charges, developed at the RAE at Farnborough. Flycatcher floatplane N9913 was trialled from HMS Vindictive’s catapult in 1925, which proved the aircraft’s suitability and detachments of Flycatchers later served aboard catapult-equipped ships from 1926.
As naval aircraft became ever larger and heavier, it also became necessary to find ways to accelerate take-off in calm conditions. Flycatchers (including N9947) were used to test the RAE’s compressed-air powered accelerator (‘accelerators’ differed from catapults in the Royal Navy’s view as they assisted the take-off of an aircraft along a runway or flight deck, as opposed to catapults, which required a crane for the aircraft to be mounted) between 1928 and 1933, and their robust construction again proving ideal. This formed the basis of the systems which would be used on British aircraft carriers until the jet age. The Flycatchers of the final production batch, S1409 to S1418, were distinguished as ‘catapult type’ in the order of March 1930.vi
By 1925, it was clear that the generation of naval fighters coming after the Flycatcher would have serious difficulty in operating from platforms, and that catapults the solution. Moreover, by the late 1920s, the use of ‘accelerators’ to increase the flexibility of aircraft carrier operations, meant that structural strength was paramount in naval aircraft, and striving for low enough weight for platform take-off was impractical – as shown by the Plover.
In 1926, when the Air Ministry issued a specification for the Flycatcher’s replacement, the requirement for platform launching had been dropped – just two years after such considerable effort had been made to ensure the Fleet Air Arm’s fighter aircraft could operate from them. The fitting of catapults to warships was slow, and many retained their platforms until the early 1930s. The initial development of the platform had afforded a relatively easy way to provide air cover and additional reconnaissance to the Fleet in the First World War, but its success potentially encouraged the RN to persist with it longer than any other air arm, to the detriment of the further development of the Royal Navy and Fleet Air Arm.

The German military constructed the 37-mm Pak 36 in 1936 to supply the first weapon for its panzerjagers, who have been accountable for anti-tank security in infantry divisions. understanding that the recent Wehrmacht offensive doctrines meant to totally take advantage of the surprise impression, firepower and mobility of armor, the panzerjagers have been meant to allow German infantry to fend off enemy tanks. even if the Pak 36 was once enough opposed to such a lot pre-war tanks, through the 1940 crusade within the West it proved not able to defeat the British Matilda II or French Char B, so the Wehrmacht all started constructing the 50-mm Pak 38 to supersede it. notwithstanding, the method of re-equipment was once gradual and so much German infantry divisions that participated within the invasion of the Soviet Union in 1941 merely had a handful of Pak 38s and nonetheless relied in most cases at the Pak 36. simply 4 days into the invasion, German troops encountered the 1st KV-1 and KV-2 tanks close to Raisinai in Lithuania and the impotence of either the Pak 36 (soon derisively categorized the "Door Knocker") and the Pak 38 was once published. therefore firstly of this decisive crusade, the German military was once confronted with the truth that it's panzerjagers couldn't supply powerful anti-tank protection opposed to Soviet heavy tanks and the Wehrmacht was once pressured to undertake a crash-program to improve its division-level AT defenses.

On the Soviet part, established upon classes from the Spanish Civil battle, the crimson military made up our minds to enhance a heavy "breakthrough" tank to damage enemy infantry defenses. the outcome was once the KV-1 and KV-2 tanks, brought in 1939. at first of Operation Barbarossa, either those tanks have been nearly invulnerable to the guns of the panzerjager and established their skill to overrun German infantry on numerous events. This virtue gave the pink military a window of chance among the autumn of 1941 and the spring of 1942 to take advantage of their heavy tanks to repel the German invasion in a sequence of determined counteroffensives. but the window of Soviet virtue was once a slender one and the duel among the Soviet KV heavy tanks and German panzerjagers had an immense effect upon the fight for the strategic initiative in 1941-42.

The area at battle is the definitive tv paintings at the moment international battle. It told the tale of the warfare during the testimony of key participants—from civilians to dull infantrymen, from statesmen to generals.

In "Dunkirk: struggle to the final Man," we're given an unparalleled imaginative and prescient of those harrowing days. Hugh Sebag-Montefiore has created a daring and strong account of the small team of guys who fended off the German military in order that thousands in their comrades may go out this doomed land. those courageous troops, participants of the British Expeditionary Forces and the French military, held a chain of robust issues inland, permitting the remainder of the battered battalions to flee to the coast. those who remained have been ordered to struggle to the final guy. a lot has been written concerning the efforts of the Royal military in shuttling squaddies to protection, yet right here we're given an exceptional glance within this huge operation and the worthwhile position performed through the BEF. with out the ferocity and bravado of the officials and traditional infantrymen at the flooring, the German military could most likely have encircled approximately part one million Allied squaddies. The lack of those battalions, Sebag-Montefiore argues, can have dramatically replaced the course of the battle, and enabled Hitler to invade a weakened Britain. this is often army historical past at its most sensible: a sensible research of the circulate of the struggle, and a brilliant believe of what it was once wish to be at the entrance line. Sebag-Montefiore brings those men--the forgotten heroes of Dunkirk--to lifestyles, and it truly is their valiant exploits and devotion to their brethren that shape the center of this crucial booklet.

Panzer-Division, June 1941 As expected, the Panzerjäger made short work of the handful of T-35 heavy tanks, most of which broke down before they even met the enemy.
German training was normally regarded as tough and realistic, although it should be evident that here the loader is standing at full height and the gun commander is casually sitting on the towing hitch, neither posture being likely in combat. com Once trained, a gun crew was sent in a recruit draft to join an antitank unit at the army, division or regimental level. Each German infantry and Panzer division had a PanzerjägerAbteilung, with a typical authorized strength of around 700 men, organized in a headquarters, three Panzerjäger companies, an antiaircraft company (with 12 2cm Flak), and battalion logistic trains.
FIREPOWER In order to destroy a target on the battlefields of 1941–43, the firing platform needed to be able to detect that target and engage it with appropriate ammunition. Spotting the enemy first and shooting first conferred a significant advantage. The KV heavy tanks had the ability to destroy all forms of towed and self-propelled Panzerjäger throughout the period of 1941–43. 62mm coaxial machinegun fire. The OF-350 was a point-detonating round with a relatively small bursting charge, which made it less than ideal for destroying small, concealed PaK guns.

It is rarely appreciated that Canada’s army ended the Second War as one of the most highly mechanized armies in the world. To a great degree, this accomplishment was owed to the many versions of small, lightly-armoured, tracked Carriers that were employed. The Carrier story is complex and, rather than re-invent the wheel, I have chosen to quote from several sources.
The following section is quoted with permission from Gary J. Kennedy’s
The Universal Carrier is perhaps one of the most misunderstood instruments of the World War Two battlefield. It does not neatly fit into any established class of armoured fighting vehicle. It is perhaps most often thought of as an armoured personnel carrier, but this is misleading. It may be more accurately described as an armoured machine gun carrier. The role of an APC, as typified by the halftrack of the period, was to transport a Squad [Section] sized unit over rough terrain under some degree of protection from small arms’ fire and shell bursts. Such machines were employed en masse to mechanise an entire Infantry Battalion, bestowing previously undreamt of mobility.
The unique concept of the Universal Carrier Platoon was to provide every Infantry Battalion with the ability to move a small portion of its establishment under armoured protection. The men of the Rifle Platoons could not pile into the vehicles as they could do with halftracks. Each Carrier had its own Bren gun team and was intended to operate in a fire support role for the walking infantrymen, rather than act as their transportation. In reality, the Carrier served in a host of other less offensive but equally vital roles.
The idea was that the Carrier could transport a Bren team to a position where they could dismount and begin covering fire. The armour of the Carrier was proof against bullets and shell splinters. It was not proof against airbursts or grenades, as the machine had no overhead cover. This was partly to facilitate the dismount and partly to save weight, and it was a weakness shared by both German and American halftrack carriers.
As with more conventional support weapons, the question of whether the Carriers should be deployed as a single force or hived off to the Rifle Companies arose. A compromise generally emerged, in which the one or two Main Effort Companies received a Section apiece, with the resultant balance being retained as a Battalion reserve under the Platoon Commander.
As there was no precedent for the Carrier, there was a certain amount of puzzlement as to its most profitable deployment. In the early days of the war, German and Italian anti-tank weapons were far less common. This encouraged some units to use their Carriers boldly, taking full advantage of the enemy’s lack of resistance to even lightly armoured vehicles. The higher echelons of the Army were most critical of these uses, regarding the Carrier Platoon as a valuable asset that should be preserved. Commanders in the field were constantly admonished not to think of their Carriers as either Scout Cars or light tanks. This undoubtedly left some wondering just what use the machine was. This cautious approach became more understandable as the war progressed. German anti-tank weapons mushroomed from a handful of negligible rifles to scores of grenades and shoulder launched weapons. The Carrier was operating in an increasingly armour hostile environment not envisioned during its pre-war development.
Where a Carrier Section of three machines was placed under the command of a Rifle Company, the Company Commander could utilise it in a number of ways. Firstly, he could take advantage of the addition of three more Bren guns, a PIAT and a 2 inch mortar to ‘thicken the fire of his Fire Platoon’. This unit provided a base of fire under cover of which the remaining Rifle Platoons would advance. The support weapons of the Carrier Section could literally double the firepower…. Mobility was a key element in the survival of the Carrier on the battlefield, so when operating in this manner the crews would fire dismounted, the Carriers being held back out of enemy view. At a push, the Section could take over the role of the Fire Platoon, though this was a risky move as with only 13 men at full strength the Section was vulnerable to infantry assault.
The mobile role took several forms. Chief among these saw the Carriers moving with the Main Effort Platoons, some distance behind them rather than leading the way. At the order of the Company Commander, they would move to a flank position and lay down fire with their Bren guns to cover the advance of a Rifle Platoon. Other more adventurous options saw the Carriers deployed to cut off an enemy retreat by swinging round a flank, or making a feint attack to draw what must have been unwelcome hostile intention.
In the defence, Carriers were more constrained. A stationary vehicle blazing away with a Bren gun offered too tempting a target. The Platoon was normally retained as Battalion reserve of firepower, which could react to any incursion by attacking troops. Where the terrain allowed, good use could be made of reverse slopes, with the Carrier showing just enough of itself to allow permit the gunner to fire over a crest before the driver reversed and moved to a new position. Interesting mention is made of the Carriers being used to establish outposts and support existing ones. This was qualified by the caution ‘they MUST be withdrawn at night’.
Other Likely Actions
The Universal Carrier was so named because of the staggering variety of tasks it could perform, though there was little room for physical modification. A number photographs show Carriers sporting entirely ‘unauthorised’ .50 cal. M2 machine guns in place of the usual Bren. Additional machines were allotted to Battalion and later Company Headquarters to ferry officers around under some form of protection while undertaking reconnaissance.
When the conditions of the battlefield restricted the intended deployment of the Carrier, it was swiftly put to other uses. A British Infantry Battalion had an enviable concentration of motor transport by comparison to other formations. While softskin vehicles could not be used to ferry troops forward or casualties back under fire, Carriers could. This latter role was particularly important and helped save many lives. Fresh supplies of ammunition, food, water and other necessities could also be moved. The Company Commander’s Carrier was even known to transport the heavy PIATs issued to the Rifle Platoons.
One other task of the Carrier is worthy of particular mention. The British were not much taken with the backpack flamethrower, reasoning the operator was extremely vulnerable and had to fire at particularly close range. A vehicle-mounted weapon offered the possibility of much improved range and sustainability. Ideally to survive, it should also be armoured. The Carrier fitted this role perfectly, and after much delay the Wasp appeared. This mounted a flame gun in place of the Bren, and displaced two men to fit the fuel tanks. The Canadian Army had also been pursuing the idea and opted to place the fuel tanks outside the machine at the rear. This cleared sufficient space for a third crewman to return with his Bren, firing from the rear troop compartment, as the gun slit was occupied by the flame projector. This improved Wasp 2 quickly took precedence over the earlier model.
The stated aim was to provide each Battalion with eight units for fitting to existing machines as required, extended to Motor Battalions and Reconnaissance Regiments on the same scale. Actual availability varied enormously, with preference being made for units slated to take part in assaults I would suggest.
There can be no denying that the Universal Carrier gave stalwart service to the armies of the Commonwealth nations throughout World War Two. As the conflict progressed however, it became evermore apparent that what was needed was a vehicle to move whole Sections of riflemen under armour. During 1944, the Canadian Army converted their stock of US supplied M7 Priest self propelled guns into infantry carriers. This proved so successful, attention was turned to the ill-fated Ram tanks, lying largely idle thanks to the adoption of the Sherman. The Kangaroo (as both versions were known due to the need to hop in and out over the side) filled the requirement perfectly for its day. It could transport a full Rifle Section, and the Ram variant still seated a bow gunner who could offer some fire support if needed
By comparison to the halftrack and the fully tracked Kangaroo, the Universal Carrier seemed a very one dimensional machine. Its relatively small size meant it could never be adapted to act as platform for a large calibre gun or medium mortar, as the halftracks were. Experience had shown that if riflemen were to be supported by their own armoured personnel carriers, they had to be able to ride in them as a composite Squad, and needed far more from them than just machine gun support fire. After the war, interest turned to more versatile vehicles, which evolved into the evermore-sophisticated machines of today.
But for a time, the Universal Carrier provided a valuable tool to the ordinary Rifle Company. I would imagine there were occasions when American, Russian or German infantrymen in the traditional footslogging Battalions, could have benefited from the ability to move even a handful of men across fire-swept ground under its protection. It remains a uniquely British interpretation of providing armoured fire support to the rifleman.

The Calgary Highlanders’ (2CID) website provides additional information about an infantry battalion’s employment of the Carrier.
A Carrier Platoon existed in each battalion as part of Support Company. The platoon provided the battalion commander with a relatively mobile force, armed with automatic weapons, and relatively safe from small arms’ fire. The platoon carried out a variety of missions, such as the re-supply of food, ammunition, water and other necessities; casualty evacuation, reconnaissance and even in rare cases assaults on enemy positions.
Typical Carrier Platoon
By 1944, the Carrier Platoon of an infantry battalion numbered 13 carriers and was the No.4 platoon of the battalion.
The Motor Regiment had a unique use for Carriers. Each Motor Company had a Scout Platoon of two officers and forty-one men mounted in Universal Carriers. The Westminster Regiment’s (5CAD) history explains the deployment of its Scout Platoons for the breakout at the Hitler Line:
The move to the Melfa [River], a distance of about six miles, was screened by the carriers of the Westminsters – three platoons of them – which moved ahead of the tanks. The theory of the attack was that the carriers might spot opposition and obstacles and wireless information to the tank men….
Credit must be given here to the carrier crews of the scout platoons whose job it was to nose out ahead of the main body of their respective companies, searching the ground and pinpointing enemy resistance. Their job was not an enviable one, for the carrier, unlike the tank, depended upon speed and mobility, rather than weight of armour, for its protection. In this country (Hitler Line, Italy), steep banks on the road-sides more often than not made manoeuvre virtually impossible, and the carrier crews rode uncomfortably in their open-top vehicles between overhanging, densely-wooded walls from which at any time a grenade might be lobbed or a machine gun might open up. These conditions applied to all other platoons also, of course, but they were most worrisome to the carrier crews, who got there first. Nor was the danger all from above, for there was an equally bad chance that the road below might be mined, and carriers with their broad track surface were notoriously susceptible to mines. Most of the crews packed the floor of their machines with bags of sand as some protection against the mine menace, but experience had left them with no illusions of complete protection.
By 1944, 95% of the Universal Carriers in the Canadian Army had been manufactured in Canada by Ford Motor Company – 8,901 of the MkI and MkII types in total, of which 6,985 had been shipped overseas. Remarkably, Ford had produced an additional 18,650, which were distributed to the Allies through the British Ministry of Supply and Canadian Mutual Aid Programme.
The T-16 gun-tower, mortar-transporter Carrier was produced by Ford in the United States and went into service in NW Europe. Deliveries were slow and the Carrier’s design lacked stowage capacity, so Ford Canada developed the Windsor Carrier (the Queen of Carriers) as a replacement. Production began in September ’44 and 5,000 were manufactured by war’s end. Like the earlier marks, Windsors were shared with Allies.

The all-big-gun concept was revived for the 1904â1905 programme, the Lord Nelson class. The committee's first task was to consider a new battleship. Rogers of the Naval War College wrote a long and detailed memorandum on this question, pointing out that as ranges became longer the difference in accuracy between even 10-inch and 12-inch guns became enormous. For these reasons, HMS Agincourt, which carried a record fourteen 12-inch guns in seven centreline turrets, was not considered a success.. , The greatest evolution in dreadnought protection came with the development of the anti-torpedo bulge and torpedo belt, both attempts to protect against underwater damage by mines and torpedoes. There is some speculation that informal contacts with sympathetic Royal Navy officials influenced the US Navy design, but the American ship was very different. Most of the United Kingdom's naval rivals had already contemplated or even built warships that featured a uniform battery of heavy guns. The next year's naval bill authorized two more battleships and two more battlecruisers. The hallmark of dreadnought battleships was an "all-big-gun" armament, but they also had heavy armour concentrated mainly in a thick belt at the waterline and in one or more armoured decks. The theorist SatÅ TetsutarÅ developed the doctrine that Japan should have a battlefleet at least 70% the size of that of the US. Ships designed in this way have been described as 'all-big-gun mixed-calibre' or later 'semi-dreadnoughts'. The three ships, the smallest dreadnoughts ever constructed, were built in Spain with British assistance; construction on the third ship, Jaime I, took nine years from its laying down date to completion because of non-delivery of critical material, especially armament, from the United Kingdom.. four 12-inch and twelve 9.2-inch guns. The site may not work properly if you don't, If you do not update your browser, we suggest you visit, Press J to jump to the feed. , If all turrets were on the centreline of the vessel, stresses on the ship's frames were relatively low. , By virtue of geography, the Royal Navy could keep the German High Seas Fleet confined to the North Sea with relative ease, but was unable to break the German superiority in the Baltic Sea. Withdrawing from the Mediterranean would mean a huge loss of influence, weakening British diplomacy in the region and shaking the stability of the British Empire. Fisher resigned in 1915 following arguments about the Gallipoli Campaign with the First Lord of the Admiralty, Winston Churchill. The solution which eventually was generally adopted was the geared turbine, where gearing reduced the rotation rate of the propellers and hence increased efficiency. To make matters worse for the United Kingdom, the Imperial Austro-Hungarian Navy was building four dreadnoughts, while the Italians had four and were building two more. , The replacement of the 6-inch or 8-inch (203 mm) guns with weapons of 9.2-inch or 10-inch calibre improved the striking power of a battleship, particularly at longer ranges. The final units of the Revenge and Queen Elizabeth classes were completed, though the last two battleships of the Revenge class were re-ordered as battlecruisers of the Renown class. Dreadnought mounted ten 12-inch guns. Wikipedia says 28 knots for KGV. The advantages of this method were its low cost, the opportunity for very close underwater compartmentalization, and good astern performance. The main armament for the Greek ship had been ordered in the United States, and the guns consequently equipped a class of British monitors. Within five years, new battleships outclassed Dreadnought herself. The term "dreadnought" gradually dropped from use after World War I, especially after the Washington Naval Treaty, as virtually all remaining battleships shared dreadnought characteristics; it can also be used to describe battlecruisers, the other type of ship resulting from the dreadnought revolution. Both British and American admirals concluded that they needed to engage the enemy at longer ranges. The ships built under the terms of the Washington Treaty (and subsequently the London Treaties in 1930 and 1936) to replace outdated vessels were known as treaty battleships.. Each battleship signalled national power and prestige, in a manner similar to the nuclear weapons of today. The calibre and weight of secondary armament tended to increase, as the range of torpedoes and the staying power of the torpedo boats and destroyers expected to carry them also increased. It was labor-intensive to pack coal into the ship's bunkers and then feed it into the boilers. In September 1910 the first of the Courbet class was laid down, making France the eleventh nation to enter the dreadnought race. In 1904, the Imperial Japanese Navy authorized construction of Satsuma, originally designed with twelve 12-inch (305 mm) guns. With the signing of the Entente Cordiale in April 1904, it became increasingly clear the United Kingdom's principal naval enemy would be Germany, which was building up a large, modern fleet under the "Tirpitz" laws. I am curious which battleship had the best top speed, and the Iowa/Yamato/Bismarck/Vanguard are of course the most famous battleships of all time, so I am curious about any dreadnought battleship class that was really well-built and fast but didn't receive as much press coverage as the above "stars" of naval history. , The earliest dreadnoughts were intended to take part in a pitched battle against other battleships at ranges of up to 10,000 yd (9,100 m). Only so much weight could be devoted to protection, without compromising speed, firepower or seakeeping. The Japanese Nagato-class battleships in 1917 carried 410-millimetre (16.1 in) guns, which was quickly matched by the US Navy's Colorado class. These lasted into August 1914, when a bill authorizing funding for four dreadnoughts was finalized, but the outbreak of World War I halted the ambitious plan. Her design had two revolutionary features: an "all-big-gun" armament scheme, with an unprecedented number of heavy-calibre guns, and steam turbine propulsion. Designers spent much time and effort to provide the best possible protection for their ships against the various weapons with which they would be faced. Oil has roughly twice the thermal content of coal. The Imperial German Navy was an exception, continuing to use 11-inch guns in its first class of dreadnoughts, the Nassau class. The disadvantages of the turbine were eventually overcome. The purpose of underwater protection was to absorb the force of a detonating mine or torpedo well away from the final watertight hull. The new American ships (the Colorado-class battleships, South Dakota-class battleships and Lexington-class battlecruisers), took a qualitative step beyond the British Queen Elizabeth class and Admiral classes by mounting 16-inch guns. Behind this belt were arranged the ship's coal bunkers, to further protect the engineering spaces. , The two 10-gun, 20,500 ton ships of the Delaware class were the first US battleships to match the speed of British dreadnoughts, but their secondary battery was "wet" (suffering from spray) and their bow was low in the water.

Want to have a Glock in your Android?
The Glock pistol, sometimes referred to by the manufacturer as Glock "Safe Action" Pistol, is a series of semi-automatic pistols designed and produced by Glock Ges.m.b.H., located in Deutsch-Wagram, Austria. The company's founder, engineer Gaston Glock, had no experience with firearm design or manufacture at the time their first pistol, the Glock 17, was being prototyped. Glock did, however, have extensive experience in advanced synthetic polymers, knowledge of which was instrumental in the company's design of the first successful line of pistols with a polymer frame. Glock introduced ferritic nitrocarburizing into the firearms industry as an anti-corrosion surface treatment for metal gun parts.

In a first focal plane scope, the reticle is placed in front of the magnification lenses. think about this for a second. just like the target and anything else you look at, whatever is in front of. First focal plane example (image via tacticalclassroom) the biggest benefit of using a ffp rifle scope is that the holdover points remain the same throughout all magnifications. for example, the 8 moa line is at 8 moa on the highest setting, the lowest setting and everything in between. Whether a riflescope has a first or second focal plane reticle only matters if the riflescope is one with variable power. with a first focal plane riflescope (below), the reticle is magnified by. The first focal plane reticle will help with adjusting for distance and maintain accuracy even over far ranges. the lens offered by the athlon optics scope is multi coated. this serves two functions. first, it improves light transmission down the scope to make your sight picture even better than before. this will assist in target acquisition. 2 models athlon optics midas tac 6 24x50 first focal plane riflescope (6) $837.49 (save 20%) $669.99 free 2 day shipping 3 models u.s. optics ts 8x 1 8x24mm second focal plane riflescopes (1) as low as (save up to 35%) $521.25.

A riflescope’s reticle is placed in either the first focal plane (ffp) or the second focal plane (sfp). the main difference between them is that an sfp reticle will appear to be the same size regardless of magnification. with an ffp reticle, the size of the reticle will appear to change as the scope’s magnification is changed. Rear focal plane because the reticle on a rear focal plane scope always stays the same size, the subtensions will only be accurate on one specific magnification – typically your maximum magnification. so, again, if you’re using the same mil based reticle as above, you’d need to be on 25x for your mils to be accurate for holdover shooting.
Riflescope Dhf 1 7x24 (1st Focal Plane Reticle)
A first focal plane scope adjusts both the reticle and the target image together with changes in magnification. it’s a safe bet to assume that this style of scope will be more expensive than its second focal plane counterpart. this is because greater tolerances and care are needed to make the first focal plane riflescope function properly. Here is a video describing the difference between first and second focal plane, and the advantages of first focal plane. for me it's a must for practical lo. The new 1 7x24mm tactical scope features dual focal plane mdr technology that integrates the close range, quick targeting of a second focal plane (sfp) illuminated dot with the medium to long range versatility of a first focal plane (ffp) mil dot reticle. If the reticle is placed in the first focal plane (ffp), which is in front of the erector assembly, it will remain in the same proportion to the target, regardless of the scope’s magnification. in other words, as the riflescope magnifies the target, it also magnifies the reticle.

Efforts to launch a satellite last April failed when the rocket exploded moments after lift-off. This time, however, both South Korea and Japan confirmed that all three stages from today’s launch separated successfully, and a U.S. military official acknowledged that “[i]nitial indications are that the missile deployed an object that appeared to achieve orbit.”
The timing of the launch coincides with the one-year anniversary of the death of North Korean leader, Kim Jong Il, who passed away on December 17, 2011. The launch also falls within the centennial of the birth of North Korea’s founding leader, Kim Il Sung, and is expected to help consolidate the rule of the new leader, Kim Jong Un. But the launch may also be in response partly to an agreement by the United States last month which allows South Korea to build ballistic missiles with a range of 800 meters, allowing it to target all of North Korea’s territory. South Korean armed forces, which fall under U.S. military command, were formerly limited to missiles with a range of 300 meters. Moreover, North and South Korea are both engaged in developing satellite launch capability, with South Korea announcing postponement of its third attempt last month, after two previous failures.
While North Korea claims its intentions have been to place a satellite in orbit, other countries allege that its space program is a thinly veiled attempt to develop long-range ballistic missiles capable of delivering nuclear warheads as far as the shores of the United States. The Six Party denuclearization talks between North Korea, South Korea, the United States, Japan, China, and Russia broke down five years ago when the outgoing Bush administration demanded intrusive inspections of North Korea’s nuclear facilities, which North Korea considered a violation of its sovereignty, and when the incoming administration of South Korean President Lee Myung Bak cut off aid to North Korea in an effort to pressure it into giving up its nuclear weapons.
Although an international response to North Korea’s launch yesterday has yet to take shape, approaches to restraining North Korea’s pursuit of nuclear weapons generally divide along neo-Cold War lines with the United States, South Korea, and Japan typically seeking punitive sanctions against North Korea, and China urging reconciliation. The United States, which maintains sophisticated satellite surveillance of North Korea, called today’s launch “highly provocative,” Japan called it “extremely regrettable,” and South Korea convened an emergency security meeting in Seoul.
While urging North Korea to “suspend all activities related to its ballistic missile program,” China also called for “the resumption of the long stalled six party talks.” It advised that “[i]n international relations, as in life, the best way to make an enemy of a country is to treat it like one.” As China’s official news agency, Xinhua stated, “This rule of thumb is also true with making friends.”
Underlying regional responses to North Korea’s successful launch is the irresolution of the Korean War. North Korea remains locked in the oldest adversarial relationship of the Cold War with the U.S. and its allies. Nearly 60 years old, the 1953 armistice agreement has yet to be replaced with a peace treaty. Although it has regularly pressed the United States for a peace treaty to end the Korean War, North Korea has resisted demands by the U.S. and South Korea to disarm unilaterally in the absence of formal agreements to guarantee its security, and it continues to develop nuclear weapons, justifying them as a defensive measure. South Korea and Japan remain under the nuclear umbrella of the U.S, and the region continues to be one of the most heavily militarized in the world.

Yea, the silencer is a bit thick. It might also appear thicker in the picture because there is a little flash (extra plastic) on the silencer from when I injected it.

The certificate/security needed for rifles seems a bigger deal than that needed for shotguns. I do have an air rifle that I need to get practising with, but that will only do pigeons and very close, very slow rabbits.
Permissions, insurance, etc all very valid points but I think I'm a way off that skill level yet
||Shotgun licences much easier to get than firearms. Do have a go at clay shooting, it's good fun. Expensive hobby if you get hooked though (as I've found out).|
Nowt wrong with a decent (just) sub 12ftlb airgun. No, ,it won't get you a bunny at 100m but you'd need to be a pretty good shot to do that with any firearm.
I'd practice with the airgun you have (what is it and what sight do you have?). Start with targets at 20m and work up to 50m (plenty for the airgun). Don't bother with buying targets, just draw black circles on waste cardboard and staple that to wooden stakes at range. Lying down (Prone) is generally the most accurate method and get yourself some support. A bipod is nice but a rucksack or pillowcase with some old rags / poly beads / newspaper / whatever achieves the same end.
Have a look at this. Although it's long range and rimfire, the techniques are the same regardless of range and calibre.
After you've put a few hundred pellets downrange, you should have a good idea of how accurate you and your rifle are. As long as you keep your quarry within that range then you'll be fine. OK, after a while you'll probably want to extend that range and that's the time to look at getting a licence. Having used an airgun for a while will put you in a better position come the Firearms officers question session though
A quick bit of advice on shooting law: If you trespass on land you don't have specific permission to shoot on with your airgun OR if one of your pellets goes onto that land, you are guilty of armed trespass! That's 5 years inside OK, the landowner would have to be pretty churlish to do that to anyone but it ain't worth the risk. Best to talk to some local farmers and ask if it's ok to zero your rifle initially. If they're OK with that then there's a good chance that they'll be more agreeable to letting you hunt small game / vermin later. Oh, while I think of it Google "General Licences". It's worth being aware of them
Word travels quickly in the farming community: I started off shooting rats with an airgun for a dairy farmer. He was so impressed that I actually collected the bodies for him that he told all his mates. I now have permission to shoot everything from Rats to Deer over thousands of acres and it's enabled me to get my section 1 licence
I hope this hasn't come across as patronising Feel free to PM me if you think I can help further.
An air rifle would be good start as it avoids needing a shotgun licence or firearms certificate.
If you want or need a shotgun for vermin control a small .410 is ace - http://www.shootinguk.co.uk/reviews/shotgun/gun-reviews-mossberg-410-shotgun.
A rifle that requires a firearms certificate is a lot of hassle to get and you're limited to where you can shoot.
Did you manage to sort anything out?
The best way I can think of is finding someone who shoots locally who can show you the ropes. I know that can be hard, a bit like finding a local tradesman who's highly recommended, but it would make things much easier.
You may have a local shooting club that could offer a cheap introduction to shooting but they can be variable depending on the type of members they have (some are more aimed at pure target shooting than others). Might be worth asking as even a target shooting club will probably have a bunny or bambi bashing members.
As for what to shoot, if you have access to land with a safe backstop a simple .22LR bolt action rifle is probably one of the easiest things to shoot. Much easier than a springer air rifle IMO. | weapons_science |

According to the terms of the contract, for a period of three years, the Samokov company undertakes to deliver a total of 98 armored and special vehicles of 10 different modifications and to equip a technical center for post-warranty service and repair of acquired equipment. This is the first project of its kind in the Ministry of Defense in the last 30 years, in which the Armed Forces receives new combat equipment and communication and control systems from a Bulgarian manufacturer. For the first time, the MoD has a Contractor who has undertaken to provide also a 5-year warranty period for military equipment, including the replacement of all consumables for cars during this period. The challenge for Samel-90 was and still is very big, given the many different objective and subjective factors and problems, the complex international logistics, the COVID crisis, the need for entirely self-financing of the project. However, at the end of November this year, instead of the planned 33 cars for the first year of the contract, Samel-90 produced, integrated and handed over to the Assignor 45 cars. The company's ambition is to complete the project for delivery of all armored vehicles with one year ahead of schedule, despite the extremely great difficulties in logistics and delivery of materials and components. At the same time, some important requirements have better parameters than those set out in the contract - for example, all tactical and special armored pickups have a higher level of ballistic protection, without changing the other operating parameters of the car. In addition to the delivery of the first armored vehicles and defense products for the first year of the contract, 94 representatives of the Joint Special Operations Command were trained at Samel-90. The company is committed to providing additional training to the specialists of SCSO, if necessary. In the development of all types of armored vehicles Samel-90 relied on the concept of upgrading the combat and functional capabilities of each type of military equipment. The goal is in the future for the user to be able to integrate additional systems and capabilities, depending on the missions that will be performed by SCSO. In addition, the integrated armored platform could be used for the needs of units of the Land Forces, Navy and Military Police Service and, if necessary, changes in construction and integration can be made depending on specific requirements. During the first year of the contract and in the process of production and acceptance of defense products, specialists from the Joint Special Operations Command, the Institute of Defense - MoD and the Armaments Policy Directorate provided exceptional professional support and assistance, which is one an illustrative and excellent example of the joint work of the user and the manufacturer. This, in turn, is the first step in many years to restore technical and industrial cooperation between the Armed Forces and the Bulgarian defense industry, and the benefits of this process are extremely important and great. The presence of a Bulgarian industrial defense base benefits the entire economy of the country and allows companies in the industry to participate and defend the Bulgarian interest in new projects for the development of European defense science and industry. This is one of the important factors that allow Samel-90 to receive orders for similar products from customers abroad. | weapons_science |

First, a bit of background on the Sportsman’s “Ideal” Hunting Knife as Webster Marble referred to the knife first released in 1900.
In the1903 Catalog he listed three “Styles”; Style No. 1 featured a laminated leather handle with polished staghorn pommel.
Style No. 2 was a Pinned Stag Horn Handle and Staghorm Pommel and Style No. 3 a hard rubber handle with six inch blade.
Styles 1 and 2 were available with 5, 6, 7 and 8 inch blades.
In 1906 the knives were “renamed” Model 41, 42 and 43 respectively.
In 1907, Marble was having difficulty obtaining sufficient staghorn to supply the entire line of this popular knife. The Model 41 received a pommel made of Lignum Vitae, a super dense exotic hardwood in place of the staghorn. The difficulty was resolved and the pommel was returned to staghorn after the 1911 production run until; 1920 when it was replaced with aluminum.
This knife features a lignum vitae pommel with the correct profile and 1/2” nut narrowing the production date to the period between 1907 and 1911.
Now for the story behind it the knife. Remember, a smart collector may well pay attention to “the story” but he pays money for THE KNIFE. Stories can be fabricated as easily as they can be true and without provenance add only interest to the knife.
The knife came from the second owner who purchased it from the family of Bill Finney a “Timber Cruiser” who worked the eastern U.P. around the turn of the last century. Bill carried the knife for a few years before putting it away. The knife he carried for the remainder of his career was a Marble’s Woodcraft, I wish I knew where it ended up.
In the time he used the knife, he modified it by grinding off the guard and lengthening the choil to allow choking up on the knife to end up with about five inches of useful blade.
The eight inch knife is certainly the more expensive of the line, costing a third again the price of the five inch version so I don’t think a thrifty “Timber Cruiser” would have spent the extra money. He also didn’t trade it off when he obtained the Woodcraft.
Since Webster Marble was a “Timber Crusier” in the same area and general time period, and those guys generally worked together or at least knew one another, could this have been a gift from Webster?
We’ll likely never know but the story has some merit and certainly adds interest to a knife that needs little help.
It’s in the used knife case for $650 and on the website for $595… It’s going to be an awesome addition to someone’s collection. | weapons_science |

Around 2800 BC, the bow and arrow were more often used as a defense mechanism in Egyptian civilization. In the 16th and 17th centuries, the bow and arrow became an enjoyable sport in England. Now, archery is a popular sport that has been able to gain people’s interest to take archery lessons. However, while some may see archery as a fun hobby, there is actually much more to it than meets the eye.
Every archer knows that archery provides more than a mere enjoyment. The practice of drawing a bow and shooting arrows has a great number of benefits to it. Archery builds muscle strength and muscle endurance; the practice requires solid core strength and control of your shoulders, chest, arms, and hands. In archery, the tension on these muscles groups is typically maintained for several seconds before the archer releases the string to shoot an arrow. With repetition, this act leads to muscle development in most of the major muscle groups of the upper body. Archery also works on your posture and balance since the core also becomes better at gaining control of the body’s balance as you practice on regular basis.
Little did people know, archery also has a positive impact on one’s mental health. The act of focusing on a target, drawing the bow and firing the arrow certainly takes great focus and confidence. Before competing against others, an archer actually competes against himself. As he practices over and over again, he will see improvement in his form and techniques, and this boosts his confidence. The confidence and improved mental focus gained in archery can help an archer to cope in high-pressure situations in daily life. | weapons_science |

In general but, warriors of the Samurai era carried the katana using the buke-zukuri method. This basically means that the katana was carried by keeping its cutting edges facing forward and the sheath passing through the sash ( the obi).
Can a sword slice through bone?
A Katana could be able to cut through bone when it’s very powerful or very heavy. If it’s very heavy it won’t cut, but rather smash its route through bone. The weight and force involved overwhelm bone’s capacity to absorb impact , and it cracks. Katanas can take from the head (or the head) of a foe.
Step-by-Step Instructions for Drawing a Katana
Katana Drawing Step 1
1. Start by drawing the Tsuba, or guard of the Katana. Make an oval but do not seal it completely. The blade will appear through the opening. After that, draw a curving line across the design so that it has a 3D appearance.
Katana Drawing Step 2
2. Then sketch the habaki collar or blade the l2. Then, sketch the habaki or the blade collar The point where blades attach onto the handle. Draw straight lines on a small cube that has one side that is open.
Katana Drawing Step 3
3. Draw the blade of the katana. Make two lines slightly curving from the collar of the blade. The longest line is the mune, or back of the blade. another line is the sharp or ha edges of blade. The lines should join at a point or kissaki. The curving edge that runs between the back and front part of the blade known as boshi.
Katana Drawing Step 4
4. Draw a curving line that is parallel to the edge of the bla4. Draw a curving line that is parallel to the edge of the blade. This is what creates the shinogi which is also known as the blade ridge. Draw an unwavy line across to the edge of your blade, forming the edge or hamon pattern.
Katana Drawing Step 5
5. Draw the handle of the sword or the tsuka. Utilize straight lines joined with a curving line. Draw a curving line across the point to create the pommel or kashira and then embellish it by a tiny half-circle.
Katana Drawing Step 6
6. Draw small diamonds that extend to the edges of the hand. Then join those edges of the handle using curves. This pattern represents that the hand is a tsuka Ito also known as cord wrap.
Katana Drawing Step 7
7. Draw the scabbard or saya. Create two long curving lines, then join them at both ends. Draw another curving line at each side to create the illusion of hollow tubes.
Katana Drawing Step 8 and 9
8. Draw the sageo, or the hanging cord, and erase as needed. Make a rectangle that is rounded and then band it with curving lines. Make a line at each end and fold it over itself. Next, draw a curved line across it.
9. Draw rectangular curved shapes beneath the cord, erasing them as required and banding them using curly lines. Within the forms, apply the curved lines to make the three-sectioned knot.

The unit ammunition of a small firearm is in the form of a cartridge. Typically a cartridge consists of:
- A cartridge case
- A primer
- Propellant (gun-powder)
- Bullet or projectiles
- Wads if any
Cartridge cases are usually made of brass (70% Copper and 30% Zinc). Less commonly they are made of steel. Brass, plastic and paper are used for shot shell tubes.
The main function of the cartridge case is to expand and seal the chamber against escape of gases when cartridge is fired.
There are three general shapes for cartridge cases: straight, bottle neck and tapered.
Almost all pistol cartridges are straight, whereas almost all rifle cartridges are bottled neck. The bottle neck design permits more power to be packed in a shorter, fatter cartridge.
Rifled firearms can be broadly classified into:
It is the longitudinal cutting of inside of the bore of a weapon, with a number of spiral grooves that run parallel to each other but are twisted spirally from chamber end to muzzle end. The raised portions on the bore are called lands and the lowered ones the grooves. Rifling varies in number, direction, depth and width, and these variations are reflected on the fired bullets.
Class Characteristics of Fired Bullets
When a bullet is fired down a rifled barrel, the rifling imparts a number of markings to the bullet. These markings may indicate the make and model of the gun from which the bullet was fired. They result from the specifications of the rifling, as laid down by the individual manufacturers.
These characteristics are:
- Number of lands and grooves
- Diameter of lands and grooves
- Width of lands and grooves
- Depth of grooves
- Direction of rifling twist
- Degree of twist
Individual Characteristics of Fired Bullets
In addition to class characteristics, imperfections on the surfaces of the lands and grooves score the bullets, producing individual characteristics. These individual characteristics are peculiar to the particular firearms that fired the bullets. They are as individual as finger prints.
Bullets fired from a gun will have striae (linear grooves) imparted as a consequence of transversing the barrel and may help in identification of the weapon.
Mechanism of Bullet and Shots Injury
- Basic principle is kinetic energy = ½ mv2
- For damage to occur, some or all of the kinetic energy of the missile has to be absorbed by the target tissues, where it is dissipated as:
- Mechanical disruption
To ensure transfer of energy to the tissues, some missiles are especially designed or modified to slow up or stop within the body, e.g.
- Soft headed bullets
- Air cavity within tip
- Explosive tipped bullets
- Bullets to be fired in confined places e.g. in aircrafts, to combat hijacking
Orientation (or impact) of Bullet
A bullet striking sideways will produce more damage due to more contact between the projectile and the tissues, thus transferring more kinetic energy.
Speed of Bullet
Projectile up to speed of sound i.e. 100 ft/sec inflicts damage mainly due to mechanical disruption of the tissues (e.g. revolver).
Supersonic bullets i.e. those with a speed above the speed of sound in air have additional damaging phenomena:
- Shock wave of compression
- Cavitation phenomenon –due to acceleration of tissue molecules around the track of bullet
- ‘Suction’ by near vacuum
- Ricochet phenomenon within body
- Secondary missiles within body
Factors Affecting Missile Wounds
Nature of firearm wound depends upon the following factors:
- Weapon –smooth bored or rifled
- Muzzle velocity
- Nature of projectile
- Nature of propellant
- Range of discharge
- Angle of discharge
- Degree of choke/if any
Terminal (Wound) Ballistics
- The bullet or shot initially stretches the skin and then penetrates into it
- Therefore there is an abraded or contusion collar around the entry wound
- Due to transfer of metallic particles due to rub of the bullet, there will be a smudge, or dirt ring around the wound. It may contain metal as well as grease elements of the cartridge.
- In close distance firing, there may be blackening of clothing or skin around the entry wound due to deposition of carbon particles on the skin surface (can be washed away)
- Tattooing of skin around entry wound may be produced when carbon particles are deeply thrust into the skin (cannot be washed away)
- In close wounds, due to heat effect of hot gases, there may be scorching of tissues around the wound.
Rifled Firearm Injuries
The injuries may be classified into:
- Contact wounds
- Close range wounds
- Medium/distant range wounds
- Exit wounds
- Wound is circular and smaller (may be stellate shaped over scalp)
- Burning/blackening of immediate wound edges
- Soot within the tissues may be found (usually is less)
- Muzzle mark/imprint
- Inverted margins of the wound
- ‘Back spatter’ i.e. blood is sucked up into barrel of the weapon (not common)
Close Range Wounds
- Almost always circular in shape
- Edges are inverted
- Collar of abrasion
- ‘Metal fouling’
- Burning effects (within a few centimeters)
- Tattooing around (or stippling)
Medium/Distant Range Wounds
- From less than 0.5m to several kilometres entry wounds appear alike
- There is abrasion collar around entry wound
- Wound is inverted
- Ring of dirt or grease ring
- A bullet striking sideways may produce a rectangular lacerated wound
- Exit wound depends upon:
- Intactness of bullet
- Secondary missiles generated within the body
- If bullet is not seriously deformed in the body, the exit wound is classically of a stellate shape, with triangular skin flaps
- Entry and exit may appear similar
- There may be multiple exit wounds due to secondary missiles
- Single bullet may produce multiple entry and exit wounds (multiple entry wounds are due to separate entrance wounds of jacket and core from same bullet)
- Fragmentation of bullet and intermediate target may produce irregular entrance wound
- Shored exit wound shows abrasion around exit wound, when a person standing against a wall or lying on the ground is fired.
Shot Gun Injuries
Breach end is the rear end, while muzzle end is the front end of the barrel.
In smooth bored guns, the muzzle end may be slightly constricted to control the degree of dispersion of pellets.
Full choke means the constriction of the order of forty thousandths of an inch. Interpretation of distance, which is based on dispersion of pellets, may be wrong due choke.
Device used to adjust the choke.
The number of pellets that can be made from 1 lb of Pb, which have diameter equal to the barrel.
Cartridge is a completely assembled round of ammunition, which includes:
- Cartridge case
- Powder charge
- Wadding and pellets
Slug is a small solid projectile for a smooth bore weapon, generally pellets are the projectiles in shot guns.
Following constituents of the cartridge may contribute to the wound:
- Lead pellets
- Soot (smoke and debris)
- Un burnt and burning propellant particles
- Flame/hot gases under pressure
- Detonator constituents
- Carbon monoxide
The appearance of shot gun wound is greatly modified by variations in the range of fire into:
- Contact wound
- Near contact wound
- Short range wound
- Distant range wound
Shotgun Contact Wound
When muzzle is placed firmly against body surface, contact wound is found.
- A single wound of entry is present
- Generally circular in shape
- Size is equal to bore of the weapon
- Split off skin in scalp may cause a cruciate, stellate or ragged shaped wound
- Tattooing, blackening and burning is minimal as the skin acts as a seal against the muzzle
- Wads inside wound may be found if muzzle is not pressed firmly
- Muzzle impression
- Rarely a ring mark adjacent to the wound due to contact of double barrel
- Pinkish discoloration of tissues in the wound track due to carbon monoxide.
Shotgun Near Contact Wound (or close range wound approx. 6 inches)
- Clothing will trap most if not all of the soot and powder grains of near contact fire
- On naked skin following features are produced:
- Singeing of hair, ‘clubbed hair’
- Skin burns due to flame/hot gases
- Smoke/soot soiling around the wound
- Tattooing around the wound
- Partly burnt/unburnt flakes or grains of propellant on the surrounding skin
- Wound is circular or elliptical, depending upon the angle of fire
- Edges are nibbled or irregular due to individual pellets
- Distant bruising around wound due to gas pressure trauma
Short Range Wound (approx. 6 inches to 6 feet)
- Soot soiling vanishes after 1 foot
- Tattooing may be seen
- Wound is single but with crenated margins
- Rat-hole injury
- Separate wad injury as an abrasion or bruise
Distant Rage Wound (>6 feet)
- Not soot or burning effect
- Number of separate pellet holes increase progressively around the main wound
- The wad often takes the lower trajectory and may strike below the main wound (up to 15 feet distance)
- Beyond 6-10 metres, the central hole may shrink to nothing
Exit Wound in Shot Gun Injuries
- Exit wounds are uncommon on the trunk of adults
- Extremely large exit wounds may be produced in head, neck or limbs and in children
- No cavitation effect is seen
Direction of Shot Gun Wounds
- If fired at right angle to the body shape is regular and circular
- If fired at all other angles, shape is elliptical, wound edges may be shelved
- Track of wound in tissues may indicate the direction | weapons_science |
