DP - 64 The DP - 64 is a Russia n special - purpose double - barreled over / under grenade launcher designed to protect ships , dockyards , water development works , and other coastal installations from combat swimmers and naval special forces . The weapon is breech - loading and operates much like a large shotgun with a side - break breach , utilizing both direct and indirect iron sights . The weapon is capable of firing grenades indirectly at ranges up to 400 meters ; however , these grenades act much like small depth charges , attacking submerged swimmers like true depth charges attack submersibles . A large polymer stock and the barrels themselves makes up the bulk of the weapon . The barrels are selected by turning a lever accommodated above the trigger guard . A front pistol grip is equipped for support and is out of alignment with the rear grip and trigger mechanism , providing a more natural grip while firing indirectly . The butt is fitted with a springy rubber pad used to diminish recoil . Direct fire sights are also provided for use from a helicopter allowing for large areas to be patrolled and protected from enemy combat swimmers . The grenade launcher was developed in 1989 and introduced in 1990 . Very little information is available on this weapon , but it has been mentioned as an option on several patrol boats in the Russian Navy . Though large and somewhat unwieldy , the DP - 64 serves an important role with few modern contemporaries in the small arms world .

Model 1840 Light Artillery Saber The Model 1840 Light Artillery Saber was a saber of about 42 inches in length with a curved , single - edged blade and iron scabbard . History . The U . S . Model 1840 light artillery saber has a brass hilt and knuckle - bow of about 6 inches in length , the grip wrapped in leather and bound with brass wire , and a blade of 36 inches in length . Unlike the Model 1840 Heavy Cavalry Saber the artillery model has no basket . This model was one of the many weapons produced by the Ames Manufacturing Company . of Springfield ( later Chicopee ) , Massachusetts . The design appears to be a copy of the French saber style of 1829 . The mounted artillery units accompanied dragoons to provide them with more firepower . The primary weapon of the mounted artillery were their cannons . The saber was more a traditional accoutrement than a combat weapon . The fact that Ames manufactured far fewer 1840 light artillery sabers that the number of soldiers in the artillery branch attests to this . Distinguishing features . This saber has a flat , brass handle , black leather grip wrapped in brass wire , and steel scabbard . Its slightly shorter but more steeply curved blade and single brass knuckle - bow distinguish this saber from similar cavalry designs . French versions can be distinguished from American versions by the presence of French manufacturers ' marks and the lack of U . S . markings .
