Fort Levett Fort Levett was a former U . S . Army fort built on Cushing Island , Maine , in 1898 . Located in Cumberland County , Maine , in the middle of Casco Bay near Portland , Maine , the fort was heavily fortified with cannons for coastal defense . Built in the wake of the Spanish American War , Fort Levett was manned during both World Wars . Fort Levett was built on of Cushing Island , and the coast artillery fortification was visited by several Secretaries of War , including Jacob M . Dickinson , Secretary of War in 1909 . The fort , whose call letters were FV , was part of a network of forts guarding Portland Harbor and Casco Bay , which included Levett , Fort Williams on Portland Head , and Fort McKinley on Great Diamond Island as well as Fort Preble . Fort Scammel and Fort Gorges , once strongly fortified and guarding the harbor entrance , were decommissioned earlier than the previous three forts . The forts were maintained by the Army ' s Ordnance Department . In addition to its artillery , the fort also operated as a wireless telegraph station . In order to furnish its base with water , the army dug four wells on Cushing Island . The island presented other challenges as well . In full view of the battery of artillery was a large summer hotel . " This hotel , " noted a War Department report , " is so near that the guns can not be fired without causing much damage to the building . The occupants of this hotel , if it is allowed to remain there , will be practically in the fort , while the soldiers who garrison the fort will live in barracks at a considerable distance from their guns . " The army subsequently erected cook tents and frame buildings at the fort . Although the owners of the hotel wished the army to purchase it to billet its men , the army resisted the offer , and chose instead to erect its buildings nearby . The fort had a base field hospital for the soldiers , who were part of Batteries A and M . The fort initially boasted 6 - pounder RF guns on field mounts , as well as 15 - pounder RF guns on parapet mounts . By 1920 , the fort had two long - range batteries . Fort Levett was named for English explorer Captain Christopher Levett , an early explorer of the New England coast and the first European to settle what is today Portland , Maine . King Charles I of England granted Levett to found a city the explorer proposed to call York , after his English birthplace . ( Today ' s York County , Maine carries the name of Levett ' s birthplace . ) Levett made his plantation in 1623 , leaving a group of Yorkshiremen behind , and he returned to England . The settlement subsequently failed , and the colonists were never heard from again . Levett never returned to Maine . The fort was last used for coastal defense in World War II , and subsequently the obsolete base was sold by the government , which asked $ 177 , 000 for the property . It was bought by a group of Cushing Island residents after it was decommissioned . Forts Levett and McKinley ultimately became private condominium associations .

Neopup PAW - 20 The Neopup PAW - 20 ( " Personal Assault Weapon , 20 mm " ) is a grenade launcher designed by Tony Neophytou and is marketed by Denel . Overview . The PAW - 20 is a hand - held , semi - automatic grenade launcher that fires a 20 mm point detonating round . It holds up to seven rounds in a conventional box magazine , with an effective range of 300 – 400 meters . It was designed mainly as an anti - personnel grenade launcher for use against opposition closely grouped together or behind light cover . However , it is also compatible with less - than - lethal ammunition . The PAW - 20 is in direct competition with the more complicated and expensive joint American - German XM25 CDTE . The PAW - 20 has attracted some criticism due to the location of the ejection port ; these allegations have largely been proven false , as the spent casings are ejected no closer to the operator ' s face than in a conventional assault rifle being fired from the left hand . Due to the unique location of the pistol grip on the side of the weapon , it can be fired from the left shoulder for a right - handed operator by simply placing the butt on the left shoulder , with no hand swapping necessary . This allows the user the advantage of being able to fire from around or under cover , with little time required to change the grip on the weapon . The right - handed location of the pistol grip also allows the weapon to recoil unimpeded into the shoulder of the operator , allowing for a much more manageable recoil than most weapons of this class . 20x42 mm cartridge . The 20x42 mm cartridge was specifically developed for the PAW - 20 by Denel PMP , decreasing the overall weight and size of the weapon , and enabling it to hold more rounds in the magazine . It has a muzzle velocity of 310 m / s ( 1 , 000 ft / s ) , and a much flatter trajectory than the more common 40mm grenade launcher round . A number of less - than - lethal rounds are also available for the PAW - 20 .
