Colt Defender Mark I Colt Defender Mark I was an American 8 - barrel shotgun intended for law enforcement or military use , completed in 1967 . The shotgun had a semi - automatic like fire without the complexity of being a semi - automatic weapon . Each barrel was chambered for the 20 gauge 3 inch magnum shell . The barrels were joined together around a central axis with a pistol grip double action revolver mechanism and a second forward pistol grip for instinctive shooting . The shotgun was extremely simple to operate and very robust . The designer , Robert Hillberg , thoroughly tested the weapon before seeking out a manufacturer . The design proved to be so correct , that only a couple of minor changes were made for manufacturing . When Colt Industries was contacted , they showed considerable interest in producing the weapon , but before committing to full production they insisted on a market survey to see if there was an adequate market for the gun . Colt demonstrated the weapon to a number of departments , and all who saw it were impressed with its compactness , volume of fire and reliability . However , the national recession at that time did not allow any adoption of the weapon and by 1971 the project was over . The weapon was composed of an aluminum alloy receiver with steel inserts and was covered in an epoxy paint finish . The final version of the weapon was available in 4 variants . The first variant was a simplified one , with no special features . The second variant incorporated a barrel selector on the rotating striker on the hammer . This allowed the shooter to select any one of the eight barrels . This meant that the weapon could be loaded with a variety of ammunition and the shooter could select the most appropriate round for the given situation . The third variant contained a receptacle for a canister of tear gas between the barrels . Pressing the trigger on the foregrip allowed the shooter to spray the target with tear gas , giving him a non - lethal option . The final , fourth variant had both the barrel selector and the tear gas canister .
Attalus ( son of Andromenes ) Attalus ( in Greek Aτταλoς ; lived 4th century BC ) , son of Andromenes the Stymphaean , and one of Alexander ' s officers , was accused with his brothers , Amyntas and Simmias , of having been engaged in the conspiracy of Philotas , 330 BC , but was acquitted , together with his brothers . In 328 BC , Attalus was left with Polyperchon and other officers in Bactria with part of the troops , while the king himself marched against the Sogdians . He accompanied Alexander in his expedition into India , and was employed in several important duties . In Alexander ' s last illness , 323 BC , he was one of the seven chief officers who passed the night in the temple of Serapis at Babylon , in order to learn from the god whether Alexander should be carried into the temple . After the death of Alexander , Attalus joined Perdiccas , whose sister , Atalante , he had married . He accompanied his brother - in - law in his unfortunate campaign against Egypt in 321 BC , and had the command of the fleet . After the murder of Perdiccas , all his friends were condemned to death by the army ; Atalante , who was in the camp , was immediately executed , but Attalus escaped his wife ' s fate in consequence of his absence with the fleet at Pelusium . He forthwith sailed to Tyre ( Lebanon ) , where the treasures of Perdiccas had been deposited . These , which amounted to as much as eight hundred talent s , were surrendered to him by Archelaus , who had been appointed governor of the town , and by means of these he soon found himself at the head of ten thousand foot and eight hundred horse . He remained at Tyre for some time , to collect the friends of Perdiccas who had escaped from the army ; but then , instead of uniting his forces immediately with those of Alcetas , the brother of Perdiccas , he sailed to the coast of Caria , where he became involved in a contest with the Rhodians , by whom he was completely defeated in a sea - fight . After this , he joined Alcetas ; but their united forces were defeated in Pisidia by Antigonus , who had the conduct of the war against the party of Perdiccas . Alcetas escaped for a time , but Attalus with many others was taken prisoner . This happened in 320 BC ; and he and his companions remained in captivity until 317 BC , when they contrived on one occasion to overpower their guards , and obtain possession of the castle in which they were confined . Before they could effect their escape , the castle was surrounded with troops from the neighbourhood . They continued , however , to defend it for a year and four months ; but at length were obliged to yield to superior numbers . We do not hear of Attalus after this : his daughters were with Olympias in 317 BC .

Withdrawal ( military ) A withdrawal is a type of military operation , generally meaning retreating forces back while maintaining contact with the enemy . A withdrawal may be undertaken as part of a general retreat , to consolidate forces , to occupy ground that is more easily defended , or to lead the enemy into an ambush . It is considered a relatively risky operation , requiring discipline to keep from turning into a disorganized rout or at the very least doing severe damage to an army ' s morale . Tactical withdrawal . A withdrawal may be anticipated , as when a defending force is outmatched or on disadvantageous ground , but must cause as much damage to an enemy as possible . In such a case , the retreating force may employ a number of tactics and strategies to further impede the enemy ' s progress . This could include setting mines or booby traps during or before withdrawal , leading the enemy into prepared artillery barrages , or the use of scorched earth tactics . Rout . In warfare , the long term strategy is the defeat of the enemy . An effective tactical method is the demoralisation of the enemy by defeating their army and routing them from the battlefield . Once a force had become disorganized , losing its ability to fight , the victors can chase down the remnants and attempt to cause as many casualties or take as many prisoners as possible . However a commander must weigh up the advantages of pursuit of a disorganised enemy against the possibility that the enemy may rally and leave the pursuing force vulnerable , with longer lines of communications vulnerable to a counterattack . Thus there was value in a " feigned " retreat . Feigned retreat . The act of feigning a withdrawal or rout in order to lure an enemy away from a defended position or into a prepared ambush is an ancient tactic , and has been used throughout the history of warfare . Two famous examples are : Occupied withdrawal . Withdrawal of a military occupation is anticipated and therefore tactical but may be subject to political rather than operational variables . The purpose of ' Troop withdrawal ' from occupied territories may not involve engagement with an enemy and may be conducted during a period of ceasefire or relative peace as in the cases of Palestine .
