In some cases this influence has been felt through direct military to commercial spinoffs. These battles marked the end of trench warfare on the Western Front and a return to mobile warfare.
German discus grenades with multiple impact fuses proved inadequate The major grenades used in the beginning by the German Army were the impact-detonating " discus " or "oyster shell" bomb and the Mod black powder kugelhandgranate with a friction-ignited time fuse.
There were many new inventions that helped in both the fighting and recording of the war. He hired private wagons to carry medical supplies to circumvent enemy damage to railroad lines. However, shortly before the start of the war, the invention of rifling grooves in the musket barrel meant bullets could spin and travel up to feet.
In fact, Secretary of War Simon Cameron was forced to resign when it was discovered he was trying to profit from War Department contracts for railroad shipping. When the war started, grenades were few and poor. The low value of the yen through much of this period helped Japanese companies establish their initial footholds in the U.
Yet, even before the war ended, entomologists and medical researchers warned that the insecticide could have long-term, dangerous effects on public health and the environment. Their armament had similarly improved, but few were in service. It was the only full-scale battle between fleets in the war.

The tank, war zeppelin, combat aircraft both bombers and fightersflame thrower, and an array of lethal and non-lethal chemical weapons were all developed to accomplish this end. Among the traditional public missions, the overall share held by defense has declined in recent years, while spending on life sciences research aimed at advances in public health has grown rapidly.
Since its passage inuniversity patenting has risen dramatically, as has overall industrial support for university research.

More reloading questions for the group
What would you consider to be an acceptable range as far as the deviation +- in FPS for your various loads (which were produced to be identical)? Is there some window which is commonly thought to be "consistent?" enough? Reason I ask is because I've struggled in some respect and have found that even when I have a small run of ammo, all produced the same with all the same components and to the same spec, I get the feeling that the deviation that I'm getting on the Chronograph is too wide and they should be closer together in velocity. I only use an electronic scale to produce charges which are either .1 or .2 under my target weight, then I move the charge over to a beam scale to trickle the last little bit in. Beam scale is frequently checked for zero and its pretty solid. I've also seen this behavior with brand new Hornady brass (sized and cleaned of course before loading) paired up with good quality points like Sierra MK or Bergers and good powders IMR, Hogdon, Alliant.
What velocity window do you like to see a given batch of reloads stay in?

the revolvers of willi korth
Willi Korth was born in Stargard / Pommern on 11 July 1913. He learned machining and toolmaking at the Deutsche Reichsbahn between 1930 and 1934. Ten years later, in the summer of 1944, he briefly worked at Mauser-Werke under contract as an independent designer of military small arms. In August of 1950 Korth moved to Ratzeburg
. Next year he found a job as a manager at the Hubertus Metallwerke in Mölln. In 1952 Korth resigned to pursue his own designs. His first effort was a blank firing gas revolver. The few gas revolvers, designed and manufactured by Korth in the winter of 1954/55, are now sought after as collector’s items.
On 1 October 1955, following the expiration of the postwar ban on German manufacture of firearms, Korth founded a company in Ratzeburg under the name of Willi Korth, Waffenfabrikation. In September of 1955 Korth exercised his first manufacturing license for firearms. In 1962 he designed and manufactured his first revolver, initially chambered in .32 S&W Long, the highest caliber allowed by the terms of his license. Instead of a traditional cylinder release on the left hand side of the frame, the cylinders of these revolvers were unlatched from the frame by pulling forward the head of the ejector rod. The crane lock was released by the leftward push of a button located on the right hand side of the frame under the cylinder, whereupon the entire crane assembly complete with the cylinder would slide forward for removal from the frame.
The first series production of Korth revolvers began in 1964 with the police revolver chambered in .38 Special, serial numbered 20xxx. In 1965, Korth introduced 4" and 6" barreled six-shot revolvers in .22LR and .22 Magnum, and five-shot models in .357 Magnum, serial numbered in the 21xxx series. The subsequent 22xxx/23xxx series appeared in 1967, comprising a small run of 6" revolvers in .357 Magnum and .38 Special, as well as .22LR, plus a few 4" .357 Magnums. Its new feature was a torsion trigger spring mounted on a stud accessible on the left-hand side of the frame, and fixed with a set screw on its right hand side. This arrangement allowed an easy adjustment of the trigger pull weight between 1kg (35.274 ozs) and 2.5kg (88.185 ozs) without disassembling the revolver.
The 24xxx series, introduced in 1969, featured another innovation in the trigger action, designed for a precise and tunable stacking transition in double action, achieved through the use of variously sized rollers on the trigger impinging upon the double action sear on the hammer. Thenceforth every revolver was shipped with five numbered metal wheels of different diameters that ranged from No.1 (0.283") for the hardest stacking transition to No.5 (0.293"), for no stacking at all. Korth also added the second cylinder lock, achieved by latching the head of the axially fixed ejector rod inside a lug located under the barrel. Because the head of the ejector rod was no longer accessible for manipulation with the cylinder latched, Korth added a pivoting lever at the right side of the hammer to cause the cylinder release. The floating firing pin with its spring was retained in the frame by a transverse pin. Finally, the exposed coil mainspring gave way to the definitive sleeved telescopic design inspired by the MP38 recoil spring.
The production of the second, Combat revolver variant started in 1973, with the first 15 specimens numbered in the 27xxx and continuing in the 28xxx series. They upped the centerfire cylinder capacity from five to six rounds and featured a rounded grip frame, a ramp front sight combined with a low mounted rear sight. Most significantly, they initiated the transition from the one-piece barrel topped with a ventilated rib and fitted with a short locking underlug, reminiscent of Dean W. King’s patented
1936 custom conversions of S&W revolvers, to a two-piece assembly comprising a tensioned barrel surrounded by a shroud topped with a ventilated rib and fitted with a full-length underlug, in an arrangement that referenced Colt’s 1955 Python externally, while replicating Karl R. Lewis
1967 design originally realized by Dan Wesson. Throughout their production, Combat barrels varied in length between 77mm and 82mm, nominally designated as 3". Meanwhile, the Sport revolvers retained their one-piece barrel fitting, with both five- and six-shot cylinders available through the 28xxx series.
In the series 29xxx begun in 1974, Korth co-branded his revolvers with Dynamit Nobel serving as a distribution partner. All revolvers in this series were fitted with six-shot cylinders. The 30xxx series completed the transition to the two-piece barrel construction and introduced the optional 102mm or 4" Combat barrel configuration. Finally, the 32xxx series introduced the definitive, semi-slabsided profile of the barrel shroud. All these features remained unchanged in the 1980 33xxx series, which for the first time added the 6" Combat configuration. Meanwhile, beginning in 1978, Willi Korth had refocused his design work on a new autopistol, considering the action of his revolvers fully perfected
. From the first five prototypes in 1982, the production of the first series did not start until 1989. The pistol never succeeded commercially, owing to lack of development and the initial price of $6,750.00.

Willi Korth’s revolvers were benchmade by five gunsmiths at the rate averaging about 120 pieces a year. In contrast to the mass production standards, Korth revolver parts were neither cast nor milled. They were ground in the course of hard fitting
from steel forgings that boasted a tensile strength of 1,700 psi. Each revolver required 70 man-hours that comprised 600 distinct operations. Their major components were surface hardened up to 60 HRC on the Rockwell hardness scale. The original production of Korth revolvers ended in 1981 with the serial number series 33xxx, adding up to a total of 7141 revolvers in caliber .38 Special, .357 Magnum, .22LR, and .22 Magnum, with barrel lengths ranging from 3" to 6", fitted with 6-shot rimfire and both 5- and 6-shot centerfire cylinders. The three main variants were the Combat, the Sport, and the Target models, some of which were finished as engraved luxury pieces.
Korth turned over his business with all inventory, tools, and drawings to count Nikolas von Bernstorff on 30 June 1981. The company continued as Korth GmbH & Co. KG, its payroll peaking at 30 employees during the following decade. Its initial production comprised the 1982 transitional series 34xxx and 35xxx, still made under their inventor’s personal supervision. Following Korth’s resignation due to failing health in 1983, his successors produced the 36xxx, 37xxx, and 38xxx carbon steel series, mostly from the legacy parts fabricated and blanks forged by Willi Korth. They also introduced the Fxxx matte-finished Profi series priced 25% below its luxurious siblings and added the optional 5¼" barrel configuration and .32 S&W Long chambering. Additionally, in 1985 there appeared the short-lived Sxxx matte stainless steel series, highly sought after by collectors today. Starting with the 36xxx series in 1986, the top strap of the Korth frame was made about 0.5mm thicker, adding around 9 grams to its weight. Additionally, the crane was modified with a new cylinder bushing, which eliminated the gas check relief cut of the original centerfire revolver design. These modifications strengthened the revolver and improved its cylinder support, at the cost of accelerating the erosion of the forcing cone.
1985 Korth 4" Profi Sport
Willi Korth died on 10 October 1992, leaving the development of his autopistol unfinished, with its production by his successors falling short of the inventor’s design goals in accuracy and reliability alike. In mid-1999 Korth GmbH underwent bankruptcy following a long production slump. Its assets were taken over in April 2000 by the Armurerie Freylinger
of Luxembourg. Over the following years, five gunmakers employed by Freylinger produced the 39xxx and 40xxx series, briefly expanding into the American market by establishing a subsidiary in the United States
in 2001 in a joint venture with Earl Sheehan, an independent importer of Walther firearms
. In 2001, they introduced the finish option of plasma TiAlN PVD
surface coating in satin and matte styles, which boasted exceptional abrasion resistance. Since 2002, Korth revolver aficionados benefited from their comprehensive historical and technical analysis by Veit Morgenroth
, arguably the most detailed investigation of a sporting firearm ever to be published. Regrettably, this treatise neglected the contributions of Korth’s successors, which included the Triple Lock, the externally tensioned mainspring, and switch-barrel configurations developed by Freylinger.
In November 2008 the original Korth factory in Ratzeburg clodsed its doors. But six months later, on 22 April 2009, Andreas Weber and Martin Rothmann revived the Korth trademark in Lollar near Giessen
. The new owners of Korth
exhibited their 41xxx revolver series and autopistol prototypes in 2012 and 2013, both at IWA in Nürnberg and the SHOT Show
in Las Vegas. In the sequel, I shall examine some representative Combat and Sport revolvers manufactured by Willi Korth and his successors.

I have a full sized 1911, which is a pain to carry in an IWB holster, even in a SuperTuck Deluxe
(when I sit, the muzzle hits the chair, and the beavertail jabs me in the ribs).
My original thought was just buy a smaller 1911
, but based on this post
, I'm considering being open to more options.
The Springfield XDs
is an attractive option. I fondled it and it's nice, and it's half the price of the 1911. Even if you figure on getting another SuperTuck to hold it, it's still a solid $500 under. ($400 if you buy some spare mags).
Anyone have any particularly interesting thoughts?
I'm really hesitant to change caliber, since .45ACP is the only autopistol caliber for which I currently reload (I also do .38 Spl, .357 Mag and .45 Colt), and that would mean I'd need to spend another few hundred dollars on new dies, appropriate powders, bullets, etc. for some different caliber.
Edit: After puttering a bit last night, I might have fixed a Taurus PT145 that I had in the back of my safe which I picked up some years ago and had never worked right. I chamfered the bottom of the (friggin huge) extractor, and all of a sudden, it would feed a full magazine without stoppages. More shooting is required, but this may end up being my compact carry piece, as I both already own it and that's the reason it was originally purchased. So, this question may be moot.
NY SAFE ACT: I think my 10/22 is now illegal
Detachable box mag.
Butler Creek fluted barrel with 3 comp slits in the end (aka, a MUZZLE BRAKE AND MUZZLE BRAKES ARE EEVIL AND KILL BABIES ZOMG ELEVENTYONE!!!!!)
Am I wrong?
Gun= Enfield, 5 groove, chambered in 300 win mag, muzzle break, wood stock, aftermarket trigger set at a ridiculously light pull (thankfully its adjustable!). Has been seriously sporterised, does not look like an Enfield, at all.
Finally picked up a new scope (Vortex Viper) in prep for this years hunting. The rings I had do not fit the scope, pulled the ramps off to get new and that is where my issue is. Apparently there is an option as to style/type of Enfield and I have ZERO idea as to what I have got. My options for style are Remington30 and Winchester70. My google-fu has failed me as to what the difference is between the two and more importantly, how to tell what I have.

best pistol ever?
Dick Metcalf waxes lyrical
about the Colt Government Model 1911. I agree that the Colt 1911 is to autoloaders what the Colt Single Action Army is to revolvers: an obsolete design sustained by sentimental attachment of nostalgic fanboys. Here is why:
- Far from the “Best Pistol Ever”, the 1911 design is demonstrably inferior to its descendants. Locating the barrel with a bushing at the muzzle and a swinging link at the breech makes it easy to tune for accuracy or reliability but hard to standardize for drop-in spare part replacement and tricky to take apart and put back together. A 1911 built tight for accuracy will not shoot reliably until it has been broken in with thousands of hardball rounds, at which point it will have loosened up to become less accurate. The exterior of the 1911 bristles with hard edges and delicate notches. Its ergonomics are so poor that only collector editions are made without beavertail tangs, memory groove grip safeties, extended thumb safeties, and cut or arched mainspring housings. Its construction standards are so lax that three generations of gunsmiths have put their kids through college by charging fees for hand-fitting for accuracy and reliability tune-ups. Its lore is akin to that of Harley-Davidson Big Twin, the flagship product of the oldest surviving motorcycle manufacturer in the world, which putters around in grand style as long as the rider abstains from going too fast or turning too abruptly.
- “Its straightforward, user-friendly design cannot be outclassed for reliability, accuracy, endurance, and effectiveness.” Oh, really? In the late 1960s, the US Navy ran a test using an accurized softball competition 1911A1 pistol shooting Remington 185-grain .45 ACP jacketed wadcutter match ammo. At the outset the gun printed 20-shot 2.5" groups at 50 yards out of a machine rest. About every 5000 rounds, it was put back into the machine rest and retested. In each of these tests through 25,000 rounds, it still shot the same size groups. At 30,000 rounds, the groups had opened up to about 3.5"; at 35,000 rounds, the groups were about 4.5". For comparison purposes, numerous Swiss shooters report no degradation of factory-grade accuracy in a SIG P210 after firing 250,000 rounds. These milspec guns were tested on behalf of the Swiss Army to put 10 rounds into a 50mm circle at 50 meters, and did so consistently over five times the lifespan of a 1911. As Ken Hackathorn and Larry Vickers pointed out while explaining the supersession of the 1911 by the HK45, “at 50,000 rounds, a 1911 needs a severe overhaul. It’s going to need to be rebuilt and it’s going to have a lot of parts that are worn out.” Back in its heyday, that was a reasonable expectation of of a military sidearm’s lifespan. Thus Julian Hatcher described in the 1953 Gun Digest a 5,000 round endurance test administered by the U.S. Army around the end of WWII to a number of service autopistols. Only the Colt M1911A1 passed. The German P38 came in second with 10 malfunctions, one broken extractor, and 2 other parts replaced. Among the blowback pistols, including the Walther PP and PPK and the Mauser HSc, each had at least 36 malfunctions, with the PPK coming in the worst at 83. All of the blowback frames cracked before completing 5,000 rounds. The PP outlasted the rest, firing 4,142 rounds before cracking the frame. This was par for the course for pistols that could be expected not to fire more than 50 rounds in annual qualification, but totally inadequate for entrants in the modern offensive handgun weapon system, as evaluated by Hackathorn and Vickers. Put simply, Colt’s beloved relic fails to live up to the standards of accuracy, reliability, and ruggedness, maintained by modern service auto pistols.
- “How well can a Government Model 1911 pistol shoot? Generally, a top-of-the-line Colt-manufacture .45 Gold Cup new from the box can be reliably expected to deliver 2.5-inch, five-shot average groups at 25 meters from a rest. Give it to a top-grade pistol-smith for refinement and you’ll get a gun that will put match-grade loads into a 1-inch circle at that distance.” This is no tribute, but a reproof. The factory-accurized Colt Government Model National Match Gold Cup is far too tight to merit the accolades for reliability earned by its predecessors in military trials; all the more so once it has been “refined” by a top-grade pistol-smith. Four decades ago Colt tacitly acknowledged these shortcomings in their stillborn SSP design, which dispensed with the separate barrel bushing and barrel link of the 1911, taking its design cues from Charles Petter’s French M1935A and its successor, the Swiss P210. The one-piece slide differentially-bored to support the tilting barrel cuts in half the clearances required by the replaceable barrel bushing; the barrel cam that superseded Browning’s swinging link in the Radom ViS-35 and the FN GP35, as derived from the his own 1927 patent for the Grande Rendement prototype of the latter, enables drop-in barrel fit for a unit construction slide; the integral hammer action that can be removed and replaced without tools, as introduced in the Tokarev TT30, simplifies maintenance and allows for drop-in unit-level armorer repair of ignition malfunctions; and the Luger-patterned frame with its rails enveloping the slide makes for their far more consistent alignment. These design changes amount to genuine corrections of John Moses Browning’s venerable masterpiece. To maintain its ongoing supremacy over its successors is an insult to the intelligence of modern handgunners.

nanny statists, sore losers?
Charles Simic asseverates
, without adducing a shred of evidence or articulating a scintilla of argument, that the chief mission of NRA and other gun lobbies is “to drum up business for the 1,200 gun makers in this country”. Let’s see how his claim holds up.
In 2012, according to an analysis by business research firm Hoovers
, the gun and ammunition industry in the U.S. generated an estimated $6 billion in revenue. In comparison
, Exxon Mobil alone generated $482 billion, with WalMart coming in at $469 billion. Outside of the oil and gas and retail industries, we find Apple at $156 billion, closely followed by General Motors, General Electric, and Berkshire Hathaway at $150, $147, and $144 billion. In the general scheme of things, the aggregate revenue of the U.S. gun industry would place it around relative pipsqueaks on the order of Hershey and Kodak.
If the strength of the gun lobby is owed to the industrial base of its suppliers, why don’t we hear about the politics of chocolate bars or film stock unfairly dominating American lunch counters and movie theaters? Could it be that NRA, in deriving nearly half of its revenues from individual membership dues
, functions as a legitimate conduit of public interest, no less so than the Supreme Court of the United States, in affirming the individual right to keep and bear small arms that are commonly used for self-defense and appropriate for service in the militia, including Simic’s bugaboos, “not only hunting rifles but also military-style murder weapons and even hollow-point rounds that are banned in warfare”? Is it possible that Simic bemoans this publicly disclosed and thoroughly litigated state of affairs for want of journalistic integrity that begins with accounting for the financial data and studying the legal rulings of our court of last resort?
As witness Dan Baum interpreting
the politics of guns in terms of “the power of the individual in relation to the collective, and the extent to which each of us needs to live by the permission of the rest”, an American liberal need not be a nanny statist. Likewise Seventh Circuit Judge Richard A. Posner, self-identified
as a “pragmatic classical liberal”, who invalidated under the Second Amendment
an Illinois law, the last in the land to forbid most people, though not politicians
, from carrying a loaded gun in public. Simic’s demagogical legerdemain is far more plausibly attributable to intellectual dishonesty than political convictions.

I continue to be smitten with the Browning A-Bolt and the 6.5mm creedmoor cartridge... So much so, I got her some new glasses :-) and it's been real fun reloading for it. Since it's not nearly as common as some other calibers out there, the recent shortages have been relatively easy to get around.( Collapse )

I happen to live in a state adjacent to Nevada, and I can see myself needing to carry there on occasion. Because Nevada is picky and often capricious about which states' licenses they will recognize, I am thinking that my best bet is to obtain a Nevada license. Since I don't live in Nevada, does anyone know how one can go about obtaining a Nevada CCW? Does one have to travel to Nevada?

I presume that everyone already knows about the 3d-printable Liberator pistol that was published by the Defense Distributed. And I presume everyone knows that our State Department declared this publication in violation of the International Traffic in Arms Regulations and demanded the information to be removed from the website. (If not, here is the story and the website)
Now, remember how they always tell us that the new UN treaty on gun control is not going to affect our Second Amendment rights? This even was made a snopes item on how it is simply not possible!
When we get back to that discussion, we should remember this incident when an international treaty was used to violate both Second and First Amendment rights.

Your $0.02 on AK accuracy
For most of my time within the shooting community, I've heard people say the AK-47 and variants there-of are inaccurate. But, then again, I've heard people say WD40 makes a good gun lubricant.
So, what I'd like to ask is: for those of you who have AKs and guns based off of them, what do you have and how accurate is it, in MOA or inches at 100 yards?
I'm an accuracy snob. I freely admit it. I give leeway to my pistol-cartridge carbines, but other rifles I will feel something is amiss if I cannot get any groups that are 2 MOA or less.
I want one, but, if it's going to be putting out foot-wide groups at 100 yards, I'll be unhappy.

The story is here

Even an expert shot scoring half a dozen "fatal" hits needed a total of 33 rounds fired to do the job. He now carries 145 rounds everyday.

Here is a letter to the CEO of remmington since they decided to stay in NY after being offered a government contract:
I and many other gun owners are extremely disappointed in your decision to stay in the state of NY after they passed some of the most restrictive gun laws in the country. Well over a hundred firearm related businesses around the country have announced that they would leave states that pass such draconian legislation, and all of your fans and customers were looking for Remington to stand up for US and do the right thing for US, by moving your operations out of NY.( Collapse )

She blinded me with Science
Another decent day weather wise, and another batch of reloads and factory stuff to shoot at the range. The continuing saga of the .300 that won't perform.
I'll spare you the poor target photos and move right to the cleaning....To make a long story shot, towards the end of the cleaning cycle the patches were coming out perfectly clean, however the light hit them just right and I notices quite a few flakes in there, some were copper colored and some look like steel colored. Time to break out the High School Microscope (I Knew the day would come when there would be a reason why I saved that). Not the greatest pics and out of focus but I'm working with a Small Nikon, hand held and trying for extreme macro. Shocked it took a picture through a microscope lens in the first place :-)
Picture of one of the copper flakes at 175X. Haven't been able to locate one of the silver/metallic looking ones.
Although the patches came out perfectly clean after several cycles of sweets solvent, I decided to take the brake off... Found inconsistent scuffing on the top of the rifling. 2 are about 1" long from the crown into the bore, one is thinner but extends beyond what I can see and one is just the tiniest of scuffs as seen on the far right of the picture. Its maybe 1/32" long. Each of them also has a streak of white-ish on either side but they seem uniform. I suspect even the slightest problem in this area is causing the bullet to leave the barrel differently each time. Wear in different areas or pressure as demonstrated by more/less copper seems to support this. BTW, that's not a ding in the crown on the left, just dust or patch material.
Has anyone ever seen a Match barrel look like this?

Outdoor Channel takes a stand
I saw this on Facebook and did a little Googling and found it everywhere. So I'm operating under the assumption it is likely true. If not then it is a very widespread fabrication.

Subject: OUTDOOR CHANNEL Pulls Productions from Colorado
To: Senator Steve King
Dear Senator King;
I met you yesterday after the so-called "public hearings" on the anti-gun bills; as I mentioned, I am an Executive Producer for OUTDOOR CHANNEL. I currently have four series in production, including GUN STORIES, the top show on OC, with several additional series in development. My series focus on guns, hunting, shooting and the outdoors.
This morning I met with my three Producers, and we made the decision that if these anti-gun bills become law, we will be moving all of our production OUT of Colorado. We have already canceled a scheduled filming session for late this month. Obviously, part of this is due to our own commitment to the right to keep and bear arms, but it also reflects 3 lawyers' opinions that these laws are so poorly drafted and so designed to trap otherwise legal citizens into a crime (one of our attorneys referred to them as "flypaper laws") that it is simply too dangerous for us to film here.
I can give you chapter and verse on the legal implications if you need, but suffice to say that the first legal opinion was so scary we went out and got two others. Al three attorneys agreed.
We are relatively small potatoes in television, but our relocation of production will cost Colorado a little less than a million dollars in 2013.
Secondly, we have proudly promoted Colorado in our productions (and have been moving more and more production into the state); now we will do exactly the opposite. What does this mean for Colorado? The community of television producers is a small one. Last week I had lunch with a major network producer who was looking to locate his new reality series in Colorado. That producer is also a shooter, and the new reality series will now be based out of Phoenix. That lunch cost Colorado over a million in economic impact.
Thirdly, according to numbers I received from the National Shooting Sports Foundation (for whom I used to work) yesterday, hunting had an almost $800,000,000 impact on Colorado in 2012, driving as many as 8330 jobs. Next month I will be in Texas meeting with most of the top outdoor/hunting producers, and the Number One agenda item will be Colorado. Already, hunting organizations and statewide hunting clubs around the country are pulling out of Colorado, and we expect this trend to accelerate rapidly.
The message we will take to our viewers and listeners is that these proposed laws are so dangerous to hunters and any other person, be she a fisherman or a skier who brings a handgun into the state for self-defense, that we cannot recommend hunting, fishing or visiting Colorado.. We reach millions of people, and, quite frankly, we have a credibility that Colorado government officials can no longer match. Colorado Division of Wildlife is already running ads trying to bring more out-of-state hunters to Colorado...in light of the flood of negative publicity about these proposed laws, I can assure you those ads will fail.
We estimate that as many as one-quarter to one-third of out-of-state hunters will desert Colorado in the next 18-24 months, which will quite frankly be a disaster for the hunting industry in Colorado and have a devastating effect on our western and northern communities (certainly cities like Grand Junction).
This is not a "boycott" in the traditional sense of a centralized, organized operation; rather, it is more of a grassroots decision on where shooters, hunters and other sportsmen are willing to spend their money. Look at the collapse of the Eastern Sports and Outdoor Show in February. That venerable multimillion dollar trade show chose to ban modern sporting rifles and standard capacity magazines, and within three weeks it collapsed as all vendors and sponsors pulled out.
Colorado is going to pay a huge price for laws that will do nothing. Thank you, sir, for your support. | weapons_science |

The Russian military authorities have installed an air defense system at the Zaporizhia nuclear power plant, located in the Ukrainian region of the same name and the current scene of clashes in the context of the war.
Moscow and kyiv have accused each other of a series of offensives at the nuclear plant in recent days, which has raised fears of a possible miscalculation that could lead to a catastrophe like the one experienced in 1986 in Chernobyl.
“The nuclear plant’s air defense systems are being reinforced,” the head of the Moscow-appointed military administration in the region, Yevhen Balitski, told Russian state television.
The facility was the target of an attack last week that severed some of the plant’s electrical connections. The Russian Administration has confirmed that the damaged units of the reactor have been repaired and the plant is operating normally.
At the beginning of March, the Russian Army took over the facilities of the Zaporizhia nuclear power plant, one of the largest in Europe, and which in the early stages of the war was already the scene of intense clashes.
The Ukrainian authorities have warned this Tuesday that the consequences of a hypothetical nuclear catastrophe in Zaporizhia would be up to ten times greater than those experienced by the Chernobyl accident. | weapons_science |

Archery vs Rifle Hunting
When it comes to hunting, people are divided into two camps: bow hunters and rifle hunters. Each side tends to stick to their guns (pun intended) about their chosen weapon. That said, is there actually a difference between the two, and is one better than the other?
When it comes to cost, mid-range bows and mid-range guns are roughly the same investment. You could expect to spend about $500-600 for a reliable, trusty weapon to hunt with. While lower-priced options are available, their accessories tend to be less trustworthy. On the other hand, the maintenance costs vary. Guns require constant ammunition purchases, while arrows can be retrieved and reused. Bows need to have their strings replaced after heavy wear, while guns can take abuse for years without worry.
However, choosing between a bow and a rifle can be very important depending on the type of quarry you’re after. Certain types of animals are illegal to hunt with a bow, or vice versa. Other animals are impractical to hunt with a certain type of weapon. Take a quail, for instance; while you could shoot it with an arrow, you would destroy most of the meat. A small-caliber bullet or shotgun is a better choice. Deer are the most common targets for hunters, but using a bow to take down a deer takes a massive amount of skill and experience; something new hunters don’t have.
Rifles have an advantage over bows. While bows may be silent, rifles have scopes. While bow scopes exist, they’re ineffective because of the adjustments you have to make in order to hit your target. Gun Gods reviews a number of rifle scopes that allow you to hit your prey from a distance, long before they can detect that you’re there.
Hunting regulations can be a headache to navigate through. Some areas will be designated as archery only, which means you can’t hunt with a rifle in the area. Season dates can also vary depending upon the type of weapon used.
Bows are quieter than a rifle. While a missed rifle shot will send any quarry around you running for cover, a missed bow shot will rarely attract attention. If you’re not sure of your accuracy, a bow may be a better choice. However, bows may not take down a creature in a single shot as quickly as a rifle would. Either way, you’ll need to track your quarry after you’ve wounded it.
Whether you want to hunt with a rifle or a bow is usually a personal choice. The only times it will be required is if the landowner or state regulations restrict hunting with a certain type of weapon. Before making your choice, take the time to evaluate the pros and cons of both types of weapons and pick the one that is best for you. After you’ve built up some experience hunting with one type of weapon, you can purchase the other and give it a try. It keeps the experience fresh. | weapons_science |

We have a shooting bay to ourselves.
We shoot outdoors and the only downside is the weather sometimes does not cooperate. The advantages are less noise, longer distances, special targets, and the use of black powder. And, photography is less constricted, allowing for better pictures or video.
The western and muzzle loading firearms are shot with black powder. Black powder is the original propellant for those guns. It has a different sound and makes more smoke than modern smokeless powder and gives the shooter a more authentic experience.
Mostly targets are 15 to 100 yards in distance. Sometimes we shoot on a part of the range that has targets from 200 to 800 yards distance. Compare that to the 25 yards that most indoor ranges are limited to. We shoot mostly steel targets. You can both hear and see hits on the steel. We also shoot water filled plastic bottles, wood, and empty shotgun hulls. One target has steel plates on arms and when a plate is knocked off the arm, the remaining plates will spin.
The Boulder Rifle and Pistol Club is open to the public and also has competitions on the weekends. Due to being so busy, the board of directors decided that contractors can not schedule events on the weekends. So I can not have clients on the weekends at this time. | weapons_science |

Discover the Beretta M9 – After 33 years of loyal service, the Beretta 92FS, aka the M9, has officially given way in 2017 to the SIG P320, aka the M17as the standard service pistol of the United States Armed Forces.
It brought joy to Beretta haters everywhere and scorn from legions of Beretta fans – Yours Truly included.
Meanwhile, big-bore fanatics continue to complain that the M9 replacement is still chambered in 9mm, which they claim lacks “stopping power”. However, as experts like Gabe Suarez point out, you can’t count on a one-stop with any caliber, not even the vaunted .45 ACP. Suarez tell this amusing anecdote:
“Some instructors are also very caliber-focused, thinking that anyone who doesn’t bring a .45 to class is unarmed. One of my students who wears a 9mm was recently told that his 9mm was just a .45 set to “stun”. However, the commentator refused to be stunned.
That aside, let’s take another look at the Beretta 92 and why, despite the military change, it’s not going the way of the Tasmanian Tiger anytime soon.
A Beretta is born
Beretta is not only the oldest gunsmith in the world. They are the oldest industrial enterprise of any type in the world. Whatever the flaws in their products, the company must do something to the right!
Based in Gardone Val Trompia, Italy, and family owned and operated from the beginning until today, this prestigious company was born in 1526 manufacturing arquebus barrels. By all accounts, barrels made by Beretta equipped the Venetian fleet during the Battle of Lepanto in 1571 – one of the four greatest naval battles in history.
Beretta has supplied weapons for every major European war since 1650, and it has also supplied pistols for a good part of the Middle Eastern wars. The predecessor of the M9, brigadier M1951, has been adopted by the Egyptian, Iraqi and Israeli armed forces. These are solid references.
As for the M9 itself, as indicated by my [1945[1945 colleague and veteran Brent M. Eastwood, “We sometimes forget that the M9 was born for a very specific reason and its history: the M1911 was becoming obsolete.” Or take it from the USMC Afghanistan veteran Sandboxx’s Travis Pikewho puts it more bluntly when he says of those old .45s that “the surviving examples have been beaten to hell after their decades of heavy use”.
Long story short, in the 1984 pistol trials which involved grueling testing of accuracy, reliability and durability, Beretta beat SIG, Smith and Wesson, HK, Walther, Steyr and FN to become the official handgun of the American army. From there, the Beretta 92 gained even more prestige after being adopted by myriad US law enforcement agencies, including the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department and the LAPD (immortalized by Mel Gibson as Sgt. Martin Riggs in the lethal weapon film franchise).
“We’re not dead yet!”
Although the Beretta M9 is no longer the official carry gun for our boys and girls in uniform, it is far from obsolete. On the one hand, having recently returned from a one-year contract with the US Air Force in Germany, I can confirm that while the majority of Air Force Security Force personnel that I have observed at Ramstein Air Base was already carrying the M17, I still saw a fair number of sky cops with Berettas in their holsters.
In addition, the Beretta 92 series of pistols is gaining popularity. Going back to what I said in my opening paragraph about “big caliber fanatics”, two of the most open-minded members of this demographic are Bill Wilson – arguably the greatest M1911 gunsmith in all time – and Ken Hackathorn. Both went on YouTube with some fairly strong mentions of the Beretta: Wilson says “I shoot it as well as the 1911”, and Hackathorn concedes that while he was skeptical at first, now “if I could only buy one gun, the gun I would do very probably trust would be a Beretta 92,” adding that it’s “the most reliable handgun I’ve ever used.” Massad Ayoob of the Lethal Force Institute, a contemporary of Bill and Hack, not only lavishes praise on the Beretta 92but wrote extensively over the years to dispel many misconceptions and exaggerations about the pistol’s alleged unreliability and durability.
Blasting with the Beretta at the shooting range
Speaking from personal experience, the Beretta 92 was the first gun I really fell in love with. (I mean strictly in the platonic sense, folks, lest everything hoplophobia I start throwing out Joyce Brothers-style innuendos.) It was November 1989, at the tender age of 14. Critics of the Beretta say the gun is too bulky for small-handed shooters. Well, this may be strictly anecdotal, but as a 14-year-old boy, I was 5-foot-2 and 100 pounds drenched, with a hand size to match. I had no issues with the ergonomics of the Model 92, instead I found it to be a delightfully comfortable, smooth-firing gun.
Fast forward to 1999, in my first year as USAF Security Forces troops (HOOAH!) The Beretta M9 helped me earn a device for an AF Small Arms Expert ribbon.
Fast forward now to the 2010s, and this beloved gun helped make me the best shooter in the training courses for my security contract assignments in Japan and Kosovo, while being recognized as the most accurate from my local. International Defensive Guns Association matches in Southern California. I ended up buying two: one in standard finish and an Operation Enduring Freedom USAF Commemorative Edition (one of 1,000 produced). For good measure, I received a US Armed Forces 20th Anniversary Commemoration as a parting gift from the owner of my local range when I transitioned from the military to civilian life.
Finally, back to the present. For the purposes of this article, I brought one of my beloved Berettas back to the lineup, specifically at the On Target Indoor Shooting Range in Severn, Maryland, a top notch establishment with a really cool group of people (thanks to Kevin, Joe, JD and Louie). The old girl still had it. (Again, no Joyce Brothers jokes please!) Even though my shooting groups weren’t my best ever – maybe it was time to upgrade my corrective lenses – I I was still able to easily nail all my head shots from 25 feet, and keep my shots in the center of mass from 75 feet. For ammo I used FMJ PMC Bronze 124 grain, with 50 rounds fired at each range.
For the sake of brevity, since I’ve probably already been too wordy, here is a handy link to Beretta 92FS specifications.

According to the Lithuanian Ministry of Defence live-fire tests of 155mm PzH2000 self-propelled howitzers were conducted midst April. The event was a culmination of nearly two week long trials which took place at General Silvestras Žukauskas Training Area in Pabradė. Exercise was performed by soldiers of the General Romualdas Giedraitis Artillery Battalion stationed in Rukla, part of the Iron Wolf Mechanized Infantry Brigade, and supervised by high ranking officials from Lithuanian Armed Forces.
We have followed procedures when testing the new equipment. The conditions were not easy, the firing pace was intense, but shots were accurate and final results meet our expectations. The General Romualdas Giedraitis Artillery Battalion is on the track of becoming the strongest battalion in the Lithuanian Armed Forces- battalion Commander, Col. Lt. Marijus Jonelis, said after the training.
The event was the first occasion to test Lithuanian newest 155mm self-propelled howitzers, which were procured from Germany under the agreement worth of €58,3 million (250 million Polish Zloty) signed in 2015. After reaching final operational capability PzH2000s will replace currently operated 105mm M101A1 towed howitzers.
Out of 21 Lithuanian PzH2000 howitzers, which originally were operated by the German Army and eventually put in storage, 16 will be handed over to the General Romualdas Giedraitis Artillery Battalion. Another two vehicles will serve training purposes, while the last three will be utilised for spare parts.
The 2015 agreement also included the delivery of spare parts and training materials as well as a number of utility vehicles, such as 26 M577A2 tracked command post vehicles and six Bergepanzer 2 armoured recovery vehicles.
In December 2016 Lithuanian MoD signed a contract with the German Krauss-Maffei Wegmann (KWM) for modernization of 18 PzH2000s. The deal, worth about €10,5 million (45 million Polish Zloty), included replacement of legacy on-board equipment, such as combat management systems. The first batch of modernized PzH2000 howitzers was delivered to Lithuania in December 2018. | weapons_science |

Police response times have improved dramatically since the early days of our country when the town’s sheriff had an office half a days ride from the farm. But, even two minutes may be too long of a wait for help in the event of a home break-in or in the face of violent civil unrest.
Our forbearers relied on pump-action shotguns to protect the homestead and there is still nothing that compares to the feelings associated with using one – for both the homeowner and the intruder.
For homeowners shotguns do not require the shooting accuracy of other rifles improving efficacy and improving confidence. And, no sound will stop an intruder in his tracks like that of a cartridge being chambered by the pump-action possibly convincing the intruder to hightail it out of there to avoid a confrontation.
The drawback to pump-action shotguns in an emergent situation is the time it takes to reload. Now, Remington has announced a solution to that problem with the Remington 870 DM, the world’s first magazine fed shotgun.
The 870 DM features a detachable magazine system and fire controls designed from the ground up and is currently available with 3- and 6-round magazines giving it the fastest response time of any pump shotgun in history.
For fans of pump-action shotguns it now catapults to the top of the list as the ultimate choice for a home defense shotgun.
For those who value more ready firepower the Mossberg 500 Tactical holds up to 8 cartridges at one time plus one in the chamber and does not require the pump-action to chamber the next cartridge. The reload time, tough, is significantly longer than that offered by the 870 DM where the magazine only needs to be swapped out and replaced making the DM 870 tactically superior in situations where more than 10 shots are anticipated. | weapons_science |

African tribal weapons
Back in the days, these weapons that were used in prehistoric times used to frighten many people.
The Rungu is an 18-20 inch narrow shaft that comes with a massive knob at the end. The Maasai warriors of East Africa used it to hunt and fight during wars, and it is a symbol of a moran’s status.
2. Various ancient African swords
Different communities in Africa crafted unique styles of swords to use them amongst themselves.
- Ida sword
The Benin people and Yoruba tribe in West Africa had a sword known as the Ida. This blade featured an elongated leaf shape with single or double cutting edges.
- Kaskara sword
Within the Northwest part of Africa, particularly Morocco, Arabic influence was apparent in the curved and single-edged egion from as early as the 1500s. This African weapon presented a long, double-edged and spatulate tip. The sword was placed horizontally across the back or between the upper arm and thorax of its owner. dIn the West part of Sahel, the Tuareg, Fulani and Hausa tribes used the Takouba sword.
- Flyssa and Nimcha swords
Within the Northwest part of Africa, particularly Morocco, Arabic influence was apparent in the curve and single-edged Flyssa and Nimcha swords. Of the two, the Nimcha proved to have a more substantial blade than the Flyssa.
The Kpinga is one of the African throwing weapons preferred by the Azande of Nubia, and it was found in parts of Northern Sudan and Southern Egypt. This knife was 22 inches long with three differently shaped blades protruding out from different angles of the shaft to maximize the damage caused to the enemy. The Azande used to give out the Kpinga knife as part of the dowry; a young man would bequeath his bride’s family.
The Mambele is one of the ancient African weapons commonly used by the Makaraka and the Azande tribes of Central Africa. Even though the Mambele was a popular weapon in the classical era, its history remains a big mystery to date. Unlike other curved blades, the inside of the Mambele edge is sharp. Different versions of this weapon included the Makraka that was used in rituals and for execution.
The Assegai is a form of a spear or javelin crafted from wood with an iron part mostly used for hurling or throwing. Before the introduction of guns, The Assegai was one of the predominant African weapons used by the Zulu and other communities in South Africa such as the Xhosa and Nguni. These communities relied on the Assegai to fight against the British colonial armies. To use the Assegai, one throws it at the enemy, and after they struck them with it, they would go in for the kill with another shorter weapon.

This was one of the deadliest weapons that featured a big artillery cannon for firing explosive projectile bombs. Such machines were sent to Ethiopia during the rule of Emperor Tiewodros II in the mid-1800s. A Sebastopol weighs approximately 6.7 tons, and it was made of bronze.
7. Igbo weapons
The Igbo community resides in the South-eastern part of Nigeria and is famous for its low-lying deltas and fertile pieces of land. Due to this, most of their battles were territorial, as they depended on their property to grow staple plants like taro, yams, and cassava. The tribe’s ideal weapons included bows and spears. Besides, they also had flintlock pistols and muskets, which were commonly used as psychological weapons as opposed to practical ones.
8. The Knobkerrie
The Knobkerrie is one of the African melee weapons that was featured in the Black Panther movie. It is a form of a war club that was popular among the Zulu of South Africa, and it is created traditionally from several hardwoods. Smaller versions of this African weapon were used to injure and distract the enemy.
A Sjambok weapon is a whip manufactured from the skin of an adult rhino or hippopotamus. It was mainly used to drive cattle during grazing. However, plastic versions of the weapon were later created and used by the law enforcers to control crowds during riots. Even though this whip was used way before apartheid, it became synonymous with the apartheid period.
10. Hakim Rifle
This ancient weapon was a gas-powered semi-automatic rifle. Even though the weapon was designed in Sweden, it was sold off to Egyptians who used it in the 1950s and 1960s. The flow of gas collides at the front face of the bolt carrier, returning it to the gun that releases the bolt.
11. Nzappa zap
This traditional African weapon was used by the communities of the Democratic Republic of Congo. It resembled a hatchet and was used in short distances or hand-to-hand battles. It is compared to the American weapon known as a tomahawk.
12. Maasai spear and shield
After initiation, a Maasai warrior would be seen around walking with a spear and shield. Besides prestige purposes, a spear and shield are used by the warriors to protect their herds and community from raiders.
The metal on the spear was polished by animal fat. Moreover, the color of the wood on the spear indicated the warrior’s prestige. Dark ebony wood was for senior morans while lighter wood signifies a junior. The Maasai shield was mainly for defense, and it was produced from buffalo hide. The markings on the shield are a blend of natural and commercial colorings.

Caution: This math may be wrong.
In episode 6 of Neon Genesis Evangelion, NERV borrows a positron cannon from a government research lab to deal with the latest threat. This cannon takes all of Japan’s power output, for 37 seconds, to charge the rifle for one shot. According to the CIA World Factbook, Japan produced 1.017 trillion kWh for the whole year in 2003.
1.017 trillion kWh per year/365 days/24 hours = 116 million kWh per hour
So, Japan produces 116 million kWh per hour. However, Makoto Hyuga states that it will take atleast 180 million watts to pierce the AT field of the angel Ramiel. Seeing as it takes 37 seconds to charge the rifle*…
180 million kW per 37 seconds * (3600 seconds / 37 seconds) = 17460 million kWh per hour
So, if my calculations are correct, the rifle would need 17460 million kWh to charge for an hour; unfortunately, this is quite a lot higher than the 116 million kWh per hour Japan produces, infact, it is 150 times more. So, if Evangelion’s Japan in the year 2015 is to be able to power the rifle, it needs to produce 150 times more power than 2003 Japan does.
* Counting from the ejection of the first shot’s fuse, to the pulling of the trigger for the second shot. | weapons_science |

Smith & Wesson's(SWHC) profits are surging as Americans buy guns at record levels.
Shares of the 160-year-old gunmaker shot up more than 16% Friday, after Smith & Wesson reported record first-quarter sales and earnings.
The gun manufacturing firm supplies handguns and pistols to consumers, the U.S. military and law enforcement officials, but in its earnings release, Smith & Wesson pointed to the consumer as the reason for its record results. Consumers' appetite for handguns, specifically pistols, helped the company double its sales for the quarter ended July 31, 2012.
Smith & Wesson upped its forecasts for 2013, noting a nearly $400 million backlog in orders. That's more than double its backlog this time last year, the company said.
Smith & Wesson also noted that one of its newest products, the Shield, designed to be concealed, has been "highly favored and sought after by consumers."
Smith & Wesson's stock is up more than 140% this year. Shares of rival gunmaker Sturm Ruger (RGR) have racked up sizeable gains as well, rising 40% this year. Sturm Ruger's stock gained as much as 5% Friday before easing in afternoon trading. | weapons_science |

The Other Armourfast Su85
Having completed one of the Su85s, I went and finished off the other. I thought I'd go further with this one though and add a bit more clutter.
This included a barrel made from a bit cut off a pencil, with some strips of paper glued round it, and a roll of material made from a a piece of old T-shirt rolled up and tied off with thread. There is also a piece of spare track on the front. It's not quite right as T34/Su85 track section but it was the best I had to hand (made from some old Airfix Tiger tracks, cut down a bit). | weapons_science |

Machine guns inflicted appalling casualties on both war fronts in World War One. Men who went over-the-top in trenches stood little chance when the enemy opened up with their machine guns. Machine guns were one of the main killers in the war and accounted for many thousands of deaths. Crude machine guns had first been used in the American Civil War (1861 to 1865).

The Machine Gun Corps is probably one of the most difficult Great War units to research. It was one of the few “war raised” units, having no existence prior to the conflict, and suffering the ignominy of being disbanded entirely in the years immediately following.

MACHINE GUNS IN WORLD WAR I. World War I was a deadly conflict as shown by the 38 million military and civil casualties it caused. The large number of casualties was caused, in part, by the development and use of new weaponry that took place during the war. The following weapons either made their debut in World War I or had a dramatic effect on the major battles of the war: machine gun, tank.
WW1 Machine guns How Machine guns affected world war one Machine guns affected WW1 in a large way. How machine guns affected World War One in a large way is machine guns were fist made and some countries refused the machine gun at first so the countries that had the machine guns.
One show in particular, WW1 Uncut: Machine Guns, demonstrated the fire-power of the weaponry used by the forces during The Great War. Featuring working demonstrations of the machine guns in action, it served as a powerful reminder of what soldiers on both sides of the conflict faced when going into battle. The footage which shows Dan Snow firing these powerful World War One weapons was filmed.
The machine gun of WW1: Casualties and key battles. Throughout World War 1, the machine gun was the predominant cause for the deaths of millions of men.

The latest trailer introduces Cervantes, another returning character to the roster for the latest SoulCalibur release. SoulCalibur VI is set to release for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC on October 19th.
You can read a character overview from Bamco below & view the new trailer:
When Cervantes first gripped Soul Edge, the power of the cursed sword transformed him into a monster. He used the sword to bring a reign of terror and carnage to the world, as the sword continued to manipulated his mind. But soon the cursed sword’s plans were thwarted by a heroic ninja and a brave warrior. Cervantes was defeated, consumed by fire and sentenced to the depths of hell, his body turned to ash.
Later the now new owner of the Soul Edge, Nightmare comes across Cervantes’s remains, but left without noticing the small glimmer of light emitting from his body. The Soul Edge had once again set the terrible wheels of fate moving and brought Cervantes back from the dead. After his resurrection, Cervantes now walks grinning through a sea of corpses, claiming countless souls and leaving desolation and destruction in his wake. His final aim is clear: to once again to make Soul Edge his own.
Cervantes fights with two weapons, Acheron and Nirvana. His main sword, Acheron, has been his sword since he plundered it from its hapless former owner during his reign of dread across the Atlantic Ocean. His secondary weapon, Nirvana, is a dagger with a pistol in the hilt. While pistols of the time were still relatively primitive, shooting an opponent could break their guard, allowing for a fierce follow-up blow. The gun dagger was a gift from the Italian weapons dealer Vercci and symbolises the twisted connection between the feared pirate and the Merchant of Death. | weapons_science |

Midnight represents the end of human civilization. And today they brought it closer to midnight than it's ever been: just two minutes away.
In the United States, Russia, and elsewhere around the world, plans for nuclear force modernization and development continue apace. The Trump administration’s Nuclear Posture Review appears likely to increase the types and roles of nuclear weapons in US defense plans and lower the threshold to nuclear use. In South Asia, emphasis on nuclear and missile capabilities grows. Conventional force imbalances and destabilizing plans for nuclear weapons use early in any conflict continue to plague the subcontinent.
This is closer than during the Cuban Missile Crisis or any moment in the Cold War since 1947 - which sounds surreal, or melodramatic, even. But here we are.
Somehow we've moved away from global peace and diplomacy to a world full of posturing, inequality, and isolationism. The only way to turn back the clock is to bridge divides and create a more inclusive, empathetic society once again: one where everybody has the ability to prosper and the emphasis is on the global human experience, not the exceptionalism of just one nation.
Turning back the clock is all of our jobs. | weapons_science |

In the twenty-first century, the tank remains the backbone of field combat operations. During World War I, there was a surge in desire for armored self-propelled weapons that could traverse any terrain, which led to the development of the tank. The tank's progenitor, the armored car, had a major flaw in that it could only operate over smooth terrain, necessitating additional innovations for cross-country mobility.
The tank was created as a one-of-a-kind weapon to deal with an uncommon tactical situation: the Western Front trench stalemate. 'It was a weapon with a single purpose: to cross the killing zone between trench lines and break into enemy territory.' The armored tank was designed to guard against bullets and shell splinters while also passing through barbed wire in a way that infantry forces couldn't, breaking the stalemate.
Leonardo da Vinci is frequently credited with inventing the tank-like military machine. A Hussite named Jan ika won multiple battles in the 15th century by deploying armored carts with cannons that could be fired through holes in their sides. However, his invention was not employed until the twentieth century after his death. | weapons_science |

This truth is as relevant in our personal lives as it is in the world of firearms training. A case in point is the story of Ken Koch, a Gunsite Instructor and retired Chief of Police. His experience is a tale of how adaptation and acceptance of new technology can enhance and even revolutionize long-standing skills.
In a recent blog by Guns Magazine, Ken detailed his journey of shifting from using traditional iron sights to pistol-mounted optic or “red dot” sights on his handgun.
Why The Reluctance?
Like many seasoned shooters, Ken held onto his tried-and-true iron sights, viewing them as reliable and integral to his marksmanship. It wasn't just familiarity that kept him from trying out optics; there were practical considerations too. With a plethora of pistol-mounted optic options on the market, the task of researching and selecting a sight that met his reliability demands seemed daunting. Besides, the time it would take to adjust to a new system didn't appear to be worth the effort.
The need to remain an effective instructor in the evolving world of firearms training pushed Ken to consider the change. After all, an increasing number of students were adopting red dot sights. His peers had already made the switch, and their suggestions eventually swayed him.
A red dot sight designed specifically for his firearm, with a reputation for reliability, ultimately caught his eye. No complex modifications were required, and his iron sights remained intact - an ideal scenario that tipped the scales.
A New Chapter
The transition wasn't easy, and the red dot sight was unforgiving in highlighting inconsistencies in Ken’s trigger manipulation and grip. But instead of being disheartened, he took it as an opportunity to improve his fundamentals. He committed to daily training, recognizing that precision in marksmanship fundamentals was essential for reliable “dot” acquisition and accuracy.
This resulted in a significant improvement in his performance, even with his beloved iron sights, especially at distances over 10 yards. Despite the challenges of aging, Ken found himself achieving time splits he hadn’t seen in years.
Ken's journey is a testament to the fact that while change can be daunting, it often opens doors to new opportunities and improvements. While his iron sights will always hold a special place in his heart, he now embraces the red dot sight and the enhanced accuracy it provides.
It’s worth noting that merely converting to a red dot sight won't automatically make you a better marksman. But with commitment, a defined training process, and an open mind, it can lead to improved fundamentals and accuracy - regardless of the sighting system you choose to rely on.
Embrace the Change
Are you a seasoned shooter grappling with the idea of switching to a red dot sight? Perhaps Ken's journey will inspire you to take that leap. Remember, the best way to adapt to new technology is through consistent training and a willingness to learn. | weapons_science |

Codenamed Trinity, the test marked a pivotal moment in history, as it demonstrated the feasibility of atomic weapons – ultimately leading to the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki during World War II.
With the recent box office success of Oppenheimer, discussions surrounding the Trinity test and the subject of nuclear war are resurfacing. Mary Kavanagh’s exhibition, Trinity, Then and Now, located in the Grebel Gallery at the Kindred Credit Union Centre for Peace Advancement, explores the test’s lasting impact in a narrative context. All are invited to visit the gallery and explore Kavanagh’s compelling work dedicated to highlighting the complex ramifications of nuclear testing.
Kavanagh is an artist and Professor in the Department of Art at the University of Lethbridge in Alberta. She is a Tier I Board of Governors Research Chair (2020-2025), awarded for her work examining the material and embodied evidence of war and conflict, nuclear culture, and scarred landscapes, and her artwork has been exhibited across Canada and internationally.
Kavanagh describes the atomic bomb as “the ultimate act of creation and destruction.” There is a profound duality in these words. Scientifically speaking, the atomic bomb releases immense amounts of energy, far greater than that of any other human invention. It is a remarkable achievement to harness the fundamental forces of this very universe. Destruction, on the other hand, lies in the very implications of the bomb’s existence. Once the bomb has been unleashed, the ecological and human toll is irreversible.
The narrative of Trinity, Then and Now walks audiences through pieces of archival footage that display the building of the bomb, the heavily propagandized Cold War Nuclear Testing Program, and the violent Earthly repercussions caused by the morbid relationship between humans and nuclear technology.
Many seem to speak about nuclear war and Trinity as relics of the past. The legacy of nuclear war extends beyond one single event. The radiological toll of bombs such as Trinity have devastated and continue to devastate human life (specifically Indigenous populations) and fragile ecosystems. In this context, one may wonder how nuclear testing and nuclear war are truly differentiated.
Trinity, Then and Now represents only a small piece of Mary’s research focused on the long-term impacts of nuclear armament. Her large-scale project, titled Daughters of Uranium, explores the continuous psychological, ecological, and physical trauma that is triggered by nuclear armament. The name symbolizes the radioactive decay chain of Uranium 235, an isotope present in the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima.
The exhibition will be featured in the Grebel Gallery until February 28, 2024. Visitors are invited to drop in to see Trinity, Then and Now during the gallery’s regular hours, Monday through Thursday from 8:30 a.m. to 10:00 p.m., and 8:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. on Fridays. Questions, feedback, or group inquiries should be directed to Centre for Peace Advancement Coordinator Fatoumatta Camara ([email protected]).

It was an argument. A debate with someone who sincerely believed that escalating the war with Russia is a necessary evil to finally end the threat that he felt Russia was to the world. He believed that enduring a nuclear war would be preferable to Putin’s victory if he were to blackmail the earth to accede to his demands.
He insisted that Ukraine has agency. If so, Ukraine has so far refused to negotiate peace with Russia and will not do so until Russia leaves Ukraine. Ukraine has the luxury of refusing to negotiate peace with Russia. Why?
Because Ukraine has received enough foreign aid to sustain itself through a war that could possibly turn into a nuclear war. That’s agency. Everything we’re sending to Ukraine only delays a peace deal. And every day that passes is one day closer to a nuclear war.
I know they’re out there, those people say that a nuclear war is unlikely. Maybe that’s because they haven’t read the latest Nuclear Posture Review. I haven’t read it, either. But the Union of Concerned Scientists have read it, and they say it’s scary AF. Here’s a smattering of what they thought about the potential for Armageddon on October 27th:
This NPR does not reflect the sensible steps President Biden proposed as a candidate to reduce the nuclear threat. Instead, the document says the United States has no choice but to build all-new nuclear weapons, despite science-based findings that the current warheads in the arsenal will be reliable for decades to come with only modest maintenance efforts. It abandons the pledge Biden made on the campaign trail to support a “no first use” policy and declare that the sole purpose of U.S. nuclear weapons is to deter nuclear attacks on the United States and its allies. It endorses the new, lower-yield W76–2 warhead produced by the Trump administration that the 2020 Democratic Platform called “unnecessary, wasteful, and indefensible.” [emphasis mine]
The same people who say the risk of nuclear war is low, tell me that if Russia used nukes, it would lose all of its allies. Russia knows that China would be most unhappy if Russia launched a nuclear weapon anywhere. At least, China says so. I think India said something about that, too. | weapons_science |

Complete JP Full Mass AR-10 Bolt Carrier Group with JPBC-5 .308 Full Mass Carrier and JPEB-308HP JP High Pressure EnhancedBolt™, cam pin, firing pin and firing pin retaining pin. Carrier is 416 stainless steel with a very slick black QPQ finish. Bolt is made from 9310 steel which has up to 10 times the life expectancy of more commonly used steels. Has been engineered for added material and increased strength in key areas. Bolt has a Chromium Nitride Finish.
For police duty or any application where absolute reliability is the main criteria, our 416 stainless steel Full Mass Operating System (FMOS™) carrier design is the top of the line. Heavier than a standard .308 carrier, our large-frame JPBC-5 is the solution for rifle needing more mass regulation. Our full mass .308 carrier is designed to provide greater reliability in suppressed setups as well as SBRs and rifles without an adjustable gas system. Heavier than a standard DPMS LR-308 carrier, the JPBC-5 allows for the additional cycling delay required for reliable function in such setups.
This design incorporates forward assist serrations, making it compatible with both DPMS and Armalite rifles. Each carrier also includes out Enhanced Gas Ring for more reliable function.
Just as critical as the design is the robust finishing process of the FMOS™ carrier, which receives a roller-burnish of its bore for frictionless operation, eliminating the peeling chrome common to standard Mil-spec carriers. Then, the exterior bearing surfaces are polished before the carrier undergoes our state-of-the-art, multi-vendor QPQ (Quench-Polish-Quench) process that results in a rock-hard surface with remarkable natural lubricity. This is hands-down the best designed and highest quality general purpose carrier on the market, and when properly lubricated, a JP operating system will make your rifle feel like it's cycling on ball bearings.
JP .308 High Pressure Enhanced Bolt
For anyone using .308/7.62 AR-type rifles, it is common knowledge that many factory rounds exhibit excessive primer flow and/or ejector smear. At its core, this is a result of ammo development being done by manufacturers only for manual platforms without testing in semi-auto platforms. Some rifle manuals even record the maximum recommended load data beyond the functional range of these rifles. Unfortunately, these issues will persist until the manufacturers of ammunition realize that an AR platform requires a unique pressure curve to allow for both accuracy and reliability.
Manufactured to the exacting standards of our standard bolt offerings, the High Pressure EnhancedBolt™ design represents a giant leap forward in alleviating the problems traceable to over-pressured loads—namely primer flow, ejector smear, extraction issues, and ignition reliability. In combating these problems, this new bolt design opens up a much broader range of ammunition compatibility and load density in the AR .308/7.62 and other variants such as 6.5mm or 6mm calibers in this platform.
The critical advancement of this bolt comes in the reduced diameter firing pin orifice that precisely accommodates the .062" tip of our proprietary low mass firing pin. This modified relationship virtually eliminates primer flow and the possibility of pierced primers on any SAAMI or NATO specification ammunition while the reduced mass of the firing pin also improves lock time and ignition reliability with hard primers due to the concentration of kinetic energy on a smaller impact area. This is especially advantageous with some aftermarket match-type fire control systems that may use reduced-power hammer springs.
Among its other enhancements, the .308HP bolt features an improved ejector pin hole and modified ejector to mitigate case head extrusion and frequent brass shavings. The JP Enhanced Extractor eliminates virtually all extractor-related failures while the JP Enhanced Gas Rings provide a more reliable, lower friction gas seal with longer lifespan.
While ultimately every end user needs to be aware of the ammunition limitations of their large-frame AR, the JP .308HP bolt offers multiple advancements to vastly increase the ammunition and operational abilities of the platform.
WARNING / Disclaimer: The JP .308HP bolt does not allow for the use of excessive pressure, overloaded ammunition that exceeds SAAMI specifications. When evaluating new ammunition, always start on the low- to mid-range of any published load data and work up. A good indicator of working pressure is the primer retention on the subsequent loading of a case. A noticeable loss of primer pocket tension indicates that your ammunition has excessive pressure and has overworked the case.
BC-4 Bolt Carrier Assembly Group AR-10 Compatibility
This notice pertains to any rifle based on the large-format AR-10-type or LR-308 platform typically chambered in .308 Winchester, 7.62x51 NATO or other cartridges requiring the longer magazine format.
Be aware that these receiver platforms are not standardized like the AR-15/M16 platform for which most parts are cross-compatible. Before ordering accessories and parts for your large-format rifle, make sure the parts are compatible with your particular platform. The JPBC-4AHP complete bolt carrier assembly and its parts are compatible with the DPMS family of AR-10 products.
NOTICE: With the Armalite/Rock River family of large-frame receivers, this assembly can only be used as a complete bolt carrier assembly group. Interchanging individual components will result in an unsafe configuration. DO NOT under any circumstances mix and match components between the platforms.

“The U.S. and NATO partners are already sending several surface-to-air missile systems to Ukraine for defense assistance,” the channel reported.
According to the same reports, the additional systems include “mobile air defense systems from the Soviet era.” Among them are “Wasp” system (SA-8 by NATO classification), S-300 (SA-10) and S-300V (SA-12), and also MANPADS “Strela-3” (SA-14). The channel specified, citing a high-ranking official, that the systems were sent from a NATO partner country and “are on their way.
Russia began a military operation in Ukraine on February 24. President Vladimir Putin called its goal “to protect people who have been subjected to abuse, genocide by the Kiev regime for eight years.
For this purpose, he said, it was planned to “demilitarize and denationalize Ukraine,” and to put on trial all war criminals responsible for “bloody crimes against civilians” in Donbas.
According to a statement by the Russian Defense Ministry, the Armed Forces are striking only military infrastructure and Ukrainian troops. With the support of the RF Armed Forces, the DPR and LPR groups are developing an offensive, but there is no question of occupying Ukraine, the Russian president stressed. | weapons_science |

The paintballs are one of the most important equipment which is used by everyone. A type of marker which is used in paintballs is the paintball pistols. Paintball pistols are not used in tournament level speedball games. The paintballs have four main components such as body, hopper, gas system and barrel. Body is made of aluminum and is mainly designed to reduce the weight. Loaders are called hoppers and are used to fire the paintball. Gas system is composed of nitrogen and is stored in a tank at a very high pressure. Barrels direct the paintball and control the release of gas pocket behind it. These components together make the paintballs. | weapons_science |

Within about two to four seconds, aircraft velocity by the action of the catapult plus apparent wind speed (ship's speed plus or minus "natural" wind) is sufficient to allow an aircraft to fly away, even after losing one engine. and 1943 back to Trondheim; Hit a mine 7.9.44 in Skagerrak (near Stora Commander Colin C. Mitchell, RNV, recommended a steam-based system as an effective and efficient means to launch the next generation of naval aircraft.Trials on HMS Perseus, flown by pilots such as Eric "Winkle" Brown, from 1950 showed its effectiveness. They were mostly used for experimental purposes, and their use was entirely discontinued during the latter half of the war.. In the form used on aircraft carriers the catapult consists of a track, or slot, built into the flight deck, below which is a large piston or shuttle that is attached through the track to the nose gear of the aircraft, or in some cases a wire rope, called a catapult bridle, is attached to the aircraft and the catapult shuttle. BV 138, Two 8-cyl diesels, 2 Voith-Schneider propellers, 1800 hp, 12 knots, 5800 at 12 knots using 230-tons oil, 8800 at 10 knots, One 20-ton crane, One 20-ton Heinkel catapult for Do 18, Do 24 and After the Fall of France, these aircraft could operate from western France against British merchant ships in the Atlantic. CAM ships continued to carry their normal cargoes after conversion. Pilots were rotated out of CAM assignments after two round-trip voyages to avoid the deterioration of flying skills from the lack of flying time during the assignment. The flying boat would land on the open sea, be winched aboard by a crane, refueled, and then launched by catapult back into the air. She was sunk by U-108 on 2 June. Keep in mind, these catapults were shorter and offered a quicker stroke than the upper deck systems, and the aircraft did not have the benefit of the wind blowing over deck for help to become airborne either. completed 3.5.33; Taken over by the Luftwaffe in 1940, and was stationed dredger during the summer 1950 by N.V. Scheepswerven v/h Fa. Ground-launched V-1s were typically propelled up an inclined launch ramp by an apparatus known as a Dampferzeuger ("steam generator"). at 08.10hrs at 47.01N x 03.02W. CAM ships were World War II-era British merchant ships used in convoys as an emergency stop-gap until sufficient escort carriers became available. At the time when the Super Étendard was operated on board of the Charles de Gaulle, its bridles were used only once, as they were never recovered by bridle catchers. Taken over by the Luftwaffe 1.9.40 while in Las Palmas, Spain; soon CAM ships were World War II-era British merchant ships used in convoys as an emergency stop-gap until sufficient escort carriers became available. On 12 November 1912, Lt. Ellyson made history as the Navy's first successful catapult launch, from a stationary coal barge. , Nations that have retained large aircraft carriers, i.e., the United States Navy, French Navy, are still using a CATOBAR (Catapult Assisted Take Off But Arrested Recovery) configuration. Some had their aircraft and catapult removed during World War II e.g. The Luftwaffe used 7 catapult vessels during the war, 3 were built , The US Navy experimented with other power sources and models, including catapults that utilized gunpowder and flywheel variations. F-35C Lightning II Catapult Launch On Aircraft Carrier USS Nimitz. Moulton-Barrett commanded the unit providing training for volunteer pilots, fighter direction officers (FDOs), and airmen. Each team consisted of one pilot for Atlantic runs (or two pilots for voyages to Russia, Gibraltar, or the Mediterranean Sea), with one fitter, one rigger, one radio-telephone operator, one FDO, and a seaman torpedoman who worked on the catapult as an electrician. It will enhance any encyclopedic page you visit with the magic of the WIKI 2 technology. 2, FEBRUARY 1975, "Our Navy Has the Best Seaplane Catapult; New Invention of Captain Washington I.

Tromsö for 3./SAGr.130; also served 1./SAGr.131; The 1000th launch was a BV 138 The RAF formed the Merchant Ship Fighter Unit (MSFU) on 5 May 1941 in RAF Speke by the River Mersey in Liverpool. The aircraft carried were the Fairey Seafox or Supermarine Walrus. This Is What USAF Bomber Pilots Would Wear During a Nuclear Apocalypse. Following this launch, this method was used aboard both cruisers and battleships.. An F6F Hellcat launches off USS Hornet's (CV-12) hangar catapult. On 12 November 1912, Lt. Ellyson made history as the Navy's first successful catapult launch, from a stationary coal barge. The aircraft, carrying mailâbags, would be launched as a mail tender while the ship was still many hundreds of miles from its destination, thus speeding mail delivery by about a day. Reply; Melgyver. Subsequently, many Royal Navy ships carried a catapult and from one to four aircraft; battleships or battlecruisers like HMSÂ Prince of Wales carried four aircraft and HMSÂ Rodney carried two, while smaller warships like the cruiser HMNZSÂ Leander carried one. Naval aviation blossomed rapidly during World War II, a time when the aircraft carrier became the centerpiece of naval strategy. Navies introduced steam catapults, capable of launching the heavier jet fighters, in the mid-1950s. During Refueling and Complex Overhaul refits in the late 1990sâearly 2000s, the bridle catchers were removed from the first three Nimitz-class aircraft carriers. A central control tower located to the side of the landing strip housed advanced radio communication and radar equipment used to keep in touch with aviators and track both friendly and enemy craft. From April 1935 the Wals were launched directly offshore, and flew the entire distance across the ocean. The U.S. Navy's upcoming Gerald R. Ford-class aircraft carriers includes electromagnetic catapults in its design. You could also do it yourself at any point in time. Some had their aircraft and catapult removed during World War II e.g. These aircraft can take off vertically with a light load, or use a ski jump to assist a rolling takeoff with a heavy load. This page was last edited on 12 April 2017, at 13:51. That's it. This was possible as the flying boats could carry more fuel when they did not have to take off from the water under their own power, and cut the time it took for mail to get from Germany to Brazil from four days down to three. Many naval vessels apart from aircraft carriers carried float planes, seaplanes or amphibians for reconnaissance and spotting. 63, NO. The first attempt nearly killed Lieutenant Ellyson when the plane left the ramp with its nose pointing upward and it caught a crosswind, pushing the plane into the water. Many of World War II’s greatest battles were fought at sea, making naval technologies crucial to all sides. The planes were Hurricane Mark Is, converted to Sea Hurricane IAs. On 14 December 1924, a Martin MO-1 observation plane flown by Lt. L. C. Hayden was launched from USSÂ Langley using a catapult powered by gunpowder. Some fighters were even completed without landing gear for this purpose, intended to be emergency single-use disposable fighters to drive off enemy aircraft if they attacked or spotted the convoy. 1./SAGr.131; In 1946 There were small ropes that would attach to bridle the shuttle, which continued down the angled horn to pull the bridle down and away from the aircraft to keep from damaging the underbelly which was then caught by nets aside the horn. On a modern carrier catapulted aircraft land like conventional aircraft, sometimes with the help of arresting gear when landing on deck. Test launch of a Hurricane using the rocket-catapult of a CAM ship, Final checks on an aircraft catapult prior to flight operations aboard. The CDO waved his blue flag indicating he was ready to launch upon a signal from the pilot. Because of this mutual interoperability, American aircraft are also capable of being catapulted from and landing on Charles De Gaulle, and conversely, French naval aircraft can use the US Navy carriers' catapults. As adequate numbers of escort carriers became available, CAM sailings on North American and Arctic Russian convoys were discontinued in August 1942. Ground-launched V-1s were typically propelled up an inclined launch ramp by an apparatus known as a Dampferzeuger ("steam generator").

American WW2 Vehicles
The U.S. Army's acronym for the amphibious truck (DUKW) was pronounced"Duck,"which was appropriate for a waterborne craft equally at home on land. The name was derived from the manufacturer's designators D (model year 1942), U (amphibious), K (all-wheel drive), and W (dual rear axles). The Duck was based on a standard two-and-a-half-ton truck chassis with six wheels and could make five and a half knots in water but upward of 50 mph ashore. With all-wheel drive for its three axles it had excellent traction, making it a desirable cross-country vehicle. It could deliver between twenty-five and fifty troops or five thousand pounds of cargo. First employed in Operation Husky, the invasion of Sicily in July 1943, DUKWs were a mainstay of U.S. Army amphibious operations, including the invasion of Italy and Normandy. Some twenty-one thousand were manufactured throughout the war.
Normally four bulldozers were allotted to each U.S. infantry division, but more were provided for Overlord. Even then, very few got ashore in time to help-just three of sixteen at Omaha Beach. The difficulty of unloading the heavy vehicles in deep water proved more of a problem than did enemy action. However, those that did survive unloading and German fire proved extremely useful. They removed obstacles and bladed clear paths for other vehicles across the dunes leading inland. After the beachhead was secure, bulldozers were constantly in use by engineers to improve roads and construct advanced airfields. General Eisenhower considered bulldozers so important that he listed them as one of the significant WW2 weapons of the European campaign. Bulldozer blades also were affixed to Sherman tanks.
The halftrack was a hybrid, a lightly armored vehicle with front wheels and a tread in the rear. Its mobility and cross-country capability made it ideal for mechanized infantry, though halftracks also were adapted for light artillery and antiaircraft use.
The U.S. Army mainly deployed the M2, M3, and M5 series of halftracks, built by Autocar, White, and Diamond T companies. Dimensions and performance were similar: about twenty feet long (including a tenthousandpound winch), a six-cylinder, 148 hp engine, and three thousand pounds empty weight. Halftracks could reach 45 mph and cruise 220 miles carrying ten to twelve men. Armament generally was a pedestal-mounted .30 or .50 caliber machine gun plus small arms. Mines and hand grenades also were included.
The most impressive halftracks were M16 (White) and M17 (International) versions mounting quad-.50 mounts for antiaircraft defense.
The most iconic of American WW2 vehicles. Officially the jeep was a quarter-ton truck, but its versatility exceeded that designation. Easily the most famous vehicle of World War II, the jeep derived its name from the acronym for GP (general purpose) vehicle.
When the German army overran Western Europe in 1940, the importance of mechanized transport became apparent to the United States. Consequently, the U.S. Army issued a seemingly impossible request to 135 companies: produce a prototype quarter-ton light truck in forty-nine days. Only two firms responded-American Bantam and Willys-Overland. The Bantam prototype was rolled out on 21 September 1940, followed by Willys and a belated Ford entry. Willys's exceptional engine produced 105 foot-pounds of torque compared to eighty-five for the Ford, while Bantam's design was overweight. The army ordered 1,500 examples from Willys and Ford with deliveries commencing in the spring of 1941. As a consolation, Bantam was given the contract for building the trailer designed to be towed by jeeps.
The jeep was ten feet, nine inches in length and had an eighty-inch wheel-base; its ground clearance was not quite nine inches. The heart of the rugged little vehicle was a four-cylinder, 55 hp engine that yielded a surprising twenty miles per gallon fully loaded. It became a four-wheeldrive, light truck capable of carrying five soldiers, eight hundred pounds of cargo, or towing a 37 mm antitank gun.
Over the next four years an incredible 640,000 jeeps were built, 56 percent by Ford, which received a production license from Willys. Nearly onethird of all jeeps went to the British or Soviets, while typically 149 were issued to every U.S. Army infantry regiment. Jeeps were used in every theater of war for reconnaissance, casualty evacuation, resupply, and all manner of support roles. The four-wheel-drive feature combined with the engine's torque enabled the jeep to traverse seemingly unpassable terrain, whether steep hills, rutted ravines, or muddy quagmires.
Airborne units especially appreciated jeeps, as the quarter-ton trucks fit in gliders and provided both reconnaissance and much-needed transport behind enemy lines. In 1944 infantry glider regiments had twenty-four jeeps, and parachute regiments had seventeen. Armament usually consisted of a pedestal-mounted .30 or .50 caliber machine gun.
Gen. Dwight Eisenhower considered the jeep one of the most significant WW2 weapons of World War II; Gen. George C. Marshall called it America's greatest contribution to modern warfare.
The U.S. Army possessed an enormous number and variety of motor transport. Among the more typical were:
Command and Reconnaissance Truck
A half-ton, four-by-four vehicle made by Dodge, the command car carried a driver and four passengers. Empty weight was 4,600 pounds, but a thousand pounds of payload brought operating weight to 5,600. With a six-cylinder engine it was capable of 56 mph; nominal range was three hundred miles.

A Dodge design from Chrysler Corporation, the half-ton WW2 weapons carrier was a versatile machine. With an empty weight of 4,200 pounds, it carried a half ton of equipment or personnel. Its four-wheel-drive capability enabled it to ford a stream nearly three feet deep, and the six-cylinder engine drove it at 55 mph.
Though shorter than the half-ton carrier, the Dodge three-quarter-ton vehicle delivered 50 percent more WW2 weapons, troops, or equipment. Its performance was comparable, reaching 54 mph with a 240-mile range. Both types of carriers were often equipped with a powerful winch capable of towing a five-thousand-pound load.
Several general-purpose trucks delivered troops, fuel, food, ammunition, and other supplies during the Normandy campaign. Smallest were the one-and-a-half-ton variety from Chevrolet, Dodge, and Ford, with a basic weight of 7,550 pounds and a three-thousand-pound capacity. They were two-axle vehicles with six-cylinder, 83 hp engines capable of 48 mph with a 270-mile cruising range.
A three-axle Dodge was a useful six-by-six that could ford nearly three feet of water. Its empty weight of 6,900 pounds transported a ton and a half of cargo almost 250 miles, reaching top speeds of 54 mph. The in-line sixcylinder engine was rated at ninety-two horsepower.
Perhaps the most famous category of military trucks was the"deuce and a half,"built in at least three basic models, with a five-thousand-pound capacity. There were two- and three-axle chassis with a basic weight of 7,300 pounds and ten thousand pounds, respectively. The latter were six-by-four and six-by-six models with good cross-country capability and road speeds of 45 mph. Range varied between 230 and three hundred miles. Manufacturers included General Motors, Studebaker, International Harvester, and Mack. Some four hundred thousand such vehicles were shipped to Russia, helping make the Red Army more mobile than the Wehrmacht.
Four-ton trucks were two-axle models from Four-Wheel Drive Company and three-axle from Diamond T. The four-by-four version weighed 11,400 pounds empty, the six-by-six 18,400. They transported eight thousand pounds at 35 to 40 mph on roads, though the smaller vehicle possessed greater range-220 miles compared to 180. About one-quarter of the Diamond T versions were built with M36"sky mounts"for .50 caliber machine guns as antiaircraft defense.
Large, three-axle trucks needed to tow heavy artillery and similar objects were called"prime movers."The U.S. Army had two basic models: a six-ton vehicle from Brockway, Corbitt, Mack, and White; and a seven-and-one-half ton truck from Mack. Both were six-by-sixes; the former a general-purpose vehicle weighing twenty-two thousand pounds, while the latter was 29,600 pounds empty, used for towing 155 mm and 240 mm artillery pieces. Both were capable of 30 to 35 mph without a load.
British WW2 Vehicles
Bren Gun Carrier
The Bren Gun Carrier is perhaps most iconic of British WW2 vehicles.
Despite the name, the Bren gun carrier was not specifically designed to carry a Bren gun and crew. Designated the British Universal Carrier (BUC), it was a tracked general-purpose vehicle capable of 35 mph on open ground. The BUC normally had a two-man crew-commander and driver-but the V-8 engine was so loud that communication was nearly impossible. Its lightly armored, open body design permitted easy access and could accept a variety of loads, including a two-inch mortar or light antitank WW2 weapons. It also served as a troop transport and command vehicle with three passengers besides the crew. The carrier could tow a 37 mm antitank gun or a trailer. Production was expanded to Canada, Australia, and the United States.
A Bren gun carrier appears in The Longest Day-the beachmaster (Kenneth More) pounds the vehicle into life with his shillelagh.
German WW2 Vehicles
Light Army Car
Roughly equivalent to the U.S. Jeep among German variants of WW2 vehicles but not as versatile, the Kurbelwagen was developed from the Volkswagen"people's car"with a four-seat capacity and convertible top. The rear-mounted, air-cooled engine produced 24.5 hp, which yielded about 50 mph on level ground. Its two-wheel drive pre- vented any similarity in cross-country performance with the Jeep, though a Schwimmwagen amphibious version was produced. Maj. Werner Pluskat (Hans-Christian Blech) of the 352d Division is strafed in a Kurbelwagen in The Longest Day.
The Germans pioneered the class of military vehicles known as"armored personnel carriers."Beginning in 1939, the one-ton Sd. Kfz. 250 was followed by the three-ton Sd. Kfz. 251, which also accepted a 37 mm antitank or 20 mm antiaircraft gun. Built with light protection (usually six to fifteen millimeters), they possessed unusually good defensive qualities, owing to the sloped armor. Probably the most common version in Normandy was the 251D, produced from 1943 onward. It was capable of some 30 mph on roads with 180-mile range.
Apart from carrying panzer grenadiers into action, halftracks were enormously versatile. Among other missions, they functioned as command vehicles, communication platforms, ammunition carriers, and battlefield ambulances. According to various sources, from fifteen to sixteen thousand or more German halftracks were built during the war. At least five manufacturers were involved, including Auto Union, Maybach, and Norddeutsche.
Like the Allies, the Germans produced a variety of military trucks including, ironically, American designs.
The Opel Blitz was a three-ton general-purpose vehicle with several specialized bodies. The 3.6 series chassis was basically a Chevrolet commercial type with a 3.6-liter water-cooled six-cylinder engine of about sixty-eight horsepower. A four-wheel-drive version was designated Type 6700.
Ford designs were the basis of the three-ton capacity G917 and G997 models, with 78 hp V-8 water-cooled engines. The latter, with a larger bore, had a 3.9-liter engine. Both were two-wheel drive.
Another three-ton model was the Mercedes Benz LCF 3000, with a fiveliter, four-cylinder diesel. The transmission afforded four forward speeds and one reverse; an auxiliary gearbox permitted road or cross-country gear ratios. However, the two-wheel-drive design limited off-road use.
Perhaps the most useful German truck was the Bussing-NAG diesel, rated at four and one-half tons capacity. American tests of captured examples demonstrated an average road speed of 21 mph in traffic, with fuel mileage of better than eight miles per gallon. Most notably, the Bussing accepted loads of six and three-quarter tons without difficulty.
The German army designated its heaviest vehicles as prime movers, generally for towing the largest mobile artillery pieces. Probably the most common were eight-ton medium halftracks from Hansa-Lloyd and KM, appearing in 1935 and 1939. Three, five, and twelve-ton models also were produced.
WW2 Tanks: American, British, and German
Armored warfare was a salient feature of the Second World War; among WW2 tanks the Allied and German armies all employed tanks and other armored vehicles. Apart from battle tanks (which the British called"cruisers") there were infantry support tanks, reconnaissance vehicles and armored cars, personnel carriers, and tank destroyers, which often were based on tank chassis. There were even plans to put tanks on landing craft. At the start of the Normandy campaign the Allies possessed about 5,300 tanks compared to Germany's 1,500.
To focus on a particular instance in which WW2 tanks came into direct conflict, this article will focus on the Invasion of Normandy.
Though America produced enormous numbers of armored vehicles (forty-seven thousand tanks alone in 1943-44), only two main types were used by the U.S. Army.
M3 and M5 Stuart
When the M3, an evolutionary design based on the M2A4, was introduced in March 1941 it was in no way competitive as a battle tank. Certainly it could not compare to the German Mark IV or the British Crusader, let alone the Soviet T-34. However, the M3 was available in numbers sufficient for export and used by the British, who dubbed it the"Stuart"after the Confederate cavalry hero of the American Civil War. Armed with only a 37 mm gun and protected by no more than two inches of armor, it was nevertheless fast and agile with a four-man crew. Powered by either gas or diesel engines, Stuarts could reach thirty-seven miles per hour on roads. In Normandy, the M3 had no chance against German armor but was useful as an infantry support and reconnaissance vehicle.
From 1941 to 1943 Stuarts were built in three main variants and several lesser models. Total M3 production was some 13,600 tanks, of which 5,400 were provided to Britain and 1,600 to Russia. British tankers were so fond of the type that they nicknamed it"Honey,"and not without reason-it was fast, reliable, seldom threw treads, and proved reasonably easy to maintain.
The M5 was an upgraded version of the M3, weighing 16.5 tons. Owing to a need for more tanks of already existing models, the first of some 6,800 M5s were not delivered until November 1942. The M5 was primarily distinguished from the M3 by sloping glacis armor and a larger engine compartment to accommodate two Cadillac V-8s.
The Sherman had many failings as a battle tank. Its gasoline engine (variously 425 to 500 horsepower) was prone to"brewing up"and burning its five-man crew to death. Consequently, diesels were used in M4A2s and A6s. It was tall and top-heavy, making it a better target than the panzers or T-34, and it was outgunned by enemy tanks. However, it also had significant advantages, not least of which was availability. More than forty thousand Shermans were built from 1941 to 1946, meeting the needs of not only the U.S. Army but partly those of the British and Soviets as well. The Sherman, weighing between thirty-three and thirty-five tons, had armor 1.5 to 2.5 inches thick, easily defeated by many German weapons. In fact, Wehrmacht gunners described Shermans as"Ronsons"for the ease with which they could be made to burn. Though the M4's 75 mm gun was adequate for originally envisioned purposes, the requirement set for a ten-thousand-round tube life dictated a low muzzle velocity, leading to poor penetration, and it is doubtful that many Shermans fired much over five hundred rounds. With greater experience, the British recognized the armament problem and upgraded to a seventeen-pounder (76 mm) in the Firefly version.
Shermans lent themselves to other uses as well, including the chassis and hull for the M10 tank destroyer and a variety of engineering vehicles. Conventional Shermans were fitted with the duplex drive kit and inflatable"skirts"for amphibious operations but proved largely unworkable on 6 June. “Funny” devices were added for the D-Day campaign, especially bulldozer blades and field-designed plows capable of penetrating the exceptionally thick foliage of Normandy's bocage. The latter were developed by Sgt. Curtis Culin of the Second Armored Division, using scrap steel from destroyed German obstacles.
The M18 tank destroyer sustained a three-year development period, beginning with the dead-end T49 gun motor carriage (or GMC) with, progressively, 37, 57, and 75 mm WW2 weapons. The constant was a Continental R975 400 hp radial engine retained in the T67 vehicle, approved by the army in 1943. At that time the Tank Destroyer Command decided on a highvelocity 76 mm gun.
Six prototypes were built as the T70 GMC, which was modified with a new hull face and an open, full-traversing turret. Designated M18, the new tank destroyer was fairly light at twenty tons, clocking 45 mph on the road and twenty cross-country. Buick began production in February 1944, delivering 2,500 through October of that year. A five-man crew was protected by half-inch hull armor and one inch in the turret, which proved insufficient once the Germans learned the vehicle's shortcomings. However, the Hellcat's speed and agility enabled it to"get out of trouble faster than it got in."During July 1944 the 630th Tank Destroyer Battalion claimed fifty-three German tanks and fifteen self-propelled guns destroyed in exchange for seventeen Hellcats.
The British army lost most of its tanks at Dunkirk in 1940 and had to rebuild its armored force. Throughout the war Britain produced some twenty-four thousand armored vehicles of its own but received 3,600 built in Canada and 25,600 from America. If anything, Britain obtained too many different models of tanks and armored vehicles, where it might have concentrated on a few proven designs.
Developed from the Cromwell, the Centaur was distinct in having a Liberty engine, but most were subsequently converted to Cromwells by reequipping with Meteor engines. Because Centaurs were built with sixpounder guns they were considered unsuitable for combat and were primarily used as training vehicles. Some were put to other uses, such as antiaircraft platforms with twin 20 mm cannon or armored reconnaissance vehicles. However, eighty were upgraded with 95 mm howitzers for the Royal Marine Armoured Support Group (See British Royal Marines) on D-Day.
The forty-ton Churchill was among the heaviest Allied tanks of World War II. Like most British tanks it had a five-man crew. Its 350-horsepower engine, a Bedford twin six, drove it at barely twelve miles per hour, owing to its unusually heavy protection of six-inch frontal armor. Armed with a 75 mm main gun, the Churchill was better able to engage German armor than any other British tank.
The Crocodile variant of the Churchill was a flamethrower tank, towing a trailer with four hundred gallons (1,810 liters) of fuel, enough for eighty seconds' duration. The flame jet could be streamed 120 yards, though seventy-five yards was considered the maximum effective distance.
The Cromwell replaced the ineffective Crusader and was deployed in early 1943. Powered by a six-hundred-horsepower Rolls-Royce Meteor engine, the twenty-seven-ton Cromwell was variously reported as having top speeds on flat terrain of thirty-eight to fifty miles per hour. It mounted a 75 mm cannon and was protected by armor between a third of an inch and three inches thick.
The need for armored support of airborne troops led to the Tetrarch, which became the basis around which the large Hamilcar glider was designed. Weighing barely eight tons, the Tetrarch had a 165-horsepower engine that drove it upward of forty miles per hour on flat terrain. The three-man crew fired a 76 mm close-support howitzer, being protected by armor of half-inch maximum thickness.
Germany and the Soviet Union built the best tanks of World War II. Among WW2 tanks, the series of Panzerkampfwagen (armored fighting vehicles) that spearheaded Hitler's blitzkriegs in Europe and Russia caught the world's attention and convinced other Western nations of the need to match the German standard. Unlike Britain, which produced a variety of mediocre designs, the German panzer force relied essentially on three types, each excellent for its purpose. Many German tanks used diesel fuel, which gave their crews an excellent chance of surviving battle damage, in contrast to the American Sherman, with its gasoline-powered engine.
Panzer Mark IV
The Mark IV was the most common German WW2 tank, and therefore in Normandy. More than eight thousand were built. Designed in 1937, the early models were armed with short-barreled 75 mm guns best suited for infantry support. However, combat experience-especially in Russia- demonstrated the need for more velocity and attendant greater penetration of enemy armor. Therefore, a long-barreled gun was added; the resulting Mark IVG became the third main variant, appearing in 1943. It weighed 25.5 tons and was powered by a Maybach three-hundred-horsepower engine delivering a top speed of twenty-five miles per hour. The five-man crew was protected by thirty to eighty millimeters (1.2 to 3.2 inches) of armor and had a standard load of eighty-seven main-gun rounds.
Panzer Mark V Panther
One of the most attractive tanks of all time, the Panther incorporated wartime experience in its design. Its sloping armor (up to fifty-five degrees) was calculated to deflect enemy rounds striking at any angle other than nearly ninety degrees. With forty to eighty millimeters (1.6 to 3.2 inches) of armor and a high-velocity Kw.K.42 75 mm gun, the Panther was a formidable opponent on any front. Though unusually heavy for its day, at some fifty tons (about twice the Mark IV), the Mark V was reasonably fast-its gasoline Maybach 690-horsepower engine drove it at twenty-five miles per hour-but it could cruise 125 miles on roads. Panthers were deployed in time for the battle of Kursk in Russia during the summer of 1943 but experienced mechanical problems there. Subsequent improvements were made to the suspension and transmission, and some five thousand Panthers were ultimately produced.
Panzer Mark VI Tiger
The definitive German tank, the Tiger appeared in 1942. It was a sixtytwo-ton land cruiser with the awesome 88 mm Kw.K.36 L/56 (i.e., barrel length equal to fifty-six bore diameters) cannon that was already feared and respected by the Allies. The gun was extremely accurate; reportedly, it could place five rounds within eighteen inches of each other at 1,200 yards. The Tiger was protected by sixty-two to 102 millimeters (2.4 to 4 inches) of armor, rendering it almost impervious to conventional antitank WW2 weapons. It had the same basic engine as the Panther-a twelve-cylinder, 690 hp Maybach, which produced a respectable road speed of twenty-four miles per hour, about half as fast cross country.
Despite their strengths, Tigers were so expensive to produce-just 1,340 were made-that they were issued to only company and occasionally battalion-sized units. The seventy-ton King Tiger was not considered as successful as the original model, being better suited to defense than offense. In fact, some bridges could not support the"Royal"Mark VI.
Sd. Kfz. 138 Marder III
In 1942 the Marder (named for the marten, a tree-climbing weasel) was a"quick fix"for German armored units suddenly confronted with superior Soviet tanks like the T-34. The German PaK.40 75 mm gun was mated to the Czech 38(t) chassis with a Praga six-cylinder gasoline engine of 150 hp. The open-top, twelve-ton vehicle took a four-man crew. Nearly 1,000 Sd. Kfz. 138s were procured, as were 344 Sd. Kfz. 139s with the Soviet 76 mm gun chambered for German ammunition. Most of the latter were sent to the Eastern Front, though about sixty-five were shipped to North Africa.
Sd. Kfz. 142/Stu.G. III Assault Gun
As a production expedient this self-propelled assault gun was based on the Panzer Mark III chassis with 20-to-81-millimeter (0.8-to-3.25-inch) armor. Overall length (including gun) was twenty-two feet, six inches; height seven feet. It was produced in two main versions-the 142/1 with a 75 mm gun and the 142/2 with a 110 mm howitzer. Both were intended as infantry support vehicles, but the first version also proved effective in the antitank role. However, the 142/2 was among the most numerous German armored vehicles, with some 7,700 produced. The Stu.G. IIIs weighed about twenty-six tons, with the same Maybach V-12 gas engine of 300 hp.
Sd. Kfz. 173 Jagdpanzer
Built on a Panther chassis, the"Hunting Panther"lacked the Panzer Mark V turret but mounted the long-barreled 88 mm PaK.43 L/71 (length equaled seventy-one diameters), which was capable of destroying any Allied tank in France. Weighing fifty-one tons with a five-man crew, the Jagdpanzer was powered by a Maybach V-12 gas engine of 700 hp, which drove it at 28 mph on roads.
Like the Marder, the Hetzer (Baiter) was built on the four-man Czech 38(t) chassis with the Praga 150 hp engine. However, it was a fully enclosed vehicle of 17.6 tons, measuring sixteen feet long and seven feet high. It mounted a 75 mm PaK.39 L/48 gun that could penetrate most armor at typical engagement distances. With its seven-foot silhouette and twenty to sixty millimeters (0.8 to 2.4 inches) of sloping armor, the eighteen-ton Hetzer was an effective tank killer, though its limited traverse was a drawback. It could make 24 mph on roads and 10 mph cross country. More than 2,500 were produced.
Naval Artillery: Firepower on Display at D-Day
Naval artillery has been a primary feature of naval power since cannons were mounted to war vessels. But they were a critical component of Allied victory in World War Two, particularly at D-Day. This article will describe the naval artillery available to America on June 6, 1944.
Lacking sufficient land-based artillery in the assault divisions on D-Day, the Allies brought powerful naval artillery to Normandy. It was provided by seven battleships, twenty-three cruisers, ninety-three destroyers, two monitors, and two gunboats. Supporting vessels included 142 escorts or corvettes and fifteen sloops.
The Germans kept their reserves well inland, away from the landing beaches and landing ships, having experienced Allied NGF in Sicily and Italy.
Because most gunfire support ships could not see their targets, indirect fire was required. Aerial observation was an important aspect of effective NGF, though weather conditions on 6 June tended to obscure targets. Both infantry and airborne forces had gunfire spotters down to the battalion level, and some naval officers jumped with the paratroopers to provide an organic spotter capability.
Some destroyers slid within a few hundred yards of their assigned beaches to support the army, and though communication problems frequently arose, the overall effect was largely b | weapons_science |

The Guam Island is very important for the US operations in Pacific and US will protect this at any cost. There are media reports that China aiming its target at Guam Island. In event of US-China war, China might attack on Guam Island with missiles.
Even one event of military action from either side could push world into World War 3. The tension between US and China is at very dangerous stage; Adm. Phil Davidson warned that Chinese military could target the U.S. Island with deadly warhead like cruise and ballistic missiles.
The People’s Liberation Army Rocket Force is much capable of attacking Guam Island with 2,500-mile-range DF-26 ballistic missiles. Chinese Air Force’s H-6 bombers are also capable of executing strike at the Guam Island with 900-mile CJ-10 cruise missiles.
Chinese People’s Liberation Army Navy’s ships are also capable of firing YJ-18 cruise missiles from around 300 miles away. But it is still unclear about the count of such weapons China possesses. Defense experts also suspect the capability of Chinese system during war.
So, the Defense expert says that the China might attack Guam Island in event of war with United States.
US is in process of installing $2-billion-apiece Aegis Ashore facilities in Romania and Poland. The plan of installing the Aegis system in Japan was cancelled due to strong local opposition.
Now US could install another $2 billion Aegis Missile Defense Systems on Guam Island.
It is to be noted that powerful countries like Australian, Japanese, U.S., Japan and India working together to fight China threat.
US accused China of spreading Coronavirus around the world due to which millions of people around the world got infected and over 6,46,000 people died around the world.

Iran switches centrifuges
On Saturday, Iran announced that it has begun using advanced centrifuges to enrich uranium. The 2015 Iran Nuclear Deal had limited Iran to using 5060 first generation centrifuges. Iran has started using centrifuges that would enrich at 4 to 10 times faster rate. It also announced it will continue to allow IAEA monitoring of its nuclear sites but warned that Europe needs to get a deal quickly.
The world's reaction
US Defense Secretary Mark Esper commented that the development is “no surprise” since Iran will “pursue” whatever they intend to. Germany “urged” Iran to stop taking steps to leave the deal. France President Macron discussedIran’s reactions over a call with Putin ahead their meeting on security issues.
Washington Examiner: Iran threatens to make weapons-grade uranium with tech banned by nuclear deal
Washington Free Beacon: Iran Further Breaches Nuclear Deal, Says It Can Exceed 20% Enrichment
The right focuses on the implications of Iran’s actions to prospects of a nuclear Iran. They highlight that using more advanced centrifuges would “shorten the one year time frame” Iran needs to develop a nuclear weapon. The articles acknowledge comments from Iranian officials that assert Iran is not currently “after the bomb” but point to Iran’s warning of further steps as evidence it is considering the possibility.
The left believes that Iran’s actions are “symbolic gestures” designed to get Europe to act. They note that the actions are carefully calculated to “highlight the urgency” for European help while not going too far to “trigger a US armed response”. These articles also emphasize that Iran’s actions are steps that could be “undone” if Europe helps Iran recover lost oil revenue due to U.S. sanctions.
Where's the common ground?
Both sides agree that using advanced centrifuges is a step prohibited by the nuclear deal. They disagree whether it was taken to get Europe to help Iran or as a part of Iran’s pursuit of nuclear weapons.

The signal is from the magnitude 5.2 Indian nuclear test on May 11, 1998. Although this station is not part of the official International Monitoring System for the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty, it is the closest open seismic station to the Indian test site 750 km to the south.
According to Indian announcements, the test consisted of a 43-kiloton thermonuclear explosion, a 12-kiloton fission explosion and a 0.2-kiloton fission explosion. Reportedly, the nuclear devices were detonated simultaneously in two deep holes, drilled roughly 1,100 yards apart.
In addition to confirming that a nuclear explosion had occurred at the Indian test site, the seismic data has allowed independent evaluation of the validity of India's claims. In contrast to India's announcement of a cumulative yield of 55 kilotons, a magnitude 5.2 seismic event at the Indian test site corresponds to an underground nuclear explosion with an equivalent yield of approximately 5-25 kilotons.

The Pentagon wants a fleet of animal-inspired flying drones armed with lasers that can destroy any potential threat to the U.S., including enemy missiles waiting to be launched from their pads, reported The Daily Mail.
The U.S. Missile Defense Agency (MDA) has put in a budget request of $9.9 billion for 2019. Of that amount, $66 million will go into funding its Low Power Laser Demonstrator (LPLD).
The end goal of the LPLD program is to develop a laser that is small enough to fit aboard a drone and powerful enough to destroy missiles with one shot. The MDA promises a test-worthy system in two years’ time if its budget gets approved.
Defense officials are pinning their hopes on these lasers and other advanced anti-missile technologies to stop potential North Korean attacks against U.S. territories and allies in the Pacific region.
A DefenseOne.com article stated that large numbers of laser-armed drones can shoot down enemy missiles no matter where they are located. The best way to use them would be to deploy them within range of enemy territory so that they could destroy the missiles on the ground or intercept them as they are being launched.
These airborne attack craft will be armed with solid-state lasers that are a step above the older chemical lasers or solid-state bulk lasers. The new lasers will use the same fiber-optic technology as modern communications cables. That allows them to be built much smaller than previous generations of laser weapons while also generating enough power to destroy a large missile.
The first phase of the solid-state fiber laser program began last year when MDA contracted Lockheed Martin, Boeing, and General Atomics. Each company will devise a solution for a working laser weapon and present it to the Pentagon by 2019.
The winning company will be given further funding to build a prototype laser for testing by 2020 at the latest. (Related: Video game orbital lasers come to life: Chinese engineers propose to zap space debris out of orbit with giant lasers.)
Unmanned combat vehicles are expected to exert immense effects in future conflicts. The U.S. military has understandably spent many billions of dollars to make sure its fleet of combat drones is the best in the world.
To this end, the Department of Defense (DoD) launched the Defense Enterprise Science Initiative (DESI) this January. DESI will issue “defense challenges” that will hopefully inspire engineers and researchers to devise clever and practical solutions.
Sensors, mobility, and autonomy are this year’s focus. One of the defense challenges calls for the creation of autonomous drones that can match the agility of bats and flying insects.
DESI has called for a new paradigm in autonomous flight that combines agility and autonomy. Unmanned craft must be able to make swift decisions, switch directions, or dodge obstacles without human prompting. That means improving the algorithms that handle flight and decision-making trees until the drone can react fast enough.
Furthermore, the contest believes new technological advances can be gleaned from the myriad ways bats, flying insects, and other flight-capable animals move their bodies during flight.
According to DESI, the current strides in sensors, processors, and flight control algorithms are perfect for the job. It calls for the creation of an autonomous unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) that is more maneuverable, survivable, and stealthy compared to the typical quad-copter or fixed-wing drone.
If DESI produces a workable animal-like drone, chances are it will be armed with a production version of the MDA’s solid-state fiber laser, paving the way for flocks of drones that will rain lasers upon enemy missile batteries.

The South Korean military said that two missiles flew over the country after their successive launches in the west of North Korea and then plunged into the water off the east coast. Accordingly, it is probably a short-range ballistic missile.
The South Korean military also condemned the test with a view to the global corona virus crisis. “Such a military operation by North Korea is highly inappropriate at a time when Covid-19 is causing problems worldwide.”
The South Korean military called on the neighboring country, isolated due to its nuclear weapons program, to stop testing immediately. UN resolutions prohibit North Korea from testing ballistic missiles, which, depending on their design, can also carry nuclear warheads.
According to the information, the rockets flew about 410 kilometers at an altitude of up to 50 kilometers. Further technical details would be examined together with the US authorities. The South Korean armed forces would monitor the situation in the event of further missile tests.
North Korea had only fired short-range missiles again in early March after a three-month break. Nuclear talks with the US have been on hold for about a year. | weapons_science |

Its complete designation, SKS-45, is an initialism for Samozaryadnyj Karabin sistemy Simonova, or SKS 45. In the early 1950s, the Soviets took the SKS carbine out of front-line service and replaced it with the AK-47; however, the SKS remained in second-line service for decades. It is still used as a ceremonial arm today. The SKS was widely exported, and was also produced by some former Eastern Bloc nations as well as China, where it was designated the “Type 56”, East Germany as the Karabiner S and in North Korea as the “Type 63”. The SKS is currently popular on the civilian surplus market in many countries, including the United States, Canada and New Zealand. It was one of the first weapons chambered for the 7.62×39mm M43 round, which was also used later in the AK-47.
The SKS has a conventional layout, with a wooden stock and rifle grip. The SKS is a gas-operated weapon that has a spring-loaded bolt carrier and a gas piston rod that work the action via gas pressure pushing against them. Also, it has a “tilting bolt” action locking system. The SKS is shorter and less powerful than the semi-automatic rifles that preceded it, such as the Soviet SVT-40. However, the SKS has a 4-inch longer barrel than AK-series rifles, which replaced it; as a result, it has a slightly higher muzzle velocity.
The SKS’s ten-round box magazine is fed from a stripper clip and rounds stored in the magazine can be removed by depressing a magazine catch located forward of the trigger guard (thus opening the “floor” of the magazine and allowing the rounds to fall out). In typical military use the stripper clips are disposable. If necessary they can be reloaded multiple times and reused.
While early Soviet models had spring-loaded firing pins, most variants of the SKS have a free floating firing pin within the bolt. Because of this design, care must be taken during cleaning (especially after long storage) to ensure that the firing pin does not stick in the forward position within the bolt. SKS firing pins that are stuck in the forward position have been known to cause accidental “slamfires” (uncontrolled automatic fire that empties the magazine, starting when the bolt is released). This behavior is less likely with the hard primer military-spec ammo for which the SKS was designed, but as with any rifle users should properly maintain their firearms. For collectors, slamfires are more likely when the bolt still has remnants of Cosmoline embedded in it. The firing pin is triangular in cross section, and slamfires can also result if the firing pin is inserted upside down.
Almost as soon as the SKS was brought into service, it was made obsolete for Soviet purposes by the new AK-47. However, it found a long second life in the service of the Chinese army, who found it well suited to their own style of warfare, the “People’s War” whose main actors were highly mobile, self-reliant guerrilla bands and rural militias protecting their own villages. In People’s War the emphasis was on long-range sniping, spoiling attacks, and ambushes, and for this the Chinese army preferred its version of the SKS (the Type 56 carbine) to the AK pattern.
Many surplus SKS rifles were disposed of in the 1990s, and photographs and stories exist of SKS rifles used by guerrilla fighters in Bosnia, Somalia and throughout Africa and Southeast Asia during the 1990s and well into the 21st century. Several African, Asian, and Middle Eastern armies still use the SKS
Nations that utilized the SKS but did not receive manufacturing rights included Afghanistan, Congo, Indonesia, Iraq, Laos, Lebanon, Mongolia, Morocco, the United Arab Republic (Egypt), and the People’s Democratic Republic of Yemen.
The SKS is popular on the civilian surplus market, especially in Canada and the United States. Because of their historic and novel nature, Soviet and European SKS carbines are classified by the BATF as “Curio & Relic” items under U.S. law, allowing them to be sold with features that might otherwise be restricted. Chinese manufactured rifles, even the rare early “Sino-Soviet” examples, are not so classified, though the “Sino-Soviet” rifles qualify for automatic Curio & Relic status due to being manufactured over 50 years ago. Because of the massive size of the Chinese People’s Liberation Army, over 8 million Chinese SKS rifles were manufactured during their 20 years of use making the Chinese SKS one of the most mass-produced military rifles of all time although still far behind its successor the AK-47.
In Canada, the large flux of imported SKS rifles has driven prices down to around $200–$300 per Russian SKS. The Chinese Norinco SKS can be bought for slightly less. As with most military surplus rifles, they are coated in cosmoline for the preservation of the firearm while under storage for decades at a time. Along with a large supply of bulk 7.62 x 39 surplus ammunition, SKS rifles have become a popular firearm for civilian ownership.
In Australia, the Chinese SKS rifle (along with the Soviet SKS rifle) was very popular with recreational hunters and target shooters during the 1980s and early 1990s before semi-automatic rifles were restricted from legal ownership in 1996. Since the introduction of the 1996 gun restrictions in Australia, the Mosin-Nagant series of bolt-action rifles and carbines have now filled the void created when the SKS was restricted from legal ownership.
In the early 1990s, the Chinese SKS rapidly became the “poor man’s deer rifle” in some Southern areas of the United States due to its low price, lower even than such old favorites in that role as the Marlin 336. Importation of the Chinese SKS into the U.S.A. was banned in 1994.
The carbine’s integral 10-round magazine is not an issue in those states and nations which prohibit higher-capacity magazines, except Canada, and New Zealand. In the case for Canada, the SKS is classified as a non-restricted firearm and the magazine must be pinned to five rounds or the rifles must be retrofitted with five-shot magazines, while New Zealand’s arm code states that an A class center fire, self-loading rifle must have no more than seven rounds in the magazine (this only applies to guns on an a-cat licence, those on an e-cat have no magazine limit). Where higher capacity magazines are legally permitted, there are a number of secondary market vendors that sell higher capacity magazines of up to 30 rounds (or more). These secondary market magazines may be installed by first removing the fixed OEM magazine (a process that involves the removal of the trigger group assembly with a pin punch, screwdriver, bullet-tip, or similar device). However, although the 7.62x39mm round is generally compared to the American Winchester .30-30, many states have laws against hunting rifles with magazines of more than five rounds. Magazine plugs limiting the magazine to five rounds must be used for hunting in these states. | weapons_science |

The arquebus (arcabuz) used at the time was a smoothbore matchlock weapon, about 4.75 feet long, that weighed about 10-12 lbs. It fired a lead ball weighing two-thirds of an ounce. Maria's sword was likely a double-edged espada with a straight blade suitable for both cutting and thrusting, with a complex hilt to protect the hand. Being a soldier's woman during a time when the Spanish Empire was at its height, she evidently lived her daily life immersed in the martial culture of the time, which stressed skill with both firearms and edged weapons.

Ideals such as integrity, commitment and personal responsibility are what founding fathers relied on to win our independence and to then make America a great nation.
“At Project Appleseed, we are dedicated to keeping these timeless values alive,” their announcement reads. “Project Appleseed is a fast-growing, 501(c) (3) non-profit educational community of dedicated volunteers. We promote civic responsibility through the teaching of colonial history and the American traditions of rifle marksmanship. Even after all of these years, there is much to be learned from our forefathers’ examples of perseverance, commitment and civic virtue. With a full calendar of shooting clinics and events Project Appleseed is here to make sure these timeless principles live on for generations to come.”
The cost for this two day clinic is $75 for adults and $30 for youth under 18. There are also discounts for law enforcement, active and retired military and guard and more.
The Project Appleseed rifle marksmanship clinic will be held on Sept. 24-25 at Arnold Air Force Base, at Rifle Range Road, Manchester, TN 37355.
From Tullahoma, at the light on highway 55 as you are leaving Tullahoma, turn right on the AEDC Access Road which becomes Wattendorf Memorial Highway once on base, drive about 2-3 miles, watch for the rifle range signs and turn left on Rifle Range Road. Cross a railroad track and a few hundred yards later turn right at the range entrance.
Registration begins at 8 a.m. The clinic starts at 8:30 a.m. and will continue until 5 p.m.
Participants are taught fundamental rifle marksmanship skills that are to allow a rifleman to be accurate out to 400 yards, with iron sights or a scope, a standard rifle and surplus ammo. Most of the instruction at a Project Appleseed event is conducted on the firing range at 25 yards, at reduced size targets to simulate 100 to 400 yards. Students will learn rifle shooting from the standing, sitting, kneeling, and prone positions, sight alignment, and breath control, along with safe gun handling, proper use of a sling, and Revolutionary War history.
Please bring your own ear/eye protection, a rifle with sling, ammunition, rifle mat, bug repellent, hat, sunscreen, a packed lunch, snacks, drinks, and plenty of water to stay hydrated. Both centerfire and rim fire rifles are allowed. About 500 rounds of ammunition is needed. | weapons_science |

The first two NASAMS delivered to Kyiv are now in use, but the number of launchers included in each of them is unclear.
This weapon generally falls into what militaries call a medium-range air defense system, able to hit targets at greater distances than weapons like the shoulder-fired Stinger missile the Pentagon has provided Ukraine, but with less range than larger and more expensive ones like the Patriot missile system.
So while NASAMS can shoot down drones, helicopters, jets and cruise missiles, it is not considered effective against ballistic missiles of the type Russia is reportedly trying to purchase from Iran.
“It’s an advanced system, more modern than what Ukraine has now,” said Ian Williams, the deputy director of the Missile Defense Project at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, a think tank based in Washington.
“It will allow them to defend larger sites, places like critical infrastructure, and the batteries — the launchers themselves — can be spread out over quite a big area,” he said. “A single battery can’t defend everywhere, but it will allow them to beef up defenses at certain critical sites that need protection,” including around electrical infrastructure.
The launcher is capable of firing four different American-made missiles, Mr. Williams said, including the heat-seeking AIM-9X Sidewinder and the AIM-120 Advanced Medium Range Air-to-Air Missile, which has a radar that can home in on airborne threats about 30 miles away. Additionally, it can identify targets approaching from any direction, Mr. Williams said.
These missiles are among the most commonly purchased by the air forces of the United States, NATO countries and other partners, with tens of thousands of each in circulation. | weapons_science |

F-35 Lightning II is the only international fifth-generation multirole fighter plane in the world. The extreme agility and stealth features, along with an integrated sensor package and modern weaponry, provide the F-35 with a tactical edge over all other fighter aircraft.
The single-seat fighter is armed with a range of weapon systems such as Sidewinder and Storm Shadow, as well as Joint Direct Attack Munitions (JDAMs).
Lockheed Martin is the prime contractor of the F-35 while its major partners include Northrop Grumman, BAE Systems and Pratt & Whitney.
The F-35 completed its maiden flight in December 2006. The three F-35 variants, including the conventional take-off and landing (CTOL), short take-off / vertical landing (STOVL) and carrier variant (CV), will replace the A-10 and F-16 of the US Air Force, the F/A-18 of the US Navy, the F/A-18 and AV-8B Harrier of the US Marine Corps and various fighters of other allied nations.
Lockheed Martin / Boeing F-22 Raptor
The F-22 Raptor developed by Lockheed Martin and Boeing is a single-seat, twin-engine fifth-generation extremely advanced tactical fighter. The stealth, integrated avionics and superior performance make the F-22 a super-manoeuvrable fighter.
Inducted by the US Air Force (USAF) as an air-superiority fighter, the F-22 evolved into multi-mission fighter aircraft.
The Raptor made its first flight in September 1997. The first production F-22 was delivered to Nellis Air Force Base in January 2003. The aircraft formally entered USAF’s service in December 2005.
The F-22 Raptor employs sophisticated air-to-air and air-to-ground missiles. The emerging technologies integrated aboard the F-22 make it a superior platform for a wide array of missions, including surveillance, reconnaissance, attack, electronic warfare and signals intelligence.
Chengdu J-20 is a fifth-generation, single-seat, twin-engine stealth fighter jet manufactured by Chengdu Aircraft Industry Group (CAIG) to perform aerial combat operations for the People’s Liberation Army Air Force (PLAAF).
The aircraft has eight hardpoints and an internal weapons bay that can hold a mix of beyond-visual-range air-to-air and short-range missiles, including long-range PL-12C/D and PL-21 air-to-air missiles. It is also armed with air-to-surface missiles, laser-guided bombs and anti-radiation missiles.
The J-20 features blended fuselage, canard delta configuration, low jet engine intakes, and an advanced fly-by-wire (FBW) system.
The aircraft made its first flight in January 2011 and was officially unveiled in 2016. It entered the PLAAF’s service as an air-superiority fighter in March 2017.
The Su-57 is a fifth-generation, single-seat, twin-engine, multi-role fighter aircraft manufactured by Sukhoi, a subsidiary of United Aircraft Corporation. It was formerly known as PAK FA and T-50.
The aircraft is designed to perform air superiority and attack missions primarily of the Russian Air Force and the Russian Navy. It can defend all types of ground, air and surface targets of the enemy and monitor the airspace at longer ranges.
With a combat weight of 10t, the aircraft can carry short-range air-to-air missiles, air-to-surface missiles such as X-31, X-35, X-38, X-58, X-59, short and medium-range guided and unguided weapons, and aerial bombs in 250kg, 500kg, and 1,500kg classes.
The aircraft made its first flight in January 2010 and is currently in the final flight testing phase. It is expected to be introduced by the Russian Air Force in 2019, replacing the existing fleet of Su-27 fourth-generation fighter.
Eurofighter Typhoon is a new generation multirole fighter aircraft that is presently one of the best in the world. It is a foreplane/delta wing aircraft integrating modern avionics and sensors, Defensive Aids Sub System (DASS) and distinct weapons, such as Mauser BK-27 27mm cannon, air-to-air, air-to-surface and anti-ship missiles and precision-guided munitions.
Eurofighter Typhoon’s development is Europe’s largest multinational military collaborative effort managed by the Nato Eurofighter and Tornado Management Agency (NETMA), which is also the prime customer.
The programme delivers cutting-edge technologies for the European defence industry.
Eurofighter Typhoon made its combat début in 2011 for reconnaissance and ground strike missions in Libya by the Royal Air Force (RAF) and the Italian Air Force.
Sukhoi Su-35 is a heavily-modified version of the Su-27 fighter. The Su-35 is a 4++ generation aircraft employing technologies of the fifth-generation. The latest technologies make it superior to all other fourth-generation fighters now under development anywhere in the world.
The first Su-35 prototype was built at Komsomolsk-na-Amure Aviation Production Association in 2007. The maiden flight of Su-35 was concluded in February 2008.
The Su-35 is capable of deploying long and short-range air-to-air missiles, and precision and unguided air-to-ground munitions such as missiles, bombs and rockets. The 14 hardpoints of the aircraft can carry a maximum weapon payload of 8t.
Boeing F/A-18E/F Super Hornet
F/A-18E/F Super Hornet is a combat-proven strike fighter offering next-generation multirole strike fighter capabilities. It is a larger and improved redesign of the F/A-18C/D Hornet. The Super Hornet is in service with the US Navy and the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF).
The US Navy inducted the aircraft into service in 1999 for replacing its Grumman F-14 Tomcat. The F/A-18F Super Hornet (two-seat version) entered service with the RAAF in 2010.
Combat capabilities of the fighter jet were proved during Operation Iraqi Freedom, Operation Enduring Freedom, Operation Southern Watch and War in Afghanistan.
The Super Hornet’s suite of integrated and networked systems provides enhanced interoperability and total force support for the combatant commander and for troops on the ground. The 11 weapon stations on the aircraft can hold a mix of air-to-air and air-to-ground ordnance, as well as a variety of smart weapons, including laser-guided bombs.
Described as an ‘omnirole’ fighter by its manufacturer Dassault Aviation, Rafale is a twin-engine, multirole fighter aircraft that is capable of performing air sovereignty, deep strike, reconnaissance and airborne nuclear deterrent duties.
The multirole fighter is operated by the French Air Force and Navy. This aircraft features the latest avionics and smart sensor systems.
It can carry a 30mm cannon, air-to-air and air-to-surface missiles, nuclear and anti-ship missiles, as well as a range of laser-guided bombs and ground-attack munitions.
The maiden combat deployment of the Rafale fighter was in 2002 during the Operation Enduring Freedom. The aircraft has been used in a number of combat missions in Afghanistan, Libya and Mali (Operation Serval).
The aircraft is available in three variants, namely RAFALE C single-seat, RAFALE M carrier-based single-seat and RAFALE B twin-seat version.
Boeing F-15E Strike Eagle
The F-15E Strike Eagle is a superior next-generation multirole strike fighter. Developed as a derivative of earlier F-15A/D aircraft, the F-15E is the backbone of the US Air Force (USAF) today.
The F-15E can carry up to 23,000lb of payload, including the Joint Direct Attack Munition (JDAM), AGM-130 Standoff Weapon System, the AIM-120 Advanced Medium Range Air-to-Air Missile (AMRAAM), AIM-9X Sidewinder and a variety of bombs. It can fly at more than twice the speed of sound.
The state-of-the-art avionics systems provide the Strike Eagle with the ability to conduct air-to-air and air-to-surface missions in all weather conditions during the day or night.
The F-15Es were extensively deployed by the USAF in Operations Desert Shield and Desert Storm as well as Operations Southern Watch and Northern Watch. Other notable combat deployments include Operation Deny Flight, Operation Enduring Freedom, Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Odyssey Dawn. | weapons_science |
https://www.patriotproject.com/dod-rep-amazed-after-firing-single-round-with-new-weapon-sight-moves-to-get-it-for-us-soldiers/ | 2022-01-18T21:42:07 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320301063.81/warc/CC-MAIN-20220118213028-20220119003028-00681.warc.gz | 0.951869 | 582 | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | webtext-fineweb__CC-MAIN-2022-05__0__169247262 | en | A new weapon sight soon could make its way to the U.S. armed forces, and a Department of Defense representative’s reaction to the technology means it could be a game-changer for troops.
The official was introduced to the sight during SHOT Show, a firearms convention in January that lured industry innovators, enthusiasts and government officials from around the world.
The convention, held in Las Vegas, reportedly is where the DOD representative first met with Matbock, the Virginia Beach company behind the design.
According to The Virginian-Pilot, Matbock founders Sean Matson and Zach Steinbock were working at the convention when they met a program manager from the Department of Defense’s Unified Combatant Command.
The two founders, both former Navy SEALs, had a unique weapon sight that had been in development for years.
The Acquire Read Deploy Sight, as the weapon upgrade is known, is designed to fit modern grenade launchers such as the MK19 or M320.
When it is fed information about the weapons system and ammunition, the sight will display the angle and distance the round will travel. For the traditionally difficult-to-aim-precisely explosive rounds, the ARD Sight offers users a better alternative to analog leaf sights.
While at the range, the DOD representative was impressed with the gear’s performance, according to The Virginian-Pilot.
After entering information into the sight, the representative fired a single shot at a faraway target.
“Sure enough, that round hit dead center of the tank target,” Matson, Matbock’s CEO, told the newspaper. “Basically, [he] immediately handed … back the gun and said, ‘Yep. Be expecting an order from us.'”
Take a look at the Acquire Read Deploy Sight, seen in a Matbock Facebook post, below.
Matbock has been awarded a whopping $757,180 contract by the Department of Defense for the sight, according to The Virginian-Pilot.
Weapons that fire 40 mm grenades, which it appears this sight will be fitted to, already give troops an edge in combat.
The explosives let soldiers put punishing fire on a target and allow them to keep up the pressure even if the enemy is behind cover. This is especially true of the MK19, a belt-fed automatic grenade launcher.
Matson told The Virginian-Pilot that the sight’s performance also impressed law enforcement officials, who could use the upgrade on tear-gas launchers and other less-than-lethal systems.

Donald Trump really, really hates the Iran nuclear deal and wants to pull the US out of it. And it’s now starting to look like he might actually try to do it.
Last month, the president — after a long, drawn-out battle with his top national security officials — reluctantly agreed to certify the deal for the next three months. But according to a recent report in Foreign Policy, the president has assembled a special team of White House aides whose sole task is to figure out a way to claim that Iran is violating the deal. That way he can say it was Iran’s fault the deal fell apart, not his.
There’s just one problem: Experts, including the International Atomic Energy (IAEA) — the nuclear watchdog agency in charge of verifying Iran’s compliance with its obligations under the deal — says that Iran is in compliance.
To get around that pesky detail, Trump and his team will probably try to make the case that Iran is violating the “spirit” of the deal, if not the letter. And they’ll most likely point to Iran’s ballistic missile tests as evidence of this, as well as other provocative behavior such as launching a space rocket.
But while those actions are all troublesome, experts say that none of them violate the nuclear deal — even in spirit.
“The truth to what Trump is saying is that Iran is doing a lot of bad things that are against the interests of the United States and our partners and allies,” says Jon Finer, who was the chief of staff and policy planning director for former secretary of state John Kerry. “How that connects to the nuclear deal is where his logic falls apart.”
In fact, some experts believe if anyone isn’t abiding by the deal’s spirit, it’s Trump.
The nuclear deal is about just one thing: Iran’s nuclear program
It’s worth taking a brief pause to go over what the Iran deal, formally called the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), actually involved — and what it didn’t.
Under the deal, a group of countries — the United States, the United Kingdom, France, Russia, China, Germany, and the European Union — agreed to lift crippling sanctions imposed on Iran’s nuclear program, giving it greater access to the global economy.
In return, Iran agreed to take concrete steps to curb its nuclear program, limiting it to strictly peaceful applications, and to allow intrusive inspections of key nuclear facilities by the International Atomic Energy Agency to ensure compliance.
That’s it. There was nothing in the deal that said Iran would agree not to test ballistic missiles, or to stop sponsoring terrorist groups like Hezbollah and Hamas, or to improve its human rights record at home.
And that’s no accident. “By design, the JCPOA is focused on one issue only: Iran’s nuclear program,” explains Suzanne DiMaggio, an Iran expert at the New America think tank. You see, it’s not that the Obama administration and the other countries involved wouldn’t have loved to get a deal that included all those other things. It’s just that Iran flat-out refused to budge on any of that stuff.
The only thing they were willing to negotiate on was their nuclear program. That’s it. Because the Obama administration felt that Iran’s nuclear program was the biggest, most pressing threat, they agreed to leave all that other stuff out and focus the deal exclusively on the nuclear program.
But, by that same token, the agreement doesn’t preclude the US or any other country from punishing Iran for its non-nuclear activities. That’s why the US was able to impose sanctions after Iran carried out missile tests on July 18.
“You could say it’s a terrible deal because it doesn’t cover Hezbollah, and Syria, and Yemen, and missiles, and human rights,” says Ernest Moniz, Obama’s energy secretary and top Iran deal negotiator. “That’s not what the agreement is.

Two Mistral-class warships equipped with Russian Ka-52K naval attack helicopters can enhance Egypt’s naval capabilities with what is essentially a “light” carrier battle group, says freelance writer on geopolitics and military events Kevin Brent.
French President Francois Hollande announced on September 23, 2015 that Egypt had agreed to buy two Mistral-class amphibious assault warships. Formerly known as the Sevastopol and Vladivostok, the vessels were originally built for Russia. That deal was eventually canceled, following the occupation and annexation of Crimea in early 2014. Financed in part by Saudi Arabia, Egypt will pay approximately US$1 billion total for the vessels.
Displacing 21,000 tons fully loaded, the Mistrals are troop-carrying assault ships resembling a small aircraft carrier and similar to, although much smaller than the U.S. Navy LHA and LHD type warships.
Each Mistral can carry 16 helicopters, four landing craft and 13 main battle tanks in addition to 450 troops (up to 900 troops or 40 tanks in a contingency operation) and is equipped with a 69-bed hospital. The French navy operates three Mistral class vessels of its own.
Immediately after the French-Egyptian deal, Russia agreed to sell 50 Ka-52 Alligator attack helicopters (NATO reporting name Hokum B) to Egypt to equip the air wings of the Mistrals. Specifically mentioned was the two seater Ka-52K; the navalized version of the single seat Ka-52. It is developed for naval surface warfare strikes against other warships, and equipped with folding rotors and reinforced landing gear.
Russia is the only naval power to have redeveloped a land attack helicopter with naval surface warfare in mind, that can be operated from aircraft-carrying vessels in squadron sized units.
The Ka-52 entered Russian service in 1995. It was designed in the 1980s specifically as a “tank-killer” for land warfare, with the additional capability of engaging opposing forces’ helicopters with air-to-air missiles.
The Ka-52K carries two Kh-35 (NATO reporting name AS-20 Kayak) jet powered anti-ship missiles (ASM) as its primary weapons. This missile is sometimes referred to as the ‘Harpoonski’ due to its similar appearance and function to the U.S. Navy Harpoon ASM.
While there is little doubt Egypt eyed the Mistrals’ amphibious warfare capabilities, equipping them with the Ka-52K signifies its intent to deploy the Mistrals as platforms for naval surface warfare as well.
In the amphibious assault role, the Mistrals will provide Egypt with an option to execute light intervention in neighboring hot spots, perhaps cooperating with Arab allies in ventures to curb the expansion of Iranian proxy forces in the region, including Yemen.
The Mistral’s onboard command suites for radio and tactical communications can be used to headquarter a land, air or sea combat operation just offshore. This could be particularly useful in the ongoing Egyptian anti-terrorism operations in the Sinai, against radical forces in neighboring Libya, or elsewhere in the region.
However, equipped with Ka-52K naval attack helicopters, Egypt would also have the option to use one or both Mistrals in surface sea control operations. These are vital in protecting the Mediterranean and Red Sea entrances to the Suez Canal from a naval surface threat.
Such a threat would most likely come from the Red Sea, perhaps by Iranian warships, or from commercial vessels that have been hijacked and adapted for raiding commercial ships sailing to and from the Suez Canal.
The Mistrals would allow Egypt to carry out airborne sea surveillance and naval strikes in a way similar to large modern aircraft carriers equipped with fixed-wing fighter jets.
Egypt would not be able to oppose a modern carrier battle group on remotely even terms. However, Egypt has no other regional adversary that possesses anything resembling a Mistral, much less two, equipped with naval attack helicopters.
That said, Washington and Brussels must understand why the Kremlin is so eager to beef up its long-lost Mistrals for Egypt: It wants to further drive a wedge between Cairo and the West. Egypt resents the U.S.’s support of, and the European Union’s indifference to, the now deposed Muslim Brotherhood, which very nearly made Egypt a vassal state of Iran.
As a transit route for European global commerce and U.S. and NATO warships to the Indian Ocean and Persian Gulf, the Suez Canal is a vital artery that Russian President Vladimir Putin would relish having the power to sever. | weapons_science |

It is in use by Armed Forces and Police units, as well as many large government and corporate offices, in many countries worldwide.
The Bomb Blanket & Safety Circle has been designed for use by both unskilled personnel as well as by skilled Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) operators when confronted with a suspect explosive device in a public area.
The Safety Circle is placed around the suspect bomb and then the Bomb Blanket, which has four heavy-duty webbing carrying handles, is carefully placed over the Safety Circle surrounding the bomb. This eliminates any direct contact with the bomb and provides a safe environment for its examination and disposal.
Should the bomb explode, the Safety Circle can help to direct the force of the bomb’s explosion upwards, then the Bomb Blanket flexes and contains most of the bomb fragments. Two or more Safety Circles can be used together to contain larger bomb devices.
It can also be used to place over a blast container/bomb bin to mitigate the upward energy of an explosion and contain the bomb fragments.
The lightweight, highly protective equipment is made of multiple-layer ballistic material and folds up into a compact, easily carried bag. | weapons_science |

The program was proposed during the Tuesday night City Council meeting.
Police Chief Jim Lester said the police department currently owns a single patrol rifle in each patrol vehicle. Each of the rifles are 12 to 16 years old.
“Much like an officer’s duty gear, computers, and department policies, newer, more refined, and modernized patrol rifle options are available and being utilized by other police departments,” Lester said in a memo.
The Patrol Rifle Purchase Program will pay for the rifles, and the officers will slowly pay the money back.
The city will purchase 10 rifles, seven to be officer-owned and three to be department-owned. The officers will pay the city back through automatic payroll deduction.
Lester said the total cost of the program is estimated at $17,879 with officers paying $14,524 over two years, resulting in a cost of the city of $3,355.
It will allow officers to purchase new patrol rifle and have them personalized to their preference, Lester said.
“For instance, a left-handed shooter will no longer be handicapped by trying to use a rifle set up for right-handed shooter,” he said.
Lester said many other departments use similar programs by providing interest free loans for the purchase of patrol rifles and accessories for city business.
The specific rifles and accessories have been selected by Sgt. Jason Chalupa, department firearms instructor and SWAT team leader, and Lt. Benjamin Altenhofen, department rifle armorer and assistant SWAT team leader.
Each rifle will have a sling fitted for the officer, a grip and light placed in a comfortable position and a scope or sight, Lester said.
Because the rifles will be owned by the officers, council member Danielle Pettit-Majewski asked where the guns will be stored.
With the new building, Lester said there is an armory to keep the weapons secure and safe from environment damage such as extreme cold or extreme warmth.
The program was approved unanimously. | weapons_science |

This site, steeped in historical significance, was once referred to as Torpedowaffenplatz Hexengrund by the German military during World War II. It served as a pivotal hub for both the Kriegsmarine and the Luftwaffe, playing a vital role in the development and testing of torpedoes. Today, this decaying relic teeters on the brink of collapse, perched precariously above the azure waters below.
The onset of World War II in September 1939, marked by the German invasion of Poland, prompted an urgent need for self-reliance in torpedo technology. Prior to this, the German military had been reliant on torpedo imports from countries such as Italy and Japan. To address this vulnerability, the decision was made to establish a torpedo testing facility in the Bay of Puck, a western branch of the Bay of Gdańsk within the southern Baltic Sea.
Two distinct testing platforms were erected in close proximity to each other. The more renowned of the two was Torpedowaffenplatz Hexengrund, known as “Torpedownia” to the Polish. The second facility, known as Torpedo Versuchsanstalt Oxhôlt, was colloquially referred to as “Formoza” and was located just 4-5 kilometers away. These facilities operated independently, sharing the utilization of a training ground and connected by a railway that snaked along the beach.
Formoza served the Kriegsmarine’s torpedo testing needs, while Torpedownia was predominantly employed by the Luftwaffe. The latter boasted an impressive array of facilities, including a torpedo assembly hall, an observation and fire control tower, and two torpedo shafts from which torpedoes were launched for rigorous testing. A pier spanned the distance between the platform and the mainland, facilitating logistical operations.
Torpedownia played a pivotal role in the development and testing of aerial torpedoes, which were designed to be dropped from aircraft such as Junkers Ju 52, Heinkel He 111, and Focke-Wulf Fw 190. The German F5b model, in service from the latter part of 1941 until the war’s conclusion, utilized a wooden K3 tail for trajectory control during flight. These torpedoes could also be launched from E-boats, the nimble attack craft of the Kriegsmarine.
The assembly of these torpedoes involved transporting parts from the mainland to the facility via train. During the testing phase, these torpedoes were launched without live explosives, falling harmlessly into a net strategically placed between Torpedownia and Formoza.
As the Red Army swiftly advanced towards the region in March-April 1945, German forces evacuated Torpedownia and Formoza, leaving these facilities under Soviet control. The Soviets disassembled the technical equipment within the facilities, relocating them to the USSR. Regrettably, it appears that these components were never reassembled or used, marking the end of their operational life.
During their occupation of Torpedownia and Formoza, Soviet forces conducted military dive training and research activities. To deter unwanted visitors from crossing the bay to Torpedownia, the wooden pier was explosively demolished, with the remainder of its structure obliterated in the 1990s. Today, only the foundation of the pier stands as a testament to its former existence.
In contemporary times, Formoza sees recurrent use by the Polish military for specialized diver training, with the military’s special forces divers named after the defunct German facility (officially known as Jednostka Wojskowa Formoza). The headquarters of these elite units can be found in Gdynia.
Conversely, Torpedownia has largely been left to the ravages of time. Although it remains standing and is accessible to swimmers and boaters, it teeters on the edge of collapse. Visitors are advised to exercise caution when exploring this dilapidated platform, as it stands as a haunting relic of a tumultuous past, echoing the once-secretive world of torpedo testing during World War II. | weapons_science |

We’ve heard it all when it comes to guns. Some people love guns. Some people hate guns. Some believe gun control means eliminating guns all together. Some believe gun control means using both hands when firing them. The good news—for this post it doesn’t matter what your personal feeling about guns are—this is just a simple review of some gun ownership and transfer requirements. After all, you may hate guns, but a gun lover may leave them to you at their death.
So, let’s keep this simple—and here’s a generalized blanket statement: most firearms (single shot or semi-automatic shotguns, rifles, and handguns--those not governed by the National Firearms Act) don’t require any elevated requirements to purchase or transfer the firearms (you just have to pass the background check and fill out the application correctly). This is similar to the “Responsible Person” requirement discussed below. So, gun lover walks into store, picks out gun, fills out application correctly, passes background check, purchases gun, and takes it home. Transferring these at death doesn’t provide any issues, unless they are transferred to someone who wouldn’t have been approved to buy one in the first place. However, issues arise when those “other” firearms are involved.
The National Firearms Act governs these “other” types of firearms, which is policed by the ATF; and these “other” types (referred to as NFA Title II Firearms) are:
(1) a shotgun having a barrel or barrels of less than 18 inches in length; or a weapon made from a shotgun if such weapon as modified has an overall length of less than 26 inches or a barrel or barrels of less than 18 inches in length (think sawed-off shotgun);
(2) a rifle having a barrel or barrels of less than 16 inches in length; or a weapon made from a rifle if such weapon as modified has an overall length of less than 26 inches or a barrel or barrels of less than 16 inches in length (think sawed-off rifle);
(3) any other weapon (think strange weapons; like pen guns, umbrella guns, etc.)
(4) a machinegun (think fully automatic guns);
(5) any silencer (Bond, James Bond…); and
(6) a destructive device (grenades, missiles, bombs, etc.).
To purchase one of these, you must go through a background check and be a “Responsible Person” as described by the ATF and outlined in their form which I’ve linked: https://www.atf.gov/firearms/docs/form/national-firearms-act-nfa-responsible-person-questionnaire-532023/download . If you’re a Responsible Person, at the time of purchase you pay an additional $200 transfer tax (unless the weapon falls into the “All Other Weapons” classification). And yes, the ATF keeps records of these firearms you acquire.
Remember, I mentioned “loopholes” in the title. Some folks have created gun trusts to own NFA Title II firearms. A trust is not a person. Therefore, a person could purchase one of these firearms and avoid the background check! The other reason gun trusts are created is to allow trust ownership of the firearm; thus avoiding any additional transfer taxes down the road as long as the gun stay in the trust and is used by those identified in the trust. That all changed last summer by the passage of law that now states a trust falls within the definition of person. Now the trust’s grantor, and those listed as trustees, must all be Responsible Persons and pass the background check. The end beneficiary must be as well. Otherwise, being in possession of one of these could lead to felony conviction!
So, you hate guns, but one of these fancy “other” NFA Title II firearms is supposed to go to you at someone’s death, or you are now the one appointed to carry out the distribution of the estate. What do you do? Leave the firearm locked away (don’t take it with you) and talk to me, or someone at the local gun shop. We can help you navigate the transfer quagmire and all the forms that come with it. Thankfully, the new rule removes additional transfer taxes if the firearm passes to an estate and you are the personal representative (much like a gun trust). The challenge is, keeping the ATF informed of all of your actions and staying on top of those forms!
As for a good laugh—the cartoon gave me a good laugh when I first saw the episode years ago. I also think that old loophole presented a form of comedy as well!
I hope you could ‘bear’ reading this!

The production of the M ended inwhen a last batch was delivered to the Egyptian Army.Turkish Army MLRS-Ballistic Missile Power ( the best in Europe )
In the early s, the Soviet Union had a clear advantage over U. Soviet tactics of bombardment by large numbers of truck-mounted MRLs, such as the BMwould saturate a target area with thousands of rockets, ensuring some would hit specific targets while delivering a psychological impact.
By contrast, U. This combined with the realization that such an experience would happen on a larger scale in the event of war in Europe, in March the U. It would be used to engage enemy air defenses and for counterbattery firefreeing cannon units to provide close support for ground forces.
Development began in September by Boeing and Vought Aerospace, and first production models were delivered in August The first operational M battery was formed in Marchand the first unit was sent to West Germany that September.Nextion waveform command
Originally, a battery consisted of three platoons with three launchers each for nine launchers per battery; by25 MLRS batteries were in service. In the s, a battery was reduced to six launchers. The M is a derivative of the Bradley Fighting Vehicle chassis. Cold War doctrine for the M was for the vehicles to spread out individually and hide until needed, then move to a firing position and launch their rockets, immediately move away to a reloading point, then move to a completely new hiding position near a different firing point.
These shoot-and-scoot tactics were planned to avoid susceptibility to Soviet counterbattery fire. One M firing 12 M26 rockets would drop 7, bomblets, and one MLRS battery firing rockets had the equivalent firepower of 33 battalions of cannon artillery. The LLM can hold two pods at a time, which are hand-loaded using an integrated winch system. One launcher firing twelve rockets can completely blanket one square kilometer with submunitions.
With each rocket containing M77 grenades, the entire salvo would drop 23, grenades in the target area. However, with a two percent dud rate, that would leave approximately undetonated bombs scattered over the area, which could endanger friendly troops and civilians.

The Army Is Getting a New Long-Range Tactical Missile

InConcept Definition Study contracts were let to several companies, and inVought and Boeing were selected for competitive development. MLRS reached initial operational capability with the U. Army in Existing M units will be converted to MA1 standard. The M77 submunitions are dispensed over the target in mid-air, are drag-ribbon stabilized during free fall, and detonate on impact.
This improves the range to more than 45 km 28 miles. However, the development of the XM85 progressed slower than expected, and therefore the initial ER-MLRS rockets first production contract was awarded in July were armed with M77 bomblets. Army were built as M26A1. The M28 is a training version of the M26, which replaces the warhead with steel ballast and three smoke canisters.
This reduces the rocket's maximum range to 15 km 9 milesmaking it suitable for use on smaller firing ranges. The XM contained two non-lethal agents, which were mixed after launch to form the deadly VX nerve agent. Inthe U. To make full use of the much improved accuracy of the weapon over long distances, only M85 DPICM bomblets are carried for a range of more than 60 km 37 miles. The first fully guided test launch of an XM30 occurred in May The XM31 is a variant of the M30 with a 90 kg lb unitary high-explosive warhead, which is currently in the SDD phase.

Figures given below may therefore be inaccurate! Pretty ed.The U. Army has begun flight tests of a new variant of its mm guided artillery rocket that could eventually hit targets out to a maximum range of more than 85 miles. During this experiment, the rocket hit a target around 70 miles away, but the goal is to extend that range by at least another 15 miles.
As its name would imply, the improved rocket design has its flight control surfaces in the tail. GMLRS, which has a maximum range of around 43 miles, first entered production in The Army, along with the Marines, who also employ the weapon, has since been working on a joint project to extend its range.What is work immersion introduction
With the fins on the tail, the new version of the rocket can be much more aerodynamic, helping it to fly further. The weapon does require a new guidance package to account for the change in position of the control fins. In the future, the Army could potentially consider adding in a laser-guidance packageespecially since there is now free space in the nose. This could allow troops on the ground, as well as manned or unmanned aircraft, to cue the weapons to engage moving targets, but could again impact its overall range.
So far, it appears that the design with the tail-mounted control surfaces is just as accurate as the existing type.
In the March flight test, the prototype TC-GMLRS rocket, which did not have a live warhead in it at the time, plowed almost straight down into the ground within two meters of the designated target. The added range significantly expands the total target area that both systems can cover, making them more flexible, even in smaller numbers, and able to rapidly refocus from providing fire support in one area to another without necessarily having to relocate.
The Army, as well as the Marines, trains to rapidly deploy these truck-mounted launchers via U. Air Force cargo planes and quickly get them into action to support distributed and expeditionary operations.
The added range would only expand the number of potential locations where aircraft could drop the vehicles off. It could also reduce the total time it might take to get the launchers into position, which could be particularly important for engaging time-sensitive or otherwise fleeing targets before they can relocate.
This highlighted the value of the existing system as a way to rapidly respond to actionable intelligence, as well as requests for fire support from troops. TC-GMLRS could give the Army and Marines a better tool to strike deeper into hostile territory to rain death and destruction down on enemy forces well behind the front lines, especially at forward bases and other assembly areas. The extra range also means American artillery units can provide fire support with less of a threat of immediate counterattack from hostile forces.
The Army says this latter point was a particularly important factor in the development of the longer-range mm rocket. The service says it has identified nearly 70 foreign rocket artillery systems — including those in the hands of non-state actors — that have a range that is the same or greater than that of GMLRS. Potential opponents, such as Russia and China, are also developing guidance kits for these systems that could make them even more effective.
Russian rocket artillery has been a major factor in keeping Ukrainian forces from retaking positions from separatists and could help them control constrained environments in the Baltic Sea and Black Sea regions during any future crisis.
China could use these weapons, combined with its longer-range anti-ship cruise missiles and air defense systems, to further dominate areas it controls in the Pacific, especially in the South China Sea.
Smaller nation-states and non-state groups, such as Iranian-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen and the Lebanese terrorist group Hezbollahincreasingly have access to powerful rocket artillery systems. Army General Robert Brown, head of U. Army Pacific Command, declared at panel discussion at the Association of the U.406 sbc total timing

The track version is as stable as a rock while the wheel version tends to rock and roll. The track has a suspnesion lock-out.
This is a hydrolic system that is pumped up and thus stiffens up the suspension. With that in mind, on the MLRS you shoot a fire missions with a time of 5 seconds between rounds. This allows you to shoot 12 rockets in a minute.

Army has awarded Raytheon a contract to continue developing a new long range tactical missile system.
Which MLRS Do You Consider The Best In The World?
The missile will be able to strike targets up to miles away with precision, including moving targets both on land at sea. Thee DeepStrike missile was originally developed for the U. Army's Long Range Precision Fires program. Army the ability to strike enemy headquarters, fuel and supply depots, helicopter bases, and other high value targets at ranges of up to miles. Although effective and still highly useful, it's been thirty years since ATACMS and the class of weapons is ripe for an update.
DeepStrike is also designed to range out up to kilometers miles away. The missile's range is a hard cap imposed by the Intermediate Nuclear Forces Treatywhich prohibits the U. One interesting feature set: DeepStrike will likely gain the ability to hit moving targets on land and at sea. The idea is that in any future air-land-sea conflict, particularly in the Pacific, Army forces could land on an island or coastline, bring DeepStrike with them, and immediately project a mile "no-go" zone against enemy targets on both land and sea.

The conflict between the United States and the Soviet Union (or Russia) in the last half of the twentieth century is called “the Cold War” because it never escalated into full-fledged battle, the United States vs. Russia, democracy vs. communism. Americans felt that communism was antithetical to the American system, and characterized the Soviet government as bent on dominating the world. By 1985, however, Americans had grown accustomed to the idea of “détente,” or the relaxing of tensions, which called for a cooling off of the arms race. In the 1970s, US and Soviet leaders had agreed to many treaties that would put limits on arms production, for example the Strategic Arms Limitation Treaties, or SALT I and II. Ronald Reagan, president from 1981 to 1989, and his advisors continued in this effort by trying to negotiate with Soviet leaders to not only stop production, but also to reduce existing nuclear devices. Reagan’s efforts were referred to as Strategic Arms Reduction Treaties, or START I and II, and were initially proposed in 1982. However, the 1980s saw fluctuating relations with the Soviets, as arms reduction conversations did not always go well. Both sides continued to build and expand on arms technology and embrace other weapons of mass destruction, such as chemical warfare through the use of nerve gas.

In order to prove their sincerity, Iranians have offered the US to form a partnership in their nuclear program.
The Energy Adviser for the Iranian government and the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) representative Hussein Kazempour issued a statement to The Financial Times today (March 16) and said that the Americans can have 50-50 partnership.
Kazempour continued that their offer is on the table; however, the Americans have their reservations. And these reservations could be removed if they were involved in Iran\'s nuclear program.

But this 14-year-old has invented a drone especially for that purpose. For Harshvardhan Jwala of Gujarat, this is not a simple plaything. At his age he is perhaps India’s youngest crorepati, for the Gujarat government has signed an MOU with him worth Rs five crore for his consent and technological supervision of manufacturing the drone in bulk. Harshvardhan will be working closely with the state’s Ministry of Science & Technology.
Harsh’s drone will not only trace out the landmines, but even deactivate them. The lad had been showcased at the Vibrant Gujarat gala last month and has been roundly applauded.
Harsh says he got the idea of making such a drone when he was watching television news which said that many soldiers die trying to defuse landmines physically. He explains that in the drone he has fitted a 21 megapixel camera with mechanical shutter as well as infrared, RGB as well as thermal meter. The camera can take high resolution pictures.
The drone will fly over units of eight square metres at a height of two feet from the ground and the waves from it will identify the locations of landmines. These data will be relayed to the base station. The drone is capable of carrying a 50 gram bomb in it to destroy the landmine.

The icons of American gun history include early Winchester models (such as Henry, Model 1866, Model 1873) and the Colt Single Action Army, weapons from Sharps. Especially the model 1874, set up for large-volume cartridges suitable for hunting all North American big game, has a special flair. Numerous stories, legends and occasional roles in relevant films have contributed to a myth of a special kind. The synonym "Buffalo Rifle" points to a (sad) chapter in the story of the conquest of the American continent, when between 1867 and 1882 the professional buffalo hunters almost exterminated the herds of millions of specimens of the American bison, except for a pitiful remnant .
In principle, "Sharps" refers to a robust single-shot weapon with a long and often heavy barrel in large caliber, without many frills, without unnecessary luxury. The OLD RELIABLE trademark (on weapons manufactured in Bridgeport from 1876 onwards) also contributes to consolidating the nimbus. Similar to the way Colt primarily thinks of the 1873 (Single Action Army) model, Sharps has the 1874 model in mind.
At the beginning of the career of a whole series of practical, long-lasting and visually appealing weapons, which enjoyed considerable popularity in both the military and civilian sectors, the invention of a Christian Sharps (just like that, with an "s" and without an apostrophe!) . C. Sharps lived from 1811 to 1874. He worked and learned in the arsenal of Harpers Ferry under John Hall, a famous inventor from New England. Sharps received his first patent in 1848 for a drop block lock, the underlying principle of all weapons commonly associated with the name Sharps.
The first two rifle models, 1849 and 1850, are still manufactured by A. S. Nippes in Mill Creek, Pennsylvania, the carbine of the model 1851 by Robbins & Lawrence in Windsor, Vermont. This is followed in 1852 by the founding of a sales company in Hartford, Connecticut, which bears the name of Christian Sharps as Sharps Rifle Manufacturing Company and of which Sharps is a technical advisor. For every weapon manufactured, he receives a share of the income. Production was relocated to Hartford around 1855 under the same company name. In 1874 a reorganization takes place, the company now operates under the Sharps Rifle Company. Two years later, the entire Hartford factory is relocated to Bridgeport, Connecticut, where they will remain based until the end of 1881. But until then, a production that is impressive in terms of quantity, quality and diversity will leave the production facilities. Shotguns and military weapons (model 1853) are manufactured, Beecher's Bibles and John Brown Sharps play their part in the political discussion about the slave issue, and they are also manufactured for the military and England. With the New Model 1859, 1863 and 1865 rifles and carbines, the breech block that slides downwards at an angle is replaced by a vertically lowerable one. After the fratricidal war between North and South, exactly these models were changed to metal cartridges at the Sharps company. A model 1869 and a model with the designation 1870, modified in the arsenal in Springfield and at Sharps from existing civil war stocks, followed in small numbers, before the model 1874 launched the dazzling range of those legendary hunting and sporting weapons that preoccupy collectors and historians alike. Although it was first produced in 1871, the mentioned year 1874 has become the norm for a model that, in its variety of uses, calibers and designs, has been the weapon of choice for hunters of all North American game and for shooters, especially over long distances Distances up to 1300 yards are possible. In national and international competitions it is always a model that causes a stir. A special model 1877 is also being developed for the competitions of the latter type. The brothers Frank and George Freund, from Heidelberg, gunsmiths by trade, draw attention to themselves with their own modifications. With the Sharps-Borchardt rifle (model 1878) comes the end of a series that successfully kept pace in the hectic time of permanent innovations in the field of weapons and ammunition development and offered buyers the best bang for their buck.
The inventor himself had a somewhat disturbed relationship with the companies that bore his name. Already in 1853 he parted with it and paddled his own canoe in Philadelphia, where he founded a company C. Sharps & Co. in 1854 to manufacture single-shot breech loading pistols with percussion ignition, from 1859 four-shot pepper boxes. In 1862, C. Sharps tried a partner named William Hankins. The two also produced "pepper shakers" and rifles and carbines with vertically sliding barrels, the latter almost all for military purposes. In 1866 they separated. There was a C. Sharps Co. and four-barrel pistols again until 1874, when Christian Sharps died and his company ceased to exist with him.
The 1874 models were manufactured by the Sharps Rifle Manufacturing Co. of Hartford from 1871 to 1876, then by the Sharps Rifle Company of Bridgeport until 1881. With regard to barrel length, caliber, barrel shape, finish and sights, there was a multitude of options with a corresponding number of variants. Certain fixed combinations were offered in the catalogs under special names, or the collectors of a later generation created common names under which Sharps weapons are now divided into types. In "Flayderman", the bible for collectors of American weapons, there are subdivisions in "Sporting (6500), Military Rifle and Carbine (1769 + 456), Hunter's (592), Creedmoor # 1-3 (149), Mid Range # 1 -3 (177), Long Range # 1-4 (429), Business (1604), Schuetzen (69) "(the numbers in brackets, which add up to 11745). Another 700 specimens belong to the so-called A-series, which were manufactured between 1879 and 1882 in a colorful variety of percussion weapons and leftover parts and were mainly delivered to two well-known dealers in Denver, Colorado, namely J. P. Lower and Carlos Gove.
The popularity of the .45-75 Sharps caliber was due to the widespread use of the .45-70 Government military cartridge. It was easy to get almost everywhere, in any case where the military was nearby, and was allegedly given in part to buffalo hunters free of charge in order to speed up the extermination of the buffalo and thus that of the Indians. The popularity of the .45-70 Government cartridge in Sharps rifles continues to this day. After all, it is standard in the new productions of the 1874 model, which are again offered in numerous variants today, and which can always be found in the increasing number of competitions taking place in the old manner.

Beyond the histrionics of US foreign policy, the real issue concerning an Iranian development of nuclear weapons is international nonproliferation – and, indeed, a world free of all nuclear weapons, argues Nadia Hijab.
Whatever else it is, Iran’s nuclear quest is not short on drama. Israel and Iran have just flexed their military muscles in highly publicized exercises and tests. The P5+1 - the US, Britain, France, Russia, and China, all permanent members of the UN Security Council, plus Germany - just brandished another acre of carrots and rainforest of sticks at Iran.
In the US Congress, resolutions to impose a naval blockade against Iran, among other measures, have been cosponsored by nearly half the House and a third of the Senate, in complete disregard of the 2007 US National Intelligence Estimate that says Iran no longer has an active nuclear weapons program.
These histrionics have cloaked the elephant in the room -- indeed, whole herds of the ivory-tusked beasts are hidden from view, each carrying its own weight again in loads of hypocrisy. Take just three of the elephants: Israel’s huge nuclear arsenal and the more modest stores of India and Pakistan.
Israel’s nuclear stockpile is said to include between 100 and 200 nuclear devices, according to the Federation of American Scientists; other sources put the figure as high as 400. India and Pakistan are each believed to have 35 nuclear devices. None has signed the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT).
Yet the United States and Europe have taken little action. For example, Israel has been conspicuously absent from the semi-annual reports the US Congress requires from intelligence agencies on the acquisition by foreign countries of technology for weapons of mass destruction.
And even as it was turning up the heat on Iran back in 2006, the US Administration was lobbying Congress hard for an agreement on nuclear cooperation with India despite US legislation prohibiting such cooperation with a country that has not signed the NPT.
The deal, which received preliminary Congressional approval, may not take effect because of lack of time to secure final approval before the end of 2008. If it does, it would allow India to open civilian facilities to inspection while keeping military ones closed. Pakistan, which wanted the same deal, was rebuffed, but has not received anything like the treatment of Iran.
These nuclear powers dominate Iran’s neighborhood. As the CATO Institute soberly noted in a 2006 briefing, "Iran is located in a volatile region, surrounded by hostile neighbors. Russia, Israel, Pakistan, and India all have nuclear weapons already, so regional deterrence issues probably loom large for Iran."
Given this reality, one would have thought that the best way to stop Iran’s nuclear ambitions would be to work on Israel, India, and Pakistan to give theirs up and make the Middle East a nuclear free zone.
And in fact the P5 voted for such an approach in 1991. Article 14 in UN Security Council Resolution 687, part of the cease-fire arrangements ending operation Desert Storm that expelled Iraq from Kuwait, solemnly sets out the goal of "establishing in the Middle East a zone free from weapons of mass destruction."
Article 14 has never been acted upon, in spite of frequent pleas by Arab states for a nuclear free zone. Why not? Here the NPT emerges as one of the biggest elephants in the room. Under the NPT, which entered into force in 1970, the original five nuclear powers -- the selfsame P5 -- were supposed to reduce and eliminate their nuclear arsenals. In exchange, other countries pledged not to acquire them.
Because the P5 have not done so, they have faced the other 183 NPT signatories with the choice of living under their nuclear shadow or trying to acquire their own nuclear weapons. The countries that are trying to bring Iran to heel are the ones responsible for eroding the treaty that would have prevented the pursuit of such weapons. Indeed, France and Russia are lining up behind the United States to sell India nuclear technology.
Some argue that Iran is driven by ideology rather than by state interests, and cannot be dealt with “rationally.” However, its president’s rhetoric aside, Iran has not demonstrated excessively aggressive behavior in the past 30 years. It has not, for example, invaded other countries to control their land, water, or oil resources. Rather, it was itself invaded, in 1980 by Saddam’s Iraq, with the active support of the then US Administration.
The best way to stop Iran from going nuclear is to forge ahead with the reduction and elimination of all nuclear weapons. But for that to even begin to happen, we need a far bigger spotlight on the elephants in the room. | weapons_science |

In a general sense, the term sword is any side arm for cutting or thrusting, such as a blade, saber, cutlass.
Swords used in the most ancient times were made of stone, bone, or wood. Bronze swords, which were probably known to the Egyptians as early as 2000 bc, were the first metal swords. Harder iron swords, appearing at later times in different parts of the world, quickly proved superior; these remained in use until fairly recent times, when steelmaking was perfected and steel blades appeared.
The sword has always been a personal weapon, effective only in hand-to-hand combat. Modern warfare have made swords obsolete as combat weapons.
Antique Collectible Swords
The sword consists of the blade and the hilt.
The name scabbard applies to the case which covers the sword when not in use.
Humans have manufactured and used bladed weapons from the Bronze Age onwards. The sword developed from the dagger when the construction of longer blades became possible. Iron swords became increasingly common from the 13th century BC. Iron had the advantage of mass-production due to the wider availability of the raw material. Early iron swords were brittle compared to steel blades. They were even inferior to good bronze weapons, but the easier production, and the better availability of the raw material for the first time permitted the equipment of entire armies with metal weapons. Eventually sword makers learned that by adding an amount of carbon in the iron, they could produce an improved alloy now known as steel.
Improvements to the sword over the years included lengthening of the grip, allowing two-handed use, and a longer blade. By 1400 this type of sword, were common. Swords of political and military leaders, nobles, and warriors frequently were ornamented, with hilts elegantly decorated and blades inlaid with gold and silver or forged. The sword in this time period was the most personal weapon and the most versatile for close combat, but it came to find a greater role in civilian self-defense than in military use as technology changed warfare. | weapons_science |

This badge was made to be worn in protest against French nuclear testing in the Pacific. Between 1966 and 1996, the French carried out about 190 nuclear tests at Moruroa and Fangataufa atolls in French Polynesia. These caused reef damage, landslides, subsidence, radioactive emissions, and fish poisoning. New Zealand versus France By the 1970s, New Zealand was a leading voice against nuclear testing in the Pacific. In 1973, the government sent navy frigates in support of a protest fleet and took France to the International Court of Justice. France stopped atmospheric nuclear testing in 1974, but resumed testing underground until 1996. Wearing protest The visual culture of anti-nuclear protest often took form in a range of popular media, including banners, T-shirts, and badges. Badges were accessible, mass-produced objects, cheap to make and purchase, easily disseminated, and effective in conveying political messages. | weapons_science |

Eight ships to this design were ordered, but the orders for Z40, Z41 and Z42 (all three ordered from Germania Werft at Kiel) were replaced by orders for three "scout cruisers", to be numbered Sp1, Sp2 and Sp3 respectively.
The Type 1936B design retained the hull design of the Type 1936A, but reverted to the lighter main armament of the Type 1936 to reduce top-weight and improve seakeeping.
Z36 and Z35 were lost in the Gulf of Finland after hitting friendly mines, while Z43 was scuttled near the end of the war.

You’ve wanted your own but buying the materials can be expensive online. The rattan sword from one site and the metal hilt from another. There is the cost of the items themselves along with the shipping on top. That alone can deter you from actually buying and keep borrowing your friend’s. You have been attending events hoping to find one but nothing has been found and you were not able to attend the local war this year. You have just about given up hope when the last even you go to there is a sword. Even though the sword is a bit short and the hilt looks terrible you purchase it anyhow. For the price it’s a steal and you can always take the hilt somewhere to make it look nice. Now just how do you wrap the rattan to actually make it legal for heavy weapons?
First take the screw off the hilt and put a piece of foam in it so that any thrusts you make will be cushioned. Do not cut a piece of foam and then put a cut in it so it will fit around the sword but cut the hole and then slide it through the bottom of the sword and then put the hilt back on the sword. This will ensure the foam does not come off. Depending on the size of your hilt you may not need a big piece of foam either.
When you tape your sword you need to have strapping tape to tape the rattan first and then two colors of duct tape second. Black is normally used for the back color and then a second color for the blade edge but as long as they are contrasting colors anything will work. | weapons_science |

Japanese Sword Structure, Type, and Design
Collectors of weapons, especially those interested in accumulating a variety of sword styles, will not have a complete collection unless they own at least one finely made Japanese sword. Of course, Japanese swords that are crafted by swordsmiths will be priced very high because so much attention goes into their construction and design. In contrast, there are companies that manufacture incredible looking Japanese replica swords that are well-made, durable and are inexpensively priced when compared to the prices of genuine blades. The replica weapons on today's market are just as detailed as real blades from Japan, and they are definitely worthy of being put on a display.
About Japanese Sword Design
The swords made in Japan are weapons that are made to absolute perfection; a genuine sword that is crafted out of tamahagane, a word that actually means "jewel steel," and this steel is used in a variety of finely-crafted blades including the kodachi, odachi, nodachi, tachi, nagamaki, naginata, yari, tanto, wakizashi, and the famed katana. Each part of the sword's blade is flawlessly made - with every part of the blade having a clear identification including the mune, nearest the Habaki, Seppa, Suba and Fuci just above the sword's hilt, to the Hamon, hi/bo-hi, Nagas, Sori (the midpoint of the blade), Sinogi, Sinogi-Ji, Ji/Hiraji, Ha, Yokote, and Kissaski, nearest the blade's tip.
More on the Design of Japanese Swords
In genuine Japanese weapons, the steel is folded repeatedly to create a durable, yet flexible blade. The folded metal is forged by the sword maker to have the appropriate curve and an ultra-sharp edge - this action is followed by polishing the blade so that it offers a perfect shine. The scabbard, otherwise identified as a saya, is crafted by a woodcarver, and separate sword makers or craftsmen make the hilt ornamentations, the hand guard or tsuba, and the tsuka or handle of the sword in question.
Today's replica weapons are crafted to look identical to the masterful works of art created by the Japanese sword selections swordsmiths and such options are tremendously affordable. | weapons_science |

Simon Churchman was imprisoned after cops found the haul of weapons – including a rapid-fire sub-machine gun, a bolt-action rifle and a shotgun – at his cottage in Kidcudbrightshire.
Images released by prosecutors show the breadth of the equipment the 63-year-old had stashed at home.
Among the weapons found was a Czech-made Sampoi sub-machine gun, complete with shoulder stock, which Churchman had reactivated to fire paintball rounds.
Police also discovered a short barrelled Weihrauch airgun and a Walther CO2 air pistol almost impossible to distinguish from the real thing.
The pictures released by the Crown Office also show the extent to which Churchman had hoarded ammunition.
Court documents state that his collection amounted to more than 600 bullets.
Churchman appeared at the High Court in Livingston on Thursday after pleading guilty on indictment to six charges of possessing weapons and ammunition.
The court heard that he had once worked as an experts weapons adviser to the police and claimed to have provided deactivated weapons for use on stage and in films.
David Moggach QC, defending, said Churchman had a keen interest in firearms and tried to restore them.
He told the court: “He is at pains to point out that he does not possess the firearms for any sinister or nefarious reasons.
“His background is one of engineering and he appreciates firearms for the quality of their craftsmanship. It’s not anything more sinister than that.”
Police seized the weapons after calling in at Churchman’s detached farm cottage in Twynholm, Kincudbrightshire, on an unrelated manner in March 2018.
He was quizzed by detectives but remained silent throughout the interview.
In total, cops found seven air guns, a shotgun, a rifle and more than 600 rounds of ammunition – all without the necessary certificates.
Churchman was sentenced to five years imprisonment for possessing the sub-machine gun.
On the two charges of possessing air weapons without proper certificates judge Lord Weir sentenced Churchman to a year in prison and for possessing the ammunition, the shotgun and the bolt action rifle without firearms certificates he imposed a 16 month sentence, both to be served concurrently with the five year term.
Lord Weir told the gun nut: “These were and are serious offences. You had a number of air weapons, a shotgun and a bolt action rifle in your possession, all without the requisite certification.

The game was developed by “Infinity Ward”. “Activision” are the publishers of the game. COD Modern Warfare was released on October 25, 2019. The game is played in a first-person perspective. The settings of the game are more realistic and modern.
By launching this edition of the game, developers have tried to bring back the old classic weapons from the previous editions of the game. All the guns have different specifications and it becomes difficult for players to choose from them. In this article, we will be discussing different categories of weapons.
Categories of Weapons:
Some of the best categories of weapons are discussed below:
In COD modern warfare, assault rifles can be used to do damage at different ranges. Guns falling in this category are divided into three tiers depending on their specifications. Some of the best guns available in this category are:
SMGs are best for close-range encounters. This is because of their good firepower that they cause huge damage to the opponent at close range. The hard-core and pro gamers like these types of weapons because of their run-and-gun style of play. Some of the best available guns of this category are:
If you want accuracy and precision from long-range, sniper rifles should be your go-to weapons. The accuracy of these guns is unmatched. Tactical players like to play with these weapons. The best available guns from this category are:
Light Machine Guns(LMGs):
These types of guns are best for long-range targets. These become handy if the opponent is at a large distance. Magazines of these weapons have a large ammo capacity. These guns should be your go-to guns on larger maps. Some of the best LMGs are:
These are also long-range weapons. Like sniper rifles and LMGs, these guns are used to take down the enemy from a long distance. But a drawback of these guns is that they are not much recommended by professionals. It is a fact that they are more mobile than sniper rifles but it causes way less damage than sniper rifles and LMGs. Some of the best guns from this category are
The player account gets better and better with time. The main component to upgrade the account is the winning of battles and the presence of quality weapons in the arsenal. The worth of the account increases with the rise in the player level. There are online forums available where buying and selling of accounts of COD modern warfare take place.

BLS is one of the absolute best OEM's for airsoft BBs. Valken uses BLS to manufacture their bbs. That is why we stock them. We particularly stock their heavy weights considering heavy weights are hard to find and it fills the gap that Elite Force and LongBow leaves.
Here is a chart of recommended BB weights for Fps measured with .2g
~320 FPS .2g
320-360 FPS .25g
360-400 FPS .28g
400-450 FPS .32g
450-500 FPS .36g
These are recommended weights for fully automatic guns. The fps sometimes overlapps, when it does, you can use either bb weight for good performance. This chart does not necessarily apply to sniper rifles, you can find their chart on heavy weight BB pages. | weapons_science |

The battle of Cambrai was the first to use tanks on a large scale, with tactics created especially for them. An intense artillery barrage started early in the morning of the 21st, with 378 tanks moving forward followed by the infantry. In certain sections, this worked very well and the British managed to capture five miles of land. In the following days, stiff German resistance meant that certain sections, like Bourlon Wood and Cambrai itself, were not taken. By the 30th, the Germans had enough reserves to counter-attack, and managed to regain some of the ground they had lost, and nearly cut off the troops in the centre. The German advance was eventually stopped. While the main objective of Cambrai was not achieved, it did show that with certain tactics the tank could break through German lines.. | weapons_science |

There are a few things you should know before you purchase one, whether it’s your first gun or an addition to a collection. Before you buy a gun, read these 10 tips to ensure the best (and safest) outcome possible.
- Identify the purpose of the gun.
Before you purchase a gun, you should identify its purpose. Is the gun for defending your home, hunting, fun at a gun range, or a combination? Big guns will have more recoil and better accuracy. If you’re looking for a gun for hunting, you may want a shotgun or a rifle. Your gun should be task specific.
- Learn gun safety.
Before you purchase any firearm, you should know gun safety. There are three rules of the National Rifle Association for proper gun safety: 1) “ALWAYS keep the gun pointed in a safe direction.” 2) “ALWAYS keep your finger off the trigger until ready to shoot.” 3) “ALWAYS keep the gun unloaded until ready to use.” Gun safety is there to protect you and everyone around you.
- Know the gun laws in your area.
Each state will have different laws that apply to firearms. For example, it may or may not be legal for you to openly carry your weapon. Another is that you may not be able to have a certain caliber of gun. There may also be age restrictions. Do thorough research on gun laws in your area to be sure you’re following them.
- Learn how a gun works.
When it comes to a gun, you should fully understand the parts of the weapon. Not only should you be able to identify the parts, you should also know how these parts work. If you need one, there are plenty of classes you can take to help you learn about the firearm. Knowledge of the gun’s workings will decrease the chance of accidents, and it will also help you take care of the gun, making it last longer
- Shoot a gun of the same caliber.
Before you choose a gun, you should practice shooting it or one of the same caliber at a firing range. Using the same caliber will allow you to experience what it's like firing the weapon. While a .38 sounds like a good plan, you may find that there's too much recoil for you. You’ll only know how it feels once you’ve fired the gun.
- Check the gun’s history.
You should know the history of your gun before purchasing. Much of a gun’s history can be discovered when you run the serial number on the gun. Was it used in a crime? Is it yours to own? Is it stolen? All of these questions can be answered by checking the serial number.
- Don’t buy cheap.
We all want to save money, but when it comes to guns, you really get what you pay for. It’s all right to have a budget, but you should know that buying a budget gun means you may walk away with something that isn’t right for you. Cheap guns may not last very long and are usually made with cheaper parts. At times, these guns may even be more dangerous compared to something pricier.
- Properly register your gun.
In many states, gun owners must register their firearms. Registration means you have to record your ownership of the gun with a designated law enforcement agency. Registering will enable law enforcement to identify, disarm, and prosecute violent offenders should the gun be used in a crime. Registration also creates accountability for firearm owners and discourages illegal sales.
- Learn how to disassemble and clean the gun.
Knowing how to disassemble your firearm and cleaning it regularly will increase the lifespan of your gun. Cleaning your gun is just as important as buying the right one for you. Failing to clean it regularly can lead to issues such as jamming or even misfires. To avoid these potentially harmful problems, learn how to disassemble and clean your gun. Most gun shops have people who will be glad to show you how.
- Keep it in a safe place.
There are many cases of children finding weapons, or weapons accidentally going off, and hurting or killing someone. Before you purchase a gun, buy a safe place to keep it. You can easily purchase a gun safe to properly store your firearm under lock and key. You should also know how to properly store it while not in use. | weapons_science |

He is relatively weak for a Zoanoid, mainly because his body structure is specifically designed as organic artillery. His shoulders carry two massive, armored pods which can open at will and reveal organic blast lenses. The laser beams from these cannons are intense enough to pierce the armor of a tank and blow it up.
Vamores are usually deployed in battallions, or rather batteries, to batter attacking opponents with devastating barrages of laser beams. On X-day, they proved highly successful.
Vamore generates the energy for his laser blasts by internally catalyzing two chemicals. Unfortunately, the resulting substance is toxic to his body. Consequently, he can fire his laser for only about three seconds at a time, and then has to pause for a few seconds to metabolize the toxin before he can fire again.
The laser units do not naturally grow from his body; rather, they are added during processing and fuse with the developing organs. It is unknown whether this goes for all bio-blaster type Zoanoids. | weapons_science |

The wild animals were big, and if you got too close, they could devour you before you got the chance to kill them. There were no guns at this point, so man probably had to put himself in harm's way more times then not, just to increase his chances of catching his prey. I can assume at this point and time, man was thinking of ways to increase his chances of catching his prey, while trying to reduce the potential physical harm to himself. Maybe this is when the idea of the spear began to form in man's mind.The spear, in its most basic form, was a stick that was sharpened at the end.
Soon after the spear, came the bow. The bow was a device used to hurl the spear distances greater then man could throw with his arm. The device used in conjunction with the bow, would later become known as an arrow. Some of the oldest arrowheads were found in Africa, and were dated before 25,000 B.
C. The first composite bow was created by the Egyptians; this occurred sometime around 2800 B.C.For obvious reasons, the bow and arrow became a great tool for hunting food. And over time man even found ways to improve the accuracy of his shooting; he did this by adding feathers to his arrows. The bow and arrow also became a great tool for fighting.
Archery was a weapon for many of the early armies. The Egyptians used archers on the back of chariots, they were highly skilled, and could easily outflank an enemy army with devastating effect. Probably the most famous archers in history were the Mongols. Genghis Khan was the leader of the Mongols who were expert horsemen who could stand high in the stirrups and shoot arrows in all directions. Maybe the most recognized name in archery is William Tell.
Legend has it that William refused to bow in the presence of authority, so he was ordered to shoot an apple off of his son's head.Bows were still being used in battles, until the late 1500s. In 1520 AD the musket was invented. English archers were last used in battle in 1644 AD. With the invention of the firearm, it became apparent that there was no longer any need for archers on the battlefield.Though no longer used for battles, archery skill contests became popular in England, toward the end of the 1600s.
In the US archery was basically a Native American activity until 1828, when the United Bowmen of Philadelphia was formed. The National Archery Association was established in 1879, and the first national tournament was held that year in Chicago. Archery was actually a competition in the second modern Olympic Games in 1900. Unfortunately, because so many countries had different rules on how they judged the sport; the Olympics dropped archery as a competition after 1920. The FITA was formed in 1931, in Paris.
What this organization did was to create standardized rules, for archery in international competition. By 1972, enough countries had affiliated themselves with FITA, that it helped archery to be restored as an Olympic event..Michael Russell.Your Independent guide to Archery.

The latest leak from prominent Valorant leaker ValorLeaks on X has revealed that the upcoming Season 8 might introduce a new weapon for the first time. The new weapon is reportedly a long-range weapon that is somewhere between the Operator and Marshal.
Weapon selection in general in Valorant has always been fine, but the difference in buy cost and performance between the two long ranges is huge. By no means, Marshal is a bad weapon in the hands of skilled players, but long range in general requires more skill.
The upcoming weapon named Outlaw is reportedly bridging the gap between the two. Rumoured to be priced is 2,400 and the weapon will do a bit more damage compared to Marshal. One shot, however, can only be achieved with a headshot.
Here are the expected stats for Outlaw -
Head - 238
Body - 140
Legs - 119
With a magazine size of 2, it might be tricky to get out of a rush situation. The weapon will also decrease the movement speed to 80% and have an equip time of 1.2 seconds.
Going by the stats, the weapon seems great against those who like to buy low armour. Play style depends on the players. A general deep defence for a pick and fallback, until the team comes back, seems viable. Since the stats can be changed, it remains to be seen how the weapon will be used.
What will happen to the current weapon pool is also a mystery. Will the weapon be slotted in with others, giving the player an option to choose between three, or the players have to sacrifice one to equip another game like Counter-Strike 2?
The game is also set to introduce a new agent. Both the agent and the new weapon might actually shift certain meta. Although the game is pretty well balanced. | weapons_science |

The first V-bomber to drop bombs in anger, when they were sent to attack Egyptian airfields during the Suez campaign, the Valiant was also the first RAF aircraft to drop a Hydrogen bomb, which it did during the Operation Grapple tests of 1957. The service career of the aircraft was cut short after the discovery of serious fatigue problems with its rear spar, which lead to a number of fatal accidents and the subsequent grounding of the fleet.

“It’s a good thing that they aren’t testing right now but it doesn’t mean that they can’t advance their program in other ways or continue to add warheads to their arsenal or missiles to their delivery system stockpiles,” said Alexandra Bell, senior policy director at the Center for Arms Control and Non-Proliferation. “The lack of testing just means that they are comfortable with the designs they have,” Bell told CNBC.
Under the third-generation North Korean leader, the reclusive state has conducted its most powerful nuclear test, launched its first-ever intercontinental ballistic missile and threatened to send missiles into the waters near Guam.
Since 2011, Kim has fired more than 85 missiles and four nuclear weapons tests, which is more than what his father, Kim Jong Il, and grandfather, Kim Il Sung, launched over a period of 27 years.
Starting with the most recent, here is a look at North Korea’s defiant rocket launches in 2017, which often provoked angry responses from Trump: | weapons_science |
