Chropi rifle The Chropi Rifle was a battle rifle built by Chropei ( ) , a Greek chemicals company , which used the " Chropi " spelling on its weapons . It was designed by a team under Mr . Sotiris Sofianopoulos ( apparently based on an original Greek - Cypriot design ) and was proposed to the Greek Army in 1975 . It was a simple and rather outdated design , clearly inferior to the Heckler & Koch G3 , which was adopted ( produced by the state - run EBO company ) . The rifle was rejected after a series of tests indicated that the weapon itself did not adhere to all of the desired standards . The company , nonetheless , had created all necessary infrastructure for the rifle ' s production and a small number were produced and delivered to the Greek Army but these ended up being kept in storage facilities .
AMX - 30 Bridge The AMX - 30 Bridge is a French bridge - laying engineering vehicle based on the AMX - 30 tank chassis . Design . The chassis of this variant is almost identical to the AMX - 30 . Instead of the turret , a scissors bridge is laid hydraulically over the rear of the vehicle . Deployment and retraction time of the bridge is about 5 minutes , and has a span of 20 meters . The bridge is erected vertically , and can therefore be easily seen by enemy forces . Night vision optics and NBC ( nuclear , biological and chemical ) defense systems are standard fittings . History . The AMX - 30 was manufactured by Nexter . The first prototype of the AMX - 30 Bridge was built in the mid 60s , but production did not start until the mid 70s . It was intended to be used in tandem with the AMX - 30 , having no armament of its own . It was not used by the French army ; 12 vehicles are in usage by the Saudi Arabian Army .

Zielgerät 1229 The Zielgerät " 1229 ( ZG 1229 ) , also known in its code name Vampir " , was an active infrared device developed for the Wehrmacht for the Sturmgewehr 44 assault rifle , intended primarily for night use . Design . The ZG 1229 Vampir weighed in at 2 . 25 kilograms ( about 5 lbs . ) and was fitted with lugs on the StG 44 at C . G . Haenel at Suhl , the weapons production facility . The grenadier carrying this was known as a Nachtjäger ( night - hunter ) . As well as the sight and spotlight , there was a 13 . 5 kilogram ( about 30 lbs . ) wooden cased battery for the light , and a second battery fitted inside a gas mask container to power the image converter . This was all strapped to a Tragegestell 39 ( pack frame 1939 ) . The searchlight consisted of a conventional tungsten light source shining through a filter permitting only infrared light . It operated in the upper infrared ( light ) spectrum rather than in the lower infrared ( heat ) spectrum and therefore was not sensitive to body heat . Use . Vampir gear was first used in combat in February 1945 . However , small arms infrared device introduction took place in early 1944 . 310 units were delivered to the Wehrmacht at the final stages of the war . Eastern Front veteran reports consist of snipers shooting at night with the aid of ' peculiar non - shining torches coupled with enormous optical sights ' mounted on their rifles . Similar infrared gear was fitted both to MG34 and MG42 machine guns . In popular culture . Much of the plot of Stephen Hunter ' s novel " The Master Sniper " revolves around the development and employment of the " Vampir " system . It is also referenced in Hunter ' s book " Black Light " . The video game has an alternate history Wehrmacht using the Vampir on a fictional Gewehr 47 sniper rifle . While it does allow for night vision , it also can be seen by other Vampir users thanks to its active nature .
Ahatovići massacre Ahatovići massacre refers to a massacre , committed by the Army of the Republika Srpska , of 47 captured Bosniak soldiers from the village of Ahatovići , in the municipality of Novi Grad , Sarajevo during the Bosnian War . Background . From 29 May 1992 to 2 June 1992 , the village of Ahatovići was shelled by Bosnian Serb units from the Yugoslav National Army ( JNA ) barracks in the villages of Rajlovac and Butile . When the shelling stopped on 2 June 1992 , the villagers were finally able to leave their shelters , and found that their homes had been burned to the ground . About 120 poorly - armed men from Ahatovići tried to mount a defence as best they could , but they were unable to resist the onslaught from Bosnian Serb infantry and artillery attacks for long . Those who had not been killed in the battle surrendered soon afterwards . The prisoners were then taken to the barracks in Rajlovac , where they were kept in a hangar for almost two weeks in inhuman conditions , being beaten and tortured on a regular basis . Massacre . On 14 June , 56 prisoners from Ahatovići were ordered onto a bus . They were told that they were on their way to a prisoner exchange . The bus was stopped and the hostages , men between 17 and 63 years old , were told that the bus ' s radiator had boiled over and that they should lie face - down on the floor while water was fetched from a stream . According to survivors , Bosnian Serb gunmen then got off the bus , walked 30 yards up a stony hillside and opened fire on the vehicle with a bazooka and automatic weapons . Aftermath . The Bosnian Serbs left without checking for survivors ; the eight surviving Bosniaks waited for nightfall to escape through the forest to a nearby Muslim village , whose residents buried the victims of the massacre the following day . In 1996 , about 50 victims were exhumed from a mass grave beneath a meadow in the village of Sokolina . By the end of the Bosnian War , only one Bosniak family remained in Ahatovići . The atrocity was overlooked until 2001 when Dutch documentary maker Heddy Honigmann made a documentary about the massacre . The documentary was entitled " Good Husband , Dear Son " and visited the village . Survivors of the massacre and the families of the victims were interviewed about the war and their lives before and after .
Cañón 155 mm . L 45 CALA 30 The 155mm L45 CALA 30 / 2 Gun ( Argentine Army denomination : Cañón 155 mm . L 45 CALA 30 ) is an Argentinian long range field artillery system developed for and in service with the Argentine Army . Development . Developed in late 1980s and early 1990s by CITEFA as Cañón de artillería de largo alcance calibre 155 milímetros L45 CALA 30 in order to supplement ( and eventually replace ) the CITER 155mm L33 Gun still in service in the Argentine Army . The development incorporates lessons learned in the use of artillery from the Falklands War . Battlefield scenarios that motivated the L45 development were that British seaborne troops were unable to leave the beaches for an extended period of time . Argentine forward observers could not call in long range artillery since it the longest range guns , the L33 ' s , were too widely dispersed and out of range . Cluster munitions were developed for use on the L45 for this reason as well . CITEFA designed an improved version , known as CALA 30 / 2 , which incorporated improvements from testing of the first prototype . This was tested in 1996 , when a range of 39 km was claimed using special ammunition EFRB - BB ( Extended Range Full Bore – Base Bleed ) . Service . It is believed that small numbers are in service with the Argentine Army .
