Akita Castle History . During the Asuka period , Abe no Hirafu conquered the native Emishi tribes at what are now the cities of Akita and Noshiro in 658 and established a fort on the Mogami River . In the year 708 AD , “ Dewa Country ” was created out of the northern half of Echigo Province and was raised in status to Dewa Province in 712 AD . However , at that time the region was still outside the effective control of the Yamato court based in Nara . A number of military expeditions were sent to the area , with armed colonists forming settlements with wooden palisades across central Dewa in what is now the Shōnai area of Yamagata Prefecture . In 733 , the fort on the Mogami River was moved north , and a new military settlement , later named “ Akita Castle ” , was built what is now in the Takashimizu area of the city of Akita . Abe no Yakamaro was sent as Chinjufu Shogun , and Akita Castle became a base of operations to colonize the region and to subdue the native Emishi peoples . In 737 , a major military operation began con connect Akita Castle with Taga Castle on the Pacific Coast . Over the next 50 years , additional fortifications were erected at Okachi in Dewa Province and Monofu in Mutsu Province involving a force of over 5000 men . The road was greatly resented by the Emishi tribes , and after an uprising in 767 , pacification expeditions were carried out in 776 , 778 , 794 , 801 and 811 . The castle was severely damaged in an earthquake in 830 . In 878 , a major rebellion known as the Ganki Disturbance ( 元慶の乱 ) erupted in the region against Yamato rule , which resulted in the destruction of a large part of Akita Castle . Another major uprising occurred in 939 , known as the Tenki Disturbance ( 天慶の乱 ) . However , Akita Castle was restored after each disaster and remained in use until the mid - Heian period . From the 9th through the 11th centuries , Akita Castle was the residence of the “ Dewa - no - suke ” , or nominal deputy governor of Dewa Province . The title was later changed to “ Akita - no - suke ” . However , the castle was abandoned around 1050 during the Former Nine Years War . Present day . Akita Castle was surrounded by earthen ramparts and had gates at each of the cardinal points . Archaeological excavations have found the foundations of the barracks as well as official buildings for the government of Dewa Province , as well as ceramic roof tiles , wooden tally boards and documents on varnished paper . The site was proclaimed a National Historic Site in 1939 . Archaeological excavations indicate that the site had approximate dimensions of 94 meters east - west and 77 meters north - south . A number of the structures of Akita Castle have been reconstructed on their original sites

It takes the crew of 7 men 5 – 6 minutes to come into action and 3 – 5 minutes to come out of action . It carries 4 203 mm projectiles for immediate use while the remainder is carried by another vehicle and it is capable of firing nuclear ammunition of the same caliber . The gun has a range of 37 , 500 m but the range can be extended to 55 , 500 m by using RAPs ( Rocket Assisted Projectiles ) .

Seax Seax ( also " sax , sæx , sex " , latinized " sachsum " ) is an Old English word for " knife " . In modern archaeology , the term " seax " is used specifically for a type of sword or dagger typical of the Germanic peoples of the Migration period and the Early Middle Ages , especially the Saxons , whose tribal name derives from the weapon . In heraldry , the " seax " is a charge consisting of a curved sword with a notched blade , appearing , for example , in the coats of arms of Essex and the former Middlesex . Old English " seax , sax " and Old Frisian " sax " are identical with Old Saxon and Old High German " saks " , all from a Common Germanic " * sahsom " from a root " * sah , * sag - " " to cut " ( also in saw , from a PIE root * sek - ) . The term " scramaseax , scramsax " lit . " wounding - knife " is sometimes used for disambiguation , even though it is not attested in Old English , but taken from an occurrence of " scramasaxi " in Gregory of Tours ' " History of the Franks " . The name of the roofer ' s tool , the " zax " , is a development from this word . Description . Amongst the shape and construction of seaxes there is a lot of variation . The most frequent characteristics are : In the continental germanic area , the following types are defined for seaxes between roughly 450 and 800 AD , in chronological order : The general trend , as one moves from the short to the broad seax , is that the blade becomes heavier , longer , broader and thicker . Long seaxes , which arrived at the end of the 7th century , were the longest of the seax . These were narrower and lighter than their predecessors . Initially , these weapons were found in combination with double - edged swords and were probably intended as side arm . From the 7th century onwards , seaxes became the main edged weapon ( next to a francisca ) , sometimes in combination with small side - knives . The rest of Europe ( except for parts of Scandinavia ) followed a similar development , although some types may not be very common depending on location . In England long seaxes appear later than on the continent and finds of long seaxes ( as opposed to knives ) remain very rare in comparison to finds of swords throughout the period . Another typical form of the seax is the so - called broken - back style seax . These seaxes have a sharp angled transition between the back section of the blade and the point , the latter generally forming 1 / 3 to 3 / 5 of the blade length . These seaxes exist both in long seax variety ( edge and back parallel ) and in smaller blades of various lengths ( blade expanding first , then narrowing towards the tip after the kink ) . They occurred mostly in the UK and Ireland , with some examples in Germany around 8th - 11th century . Some examples have patternwelded blades , while others have inlays of silver , copper , brass , etc .
