Bayonet lug A bayonet lug is a standard feature on most military musket s , rifle s , and shotgun s , and on some civilian longarms . It is intended for attaching a bayonet , which is typically a long spike or thrusting knife . The bayonet lug is the metal mount that either locks the bayonet onto the weapon or provides a base for the bayonet to rest against , so that when a bayonet thrust is made , the bayonet does not move or slip backwards . Less than 400 years ago , bayonet lugs or their predecessors that allowed them to slip over the barrel did not exist . Prior to the lug ' s invention , bayonets merely stuffed into the muzzle ' s end from a tight - fitting stub , rendering the firearm virtually useless and certainly preventing it from being discharged . But by the late 17th century , this type of bayonet was entirely phased out and subsequently replaced with the socket bayonet , that slides over the muzzle with the blade offset to the side , just above or underneath . Bayonet lugs are usually located near the muzzle end of a musket , rifle , or other longarm barrel . The lug is occasionally placed on top of the barrel , if serving as the base of the front sight , or more often mounted to the side or bottom of the barrel .

FNAB - 43 The FNAB - 43 is an Italian designed and developed submachinegun manufactured from 1943 to 1944 . The first prototype was built in 1942 and the 7 , 000 built by the FNA - B ( " Fabbrica Nazionale d ' Armi di Brescia " , " Brescia National Arms Factory " , hence the name ) were issued to German and Italian RSI ( Repubblica Sociale Italiana ) units fighting in Northern Italy . The FNAB - 43 was an expensive weapon to manufacture as it used extensive milling and precision engineering in its manufacture . Description . The FNAB - 43 uses a lever - delayed blowback system firing from the closed bolt position . The bolt is a two - piece unit with a pivoted lever interposed between bolt head and body . On firing the bolt head retracts and begins to rotate the lever , the base of which is against a lug in the body . This lever is pivoted to delay the opening movement to allow the bullet to leave the barrel . The breech pressure then drops before the lever has completed its rotation . The movement of the lever then presses the free end against the bolt body and accelerates the bolt ' s movement to the rear . The base of the lever then pulls clear of the lug and the whole bolt unit continues to recoil as one piece . On returning , the lever again engages the lug and pivots forward and in doing so removes a coupling which allows the firing pin to move only when the bolt is fully forward . This unusual and complicated system allows the rate of fire to be kept down to very practical 400 rpms without having to use a heavy bolt or strong spring . The FNAB - 43 also uses a muzzle brake and compensator built into the barrel casing similar to some Russian weapons , and the magazine housing that is hinged so that the magazine can lie beneath the barrel similar to the French MAT - 49 . The single metal bar stock folds upwards allowing the weapon can be compactly carried .

Claudius , Duke of Lusitania Claudius was a Hispano - Roman Catholic " dux " ( duke ) of Lusitania ( or " dux Emeretensis civitatis " ) in the late sixth century . He was one of the most successful generals of Reccared I . In 587 , after a count named Witteric had exposed the plot of Sunna , the Arian bishop of Mérida , to place the Visigoth Segga on the throne and probably to also kill the Catholic Méridan bishop Masona , Claudius was sent to put down the revolt . Segga was captured , his hands cut off ( the penalty for usurpers ) , and banished to Galicia . The less important conspirators were deprived of their property and offices and sent into exile , but one of the chief rebels , Vagrila , took refuge in the basilica of Saint Eulalia . Claudius was told , upon request , to give Vagrila , his family , and his possessions over to the church of Mérida , which he did . Masona , however , released Vagrila and his family and returned his property to him . In 589 , when the Frankish king Guntram sent an army under the general Boso into Septimania in support of a rebellion by the Arian archbishop Athaloc , Claudius was sent by King Reccared to defeat it . Near Carcassonne on the river Aude , Claudius surprised the Franks and routed them , killing 5 , 000 and capturing 2 , 000 , as well as their camp . According to Isidore of Seville , " nulla umquam in Hispaniis Gothorum uictoria uel maior in bello vel similis extitit " : " No victory of the Goths in Spain was ever greater or even equal to it . " The chronicler John of Biclarum , with even more excitement , exaggerated his figures to make Claudius , the next Gideon , defeat 60 , 000 Franks ( the evil Midianites in the biblical metaphor ) with merely 300 men .

The large square engine compartment gave easy access to the engine bay which was designed to permit " wading " up to 65 cm deep . The 57 litre fuel tank was positioned well out of range from rocks and flying stones , being under the twin passenger seat beside the driver . MacPherson strut s suspended all four wheels , with two struts for each of the rear wheels and a single strut for each of the front wheels . All six struts used were of identical specification and thereby interchangeable . Road testers from the UK commended the smoothness of the ride over rough ground which evidently compared very favourably with that offered by the Land Rover of the time . A military version was introduced in 1976 ( AR76 ) and 1979 after new updated it was called AR79 . Others .

Jaffna Airport Jaffna Airport ( , ) is an air force base and domestic airport in Palaly in northern Sri Lanka . Located approximately north of the city of Jaffna , the airport is also known as Palaly Airport and SLAF Palaly . Originally built by the Royal Air Force during World War II , it served as the country ' s second international airport before being taken over by the Sri Lanka Air Force . History . During World War II the British Royal Air Force built an airfield in Palaly near Kankesanthurai in northern Ceylon . A number of RAF squadrons ( 160 , 203 , 292 , 354 ) and air - sea rescue units were stationed at the airfield during and immediately after the war . The airfield was abandoned after the war and taken over by the Department of Civil Aviation . The inaugural flight by Air Ceylon on 10 December 1947 was from Ratmalana Airport to Madras via Kankesanthurai .
