Battle of Slobodyshche Battle of Słobodyszcze or Battle of Slobodyshche took place around 7 and 8 October 1660 during the Russo - Polish War ( 1654 – 1667 ) between Polish - Lithuanian Commonwealth ( and their Tatar allies ) and the Tsardom of Russia allied Cossaks near Slobodyshche ; it ended with a stalemate which was a tactical Polish victory as the Poles were able to continue the siege of Russian encampment at the battle of Chudniv . Some historians speculate that there was never any battle of Slobodyshche , and it was a mistification created by Cossack leader Yurii Khmelnytsky and Polish commanders ( Jerzy Sebastian Lubomirski ) - Khmelnytsky did not want to aid Russian voivode Vasily Sheremetev who was besieged at Chudniv , and Poles were able to concentrate on that task - there is however no consensus on that variant . Whether the battle took place or not , Khmelnytsky did not push his Cossacks for an assault on the Polish lines and ( suffering from heavy desertions ) he decided to enter negotiations with the Poles . The Treaty of Cudniv was signed on 17 October , mostly repeating the 1657 Treaty of Hadyach ( although the creation of Duchy of Ruthenia had to be confirmed by the Polish king ) and pledging Cossaks allegiance to the Poles .

Flash - ball Flash - Ball is a registered trademark for a nominally non - lethal hand - held weapon used mainly by law enforcement officers in riot situations as an alternative to lethal firearm s , baton round s , and plastic bullet s . It was developed by French hunting firearms manufacturer Verney - Carron . The weapon exists in two versions of caliber 44 / 83 . The super - pro version features vertically stacked barrels and is made from metal alloys , while the compact version is made from lighter composite materials with the twin barrels side by side . Both versions of the weapon can be used to fire a variety of ammunition although a soft 44 mm rubber ball is the most common . According to the manufacturer ' s own publicity , the Flash - Ball ' s standard round packs the stopping power of a . 38 caliber handgun but considerably less kinetic energy per sq . cm thus making it unlikely to penetrate the body of a normally clothed person even at ranges down to 5 meters . This said , various human rights groups have expressed fears that the widespread deployment of such weapons could result in police being less likely to apply non - violent tactics when dealing with potentially dangerous situations . Serious eye injuries and one death due to cardiac arrest have been attributed to the use of " Flash - Ball " .
Devil Dog Devil Dog is a motivational nickname for a U . S . Marine . It is said to be based on the apocryphal use of " Teufel Hunden " [ sic ] by German soldiers to describe Marines fighting in World War I . Origin . According to United States Marine Corps legend , the moniker was used by German soldiers to describe U . S . Marines who fought in the Battle of Belleau Wood in 1918 . The Marines fought with such ferocity that they were likened to " Dogs from Hell . " The reports were made by American media and not verified by actual Germans . The " Devil Dogs " nickname for Marines first appeared in newspapers in the United States in April 1918 - about two months " before " the Battle of Belleau Wood . The LaCrosse Tribune ran a story about the nickname on April 27 , 1918 , and other newspapers used the story as early as April 14 , 1918 . The Battle of Belleau Wood began on June 1 , 1918 . The April 27th article from the LaCrosse Tribune was probably referring to the action on April 20 , 1918 , the first action between the Marines and the Germans . The Germans made several attacks against the Marines on that date and were unable to dislodge them . The article states that it was the first scrap between the Marines and the Germans , showing that it was prior to the major fighting in June . Grammar problem . In German grammar , a compound noun is always a single word , so using two words " Teufel Hunden " is grammatically incorrect . The correct German would be Teufelshunde in nominative , genitive , and accusative cases , and Teufelshunden only in the dative . In either form , the linking element " s " steps between the words . Examples : Furthermore , the word " Teufelshund " , though not unknown in the German language , is rare , and this use may possibly be an example of Denglisch . The more common equivalent is " Höllenhund " ( " dog of hell " ) , the German translation of the mythical Kerberos ; a term that can also be used to describe a reckless and courageous person . All this suggests that the Marines were never actually referred to as " devil dogs " by German WWI soldiers . Modern use . The term " Devil Dog " is a very common nickname for all Marines . " Devil Dog " is historically a well - accepted term of endearment , as a title of honor . The " dog " in the phrase is usually associated with the bulldog , in line with the original 1918 poster , such as the bulldog being a common mascot in the Corps . In contrast , the term has also taken on a negative connotation due to its usage when correcting Marines . The term " devil dogged " or " devil dogging " has come to mean lectured or otherwise reprimanded , prefaced with being called out as a " devil dog " . Other nicknames for Marines include Leatherneck and Jarhead .
