9A - 91 The 9A - 91 is a carbine assault rifle currently in use with Russian police forces . The 9A - 91 is a gas operated , rotating bolt weapon , which utilizes a long stroke gas piston , located above the barrel , and a rotating bolt with 4 lugs . The receiver is made from steel stampings ; the forend and pistol grip are made from polymer . The steel buttstock folds up and above the receiver when not in use . The charging handle is welded to the right side of bolt carrier . The safety / fire selector lever is located at the left side of the receiver , above the trigger guard , and allows for semi - and full - automatic fire . The flip - up rear sight has settings for 100 and 200 meters range , but the relatively short sight base and steep trajectory of the subsonic bullet effectively restricts the 9A91 to ranges of about 100 meters , at which the 9 x 39 ammunition is clearly superior in penetration and hitting power to either 9mm pistol ammunition from submachine guns , or 5 . 45 and 5 . 56 mm ammunition from compact assault rifles like AKS - 74U or HK - 53 .

Massacre at Ayyadieh The massacre of Ayyadieh occurred on the 20th August 1191 . It was perpetrated by Richard Coeur de Lion , better known as Richard the Lion Heart , during the Crusades to recover the holy land from the saracens under the command of Saladin . It is best understood in the context of Richard ' s attempt to take the city of Acre . The struggle for the city was unusually vicious even by Crusade standards , where little mercy was shown or asked for by soldiers on both sides , and massacres were common place , particularly against the citizens of a captured city . On the fall of Acre , Richard attempted to negotiate with Saladin offering a large number of captured prisoners in exchange for the True Cross ( reputedly the actual cross upon which Jesus Christ had been crucified ) , together with a large ransom and a number of Christian captives taken by Saladin ' s men in earlier clashes with the crusaders . Saladin stalled for time in the hope that an approaching Muslim army would allow him to retake control of the city . When Saladin refused a request from Richard to provide a list of names of important Christians held by the Saracens , Richard Cour de Lion took this as the delaying tactic that it probably was , and insisted that the ransom payment and prisoner exchange should occur within one month . When the deadline was not met Richard became infuriated and decided on a savage punishment of Saladin for his perceived intransigence . Richard personally oversaw and planned the massacre which took place on a small hill called Ayyadieh , a few miles from Acre . The killings were carried out in full view of the Muslim army and Saladin ' s own field headquarters . Over 3 , 000 men , women and children , were beaten to death , axed or killed with swords and lances . A Muslim force so enraged by this act attempted to charge the crusader lines but was repeatedly beaten back , allowing Richard and his army to retire in good order . Aftermath . Any hope of regaining the True Cross disappeared after Ayyadieh , it was rumored that Saladin sent it to Damascus . By his orders the Christian prisoners were executed in Damascus . Aayadieh is perhaps the strongest refutation of Richard as a courteous and chivalrous warrior king . On this occasion his almost " theatrical " staging of the massacre showed that he was capable of using terror tactics in an attempt to terrify his opponents into submission . This form of warfare was used by both sides and the Muslims were no exception once a besieged city had fallen to them .
Tom Brown ( British Army soldier ) Sir Thomas Brown ( 1705 – 1746 ) was born in Kirkleatham , in present day Redcar and Cleveland , England .

He also had his nose cut off . On the battlefield he was knighted as a Knight banneret by King George II , becoming the last man to be so honoured . Brown died in Yarm in 1746 and is buried there in the churchyard of St Mary Magdalene ' s church .

Young ' s Scouts Young ' s Scouts was a select group of United States Army soldiers during the Philippine - American War organized under a Vermont civilian named William H . Young . Because of his previous experience as a soldier and soldier of fortune and his demonstrated coolness under fire , Young came to the notice of General Henry W . Lawton , who hired Young as his Chief Scout during Lawton ' s Northern Campaign . Young ' s Scouts acted as an advance guard and engaged in search and destroy missions . The exploits and valor of Young ' s Scouts soon brought them to the attention of the American public . Members of Young ' s Scouts came from several units in Lawton ' s command , including the 1st North Dakota Volunteers , the 2nd Oregon Volunteers , and the 4th U . S . Cavalry ( dismounted ) . Although the original unit was composed of 25 men , Scouts came and went as casualties and sickness took their toll . In two different engagements a number of Scouts were recommended for the Medal of Honor , which at the time was the only Army award for valor . On May 14 , 1899 , William Young was wounded in the knee in an engagement at San Miguel de Mayumo with what was described as a minor wound . He was conveyed to the 1st Reserve Hospital in Manila with a request by Lawton that he receive the best of care . Ironically , although the initial assessment of Young ' s wound was that he would probably end up with nothing more serious than a stiff knee , he died a few days later , presumably of tetanus . Young ' s Scouts continued to operate under several different officers for the remainder of Lawton ' s Northern Campaign .
Puteaux SA 18 The Puteaux SA 18 was a French single - shot , breech - loading cannon , used from World War I onward , primarily mounted on combat vehicles . It was a simple , reliable weapon with a high rate of fire . It was primarily intended to be used against infantry and machine - gun nests , due to its low muzzle velocity which proscribed anti - armour use . Though armour penetration was poor , even as late as 1939 it was sufficient to combat light armoured vehicles . The gun was operated by one soldier , and found easy to use with a low incidence of jamming . It was sighted on target with a separate scope attached to the left side of the weapon . Technical details . The barrel length was 21 calibres ( L / 21 ) . The maximum rate was 15 rounds per minute , with the effective rate 10 round per minute .

K - 1 ( airship ) The K - 1 was an experimental blimp designed by the United States Navy in 1929 . Due to the inability to get Congressional approval for the construction of an airship the navy used the ploy of ordering a " universal " control car ( type J / K ) which could be used on the J - type airships from the Naval Aircraft Factory . An order was placed with Goodyear for an envelope for " fuel gas experiments " . To complete the deception , there is no record of the US Navy assigning a serial number to the K - 1 , Standard Army TC type tail fins were procured from Goodyear . Unlike past Navy blimps , the control car was not suspended from external cables , but was hung from cables attached to the top of the envelope , and the car was carried flush against the envelope as in modern blimps . The control car carried bunks and a galley so that a relief crew could be carried , and was completely enclosed . The K - 1 was also the first Navy blimp to have a taxi wheel . Like the Graf Zeppelin , the fuel for the K - 1 was " blau gas " a mixture of combustible gases with the same density as air , which meant that the valving of gas as the fuel was consumed was not necessary . The only serious drawback was the tendency of the fuel to leak into the helium which then could not be run through the Lakehurst purification plant , which meant the expensive helium had to be vented to the air when too contaminated or an overhaul was necessary . Operations . K - 1 was assembled at Lakehurst , NJ in the fall of 1931 . After tests it was based at Cape May . In summer 1933 the K - 1 was sent to Lakehurst and after the departure of J - 4 to Sunnyvale , was with the ZMC - 2 , the only flying airships at Lakehurst until 1937 . The K - 1 last flew in September 1940 , and was subsequently used for mooring and snow removal experiments until it was scrapped in October 1941 . The K - 1 was not a popular airship , tending to fly tail low , and was , despite its amenities , thought to be ' uncomfortable . " The K - 1 was " not " the prototype of the later " K Class . "
