JEDDAH: The Saudi ambassador to the UN, Abdallah Al-Mouallimi, has stressed the importance of efforts to eliminate nuclear weapons.
The international community needs to adopt existing treaties, as well as legal and ethical frameworks, aimed at achieving a world free of nuclear weapons, he said.
“It is clear to everyone that nuclear reactors pose a threat even if they are used for peaceful purposes, especially if these reactors lack nuclear safety and security standards,” he added.
He expressed Saudi concern over Irans Bushehr nuclear reactor, located no more than 200 km from the Arabian Gulf coast, “especially as it is located on an active seismic line.”
Al-Mouallimi said: “Any radiation leakage will expose the region to serious danger to the air, desalination plants and food.”
He called on the international community, the UN and the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) to urge Iran to comply with international law and nuclear safety standards.
He also urged the IAEA to issue periodic reports of countries readiness to cope with possible disasters caused by leakages in nuclear reactors, so as not to repeat the Chernobyl disaster.
Saudi support for the Iran nuclear deal was based on the Kingdoms belief in the need to limit the spread of weapons of mass destruction in the Middle East and worldwide, he said.
But Iran used revenues from the lifting of sanctions to continue destabilizing the region, especially by developing ballistic missiles and supporting terrorist groups, including Hezbollah and the Houthis, who target civilians in the Kingdom and Yemen and repeatedly threaten international shipping lanes, he added.
Al-Mouallimi urged the international community to adopt a firm and united stance toward Iran and its destabilization of the region.
He called on Tehran to stop supporting terrorism, abide by UN Security Council resolutions on ballistic missiles, and stop interfering in the affairs of other countries in the region.

National Firearms Act (" NFA" ) imposes strict
registration requirements and a special tax on anyone who
makes, sells, or possesses certain dangerous weapons such as
machine guns, short-barreled rifles and silencers. 26 U.S.C.
§ § 5801-72. Sig Sauer, Inc. plans to produce and
sell a rifle with a silencer component known as a "
monolithic baffle core" that is permanently affixed to
the barrel of the rifle. It contends that the baffle core is
exempt from registration under the NFA because it does not
meet the statutory definition of a silencer. The Bureau of
Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms (" ATF" ) rejected
Sig Sauer's argument in an informal adjudicatory
proceeding and instead concluded that the baffle core should
be treated as a silencer under the NFA. 18 U.S.C. §
921(a)(24). The issue this case presents is whether the
AFT's determination was " arbitrary, capricious, an
abuse of discretion, or otherwise not in accordance of
law" under the Administrative Procedure Act ("
APA" ), 5 U.S.C. § 706(2)(A).
applies to " particularly dangerous weapons,"
United States v. Posnjak, 457 F.2d 1110, 1113 (2d
Cir. 1972), including shotguns with barrels less than 18
inches in length, rifles with barrels less than 16 inches in
length, machineguns, silencers, and destructive devices. 26
U.S.C. § 5845(a) (defining " firearm" for
purposes of the NFA). The NFA sets " rigorous
registration and taxation requirements for the dealers and
transferors of those weapons." Posnjak, 457
F.2d at 1113. For example, each NFA firearm must be
registered in a central federal registry and bear a serial
number. 26 U.S.C. § § 5841, 5842. The NFA also
imposes a $200 tax on the making of an NFA firearm and on
each subsequent transfer of the firearm. 26 U.S.C. §
§ 5811, 5821; see Posnjak, 457 F.2d at 1114.
Violations of the NFA are punishable by substantial fines and
imprisonment for up to ten years. 26 U.S.C. § 5871.
adopts the definition of the term " firearm
silencer" used in the Gun Control Act (" GCA"
). 18 U.S.C. § 921(a)(24) (GCA
definition of silencer); 26 U.S.C. § 5845(a)
(incorporating GCA definition by reference). Under the GCA, a
firearm silencer is defined as:
[A]ny device for silencing, muffling, or diminishing the
report of a portable firearm, including any combination of
parts, designed or redesigned, and intended for use in
assembling or fabricating a firearm silencer or firearm
muffler, and any part intended only for use in such assembly
18 U.S.C. § 921(a)(24). This definition broadly
encompasses both completed silencers and parts that can be
used to produce silencers. Any combination of parts that is
intended to be used to produce a silencer will be deemed to
be a silencer under both the NFA and the
GCA, and a single part can qualify if it is " intended
only for use" in a silencer.
Sig Sauer's Classification Request
April 4, 2013, Sig Sauer submitted a prototype firearm to the
ATF and sought confirmation that the prototype would not be
subject to registration under the NFA. See A.R.
790. As proposed, the device combined a
short-barreled rifle with a monolithic baffle
core that Sig Sauer uses in producing
silencers. See A.R. 824. Sig Sauer explained in a letter
submitted with the prototype that it intended the baffle core
to serve as a muzzle brake and not a silencer. See A.R. 790
(doc. no. 15). It also asserted that its prototype would not
be subject to registration under the NFA as a short-barreled
rifle because the combined length of the prototype's
barrel and the baffle core was 16 inches, the minimum barrel
length that is sufficient to avoid classification as a
short-barreled rifle. Id.
responded to Sig Sauer's request by noting that the
baffle core was a silencer component and concluding, without
further explanation, that it qualified as a silencer under
the NFA because it was a part intended only for use in a
silencer. See A.R. 791-93.
Sauer followed up several months later with a request for
reconsideration. See A.R. 796-808. In pressing its request,
Sig Sauer reiterated its statement that it intended the
baffle core to serve as a muzzle brake rather than a
silencer. See A.R. 796. It also submitted sound testing data
for the prototype that showed that the baffle core did not
reduce the sound of a firearm discharge when used without an
outer tube. See A.R. 797. Finally, Sig Sauer produced
evidence supporting its claim that the baffle core functioned
as a muzzle brake, and it identified several other devices
that are manufactured and sold as muzzle brakes which, it
argued, were similar to the baffle core. See A.R. 798.
responded with a one-page letter again stating without
explanation that the baffle core was a " silencer"
because it was " a part intended only for use in the
assembly or fabrication of a silencer." A.R. 809.
Sauer filed its complaint in this court on April 7, 2014. On
June 9, 2014, the parties filed a joint motion to stay the
litigation to permit the ATF to reassess its determination
that the baffle core qualified as a silencer under the NFA.
Doc. No. 9. Shortly thereafter, Sig Sauer submitted a second
version of the prototype that was substantially similar to | weapons_science |

But is it really? Tinman is here to prove otherwise!"
Hero Abilities Edit
Shoot Laser Edit
This ability is the Tinman's main damage source and it does 2 damage per laser. The laser gun can shoot 12 lasers before it has to reload. The projectiles are minorly inaccurate. The laser gun can not be reloaded manually and will be automatically reloaded once all of the lasers have been shot. After 5 hits on enemy Heroes with the laser gun, the ability Rocket Punch will be available to use.
Rocket Punch Edit
This ability becomes available after landing 5 shots from your laser gun. This ability does major damage and some knockback if hit on an enemy. This ability does splash damage but applies less damage than a direct hit that might cause 12 damage. The Rocket Punch projectile moves slower than the Shoot Laser projectile.
Homing Missiles Edit
This ability is the Tinman's smash ability. When used, the Tinman fires 6 missiles into the air. Every missile cause 7 damage. After 5 seconds the missiles strike enemy heroes and deal damage and knockback. The missiles can be stopped if it hits a block.
Overload EditWhen this ability is used, 70 energy is spent and the Tinman is blasted into the air while dealing 4 damage and large knockback to enemy heroes. Wow!
Tips and Tricks Edit
- Tinman is notorious for being easily juggled due to his overload ability sending him high into the sky. To avoid this, immediately after using overload, use deez nutz to avoid going too high.
- After firing Homing Missles, most people will hide under a roof to avoid getting hit. Use this time to spam them with lasers and rocket punch while they're hiding under a roof, or you can even use the knockback effect to send your enemies back to the uncovered place.
- Use rocket punch where you think someone will land after a double jump. This is the most accurate way of hitting this ability.
- Although overload seems like it should be used for mobility, it's main use is for recovering and for knockback. Use overload near someone to send them flying away. | weapons_science |

Armor Class: AC-2 (AC2 against energy weapons)
Attacks: Death Ray 1 Kill/3d12 (R), Face Grasp 2d12 (M)
# Appearing: 1d3
Behavior: Killer (+4)
Description:The Pepper Pots' origin is shrouded in mystery and conflicting legend, but one thing that isn't is their sheer genocidal malevolence. The appearance of Pepper Pots is no mere monster hunt, but a planet-wide emergency. Their nearly indestructible armored shell, total lack of any emotion other than hatred and bloodlust, and the deadliness of their inbuilt weapons, makes even a single Pepper Pot a threat to entire military batallions. It is believed that the Pepper Pots may possess the capacity for time travel, and their appearance almost always seems to be followed by that of a Lord of Time, their sworn enemies and who some say have waged a war across all of time and space for a span immeasurable by that of non-temporal species.
Death Ray: The Pepper Pot's energy weapon is a lethal and powerful one, and deals 1 Kill of damage to living species, instantly killing any biological lifeform. A successful CON save will reduce this damage to 3d12, and non-biological entities such as robots or androids similarly take only 3d12.
Face Grasp: The Pepper Pot's manipulator arm can grasp the face of a victim, sealing around its face and suffocating it. On a successful grapple, the creature may automatically deal 2d12 damage to the victim per round.
Piperium Armor: The Pot's armor is virtually impenetrable by traditional physical weaponry. It possesses AC-2 against any non-energy based weaponry, attack, or damage source, and ignores the first 5 points of damage from any such assault. | weapons_science |

A commemorative memorial to the naval personnel who tested crewed torpedo boats in Loch Erisort in 1942 will be unveiled on Saturday, June 24, at Ravenspoint by Lord Geidt, a military scholar and former diplomat, who also acted at former Prime Minister Boris Johnson's ethics advisor.
Known as Charioteers, the naval divers had the unenviable task of testing out a new secret underwater weapon called the Chariot, later dubbed the human torpedo or midget submarine.
It was essentially a torpedo deployed by divers from a submarine. The Chariot torpedoes were 22 feet long (6.8 metres) and carried a 600 lbs warhead. The Charioteers sat astride the torpedo, one steered, and the other’s job was to attach the timer-controlled warhead to the enemy ship’s hull.
After completing their mission, the Charioteers would return to their submarine, sitting at periscope depth, waiting for them.
As well as attacking enemy shipping, Chariots were also used to check the suitability of landing beaches for the invasion of Sicily. This involved ensuring the seabed was flat enough for tanks disembarking from the landing craft.

Craig, Able Seaman J. Brown Photo from : Above us the Waves: The Story of Midget Submarines and Human Torpedoes by C.E.T. Warren and James Benson, published by Pen & Sword Military Classics.
Loch Erisort was one of the sites where the official development of the Chariot began in April 1942. The trialling was led by two senior Royal Navy submarine service officers Commander Geoffrey Sladen DSO, DSC and Lieutenant Commander William Richmond “Tiny” Fell, CMG, CBE, DSC.
Crew training was initially based on HMS Titania at Gosport before switching to Loch Erisort.
The training base, officially known as Port D, was located at Keose and was established in early 1942. HMS Titania anchored in Loch Erisort between Garyvard and Keose.
On board was a small group of volunteers from the Royal Navy and Royal Marines. A landing stage was constructed at Keose for them.
Activities at the training base were classified as secret and only revealed on a need-to-know basis. When training switched elsewhere, Port D was dismantled in September 1943.
The training at Loch Erisort was dangerous, with at least one fatality. Volunteers suffered nasal damage, sinus problems, and burst eardrums. Others reported episodes of unconsciousness, convulsions and toxic poisoning due to the oxygen rebreather apparatus.
The tests at Loch Erisort led to the production of the Chariot Mark 1 later that year. The battery-powered torpedo boat was capable of 3.5 knots at top speed, fully laden, and weighed 1.6 tonnes. The maximum diving depth was 27 metres (89 feet).
Thirty-four Mark 1 Chariots were made before the Chariot Mark 2 replaced it in 1944. The new design was bigger, faster and could carry an explosive payload twice that of the Mark 1.
The first ever Chariot mission was in occupied Norway in October 1942. Two Chariots were transported aboard a fishing boat to attack the German battleship Tirpitz then anchored in Trondheim. To avoid detection by the Germans, the unmanned Chariots were towed behind the fishing boat part of the way. However, they worked loose in bad weather and were lost.
After this unsuccessful mission, the Chariots were used in conjunction with submarines and fastened to the hull.
Despite early setbacks, the Chariots proved their worth in 1943 by sinking an Italian cruiser in Palermo harbour and severely damaging an Italian troop ship.
In 1994 a post-Armistice joint British and Italian operation was launched to prevent the German military from taking control of two Italian cruisers. One of the cruisers, the Bolzano, was sunk.
Later the same year, two crews on Mark 2 Chariots sank two ships in the Japanese-occupied harbour at Phuket, Thailand (then Siam). It became known as “the only completely successful British Chariot operation.”

Whether you’re a hunter or a recreational shooter, a noisy bowstring can be a nuisance and take away from the overall experience. But with our list of the best string silencers, you can easily and affordably reduce the noise and vibration from your bowstring release. From simple rubber silencers to more advanced options, we’ll guide you through the different styles and recommend some of the best options on the market. Don’t let a poorly tuned instrument ruin your shooting experience, try a string silencer today.
How to Silence your Bowstring
What makes a bow string noisy?
The unwanted noise from your bowstring can be caused by a variety of factors. The fundamental principle at play is that when a taut string, like a bowstring, is vibrated, it produces sound waves, which can be heard as noise. However, when it comes to your bow, you don’t want the string to continue vibrating after you’ve taken a shot.
One reason for this unwanted noise is if the arrow being fired is not heavy enough for the bow. When the force from the string is too much for the arrow to handle, some of that energy is transferred back into the bow, causing the string to vibrate and the limbs to flex, resulting in a twang. To minimize this noise, it’s important to use an arrow that is heavy enough for your bow’s draw weight.
Another reason for unwanted noise can be inefficiencies in the bow design. Just as it can be difficult to find the perfect arrow weight, it’s also impossible to have a perfectly efficient bow. Inefficiencies in the bow design can cause some of the stored energy to be absorbed by the limbs, causing them to flex and spring, which in turn puts energy back into the bowstring and causes it to vibrate and produce noise.
Best bow string silencers
Why do I need a quiet bow string?
The sound of a bowstring releasing an arrow can travel faster than the arrow itself, alerting potential targets of your presence. For hunters, a quiet bow is essential to avoid spooking animals like deer, as they may “jump the string” and evade your shot. In addition to being a disadvantage for hunting, string vibrations also put unnecessary wear and tear on the components of a bow, causing them to fail sooner than expected. This is why it is advised to not dry fire a bow, as the limbs can’t handle absorbing the full energy of a shot without first releasing some onto an arrow. To extend the lifespan of your bow and improve your chances for successful hunts, it’s important to address and reduce string vibrations.
What does a string silencer do?
String silencers are a device that help to absorb the excess energy in the string, reducing the unwanted noise that it produces. The video below showcases the effectiveness of one of the most popular types of string silencer, the Beaver Balls. The video demonstrates the difference in sound produced by a Bear Grizzly 45# with a brand new string, both with and without the Beaver Balls installed. As you can see, the difference is quite noticeable
Alternatives and Additions to String Silencers
Install Limb Dampeners
String silencers are not the only solution for reducing unwanted noise from a bow. Excess energy from a shot is also transferred into the limbs of both recurve and compound bows, which can cause vibrations and noise. To further reduce this noise, many people also install limb dampeners in addition to string silencers. If you’re looking for more information on limb dampeners, we have a separate article that covers the top picks, as well as tips and reviews on the best options available. Check it out after you finish reading this article
String stops, also known as suppressors, are typically found on compound bows. They are mounted at the same level as the stabilizer and are designed to “catch” the string as it reaches the end of the release. If you’re interested in learning more about the different components of a compound bow, including what a string stop looks like and where it is located, we have a separate article that goes into greater detail on the anatomy of a compound bow.
Recurve, Compound and Crossbow String Silencers
String silencers can be used to reduce noise on any type of bow, but typically they require the ability to remove the string from the bow in order to install them. Keep this in mind before deciding to use one
How to install Best bow string silencers
The installation of bow string silencers can vary depending on the type of silencer and the bow it is being installed on. Generally, the process involves removing the string from the bow and attaching the silencer to the string. Here are the general steps for installing a bow string silencer:
First, remove the string from the bow. This can be done by either unstringing the bow or by carefully cutting the string.
Next, attach the silencer to the string. This can be done by threading the string through the silencer or by tying the silencer onto the string.
Once the silencer is securely attached to the string, re-string the bow. Make sure that the silencer is positioned correctly on the string and that it is not in the way of the arrow or the bow’s components.
Finally, test the bow to ensure that it is working properly and that the silencer is effectively reducing string noise.
It’s important to read the instructions that come with the silencer you purchase, as the instructions may vary depending on the specific product.
The optimal placement for a string silencer on a compound bow is typically 2-3 inches from the tip, where the cam meets the string. On a recurve bow, due to the longer string, the best location is usually around 10 inches from the limb tip. However, since all bows have different brace heights and AMO lengths, it’s important to experiment to find the most effective spot. Avoid installing silencers in the middle of the string as this can add drag, slowing down the string speed and overall bow and shot speed. Additionally, some compound archers also install string silencers on the buss cables, as they can also contribute to noise on certain bows
Installing a bow string silencer is a straightforward process, but it can vary depending on the type of bow you have. To begin, you need to unstring your bow and take one end of the silencer and place it between the string strands. Some bows may require a bow press to dismantle or reassemble them, so make sure you have the proper tools for your specific bow. Once the silencer is in place, wrap any excess string or material around the string to prevent it from obstructing your motions when aiming. Keep in mind that some string silencers come with specific instructions for installation, so make sure to read them before you begin. Additionally, not all string silencers are compatible with every type of bow, so make sure you choose a suitable one for your compound bow.
What To Look For When Purchasing A Bow Silencer For Your Compound Bow?
When choosing a best string silencers for compound bow, it’s important to prioritize performance over appearance or price. Opt for a lightweight and unobtrusive silencer that effectively dampens oscillation. Consider the compatibility of the silencer with your bow type and string size. It’s also important to check the durability and ease of installation of the silencer. Research the product and read reviews to ensure that it is the best option for your specific compound bow.
As a hunter, it is important to have a quiet bow in order to successfully make a kill. With so many options available for both compound and recurve bows, there is no excuse for a loud bow. Researching different types of string silencers, such as LimbSaver Broadband Limb Dampeners, Sims LimbSaver S-Coil Stabilizer, TruGlo Deadenair String Dampeners, Bowjax Ultra Jax String Dampeners, and String Leeches, can help you find the perfect fit for your bow and shooting style. Remember, every bow and archer is unique, and it may take some time and practice to find the best setup for you, including the use of a drop away arrow rest, regular arrow rest, bow mounted quiver, and type of bow sight. To become an excellent bowhunter, it is essential to minimize noise as much as possible. | weapons_science |

Dating to approximately 300,000 BC it shows the world’s oldest wooden spear. It was discovered in a deep opencast mine at Schöningen, Germany during an archaeological excavation carried out by Dr. Hartmut Thieme.
In total eight of these Palaeolithic spears were recovered during the excavation, along with the bones of at least 15 horses and a large number of stone tools. Many of the horse bones had evidence for butchery marks suggesting that the remains of a very ancient hunting site had been uncovered.
The spears were fashioned out of spruce wood (with one exception made from pine) and measured between 1.82m to 2.50m long by between 3 and 5cm in diameter. They were carefully carved from tip to base so that the weight and tapered point was towards the front of the spear making it fly straighter, similar to the design of a modern javelin. This indicates that they were probably used as projectile weapons rather than for stabbing and thrusting.

The show is a military drama about an Ohio-class ballistic missile submarine (SSBN) that defies orders to launch its nuclear weapons against Pakistan. It’s an intriguing premise with a long lineage – Crimson Tide, the opening scene of War Games, and, in the inverse, Dr. Strangelove and Fail Safe. Last Resort’s predecessors have varying degrees of plausibility and until the season premieres on September 27th, we won’t know what geopolitical circumstances the writers have cooked up to make a strike on Pakistan worthwhile.
An astute student of international relations would pose a number of juicy questions: What redline did Pakistan cross to warrant a nuclear attack? How would Pakistan respond to such an attack by its nominal ally? How would India respond? Or China? Or Russia? Or the rest of the Islamic world?
With only medium range ballistic missiles, Pakistan doesn’t have the capability to launch a serious attack on American forces or the homeland. The typical target of Pakistani ire is India and U.S. involvement in such a conflict would be limited to diplomatic efforts at de-escalation and preventing a wider war.
The most realistic redline would be the proliferation of Pakistani nuclear weapons to a terrorist organization. This scenario poses an even greater question: if the weapons were stolen, would the U.S. respond in the same way as if they were given or sold? It seems likely that it would. To deter a state like Pakistan from giving away its nukes or skimping on security for them, the U.S. has to promise devastation, doesn’t it? Or is there some other reason beyond U.S. retaliation that would compel the Pakistani military to safeguard its arsenal? The fear that terrorists might attack the Pakistani state with stolen nukes might provide adequate reason.
The Pakistani Response
If the U.S. strikes Pakistan, it can kiss future counter-terrorism cooperation “goodbye,” but that would probably be a moot point anyway. Pakistan’s response options are limited. It could give weapons to terrorists if it hadn’t already, though that would be tricky with no guarantees of how they would use them. In a time of weakness it might consider striking India to exert escalation dominance, but that seems unlikely. In a nuclear exchange, India would fare much better than Pakistan. It might call on China, another nominal ally, to flex and deter the U.S. from additional strikes. Depending on what else is going on in the world, it’s unlikely China would be willing to tangle with the U.S. head-on. Instead, China would play the same role as the U.S. during a South Asian conflict – mediating and pressing for de-escalation.
China and Russia
An attack on Pakistan would not directly threaten these two countries, but depending on the size of the strike, the launch vehicles used (ICBMs, bombers, or just sub-launched Tridents), and the intended targets there are a couple problems. The first is misperception – will China and Russia be able to recognize that the strike against Pakistan is limited to Pakistan? The second is political – does the use of nuclear weapons against terrorists in Pakistan mean China can use them against its own Uighurs? Or Russia against Chechens? In other words, will the taboo hold?
The Good Stuff
The plot of Last Resort, despite its inevitable shortcomings in terms of geopolitical reality, does offer audiences a lesson in positive and negative control of nuclear weapons. Positive control – always using nukes when you want to – and negative control – never using nukes when you don’t want to – have an inherent tension. For more positive control you have to yield some negative control and vice versa. Adding layers of security to prevent weapons from being stolen or fired accidentally makes them harder to fire intentionally. Alternatively, making weapons easier to use increases the chances they will be launched inadvertently or without proper command and control authority. Too much of one or the other could both weaken and bolster deterrence. The trick is knowing which to do when and by how much.
I’m counting the days until Last Resort premieres, but I’m not going to hold my breath that writer Shawn Ryan (The Shield) gets the geopolitics right. Still, it may be good television (I liked Red Dawn, after all) and given the other twist in the plot – they end up on a Pacific island ala Lost – the cast will be pleasing to watch splashing around in the surf. | weapons_science |

All Clockwork weapons are masterwork – IN THE WORKS
A Clockwork Stringer is essentially a more complex crossbow. It uses tension, springs, and pullies along with some cleaver gear-work to shoot smaller bolts with nearly the force of a traditional crossbow. However, the stinger can holds two bolts and can fire them in succession before reloading, or fire them both at the same target. The Stinger requires a full round action to reload.

The main reason is the versatility of the weapon. You can use it for self-defense, hunting, as a tool, cooking, and eating. For those reasons, you should consider long and hard what kind of survival knife you’re going to choose to have in your arsenal of tools.
Imagine that you’re all alone in the woods going days without food. Right there you see a small mammal. Or imagine that you need to go through the trees to find water on the other side. In many situations, you’re going to need a tool that you’ll help you cut through things to survive.
That’s what made me think, should a survival knife be serrated? A survival knife should be serrated if you need to cut harder objects and things that would be tougher for you to cut through. Now, if you’re dealing with a softer surface, a plain edge knife may be the best option since it won’t damage the object or destroy it at once.
In most cases, a survival knife will be more versatile for you if it’s serrated. In the majority of survival situations, you’ll encounter harder materials such as ropes, tree branches, animal skin and meat, and wood. These are all objects that will be better cut with a serrated knife. For this reason, the best option for you will be to have a serrated edge knife, if you have to choose.
Now, it’s important to keep in mind that there’ll be a few occasions in which you’ll be better off with a plain edge knife. Soft materials will fall apart and not handle well the serrated edge. In this case, the plain edge knife will be able to cut through the material with precision and ease. This is why it’s a great idea to have both knives if you can.
So, your survival knife should be serrated in most cases. If you want to know all the advantages of going with the serrated edge for a survival situation and what situations would be better handled with a plain edge knife, keep reading below. You will learn everything you need to consider before choosing your survival knife. After all, once SHTF, you won’t be able to choose another knife. So, pick one carefully and do it well.
It Gives You More Control While Cutting
When you’re using a tool or a weapon, which the survival knife will be both, you must have control of it at all times. It’s important that you know what you’re doing to make sure that you don’t get yourself hurt, and that you don’t lose control over the blade and cut things the wrong way. It’s also important to maintain things under control when you’re hunting, otherwise, things won’t go as planned.
Now, this is when the serrated knife gets interesting. It gives you more control while cutting things. The serrated edge makes it easier for you to control the object that you’re cutting with the knife. It’s like it makes it easier for you to make the knife an extension of your hands. This way, you can better control whatever it is that you’re cutting. Things won’t slip as easy and will remain under your control, so you cut things safely.
When you’re cutting slippery surfaces, the serrated knife will become even more useful to you. It allows you to have a firmer grip over the material that you’re cutting. This will be extra handy when you’re trying to clean the meat that you hunted or trying to cut a hard object. As you can see, this is one of the main advantages of using a serrated knife, and you should give it special consideration for it.
So, consider the serrated edge survival knives for the control that it’ll give you over the material that you’re cutting. It will reduce your chances of getting hurt and increase your efficiency while cutting anything.
It Cuts Hard Object Easily
Another thing that you should consider about the serrated edge knife is that it cuts hard objects easily. It not only gives you more control while cutting anything, but it also makes it easier for you to cut hard objects. A plain edge knife will make it extra hard for you to cut anything that has a hard surface. It may even feel like the blade is blunt when it isn’t.
This is why you should consider having a serrated edge knife since it’s more likely for you to encounter hard objects in a survival situation.
Still, you should consider your strategy before anything else. A good idea would be to choose a knife that has both kinds of blades. It’s not that hard to find models that come with both a serrated and a plain edge. This is the perfect world if you want to make sure that you’ll have a knife that will cut through anything that you may need. You should look for blades that have a high-quality metal and not just the type of blade that will work better for you.
Now the point is that you should give preference to the serrated edge if you want to have the perfect survival knife. When you’re in an SHTF situation, you’re more likely to need something to cut hard objects than you’re to encounter soft objects. For this reason, you’ll see that the serrated edge knife is more useful to you in 99% of the time. The Pocket Knife Multi-Tool is a great knife with both edges. Get yours here.
You Can Use It To Eat
Another use for a survival knife that people fail to remember even though it’s obvious, it’s to use the knife to eat. Now, you may eat with your bare hands, but having the serrated edge knife will make things easier for you. So, using the knife to eat, the serrated knife will be better to cut the meat and other food, unlike the plain edge knife.
Now, it’s important to point out that you shouldn’t use the same knife to cut the rope, hunt the animal, prepare the food, and eat the meal. There’s a good chance that you’ll get a bacterial infection or something similar in the process. In the ideal situation, you prep so well beforehand that you have more than one option of knives to use in a survival situation. Even a multi-tool can be your best friend in this situation, so make sure to think these things through before picking your knife.
Now, it is also important to highlight that the greater risk that you take is to use the same knife to prepare the meal and to eat it. The reason is that depending on the animal that you’ve hunted, there’s a chance that it’s carrying bacteria. This will make you more likely to get something from the knife that too the skin and hair off the animal than the knife that you’ve used to cut a rope.
So, make sure to think about having more than one knife and to separate the use that you give them. It’s important to not mess this up since it can affect your health. Remember you may not find a doctor in this situation.
It’s A Good Idea To Have Both
Now, even though the serrated knife is the best for a survival knife, you could consider have both types of knife. There are two ways that you can do this. You can have a knife that has both types of blades, which is not that hard to find. Or you can have more than one knife. This is another interesting option that you should consider since it will make your prepping strategy that much better. The whole point is to be prepared for everything. Having both blades is doing exactly that.
If you decide to go to a place, or find yourself there, that gives you the possibility of fishing, you’ll see that it’s a terrible idea to cut a fish to cook or to eat with a serrated knife. The meat will fall apart and make things the worse for you. This is when having a plain edge knife will be great. To open cans is also better to use the plain edge knife. Now, for the other moments when the plain edge knife won’t do, you will need the serrated edge knife.
Those situations and many others illustrate the same point. Your strategy won’t be completed if you only have a type of knife. If you must, you should only have the serrated knife. Still, having both blades will make your whole prepping game that much better. After all, you’ll find yourself in situations where only one type of blade will do it. That’s when having two or more knives may save your life.
Serrated Edges Cut Ropes And Cloth Better
One more advantage that the serrated edge has over the plain edge is that it cuts ropes and cloth better. Not only that but all the other similar objects like wire, threads, and anything that you can imagine. If you need to cut through something to open or release something, chances are that you will have better luck with the serrated survival knife. This kind of blade can get a better grip over the objects and tear it apart while you’re moving to cut it.
Imagine that you need to create a tourniquet or that you need to cut a rope to knot something. Those are the crucial moments that you’ll see that having a serrated edge knife will save your life and increase your chances of survival. It’s important to keep this in mind, so you remember that you must have a serrated edge knife as a survival knife no matter what. You can also have a plain edge knife, but you must have a serrated one.
So, make sure to have a serrated knife to also cut through cloth and ropes. Just be careful not to make the blade blunt. Certain cloth and paper do make the blade blunt when you need to cut harder objects or things like animal meat. The reason is that you need a really sharp blade to cut meat and hard objects, so anything can make the knife blunt enough to not cut those things. Just make sure to keep the knife in a sheath, and you’ll be good to go.
Pick Stainless Steel Blades
This is a very important thing for you to keep in mind. You should get a knife with stainless steel blades. This will prevent the knife from rusting, which will make it last longer and safer for you while using it. Rust will bring bacteria, which will contaminate your food and anything that the knife cuts. Especially, your skin if you ever cut it with a rusty knife. In a survival situation, this is not a problem that you want to have.
The first thing that you should do is to check if the blade is of high-quality metal. Then, see if it is stainless steel. The goal is to make sure that the knife is durable and resistant. These are the two most important things that you should know about the knife. You won’t be able to buy a new one as you please or ask for a refund. So, you must choose your blade well. There’ll be no do-overs.
Now, stainless steel blades are usually the best because they’ll ensure that the knife lasts a long time. Also, this usually means that the manufacturer made sure to make a resistant knife. This is all that you need in your survival knife. Make sure that is serrated and stainless steel.
So, pick a model that will fit into your prepping strategy and that checks those boxes. If you’re looking for the right stainless steel, serrated knife, you should look the Gerber Bear Grylls Ultimate Knife. It checks all the boxes and won’t let you down. Cut straight to this great item here.
Learn How To Make Your Knife
Learning to make your own knife is an invaluable skill to have. There might be a situation in which you lose everything you have. In this case, you will need to know how to make your own tools. Knowing how to make your knife with whatever you have available is crucial to surviving under any circumstance. You can learn how to make a knife within a few minutes. Although you will need more than that to make a perfect model of a survival knife.
Usually, rocks and metal pieces are great things to use as blades. They’re relatively easy to find no matter where you are in the world, and you can sharpen them and mold them quite easily. You will need to learn how to effectively do this first, and then, learn what tools to use to make the blade. Once you do this, you will pretty much know how to make the blade. Then, you have to learn how to make the handle.
This part is the easiest one. You will need something like a plastic or a piece of wood. To attach the blade to it, you will need a rope or a wire. Anything that helps you keep the blade in place. This way you’ll have your handmade knife in minutes. Then, all you have to do is to test and see if it’s as sharp as you need your survival knife to be.
So, just make sure that your knife works and that the blade remains in place. Otherwise, you won’t be able to cut things and use the survival knife for what it’s intended for.
Learn How To Make It Sharp
Imagine that you’re out there hunting a small mammal. You set up everything you need to capture the creature and wait your moment to attack. On you capture the animal and are ready to skin it and cut the meat, your knife does nothing. No matter how much you try to cut, it just doesn’t do anything.
Now, imagine that you need to cut a rope to create a tool to make your life easier in the wilderness. You try to cut the rope but nothing happens. It remains intact. Both scenarios are the classical blunt knife ones.
This is why you should always learn how to sharpen your knife. Not only that but you should make sure that you do sharpen your knife every once in a while. The first step to ensure that you always have a sharp knife is to keep it in a sheath. This will avoid the blade to get in contact with things that will make it blunt. Then, you must get the right tools that help keep the knife sharp. This is crucial to make sure that your knife will cut when you need it the most.
So, learn how to make the knife sharp. This, along with learning how to make the knife, are invaluable skills to have. A survival knife is one of the most important tools that you can have in your survival arsenal. It will help you get through most situations that can happen.
Don’t Use The Same Knife For Everything
You should never use the same knife for everything. As much as you may think about sterilizing the blade, it’s still not a good idea. The best that you can do is to use more than one knife. This is also a great idea to get a serrated blade and a plain one. This will ensure that you have a knife for everything. After all, in a survival situation, you’ll encounter different scenarios like cooking and cutting wood.
Now, make sure that both knives that you end up choosing are of high-quality. You need a tool that will last a long time and that can resist all the situations you might face. The knife has to be able to cut wood and meat. It has to cut your way through the woods and help you cut cloth and rope.
So, choose more than one knife. Make sure that it’s durable and resistance. Pick both types of blades to make sure that you’re ready for everything. If you already selected a serrated knife, you should take a look into plain edge knife options. The Gerber Bear Fine Edge is the best survival knife with this type of blade. Take a look here.
Learn Knife Fighting 101
A knife is more than just a tool. It’s also a weapon. Now, you can’t have a weapon that you don’t know how to use. Otherwise, you’ll have something useless that won’t be able to help you when you need it. This is why you must learn knife fighting 101. You have to learn the basics of fighting with a knife.
The first thing that you should do is to get a tactical knife. The reason is simple. This type of knife is built for this. The handle is strong and resistant. The blades are sharp and durable. It fits really well in your grip and helps you make the right movements.
So, pick a great tactical knife, and you’ll win half the battle. Then, all you’ll need is to learn how to fight with one. The Kershaw Blur Tanto Knife is the best tactical knife that you’ll see. Check it out here.
So, your survival knife should be serrated. Still, you should seriously consider having more than one, and in this case, have a plain edge knife as well. Both are going to serve really well for you and get the job done. You’ll use the serrated edge knife more but the other one will be useful as well.
Also, remember to always keep the blade sharp and make sure that you get a stainless steel one. Learn how to use the knife for all the different functions that you can apply it. Remember that it is a tool and a weapon, so use it well. | weapons_science |

India will purchase fighter jets, transport planes, drones and missile defense systems from American military manufacturers including Lockheed Martin. The U.S. government is seeking India as an ally to counter the rise of China and Russia’s military strength in the Indo-Pacific region. Proponents argue that the agreement is necessary to counter China and Russia’s influence and the agreement will generate billions of dollars in revenue for U.S. military defense contractors. Opponents argue that the agreement will encourage China and Russia to beef up their militaries and trigger a global arms race.
Leave the decision to the companies.
Yes India is a close ally to the us and we need to secure this stance by remaining an integral part of there military defense otherwise the tendrils of China’s influence will continue to move through our allies risking our global position
Yes, but only with strict regulations and cooperation agreements, selling military weapons to foreign countries will help boost the economy. Diplomacy and peaceful resolution should always be the first course of action.
No, if history has taught us anything it has taught us that we should not sell military weapons to foreign countries as they can be used against us later. We should increase diplomatic efforts and offer to support our allies, but do not arm them unless we are actively fighting with them.

Today we continue to tell you about various game aspects in the weekly Encyclopedia segment.
If you think that we are telling the obvious things it means that you are truly an experienced Commander! You have done a great job coming this far and the recruits who join our ranks every day still have a long way to catch up to you. From our side, we will do everything possible to make sure that our Encyclopedia really helps everyone on this difficult path.
So this week’s letter is B and this time we will tell you about Ballistic weapons!
So, ballistics is one of the weapon types in the Space Arena, the other two are Missiles and Lasers, we will tell more about them later. The ballistic weapon is the first weapon type that each commander encounters when entering the game. The ballistic weapons class includes any dynamic weapon, simply speaking – it’s about any weapon that fires metal projectiles without an explosive factor. There are two sub-types of ballistic weapons that can be identified: rapid-fire cannons, which inflicts continuous damage at short and medium distances, sniper cannons, which deal huge amounts of damage from a long distance, and burst cannons with short-range, massive damage, and a lot of projectiles.
Ballistic damage is blocked by shields but at the same time, it is an effective means for shield destruction. Ballistic damage is generally ineffective against armor. The perfect weapon to destroy unprotected modules. Some types of ballistic weapons have a penetrating damage rate, such modules inflict damage not only to the affected module but also to the modules located behind it. The distribution of penetrating damage is as follows: the first module receives 100% of the damage if the armor indicator itself is not considered; the value specified in the characteristic of penetrating damage, in the case of a Quantum gun it’s 55% of the base damage, each subsequently affected module receives a proportionally decreasing amount of damage, that is: 1 – 100%, 2 – 55%, 3 – 22.5%, and so on. At the moment, the best defense module against ballistic weapons is the Ballistic Armor. The best protective mean against penetrating damage is Plasma Armor.
That’s all for today, we are looking forward to your feedback on the segment and your suggestions on what we should cover with the next week’s letter which is a letter C!
We wish you a great day and bright victories!

Most people haven’t found the right arrow for them yet. Some say that it’s because they haven’t figured out the right weight yet. The more optimal the spine and weight of your arrow are, the better that you will be able to use the arrow to your advantage.
The arrow spine measures the bend or the flex of the arrow. When you allow the arrow to take flight from your bow, it will flex. The moment that it is already in the air, it will straighten. If the arrow spine isn’t too good, you will make the arrow fly poorly and you do not want that. When you choose an arrow that is too weak, this can be problematic for you too.
There are some things that you should remember:
Remember that the better your spine is, the more accurate you will be whenever you would use your chosen arrow.
Arrow manufacturers would have their calculations of the weight of the arrows they produce. They would put the weight in GPI. This is also known as grains per inch. There are different variables available such as the following:
You may be wondering what materials are normally used to create arrows. These are the most common arrow materials used:
Some manufacturers would be using different mixtures of the available materials to achieve the weight that they want. Remember that arrow weight will also include the different components like the fletchings and inserts that you need to use for your bow and arrow.
You should also pay attention to the “Front-of-Center” also known as FOC. This is the balance point of the shaft. This will also provide you with details about how much weight can be seen on the front end of the arrow. The arrow’s trajectory can also be significantly affected.
The weight of the different arrows will be as follows:
Some people would love to use arrows that are heavier than that. You can use up to 700 grains but this is only advisable if you are not using traditional shooting equipment.
One of the best reasons why you should think about arrow weight is you need to stay safe while you are using the arrow. The arrow shafts should be heavy to absorb the energy of your bow whenever you release the arrow.
Some guidelines are available when choosing the right arrow weight. If you would choose an arrow that is too light, it may cause some injuries and you do not want that too. Choosing an arrow that is too heavy will not be as problematic as a light arrow but your shooting distance will be compromised.
The more that you know about arrows and their arrow weight, the more that you can make the right decision.
Expect that light arrows will be fun to work with. They are normally flat and they are also fast. They can be ideal if you need to shoot a target immediately.
You should know that heavy arrows will be more effective if you are trying to look for bigger animals to hunt.
The more that you know about the pros and cons of the arrows, the better your choice is going to be.
Now is your chance to pick your arrow. You can base it on the weight although there are still different things that you need to think about. The bow that you are using plus what you would like to hunt will make a difference on the arrow that you will choose. Are you ready to make the best decision soon? | weapons_science |

Some of the highest quality knife steels are produced from sintered powder which is heat treated to give high wear and corrosion resistant martensitc stainless steel. An example is CPM S30V which is produced by Crucible Industries. Its chemistry promotes the formation and even distribution of vanadium carbides, which are harder and more effective at cutting than chromium carbides. These vanadium carbides give the steel a very refined grain, further improving the sharpness and toughness. Its composition is as follows: Carbon 1.45%, Chromium 14.00%, Vanadium 4.00%, Molybdenum 2.00%. CPM S30V is considered a premium grade knife steel and is largely used in higher-end production and custom knives. Buck Knives calls it "the absolute best blade steel available". Joe Talmadge claims it might be the ultimate high-end all-around stainless steel, due to high performance coupled with easier machinability and sharpenability than the other steels in this class | weapons_science |

That's a 9+1 Mod 2 and G27 and a 6+1 Shield and CW45.
If Kahr made an all steel MK45 or K45, I'd carry that. Right now I EDC a K40. I have owned a Shield 9mm, 40s&w, 45acp, and Shield Plus. The Shield and feel of the 45 Shield is the best IMHO. I put a mag through a friend of mine's XDS 45 several years ago, but didn't like it. I wanted one until I fired his. The Shield is way more softer shooting. I'm not a fan of Glocks, so the G27 was never on my radar.
xd...you are spot on. The Shield's feel the best, I agree. I have no issues with them in any caliber. The CW45 is the reason I'm thinking about the XD-S. I've had nothing but issues with the CW45. It refused to go into battery without that extra push. I reduced the extractor spring force but taking about 0.02" off the spring rod. I won't settle for less than 100% reliability. I then upped the main recoil spring to 20 lbs. that too has helped. Lastly, I went to a higher charge of Power Pistol in my reloads. Pulling the trigger on the CW45 is like a mini nuke blast. Last range session was close to 100%.
My G27 is my only Glock. If Gaston made a 45 in the G27 frame, I'd be all over it, likewise my ideal gun is Kahr K45. I have it direct from Kahr CS there are no plans for a MK45 nor a K45. K40? I have the K40 Covert, that's a large slide on the MK40's small frame. I've only put a few rounds through it so it's not yet in the carry rotation.
I know what you mean about wanting the XD-S until you actually fired one. I had the same experience with a motorcycle. I lusted over a Honda Magna until I managed to test ride one. I didn't get into high gear before I decided there's no way I'd ride one of these things. Likewise, I fired my neighbor's SA P365, no thanks. That's why I asked about the dimension of the XD-S's muzzle. I don't want to spend the bucks for another 2 by 4 with a grip. | weapons_science |

BRAHMOS with its well-proven capabilities remains the ‘weapon of choice’ for the Indian Armed Forces. At the same time, the missile has continuously evolved by infusing more advanced features and cutting-edge technologies to meet divergent, highly complex conflict environments of modern times.
26 Jan, 2023
Astrong military force is indispensable for a peaceful, prosperous and stable nation. India’s all-round growth, prosperity and stability has been fortified by its growing military power and strength. The nation has swiftly marched ahead to build and sustain a highly modernised military force capable of decisively dealing with multi-faceted conflict situations of 21st century.
The combat readiness of Indian Armed Forces has been galvanized with the swift induction of cutting-edge military platforms, weapons and systems. Military modernisation goals have rightfully been aligned with indigenisation efforts to build an ‘Atma Nirbhar, Sashakt Bharat’.
As the most powerful deterrent weapon, supersonic cruise missile BRAHMOS has significantly strengthened India’s defence preparedness in modern times. The precision strike missile, actively deployed by all three Services of Indian military, has provided a formidable capability to strike down strategic enemy targets and positions from stand-off ranges across land, sea and air.
Developed as a Joint Venture (JV) military-technological programme involving India’s DRDO and Russia’s NPOM, the versatile BRAHMOS with its incredible ‘speed, precision, firepower, stealth & range’ matrix, has validated its supremacy to redefined modern warfare strategies and dynamics.
The universal BRAHMOS has carved a niche for itself by becoming India’s ultimate force multiplier asset to undertake modern network-centric warfare operations in highly complex war zones. Today, India is the only country in the world to actively deploy a “supersonic cruise missile triad.”
Since its maiden successful test firing conducted on June 12, 2001, the powerful tactical weapon has evolved and incorporated several technological advancements and other refinements to improve its operational and functional efficacy.
A series of successful test firings of the weapon conducted in 2022 from frontline ground, naval and air platforms of Indian military has reaffirmed the missile’s enhanced capabilities and ensured its superlative performance.
BRAHMOS AEROSPACE – the India-Russia JV entity designing and producing the universal BRAHMOS WEAPON SYSTEM – has steadily infused indigenous technologies and components in the missile system in close coordination with DRDO. The successful indigenisation programme has bolstered national security apparatus even while reducing the overall production, operation and maintenance costs of the powerful missile system.
“BRAHMOS with its well-proven capabilities remains the ‘weapon of choice’ for the Indian Armed Forces. At the same time, the missile has continuously evolved by infusing more advanced features and cutting-edge technologies to meet divergent, highly complex conflict environments of modern times.
As a ‘new-age’ weapon, BRAHMOS has immensely strengthened India’s deterrent power in 21st century,” says Shri Atul D Rane, Director General, BrahMos, DRDO and CEO & MD, BrahMos Aerospace.
The supersonic cruise missile in the meantime has also carved its global footprint by becoming India’s first full-scale weapon to receive a historic export order from the Republic of Philippines.
BrahMos Aerospace is all set to deliver the world’s ‘fastest and deadliest’ tactical weapon to a third party, friendly foreign customer nation, thereby heralding India’s landmark entry in the international arms market.

Kissaki was the Samurai sword point that determined the sword quality. Japanese swords changed over time, but the three main Samurai sword types were: Katana, Wakizashi and Tanto. The most powerful Samurai, Shogun, used the Katana and Wakizashi swords.
What are the samurai swords called?katana A katana (刀 or かたな) is a Japanese sword characterized by a curved, single-edged blade with a circular or squared guard and long grip to accommodate two hands. Developed later than the tachi, it was used by samurai in feudal Japan and worn with the blade facing upward.
What is a 2 handed katana called?The Odachi is a very large two-handed Japanese sword. The word Odachi roughly translated to field sword. Odachi look in many ways similar to a Tachi, however, they are significantly larger and longer. It is thought that that Odachi were carried by foot soldiers and were used primarily against mounted cavalry.
What is shorter than a katana?The wakizashi has a blade between 30 and 60 cm (12 and 24 in) in length. Wakizashi close to the length of a katana are called ō-wakizashi and wakizashi closer to tantō length are called ko-wakizashi.
What is the rarest samurai sword?Honjo Masamune The Honjo Masamune, a symbol of the Tokugawa shogunate and passed down from shōgun to shōgun, is perhaps the best known Masamune sword. Signed works of Masamune are rare.
What is the oldest samurai sword?Kogarasu Maru Amakuni is considered the father of the samurai sword, which makes the Kogarasu Maru the oldest samurai sword in Japan.
What is a straight Katana called?ninjatō The ninjatō is typically depicted as being a short sword, often portrayed as having a straight blade (similar to that of a shikomizue) with a square guard. Usually of a length less than 60 cm, the rest of the sword is comparatively thick, heavy and straight.
What is a giant Katana called?The ōdachi (大太刀) (large/great sword) or nodachi (野太刀, field sword) is a type of traditionally made Japanese sword (日本刀, nihontō) used by the samurai class of feudal Japan.
Why did samurai have 2 swords?According to most traditional kenjutsu schools, only one sword of the daisho would have been used in combat. However, in the first half of the 17th century, the famous swordsman Miyamoto Musashi promoted the use of a one-handed grip, which allowed both swords to be used simultaneously.
Are there any real samurai swords left?While the Kogarasu Maru may not have been the first sword created by Amakuni in the 8th century, it is the most famous one that still exists. Amakuni is considered the father of the samurai sword, which makes the Kogarasu Maru the oldest samurai sword in Japan.
Can you buy real katanas?In most places around the world, real katana swords are legal. Generally, most samurai swords dont require a special licence or permit to own.
The earliest swords looked nothing like the well-known katana, and were straight double-edged blades based on the Chinese Jian.
What is a Samurai sword sheath called?
However, the Japanese did not feel that this type of sword was good enough for combat and eventually, the first true samurai sword, the tachi, was created by a man named Amakuni. Tachi look similar to katana, but are not as curved. Since these samurai swords were skillfully crafted and handed down from one generation to the next, many early samurai swords still exist. While Masamune created numerous swords, the is considered his best work.
After the Honjo Masamune was acquired by Tokugawa Ieyasu, the sword was passed down from shogun to shogun. Even after the fall of the Tokugawa shogunate, the Honjo Masamune stayed with the Tokugawa family and during the War it was owned by Tokugawa Iemasa. Unfortunately, after Japan surrendered, the Allied Forces demanded the noble families turn over their swords.
To this day, no one knows where the Honjo Masamune is itbut Japan is still hoping that the sword will turn up. Onimaru Kunitsuna Year Created: c. Hōjō Tokiyori, the regent of Kamakura, fell ill and was being haunted by a small demon.
Tokiyori dreamt of an old man who told him that he was his sword made by Kunitsuna and that he could get rid of the demon once it was cleaned.
After Tokiyori cleansed the sword, it magically fell out of its rack and sliced off the foot of the nearby brazier.
The foot was shaped like a demon and Tokiyori was never haunted again. The Onimaru Kunitsuna became a prized treasure of the Hōjō family and ended up with the Ashikaga family, who also valued the sword. The sword was given to Nichiren by his most important patron Nanbu Sanenaga, who wanted Nichiren to use the sword for protection. Aoe Tsunetsugu, who was a swordsmith during the early 13 th century, is often credited with creating the Juzumaru-Tsunetsugu.
However, the Juzumaru shows some differences in its workmanship compared to other Aoe Tsunetsugu swords. Also, the signature on the Juzumaru is on the other side of where Aoe would have typically singed his swords. The Juzumaru-Tsunetsugu may have actually been made by the Tsunetsugu at the Ko-Bizen smith and date back to the late 12 th century.
Originally, the Ōtenta-Mitsuyo belonged to the Ashikaga family and was passed down from shogun to shogun. The Ōtenta-Mitsuyo, another Tenka-Goken sword, the Onimaru-Kunitsuna, and the now lost Futatsumei-Norimune were the three treasure swords of Ashikaga Takauji. Eventually, the three swords were passed down to Toyotomi Hideyoshi for unifying Japan. According to legend the Ōtenta-Mitsuyo ended up with the Maeda family when Hideyoshi offered it What are the 3 samurai swords called?
Maeda Toshiie to fight the evil forces that made his daughter Gō. Since then, the Ōtenta-Mitsuyo has been closely guarded by the Maeda family. Mikazuki Munechika Year Created: c. This tachi style samura sword was created by Sanjô Munechika and was named for its crescent moon shape mikazuki.
Over its long history, the Mikazauki Munechika has been owned by several important Japanese families. During the mid-16 th century, the Mikazuki Munechika and the sword was used by shogun Ashikaga Yoshiteru to defend himself until he died during an attack on the palace by the Miyoshi family. The sword, along with What are the 3 samurai swords called?
Ashikaga treasures, was taken by Miyohsi Masayasu.
What is a short samurai sword called?
The Mikazuki Munechika was passed down a few more times before it was owned by the Tokugawa family. Dōjigiri Yasutsuna Year Created: c. The Dōjigiri was created by Yasutsuna of Hōki, who built upon the work of his predecessor Amakuni, who forged the first true samurai sword. According to historians, the craftsmanship of the Dōjigiri is so impeccable that it.
The Dōjigiri Yasutsuna got its name after Minamoto no Yorimitsu used the sword to kill the thieving demon, Shutendōji.
Today, the Dōjigiri is displayed at the Tokyo National Museum. Kogarasu Maru Year Created: c. Amakuni is considered the father of the samurai sword, which makes the Kogarasu Maru the oldest samurai sword in Japan.
According to legend, Amakuni and his son Amakura, who were responsible for making swords for the Army, asked the Shinto gods for help after the What are the 3 samurai swords called? was upset that his warriors kept returning from war with broken swords.
The gods inspired Amakuni to make the perfect sword, a single-edged slightly curved sword. | weapons_science |

Since the existence of the second amendment, Americans have been making and modifying their own guns. Hundreds of years of tradition and history have made the practice a cultural staple here in the US. Although this freedom is coveted and extremely well protected, the manufacturing and sale of deadly weapons have been controlled very strictly within the last few decades by the federal government in order to better protect the American people. Regardless of new and heavy regulations, it remains entirely legal for a person to build their own gun. Additionally, if someone decides to manufacture their own gun within their home, they are not required to register the weapon or have a gun license.
Although the practice of building one’s own gun within one’s own home has always been legal it is hardly a practical option considering the modern technology used to produce precision firearms. The technology used to build guns in the modern era are highly automated and computerized, leaving little room for human error. Many average American citizens do not have the sort of access to this technology that manufacturing a gun would require. Although this may be true, newer and more advanced technology such as 3D printers and partial receivers allow for a much easier process by which average citizens may be able to manufacture their own guns with even greater success.
The component of the firearm which contains the entirety of the mechanical pieces within the gun and also functions to fire the bullet is called a “receiver”. By purchasing a finished receiver, it allows a person to build a gun by simply adding the necessary components to the premade receiver and compiling the components together. The required components to add to the receiver include the barrel, stock, magazine, and trigger mechanism. Finished receivers in particular are indeed regulated by the federal government and require purchasing the item through a licensed firearms dealer as well as a licence to own the receiver and a background check.
On the other hand, an unfinished receiver or “ghost gun” or “partial receiver” cannot be trace and does not require any registration of the weapon or a background check in order to purchase one. It is similar to a finished receiver although the difference being that it comes without certain components that allow them to remain unregulated by the federal government since it cannot be classified as a firearm. These partial receivers are legally sold throughout the country both online and in person.
New Jersey Regulation
In more recent times, modern technology and methods can make regulation a very difficult issue. Ghost guns may allow criminals and underground organization much more freedom to do as they please because of untraceable and unregulated weapons, which may pose a real threat to society. On the other hand, this freedom to build homemade guns has been legal for centuries and making this process illegal could possibly have harsh political repercussions. As always the safety of the people should come first regardless of what that may require.

Ballistic Marvels: Unraveling the Science
Infinite Horizons: Theoretical Considerations
Theoretically, the range of a centerfire bullet seems boundless, dictated by the laws of physics and the initial velocity imparted upon firing. However, the practical range is substantially influenced by various factors, transforming the seemingly infinite into a nuanced reality.
External Factors: Winds, Gravity, and More
As a centerfire bullet embarks on its trajectory, it contends with external elements that redefine its course. The capricious nature of wind, the unrelenting force of gravity, and atmospheric conditions collectively mold the bullet’s journey, introducing an element of unpredictability.
Limiting Factors: Constraints on Distance
Terminal Ballistics: Understanding Terminal Range
The terminal range marks the point where a centerfire bullet’s velocity diminishes to the extent that it can no longer inflict substantial damage. This critical juncture, often influenced by the caliber and design of the bullet, establishes a tangible limit to its effective range.
Effective Engagement: Balancing Accuracy and Power
While the theoretical range might extend into significant distances, the practical engagement range narrows down as accuracy and stopping power become paramount considerations. Factors like bullet weight and aerodynamics play pivotal roles in maintaining effectiveness over distances.
Caliber Matters: The Influence of Firearm Specifications
Diverse Calibers: A Spectrum of Possibilities
The range of centerfire bullets is not a one-size-fits-all scenario; rather, it evolves with the diverse array of calibers available. From smaller, swift projectiles to larger, more robust ones, each caliber imparts its unique characteristics to the bullet’s trajectory.
Precision Instruments: Long-Range Firearms
Certain firearms, tailored for precision shooting and equipped with specialized barrels and optics, extend the effective range of centerfire bullets. Long-range shooting enthusiasts often explore the upper limits, pushing the boundaries of conventional engagement distances.
Ethical Considerations: Balancing Power and Responsibility
Moral and Legal Implications: Defining Ethical Boundaries
While exploring the potential distance a centerfire bullet can cover, the discussion invariably leads to ethical considerations. Responsible firearm usage entails not only understanding the technicalities but also respecting legal and moral boundaries governing shooting activities.
Conclusion: Navigating the Bullet’s Odyssey
In conclusion, the question of how far can a centerfire bullet travel delves into a realm where science, technology, and ethics intersect. The intricacies of ballistics, external influences, and firearm specifications collectively shape the trajectory of these projectiles. As enthusiasts and experts navigate this multifaceted landscape, they grapple with the delicate balance between pushing the limits of engagement and embracing the responsibility that accompanies wielding such powerful tools. | weapons_science |

Signatories are legally bound to avoid engaging in any nuclear weapons activities, including, but not limited to, the development, testing, stockpiling or use of nuclear weapons. They are also obliged to assist individuals affected by nuclear weapons-related activities and engage in environmental remediation efforts in areas under their jurisdiction contaminated by these activities.
The humanitarian and environmental impact of nuclear weapons testing, detonations and accidents has become a topic of renewed interest within the past decade. Since 1950, at least 32 nuclear weapons accidents, known as “broken arrows,” have been reported, the effects of which have ranged from moderate to severe, and sometimes even fatal. The catastrophic consequences of intentionally detonating nuclear weapons are even greater cause for concern, as proven by the destruction, death and long-term residual effects of the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombings in 1945.
Modern nuclear weapons are exponentially more powerful than those used in 1945, with the potential for massive, widespread devastation. Recently, America began building a massive nuclear weapon with a destructive power twenty times greater than the atomic bomb that devastated Hiroshima. With approximately $100 billion invested into this acquisition alone, the prevalence and threat of nuclear weapons is an issue of global concern. The future of humanity and the environment is threatened by the existence of these weapons, making nuclear disarmament a critical objective for survival. Entry into force of the TPNW has been a major leap forward in this direction and must be acted upon globally to secure humanity’s future.
This momentous event was celebrated by Mines Action Canada, Non-Violence International Canada, and Washington Against Nuclear Weapons Coalition with the Salish Sea Photo Action event. Residents of British Columbia and Washington State were encouraged to submit photos publicly expressing their opposition to nuclear weapons, particularly in the Salish Sea, which is currently home to one of the world’s largest stockpiles of nuclear weapons. The waters are also frequently traversed by nuclear-armed submarines, creating a perilous situation for residents in the event of detonation. Dr. Erica Frank, NextGenU.org’s Founder, participated in this photo action event and was featured in the photo collage, on the top.

The entry into force of TPNW is the result of 75 years of activism focusing on the humanitarian impact of nuclear weapons. While this occasion is a major victory representing advancement towards a world free of nuclear weapons, work still remains until the complete eradication of nuclear weapons can be achieved. The team at NextGenU.org supports this initiative and applauds Dr. Erica Frank for another exemplary display of activism on this critical health and justice issue. It is the hope of our organization that acts like these will truly assist in the global elimination of nuclear weapons and create a brighter future for humanity. | weapons_science |

This rifle lacks the forward assist and dust cover, which were later added to the MP-15 Sport II rifle.
It comes with a 10-round magazine, but accepts standard 20-round and 30-round magazines.
As with a lot of guns, I got this used, so I can't tell you the round count. Nor have I gotten around to shooting this yet.

I have parts on order to replace the bullet button with a standard magazine release. But with the currently Corona virus supply-chain disruption, I don't know if/when those parts will arrive.
A bullet button is a device used to remove a magazine in a semiautomatic rifle, replacing the magazine release with a block which forces the user to remove the magazine by using a tool as opposed to his or her finger. This allows the rifle to comply with parts of California's firearms laws. The name came about in relation to a 1999 California law which said that a "bullet or ammunition cartridge is considered a tool."
The 2012 court case Haynie v Pleasanton validated that a bullet button is legal and rifles that have one installed are not considered assault weapons.
In 2016, California law was changed to prohibit the sales of firearms with bullet buttons.

#1: Smith & Wesson M&P-15 Sport
Smith & Wesson announced their M&P line of AR-15 rifles roughly six years ago catering to budget-minded shooters. Popular much? The Smith & Wesson M&P-15 Sport rifle review reigns supreme for TTAG traffic. In all that time we’ve never heard of a single dissatisfied customer. And we’ve heard from plenty who wouldn’t trade their gun for a pricier piece. The M&P-15 Sport is the dictionary definition of a “basic” rifle: good components, decent trigger, no forward assist. For newbie AR-15 owners or budget-minded buyers that’s really all you need.

M&P15 SPORT II MELTDOWN!
November 30, 2017
"In this much requested video, we take a Smith & Wesson M&P15 Sport to the breaking point."
To check out the rifle’s reliability, I ran the rifle for a week out at Gunsite Academy in Paulden, Arizona.
I spent the week putting rounds down range in arid, sandy, dusty conditions – begging the Smith & Wesson M&P15 Sport to show me that it needed a dust cover. I fired standing, kneeling, and from several variations of the prone position, including rollover-prone where the bolt of the rifle was less than two inches from the dust, rock, dirt, and grime the ejection process was kicking back up into the rifles action.
Did nastiness get in to the action? Ohh yeah it did. I made sure of that by peppering the rifle with a few small handfuls of Arizona high desert when the Smith and Wesson folks weren’t watching. By the end of the week I had one gritty feeling charging handle, one rough trigger, and one dirty as all-heck action. I was also holding a rifle that continued to function without a single hiccup.

Smith & Wesson M&P Sport II AR-15 Review: Great Budget Rifle Or Piece Of Junk? (HD)
January 30, 2017
"I've put right around 1,500 rounds through the Smith & Wesson M&P Sport II over the past few months. "
I got ahold of a Sport for T&E, with S&W understanding that I would be flogging the gun badly and reporting what I found. As noted in the Tac Wire article, I started out at a carbine course at my friend Buck Peddicord’s most excellent training facility at Defense Midwest. Since that time I have run the gun hard several more times, and currently have just under 1000 rounds through the gun.
I have run the Sport clean and dirty, including dumping sand, dirt and gravel directly onto the bolt through the ejection port. The bolt got very dirty and gritty even without me actively throwing crap onto it just due to shooting in hot, dry dusty conditions while training things like shooting from asymmetric prone.
The gun has functioned 100% so far, with Wolf 55 and 62gr FMJ and HP, Tula 55gr FMJ, Federal XM193 and XM855, Hornady custom 60gr 5.56 spec SP, Remington 55gr Core-Lokt SPs, and even some Silver Bear 55gr HPs that I had on hand that have oxidized cases and has choked every other AR I have tried it in.
I note that my test gun has the 1-9 twist barrel, and a melonite bore/chamber instead of a chromed bore. So far I don’t see this as an issue, and the melonite appears to give the chamber quite a bit of slickness to extract crappy or dirty ammo. I will note that the 1/9 twist is giving outstanding accuracy so far with M855 ammo.

Smith & Wesson M&P15 Sport
August 19, 2015
According to Smith & Wesson, in the comment section of hickok45's video:
The Barrel on the M&P15 Sport has a Maximum Corrosion Resistant Finish on the interior and exterior surfaces (Formally referenced as "Melonite"). Only the name of the process has changed, the process is the same as it always has been. Thanks S&W
Ferritic nitrocarburizing, also known by the proprietary names Tennifer/ Tenifer and Melonite, is a range of proprietary case hardening processes that diffuse nitrogen and carbon into ferrous metals at sub-critical temperatures during a salt bath. The processing temperature ranges from 525 °C (977 °F) to 625 °C (1,157 °F), but usually occurs at 565 °C (1,049 °F). At this temperature steels and other ferrous alloys are still in a ferritic phase, which is advantageous compared to other case hardening processes that occur in the austenitic phase. There are four main classes of ferritic nitrocarburizing: gaseous, salt bath, ion or plasma, and fluidized-bed.
The process is used to improve three main surface integrity aspects including scuffing resistance, fatigue properties, and corrosion resistance. It has the added advantage of inducing little shape distortion during the hardening process. This is because of the low processing temperature, which reduces thermal shocks and avoids phase transitions in steel.
Chrome-lined bores are actually coated and most companies are unable to do this uniformly. Nitriding does not add a coating, rather, it changes the surface properties by diffusing nitrogen and carbon into the metal surface to yield an extremely smooth, uniform and wear-resistant bore. Chrome-lined barrels still need outer surface protection, normally achieved by some manner of Parkerization. Since the hot liquids used in nitriding flow over all exposed surfaces in a bath, the entire barrel gets a very durable layer of protection against corrosion. A barrel that is to be chromed has to be drilled, rifled and chambered slightly oversize to account for the thickness of the chrome lining. Nitriding does not change any dimensions, so it can be applied to finished barrels.

This is the second time that Pyongyang authorities have reported that they have tested a hypersonic missile.
The official KCNA said that the missile launched on Wednesday flew 700 kilometers, confirmed the reliability of the fuel system, and accurately hit the target. KCNA stated that the continuous successful test firing of hypersonic missiles is of strategic significance for accelerating the modernization of weapons.
North Korea announced for the first time last year that it had conducted a test-fire of a new type of hypersonic weapon on September 28.
The US Indo-Pacific Command said in a statement on Wednesday that it was aware of North Korea’s “ballistic missile launches” that day, and was in close consultation with allies and partners regarding the developments.
US Secretary of State Blincoln is scheduled to hold a two-plus-two meeting with Secretary of Defense Austin and the Japanese Foreign Minister and Defense Secretary on Thursday. Topics to be discussed include addressing the challenges of North Korea and China. After North Korea carried out the latest missile test, Brinken spoke with Japanese Foreign Minister Lin Fangzheng ahead of time on Wednesday. A press release issued by the State Department stated that Brinken condemned North Korea for launching ballistic missiles during the call and emphasized the firm commitment of the United States to defend Japan.
Must Read:-“Universal Vaccine” Is Feasible And Imminent
According to a number of resolutions passed by the UN Security Council, North Korea is not allowed to conduct any ballistic missile activities, including short-range or long-range missile test launches.
Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin was asked at a press conference Wednesday that North Korea did not criticize Pyongyang when it fired another missile. He said that he had noticed reports on missile test launches. | weapons_science |

As early as 1000 B.C., the civilisations within Chinese recorded hundreds of recipes for compounds mixed with gunpowder to create ‘toxic smoke’ they could use to incapacitate their enemies. Around 600 B.C. the Assyrians poisoned the water supply of their enemy with rye ergot, a poisonous mycotoxin obtained from diseased rye. In 184 B.C. Hannibal of Carthage hurled hundreds of pots filled with poisonous Vipers onto enemy ships. The list of chemical and biological weapon use continues throughout the centuries.
The modern era of chemical and biological warfare commenced during World War 1 (WW1), where choking and blister agents such as Chlorine gas and Mustard gas were used on the battlefield. Vast areas of land would be engulfed in chemical agent gasses, forcing soldiers to flee or don PPE. These attacks would cause significant disruption and injury to the opposing forces.
In World War 2 (WW2), Japan used Mustard gas and the newly developed Blister agent, Lewisite, on Chinese forces. Through the 1930’s and 40’s, nerve agents were developed by German forces; Tabun, Sarin, Soman. Although never used on the battlefield, following the end of the war, the technology was captured by American and Russian forces who used them to expand their own chemical weapons arsenals. The nuclear weaponization came on August 6th, 1945, when America dropped an atomic bomb on Hiroshima, killing around 80,000 people, with tens of thousands more dying later from radiation exposure. A second bomb was dropped on Nagasaki 3 days later, killing around 40,000.
In recent years, Blister and Nerve agents were used during the Iraq and Iran war from 1980 – 1988, and multiple terrorist attacks have been conducted using chemical and biological agents. | weapons_science |

Well, as laws seem to get more plus more restrictive these days on purchasing and ultizing hand guns, folks are turning to a lot simpler to obtain, and best to handle kind of self defense purposes known as the stun gun. While stun devices have some legal restrictions depending on the state by which one resides, they're designed for most, along with a very affordable and easy to purchase alternative to a handgun. - womens protection
One benefit of running a stun weapon on the handgun, aside from the easy purchasing, is that a stun gun isn't fatal…that is very important for those who have curious children in the house who may find it despite your better efforts to hide it. From 1999 to 2009 - 1,271 children 17 years or under, where killed by accidental firearm discharge according to the Centers for disease control WISQARS Database. As i am a staunch supporter of our own 2nd Amendment rights, I realize the fears that some parents have in terms of keeping a handgun in the home when kids are present. As for those who want to blame the gun for these unfortunate deaths… I ask; what number of you have pools and are you prepared to provide them up because according to the same report, 10,101 children in the same age group died by accidental drowning.
Stun products are a perfect self defense purposes weapon simply because they have several other advantages over hand guns. Self-defense isn't only the opportunity to battle an opponent if needed but the capability to be ready for it. In many states where stun gun laws let the owning of these non lethal weapons, there isn't any restrictions on carrying. Unlike guns, which require a special permit to carry in the few places that you can legally carry them, stun devices have no restrictions associated with carrying anytime or anyplace. Stun weapons may also be no-to-low cost maintenance. Many models are rechargeable so you will never need to bother with batteries. If you aren't, oahu is the cost of a number of nine volt batteries every few months. Compare by investing in the cost of ammunition to get a handgun.
Stun devices are typically much smaller than handguns so that they tend to be simpler to conceal, supplying you with, the victim, a distinct advantage in that your assailant will not see it coming. As a result them a very popular self defense device for males and women. Many women find carrying a stun device much more reassuring than carrying a hand gun. Women will always be fretting about their purse being stolen…now give a handgun to the equation and the anxiety levels are sure to increase exponentially. Using a stun gun, it's not necessary to are in fear that your stun gun could be in charge of a senseless death if it is ever stolen.
Stun weapons come in a variety of shapes and sizes meaning they're ideal for all sorts of self-defense applications. Cellular phone stunners can be worn entirely on the hip no one will be the wiser. Stun batons and stun flashlights are perfect for those who operate in the protection industry for example guards and event specialists.
The potency of a stun gun just isn't to be undervalued. Stun weapons are not intended to take down an assailant permanently because they often display on TV, but rather accustomed to incapacitate an opponent to get a limited amount of time to permit the victim time and energy to escape. A normal stun device enables someone 2-3 minutes of your time to leave. Incapacitation times can differ based on the size (voltage and amperes) with the stun tool and where it's applied to the attacker, the closer to the control of the nerves inside the body (the pinnacle) the more effective the stun gun will likely be as explained in the section below describing how stun guns work.
Stun guns can also be quite effective when used simply as a deterrent. They emit a very intimidating cracking sound along with a extremely effective arc which will cause most crooks to think twice about proceeding with their plan of attack.
Stun Guns - How They Work
Stun Guns are not to be mistaken for Tasers which may be deployed on an attacker up to 15' away. Stun guns are prepared for close quarter attack and self defense purposes by having several electrically charged metal electrodes sticking out which are used to disable an attacker through muscle and neurological confusion as well as muscle exhaustion.
Stun guns work because of their two parts attack about the criminals body. First, stun guns work on the premise of introducing a higher voltage, low amperage electrical charge in to the assailant causing disruption and confusion to the nervous system. This charge disrupts the attackers communication between your brain as well as the muscles basically leaving him not able to control their own muscle movements.
The 2nd major affect with the stun gun strike is that it causes the muscles to execute a serious amount of work in an exceedingly short time. This may lead to a rapid and overwhelming burning of glucose in your body which will leave the assailant within an exhausted state and unable to respond.
Even though the length of time an assailant is incapacitated will vary based on the size of the attacker as well as the energy the stun gun, the outcomes aren't permanent and so are intended to enable the victim time for you to escape and gain help prior to the assailant can recover.
Stun Gun Safety
One of the primary concerns with carrying a stun gun is accidental discharge as the stun device is stored or being deployed for use in an attack. Most stun guns typically include no less than two safety devices however some have as much as three to four safety devices. Standard stun guns have the ability to an on/off or arming switch which when flipped, allows the weapon to become charged and ready for use. Many models in addition have a redundant safety switch or trigger that must be depressed for the electrical charge to be shipped to the electrodes.
A typical secondary safety set up is the wrist strap disable pin. This safety feature is extremely appropriate for women. The wrist strap disable pin prevents the attacker from using the charged device from the victim and ultizing it. It really is designed such that when the victim is overpowered by his / her attacker, these devices will be disabled once the attacker takes the stun device away. While not all purchases have the wrist strap disable pin, just about all models do come equipped with a wrist strap to aid prevent an assailant from gaining control of the device.
Another common safety feature for several kinds of stun guns are safety caps that must be removed prior to the stun device is going to be charged. These are generally utilized on devices that will be discreet like a tube of lipstick or a fountain pen. Many devices also have built-in alarms and flashlights for additional security. - womens protection
Laws Regarding Stun Guns
While laws concerning the sell, purchase, possession and employ of stun devices vary from state to state and locality to locality, it will always be better to check with your local law enforcement agencies to confirm any restrictions that may apply locally.

United States Marine Corps SAW Gunner - kitbash
The United States Marine Corps (USMC) is a branch of the United States Armed Forces responsible for providing power projection from the sea, using the mobility of the United States Navy to rapidly deliver combined-arms task forces. It is one of seven uniformed services of the United States. Created in 1775, the Marine Corps has been a component of the United States Department of the Navy since 1834, often working closely with naval forces for training, transportation, and logistics.
The M249 light machine gun (LMG), previously designated the M249 Squad Automatic Weapon (SAW), and formally written as Light Machine Gun, 5.56 mm, M249, is the American adaptation of the Belgian FN Minimi, a light machine gun manufactured by the Belgian company FN Herstal (FN). The M249 is manufactured in the United States by the local subsidiary FN Manufacturing LLC in South Carolina and is widely used in the U.S. Armed Forces. The weapon was introduced in 1984 after being judged the most effective of a number of candidate weapons to address the lack of automatic firepower in small units. The M249 provides infantry squads with the heavy volume of fire of a machine gun combined with accuracy and portability approaching that of a rifle. | weapons_science |

From that definition, it is evident that there are more than two different Trabuco in the world. The Trabuco is a siege weapon that that most kingdoms at war used in the Middle Ages.
The armies used the Trabuco machine to destroy the massive walls built by their enemies to protect them during a war. The Trabuco was a powerful machine that could destroy the enemy holdings and wall surrounding. The Trabuco was used by the armies to project and launch the projectiles that could weigh up to 140 pounds towards the desired targets at a speed they choose according to redetrabuco.com.br.
The most efficient way to use the v is to launch it at high speeds to cause massive destruction. The Trabuco was also used to help the armies through ammunitions over to the fortifications so that the enemies could be inflicted with injuries. During the European Crusades, the Trabuco were highly used to cause havoc to those who were against the Christian religious movements.
How It Works
According to lista.mercadolivre.com.br the Trabuco works by transforming and transferring the potential energy contained in counterweight of the effort side where the lever is located. The potential energy is then transferred to the kinetic energy that sets the object in a target to drive ammunition on the load side of the walls. However, the system on zomato.com was never as efficient as it would appear for most people. This is because some of the potential energy stored in the substance is released in the form of friction. And the heat that is lost within the system. The weight used is directly proportional to the speed of the projectile. With a moderate amount of procession, a projectile could be thrown at a distance of 80 meters.
The Trabuco is a development of the slung or catapult. For more destruction, the Trabuco was designed to carry more weight during the war. The structure contains an engine that is levered on a long piece of wood. The sling is also tied to the longer side of the counterweight. For more effort, people pull the string over the weight.

The Tornado flew its last operational sortie out of RAF Akrotiri, Cyprus on 5 February 2019, where deployed aircraft flew back to their home base of RAF Marham, Norfolk, UK.
“It is with a heavy heart, but enormous pride, that we bid farewell to the Tornado from operations.”
uk Defence Secretary, gavin williamson mp
In a statement released by the Ministry of Defence (MoD), Defence Secretary Gavin Williamson MP said: “It is with a heavy heart, but enormous pride, that we bid farewell to the Tornado from operations. This truly is the end of an era, having played a vital role in keeping Britain and its allies safe for four decades.”
The aircraft have been deployed at RAF Akrotiri since 2014 to assist in Operation Shader, an ongoing coalition effort in the fight against ISIS. Royal Air Force coalition airstrikes will now be taken over by the Eurofighter Typhoon FGR.4.
The UK’s newest fighter aircraft, the Lockheed Martin F-35B Lightning II, a short take-off and vertical landing (STOVL) multi-role stealth fighter will also take over some roles which will be left vacant by the Tornado. The F-35B will also be able to operate from the Royal Navy’s new state-of-the-art Queen Elizabeth-class aircraft carriers.
The Chief of the Air Staff, Air Chief Marshal Stephen Hillier said: “I will personally be very sad to see the Tornado retire, but it is time now to pass the baton to our next generation combat aircraft. The F-35B Lightning is now operational and the Typhoon is now fully multi-role capable and able to take on the Tornado’s missions.”
During the aircraft’s operational career, the RAF’s Tornado force have seen active combat operations over Iraq, Kosovo, Afghanistan, Libya and Syria.
A tweet from AEROSPACE Magazine’s Editor-in-Chief, Tim Robinson, noted that: “Apart from 18 days off between Iraq and Afghanistan- RAF Tornados have been constantly on ops since 1990.”
As of 6 February 2019, just 17 Tornado’s remain in service. The RAF is preparing to withdraw its last Tornado aircraft from service on 31 March 2019. With aircraft either being earmarked for preservation or sent to the scrap heap.
In January, a specially painted aircraft to celebrate the aircraft’s near 40-year service to the UK was unveiled with a special flight, shown in the video below.

“Our F-16 fighters must be equipped with the most sophisticated weapons. That’s standard for a jet fighter such as the F-16,” Hartind Asrin, Indonesian defence ministry spokesman said.
He said Indonesia’s purchase of the missiles, which have a target range of up to 22 km, would not worry neighboring countries because Jakarta only wanted to modernise its defence capabilities and had no intention of attacking another country.
“In peacetime, the system aims to create a deterrent. This deal is only to safeguard our territorial sovereignty. It is not for offensive purposes, as is clearly enshrined in our Constitution,” he was quoted by the Jakarta Globe as saying.
Indonesia has requested 18 AGM-65K2 Maverick All-Up-Round missiles, 36 “captive air training missiles” and three maintenance training missiles, plus spares, test equipment and personnel training, worth of an estimated value of US$25 million, earlier reports said.
The AGM-65 Maverick, built by Raytheon, is designed to attack a wide range of tactical targets, including armour, air defences, ships, ground transportation and fuel storage facilities.
The US administration approved the request on Wednesday last week. Defense relations between Indonesia and the US returned to normal conditions in 2010 when the US military renewed its relations with Kopassus, Indonesia’s special forces.
Many saw the normalisation of defence ties as a demonstration of significant US re-engagement in the region as China continues to increase its defence spending. Reopening the U.S. arms markets to Indonesia is a natural next step in maturing military-to- military relations.
Indonesia’s move to buy the missiles comes after President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono announced last week that the country’s defence budget for next year would increase to 77.7 trillion rupiah (about US$8.2 billion), from 61.5 trillion rupiah this year.
Indonesia has 10 F-16s, and after a meeting between US President Barack Obama and President Susilo November last year, the US announced that it was giving, not selling, Jakarta another two dozen secondhand F-16C/D fighter planes to strengthen bilateral ties and foster what the Pentagon has called a “much-needed” capability to protect Indonesian airspace.
The number of missiles being sought by Indonesia would support both the existing fleet and the 24 planes being provided as US surplus, reports said. | weapons_science |

His Excellency the Secretary General of the United Nations,
Distinguished colleagues, ladies and gentlemen
It is an honour to address this high level gathering on Nuclear Disarmament. We associate ourselves with the statement made by the NAM.
Mr. President, from the days of our freedom struggle, we have been consistent in our support for the global elimination of all weapons of mass destruction. Mahatma Gandhi, the Father of our nation, was moved by the tragedy of Hiroshima and Nagasaki but remained
unshaken in his belief in non-violence. He wrote that he regarded theemployment of the atom bomb for the wholesale destruction of men, women and children as the most diabolical use of science. More than six decades later, it remains our collective challenge
to craft a nuclear weapon free and non-violent world order.
India remains convinced that its security would be strengthened in a nuclear weapon free and non-violent world order.This conviction is based both on principle as well as pragmatism. We believe that the goal of nuclear disarmament can be achieved through a
step-by-step process underwritten by a universal commitment and an agreed multilateral framework that is global and non-discriminatory. There is need for a meaningful dialogue among all states possessing nuclear weapons to build trust and confidence and for
reducing the salience of nuclear weapons in international affairs and security doctrines. Progressive steps are needed for the de-legitimization of nuclear weapons paving the way for their complete elimination.
In 1988, Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi presented to the UN General a comprehensive Action Plan for a nuclear weapon free and non-violent world order, which if implemented would have rid the world of nuclear weapons by 2008. India’s subsequent proposals in the
General Assembly and the Conference on Disarmament are testimony to our consistent support for nuclear disarmament based on the key principles of the Rajiv Gandhi Action Plan for achieving nuclear disarmament in a time bound manner.
As a responsible nuclear power, we have a credible minimum deterrence policy and a posture of no-first use. We refuse to participate in an arms race, including a nuclear arms race. We are prepared to negotiate a global No-First-Use treaty and our proposal for
a Convention banning the use of nuclear weapons remains on the table. As we see no contradiction between nuclear disarmament and non-proliferation, we are also committed to working with the international community to advance our common objectives of non-proliferation,
including through strong export controls and membership of the multilateral export regimes.
Mr. President, the Non-Aligned Movement, of which India is a proud founding member, has proposed today the early commencement of negotiations in the CD on nuclear disarmament. We support this call. Without prejudice to the priority we attach to nuclear disarmament,
we alsosupport the negotiation in the CD of a non-discriminatory and internationally verifiable treaty banning the future production of fissile material for nuclear weapons and other nuclear explosive devices that meets India's national security interests.
It should be our collective endeavor to return the CD, which remains the single multilateral disarmament negotiating forum, to substantive work as early as possible.
Mr. President, this meeting is proof that the international community remains concerned about the catastrophic consequences of nuclear war and the lack of progress in moving toward global nuclear disarmament. In recent years, many initiatives both official
and non-governmental have been launched in order to make the vision of a nuclear weapon free world a reality. Simultaneously, there has been a welcome and well-deserved focus on preventing access by non-state actors, in particular terrorists, to weapons of
mass destruction and related materials. The recent use of chemical weapons in Syria point to an urgent needfor the international community to strengthen restraints on use of weapons of mass destruction and in particular preventing their access to non state
actors and terrorists.We hope that our discussions today would galvanize political willandhelp channel our collective efforts towards the noble goal of ridding the world of nuclear weapons and all other weapons of mass destruction. To that end, Mr. President,
we pledge to you our full support and cooperation.
I thank you.

※ Why use a Laser Bore Sight?
Using laser bore sighters to accurately sight in your firearm before real shooting can help to save ammunition, time and your hard earned money. | weapons_science |

In fact, you don't even have to worry about what rifle to bring from home! We have plenty of guns to choose from and you are more than welcome to use any of them on your hunt. However, we wanted to take some time to discuss what are the best rifles to hunt whitetail deer with. The people at OutdoorLife put together a nice little article about their Top 10 favorite deer hunting guns. We have listed 4.
1. Beanfield Sniper
Remington Sendero SF II
With a heavy 26-inch barrel, the Sendero is built to squeeze as much velocity as possible out of flat-shooting cartridges for long, accurate shots. The rifle is heavy—with a scope, it is going to weigh 10 pounds or more—but if you’ve got a short hike to your stand or don’t mind humping a beefy rig, the Sendero is ideal. The rigid HS Precision stock helps with accuracy. Currently it’s offered in 7mm Rem. Mag., .300 Win. Mag., and .300 Rem. Ultramag., though if you search for used guns, you might find one in the underappreciated .264 Win. ($1,465; remington.com)
2. Timber Classic
Lever guns endure not from some misguided sense of nostalgia, but because they strike a balance between portability, balance, handling, and firepower like no other deer rifle. The “thuddy-thuddy” remains a top deer cartridge, but I’ve always gravitated to the .35 Rem., which packs greater oomph. Either way, however, you won’t go wrong. Topped with a low-magnification scope or a peep sight, the Marlin is ideal for hunting dark timber or from within the confines of a small blind. With moderate recoil and a magazine capacity that most bolt guns can only dream of, it is a potent rifle. ($610; marlinfirearms.com)
3. Alpine Shooter
The Sako Finnlight won Outdoor Life’s Editor’s Choice award a few years back due to its superb accuracy and reliability, which are not a given for rifles that have thin barrels and other weight-saving features. Light weight often comes at the expense of performance, but that’s not so with the 6-pound Finnlight.
I’ve shot this rifle until it’s hot enough to fry an egg on its fluted barrel, but it still manages tight groups. It comes in a wide range of great calibers—.260 Rem., .270 WSM, 6.5x55 SE, 7mm Rem. Mag., to name a few—but I think it would be hard to top the .308, given the cartridge’s mild recoil, proven killing power, and broad selection of accurate loads. ($1,699; sako.fi)
4. All-Purpose All-Star
Weatherby Vanguard Series 2
When it comes to the best all-around big-game bolt gun, the Weatherby Vanguard Series 2 is at the top of the list. These rifles hit a sweet spot for their price, accuracy, handling, and craftsmanship. One of my friends, an avid gun nut who is also a penny-pinching farmer, was so smitten after shooting my .308 that he bought four Vanguards, one for every member of his family. The refinements that Weatherby made with the introduction of the Series 2—a better trigger and stock, and a handy three-position safety—took what had been a good rifle to begin with and made it great.
Vanguards come in a host of configurations and calibers, but if you’re looking for a no-nonsense working gun for any type of deer, go for the Stainless Synthetic. It will handle rough use and rough weather, and with Weatherby’s accuracy guarantee, you can count on the rifle to do its part to guide your shot to its mark.

The British Army will soon see its Coyote six-wheeled tactical vehicles fitted with 105 millimeter Howitzer weapon systems.
The Coyote is currently equipped with the new generation light anti-tank weapon, currently used by Ukraine to destroy Russian tanks.
Although the armored vehicle already has a powerful weapon, the experience of the British army in Iraq, Afghanistan and Syria would have highlighted the need for the Coyote to have additional firepower.
“There is growing concern that special forces feel underpowered, and this has been particularly noticed in Syria,” a senior official said. mentioned. “The plan is to mount the gun on a Coyote, the six-wheeled platform we used in Afghanistan, which has the capacity to carry the gun and ammunition.”
The UK currently operates a towed 105mm howitzer called the L118 Light Gun. However, it is not suitable for Coyote vehicles due to its weight and recoil.
“Provide enormous firepower”
Lighter than many other weapon systems, the Howitzer is designed to provide direct and indirect fire support to soldiers.
It can fire all standard 105 millimeter NATO ammunition such as M1 high explosive rounds, M913 rocket-assisted high explosive rounds and M314 flare rounds.
the Hawk Eye The 105 millimeter weapon system is a modular howitzer designed to be integrated into various combat transports, including the Coyote.
The M119 variant has an improved rate of fire of six rounds per minute and a standard firing range of 14 kilometers (8.7 miles).
“If finally adopted after trials, it will provide tremendous firepower to special forces in a mobile configuration in a way that has never been experienced before and we should reasonably expect that a limited number be in service within the next two years,” the senior official said. Explain.
Based on the HMT 600 6×6 chassis, the Coyote is a larger derivative of the Jackal 2 high mobility weapons platform patrol and reconnaissance vehicle.
It has two additional wheels to allow transporting more supplies and equipment over difficult terrain.
The vehicle can carry one more crew member than the Jackal 2, but offers similar protection, armament, and propulsion systems.
The British Army currently operates 70 Coyote Light Tactical Vehicles. | weapons_science |

The presumed Scud-series missiles flew more than 310 miles and fired from the southwest Hwanghae province, said the official who requested anonymity due to department rules.
Rationale behind the launch
The test launches followed a recent visit by the Chinese president to South Korea.
Traditionally, Chinese leaders visit Pyongyang before Seoul. The visit had been considered as a snub to North Korea, according to a few reports.
The launch also followed South Korea’s rejection of the North’s proposal to reduce bilateral tensions, saying it should first demonstrate a serious attitude towards nuclear disarmament if it truly wants peace. The draft agreement included the cancellation of regular military drills between Seoul and Washington.
Reactions of various nations
Despite the large number of test-firings of missiles, artillery and rockets, North Korea did not declare a no-fly zone. The test launches reaped criticism from South Korea, the United States and the United Nations.
Adding to this, Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe ordered his cabinet to scrutinize the apparent launch. The Japanese government was planning to lodge an official protest against the North Korean government. | weapons_science |

Over the past several months, North Korea has engaged in a series of provocative nuclear and missile tests. It conducted nuclear tests in January and then September of last year along with several ballistic missile tests. And in 2017 alone there have been no less than 5 missile launches, most recently on March 6, when North Korea launched four missiles which landed off the coast of Japan.
Meanwhile, later in March Secretary of State Tillerson traveled to the region, in his first big foray into the vexing regional diplomacy that so far has failed to stop North Korea from advancing its nuclear weapons programs. And while visiting the region, Tillerson promised to end the Obama-era strategy of strategic patience, but has not yet articulated what kinds of policies would take its place.
On the line with me to discuss the North Korea nuclear issue is Kelsey Davenport, who is the director for non-proliferation policy at the Arms Control Association. She discusses the strategic implications of the specific technologies that North Korea is testing, that is, why Pyongyang is conducting these kinds of tests. She also describes the policy options in the table for the Trump administration as is tries to confront North Korea's nuclear ambitions. And i must say, this conversation was very helpful to me personally and I suspect you'll learn a lot from it as well.

Diplomacy coupled with the removal of sanctions could persuade Iran to abandon its nuclear weapon mission, which would in turn be a very positive move towards defeating the global nuclear crisis. This is because. when Russia is left out of the picture, North Korea and Iran remain the most potentially dangerous nuclear-weapon-infested nations, and their will to soldier on with the nuclear mission has surpassed the international sanctions or any threat of military intervention. Thus, in the event that it would be possible to bring Iran to the negotiating table and end the long-standing hostilities between Iran and the USA, the war on nuclear weapons will have made great headway.

Airsoft guns are of three different types: electric, spring powered and gas powered airsoft guns. All these three types of guns have their advantages and disadvantages. Before you choose a particular type of airsoft gun, you must know whether it is a good choice for you. In this post, we will discuss these three types of airsoft guns and their pros and cons.
Electric airsoft guns
Airsoft players love electric airsoft guns, and there are some good reasons why they love these guns. If you are new to this sport, most probably you will choose an electric gun. Here are the pros and cons:
These guns are easy to use, and fire silently. A high firing speed is the main reason why electric airsoft guns are so popular.
Another good thing is that there are a variety of electric airsoft guns. For optimal gameplay, you can use sniper rifles and machine airsoft guns. Grenade launchers are also available. This versatility makes electric guns the first choice for new players.
Now let’s talk about some of the disadvantages. The main disadvantage is that the batteries do not last very long. You need to change them. Keeping some extra battery packs is a necessity.
In most cases, cheap plastic is used to manufacture these guns. This makes these guns rather fragile. When choosing an airsoft gun, make sure that it is made of good plastic.
Another disadvantage of electric guns is that they are not waterproof. If these guns come in contact with water, they may malfunction.
Spring-powered airsoft guns
Spring-powered airsoft guns are not as powerful as gas-powered or electric airsoft guns. But in some cases, a spring-powered gun can be even more powerful, especially if you are using a sniper rifle. It has not only more power but also more precision.
The main advantage of spring-powered airsoft guns is that they are really cheap. Beginners choose these guns mainly due to their low price. They are reliable because you do not have to worry about changing batteries. Spring-powered guns are relatively silent, and they provide surprising accuracy.
Now we will look at the disadvantages of spring-powered airsoft guns. The main disadvantage is that these guns are not designed for excessive use. If you use them excessively, they will break easy. With every shot, the spring gets weaker.
Typically, cheap plastic is used to manufacture these guns, and that is another disadvantage. Although these guns are lightweight, they are susceptible to cracks. Spring-powered airsoft guns need to be manually cocked, and many users do not like that.
Gas-powered airsoft guns
Gas-powered guns are powerful, and that is why mainly advanced players use these guns. These guns often resemble real weapons, since they have blowback and recoil. If you are new to airsoft, we do not recommend gas-powered guns. Here are the pros and cons of these guns.
Gas-powered airsoft guns not only resemble real guns but also fire like them. If you want to add modifications to your gun, you can. Realistic bolt firing is another great advantage of these guns. This feature makes the simulation more like a real war.
But gas-powered airsoft guns have some cons, and many think the cons outweigh the pros. The first disadvantage is that you can not use these guns in cold weather.
If you choose these guns, be ready to carry some cans of gas, and gas is not something very cheap. You must treat a gas-powered gun just like a real gun. Regular cleaning and maintenance are essential.
Whether you choose electric, gas-powered or spring-powered guns, they all have their pros and cons. We hope you have learnt enough about these guns, and you will make an informed decision. | weapons_science |

On this subject informed TASS in reference to the Russian Defense Ministry.
The accident happened on May 12 at 3:42 pm “The flight was carried out without ammunition. There is no destruction on earth. Both pilots were killed,” the ministry said.
The Ministry of Defense identified the equipment failure as a preliminary cause of the accident. A commission of the Main Command of the Aerospace Forces (VKS) of Russia was sent to the crash site.
The Mi-28 helicopter is designed to search and destroy armored vehicles, engineering fortifications, air targets and enemy personnel in the face of active fire resistance using aircraft guns, guided missiles and unguided and other weapons.
There are several modifications of the Mi-28: the Mi-28N “Night Hunter” attack, the Mi-28UB combat trainer and the modernized Mi-28NM “Night Hunter”.
The Ministry of Defense has repeatedly reported on the participation of the Mi-28 in the performance of combat missions during the military operation in Ukraine.

As one of the first nations to become a major industrial power, the UK is part of the club that set off human-induced global warming. Climate change affects us all, but with more serious and deadly impact for indigenous people in poorer regions of the world that did little or nothing to contribute to the problem. Scientists have spelled out the scale and pace of changes needed to become part of the solution but the UK government’s actions are still
too little, too late. This has many parallels with our nuclear history.
The UK, as a founder member of the small club of nuclear armed states, has continued the development of nuclear weapons throughout every serious coordinated effort to ban them and still devotes more money and resources to nuclear weapons than action to combat climate change (SGR 2021). Moreover, the UK government tested its nuclear weapons in pristine environments making sure their vaporising heat, blast and the worst of their radioactive fallout landed elsewhere, to the detriment of indigenous peoples and all locally living things.
Our government’s promises to take steps that lead to total nuclear disarmament, made as a signatory of the Non-Proliferation Treaty, are unfulfilled. They turn their back on the majority of the countries of the world now signing up to a UN Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons. When willingness to press the nuclear button (thus destroying the world) is taken as strong leadership, then the stewardship that our planet so urgently needs is outside the mind-set of our politicians.
The set of industries and institutions referred to as ‘the military-industrial complex’ are very effective at lobbying for ever more resources. This continues to help drive the twin existential threats of climate change and nuclear war. The nuclear arm of this lobby is particularly powerful. Millions that could be spent on repairing environmental harm go on
advocating for the nuclear industries (ICAN 2020). This includes the lobbying of Scottish MPs and MSPs (Edwards, June and March 2022).
Scientists for Global Responsibility estimated that the annual amount the UK armed forces and arms industry contribute to global warming is the fossil-fuel-consuming equivalent to 6 million cars on the road (SGR, 2020). It is widely agreed that the US military emits more climate-changing gases than most medium-
sized countries (Crawford 2019). These calculations are largely based on estimates of fuel- consuming business and do not include other harms such as the effects of war or additional factors as the atmospheric heating effects of military high-altitude flying.
Creating, building and maintaining nuclear weapons cause additional environmental injustice and harm by adding dangerous ionising radiation to the environment, even without their explosion. The toxic processes involved in uranium mining at the beginning of the production cycle and the end product of highly radioactive waste, dangerous for thousands of years, are features of both the civil nuclear power and nuclear weapons industries.
The two industries remain interlocked, sharing skills, infrastructure (Stirling and Johnstone 2018), a history of harms to indigenous peoples and the legacy of terrible accidents that devastated areas for all species and future generations (ICAN 2023). The continued existence of both these industries mean a constant low-level risk of terrifying catastrophe.
The nuclear weapons industries profoundly and permanently changed the Earth by wrapping it with a new layer of radioactivity, fallout from the hundreds of explosions in the atmosphere, nuclear tests conducted between the 1940s and 70s. All nuclear tests raise background radiation subsequently creating an unknown number of cancers around the world. These are harms that will continue for generations, even if no nuclear weapon is ever used again in war.
Some scientists point to the signature of radioactivity on the earth as the beginning of the ‘anthropocene’ (Waters and co-authors 2015), a term used to indicate the epoch in which humans dominate the geological formation of the earth for the first time. ‘Anthropocene’ is also the term used by to express the enormity of human impact from burning fossil fuels which have radically changes the earth’s climate.
War inevitably accelerates climate change and environmental harms, sometimes massively. Think of the deforestation caused by the US military repeatedly spraying gallons of herbicide and using napam in the Vietnam War. Remember the burning of oil wells during the Gulf War. Consider the possible meltdown of a nuclear reactor in the current war in Ukraine (SGR 2023). As war intensifies the climate crisis so also the climate crisis makes nuclear accidents
and nuclear war more likely.
Drought, flooding and sea level rises can threaten the safety of nuclear facilities as well as displace people and create conflict. Climate change is already forcing migration from some parts of the world and increasing tension over resources such as water. Until the nuclear-armed states disarm and dismantle their nuclear weapons, war brings the risk of nuclear war, as demonstrated by the war in Ukraine. More nuclear-armed states or more states joining in a nuclear alliance will inevitably increase the underlying risk. The only long-term solution is to step back from the nuclear brink and instead towards total nuclear disarmament.
‘Ecocide’, attacks on whole ecosystems, habitats and everything that live in them, and ‘genocide’, attacks on a whole nations of people are the twin outcomes of nuclear weapons. The explosion of even a very small proportion of the world’s stock of nuclear weapons would mean catastrophic and irrecoverable damage for most life on earth, including but, of course, not just for people. Climate scientists have modelled the effects on nuclear war on the climate. They conclude that even a modest war, a two-way exchange of 40 nuclear bombs, the number carried by one of the UK’s nuclear armed submarines, would put enough soot in the atmosphere to block out the sun for half the planet. This would cause catastrophic crop failure (Xia and co-authors 2022). This effect is referred to as ‘nuclear
winter’ which might last a decade and the effects of radioactivity for thousands of years.
Meanwhile the underlying global warming would return with a vengeance.
But these horrific threats are a reason for action, not despair. There are many vibrant grass-roots environmental and peace movement organisations in the UK. They are pressuring government to do more to mitigate climate change and to defend the thousands of species being brought to extinction by human activity. They are also pushing back against the lobbying of the military industrial complex and working for nuclear disarmament. Local and national organisations are linked into strong international movements working for the common good of the planet.
At COP26, the intergovernmental meeting to discuss climate change, Glasgow 2021, the nations that started the problem resisted calls to set up a fund to pay for the loss and damage victim countries are suffering because of climate change. But in 2022 all countries finally agreed to the loss and damages fund. The same principle is written into the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons (TPNW) which expects the nuclear states to pay victim assistance and remediation of the environmental harms of nuclear testing. Although no nuclear state has yet signed up, a growing number of local authorities within their territories build pressure by demonstrating their support through the International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons (ICAN) Cities Appeal.
The overwhelming majority of members of the Scottish parliament, for example, have pledged their allegiance to the TPNW. The current Scottish government is committed to signing the TPNW and removing nuclear weapons from Scotland should Scotland become an independent nation. This makes the campaign for Scottish independence a possible route to a nuclear disarmament of the UK. There would then be nowhere else for the UK’s nuclear weapons to go. Even if the submarines can find another base, there is no equivalent to the combination of explosive handling facilities and storage bunkers for nuclear bombs at the Royal Naval Armament Depot Coulport (SCND 2014).
Note also that the TPNW has an impact on all the nuclear states even without their signatures. Since coming into force in 2021, billions of pounds have been taken out of investments in nuclear weapons, with over 100 financial institutions completely divesting from nuclear weapons. The TPNW marked the point at which the majority of the countries
of the world refused to accept the threat of nuclear weapons as any country’s legitimate ‘defence’ or ‘security’.
The campaign to protect species other than humans from nuclear weapons is also growing. In March 2023 the European Parliament declared its support for including a law against ecocide in their Directive on protection of the environment through criminal law. If you are reading this, then hopefully you too are in on the action responding to these deadly connections and already part of these movements.

Rifle shooting is an art and one becomes an expert in it after a long practice. Though used in wars in earlier times, rifles are used today mainly for hunting and shooting sports. Shooting with rifle is a different experience from using other firearms. Rifle shooting being different, rifle shooting accessories are also different from those required by other firearms.
There are different types of rifle shooting accessories that are meant to store the rifle and its bullets as well as use them. Are you planning to specialise on rifle shooting? To ensure the long life of your rifle and a better performance with it you need to know about the different rifle shooting accessories that you should have. Here are a few of them:
Rifle safes and cases
As you have guessed, a rifle sig sauer 6.5 creedmoor rifle safe is meant to store the rifles. Rifle safes are normally made with fully welded steel that adds to the sturdiness of the safe. They have extra protection measures like recessed doors, anti-jammy bars, multiple lever locks, door reinforcements, etc. And if you wish to travel with your rifle you’ll find rifle cases with aluminum exterior and foam interior. These cases are very strong and are therefore ideal to carry expensive rifles.
This is meant to store cartridges when you are out for shooting. Cartridge carriers come in different sizes with different numbers of loops so that you could carry different numbers of cartridges according to your needs. These carriers are smaller and easy to carry, thus making them a travel friendly accessory.
Rifle slips and slings

Look, having one of these bad boys on your gun can easily be the difference between life and death if your home is invaded in the night.. Increase your accuracy in an instant with the push of a button and make every shot placement count.
Reasons I choose the Dustoff Laser for my Handguns:
- You become a skilled marksman by adding this laser to any of your guns, no need to look down the sight, this laser will do that aiming for you.
- Works great on any kind of pistol, shotgun, rifle, sub machine gun.
- Save time when acquiring your target by simply turning the laser on and placing the laser on your target.
- Perfect for home defense weapons (I keep one on my .40 and my 9mm).
- Ideal for range days with your buddies, you'll out shoot them all day with this laser.
I can't talk too much about my days in SOF, but I can let you know the importance of an accurate sidearm.
Typically, the sidearm rarely gets used, but when it comes time to pull it, chances are this a close quarters combat situation, where friendlies could be in the line of fire mixed in with the enemy.
In that exact situation, night or day, you'll want a laser on your gun to achieve pinpoint accuracy.
Our stock is extremely limited on these lasers, so do this great Country a favor and add one to your firearm today.
Take care Patriot,

Iran even took the significant step of transferring its stock of weapons-grade nuclear material to Russia.
Then the country fired a missile ‘test’ in the vicinity of a U.S. Navy vessel in November. It was the second time Iran had tested a ballistic weapon in 2015.
The U.S. has promised new sanctions in retaliation for the provocative move. The White House delayed imposition of the sanctions, much to the chagrin of hawks who want to the U.S. to take a strong stand against Iranian aggression in the region. In response, Iran has vowed to accelerate its development of ballistic missiles if new sanctions are imposed.
The prospects for normalizing trade with Iran have dimmed, and the situation may yet escalte further. | weapons_science |

The Guardian says Britain is to supply long-range rocket artillery to Ukraine, despite a threat on Sunday from Russia’s president, Vladimir Putin, to bomb fresh targets if similar weapons from the US were delivered to Kyiv.
The UK will send a handful of tracked M270 multiple launch rocket systems, which can hit targets up to 50 miles away, in the hope they can disrupt the concentrated Russian artillery that has been pounding cities in eastern Ukraine.
Ben Wallace, the UK defence secretary, argued the decision to ship the rocket launchers was justified because “as Russia’s tactics change, so must our support to Ukraine”. The move risks further provoking an already irritated Kremlin.

The war machine was a discovery of the Chinese who improved the old sling to fire much heavier projectiles to cause damage. The Trabuco war machine worked by hurling loads aimed at the masonry wall of their opponents. Also, the loads fired were not only stones, but the armies would also shoot fireballs, human skulls, and even corpses.
Trabuco Machine Usage and its Abandonment
The Trabuco war machine was later taken up by the Europeans around the 600 AD. The war machine remained in use for a period close to 1000 years before the discovery of the gunpowder by the Chinese in the 13th century. It is believed that the Trabuco war machine had a great influence in developing the modern day artillery. Its shooting concept was utilized to build the modern artillery which was used during the World War I and World War II. Again, the war machine was also used during religious crusades between the Muslims and Christians.

The Two Types of Trabuco that were Invented
The first Trabuco that the Chinese assembled was simple to construct where they only required putting together the parts then they could pull the ropes to fire missiles. This type was referred to as the traction Trabuco or tensile Trabuco as it was human strength that purely operated it. The Trabuco machine had its pros and cons, but the only problem was that its disadvantages outweighed its advantages. While the war machine could fire up to four times in a minute, it required many people to operate which made it hard to coordinate the individuals. It was later abandoned due to the frustrations encountered during its operation according to infoescola.com.
The Arab traders later acquired it and took it to the Middle East where the war weapon was re-modeled to what was known as the balancing Trabuco. The modified Trabuco had its working mechanism replaced with a counterweight instead of people which made it much easier in its usage. The machine could handle weights of 140 pounds to more than 80 meters away causing a lot of damage to the enemies during battles. Additionally, the Trabuco hurled objects by converting the potential energy to kinetic energy to fire missiles to the enemies. | weapons_science |

Did China Just Render America's $1 Trillion Stealth Fighter Program Obsolete?
In a 2013 RAND Corporation report, one of the nation's foremost military analysts, blasted the F-35 for being a fighter that "can't turn, can't climb,
can't run." Proponents of the F-35 reply that because it's stealthy, it shouldn't have to do any of those things -- lobbing missiles at its foes from over the horizon, and long before they can even see it.
Unfortunately, it turns out that the F-35 may not do the "invisibility" thing very well, either.
Invisible becomes visible -- voila!
As recently revealed, China has a new device that may be able to track Lockheed's F-35 fighter with "passive" radar detection technology. Dubbed the DWL002,
China's equipment can apparently detect stealth aircraft at distances of up to 400 kilometers -- and 600 kilometers for larger "stealth" targets -- processing "pulse, frequency agility, pulse duration, tactical air navigation system, distance measuring
equipment, jitter/stagger radar, and identification friend or foe" signals emitted by the otherwise stealthy aircraft to determine its location.南京期货配资办公家具厂防腐涂料 | weapons_science |

The Il-2 operated close to the ground, attacking enemy tanks, trucks, and troops near the front line. The job was dangerous and though the IL-2 was heavily armored, many of the planes were lost in battle. As Germany threatened western Russia, Soviet factories moved east, to ensure new Shturmoviks arrived to take the place of recent casualties.
The enemy called the plane “Black Death” or "Betonvogel" (loosely, the Concrete Bird). Soviet pilots lovingly named the plane "Ilyusha.” To the Soviet soldiers, the Il-2 was "the Winged Tank" or, perhaps most endearingly of all, "the Flying Infantryman."
History of the Artifact
The FHCAM’s plane was restored using parts from four wrecks discovered in northwestern regions of the former Soviet Union. Il-2 serial number 305401 makes up a large percentage of the aircraft.
The plane was constructed in Kuybyshev in mid-1943 and was assigned to the 828th Attack Aviation Regiment on the lower Karelian Front. On October 10, 1944, the plane was hit by anti-aircraft fire while attacking an airfield and crashed near the Titovka River.
The plane was discovered in a nameless lake by searchers scouting the area with a helicopter in 1991. When raised to the surface, the recovery crew found that the Il-2 still had its complement of rockets and bombs under its wings.
Did you know?
The Il-2 type aircraft is the single most produced military aircraft design in all of aviation history. | weapons_science |

North Korea says first intercontinental ballistic missile test successful
North Korea said on Tuesday it successfully test-launched an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) for the first time, which flew a trajectory that experts said could allow a weapon to hit the U.S. state of Alaska. The launch came days before leaders from the Group of 20 nations were due to discuss steps to rein in North Korea's weapons programme, which it has pursued in defiance of U.N. Security Council sanctions.
The launch, which North Korea's state media said was ordered and supervised by leader Kim Jong Un, sent the rocket 933 km (580 miles) reaching an altitude of 2,802 km over a flight time of 39 minutes. North Korea has said it wants to develop a missile mounted with a nuclear warhead capable of striking the U.S. mainland. To do that it would need an ICBM with a range of 8,000 km (4,800 miles) or more, a warhead small enough to be mounted on it and technology to ensure its stable re-entry into the atmosphere.
Some analysts said the flight details on Tuesday suggested the new missile had a range of more than 8,000 km, underscoring major advances in its programme. Other analysts said they believed its range was not so far.
"The test launch was conducted at the sharpest angle possible and did not have any negative effect on neighbouring countries," North Korea's state media said in a statement. The North said its missiles were now capable of striking anywhere in the world. | weapons_science |

With the expected increase in other larger platforms like aircraft, helicopters, vessels, and boats, we believe that India’s export potential in defence is huge and the government’s target of touching Rs 35,000-40,000 crore of defence exports by FY25E (from Rs 12,000-13,000 crore currently) is possible,” said ICICI Direct.
ICICI Direct believes HAL has a big opportunity in both manned and unmanned combat aerial vehicles, helicopters and aero engines. With the development of Kaveri engine variants for different UCAVs, manufacturing of other aircraft engines and maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) of these aircraft and engines, the brokerage believes HAL is a multi-year growth story with significant growth potential.
Current order backlog at 3.2x TTM revenues and healthy orders pipeline give strong visibility.
“For combat function, the Indian Air Force is looking for faster induction of unmanned combat aerial vehicles (UCAVs) in the years to come. HAL is in process of developing a combat air teaming system (CATS warrior), which is also an unmanned aerial vehicle for a combat role. The higher version of the Kaveri engine is also under development for the same,” the brokerage said in its report.
Bharat Dynamics also witnessed a significant opportunity with the need for new-generation missiles from the armed forces. The current order book is already strong at 3.8x TTM revenues with a healthy pipeline of orders in new missiles & torpedoes. A high indigenisation level of 80-85% in most missiles and torpedoes offer export opportunities also, said ICICI Direct.
“In terms of missiles & torpedoes, the surface-to-air missile variants like Akash, medium range SAM, and quick reaction SAM are in process of final approvals. Next variants of Astra air-to-air and indigenous anti-tank guided missiles like Amogha and Nag are also under development. Bharat Dynamics is the nominated agency for manufacturing these missiles,” the brokerage said.
The brokerage further added, “The Navy’s big projects in the pipeline give longer-term visibility to defence shipyard companies like Mazagon Dock,
and Garden Reach. Moreover, the need for new aircraft for INS Vikrant like a twin-engine deck-based fighter (TEDBF) to be manufactured by HAL. With these new high-tech aircraft & warships, players like Bharat Electronics & Data Patterns will also benefit significantly in the future.”

When the Soviets detonated their first atomic weapon after World War II, the United States had to develop ways of protecting Americans from nuclear attack. While much effort was spent building backyard bomb shelters and conducting civil defense drills, Americans didn’t just want to “duck and cover.” The U.S. also wanted to be ready with its own weapons to use if necessary.
Most Arkansans are familiar with the Pine Bluff Arsenal where weapons are stored but in the early 1960s, the military also installed 54 missiles with nuclear warheads around Little Rock, Tucson and Wichita. Five of the 18 missiles installed around Little Rock were located in Faulkner County.
Construction of the Faulkner County Titan II missile sites began in 1960 and was completed in 1963. They were located at Mt. Vernon, Hamlet, Springhill, Republican and Guy. Each missile complex was located underground and covered with a 490-ton steel and concrete door. The missile silos walls, also made of concrete and steel, were from four to eight feet thick. The complex had three chambers—a launch tube, an access unit and a control center.
The launch tube was about 155 feet into the ground because the missile was 108 feet long and about 10 feet in diameter at its widest point. The intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) weighed 150 tons when loaded with fuel and could travel 6,000 miles at 18,000 miles per hour. It had a 24-megaton nuclear warhead in its nose. The missiles were programmed to a specific target and only the President of the United States could issue a launch order.
Each complex had a crew of four men—two officers and two airmen—who manned the control center. All of the sites were linked to the Strategic Arms Command Center near Omaha, Nebraska which was linked to Washington, D.C. There was great secrecy and security at the silo sites. Most sites had a fence surrounded the site and about two acres. The sites in Arkansas were maintained by the Little Rock Air Force Base.
There were two major incidents that occurred at Arkansas silo installations during the time the Titan II’s were operational. In August, 1965, 53 men, including 15 from Faulkner County, were killed in the silo located about 12 miles outside of Searcy. They were construction workers updating the missile complex.
Some reported an explosion before the fire poured into the launch tube. The missile was unarmed and did not burn.
In September, 1980, my family was awakened early one morning by knocks on the door. My grandparents, who lived in Pleasant Valley, were part of an evacuation of northern Faulkner County. There had been an explosion at the missile silo installation north of Damascus. At least 21 Air Force personnel were injured with one fatality. The missile and the entire complex were destroyed.
Workers had been trying to eliminate a propellant leak that had developed on the first level when a three-pound wrench socket fell 70 feet from the silo’s second level. The rocket propellant was somehow ignited. The explosion shot flames, sparks and debris at least 500 feet high. At first there was concern about a nuclear explosion because eyewitnesses had seen an orange and black cloud pour out of the silo. Some described it as mushroomed shaped. It was quickly determined that there was no evidence of radiation.
By the mid-1980s, the Titan II missiles were becoming old and obsolete. All of the missiles would be deactivated as part of the nation’s strategic modernization program. The missile silo at Guy would be the second missile in Arkansas to be deactivated. All would be deactivated by October 1, 1987. The Cold War ended a few years later with the breakup of the Soviet Union. | weapons_science |

Whether you’re a competitive shooter, a law enforcement professional, or a recreational enthusiast, the right weapon attachments can significantly enhance your shooting experience and improve your overall performance. From red dot sights to muzzle devices, the market is brimming with a variety of attachments designed to cater to different shooting styles and needs. Here, we’ll discuss the importance of choosing the right weapon attachments and how they can elevate your shooting game.
Understanding Weapon Attachments
Weapon attachments are additional components that can be mounted onto firearms to enhance various aspects of their performance. These attachments can include optics, grips, lights, laser sights, muzzle devices, and more. They are designed to improve accuracy, control, target acquisition, and overall shooting experience.
Choosing the Right Optics
Optics play a crucial role in aiming and target acquisition. Red dot sights, holographic sights, and magnified scopes are popular choices for different shooting scenarios.
- Red Dot Sights: Red dot sights offer rapid target acquisition with a simple aiming point. They are ideal for close to medium-range engagements. When choosing a red dot sight like vortex red dots, consider factors such as reticle size, battery life, and durability.
- Holographic Sights: Holographic sights project a reticle onto a clear lens, providing a more versatile aiming solution. They’re effective for quick shots and can accommodate different shooting distances. Look for models with brightness settings for various lighting conditions.
- Magnified Scopes: For long-range precision shooting, magnified scopes are essential. They provide magnification levels that enable shooters to engage targets accurately at extended distances. Consider factors like magnification range, reticle type, and clarity of glass.
Grips and Ergonomics
Grips are crucial for maintaining control and stability over your firearm. Ergonomically designed grips can reduce fatigue and help you maintain a consistent shooting posture.
- Vertical Grips: Vertical grips provide a stable platform for controlling your firearm during rapid fire and maneuvering. They can be particularly useful on rifles and submachine guns.
- Angled Grips: Angled grips offer a compromise between a vertical grip and a traditional handguard. They can improve comfort during extended shooting sessions.
- Hand Stops: Hand stops prevent your support hand from slipping in front of the muzzle, enhancing safety and control.
Lights and Lasers
Lights and lasers are beneficial attachments for low-light scenarios and close-quarters combat.
- Weapon Lights: Tactical lights illuminate your target, enhancing visibility and target identification in dark environments. Look for lights with different output settings and durable construction.
- Laser Sights: Laser sights provide a visible or infrared aiming point on your target. They can improve accuracy and target acquisition, especially in high-stress situations.
Muzzle devices influence recoil management, muzzle rise, and overall shooting comfort.
- Compensators: Compensators reduce muzzle rise by redirecting gases, allowing for faster follow-up shots. They’re especially useful in competition shooting.
- Muzzle Brakes: Muzzle brakes decrease recoil and muzzle climb by redirecting gases. They are beneficial for precision shooting and heavier calibers.
- Flash Suppressors: Flash suppressors reduce the visible flash when firing, making them valuable for maintaining stealth and reducing night blindness in low-light conditions.
Consider Your Shooting Style
When selecting weapon attachments, it’s crucial to consider your shooting style and intended use. Are you a competitive shooter looking for every edge in speed and accuracy? Are you a hunter who needs precise long-range shots? Or are you a home defender in need of reliable low-light aiming solutions? Your shooting style will guide your attachment choices.
Investing in high-quality weapon attachments is essential for reliability, durability, and overall shooting performance. Inferior attachments can adversely affect your accuracy, function, and even safety. Research reputable brands, read reviews, and seek advice from experienced shooters.
Choosing the right weapon attachments is a critical aspect of enhancing your shooting experience. Optics, grips, lights, lasers, and muzzle devices can greatly influence your accuracy, control, and overall performance. Consider your shooting style, intended use, and the quality of attachments when making your choices. With the right combination of attachments, you can take your shooting skills to new heights and achieve greater success in various shooting disciplines. | weapons_science |

In a call to his Chinese counterpart Wei Fenghe also on Wednesday, Shoigu voiced similar concerns over Ukraine planning the use of a dirty bomb in the conflict. The conversations took place at Shoigu’s initiative amidst the escalation of hostilities between Russia and Ukraine, with Washington earlier this week telling Moscow that its allegations of Kyiv preparing a dirty bomb were “patently false”.
With some western analysts even voicing the fear that Russia’s accusations about dirty bombs against Ukraine could be a prelude to its use of low-yield tactical nuclear weapons to stem its conventional military reverses on the battlefield, US President Joe Biden also warned Moscow that it would be a “serious, serious mistake” to make. “Let me just say: Russia would be making an incredibly serious mistake if it uses a tactical nuclear weapon,” Biden said.
Unlike tactical or strategic nuclear weapons, which Ukraine does not have, a dirty bomb is basically a radiological dispersal device that combines radioactive material like uranium with conventional explosives like dynamite or TNT.
Russia’s outreach to India and China on Wednesday came even as President Vladimir Putin observed his strategic forces conduct an exercise, which included ballistic missiles, nuclear submarines and strategic bombers, to test responses to a nuclear strike.
Unlike western countries led by the US, India has tried to strike a balance in the Russian-Ukraine conflict in keeping with its own strategic interests. PM Narendra Modi has talked to both Putin and Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to call for an early cessation of hostilities and the need to pursue the path of dialogue and diplomacy. “Today’s era is not an era of war,” Modi had told Putin on the sidelines of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) conclave in Samarkand last month. | weapons_science |

Of course, JFK did not want the Soviet Union or Cuba to find out that he knew about the missiles. He met with his advisors and they discussed what to do; they did not want USSR missiles so close to the US, but they also did not want to anger the Soviets and risk a nuclear war.
After the meetings, the president decided to put a blockade of ships around Cuba. This prevented the Soviet Union from bringing more supplies in. He also told them to take back the missiles and destroy the sites.
Nikita Khrushchev, the leader of the USSR, also wanted to avoid a nuclear war and decided to agree to the US's demands. This was important because both of the two superpowers of the time acknowledged the power of the other, and they avoided a nuclear mess that could have wiped out both of the countries completely. | weapons_science |

Whether it was the transition from sail to steam, or the advent of steel warships to replace wooden ones, or the change from the battleship to the aircraft carrier to the centerpiece of the Navy fleet, these changes helped the U.S. Navy dominate at sea.
In the Cold War era, this innovative journey gathered momentum: from the introduction of the first nuclear submarine, USS Nautilus, in 1954, to the first of the Nimitz-class nuclear aircraft carrier in 1975, to the first Aegis-class warship, USS Ticonderoga, in 1983, innovative technology changes have kept the Navy at the forefront.
Today, the Navy stands at the precipice of yet another monumental technology advancement.
Tomorrow’s U.S. Navy
The U.S. Chief of Naval Operations, Admiral Michael Gilday, has proposed that tomorrow’s
U.S. Navy grow to 500 ships, to include 350 crewed vessels and 150 unmanned maritime
While the composition of the future Navy’s crewed vessels is relatively well understood—based on ships being built and being planned—what those unmanned maritime vehicles will look like, let alone what they will do, has yet to be fully determined.
It is important that the Navy do so, as an often skeptical Congress—as it does with any emerging technology—will want the Navy to articulate a concept-of-operations (CONOPS) for how it intends to use unmanned maritime vehicles in future conflicts.
To this end, the Navy has recently taken several actions to define and accelerate its journey to have unmanned platforms populate the fleet.
Unmanned Campaign Framework
These include publishing an UNMANNED Campaign Framework, standing up an Unmanned Task Force, establishing Surface Development Squadron One in San Diego and Unmanned Surface Vessel Division One in Port Hueneme, and conducting a large number of exercises, experiments and demonstrations, including the recently completed Integrated Battle Problem 2023.
All of these initiatives will serve the Navy well in evolving a convincing CONOPS to describe how these innovative platforms can be leveraged. Fleshing out how this is to be done will require that the Navy describe how these platforms will get to the operating area where they are needed (for example, the Western Pacific), as well as what missions they will perform once they arrive there.
Unmanned surface vehicles
The answer to the first question is that Navy has committed to obtaining a number of large
unmanned surface vehicles (LUSVs). These vessels will be between 200 and 300 feet in length and displace 1,000 and 2,000 tons, which would make them the size of a corvette (a ship larger than a patrol craft and smaller than a frigate).
According to an April 2023 Congressional Research Service report, the Navy’s Fiscal Year 2024 budget request includes approximately $200 million for research and development for these craft and a planned procurement schedule of nine LUSVs from Fiscal Year 2025 to 2028.
These LUSVs can then be used as “trucks” to move medium unmanned surface vessels and
smaller unmanned vehicles to an area of operations. There, they can perform a number of
important Navy missions such as intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance, mine-
countermeasures, and combat logistics.
These are missions that have been the focus of the aforementioned exercises, experiments and demonstrations, many of them conducted in San Diego, over the past several years.
Naval Engineers Journal
Column space doesn’t allow for a full description of how these missions would be conducted.
For a detailed description of this, I’ll steer readers to our March 2022 Naval Engineers Journal Article, “Engineering Unmanned Surface Vehicles into an Integrated Unmanned Solution.”
In a recent Foreign Affairs article, former Google-CEO, Eric Schmidt, said this: “In the contest of the century—the U.S. rivalry with China—the deciding factor will be innovation power. Technological advances in the next five to 10 years will determine which country gains the upper hand in this world-shaping competition.”
The U.S. Navy’s commitment to a future of unmanned maritime systems is an important arrow in the quiver of U.S military innovation and is likely to keep the Navy in the forefront of world navies for years to come and enhance its ability to provide for the security and prosperity of America.

Is it legal to carry a knife on your belt?
A knife is considered concealed if it is not readily identifiable as a knife or if you attempt to obscure the fact that you’re carrying a knife.
For example, a knife in your pocket is concealed.

Unlike ordinary firearms that depend on gunpowder for their ammunition as the propellant, compressed air is used by an air rifle. This converts into air rifles that use un-lethal bullets for their ammo. As a result, air rifles, like toy BB guns, mostly fire pellets.It should be noted that even if only plastic or rubber pellets are fired, an air rifle hit can be very painful and even fatal if it hits a crucial part of the body. Air rifles are so powerful that they are used to hunt game fowls such as wild ducks and tiny birds, but also to shoot on paper objectives for competition.But like all electrical gadgets, there are no indestructible air rifles or endless machines whose operating circumstances are at their peak indefinitely. There are small parts that move or move, which means the friction is set in and the accuracy of the operation is degraded.
Moreover, since these firearms are often used outdoors, they are at the mercy of the elements. Rain and snow are going to sink into the gaps and seams of your air rifle. Before you scratch your head, it won’t be long before you keep missing your aim as your weapon becomes useless.Luckily, the air rifle is not that harder to maintain and take care of. If you’re passionate about the field or the craft where you’re using it, you should be able to find the interest and motivation to look after this rifle.
Maintaining Your Air Rifle in Tip-top Situation
Many of the methods and ways to care for and maintain air rifles are so basic and simple yet they are very capable of prolonging and extending their efficiency. Follow these tips and for a longer period of time you will appreciate your best air Rifle. We’ll start with some advice and reminders about what you’re not supposed to do with your air rifle.
1. Avoid dry shooting
Dry shooting cocks a weapon, aims at an imagined goal and then squeezes the button to check the firing pin and logically whether the weapon is functioning. While for frequent firearms this may seem ordinary, this is not suggested in air rifles.The seal and power plant that is essential for adequate projectile propulsion is stressed by dry firing. This could eventually trigger the air gun to fall and cease to work.
2. Use only the right munitions
We are always witnessing how the star runs out of bullets and improvises on ammunition in films and on television, particularly those about action. From cotton balls with crushed glass, silver forks, tiny nails, even sharp sticks soaked in gasoline, almost everything can be used. Improvised ammo, of course, is what saves the day.This is achieved only in the films, very unlikely in true lives and not at all when it comes to air rifles! Unless your life is in risk of your air rifle shooting anything that suits the barrel, load it with the appropriate ammunition only. Proper ammunition implies those produced solely for air rifles, as well as the correct size for optimum barrel charging and shooting.
3. Avoid placing fuel in the compression chamber of the air rifle
Just as the use of incorrect ammunition is not advisable, it is also highly recommended that you do not bring anything fuel into the air rifle’s absorption room.Combustibles include materials such as gasoline, lighter fluid, kerosene. There are those who might feel adventurous (crazy scientists might be more suitable) and bring things like gunpowder, chemicals from households, and perhaps even TNT.This isn’t the MacGyver TV series, it’s true lives! The use of fuels won’t enhance your air rifle. It is likely to ruin it or, worse, it will crash in your fingers and face.
4. Just look up the barrel of the air rifle
The air rifle barrel is where the ammunition accelerates and departs. It is strongly recommended that you inspect it before using it, make sure that there is nothing that could obstruct it and get in the manner like thickened soil or tiny rocks.Forget to verify the barrel and will most likely compromise the trajectory of your ammunition. It may not shoot at all from your weapon either.
5. Test and strap any loose screws, locks or rivets
Air rifles are most probably kept together, particularly around the range of straps and rings, using screws, ties and rivets. Over moment, some of these will tighten and slacken with ongoing use. You should be prepared to wind them back and maintain everything intact with enough patience, understanding and the right instruments. | weapons_science |

I'm old enough to remember when it was Russia propping up North Korea, not the other way around.
One country is a hermit kingdom run by a paranoid dictator overseeing a pervasive cult of personality and a large but hopelessly obsolete military, devoting its scarce resources to a nuclear arsenal with which it blackmails the world into letting it stay in power even as it belligerently torments its neighbors.

Habib, Benjamin Luke
North Korea is unlikely to willingly relinquish its nuclear program because of its importance to the political economy of the DPRK state and the perpetuation of the Kim Jong-il regime. It is clear that the nuclear program has great intrinsic value to Pyongyang, its role as a defensive deterrent and important element in Pyongyang‘s offensive asymmetric war strategy. The nuclear program functions as a bargaining chip in international diplomacy to extract economic inputs for its moribund economy, in domestic politics as vehicle for bureaucratic interests, and as a rallying symbol of the country‘s hyper-nationalist ideology. At the same time, regional states lack a credible strategy for coaxing North Korea into nuclear relinquishment due to their lack of leverage over the Kim regime, the absence of unity in addressing the nuclear issue and the incongruence of their wider strategic goals vis-à-vis North Korea. Given this state of affairs, regional countries will have no choice but to accept North Korea as a nuclear power and manage regional relations through deterrence. To increase the stability of this environment, regional states may consider unconditional normalisation of political and economic relations with North Korea.
