by Vince Tassone
|When a more powerful version of the German Daimler Benz became available, the last Italian fighters of the war were built. These aircraft were on a par with the best American, British, and German aircraft. The Macchi MC.205 was the first Italian airplane to be powered by the new engine, and it was also the first 'Series 5' airplane to see substantial service before the 1943 armistice.
The prototype took to the air on April 19, 1942. It was derived from the MC.202. The only apparent difference between the MC.205 and its predecessor was the engine housing. The MC.205 also had two cyclindercal oil radiators on the sides, while the earlier airplane had a single belly radiator. Because of the greater power of the Daimler Benz DB 605 (1,475 hp), the MC.205 was a far better plane than the MC.202. The prototype reached a speed of 407 mph (655 km/h), and it could gain 20,000 ft (6,096 m) in 4 minutes and 52 seconds. The MC.205 was the first Italian fighter to carry 20 mm cannons on the wings, indispensable for bomber interception. This was the first Italian airplane to be as heavily armed as those of other air forces, and with the bigger and more powerful engine, the MC.205 was an extremely maneuverable airplane, especially at medium and low altitudes.
Large-scale production was ordered at once, but production was slowed down by scarcity of strategic materials and engines. Between October 1942 and September 1943 about 200 aircraft were built. Macchi continued to build the airplane even after the 1943 armistice and another 112 airplanes were built before the assembly line was put out of commission by Allied bombing raids. All these aircraft were delivered to Mussolini's ANR.
The aircraft became operational in 1943 and was used chiefly in the Mediterranean and in Sicily at the time of the Allied invasion. The period of greatest activity, however, was after the 1943 armistice. At this time thirty-four aircraft were used by the Allies, especially on the Yugoslavian front, while in the north there were 29 Macchi MC.205s in addition to the 112 new ones that were already built. All these aircraft remained in active service until the summer of 1944.
A few MC.205s were kept in service after the war. They were assigned to the 5th Fighter Group until 1947 and were then reassigned to flying schools, where they remained operational until as late as 1951.
This is the 1/48 scale Hasegawa MC. 205V Serie III and is painted in the color and camoflauge scheme adopted by the ANR which followed closely the German schemes of the period using RLM 74/75 over RLM 76 with RLM 75 mottles on the fuselage sides. The cockpit interior and the wheel wells were painted Verde Anticorrosione FS 34272. Polly Scale Acrylics were used for all paints. Aeromaster decals were used.
The aircaft depicted is Red 18, 1a Sq., 1o Stormo ANR operating in Northern Italy in 1944. Red 18 was the personal mount of Italian Ace Adriano Visconti who had claimed 14 aerial victories (some sources state 10 confirmed victories) with the RA and the ANR and many more shared and destroyed on the ground and is by far the most reconized Italian Ace of WWII.

These four new nuclear submarines will be deployed in the Kamchatka Peninsula Victory, which is used to strengthen the power of Russian navy in the far East, strengthen the deterrence of the United States.
"The God of the North Wind" dispatched the 955A strategic nuclear submarine was the latest model of the gods strategic nuclear submarine family in the north wind, and the cornerstone of the Russian strategic nuclear force.
In the event of Yeltsin, Russia re-confirmed the important position of nuclear weapons in national security strategy, and the strategic nuclear submarine responsible for nuclear counterattacks was re-received. In 1996, Russia started to build a god-level strategic nuclear submarine of the North Wind, a code 955. Russia plans to build eight nuclear submarines, and after the first three buildings, the ranking is improved, and the model is also changed to 955A.
At the end of 2019, the 955A strategic nuclear submarine took service.
Compared with the top three 955 strategic nuclear submarines, the 955A strategic nuclear submarine adopts more new technologies and new equipment, known as "the real ‘north wind". This level of boat uses digital electronic technology equipment to replace the early analog electronic technology equipment, improve work efficiency; use improved pump spray promotion technology, improve overall mute performance; adopt new muzzle materials and improve the laying method, further reduce the boat noise Horizontal; resetting the sideboard passive sonar arrays, enhances submarine information perception.
The maximum change in the 955A strategic nuclear submarine is to cancel the back full flow cover (commonly known as "turtle back"), while it is completely placed in the boat originally covered by the intercontinental ballistic missile covered by the rectifier cover. According to Russian "Red Star TV Station", the 955A strategic nuclear submarine is 10,000 tons of water drainage, more than 955 strategic nuclear submarines, and 16 "round hammers" intercontinental ballistic missiles are equipped.
This is a solid fuel-three-level ballistic missile that can carry 6 to 10 specified nuclear warheads with a range of more than 8,000 kilometers.
Due to the design of the derived multi-warhead design, and the meniscovers have a strong sense of overactive performance, which is extremely difficult to prevent defense. Russia attaches great importance to the north wind god-level strategic nuclear submarine. Russian President Putin has made it: "Even if the Kremlin is sold, it will create a new generation of submarines in time. Except for the first rider, the current 955A strategic nuclear submarine is at least at least 955A strategic nuclear submarines. There are four ships, and the nuclear submarine for the North Fleet and the Pacific Fleet will be deployed in the future. "Deep Sea Killer" escorted reported that there were 2 885m attack nuclear submarines with 2 955A strategic nuclear submarines. The 885m type is Russia’s 4th Agency-level attack nuclear submarine family main, and Russia is a silent submarine designed for the US Virginia-level attack nuclear submarine. The boat fully exceeds Russia other attack nuclear submarines in the sustain depth, mute performance, and sides of the strait. According to Russian "shipbuilding" magazine, the 885M type attack nuclear submarine is 121 meters long and the drainage is 10,000 tons, and the titanium alloy double (withstand voltage) housing is designed to penetrate the polar ice layer. The biggest subtleties of the taine exceed general attack nuclear submarines, making the enemy detection equipment difficult to track positioning.
The 885m attack nuclear submarine mainly assumes anti-submarine, anti-ship and landing of landing tasks.
The main anti-submarine weapon is the 8 most common tilapia launcher on both sides of the hull, which can transmit the UGST-80, UGST-90 model torpedo and anti-submarine missiles.
UGST-80 fish thundermach, launch weight ton, 300 kg of warhead, 30 sections of speed, 25 kilometers to 40 kilometers, 500 meters depth of war.
UGST-90 torpedo the largest combat depth of 650 meters. In addition, there are 8 missile vertical emission devices after the housing of the podium, up to 3 missiles in each transmitting device, the maximum installation of 24, mainly used to transmit anti-ship missiles, land attack cruise missiles and high speed missile.
At present, the 885m type attack nuclear submarine is already served in the "Kazan", and completed the test test of new cruise missiles such as "zircon" high supersonic missile and "caliber" "缟 agate". The second boat "New Siberia" will be delivered to the Russian Navy this year.
In addition, there are 6 ships that are being built. Creating 4 nuclear submarines of "Far East Barrill" will greatly enhance the underwater combat power of the Russian Pacific Fleet.
Analysis believes that these four nuclear submarines will be deployed in the Kamchatka Peninsula Wei Liu Shi Chile Base.
Here is the largest submarine base built in the Cold War during the Cold War, and dozens of submarines are deployed at this time. Wihuchnesk submarine is built, and the Su Jun chisted the granite hills on the island, and reinforced with reinforced concrete, internal construction of the cave dock.
A series of jobs such as submarine repair, bulk, and sailing are completed in the cave, from the water, and the concealedness is extremely strong.
Russian media reported that the base number 825CTS, the relevant command, residence, training and accessory facilities deployed from 50 meters to 100 meters, and 7 nuclear submarines can be deployed at the same time, store a large number of food, and have a perfect ventilation and purification system. For the relevant personnel to live for 3 years.
Around the Wei Liuchnsk submarine base, the Russian Navy has also built a number of "fortress waters" for ensuring strategic nuclear submarine launch tasks.
In order to ensure the safety of these waters, the Russian army sent a large-scale anti-submarine that sent a self-attacking nuclear submarine to prevent underwater escaping, and responded to the penetration of the enemy’s attack nuclear submarine. With the joining 955A strategic nuclear submarine and the 885m attack nuclear submarine, the Russian Pacific Fleet will be more focus on the US strategic nuclear deterrence, and its attack nuclear submarine can even be out of the Pacific, with the US nuclear submarine. | weapons_science |

Due to this challenge, two things become apparent, you need to have good fighting skills and the right weapon. Otherwise, your character doesn't stand a chance against some of these enemies.
It's worth noting that this game allows for power in each weapon type. Ultimately, the right weapon for you will depend on your playstyle and preferences. However, while each weapon can succeed, some weapon types in Salt and Sacrifice are much better than others.
Bludgeon weapons look brutal. They can do some decent damage, but ultimately, this weapon type is purely for aesthetics and neat Runic Arts. It's a functional style to play and is almost as melee as you can get, but it just never seems to feel powerful.
Unfortunately, the majority of the Bludgeon weapons seem to be unsatisfyingly weak and will only really carry you through the beginning of the game unless you work around the weapon itself. If you're looking for a pure melee weapon, there are other, arguably much better options than Bludgeons.
Most would look at the Rapiers and assume they are powerful, quick, and deadly. While they are definitely quick and often have a relatively high damage output, the low defense lets it down.
Essentially, the Rapier category has a few weapons that do some good damage, but most are below average for a sword. So, adding that with the fact that blocking with them costs so much stamina that it just doesn't feel worth it for the most part. If you hate blocking and never use it in combat, this will be a good weapon to go for – but for those who do, there are better swords for you to choose from.
Although slower than certain other weapon types, this doesn't mean the Halfspears are useless. They're a bit complicated to master and do require an element of practice, but once you feel confident with this weapon type, you'll feel pretty powerful.
It's still a speedy weapon, but this brings with it some interesting power that outshines a fair few other options. It's a bit longer range than the likes of Bludgeons and has a good easy-to-use block system that should keep you safe while you take out enemies.
Highblades are your traditional, simple melee weapons. Salt and Sacrifice introduced a beginner-friendly weapon type that can easily carry anyone through at least the beginning to middle of the game with very little effort and the ability to still look pretty cool. After all, nothing says simple but deadly like a katana-style sword.
While it's perhaps not the most powerful of weapons, it can still pack a punch and shouldn't take much skill or practice to wield properly. After all, the Highblade is essentially a hack, slash, and occasionally block.
Complete with some useful light and heavy combos that seem to be good for any occasion, the Glaive is one of the better weapon types to look at if you've played the game before. The number of available combos requires you to know exactly when to use them and what works best at that time. Due to this, it's not overly beginner-friendly and will be at its strongest with a lot of practice.
Nevertheless, Glaives are powerful and can easily be devastating in a boss battle if used right.
With nine different Whips to opt for, it can be a little difficult to pick the right one, especially when they all look as cool as they do in Salt and Sacrifice. This weapon type is great for its damage, its design, and its ease of use.
Simply attack the enemy over and over again with its above-average speed and watch as you fell them quickly using the average damage. It may not excel on the damage aspect, but the speed and the combos certainly make up for it.
If you want to look like the grim reaper as you go through Salt and Sacrifice, then look no further than the Scythe. It's got some awesome selections for weapons and each of them does an impressive amount of damage while still being able to effectively block and protect you from any unexpected attacks.
It's around the mid-range of great weapons in this game due to the amount of damage it's capable of and the cost of blocking. However, if aesthetics are more your style, this is a great choice.
When it comes to melee weapons, many assume they'll need to thrive in Dexterity or Strength to deal the kind of damage they are looking for. However, sometimes you just want to experiment with a bit of magic and need a weapon to back that up. This is where the Staves come in.
They are all so unique and allow anyone to succeed with their Arcana, Strength, or Dexterity scaling. Ultimately, they're all capable of good damage as long as you pick the right one for your build and playstyle.
If you're looking for decent damage and speed, then the Twindaggers are the best fit. They may not have a high initial damage output, but the quicker you hit, the more damage you'll end up doing in the long run.
The speed at which this weapon hits can be a little disorientating at times, but once you get used to it, you should be able to compensate for the lower damage and become a powerhouse or hits and dodges. It's a perfect weapon type for any wannabe rogues playing Salt and Sacrifice.
Typically in most action-adventure games where two-handed weapons are available to use, they are labeled as being rather slow but extremely heavy and powerful. This is the case for Salt and Sacrifice, so it's worth being careful when selecting this type.
Don't be fooled by the damage output, and consider whether the speed is something that will hold you back from taking down quick enemies that can break through any defenses or any attacks as you're preparing them. With the right skill, this can be fantastic, or it can be extremely frustrating.
Often, when going up against a difficult and powerful boss, it's not about getting as much damage in as quickly as possible. Sometimes it's all about blocking and protecting yourself from attacks as you wait for him to be open for you to go on the offense.
This is where the Vanguards come in. They have a fantastic block and are often considered one of the best blockers in the game. To further how wonderful these are, they also do some impressive damage and can hold their own with beginners and seasoned pros.
If you thought the Twohanders were powerful, then the Greatblade will be your new favorite weapon. Their size alone makes anyone wielding them feel both unstoppable and deadly. Luckily, this weapon has the stats to back up the aesthetics.
It's got the capability to do some fantastic damage and has a decent speed for something so large and cumbersome. Combine that with the relatively good block and some useful combos, and this should be all you need to beat the bosses in Salt and Sacrifice.
While choosing a Greathammer over a Greatblade is ultimately up to you and how you prefer to play the game, this weapon is unbelievably strong. Most of the weapons in this category will carry you throughout the game and will make you feel like a badass fighter who cannot be stopped.
It does some fantastic damage, has some vital blocks, and will bring bosses down with relative ease if you get the timing down. It still requires an element of skill for the most part, but the hits you do land will be incredibly powerful.

As a result they spent a lot of time and effort in constructing their
trench system. Just how well constructed they were started to become
clear to the Allies from 1916 onwards as they started to capture some
of the German trenches. Although the actual trenches differed little
from their own, the Allies found dug-outs up to 20 feet underground,
often reinforced in concrete to prevent collapse and able to accommodate
many men in relative comfort. These shelters often had facilities such
as cookers, a generator to provide electricity and anti-gas curtains.
The German trenches were also very well protected by barbed wire. This
was staked in front of the trenches to slow down any advancing attack
made by the infantry and proved very effective.
used by the Germans was the system of defence in depth. Realising that
although trenches were hard to attack, they were not impregnable, the
Germans started to develop the concept of strength in depth. This meant
building another trench system one or two miles behind the front line
which could be brought into use if necessary. This proved extremely
effective and was one of the reasons why a stalemate developed.
not until the Allies started to develop more effective artillery techniques,
such as the concept of the 'creeping bombardment' and counter-battery,
and started to tie in the work of all the different branches of the
armed forces more successfully that any progress was made. | weapons_science |

They also provide technical support and training services. Their latest Aircraft technology is the Autonomous unmanned fighter jet which they plan to sell to countries around the world changing the landscape of Aerial combat completely.
These fighter Jets have been unveiled and scheduled to start functioning by 2020 and can be customized as per user needs. The jets would fly without a human pilot, but they are designed to fly alongside crewed jets during combat. They are capable of gathering intelligence, performing the waning test, reconnaissance, and surveillance. They are designed to fly for longer periods, withstand higher gravitational force, and process information in real-time.
These aircraft are designed to be more cost-effective than the manned fighter jets although the overall cost is not yet revealed. The aircraft is called the Boing Airpower Teaming System and is designed to help mitigate the major risk during combat fight. Boeing Defense, Space, and Security (BDS) is the second-largest defense contractor in the world and is responsible for the Unmanned fighter jets.
Although these machines are called fighter jets, the term is used to specify an aircraft designed to shoot down other aircraft, and they are super flexible. The machines were designed to be able to outfit with payloads, sensors and a different mission set different from that of a manned fighter jet. The unmanned fighter jets are military aircraft designed for air to air combat as opposed to a bombers and that has capabilities of ground attack. They are super-fast, able to maneuver, and very small in size compared with another kind of aircraft. They are built to enable countries to establish air superiority with an advanced AI mechanism
They provide a disruptive advantage, threat detection, and measures almost 12 meters. With its ability to reconfigure quickly and perform different types of missions in conjunction with other aircraft they add to Boeing portfolio and would be a force multiplier as it protects and projects air power of a countries Navy.
Russia has also revealed its futuristic space drone, which can fly at blistering speeds of up to 2,401 meters per second.
Boeing Unmanned MQ-25 fighter Jet is ready
The Boeing Unmanned fighter jets is an aircraft system designed for the world Navy that provides needed robust refueling capabilities enabling it covers more distance and extending its combat range. Boeing has delivered aircraft carrier for more than 90 years across the globe. The fighter jets brings together a seamless carrier deck integration to deliver solutions that meet the US Navy requirements; it is seamless and brings together the right combination of refueling with a low cost.
Australian Navy has unveiled a version of this system. The US Navy on August 30, 2018, awarded Boeing an $805 million contract to build an MQ-25 Operational carrier unmanned aircraft. Under this agreement, Boeing would provide four aircrafts for the US navy. These aircraft can carry out roles such as intelligence, reconnaissance, give early warning.
Boeing deployed a wide range of industry team to achieve the unmanned aircraft fighter jet. They include Aitech Defense Systems, General Electric, BAE Systems, Collins Aerospace, Cox & Company, Crane Aerospace & Electronics, Cubic, Curtiss-Wright Defense Solutions, Harris Corporation, Héroux-Devtek, Honeywell, Innovative Power Solutions, L3 Commercial Aviation, Moog Aircraft Group, Parker Hannifin, Raytheon, Rolls-Royce and Triumph Group
The Boeing MQ-25 unmanned fighter jet is not the first military AI system built in the world; the United Kingdom is building its AI-controlled fighter jet and drones. Russia has unveiled its new semi-autonomous robot tanks and currently building unmanned jets.
The US is also working on an AI-based craft called the Skyborg and plans on unveiling a working version by 2021 which would be able to operate autonomously. Skyborg would incorporate an AI system that can fly an unmanned aircraft with minimal, or no human intervention. The system would use software that is modular and open architecture so that it can swiftly add new and complex self-reliant behaviors into its advanced computer brain in the future. Another goal of Skyborg is to deploy a modular, fighter-like aircraft that can be used to quickly update and field iteratively more complex autonomy to support the warfighter.
Russia is developing a 6th generation fighter jet known as the Mikoyan MiG-41 that would have both the manned and unmanned versions. The unmanned version would be pilotless. This would be a fighter interceptor and would most likely be completed by 2025 and to be in service by 2027. Its primary mission is to offset reconnaissance aircraft such as the Boeing unmanned fighter jet been developed by the US. The MiG-14 would have an anti-missile laser, operate at a high altitude and even near space with super-sonic speed cruising at 3,3675km/h; 2,284 mph and fly at an altitude between the stratopause and the tropopause.
Fighter Jets Pilots could soon have Drones as Wingmen
Drone technology is nothing new to the world military. Many drones have been deployed and already in use, but Boeing is taking drone technology to a new level. This would be designed by Boeing Airpower System and built in the company’s Australian division. Six of these aircraft would be unmanned but fly along-side a traditional fighter jet with a human pilot taking instructions from him and giving him extra protection and more firepower. Interesting and out of science fiction, isn’t it?
Boeing said the artificial intelligence (AI) installed on the aircraft will allow it to fly independently. They may be able to attack target independently but would take instructions from a human pilot before carrying out attacks. The first versions would take to air in 2020 in Australia and manufacturing could expand to other countries as well.
The Boeing Airpower Teaming System is the company’s first unmanned system developed in Australia and designed for global defense customers. After its completion military pilots would have a new kind of flight partners known as WingMen, these are sensor studded Ariel drones that have the capability of flying into enemy targets instead of a human pilot. These would spare pilots lives, prevent loss of sophisticated jet fighters, amplify air power of the Navy, and a complete game-changer.
These fighter jets would be powered with an artificial intelligence system that gives them the ability to fly, learn, and respond to the needs of pilots and would generally operate with minimal inputs from human pilots. The term for this is known as quarterbacking in the Air force, meaning the pilot is calling the play and knows how the system would respond to his instructions but wouldn’t run the play for them.
Germany and France are other nations that are aiming at building a next-generation fighter that would act as a flying command center for swarms of the fighter drones.
The Future of Wingmen Drone system
Experts in AI are questioning if it makes sense to send humans along-side drones. Even though this system gives more security to the pilot, they are still in harm’s way. They say people should rather be on the ground in base stations or air-born command centers and give orders to combat drones and let them carry out the mission instead of going to the battlefield with the drones. Giving the rise of AI and drones, this is possible and a safer strategy which would save life and cost of $100 million in sophisticated jets.
Sending a human pilot to combat alongside drones as their wingmen add to their responsibilities and still exposes them to some form of risk.
Experts have concluded that future wars will be incomparable to recent and past conflicts. They warn that developed nations are going into AI arms race and these programs can wipe out infrastructures and nations with a single line of code. | weapons_science |

It involves the use of advanced technology and modern design to prevent the aircraft from getting caught by the radar. It also makes use of technical materials that helps the aircraft in deceiving the radars. In short, this technology makes the aircraft and different equipment less visible to radars and other detection devices. In this article, you will get the entire information about how does stealth work.
So How Does Stealth Work?
The use of stealth technology has increased to a great extent in the military equipment. The continuous rise in it can be attributed to the advantages that it gives. The ability to hoax the radars and making the movement of aircraft easier are beneficial for military operations. It makes the aircraft, submarines, missiles, and ships less visible to the radars, infrared rays, and other detection devices. It has gained popularity in recent days as most of the countries want to attain protection from their enemy countries.
But it is interesting to know how this stealth works and accomplish the different missions. First of all, it is better to know about how does the radar works. The radar sends the radio pulse in the direction in which it finds the object. In other words, it transmits the signals in that direction and checks for the presence of the target.
In case, these signals get reflected back to the radar, then it will be caught by a receiving antenna. The collected signals are then interpreted into the form of a blip on the radar screen. It is found that the size of the blip depends upon the volume of signals reflected back by the target. It means that the more the signals received by the antenna, the bigger the blip will be and vice-a-versa.
The way stealth works is that it is designed to hoax this radar and ensure that the specific object can easily move and accomplish its target. It works in two ways:
- Absorption of the signals, and
- Deflection of the radio pulses
In the first method, the stealth works its magic by absorbing the radio waves emitted by the radar. It means that the waves that come from the radar reach the object but don’t get reflected back to the radar antenna. It is absorbed by the stealth aircraft and doesn’t get back to the radar system.
This absorption is done either through the radio-absorbing material such as dielectrics and composites or through the paint. Both these things work effectively in this purpose. All this happens through a mechanism. The coming radio waves are converted into heat energy and get absorb within that material or paint.
In another way also, the stealth work by absorption of signals. The aircraft with stealth technology has small pyramids like structures on the exterior of the plane. Between these pyramids, the radio signals absorbent material is present that fulfils this task. It works in the way that these pyramids make the radio waves bounce towards the radio absorbent material. Then, it stops the waves from getting reflected back to the radar.
The second method involves the deflection of the radio pulses. The aircraft deceives the waves by the process of deflection. The aircraft contains a lot of angles which make the radio pulses bounce in different directions other than the normal path. This makes the particles of the waves weaker and is reflected in a very small amount. It is not possible for the radar to use them and track the object. Also, no flat surfaces are present in it. It provides a great benefit to the aircraft to fly closer to the radar without being detected.
The above ways don’t make the aircraft invisible to the radar but it delays the entire procedure of the radar system. This means that the radar will catch the aircraft after a specific time. But it is enough for the aircraft to complete its mission and is about to return to its place. So, it is better to say that stealth technology is a ‘low-observable’ technology.
Future Advancements in The Way Stealth Work
The way stealth work is constantly evolving. The use of this technology is extending from the aircraft and ships to missiles and satellites. It helps in getting protection from the enemy countries as well as receiving upgraded equipment for the military. However, there are some disadvantages also, which are against the stealth technology such as:
- With the rapid changes in the technology of the radar systems, stealth technology is working for only a certain range of radar pulses. The modern radar systems like L-Band radar are capable of tracking the location of aircraft with stealth technology.
- Many radars have the capability to search for the objects in a particular area. The advanced system of Infrared Search and Track is making possible the task of tracing the stealth aircraft. Even it has the potential to detect it quickly. It makes use of the Infrared Signatures of the aircraft to complete this task.
- Another minus to the stealth technology or stealth aircraft is that it becomes visible whenever it releases its missiles or weapons.
- Another drawback of this technology is that it requires a very huge cost for manufacturing. Also, the cost of operating and maintaining it involves a large expenditure.
In the future, stealth technology is believed to get more advance and accurate. This means that it will be able to counter modern radars and reduce its limitations to a great extent. In the future course of time, the use of this technology will be extended to more of the military weapons. The transport aircraft, rotary wings, and other military bases will come under the influence of this technology. Its use will expand and play an important role in air weapons.
The advancement will come which can beat the radar systems and use some other devices to deceive them. Efforts will be made to reduce the costs of the stealth-based weapons. However, the challenge of beating future radars will also remain. As the radar systems will also get more advanced and quicker and thus, may fail this technology. Overall, it is expected that both stealth technology and radar systems will be developed in the way that they can counter each other.
They way stealth work is one of the best secret for the stealth technology companies. Beyond the basic working, not much is available in the public domain. However, stealth technology is an integral part of the aircraft and other military weapons.
The thing behind its increasing use is that it can protect them from the radars and further retaliation of the enemy country. This increases the safety of the military resources and also improves the possibility of proper completion of the mission. In the future also, the use of this technology will continue and even expand to most of the equipment. It is expected that the use of this technology will continue for many years and serve the aircrafts with its service.

VIENNA (AP) — Iran has resolved two excellent inquiries of the Worldwide Atomic Power Company, a report seen Wednesday by The Related Press mentioned.
The confidential quarterly report by the Vienna-based IAEA mentioned inspectors not had questions on uranium particles discovered to be enriched to 83.7% at its underground Fordo facility.
The report mentioned investigators even have closed off their investigation of traces of synthetic uranium discovered at Marivan, close to the town of Abadeh, some 525 kilometers (325 miles) southeast of Tehran. Analysts had repeatedly linked Marivan to Iran’s secret navy nuclear program and accused Iran of conducting high-explosives checks there within the early 2000s.
The report comes as tensions between Iran and the West have escalated over its nuclear program. Tehran additionally has confronted mass protests just lately and anger from the West over it arming Russia with bomb-carrying drones now concentrating on Ukraine.

Our goal is for our customers to be happy with our product, and ultimately their firearm!Sylvan Arms has announced the release of the third generation of their AR hinged folding stock adapters. As stated by the company, the main differences of Gen3 adapter from the previous generation are the lowered hinge and stronger, more durable design.
Sylvan Arms hinged folding stock adapter allows you to fold the stock on your AR pattern rifle for ease of storage and carrying the weapon. For folding the stock, you need to press the button on the side of the adapter and to unfold it, you simply need to flip it back because it is not locked in the folded position.
I wonder if it is possible to design such adapters with a built-in mechanism that will prevent accidentally firing the gun when the stock is folded or not completely unfolded … maybe the hinging part could also pull the BCG out of battery? What do you guys think? The Sylvan Arms hinged folding stock adapter is CNC machined out of aluminum and has a black hard coat anodized finish. The hinging part has a built-in buffer retaining pin to capture the buffer and recoil spring when the stock is folded.
There is also a QD sling swivel socket at the rear portion of the adapter. As you can see in the above-embedded image, the adapter creates a gap between the bolt carrier and the buffer due to its 1. To compensate for this gap, the adapter comes with a bolt extension piston see below that is inserted into the bolt carrier tail to bridge that gap. The weight of the adapter is 6oz and the bolt extension weighs 2. That 2.

Fits Yugoslavian patterned AKs. Shop By Category.It is my primary long-range shooter. The gun is chambered in. It is perfect for me with one exception. That one exception is that I have to remove the stock on my to remove the bolt.
This inconvenience makes cleaning my Remington a real pain in my butt. Not only that but every time I have to clean my gun I have to spend valuable time on the range to adjust my stock back to my preferred position.
Luckily for me, MDT Tactical released folding stock adapters. These adapters let the user fold their stock to the side of their rifle similar to a side folding AK. When I saw the new accessories, I was very intrigued. In fact, most of the top chassis makers use this design to attach stocks to the rifles.
MDT Tactical offered to send me two of their folding stock adapters of try out. The first was one-way locking adapter and the second was a two-way locking adapter. I decided to try both out to see which one if either would work for my set up.
Both MDT adapters are available in fixed-to-fixed, fixed-to-carbine, carbine-to-carbine, and carbine-to-fixed designs. The wide range of choices increases the number of people that can use the adapters. The adapter that will work for you will depend on your stock and rifle chassis. MDT made both of their folding stock adapters out of solid airplane-grade anodized aluminum.
It feels heavy and expensive. The finish of the adapters was flawless. They made these adapters to be able to be used in the field so they can take a real beating. Another advantage of the MDT chassis folding stock adapters is that it makes the rifle easier transport. I now think that all precision rifles should include a folding stock. The first folding stock adapter I tried was the one-way locking folding adapter. I attached the adapter to the chassis and then inserted the setscrew.
It was a real challenge screwing the screw down, but I was able to get it in place finally. I screwed in the carbine buffer tube and attached the stock. | weapons_science |

The Polygon Semipalatinsk Test Site is a radio active site located about 150 km from Semey Kazakhstan. Over 400 nuclear tests took place in the Polygon by the USSR. The area of 18,000 km square km is frequently grazed by area shepherds and cattle-herders. Soil pollutants make their way into the grasses that in turn are eaten by the animals.
These herders live near an atomic lake which was made during the 1970s as part of an experiment by the USSR to create lakes from atomic bombs. | weapons_science |

The process is the following: Godzilla’s dorsal fins glow blue and white ominously, before he lets loose with a concentrated blast of radiation from his mouth. This power is commonly mistaken for breathing literal fire. Mothra, the Kamakiras, and Hedora were defeated by Godzilla’s lethal radiation beam.
Godzilla has been shown apparently being able to adjust the intensity of his ray, varying from a blast of superheated vapour (such as in the 1950s and 1960s), to a beam with explosive and kinetic properties, (in the 1970s and onward.) The ray is usually portrayed as being neon blue, though in Godzilla 2000 and Godzilla vs. Megaguirus, it is a reddish orange.
In Godzilla vs. Megaguirus the ray was shown to have incredible incendiary properties and was powerful enough to destroy a miniature black hole, while in Godzilla: Final Wars, it possessed incredible range, amazing power and pin-point accuracy, able to hit a target in outer space and kill most kaiju with a single shot. In a memorable (and somewhat infamous) scene in Godzilla vs. Hedorah, Godzilla even used his atomic breath to fly by aiming it at the ground and lifting off like a rocket.
When Godzilla’s dorsal plates began to melt and his heart was nearing the meltdown stage, the radiation increased his breath’s power to the point that buildings that were near its path blew up.
This new red breath was used on Destroyah who took fatal damage. The red spiral atomic breath was used in the Heisei films Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla II, Godzilla vs. SpaceGodzilla, Godzilla vs. Destoroyah and the Millennium film Godzilla: Final Wars. The orange atomic breath seen in Godzilla 2000 and Godzilla vs. Megaguirus which was as powerful as its blue counterpart is not the Red Spiral Atomic Breath, but a recoloring of the standard blue atomic breath.
A variation of the standard atomic ray in the Heisei series was the red “spiral ray” that he acquired as a result of absorbing the Rodan’s life energy. This ray was so powerful that only a few blasts of it were sufficient to completely destroy Mechagodzilla and SpaceGodzilla. However, Destoroyah was able to withstand several hits of the “spiral ray.”
Godzilla’s red spiral atomic breath appeared in times when Godzilla was under extreme duress. However in Godzilla vs. Destoroyah the spiral atomic breath completely replaced the normal atomic breath, due to the amounts of power his nuclear heart was giving off. It is so powerful that only one blast of it was sufficient to completely destroy Super Mechagodzilla and SpaceGodzilla, though Destoroyah was barely able to withstand several hits.
In MultiVerse’s Godzilla vs. Kong, Godzilla’s breath has grown more powerful. Like in other series, this breath was used to damage major human settlements as well as Kong. A point-blank atomic ray, however, had never damaged Kong’s battle axe. The breath is also shown, when fully charged, to be powerful enough to bore straight into the Earth’s core. In the official novelization for Godzilla vs. Kong, it is stated that Godzilla got his atomic breath from an energy source in the Hollow Earth. The Iwi called it eating a star and spitting its rays out. During the battle with Mechagodzilla, Godzilla’s atomic breath could match Mechagodzilla’s proton scream. | weapons_science |

The portion of the bullet that makes contact with the rifling grooves inside a barrel’s bore as it is propelled by burning gunpowder is, indeed, measured in inches or millimeters and is commonly referred to as “caliber”. The cheaper the ammo, the more bang for your buck (literally). It is already quiet, due to its low velocity. “Caliber” is a word people often use and misuse when talking about guns. This round doesn’t excel in any one single area but as more of an all-around performer. Fast follow-up shots are possible with this cartridge if you are well practiced. Handgun Ballistics . Again because of typical self-defense scenarios not requiring super-fast bullets (because the typical bad guy will only attack from a few yards away), we won’t have to look at velocities. The .357 sig was an answer to many law enforcement agencies that still want the performance of their .357 Magnum revolver’s while still moving to a semi-automatic pistol. The only thing that should concern anyone when choosing a semi-auto handgun caliber just for plinking is price. But it was manageable in the full-size guns that were originally designed for police officers to carry this cartridge with.

More expensive than auto rounds. But I digress. You’re not likely to find any in stock! Powerful ammunition with slightly lighter kick, remember the .41 Magnum. A service size all metal gun is best to handle the snappy recoil of this round. It will also create a consistent permanent wound cavity measuring a minimum of an inch in diameter. The 460 Rowland, another similar powerhouse of a wildcat, is just a hair short of muzzle energy but it’s the most expensive medium game cartridge. Scopes are real accurate for long range shots but rendered useless for bullets with poor ballistic coefficient. A good compromise between diameter and magazine capacity. Eventually being replaced by the .40 S&W because less and less gunpowder was being added. this is the most prolific handgun caliber in the world.

Specifically, automotive doors and window glass. eval(ez_write_tag([[580,400],'gunnewsdaily_com-medrectangle-3','ezslot_3',112,'0','0'])); To make the comparisons easier, we’re categorizing handgun calibers based on their launching platforms i.e. This allows you to match your wants with a choice from our list. It is a fabled handgun round in the favorite of many many people. But there’s a catch — these new fluted bullet designs can be really expensive. Round per round, the .38 Special +P isn’t that much more expensive compared to the .357 magnum, it’s only a $0.07 difference at most. Some studies attribute falling down or “knock down” to solely psychological re… There are more pistols being sold now than ever before. Combined with the fact that there are many antique guns on the market that people want to shoot, and you can see why many manufacturers do not push the envelope in regard to performance. Snappy recoil without much gain in terminal performance. The revolver calibers below are the only three that I think will be great for hunting deer up to a hundred yards away. If there is any it will be expensive. The graph below compares them on per-round cost. Tons of guns on the market. Both 14-in and 16-in navy guns were common in World War II. A 50 caliber 16 inch gun (16 inch diameter shell), has a barrel length (muzzle to breech) of 50 × 16 = 800 in (66 ft 8 in). The largest of the practical handgun round that can be mastered by the everyday person. Yet with a fluted bullet design it can go toe to toe against its bigger brother, the 9mm (FMJ) and even surpass the .45 ACP (JHP) in terms of penetration and wounding capability. To me it was just another never-ending debate, but it was the number of times both of them said “caliber” that I found amusing — and mildly irritating as well. If you’re revolver lover, this is the Holy Grail. The heavier a handgun is, the more recoil energy it will absorb. Compare ammunition from all manufacturers on one easy chart, sorted by caliber. I think you’ll agree that new technologies have shifted the lines of what calibers and cartridges are capable of. Yes, it is THE most powerful production revolver which also makes it THE most powerful production handgun in the whole world, and Smith and Wesson wouldn’t make such a grand claim if their 50-caliber revolver chambers anything that isn’t the most powerful 50-caliber round on the market, the .500 S&W Magnum. This is an excellent caliber! That extra velocity causes the bullet to break up and wall boards much quicker. Deer and pronghorns are the primary specie… While often referred to as the “.44 Magnum of the semi-auto world” it is much more on par with the .357 Magnum. At $0.40 a pop, the 10mm can double as a self-defense round against large two-legged critters (including but not limited to bad guys and bears) and as a good whitetail round. Fewer guns to choose from. You can’t beat the economy and a sheer number of choices available on the market. Rivals small rifle rounds for lethality. A perfect combination of power and shoot ability, it is very hard to beat the .357 Magnum cartridge.

The clip ensures a comfortable and secure carry of the blade. The slim and lightweight build also provides daily carry comfort that you will appreciate during your fishing and camping trips.
Gerber Knives Buyer’s Guide
As you can probably realize by now, not all Gerber knives are made equal. Each comes with its own specifications that may be suitable for some people but unsuitable for others.
If you want to independently shop for the best Gerber knife without relying on our reviews, so keep these things in mind to help you make an informed decision:
Designed in Oregon
Gerber knives have been tooled and handcrafted in Portland, Oregon, since 1939. The factory uses about 686,000 lbs of steel per year in making its iconic knives.
Seasoned master craftsmen who are experts in blade sharpening ensure each knife is perfect before it is shipped out. Make sure the Gerber knife you get is made at this location, even the handle.
Each blade on a Gerber knife is sharp, but some may be sharper than others right out of the box. The fact is that the sharper the blade, the better it will perform, especially if you find yourself out in the wilderness.
Gerber knives are made from high-grade 100% stainless steel. While the blade is not entirely resistant to rust, it is corrosion-resistant. Corrosion is imminent if you fail to maintain the edge. It should be cleaned, dried, and re-oiled regularly to prevent rust from forming, especially if the knife is used in a damp environment.
The rubber-made handle of Gerber knives features grooves, which ensure a sturdy and anti-slip grip. The best ones come with a 3-way clip system, which gives users several options for carrying the knife.
Some Gerber knives are ideal for camping trips, while others can cut fishing lines and even fillet fish in a pinch. For the former, you should choose a knife that has a serrated edge (such as the Gerber L.M.F. ii Survival knife), which can carve through wood and dense foliage.
For the latter, go for a knife like Gerber Paraframe, which has a straight, razor-sharp edge and offers precision when slicing and cutting. Keep in mind that serrated knives cannot be sharpened easily.
Frequently Asked Questions
The ideal carry knife is one that can meet your needs out in the wild. Go for a serrated or straight-edge folding knife that can be stowed and carried around safely.
Gerber uses high-grade 100% stainless steel to craft the blade of its knives.
They are designed and engineered in the brand’s factory in Portland, Oregon.
It is a knife blade style that slopes on the spine from the handle and straight to the tip. In contrast, a tanto point is a bit thicker and forces a small change in the blade’s bevel angle.
The ideal Gerber pocket blade is one that you can use safely with ease and can be stowed effortlessly. However, without regular maintenance, any knife’s quality WILL decline fast. If the blade gets dull with use, it’s better to send it to the Portland factory to get re-sharpened, especially if you have no experience doing this yourself. | weapons_science |

Every weapon has it’s own unique qualities, making weapon choice more than just picking the one that does more damage. The humble staff becomes an amazing defensive weapon, while Fighters will carry and use multiple weapons as each has advantages and disadvantages in different situations. However, Weapon Mastery does cause one tiny little issue; it totally breaks the system. So how can we use what’s good without breaking the balance of power?
So what’s the Problem?
Weapon Mastery can allow a thief to do 64HP damage on a single backstab with the humble non-magical dagger. On the high end a fighter with 18 Strength (or Gauntlets of Ogre Power) can strike with a Voulge for 70HP damage with each attack, while being able to attack up to four times per round for a net damage output of 280HP in one round, and that’s without many potential bonuses such as Girdle of Giant Strength or magical bonuses on his weapon. We’re talking about being able to kill multiple huge dragons in a single round!
Then if we include other effects, many weapons allow blows to be reflected so you could technically have a little halfling parrying aside the blows of the Ruler of all Dragons. Or perhaps the archer might just stun the dragon with a single arrow shot, stopping it from attacking at all. Needless to say, this silliness needs a bit of a rethink.
Weapon Mastery should never be thrown out though, as it serves many excellent roles in the game. Just a few of those things are:
- Excellent money sink as weapon mastery when done by the book rules is really really expensive.
- Roleplaying opportunities abound as characters try to seek out rare weapon masters and beg them for training. Adventure hooks therefore abound.
- Each weapon gains a unique identity. For example, a dwarf with an axe kills monsters better than one with a sword, yet the sword is better when facing weapon using foes. The dagger which is almost never taken from people even in urban cities becomes the backup weapon it should always have been.
- Greater group dynamics as each character will seek out how to work with the party to get the most from their skills.
- Fighters will master more weapons than other classes with the same XP, making the fighter a more versatile combatant.
Managing the Power Creep
So how do we keep what’s good, while mitigating the bad? There are five main components to each mastery; Primary/secondary targets, Bonus to hit, damage output, defense bonus and special effects. Let’s tackle each in turn.
Primary/ Secondary targets will be one of three types, weapon users, monsters/missile or all, which means there is no secondary target. What this means is that the other four elements are all effected by the type of target being attacked. If the target fits into the primary category (or all) then you do more damage, get more defence and more bonuses to hit. My recommendation on this is to leave it alone as is and be sure to apply the adjustments to the game. This limits the overall effect of the other elements.
Bonus to hit grants +2 to hit for Skilled Mastery +2 for each level after up to the max of +8. Halve these values for the Secondary target type. I really really love that skill should be a greater determinator than the degree of magic on a weapon. It also makes weapons like the spear and staff really versatile weapons. However, once you combine these bonuses with the Fighter Combat Options, you end up with a serious power instability. Even at low levels, a +2 to hit for being Skilled is a massive advantage. My suggestion is that the Primary target type grants half the bonus, +1 to +4, while the weapon user gain no bonus to hit against secondary targets.
Damage output just needs a little bit of basic logic. The increase to damage done comes from a greater degree of technique which allows the wielder to strike at more vulnerable points. Remember, according to Pg 7 of the Rules Cyclopedia, “Your character’s hit point score represents his ability to survive injury. Ergo, a weapon master strikes more injurious blows. Therefore, any creature lacking in the usual anatomy cannot be injured to a greater extent than any normal blow. This will include all fungi, moulds, jellies, constructs, and even most undead. In addition, can you really hurt a dragon more using good technique? It can be argued that you can, so launching a sling into a dragon’s eye should have the capacity to stun. However, I’ve found that even if it’s only for rule balance, ruling that all large creatures only take base weapon damage like always helps keep the big scary monsters actually scary. A party shouldn’t be killing an entire flight of dragons in one round.
The Defence bonus is actually just fine right where it is. Just be sure to track how many attacks the AC bonus can be applied before it runs out.
Special Effects need to have the same logic applied as was applied to damage. Do you really thing a normal human could possibly deflect away a dragon’s Crush attack with a short sword? Large creature shouldn’t be impacted by Special Effects, yet it would be fair to allow those effects to be applied by smaller undead and other creature with no discernible vulnerable points. Basic logic should also apply here, in that it’s fine to deflect the touch of a spectre, but only if yo u have a magical blade because otherwise the spectre’s hand will pass right through your blade.
One last option with regard to large targets, it might be fair to apply special effects and damage up to the same HD limits listed for Dismay. This means full mastery effects are used up to the following Mastery Caps:
- Basic Mastery – No change on Large class opponents
- Skilled Mastery – Large monsters up to 4HD
- Expert Mastery – Large monsters up to 8HD
- Master Mastery – Large monsters up to 12HD
- Grand Master – Large monsters up to 16HD
Weapon Mastery is a brilliant system and one of the things which makes Classic D&D such an awesome system. However, to give it the advantages it has while still keeping a balanced game, make the following changes:
- Do use Primary and Secondary target types
- Half the to-hit bonus for the Primary types, while giving zero bonus to-hit for secondary types.
- Keep Defence bonuses as is.
- Increased damage only applies to Small and Medium targets which have determinable and vulnerable anatomy.
- Special Effects cannot be applied to Large targets. | weapons_science |

Guide: Ballistic Weaponry
Be sure to check out my previous guide: Energy Weaponry
When logging into Mechwarrior: Online as a new player, it’s easy to be overwhelmed by the bewildering array of weapons on offer; there are literally dozens. Of those, you can select a fully customizable array, numbering from one to ten or more. As if this wasn’t enough, you’re not going to be using these weapons one at a time- you’ll be firing multiple weapons at a time, or perhaps all at once. You won’t have one trigger- you’ll have three to six.
These options can easily run away from a new player. Hopefully, the following guide will give you a brief introduction to weapon types, individual weapons, their strengths, weaknesses, and synergies.
Firstly, welcome to first-time Mechwarriors. This is part two in my series of tutorials outlining the basics of all weapons in Mechwarrior: Online. Part one covered energy weapons, and part two will cover ballistics, a personal favourite of mine.
Ballistic weapons are more traditional weapons: they fire a lump of metal at something you want to destroy. This lump comes in the form of ammunition. There are a number of disadvantages to carrying ammunition.
Firstly, it can run out. Running out of ammunition renders a weapon useless for the rest of the match.
Secondly, it can explode. If your armour is stripped and the location holding ammunition is hit, the ammunition has a chance to explode. This causes catastrophic damage to your mech, oftentimes blowing a part of your mech clean off!
Thirdly, it weighs a lot. Each ballistic weapon will require multiple tons of ammunition to fuel it, adding weight that isn’t cooling your mech, adding to your firepower, or making you faster.
Ballistic weapons themselves also tend to weigh a lot. Besides the machine gun, there are no real “small” ballistic weapons, with the smallest autocannon weighing in at 6 tons dry- you’ll still need at least a ton of ammo! This puts it at the same weight as the heaviest energy weapons available. Once you’ve equipped your mech with something like a Gauss Rifle or an AC/20 and collected enough ammo to use it in a protracted fight, that weapon alone will be approaching the weight of an entire light mech.
Despite their need for vast amounts of weight and ammunition, ballistic weapons tend to generate far less heat than energy weapons. Running cool means a lot in a fight. Ballistic weapons thus have a poor damage-to-weight ratio, but a good damage-to-heat ratio.
Like PPCs (covered in part 1), ballistics require travel time to reach their target, but will deal all their damage at once as they hit.
Autocannons come in various bores. The smaller the bore, the less damage they do, but the longer their range. Smaller autocannons also have a better fire rate. Autocannon rounds will droop with range, meaning that when taking very long shots, you will need to aim above your target.
The AC/2 has an extreme range and fire rate, but runs quite hot for a ballistic weapon. It has the disadvantage of needing to look at your target non-stop to use it, but the damage dealt is quite good. This is another weapon best taken in a pair, or in extreme cases, four on a Jagermech.
The AC/5 has great range and decent damage, coupled with low heat. A decent choice, but comes into it’s own when used in multiples.
Not a bad weapon, but again, for two more tons, you can get the big daddy- the AC/20. If critical space is an issue, the Gauss Rifle probably has you covered. If you really don’t have the weight, though, this could be the gun for you. One thing it does better than the AC/20 and Gauss Rifle, though, is fire rate. Letting off a large round every 2.5 seconds can make for a relentless assault, but does let you look away while reloading to protect your vital components.
When you get hit by one of these, you know all about it. Dealing crippling damage at close ranges, it can open up smaller mechs with ease. The weapon is, however, incredibly large, so fitting it in a torso means no ExtraLight (XL) engine, and most mechs have lower arm actuators, which means there just isn’t enough space. If you can afford to pay the price, though, it’s a devastating weapon.
Ultra autocannons are much like their vanilla brethren, but can fire once during each cooldown (with a chance of jamming for a few seconds). This means that, for short bursts, they can deal obscene amounts of damage.
Again, we have only one of these available until the Inner Sphere gets into it’s stride (and steals things from the Clans), but it’s still a very useful piece of kit:
Ultra Autocannon/5 (UAC/5)
The UAC/5 in the patch preceding launch was an absolute monster. At the time of writing though, it has received a nerf, so we have to wait and see if it brings it back in line. As it stands, it is a regular AC/5 that you can fire once during it’s cooldown and risk a 20% jam chance. It is a ton heavier, though, and carries less ammunition per ton, so the AC/5 is still to be considered if weight is an issue.
It is a decent choice as a main weapon for a lighter mech, but taken in multiples can lay down a torrent of lead that can take down almost anything.
What does LB-X stand for? No one really knows. No matter, it’s just a big shotgun. The spread lets you pepper enemies at all ranges, but will not deal true focussed damage until the ranges close to point-blank. What sets the weapon apart, though, is that each weapon has an enhanced chance of scoring a critical hit on a component (damaging and possibly destroying a weapon, heat sink, etc). It also deals large amounts of damage to exposed internals. The number is the number of pellets fired. To make the weapon even more attractive, they’re lighter than regular autocannons. Again, only one weapon to enjoy in this class for now:
LB Autocannon/10-X (LB/10-X)
This weapon sees more use than the AC/10, partially because of the weight savings, and partially because of the crit-seeking capabilities. A favorite is a Jagermech with multiple LB/10-X and machine guns (which share the critical hit capabilities). This build is showcased in Unstruck’s guide.
All in all, a decent choice if you can’t use an AC/20 or Gauss. Just make sure you get the best out of the crit seeking!
The Gauss rifle is another enormous weapon. It doesn’t do as much damage as the AC/20, but it makes up for it with extreme range, almost no heat, no projectile drop, and it’s ammunition doesn’t explode! What’s the bad news? The gun itself can explode. The previous patch also introduced a mechanic where the weapon needs to be charged before it’s fired. Hold down the trigger for 0.75 seconds, and the weapon is charged. Let go, and it fires. Hold on for too long, and the weapon discharges again. It makes it tricky to use in a close-range maelstrom, but not impossible.
The weapon is a ton heavier than an AC/20, but gets more ammunition per ton, so it evens out. This is a good choice, particularly if you don’t have the crit space for an AC/20.
This is an oddball amongst the ballistic weapons. It only weighs half a ton, and does precious little damage, but it can be taken in large numbers (slots permitting), and has the same crit-seeking properties of the LB/10-X. Take as many as you can, and go for the internals! They can be used to great effect, and just the sound they provide makes them fun to use.
I love ballistics. The visceral sounds they generate really make using them fun, from large single shots to barrages of small-bore autocannon fire. They are heavy, so your builds will tend to be built around them, but they are a rewarding weapon.
As I said in the last guide, everything I’ve said is accurate for the launch patch (17/09/2013). As always, there are many different ways to make things work, especially in Mechwarrior: Online, so feel free to recommend odd combinations and uses in the comments!
Next time around, I’ll cover missile weapons. | weapons_science |

You can see this sort of sword that’s been found in many movies and literature because of its specific and elegant design. Katana sword has the capacity to cut down the enemy in one single fell swoop. A good thing to understand concerning the katana sword is that it’s one of the very sought historical weapons used by people over the world. In lots of countries, these katana swords will also be referred to as samurai swords because of their traditional features and hand-made designs. In order to make battle-ready swords, these swords are precisely molded by the metal by the blacksmiths. Furthermore, they are able to select the advanced blacksmithing process for these swords with the aid of technology. Fashioning a katana sword is likely to kind could be easy with little guidance and try their hands to make these kinds of swords. Make a search on the below mentioned site, if you are seeking for additional information about wakizashi.
The making means of katana swords requires heat and an extended piece of steel to organize the forge. You can find different sizes of steel and items that can be used to get ready the katana sword for a warrior and other sword enthusiasts. With this specific thing, blacksmiths produce a beautiful design of a sword of knife size. People also would rather opt for the customary katana when it comes to having the hang of things. While making the katana sword, it can be required to heat the steel till it makes red and orange. To make the hammer down, this heat will assist you to further make the steel soft. Ensure that you prevent overcooking the metal bar otherwise it will ruin the entire making process of the katana sword. You will ensure this thing when you find the bar becomes yellow and white if it is getting too hot.
There are several pieces of steel which can be burned away while making the katana sword. For this purpose, it is also required to flatter one side of the katana sword to make the shard tip. This thing will help to create a sharp tip of a katana. If you want the tip to be sharp then you definitely have to heat the side of the sword because of this purpose. Along with this thing, it is also necessary to hammer off a diagonal piece when it gets thoroughly heated in the forge. With this particular thing, you will have the ability to produce a pointy tip of the sword through the diagonal shape. Once, you do the whole thing you then need certainly to lay the bar on its edge. Using this method thing, you will be necessary to point the tip towards the ceiling to understand the proper model of the sword. | weapons_science |

On the morning of August 6, 1945, the United States Army Air Forces dropped the nuclear weapon "Little Boy" on the city of Hiroshima, followed three days later by the detonation of the "Fat Man" bomb over Nagasaki.
The role of the bombings in Japan's surrender in the Second World War, as well as the effects and justification of them, have been subject to much debate. The roots of the development of the atomic bomb lay in fears that Nazi Germany was investigating such weapons of its own.
The effort to develop the first nuclear weapons during World War II was started under President Roosevelt who died in April 1945. The final decision to drop the bombs was taken by President Truman.

Plaintiff had purchased and installed this new barrel in 2017, and he proceeded to use the rifle without incident for the next four years, firing it on at least thirty separate occasions without incident. However, on October 9, 2021, while Plaintiff was attempting to fire a second shot from a shooting bench, the barrel on the rifle was damaged causing the rear forearm screw to be ejected from the rifle and fracture the forearm.
Plaintiff subsequently filed a lawsuit against Thompson/Center alleging that the barrel was defectively designed and/or manufactured and that Thompson/Center otherwise failed to warn. During discovery, Plaintiff identified Ryan Spence as a witness. Spence is a gunsmith who visually examined the rifle for approximately two hours and then sent Plaintiff’s counsel an email stating that the incident was caused by Thompson/Center improperly drilling the hole for the rear forearm screw all the way through the barrel.
Defendant filed a motion to exclude Spence from testifying as his opinions did not pass muster under Rule 702.
Firearms Expert Witness
Ryan Spence is a graduate of the Pennsylvania Gunsmith School who worked his way up to become the head gunsmith of the Remington premier warranty center for the east coast. He has performed warranty service for Weatherby, Henry, Marlin, and other firearm manufacturers. He now owns and operates Spence Gunsmithing.
Discussion by the Court
To begin with, Defendant argued that Spence was not a metallurgist and had no experience designing barrels.
The Court decided that Spence’s report did not provide the key handholds of Rule 702.
Spence did not examine a comparable exemplar barrel
In his first conclusion, Spence wrote that “the cause of this weapons failure was due to the rear forearm screw hole being drilled all the way through the barrel.” Spence did not describe the methods he employed to arrive at this opinion. He had taken notes during his investigation, but he had not preserved them. However, it was clear from his testimony what Spence did not do: he did not examine a comparable exemplar barrel; did not perform any modeling or casting; did not perform any magnetized testing; and did not take any x-ray or other images of the barrel. Spence’s report also contained no measurements or other analysis. It did not explain in any way what his inspection method had entailed.
Spence did not offer any comparison to establish what that industry standard was
In his second conclusion, Spence opined that the screw hole “was a very obvious manufacturing mistake as it was industry standard to drill no more than 2/3 the thickness of the barrel when drilling and tapping barrels.” However, Spence did not offer any comparison to establish what that industry standard was. He did not explain why the claimed manufacturing mistake was obvious, and he did not explain how or why such a mistake would have evaded Defendant’s product testing. Spence never investigated or considered Defendant’s testing during the manufacturing process to determine whether it was flawed. Furthermore, Spence did not investigate and did not know Defendant’s manufacturing process for the subject barrel.
Spence did not explain his methodology for his conclusion that his identified defect was the “only cause of failure ”
In his third conclusion, Spence wrote that Defendants had drilled “at the very rear of the barrel where chamber pressures would be the highest. In our opinion, this was the only cause of failure for this rifle.” However, Spence did not explain his methodology for his conclusion that his identified defect was the “only cause of failure.” In fact, he recognized that there were many other likely causes for barrel failure. He testified that the barrel failure might have been due to a user loosening the forearm screw; an obstruction in the barrel; using an aftermarket screw made of a different material; using over-pressurized ammunition; or making post-production alterations to the barrel that changed its specifications.
The Court granted Defendant’s motion to preclude the testimony of Plaintiff’s expert Ryan Spence.
Spence’ inspection lasted about two hours. He concluded that Defendants were responsible for the barrel’s misfire and Plaintiff’s ensuing injuries. Spence did not examine a comparable exemplar barrel; did not perform any modeling or casting; did not perform any magnetized testing; and did not take any x-ray or other images of the barrel. Spence never investigated or considered Defendant’s testing during the manufacturing process to determine whether it was flawed. He did not explain his methodology for his conclusion that his identified defect was the “only cause of failure.”

These agencies, and national armed forces, in the process of crowd control during public demonstrations of dissent, also try to employ projectiles designed to incapacitate but not kill. Ammunition used for these purposes is designed to have large dimensions so that impact occurs without penetration to deliver enough kinetic energy for "stopping power".
Such ammunition includes:
lead shot enclosed in a fabric bag ("bean bag")
Plastic bullets or buckshot
Rubber-coated metal buckshot
Injury patterns include lacerations, fractures, and penetrations. Shorter firing distances lead to greater injuries. (Wahl, Schreyer and Yersin, 2006) (Masahiko and Mellen, 2009)
Air guns may include "BB" guns that shoot round projectiles, generally of 0.177 caliber, and may include air rifles that can shoot not only BB projectiles, but also 0.177 caliber pellets of various shapes, including round nose, pointed, wadcutter, or flat, as shown:
The most common shape is the "wasp waist" or "diablo" style.
Though small "BB" pellets may produce injuries. The standard steel "BB" is 0.177 caliber (4.5 mm), and standard velocities may range from 200 to 400 feet per second.
In a study by DiMaio et al, with "wasp waist" pellets of 0.177 caliber, at 290 fps, there was penetration of skin (pellet embedded in skin), and at 331 fps there was perforation through the skin. At 365 fps and higher, perforation always occurred (DiMaio et al, 1982).
The greatest risk for tissue injury with such projectiles is the eye. In a study of "BB" pellets weighing 5 grains fired from a distance of 10 feet at pig eyes determined that a minimum velocity of 246 fps was required to cause corneal perforation with penetration to the retina (Powley et al, 2004).
"Airsoft" ammunition is a slightly bigger plastic or metal versions of a "BB" pellet. The average velocity of air guns firing such projectiles is 366 fps. Such projectiles include 6 mm in diameter plastic pellets that are 0.11 or 0.25 gm, 6 mm metal spheres weighing 0.3 gm, and 8 mm plastic spheres weighing 0.34 gm. In one study of potential eye injury, it was shown that when firing fromn a distance of 2 inches at a pig eye, that penetration of the cornea occurred at 403 fps for the 6 mm pellets weighting 0.11 gm, 325 fps for 0.25 gm 6 mm pellets, and 373 fps for the 8 mm plastic pellets; the 6 mm metal pellets penetrated at 331 fps.
Some law enforcement agencies have adopted "bean bag" projectiles to lessen the potential for injury. Such projectiles consist of a fabric or nylon bag filled with lead shot, and are designed to be nonpenetrating. However, serious injury is possible (Grange et al, 2002).
Plastic bullets, replacing rubber bullets (implicated in three deaths) used as "safe" projectiles for riot control, were shown in one study to be associated with 13 deaths (seven children) by serious head injury, usually when fired at distances less than the 25 yard range considered be "safe" (Metress and Metress, 1987)
Frangible bullets, composed of a metal such as copper powder that is compacted, are designed to fragment on impact, lessening penetration and reducing potential injury to those nearby. The wounding properties are variable. (Komenda et al, 2013)
Exit wounds are uncommon, given the low energy levels of these projectiles. When penetration occurs, the projectiles lodge within tissues. Rare reports of pellet emboli have been reported, and surgical procedures for removal are not without risk for morbidity and mortality (Misseldine and August, 2010). | weapons_science |

The footage was captured in the skies over Alaska, at Alaska’s Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson, where expert pilot Maj. Josh “Cabo” Gunderson pulled off seemingly impossible maneuvers.
The aircraft goes straight into a steep climb immediately after takeoff, then performs some maneuvers at low altitude before moving higher. The video also shows you what it looks like inside the cockpit.
The prime contractor of the aircraft, Lockheed Martin, built most of the F-22’s airframe and weapons systems and conducted final assembly, while Boeing provided the wings, aft fuselage, avionics integration, and training systems.
Despite its protracted development and various operational issues, USAF officials consider the F-22 a critical component of the military’s tactical airpower. Its combination of stealth, aerodynamic performance, and avionics systems enable unprecedented air combat capabilities.
US military officials had originally planned to buy a total of 750 ATFs. In 2009, the program was cut to 187 operational production aircraft due to high costs, a lack of clear air-to-air missions due to delays in Russian and Chinese fighter programs, a ban on exports, and development of the more versatile F-35. The last F-22 was delivered in 2012.
The F-22 Raptor is a fifth-generation fighter that is considered the fourth generation in stealth aircraft technology by the USAF. It is the first operational aircraft to combine supercruise, supermaneuverability, stealth, and sensor fusion in a single weapons platform. The F-22 has four empennage surfaces, retractable tricycle landing gear, and clipped delta wings with reverse trailing edge sweep and leading-edge extensions running to the upper outboard corner of the inlets.
The F-22’s high cruise speed and operating altitude over prior fighters improve the effectiveness of its sensors and weapon systems and increase survivability against ground defenses such as surface-to-air missiles. The ability to supercruise, or sustain supersonic flight without using afterburners, allows it to intercept targets which subsonic aircraft would lack the speed to pursue and afterburner-dependent aircraft would lack the fuel to reach. | weapons_science |

University of Reading (Henley Business School, G11)
In 2011, the University of Reading received a remarkable and moving gift from the University of Hiroshima in Japan: a roof tile collected from the riverbed near the hypocentre of the atomic bomb attack of 6 August 1945. The gift was made in recognition of the fact that the University of Reading had sent books in response to an appeal by their Japanese counterparts in 1951, as part of a project to establish an international peace library. The University of Hiroshima also donated the original ten volumes Japanese manga series, now part of the University of Reading Special Collections. The tile and the volumes will be on display on the day of the event.
The atomic weapons that demolished Hiroshima not only had devastating effects on its population at the time of the bombings and throughout the lives of those who survived, but also began an arms race between the US and the Soviet Union that shaped the entire history of the Cold War. Was there a degree of rationality and reason behind the colossal build up? Did nuclear weapons cause the Cold War? Did they contribute to its escalation? Did they help to keep the Cold War cold? Was the nuclear arms race a product of Cold War tension rather than its cause?
At a time of global economic and political uncertainty and the emergent threat of international terrorism and nuclear proliferation, these are important questions that still need further investigation. The purpose of this symposium therefore is to explore new academic research on the history of nuclear weapons during the Cold War.

However each nations are racing to develop a completely new type of weapon.
When Putin confirmed off what he stated was a hypersonic cruise missile, he gave the world a short glimpse right into a secret arms race. It pits the U.S. in opposition to Russia and China in a contest to construct weapons that may fly 10,000 miles per hour.
“It is fairly a bonus if anyone may ever try this,” stated John Wilcox, vp at Northrop Grumman.
The corporate constructed the primary hypersonic plane again in 2004. It solely flew for about 10 seconds. However Northrop Grumman is now conducting exams as a part of the Pentagon’s prime secret efforts to develop hypersonic weapons that may fly longer and farther.
Wilcox took CBS Information right into a take a look at chamber on situation we’d not reveal its location. It’s a big air gun that fires bursts of gasoline at unbelievable speeds and strain to simulate the circumstances of hypersonic flight.
“The gases come down the air gun and hit proper again right here on the plate,” Wilcox defined.
The gases burst by way of the metal plate. That, plus temperatures of two,000 levels are what a hypersonic plane must survive.
“If we now have a take a look at article that we’re making an attempt to emulate within the circumstances of the hypersonic flight, it’s going to be in right here,” Wilcox stated.
Wilcox estimates a working hypersonic weapon continues to be 5 to 10 years away.
The Pentagon has declared hypersonics its primary technical precedence, however the official accountable for this system not too long ago acknowledged that the U.S. is enjoying catch as much as Russia and China.

“The U.S. was notified and, as we’ve highlighted before, this is a routine annual exercise by Russia,” spokesman Air Force Brigadier General Patrick Ryder told a news briefing. “So in this regard, Russia is complying with its arms control obligations and its transparency commitments to make those notifications.”
The Brigadier General also said:
“I will say that again, from a U.S. standpoint, the allegations that Ukraine is building a dirty bomb are false.

Weapons and war are completing the picture of a still warlike epoch, when, at times, even the greatest artists had to use their creativity for war related purposes. Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo are the best known examples.
Many of the medieval weapons were still in service during the Renaissance. Weapons like the Guisarme, the Halberd, the Mace, the Partisan are already known to those studying the medieval weapons.
The Guisarme may be claimed with all confidence to be one of the most ancient of weapons, as its first inception occurred in the Bronze Period, and from that remote age down to the 17th Century it was more or less in evidence. It terminated generally in an extremely strong and sharp point; the two sides were approximately parallel, and both brought to a keen and almost razor-like edge, while a hook was provided a short way down the blade. The blade lent itself to elaborate ornamentations and many examples of the 16th and 17th centuries exhibit splendid specimens of engraving. It was used in England as late as the battle of Flodden (1513).
Brought in the field by the Swiss, the Halberd was maybe the most popular of the Renaissance weapons, as illustrated by the splendid 16th Century equipment of the Vatican Swiss Guard. It was also the weapon offering the most exquisite examples of ornamentation, especially those designed for parade purposes. This weapon essentially consists of an axe-blade balanced by a pick, the head of the shaft being prolonged in the shape of a spike. The spike underwent changes, broadening and flattening at times until it presented a blade-like aspect, which was often curved downwards towards the shaft. It was essentially a weapon for the foot soldier, and although it is occasionally seen with a very long shaft, these are for pageant purposes, the war weapon seldom exceeding five or six feet in length. The halberd became obsolete when the pike came into favor.
The Partisan was introduced into England in the middle of the 14th Century, and from the 15th to the 17th centuries was used extensively on the Continent, but especially in France. It consists of a long double-edged blade, wide at the base, where it is provided with projections of various forms, hooked, crescent, and tapering to a point. It is always symmetrical, both sides balancing in form. The Ranseur and the Spetum are modifications of the partisan.
The Pike was much appreciated among the Renaissance weapons. It was one of the simplest of weapons, being merely a long, narrow, lance-like head of steel strengthened by lengthy strips of metal, which ran for a considerable distance down the pole, rendering it almost immune from sword-cuts. The length of the weapon varied considerably, from over twenty feet to less than ten, but the latter was the usual length. For resisting a cavalry charge the base of the pike was fixed into the ground, an iron shoe or point being provided to protect that part. The long strips of steel down the shaft may be considered one of its special features, as it could not be put out of action by any ordinary cuts of the sword or axe.
The Glaive had a convex , broad cutting blade. Hooks, spurs, and other projections appear upon the base of the blade. This weapon was more in use upon the Continent than in England, chiefly in France and Germany, and did not become obsolete until the beginning of the 17th Century. The term "glaive" may be applied to a simple shaft weapon bearing any resemblance to a knife blade.
The Mace, already used by the Normans and Saxons at Hastings, did not disappear until the 16th Century. It has undergone many changes of form, being at times of cog-wheel shape, oval, globular or dentated, but the general form was that of radiating flanges surrounding a central head. The knob was at times of lead, and some maces are furnished with a spike, as a prolongation of the shaft. In the 16th Century, the mace was the characteristic weapon of the sergeant-at-arms. The royal arms were stamped upon the shaft at the termination of the grip: this end became in consequence the important part of the weapon; the ornaments and guards augmented and developed, while the end furnished with the knob shrank into insignificance. Finally the mace was reversed; the arms now appear upon the upper end of the shaft in all corporation and other maces.
The Lance did not exhibit any remarkable changes for centuries; it was of uniform size and thickness from end to end, with a lozenge or leaf-shaped head, rarely barbed, the lozenge being the commoner form. For tournament purposes the heads were blunted, but as jousting became more popular special points or coronals were introduced, of which examples are shown in most museums. These were not intended to pierce, but only to give a grip upon plate armor. The men-at-arms invariably dismounted and fought upon foot, and in order to adapt the lance to these altered conditions it was cut down to about five feet in length. A small circular plate was fixed upon the lance to protect the hand, and this subsequently developed into the varnplate of varied form and dimensions. At this time also the shaft of the lance became much enlarged for tilting purposes, and was made hollow, with longitudinal grooves upon the exterior; in this form it splintered in the encounter; when the tilting had for its object the unhorsing of combatants the lance was made stronger and heavier. During the reign of Elizabeth the lance ceased to hold the important position it had hitherto maintained among weapons, and became obsolete, but in later times it has been revived for the use of cavalry.
We may say that, among the Renaissance weapons, the sword underwent most of the changes when compared with the medieval period. Towards the end of the 15th Century, and the beginning of the 16th Century, the changes are chiefly in the hilt which presented a wide variety of additional pieces, mainly designed to protect the hand. As the duel became a fashion, those pieces were also designed for the entanglement or breaking of the sword-blade of the opponent.
A finger-guard was often added by prolonging one side of the cross-piece, whereby it ran parallel to the grip, and then either curved outwards or, later in the period, turned inwards to join the pommel. The medieval cross-piece did not die out, but became bent in another form as a capital S; rings appeared on either side of the cross-piece and at right angles to it; back-guards were introduced, and also the basket-hilt. The quillons, by being curved as indicated above, developed the knuckle-guard on one side of the grip which eventually reached the pommel, while the other, circling towards the blade, developed counter-guards for protecting the back of the hand. Thus the rapier-guard was developed, the varieties and modifications of which are almost numberless. Cup-hilts were a common form where long, straight, or curved quillons were used in conjunction with a cup-shaped finger-guard at the base of the blade, which was as a rule highly decorated. The swept hilt had a broad back-guard which narrowed towards the pommel, together with curved quillons. Upon many swords of the 16th Century and later, curved guards may be seen extending round the ricasso; this is the pas d’ane, while rings may also be observed for passing the thumb through. The rapier blade was long, thin, and tapering; it was essentially a thrusting sword, but not exclusively so. These weapons were for parade and the duel, a two-edged rapier of special design being used in war.
The two-hand sword was never in such high favor as during the 16th Century. It was now employed by the high and the low; by the royal combatant in the lists and by the humble mercenary. The Swiss were especially celebrated for their skills in using the weapon, and in Scotland it was held in much esteem. This was a natural result of the conformation of the arm itself for while the arquebus and crossbow, and even the axe and the halberd, might be successfully wielded by any soldier of moderate strength, the spadone could only be employed with effect by men of superior force and the greatest agility. The two-hand sword is very rarely seen after the close of the 16th Century.
Much appreciated among the Renaissance weapons was the dagger. The main-gauche, or left-handed dagger, was of Continental origin, and enjoyed an immense popularity in England during the 16th Century. During a duel, it was held in the left hand to ward off blows and entangle the point of the adversary’s weapon, while the long rapier was being used in the right hand.
The science of artillery and handguns had made considerable progress during the Renaissance. Weapons like the arquebus and the caliver replaced the bow, due to their accuracy and penetrating power, coupled with their rate of fire. However, the change did not come easy, and throughout the 16th Century there was an obstinate struggle between the arrow and the bullet. The advocates of the first had a clear advantage on the side of eloquence and ingenuity; but in the field, the "shot" made a steady advance, and the Bow, that weapon which had decided victories from the beginning of the world, and of late had constantly won them almost single-handed, was driven from the battlefield.
Despite the improvements in handguns technology, in the first half of the 16th Century, their effect remained limited. However, an arquebusier could bring down a men-at-arms from his horse, and leave him to the ground, with his movements hampered by his armor. The arquebus of the 16th Century was of 2 kinds: that discharged without a rest, and the higher caliber one, fired from a rest which the gunner carried with him.
The loading and firing of a matchlock gun was a long and complicated process. To overcome this, a new cavalry maneuver was invented. Although known by its French name of caracole, it was popularized and developed by the German "Reiters", who became the masters of the system. Armed with pistols, the Reiters charged the opposing infantry riding up to the enemy ranks, firing their pistols at almost point-blank range, and then rapidly rejoining their own ranks. At that moment, their second rank repeated the maneuver in quick succession, with devastating effects.
The second half of the 16th Century saw the raising of mounted arquebusiers in addition to the cavalry armed with pistols. They were able to fight also on foot if the situation in the field so required. The arquebusiers or musketeers were now flanking the pikemen, and the ratio was of two to one.
Artillery is one of the Renaissance weapons making huge progress and
it became a real army corps during this period. But at this stage it is
still hard to say it was able to decide a battle.
At the Battle of Novarra, on 15th June 1513, the Swiss pikemen and halberdiers faced the French who were fielding a considerable artillery force.
In the beginning, the French cannons were able to hit hard the Swiss ranks. But because the French remained on the defensive, in the end
it was the initiative of the Swiss which won the day.
Two years later, at Marignano, on 13th September 1515, the French troops under Francisc I. faced again the Swiss Confederation army.
This time, the French took advantage of their excellent artillery, however, in the end the battle was won by repeated charges
of the French cavalry, with Francisc I. riding in the front rank. | weapons_science |

Nuclear winter is a severe and prolonged global climatic cooling effect hypothesized to occur after widespread firestorms following a nuclear war.
The hypothesis is based on the fact that such fires can inject soot into the stratosphere, where it can block some direct sunlight from reaching the surface of the Earth. It is speculated that the resulting cooling would lead to widespread crop. Nuclear weapons are useful mainly for deterrence and self-defense, not for coercion.

Frisch confirmed this experimentally on 13 January For proving that the barium resulting from his bombardment of uranium with neutrons was the product of nuclear fission, Hahn was awarded the Nobel Prize for Chemistry in (the sole recipient) "for his discovery of the fission of heavy nuclei".
fission, discovery and/or nuclear. Development of nuclear weapons was the motivation behind early research into nuclear fission which the Manhattan Project during World War II (September 1, – September 2, ) carried out most of the early scientific work on fission chain reactions, culminating in the three events involving fission bombs that occurred during the war.
The discovery of the fission of nuclei, i.e. the breakup of a heavy nucleus into two (or three) fragments of approximately equal size, could have taken place as early as but due to a number of misconceptions it was not discovered until Decemberwhen it aroused immediate and worldwide attention.
In Decemberover Christmas vacation, physicists Lise Meitner and Otto Frisch made a startling discovery that would immediately revolutionize nuclear physics and lead to the atomic bomb.
Trying to explain a puzzling finding made by nuclear chemist Otto Hahn in Berlin, Meitner and Frisch realized that something previously thought impossible was actually happening: that. Commercial nuclear power plants and most forms of nuclear weaponry depend on nuclear fission for their operation.
The first nuclear fission reaction to be discovered was that of uranium This nucleus, as well as those of uranium and plutonium, undergoes fission when struck by a slow-moving neutron (FIGURE ).*.
Otto Hahn (8 March – 28 July ) was a German chemist and pioneer in the fields of radioactivity andOtto Hahn and Lise Meitner discovered nuclear fission (but only he received the Nobel Prize for the discovery).
He is referred to as the father of nuclear chemistry. He was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in for the discovery and the Alma mater: University of Marburg. The Discovery of Nuclear Fission- NHD BrockClark NHD Nuclear Fission reaction explained - Physics Elearninviews.

Shortly thereafter Enrico Fermi and his associates in Italy undertook an extensive investigation of the nuclear reactions produced by the bombardment of various elements with this uncharged particle.
In particular, these workers. In the mid to late ’s Otto Hahn and Lise Meitner were bombarding uranium with the newly discovered neutrons in order to see what would happen.

one nucleus splits into two parts, neither daughter having a mass close to the parent. two nuclei combine to form a single, more massive nucleus. At the time, Fermi and everyone else thought that was the first self-sustaining nuclear chain reaction, but they were wrong; Mother Nature had beat them to the punch.
Interestingly, just months after the discovery of nuclear fission, Siegfried Flügge speculated on the possibility of nuclear explosions in uranium deposits. In January the news of the discovery of nuclear fission burst in America, sending physicists into their laboratories to try to confirm the startling new discovery.Nuclear fission of U If U is bombarded with a neutron (light blue small circe), the resulting U produced is unstable and undergoes resulting elements (shown here as Kr and Ba) do not contain as many nucleons as U, with the remaining three neutrons being released as high-energy particles, able to bombard another U atom and .I n the end of JanuaryNiels B ohr announced the discovery of nuclear fission at the Fifth Conference on Theoretical Physics in Washington, D.C.

It's my belief that warfare, aka organized violence, is undergoing punctuated change due to robotics/drones and other technologies of superempowerment. That's not a good thing since I believe that warfare defines the path of development for everything else (economics, politics, culture). It makes certain paths forward possible, and closes others. A rapid change in warfare means a rapid change in everything else.
Here's a tiny example of that change in action.
Robotic control systems are going to show up everywhere with increasing frequency. Particularly as a replacement for suicide bombers. Here's why. Suicide bombers are functionally a poor man's weapon system. Using a cold calculus:
- the suicide bomber's brain is an inexpensive substitute for
- the complex/expensive terminal guidance system of a missile.
The suicide bomber's function boils down to bringing the bomb to the target, the closer the better. In most cases, the bomber can also decide when to detonate it, which makes their brain/eye/finger system a replacement for a target radar/proximity fuse system.
However, this isn't a simple substitution. Suicide bombers are difficult to recruit and train. People simply aren't naturally inclined to kill themselves. They need to be carefully selected, motivated, and trained to do it. So, that's the bottleneck (even paying the relatives of disabled/elderly "insurance" payments hasn't sped up the process much) to expansion of suicide terrorism.
So, what happens when the costs of a terminal guidance systems become inexpensive and easy to acquire? They will replace suicide bombers in all but the most unusual of environments (airplane cabins -- although drone bombs + airplanes in takeoff phase is a pretty scary alternative).
This is going on right now. Robotic control systems are now inexpensive, accurate, and autonomous as we have seen with drones. This means that the costs of a robotic control system are already well within the budget of a small group. Further, their functionality makes them perfect for terrorist activities (the targeting of populations and symbols).
Example? Here's a video that turns a car into a remote control drone that can be used to deliver big bombs to checkpoints. It even features an interview with the guerrilla entrepreneur that put it together. It has the feel of an anti silicon valley (don't confuse it with silicone valley, which is in southern CA, near LA) Scoble interview, with an entrepreneur that just landed $5 m in funding. | weapons_science |

John Ericsson's "Cheesebox on a Raft"
# CO 96-008
1/96th scale model kit of the USS Monitor turreted Union ironclad. Model measures about 22" long. Includes resin, cast metal, and custom photo-etched detail parts, fully detailed interior for the gun turret suitable for cutaway display, complete instructions,.
USS Monitor was the first ironclad warship commissioned by the US Navy. She is most famous for her participation in the first-ever naval battle between two ironclad warships, the Battle of Hampton Roads on March 9, 1862 during the Civil War, in which Monitor fought the ironclad CSS Virginia of the Confederate States Navy.
Designed by the Swedish engineer John Ericsson, Monitor was described as a "cheesebox on a raft," consisting of a heavy round revolving iron gun turret on the deck, housing two large (11 inch) Dahlgren guns, paired side by side. The original design of the ship used a system of heavy metal shutters to protect the gun ports while reloading. However, the operation of the shutters proved to be so cumbersome that the crews operating the guns adopted the procedure of simply rotating the turret away from potential hostile fire to reload the guns. Further, the inertia of the rotating turret proved to be so great, that a system for stopping the turret to fire the guns was only implemented on later models of ships in the Monitor class. The crew of Monitor solved the turret inertia problem by firing the guns on the fly while the turret rotated past the target. While this procedure resulted in a substantial loss of accuracy, given the close range at which Monitor operated, the loss of accuracy was not critical.
The armored deck was barely above the waterline. Aside from a small boxy pilothouse, a detachable smokestack and a few fittings, the bulk of the ship was below the waterline to prevent damage from cannon fire. The turret comprised 8 bolted together layers of 1" plate with an additional ninth plate inside to act as a sound shield. A steam donkey engine turned the turret. The heavily armored deck extended beyond the waterproof hull which was only 5/8" thick. Thus the vulnerable parts of the ship were completely protected. Monitor's hull was built at the Continental Iron Works in the Greenpoint section of Brooklyn, New York, and the ship was launched there on January 30th, 1862.
Modeling experience is HIGHLY recommended!

It has been over three years since President Obama admitted that multiple Americans have been killed in drone strikes overseas, and also since the FBI admitted to using surveillance drones to monitor US citizens. This year, the Pentagon has even admitted to using surveillance drones domestically, yet much about these programs and even their existence in many cases remains technically classified.
Smaller, non-lethal drones have caused a wide range of problems — from interfering in firefighting efforts to being used to smuggle contraband into prison yards — and for a while it was unclear whether you could legally shoot them down over your property. Earlier this year, however, the Federal Aviation Administration said that shooting down drones is just like shooting any other aircraft out of the sky — that is to say, it’s a federal crime.
Yet as America’s adversaries — including even ragtag non-state terrorist groups such as ISIS — begin building their own drones, we can expect to begin hearing more about counter-drone technology aimed at disabling, dispersing, or otherwise fighting back against the flying robots.
“An entire anti-drone industry is emerging that will arm anti-drone people with anti-drone technology,” ComputerWorld columnist Mike Elgan writes in a recent article. “These new tools will enable drone detection, tracking, identification, disabling, and even hacking and hijacking the drones as they fly.”
Elgan notes that while these technologies may be just now emerging into the mainstream, they’ve been quietly in development for significantly longer. “This burgeoning industry didn’t just fall from the sky,” he writes. “Like so many of our favorite tech gadgets, anti-drone devices will be consumerized versions of professional military and industrial gear.”
Elgan continues, giving some background on the development of anti-drone tech:
The anti-drone idea started years ago with the military. The big military contractors, like Boeing, Lockheed Martin, Raytheon, Thales Group, Israel Aerospace Industries and Russia’s United Instrument Manufacturing Corporation (which focuses on countering U.S.-made military drones) were happy to develop expensive, powerful anti-drone technologies.
The U.S. Army is testing Raytheon’s Phaser, a massive electromagnetic pulse (EMP) device that can shut down an entire drone swarm with a single blast. It’s essentially a microwave radiation transmitter mounted on a 20-foot shipping container. I want one, but it’s probably out of my league.
Trouble is, big-iron solutions are right for the airplane-sized drones used by major military powers. But insurgents, terrorists and criminals are increasingly flying smaller, consumer-sized drones for delivering bombs. And these smaller drones need a smaller solution.
Elgan notes several anti-drone systems presently under development, including military technologies such as “a truck-mounted laser beam” to shoot down drones and a program that “hacks drones by injecting packets of code into the radio protocol used for communication between the drone and its handheld controller,” enabling the user to take control of a target drone. He also discusses “drone zappers” used by Denver International Airport and a “space gun” signal jammer for drones that is currently illegal to use in the U.S.
Indeed, the legality of many of these anti-drone technologies is not entirely clear. Nor is it apparent whether any of these specific systems are behind the mysterious “geofences” that, for example, “some drone enthusiasts believe Silicon Valley companies may be quietly working to install,” according to an article in the San Jose Mercury News, which have redirected drones, causing them to crash into San Francisco Bay. That article also notes that “much of the anti-drone technology is being developed in secrecy for the government, so it’s hard to know exactly what tools companies might be using to stop drones.”
If shooting down a drone is the legal equivalent of shooting down an airplane, though, the capabilities of some of these tools — such as those that let a hacker do things like remotely take control of a drone — would logically equate to enabling the somewhat serious crime and national security problem of airplane hijacking. Nevertheless, the hackability of drones — including of a model that costs more than $30,000 and is used by U.S. police departments, has been demonstrated.
Clearly, drone manufacturers have a lot of work to do in securing their products — a particularly important concern given that major uses of drones are for surveillance and waging warfare, activities that tend to inspire determined resistance. Yet this security gap is not unique to the drone industry. Rather it can easily be viewed as a facet of the broader problem of inadequate security considerations taken into account in the design of “Internet of Things” devices. Once hyped as the next big thing in tech, the ongoing clamor over the lack of security of the so-called IoT seems to grow louder by the day.
Indeed, as anti-drone technologies develop, even if new models of drones are made more secure, countless copies of earlier versions have already been released, and will likely remain hackable as ever. As with so many areas of espionage and military technology, the U.S. has certainly led the way in the drone arms race, and appears to be leading the anti-drone race as well.
But perhaps if we focused less on ways of weaponizing our scientific knowledge, and more on using it for productive rather than destructive purposes, we could avoid not only some of the political fallout of raining death from the sky on civilians, but the security headaches of having hijackable drones swarming the skies as well. If we gave more thought to whether we should make certain weapons and technologies to begin with, rather than just making them as soon as we feel that we possibly can, perhaps we’d find ourselves avoiding some of the pitfalls associated with developing such newfangled weapons of war.

Northrop Grumman officials say the Venom’s targeting capability allowed other systems in the network to deliver precision-guided munitions to counter the UAS. The system’s vehicle-agnostic design allows it to be used on a variety of land vehicles.
“By continuing to invest in Venom, we have been able to repurpose our mature LLDR technology for additional missions,” said Kay Burch, vice president, communications, intelligence and networking solutions for Northrop Grumman in a statement. “Adding counter-UAS and on-the-move targeting will give our warfighters greater flexibility in mission planning and execution.”
For added protection, Venom comes equipped with a mounted sensor controlled under armor. The LLDR is fitted with forward air controllers and naval gun spot teams, which can recognize targets in all weather conditions.
Northrop Grumman has delivered over 2,700 LLDR systems. | weapons_science |

Northrop P-61 Black Widow
The Northrop P-61 Black Widow, named for the American Spider was a warplane designed as a night fighter, and was the first aircraft designed to use radar. The P-61 had a crew of three: Pilot, Gunner, and Radar Operator. It was armed with four 20mm (.79in) Hispano M2 forward-firing cannons mounted in the lower fuselage, and four .50 in (12.7mm) M2 Browning Machine guns mounted in a remote controlled dorsal gun turret. The first test flight was made on 26 May 1942, the last aircraft was retired from government service in 1954. There were 706 P-61 Black Widow Night fighters produced all together.
The Hawker Typhoon is a single seat fighter-bomber, produced by Hawker Aircraft, 3,317 units were produced all together. It was introduced on 11 September 1941 and retired October 1945. It was intended to be a medium-high altitude interceptor. The Typhoon was designed to mount twelve .303 in (7.7mm) Browning machine guns. In 1941 the Typhoon was the only RAF fighter capable of catching it at low altitudes, it then became a low altitude interceptor. She became one of the second world wars most successful ground-attack Aircraft. Only one complete Hawker Typhoon still survives, and it is on display at RAF Museum in Hendon, North London.
The P-40 War-hawk all metal fighter and ground attack aircraft first flew in 1938. It was used by most allied powers during world war 2. 13,738 P-40s had been built before ceasing in November 1944. The British and the Soviet air forces used the name “Tomahawk”. The unit was the first allied military aviation unit to feature the “Shark mouth” logo. The P-40 performed surprisingly well as an air superiority fighter, at times suffering severe losses but also taking a toll on enemy aircraft. In 2008 29 P-40s were air worthy.
The Republic P-47 Thunderbolt was a world war 2 era fighter aircraft produced by the united states between 1941-1945. It had four .50 caliber machine guns on each wing with a total of eight all together, and could carry five inch rockets or a bomb load of 2,500 pounds. When fully loaded the P-47 weighed up to 8 tons making it one of the heaviest fighters of the war. The P47 was one of the main (USAAF) fighters of world war 2. The Armored cockpit was said to be roomy inside and comfortable for the pilot, and offered good visibility. 15,686 P-47s were produced. The current batches of P-47s to return to the restored are those from long forgotten wartime crash sites.
Boeing B-17 WW2
The Boeing B-17 was introduced in 1938, It is a four engine heavy bomber developed for the United States Army Air Corps. The B-17 was primarily employed by the (USAAF), In the daylight precision strategic bombing campaign of world war 2 against industrial and military targets. By June 1941 the USAAF promoted the aircraft as a strategic weapon. It carried a very good bomb load and was able to return home despite extensive battle damage, in addition to its role to a bomber, the B-17 was also employed as a transport, anti-submarine warfare platform, drone controller and search and rescue Aircraft. There is a total of 12,731 B-17s that have been produced. It has also been told that the crew members dealt with very cold flights in the unpressurized cabins, Temperature gauges in the cockpit sometimes reading -40 degrees Fahrenheit, it was said that they kept warm in fleece lined uniforms. Less than 15 B-17s fly today.
The Super-Marine Spitfire is a British single seat fighter Aircraft, and was used by the Royal Air force and many other Allied countries before. There are many different variants using several wing configurations, it was the only British fighter to be in continuous production throughout the war, and continues to be popular. You will also find that the spitfire was produced with its distinctive elliptical wing, and has the thinnest possible cross-section, which enables the spitfire to have a higher top speed then several contemporary fighters. 20,351 spitfires were produced all together, and approximately 55 still being in air worthy condition worldwide.
The North American Aviation P-51 Mustang is an American long-range, single seat fighter and fighter-bomber used during world war 2. It was designed in 1940 by North American Aviation (NAA). The P-51D was powered by the Packard V-1650-7, A license built version of the Rolls Royce Merlin 66 two-stage two-speed supercharged engine, and was armed with six .50 Caliber (12.7mm) MZ/AN Browning Machine guns. During world war 2, Mustangs pilots claimed 4,950 enemy aircraft shot down. The mustang remained in service with some air forces until the early 1980s. After world war 2 and the Korean war, many Mustangs were converted into civilian use, especially air racing and preserved and flown as historic warbird aircraft at airshows. | weapons_science |

By adhering to safety protocols learned during training, gun owners contribute to a safer environment for everyone.
Confidence and Competence
Proper firearms training instills a sense of confidence and competence in gun owners. Knowing how to handle firearms safely and accurately translates to more effective firearm use, whether for target shooting or self-defense.
Responsible Gun Ownership
Maryland firearms training from organizations like PTPGUN fosters responsible gun ownership by promoting a deep understanding of the ethical, legal, and moral implications of firearm use. Gun owners are encouraged to be informed, accountable, and conscious of the potential consequences of their actions.
A community is only as safe as its responsible gun owners. By undergoing thorough firearms training, individuals contribute to a collective commitment to public safety. This shared responsibility helps create a safer environment for everyone.
Maryland firearms training serves as a bridge between the right to bear arms and the responsibility that comes with it. Organizations like PTPGun recognize the critical role they play in empowering individuals with the knowledge and skills needed to handle firearms responsibly. Beyond marksmanship, Maryland’s rigorous firearms training delves into safety protocols, legal literacy, and conflict resolution. It instills a sense of responsibility, ethical decision-making, and a commitment to community safety.
As we navigate an evolving society, the importance of responsible firearm ownership cannot be overstated.

https://www.rostrumlegal.com/rhetoric-concept-of-non-lethal-weapons-untouched-by-international-law/ | 2023-12-02T05:07:53 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-50/segments/1700679100327.70/warc/CC-MAIN-20231202042052-20231202072052-00313.warc.gz | 0.926876 | 5,435 | CC-MAIN-2023-50 | webtext-fineweb__CC-MAIN-2023-50__0__173832091 | en | Establishing national mechanisms to review the legality of new weapons is especially relevant and urgent in view of emerging new weapons technologies. This article asserts the need for a international mechanism to review newly invented weapons that are wrongly termed as non- lethal.
Henry Dunant in his famous book ‘A Memory of Solferino’ wrote “Ensuring the legality of new weapons is crucial if the development, proliferation and use of cruel and indiscriminate weapons are to be prevented and if humanity is to be protected from new and frightful weapons of destruction.’’
Non-lethal weapons are characterized by some scholars as “weapons of mass protection” that constitute a “new arsenal for a new era of warfare.” The most frequently mentioned reason behind the development of the “non-lethal” weapons concept is the changing nature of military operations in the post-Cold War world in what are called “military operations other than war.” In addition, ethnic hatred and ineffective or non-existent governments have fueled the ferocious fires of civil war in many parts of the developing world, deepening the crisis for ethical and legal restraints on war. NLWs are not required to have a zero probability of producing fatalities or permanent injuries. Moreover, the term “non-lethal” suggests that the weapons in question are anti-personnel weapons only. The area of “non-lethal” weapons covers, however, more than anti-personnel weapons. It includes weapons designed for use against “anti-materiel” weapons. Medically, the intended and unintended health consequences of “non-lethal” weapons are not yet well understood. NLWs cause debilitating or permanent effects such as blindness or paralysis, long-term lethal consequences, or other unnecessary suffering. So, the labels “lethal” and “nonlethal” do not accurately reflect how weapons ought to be examined from an ethical perspective.
For a state that is party to Additional Protocol I of 1977, determining the legality of new weapons is a treaty obligation pursuant to Article 36 of the Protocol. Indeed, it is in each state’s interest to assess the lawfulness of its new weapons in order to ensure that it is able to comply with its international legal obligations during armed conflicts and other situations of violence. The ICRC is aware of only a handful of states that have such procedures in place, one of which is not party to Additional Protocol I.
In some nations there are no consistent and coherent standards applicable to all policing forces across the nations. The legal framework for the testing and approval for use of new forms of less than lethal weapons by police agencies is unclear. The difference in the interpretation of conventions also imposes ambiguities in the application of these weapons. The principles of distinction and proportionality, the principle of unnecessary suffering, rules governing hors de combat, and the so-called Martens clause are constantly violated. International humanitarian concerns about how NLWs might encourage military forces to violate the IHL principle of ‘hors de combat’ are also discussed in detail.
Ethics and international law have since the late nineteenth century been losing a running battle with technological developments that have vastly increased the killing power of military forces. In addition, ethnic hatred and ineffective or non-existent governments have fueled the ferocious fires of civil war in many parts of the developing world, deepening the crisis for ethical and legal restraints on war. Military forces from various nations ordered into war-torn societies to keep the peace or distribute humanitarian aid often find themselves confronted with non-military functions, such as crowd control, that seem difficult to fulfill with traditional military weapons.
Any use of a lethal or non-lethal weapon in a combat situation is subject to the basic principles and provisions of international law. These include the principles of distinction and proportionality, the principle of unnecessary suffering, rules governing hors de combat, and the so-called Martens clause. Embedded in these principles and provisions is the idea of protection for civilians and protection for combatants.
Parties to an armed conflict are limited in their choice of weapons, means and methods of warfare by the rules of international humanitarian law (IHL) governing the conduct of hostilities. Relevant rules include the prohibition on using means and methods of warfare of a nature to cause superfluous injury or unnecessary suffering and the prohibition on using means of warfare that are incapable of distinguishing between civilians or civilian objects and military targets,[i] which are the ‘‘cardinal rules’’ of IHL applying to weapons.[ii] In addition, particular treaties and customary rules impose specific prohibitions or limitations on the use of certain weapons, for example anti-personnel mines and blinding laser weapons.
For a state that is party to Additional Protocol I of 1977, determining the legality of new weapons is a treaty obligation pursuant to Article 36 of the Protocol, which requires each state to determine whether the employment of ‘‘a weapon, means or method of warfare’’ that it studies, develops, acquires or adopts would, ‘‘in some or all circumstances’’, be prohibited by international law applicable to the state. But it also makes good policy sense for all states, regardless of whether or not they are party to the Protocol, to carry out legal reviews of new weapons. Indeed, it is in each state’s interest to assess the lawfulness of its new weapons in order to ensure that it is able to comply with its international legal obligations during armed conflicts and situations of violence.
Weapon Review Mechanism
The 27th International Conference of the Red Cross and Red Crescent in 1999 and the 28th Conference in 2003 called on states to establish mechanisms and procedures to determine the conformity of weapons with international law. In particular, the 28th Conference declared that ‘‘in light of the rapid development of weapons technology and in order to protect civilians from the indiscriminate effects of weapons and combatants from unnecessary suffering and prohibited weapons, all new weapons, means and methods of warfare should be subject to rigorous and multidisciplinary review.’’[iii]
The obligation to review the legality of new weapons implies at least two things. First, a state should have in place some form of permanent procedure to that effect, in other words a standing mechanism that can be automatically activated at any time that a state is developing or acquiring a new weapon. Second, for the authority responsible for developing or acquiring new weapons such a procedure should be made mandatory, by law or by administrative directive. A proposed means of warfare cannot be examined in isolation from the way in which it is to be used – that is, without also taking into account the method of warfare associated with it. This raises three questions. The first is whether the reviewing authority should consider only the proposed or intended use of the weapon, or whether it should also consider other foreseeable uses and effects – the weapon’s effects resulting from a combination of its design and the manner in which it is used. Article 36 of Additional Protocol I appears to support the broader approach, since it requires a state to determine whether the use of a new weapon would be prohibited ‘‘in some or all circumstances’’.
- An association of lawyers in Indian administered Kashmir will ‘facilitate’ the process of filing review petition in a court against its judgement which had legalized the use of pepper gas and pellet bombs against protestors in the disputed state.[iv]
- Amnesty International continues to be concerned by the use of less-than-lethal weapons, particularly Conducted Energy Devices (CEDs) such as TASERS. While some police forces have adopted stricter standards that limit the use of such devices to situations where there is a clear and serious imminent threat to life, most do not. Amnesty International has frequently expressed concern that the use of these weapons may, in some circumstances, be tantamount to torture or ill-treatment.This Committee has also expressed concern that the use of such weapons may constitute a form of torture.[v] There are no consistent and coherent standards applicable to all policing forces across the country, as some are subject to federal government jurisdiction and others to provincial and territorial governments. Guidelines developed by the federal government in October 2010 are not binding and do not adopt a threshold of harm standard which would justify the use of a TASER. Amnesty International has suggested that the Federal Guidelines should be amended to require that CED’s will only be used in situations involving an “imminent threat of death or serious (potentially life threatening) injury which cannot be contained by less extreme options.” The legal framework for the testing and approval for use of new forms of less than lethal by police agencies in Canada, such as sonic devices, is unclear. Some of these weapons pose a potential risk of resulting in torture or ill-treatment when used. Just as their lethal counterparts sometimes fail to kill, non-lethal weapons can sometimes be deadly. The description, therefore, applies to the intent rather than the effect.[vi]
- The ICRC reported that the destruction and disruption of electricity caused Iraqi civilians great hardships in forms of disease and other adverse health consequences.[vii] Calling a weapon “non-lethal” does not remove its potential consequences from scrutiny under IHL.
- The Chechen assault on the Nord-Ost Theatre in Moscow, and the crisis involving approximately 830 hostages, ended when Russian security forces pumped an incapacitating chemical, believed to be a derivative of the opiate fentanyl, into the theatre as a prelude to storming the building. Russian forces killed all the terrorists and rescued hundreds of hostages. The fentanyl, however, killed approximately 130 hostages — a fatality rate of 16%, more than twice the fatality rate of “lethal” chemical weapons used on World War I battlefields.[viii]The use of an incapacitating chemical to end the Moscow hostage crisis hit the debate about NLWs and international law like a thunderbolt.
The advantages outlined above potentially offer significant enhancements to our ability to bring about desired political outcomes via military means. However, employment of these types of weapons does present numerous challenges and concerns as described below.
- Non-lethal weapons may produce unrealistic expectations
The first concern is that the weapons might present unrealistic expectations about the prospects for bloodless war. The problem arises from the term “non-lethal” itself, leading some in the defense community to advocate adoption of substitute terms such as “less-lethal” or “sub-lethal effects weapons.”
Non-lethal weapons shall not be required to have a zero probability of producing fatalities or permanent injuries. However, while complete avoidance of these effects is not guaranteed or expected, when properly employed, non-lethal weapons should significantly reduce them as compared with physically destroying the same target.[ix]
- Non-lethal weapons offer the potential for the enemy to fight again.
A second concern regarding non-lethal weapons is the potential for opposing forces to return to the battlefield to fight again. Mercy on the battlefield sometimes backfires. For example, some of the prisoners paroled by General Grant at Vicksburg during the U.S. Civil War fought him again in later battles.[x]Clausewitz warned that, in general, the enemy’s “fighting forces must be destroyed: that is, they must be put in such a condition that they can no longer carry on the fight.”[xi] This is an issue that must be considered if increasing reliance on non-lethal weapons becomes a reality.
- The availability of non-lethal technology may lure adventurism.
A possible criticism of reliance on non-lethal weapons is that they may make us more prone to commit to military action that may have negative economic or diplomatic consequences or may escalate to become an unintended major conflict. The argument goes that since bloodshed and destruction can be greatly reduced with these weapons, we may be tempted to intervene at an earlier point. Moreover, lack of training can increase the level of lethality to even causing death.
- More than Anti Personnel.
The area of “non-lethal” weapons covers, however, more than anti-personnel weapons. It includes weapons designed for use against vehicles, equipment, materiel, and computer systems (collectively “anti-materiel” weapons).” Describing these anti-materiel weapons as “non-lethal” does not accurately reflect their purpose or nature. In addition, use of some of these anti-materiel “non-lethal” weapons can be lethal as vehicle, equipment, or materiel failure places the human operators in mortal danger.
- Combination of lethal and non lethal weapons.
As noted before, the term “nonlethal” is not an accurate description of these weapons because they can be lethal and they include anti-materiel weapons. Further, military commanders looking at the battlefields of the future may want to combine “nonlethal” and “lethal” weapons to achieve more effective destruction of the enemy. The existence of true “non-lethal” weapons would not alter the way military forces approach their objectives. It is unlikely that military commanders would equip their forces only with “non-lethal” weapons. Use of truly “non-lethal” weapons may actually increase the effectiveness and lethality of traditional weapons during armed conflict.
Weapons and International Treaties
The conventional, biological, and chemical arms control regimes severely limit the potential use of “non-lethal” weapons. This limitation further reinforces the problems noted with the concept of “non-lethal” weapons earlier in the Article. Calling weapons “non-lethal” does not render them susceptible to a lower standard of international legal scrutiny in connection with arms control regimes. However, some important potential “non-lethal” weapons technologies, such as acoustic and electromagnetic weapons, are not affected by the existing arms control disciplines because they do not fall into any of the current treaties on conventional, biological, and chemical weapons.
While relevant principles can be extracted from the conventional weapons regime that can be applied to acoustic and electromagnetic weapons, such application is not required under any existing treaty. At present, international legal analysis of the use of these weapons will primarily fall under principles of customary international law, such as the duty not to cause superfluous injury or unnecessary suffering.[xii]
Developments in weapons technology, especially aircraft, made civilian populations increasingly vulnerable to military attack. Civilians also suffered terribly when attacked by armies and governments that had no intention of honoring the laws of war. But civilians also face threats from forces committed to IHL because civilian fatalities are caused by smart weapons. In addition, military forces often attack or destroy facilities, such as power plants, that are important to the health and well-being of civilian populations. ‘[xiii]
In some situations, “non-lethal” weapons pose familiar problems. During the Persian Gulf War, allied forces used “non-lethal” anti-materiel weapons to disrupt the Iraqi electricity infrastructure.[xiv]
The ICRC reported that the destruction and disruption of electricity caused Iraqi civilians great hardships in forms of disease and other adverse health consequences.[xv] Calling a weapon “non-lethal” does not remove its potential consequences from scrutiny under IHL.
Equally important is the possibility that the development of “nonlethal” weapons will encourage military forces to attack civilians and civilian targets more rather than less. Military forces might perceive that attacking civilians and civilian targets with “non-lethal” weapons is acceptable because the intent is to incapacitate or demoralize rather than kill. In some contexts, incapacitating or demoralizing civilians might make the use of “lethal” weapons against opposing military forces easier.
Behind the IHL prohibition is the principle that military forces must discriminate between military and civilian targets.'[xvi] Important to the IHL analysis will be whether “non-lethal” weapons can only be, or are being, used indiscriminately. A “non-lethal” weapon that cannot be used in a discriminate way would cause IHL concerns. Thus, if an acoustic weapon intended to incapacitate military forces cannot be used without also incapacitating civilians, such a “non-lethal” weapon cannot satisfy IHL. But one can easily see that people wanting to use the “non-lethal” weapon would argue that its indiscriminate use does not violate IHL because the intent is not to kill and the civilians are only temporarily incapacitated. In other words, the indiscriminate use of a “non-lethal” weapon causes acceptable collateral damage to civilians.
IHL prohibits military forces from attacking combatants who are incapacitated or disarmed and no longer present a military threat (hors de combat).’[xvii]This aspect of IHL is clearly relevant to the use of “non-lethal” weapons on the battlefield,’2″ and “non-lethal” weapons raise a number of questions in this regard.
First, it is not clear how a soldier will be able to determine in the heat of the battle whether an enemy combatant is hors de combat as a result of the use of a “non-lethal” weapon. How much incapacitation is necessary to render a combatant hors de combat? Just as a soldier wounded by a “lethal” weapon may still pose a military threat to his enemy, an incapacitated soldier may also constitute a threat. Perhaps this observation suggests that the identification of a combatant hors de combat is difficult regardless whether “lethal” or “non-lethal” weapons are used, and that “non-lethal” weapons do not complicate this already difficult task. Much would depend, of course, on the particular physical effects of a “non-lethal” weapon, so it is difficult to speculate much. But the easier it is to recognize incapacitation the stronger will be the physical effect of the “non-lethal” weapon, perhaps raising other questions under.
IHL protections for combatants hors de combat have not been widely respected in twentieth century wars. Military forces in all likelihood will see incapacitation through “non-lethal” weapons as a means to maximize the impact of “lethal” force. The tactic might be to hit enemy troops first with “non-lethals” and to follow up this attack with “lethal” force. This combination tactic might maximize battle impact on the enemy while reducing casualties for the attacking side.
Principle of superfluous injury and unnecessary suffering
This principle has been behind a number of prohibitions of specific weapons systems, such as exploding bullets, blinding laser weapons, and anti-personnel land mines. At first glance, it would seem that “non-lethal” weapons cause no concerns for this IHL principle because the intended physical effects are assumed to be temporary. It remains important for the integrity of IHL to apply the superfluous injury or unnecessary suffering principle to “non-lethal” weapons because the assumption of temporary incapacitation may not be warranted. One concern for this principle of IHL is that the health effects of many potential “non-lethal” weapons are, as mentioned earlier, not known. The superfluous injury/unnecessary suffering principle should guide development of “non-lethal” weapons to ensure that the physical effects of the weapons are not severe or permanent. The ICRC advocates using this objective approach to analyze all new
weapons, including “non-lethal” weapons.
The categorization of weapons as lethal and non lethal is not correct as it leaves some scope for wrongful use of weapons to an extent by which fatality can be caused and so the categorization of weapons shall be done as causing superfluous injury, potentially causing superfluous injury and not causing superfluous injury.
The feel-good term “non-lethal” masks the extent to which these weapons create significant concerns for arms control, international law on the use of force, international humanitarian law, and other areas of international law. The need to review and scrutinize “non-lethal” weapons under international law is manifest, and it can never be taken for granted that the development or uses of “non-lethal” weapons are legitimate under international law.
Establishing national mechanisms to review the legality of new weapons is especially relevant and urgent in view of emerging new weapons technologies such as directed energy, incapacitants, behavior change agents, acoustics and nanotechnology, to name but a few.[xviii] Weapons review mechanisms would also be relevant in reassessing existing weapons stocked in a state’s arsenal in the light of new or emerging norms of international law, such as when a state becomes party to a treaty prohibiting or limiting the use of a certain weapon.
Moreover these national mechanisms shall be established under the canopy of an international body to which reports on approved weapons would be sent by the national mechanisms for further review.
“Non-lethal” weapons emerge into a situation already marked by great tension between international law and the realities of international politics. Nowhere is this tension more serious than in times of armed conflict. This is why there should and will be tension between international law and the development and use of “non-lethal” weapons. Without this tension, benign motivations behind “non-lethal” weapons development will quickly be drowned or corrupted into malevolent designs that adversely affect the lives and hopes of peoples.

Calling Kirk an edged weapons expert does him both justice and a disservice. It expresses his mastery but also narrows it. In truth, Kirk knows a bit of everything about anything having to do with melee warfare. He can also thumb through the history of warfare and tactics like a human index. And, for the purposes of this blog, I'm happy to say that he thinks like a writer and is a great storyteller. I've told him that he should write. The ability wafts off of him like a stink.

It had also become a very important coaling station for the Royal Navy and merchant ships. Several forts defending the harbour were built in the early years of the colony, and many reports recommending additional defences for this importan colony began to be authored. Records of the China Station dated 1859 contained a recommendation for a battery at ‘Point Rimau’, and others at Silingsing and Serapong. These were not acted on, and it was to be over twenty years and more reports before any action was takem. The British Government, then, being aware of the important commercial and strategic values of Singapore, decided to modernise the existing defences of the island.
Since the last update of the defences, more powerful and longer ranging weapons had been developed, not only by Great Britain, but by countries which were considered to be potential enemies. Following surveys, it was concluded that it would be wiser to construct several new coastal artillery forts than to modernise the older existing ones. Many of these older forts were located in a poor fire position, and were not realistically capable of being enlarged. Indeed, Fort Canning was said to be more suited to controlling the civil populace than providing defence for the harbour. New coastal artillery forts could be sited to take advantage of more powerful weapons with a greater range than the old forts’ armaments. The surveys located several sites which were deemed suitable for the proposed new forts; on Singapore Island itself, on Pulau Brani (Brave Island), and on Blakang Mati.
New, well armed forts constructed in these locations would be ideally situated to protect the western and eastern approaches to the strategically important Keppel Harbour. Whilst the forts were constructed, the armament eventually being emplaced at Siloso and Serapong was to be different to that suggested by the Governor. This aerial view of Blakang Mati and Pulau Brani shows the location of all the coastal artillery forts which were built on these islands. Mount Imbiah and Fort Teregah were never updated during their service lives. Fort Teregah was abandoned during the early 20th Century and Mount Imbiah in the late 1930s. The remainder, with the exception of Siloso were not re-used after the Second World War. Of all the forts built to defend Singapore, only Fort Siloso has been preserved. Remains of some other forts can still be found, but some are not accessible to the public.
Sailing aboard HMS Meander, Admiral Sir Henry Keppel is said to have ‘discovered’ the western entrance to the sheltered harbour between Blakang Mati and Singapore Island in 1848. However, it is evident that this entrance was known of by the seamen of the east for a significant period of time before Admiral Keppel came on the scene. Indeed, it would have been strange if regular users of the harbour did not know of this approach. Lt. H.E. McCallum, Royal Engineers and a workforce comprising of local people began preparing the site for Fort Siloso in 1878. Mount Siloso which is the name of the hill at Siloso Point required levelling to create a suitable flat area for a gun platform. To level the area quickly, Lt. McCallum used 19,000 Pounds (8,636 Kgs) of gun powder to blow away the top of the hill. The workforce then set to, and construction of accommodation, an Engine Shed to provide power for the Fort, Magazines, and three gun emplacements began. At that time, there were no roads in the area. All stores and equipment for the construction work had to be delivered by boat and landed at a small jetty. This was situated not far from the present entrance to the fort. The Stairs down to the jetty survive.
Lifting building materials, heavy stores, equipment and guns up to the top of Mount Siloso was by no means an easy task for the workforce. There was no powered machinery to do the job for them in those days. The only method open to the workers was sheer muscle-power. A tried and trusted method called “parbuckling” was employed. This was both labour intensive and physically demanding work, especially in the heat and humidity of Singapore. The first armament to be installed at Fort Siloso consisted of two 64 Pounder RML (Rifled Muzzle Loading) Guns and three 7-Inch RML Guns. The 7-Inch Guns were also known as “Bottle Guns” because their shape was reminiscent of the soda pop bottles of the day. The fort was initially manned by 18 men of the Singapore Volunteer Artillery. Two of the 7-Inch RML guns were emplaced opposite the Magazine near the entrance to the fort. The third gun was emplaced at the newly levelled top of Mount Siloso. This gun had its own magazine to one side. The two 64 Pounders, were emplaced “en barbette”. That is to say that the guns on their carriages were stood on a solid flat platform and fired over an earthen parapet. This gun emplacement was behind the Gunners Shelter and to the side of the present Battery Command Post. The parapet allowed a good field of fire, but gave less protection to the gunners than an embrasure.
To supplement the guns, a string of electrically operated mines, powered from the Engine Shed, were laid across the entrance to the harbour from Siloso to Tanjong Berlayar on Singapore Island. These were controlled from, and tested in an underground room. Almost as soon as Fort Siloso was completed and operational, there were comments about the armament. Governor Weld in 1880 said,"The Mount Siloso Battery needs heavier guns". Plans to up-rate the defences were not long in coming. In 1881, there were two plans for an update to the Fort’s armament. Colonel Crossman produced plans for several 10-Inch BL Batteries which never came to fruition. The other plan would reduce the 64-Pounder Battery to a single gun, and add five armour piercing guns and a rifled howitzer. Neither plan was implemented although two 10-Inch BL Guns were emplaced at Fort Palmer on Singapore Island. Fort Siloso remained armed with its three 7-Inch RML and the two 64 Pounder RML Guns. In 1885, another plan was drawn up for improving the armament at Fort siloso. These were carried forward and within a few years, a more modern. BL Gun was emplaced below Mount Siloso facing more to the west than the 64 Pounders. An underground magazine was to be constructed for the new gun.
The same set of plans shows the emplacement of a fourth 7-Inch RML Gun at the top of Mount Siloso. This being close to the 7-Inch Gun already on the Mount, but facing south-west. This new gun was approximately where the No.2 Gun emplacement of the present Mount Siloso 6-Inch Battery is. To the right of the new gun, was built a Look-Out Post. The July 1886 ‘Précis of Existing and Proposed Defences’, listed three 7-Inch RML and two 64-Pounder RML Guns as being at Siloso. Proposed armament was given as four 7-Inch RML and one 9.2-Inch BL Guns. A side note stated, “Well advanced. Emplacement and magazine nearly ready”. Vice Admiral R. Vasey Hamilton recorded that the two 64 Pounders were no longer in place in March 1887. The Pasir Panjang Battery at Tanjong Berlayar was operational by 1889. This battery is north west of Fort Siloso on the other side of the harbour entrance. Some six hundred yards (550 meters) separate the batteries. Both batteries commanded the western approach to Keppel Harbour and would have been a formidable defence against any attack from the west. In 1896, a plan was issued which showed a change in armament. The plan was for two 12 Pounder QF (Quick Firing) guns to replace the 7-Inch RML Guns overlooking Keppel Harbour, and for two 6-Inch QF Guns to be emplaced on top of Mount Siloso, replacing the two 7-Inch RML Guns there. The emplaced 7-Inch Guns needed a gun crew of 10 and took a long time to load. A fast moving enemy craft approaching, or in the Harbour would have been practically impossible for them to hit. This type of gun had been long condemned as being unsuitable for their purpose.
The proposed changes were still in progress in 1898. The list of Approved Armaments for the Straits Settlements for 1st January 1898 shows armament then mounted at the Fort as being two 7-Inch RML Guns and a 9.2-Inch BL Gun. The list also had two 12-Pounder QF Guns and the two 6-Inch QF Guns as being approved additions to the armament. The 12-Pounders, more suitable to harbour defence than the 7-Inch RMLs were in place by 1st January 1899 and were located where the No.1, 7-Inch RML Gun once overlooked Keppel Harbour. The 6-Inch QF Guns were mounted by the following year. Singapore’s defences played no part in the First World War. They did, however, play a role in the mutiny of Indian troops which occurred during 1915. Searchlights situated on Blakang Mati were used to illuminate parts of Singapore Island to aid loyal troops in quelling the mutiny. Singapore Harbour also played host to Japanese warships which were provided by the Japanese government, then allies. It has perhaps been forgotten that the Japanese provided convoy escort vessels in the Mediterranean Sea for allied forces during the First World War.
Fort Siloso was one of the artillery forts earmarked for further improvement following General Sir Webb Gilman’s visit to Singapore in 1927. He had been sent by the British Government to plan new coast defences for Singapore. This in order to protect the naval base which was to be built on the north of the Island. As well as major improvements for existing coast artillery forts, General Gilman had recommended the construction of several new forts, with guns of up to 15-Inch in calibre. These would cover all sea approaches to Singapore, not just the harbour approaches. Two new Fire Commands would control the defence of sea approaches to Singapore, Changi and Faber. Changi Command would cover the eastern approaches to Singapore and the proposed naval base, and Faber the southern and western approaches to Singapore.
Between 1930 and 1939, the Fort was manned by the 3rd Hong Kong & Singapore (HKS) RA Battery. Their training and peace time quarters were at India Lines on Blakang Mati. The troops marched to and from their quarters each day. Other British Artillery units also used the Fort for training. The Battery Command Post was enlarged into that seen today on Mount Siloso. The 6-Inch QF Guns were retired from service. Mark VII 6-Inch BL Guns on Mark II CP (Centre Pivot) Mountings were emplaced where the QF Guns had been. This will have been around about 1932. The Singapore Free Press, on 20 June 1932, carried an advertisement for the sale of 5,000lb of electrical cable from Fort Siloso. This must have been the electrical cabling for the QF Guns, and other areas such as the Battery Command Post. The Command Post was renamed as the Battery Observation Post. Two Twin Lewis anti-aircraft guns were set up at the entrance to the fort, where in earlier days there were 12-Pounder QF Guns. Two machine gun posts were also constructed. The Mark VII 6-Inch BL Guns emplaced were not the most modern of weapons at that time. They had actually been superceded by the Mark 24. Of the 6-Inch Coastal Batteries in Singapore, only the Sphinx Battery on Pulau Tekong received the more modern Mark 24 Guns which had a greater range.
The underground power house was enlarged into a major underground complex, the biggest in the Fort. The enlarged complex led down to Siloso Point, the old Malay name for which was ‘Sarang Rimau’ or ‘Tiger's Lair’ as tigers were said to have once roamed this area. The complex now consisted of; an engine room, stores for fuel and ammunition and an Observation Post (OP). At Siloso Point an AMTB Director Tower was constructed with a 12-Pounder QF Gun being emplaced in 1941. The plan was for a Twin 6-Pounder was to be mounted here. However, when the defences were completed, none were available for use at the fort, although they were mounted elsewhere in Singapore (a Twin 6-Pounder was mounted at Siloso Point after the war). The Fort Siloso Record Book mentions a second 12 Pounder having been at Siloso. Its location not mentioned, but it was possibly near the Guardroom where the 1896 planned emplacement was. Here it would overlook Keppel Harbour. There is no visible evidence of any other 12-Pounder Emplacement in the Fort. This gun was moved to another battery.
Five searchlight positions were also constructed. These searchlights were not for anti-aircraft use, but to illuminate any suspicious vessel approaching the harbour. Two were Fighting Lights for the 6-Inch Guns and three to provide illumination for the 12-Pounder. In the years leading up to the Second World War, a daily exercise was conducted at Siloso Point. Every day, a ‘water boat’ passed through the harbour entrance between Siloso and Tanjong Berlayer. This boat, delivering water to outposts, was tracked, targeted and ‘sunk’ by the Siloso guns. Elsewhere on Blakang Mati, Forts Connaught and Serapong were also being improved and their armament up-rated. The 9.2 Inch BL Gun on Mount Imbiah was removed and the emplacement was abandoned. Pill-boxes and machine gun posts were constructed at various places on Blakang Mati to cover the beaches. By 1941, the defences of Blakang Mati had been completed. On the 8th December 1941, the Japanese landed at Kota Bahru in northern Malaya at 0215 Tokyo time (one hour and ten minutes before their strike at Pearl Harbor). Singapore had, ready to deter a sea borne assault, a powerful coastal artillery defence system under the command of Brigadier A.D. Curtis, the Commander Fixed Defences.
Twelve Coast Batteries were on Singapore, Pulau Brani, Blakang Mati and Pulau Tekong. On the Malayan mainland at Pengerang to the south east of Pulau Tekong, was another 6-Inch Battery. Faber Fire Command (7th Coast Artillery Regiment) controlled the Pasir Laba, Buona Vista, Labrador, Siloso, Connaught, Serapong, and Silingsing Batteries. Changi Fire Command (9th Coast Artillery Regiment) controlled Johore, Beting Kusah, Changi, Sphinx, Tekong and Pengerang Batteries. The gun batteries were backed-up by four RAF airfields and infantry soldiers. Unfortunately, the RAF had precious few aircraft, and none of them modern front-line fighters. The infantry were desperately lacking in numbers and training, and there were no tanks. All of which had been recommended more than once to bolster the defences of Singapore and Malaya. To cap it all, the north of Singapore Island had very little in the way of defensive works.
Successive British Governments and the War Office in London, had for years ignored recommendations for strong defences in the north of the island and in Malaya to be built up. They had a blinkered outlook on defence, and would not accept that any attack could come from the north. But come it did, and by the end of January 1942, the Japanese were at the gates of Singapore. The British Prime Minister, Winston Churchill later said the he had, “No more thought of Singapore having no northern defences than of a battleship being launched without a bottom”. In saying this he, at the very least, misled Parliament and the people. When he was Chancellor of the Exchequer, he drastically cut Singapore’s defence budget, thus preventing essential defence works being carried out. He also clearly knew about the parlous state of the defences against attack from the north, having been warned about them more than once.
From 1939 to 1942, The 3rd HKS RA remained at the Fort, along with some British personnel posted there. The CASLs (Coastal Artillery Searchlights) were manned by men of the Royal Engineers, both British and Malay. It is recorded that the Fort was bombed and strafed by Japanese aircraft. Damage was done to the water tanks and other buildings. The Fort Record Book reports that, during February 1942, The Siloso guns shelled Japanese positions with HE (High Explosive) and AP (Armour Piercing) ammunition. On the 15th February, news of the capitulation of the Singapore Garrison reached Blakang Mati. An imprisonment of unspeakable barbarity and which many would not survive had begun. Fort Siloso became a Prisoner of War Camp following the British Surrender. Civilians were also imprisoned at the Fort. Since the Japanese attack on Singapore, a myth has developed and has been kept alive by those who really do not know the truth. This myth is that the Singapore guns faced the wrong way. This is incorrect, the guns did not face the wrong way. As coast artillery, which they were designed for, they were ideally located, and faced the appropriate direction, but most had all-round or near all-round traverse.
The "Statement by Command of Guns of the approved armament capable and required to fire landwards" of November 1937 listed the following batteries; Connaught, Serapong, siloso. Silingsing, Labrador, Pasir Laba, Tekong, Sphinx, Changi, Beting Kusah and Pengerang. This was before all approved armaments became operational. In 1942, with the exception of the Buona Vista 15-inch Battery and the southern-most (No.1 Gun) 15-Inch gun of the Johore Battery at Changi, all the guns were capable of near all-round or all-round traverse. However when the war with Japan broke out, with the exception of Changi and Sphinx Batteries, concrete overhead splinter covers had been constructed at the Singapore 6-Inch Batteries to provide additional shelter for the gunners. The concrete overhead covers had the effect of reducing the arc of fire of the guns. Sphinx Battery, with its Mark 24 Guns had a steel shield completely covering the guns and Changi Battery, which apart from its gun shield were left uncovered.
The Changi Battery was due to have splinter covers installed, but when war broke out, the installation was postponed. Covers were also constructed at the Pengerang Battery. There were no impediments to the traverse of the 9.2-Inch Guns at Connaught and Tekong. To make things worse, for an attack from land, the guns did not have a lot of high-explosive (HE) ammunition. For the big guns, there was only one 15-Inch HE shell on Singapore Island. Being coastal artillery, all of the guns had plenty of armour-piercing (AP) ammunition which, as the name implies is designed to burst through armour plate before exploding inside a warship where it would do most damage. HE ammunition has a relatively thin casing, and explodes on or near the surface at the point of impact and the shrapnel, or metal splinters from the fragmenting shell causes tremendous damage to nearby troops and equipment. AP shells have a thick casing for penetrating armour plate. Used against land targets such as troops or artillery, AP shells bury themselves deep in the ground before exploding, and do not fragment like HE shells, therefore are not suitable for counter battery or anti-personnel use. Despite this, when the Japanese attacked, all the guns that could, fired on them using what HE shells they had followed by AP.
The photograph shows a 9.2-Inch AP Shell fired from Fort Connaught in February 1942 on the advancing Japanese. The shell was recovered from the Pasir Panjang area. It shows how little fragmentation there could be from an AP shell. Having adequate stocks of HE shells may not have stopped the Japanese taking Singapore, the battle had been lost many years before it started, but Japanese casualties would have been much higher. The battle may have lasted longer and eased the pressure on Burma. When the Japanese approached and launched their attack on Singapore, it is recorded in War Diaries that guns of the Johore, Tekong, Connaught, Changi, Sphinx, Pasir Laba, Labrador and Siloso Batteries took part in the battle. The overhead cover of the No.1 Gun at Pasir Laba was partly demolished to enable the gun to fire on the Japanese landing sites. The No. 2 Gun could not be brought to bear. There is also evidence that part of the concrete covers at Labrador and Siloso were demolished to enable the guns to fire on the advancing Japanese.
It is not recorded anywhere that that I could find, that the Silingsing, Serapong or Beting Kusah Guns took part in the Battle. Post-war evidence shows that the concrete canopies at these batteries had not been partly demolished or demolished to enable the guns to bear on the Japanese. The location of these guns meant that the substantially built-up covers to the rear of the guns prevented fire to the west, from where the main Japanese thrust came from. The No. 2 gun of Serapong had had its canopy destroyed by a bomb, but it is still not recorded as turning and firing. It is likely that the top of Mount Serapong would have prevented this. Fort Siloso,as stated above, and several other forts, were bombed and shelled by the Japanese. Pasir Laba and Labrador (Pasir Panjang) were put out of action. Bomb damage at Siloso was still visible in the 1990s, as can be seen in these 1993 photographs of the long abandoned 7-Inch RML position on Mount Siloso. The last traces of this damage were eliminated when the fort was restored in 1995.
The Japanese failed to repair any of the spiked 6-Inch and 9.2-Inch Guns on Blakang Mati, but did manage to recover and remount the 12-Pounder at OSO (Siloso Point). The Twin 6-Pounders at Berhala Reping were damaged beyond repair. On Singapore island, The Japanese were successful at remounting one 6-Inch Gun at Labrador Battery and one at Beting Kusah. They also managed to remount the No.2 15-Inch Gun of the Buona Vista Battery. These repaired guns were never fired in anger by the Japanese. Fort Siloso continued to serve the Japanese as a POW Camp until the end of the war. Both military personnel and civilian being incarcerated there. Following the Japanese surrender, Fort Siloso returned to British occupancy. In September that year, it was initially re-occupied by men of the Royal Navy. Japanese soldiers themselves now found themselves prisoners of war at the Fort (right). Their conditions of imprisonment being a lot more pleasant, and the food being more plentiful, than when they were in charge.
In March 1946, the 1st Malay Coast Battery RA came to Blakang Mati. Undamaged equipment from other gun batteries in Singapore was brought in to re-equip the Fort. This included two Mark VII 6-Inch Guns with Mark II CPM (Centre Pivot Mounting). One of these guns came from Beting Kusah and the other must have come from Labrador. Both of which batteries where the Japanese had repaired 6-Inch Guns. These were installed by August. The Fort was still without essential equipment such as Range Finders and Gun Telescopes. The overhead concrete splinter cover on the emplacement was probably demolished at this time. In October 1947, the Training Wing of 1st Malay Coast Artillery RA came to Fort Siloso, under the command of Major G.L. Brewster. Additional equipment began arriving from elsewhere to continue in the re-equipping of the Fort.
In 1947, a Twin Six Pounder arrived at Siloso. This gun came from the Ceylon (now called Sri Lanka) Breakwater. It was mounted at Siloso Point with work being completed in March 1948. The photo on the right was taken at Fort Rodd Hill in Victoria Island, British Columbia, Canada. This gun was originally mounted in Norway. Two other Twin 6-Pounders are known to survive. They overlook the Rio Tejo from the Jardim da Torre de Belém in Lisbon, Portugal. Harold Dursley was in REME (Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers) attached to the Royal Artillery at Fort Siloso from 1947-48 during his National Service. His job at the Fort was assisting a Royal Artillery Warrant Officer (WO). Armament Artificer to carry out special wear checks on the barrel of the installed 6-Inch Guns. He believes the WO condemned a barrel at that time. As Harold says, “Not surprising as I recall that it was made in Woolwich in 1898”.
The photo on the left shows Harold (right) with the WO beside him at a 6-Inch Gun. One gun barrel, Serial No. 1349, was removed and taken to the Drill Mounting behind ‘F’ Block on the Main Square in July 1948. This was returned to Siloso in June the following year as a salvaged 6-Inch Barrel was found to replace it at ‘F’ Block. Barrel No. 1349 is recorded as having been at Beting Kusah pre-war. Map references shown in records along with the serial no. indicate that it was the No.1 Gun at Beting Kusah. In February 1950 the 6-Inch Battery fired a Proof of Mounting, and the Twin 6 Pounder fired a Calibration. The recoil of the 6-Inch Guns was so violent that CREME (Commander REME) condemned the equipment.
Not long later, two Mark 24 6-Inch Guns with Mark V Shields were brought to Siloso and emplaced. These had been at BOD (Base Ordnance Depot) and had come from Haifa in Israel. A third gun, also from Haifa was mounted behind ‘F’ Block near the Main Square, also for training purposes. Also during 1950, A CA No.2 Mk.1 Radar arrived at Siloso and was temporarily sited alongside the BOP.
An Observation Post is shown by the arrow. This and the concrete wall behind it were demolished and the ground levelled sometime after 1954 by the British. In 1951, Modifications were made to the 6-Inch Battery to give it, a “full role” and the magazine was renovated. A PF Cell was prepared and the engine room was moved underground. A Seawards Defence Headquarters was established at Serapong, using the radar which had been at Siloso. On the disbandment of the Coastal Artillery by the British Army in May 1956, The guns were sold to local scrap dealers. Gurkha detachments manned the Fort until its return to the Singapore authorities in 1967. In that year, with the withdrawal of the British from the island, Blakang Mati was occupied by the Maritime Command of the Singapore Armed Forces. In 1972 Fort Siloso became a historical site when the Government of Singapore decided to develop Blakang Mati which was renamed as Sentosa (Island of Tranquility) for recreational purposes.
Elsewhere on Sentosa, most of Fort Connaught has been demolished with a Coralarium and later a golf course being built on the site. The Coralarium itself has vanished and the site has been extended by land reclamation which has taken in a nearby small island, the area now being called Sentosa Cove. Nearby is a Ground Satellite Station. The No. 3 Gun Emplacement and a Fire Control Tower are hidden in trees above Allenbrooke Road. Its Magazine is still accessible. The No. 1 and No. 2 Gun Emplacements can still be seen as large mounds on the golf course with a rest area having been built on the No.1 Emplacement. The Magazines for the No.1 Gun are still accessible with a little difficulty. Berhala Reping is now no longer an island and is attached to another golf course on reclaimed land. The Director Towers and the emplacements for the two Twin 6 Pounder Quick-firing Guns still stand there. In the days after the Japanese victory, many bodies of Chinese inhabitants of Singapore were washed up near here following some of the many ‘Sook Ching’ murders perpetrated by occupying forces. On Mount Serapong can be found remains of the 8-Inch, 9.2-Inch and 6-Inch Batteries.

KRI Klewang: TNI's fast missile trimaran patrol vessel is launched
If looks alone could kill, you would not want to cross swords with the Indonesian warship, KRI Klewang.
Even without studying her vital stats, the rakish lines of the 63-metre long fast missile patrol boat with three hulls and her dagger-shaped bow tell onlookers KRI Klewang is unlike most other vessels afloat. Indeed, this man-of-war an instant head-turner, which makes this trimaran an ideal candidate for naval diplomacy as well as more serious naval business.
Launched last Friday from the North Sea Boats yard's in East Java, Klewang - she is named after a single-edged Indonesian sword - looks set to be the pride of the TNI. The first of four trimarans built for the TNI, KRI Klewang has few rivals in ASEAN navies when it comes down to a contest for futuristic looking warships.
As with most stealth warships, KRI Klewang follows the informal rule of thumb where the stealthier a war machine, the more attention it seems to attract because of its unusual and funky looking non conventional design.
In the case of KRI Klewang, her hull form is based on the proven wave-piercing trimaran design that saw the 24-m trimaran, Earthrace (above), establish a new world record for the fastest round-the-world trip by a power boat. Two years of intensive research and development with New Zealand naval architects, LOMOcean, saw the X3K trimaran design evolve into the KRI Klewang. Check out LOMOcean's designs here.
Built entirely of carbon fibre composites, KRI Klewang has almost no magnetic signature. Her sharply angled superstructure adds to the vessel's low observable features that make her hard to detect by radar.
Once the TNI completes the concept of operations for Klewang-class trimarans, the CONOPS for stealthy trimarans optimised for shallow draft work could see Klewang and her sister ships operate close to shore to make the warships less detectable against the clutter from land.
The 30+ knot dash speed and manoeuvrability of the vessels in confined waters, together with the suggestion that they can carry a gun/missile-armament give the trimarans the firepower needed to execute high speed ambushes against enemy vessels transiting narrow sea lanes.
A crew of 29 officers and ratings operate the warship. Accommodation and fighting spaces are spread over three decks. Space and weight has been reserved for an embarked special forces team or Indonesian Marines of unspecified size. The idea is for the trimaran to serve as a parent boat which can make a high speed run to deliver the passengers to their area of operations. A 11-m RHIB, capable of 50 knots, can be launched and retrieved while the trimaran is underway via a docking bay in the stern.
While the TNI's diesel-electric subs are no doubt the stealthiest boats in the fleet, the combination of shallow water in littoral areas, underwater obstructions (rocks and uncharted wrecks) and constraints on the number of passengers an SSK can embark make a surface insertion the preferred option in some situations. The Klewangs will give TNI greater flexibility in ops planning of special forces insertion/extraction as mission planners have another option to use.
KRI Klewang's specific warload is classified. However, North Sea Boats has said the trimaran will carry a China-made combat data system and a "rapid fire CIWS". A fact sheet circulated by the yard said the trimarans are designed to carry up to eight Type 705 anti-ship missiles, or RBS-15 or Exocet type SSMs. Gun armament could comprise 40mm to 57mm guns or a close-in weapon system of unspecified type. "These can be mounted high on the superstructure, giving better range and firing arc," it added.
Gun and missile armament will all be concealed to minimise radar signature, with the CIWS or gun turret unmasked when the trimaran closes up for action stations.
KRI Klewang's launch will be followed by extensive sea trials from October 2012. The warship is expected to be fully operational in 2013.

They have no defense-boosting functions, relying on distance rather than damage reduction. All CC Piercers are a ram assembly that propels a large object towards an enemy. The signature Piercer, the Blasthole Spear , fires an enormous steel spike which penetrates an enemy and then injects plasma into them to cause an explosion.
Pacific War - Wikipedia
This can attack multiple enemies at once, and attacking twice in a row in quick succession triggers a lunging attack with better damage and far greater range than the normal attack. The Blast Twin Spear is a variant on the same theme. This weapon features an automatic boost when fired and attacks with two spears at the same time, consuming two ammunition per shot but dealing incredible damage. Like the Blasthole Spear, a quick follow-on attack leads to an even more powerful lunge.
The Spine Driver sacrifices the Blasthole Spear's penetration and lunge attack for a stronger first attack. The Flashing Spear and Jackhammer weapons are rapid-fire versions of the Blasthole Spear and Spine Driver, weaker than a single attack with either of the latter and lacking the Blasthole Spear's lunge ability, but more useful against swarms. It must be noted however they come with a longer startup animation than the spears, limiting their usage in kiting. The Jackhammer also allows the Fencer to defeat his enemies with a comically large mechanical fist, however, while still including a dash ability, due to the odd firing mechanics of the Jackhammer it cannot be fired between dashes, as such it cannot be used for dash cancelling without being paired with another weapon that can do so.
This category is mostly the Fencer's equivalent of the Ranger's assault rifles, and includes Gatling guns and single-barrel heavy machine guns. There are also automatic shotguns and some oddities like Flame Revolvers and the Disruptor energy weapon. There are two types of Hand Gatling : the FG series deal more damage per shot and have superior range, while the UT series have more ammunition. Both types have long reloads and take a short time to spin up before firing their first shot, and have a small but controllable amount of muzzle climb; this is increased, though still manageable, if two are fired at once.
The Galleon Cannon is a single-barrel or dual-barrel heavy machine gun with a much slower rate of fire than the Hand-Gatlings, but much higher per-shot damage. The back-mounted twin version fires faster, while the handheld single-barrel version is more powerful. The Dexter Automatic Shotgun is a belt-fed shotgun with a similar rate of fire to the Galleon, but high damage with a broad spread of shot. It is useful against aerial foes and at close range. The Disruptor is a powerful direct-fire energy weapon. Like the Ranger's Fusion Blaster , it fires a continuous beam and cannot be reloaded.
Log-transformation and its implications for data analysis
A Disruptor will continue to fire even if the fire button is released, but it is possible to cease firing by switching to the Fencer's other weapon set. The Flame Revolver is one of the Fencer's stranger weapons, a special rotary gun which generates enormous amounts of heat in its barrels before firing off a powerful jet of flames. The Flame Revolvers are very powerful in tunnel levels, but have the longest spin-up time of any Fencer weapon seconds and ridiculous recoil; it is impossible to aim two Flame Revolvers at the same time since the recoil is so strong the Fencer will end up looking straight up.
The recoil of a single Flame Revolver is still hard to control: it can bought to heel to an extent by increasing turning speed in the options menu. This category mostly consists of arcing-fire weapons, including tank-grade cannons, area suppression " Javelin Catapults " and heavy mortars.
It also contains two oddities, the one-off Powerdyne and Ifrit weapons. The Hand Cannon is a modified tank gun designed for infantry use, and is the Fencer's version of a sniper rifle. It fires massive armor-piercing shells that arc with distance, and is equipped with a zoom as its use option for precise fire. Notably, the Fencer must alternate fire if he is carrying two Hand-Cannons though this is common for Artillery weapons , since there is a set-up animation for each shot, though two guns still fire faster than one.
4.1. Types of Societies
Hand Cannons can be used for dash cancelling, and in fact can fire faster than normal if one dashes immediately after firing. The Gallic Heavy Cannon is a slower-firing but even more powerful version of the Hand-Cannon with a flatter trajectory and superior range.
fensterstudio.ru/components/jycyvyroc/vywer-localizar-mi.php If dual-wielded, it can make a Fencer deal the same effective damage over time as an Epsilon Armored Railgun. The Cannon Shot is a gigantic slow-firing flat-trajectory shotgun firing a huge cloud of up to 80 projectiles at a time. Individual shot damage is low, but the entire cloud is devastating and the range is enormous. The Canister Cannon is similar to the Cannon Shot, but with a lower count of high-damage projectiles that arc with gravity. Javelin Catapults are primarily useful for dash-cancelling and hard to use for anything else since they fire in an arc offset 45 degrees from the current point of aim.
They are more or less useless as weapons on their own, being slow-firing semi-automatics, but having two will "couple" them; holding fire on both will then result in very fast fully automatic fire which can saturate an area with steel darts.

China’s government on Monday denied a recent report saying it had carried out a test of a nuclear capable hypersonic missile, stating that the launch was a “routine test of a space vehicle”.
On Sunday, the Financial Times reported China’s military in August carried out its first ever test of a “nuclear capable hypersonic missile”, adding that the test “circled the globe before speeding towards its target, demonstrating an advanced space capability that caught U.S. intelligence by surprise”.
The newspaper quoted five people familiar with the test as saying the Chinese military launched a rocket that carried a hypersonic glide vehicle “which flew through low-orbit space before cruising down towards its target”.
Two of those people told the newspaper the test “showed that China had made astounding progress on hypersonic weapons and was far more advanced than U.S. officials realised.” Only the U.S., Russia and China were developing the hypersonic glide vehicles, the newspaper said, noting they are far more difficult to track than ballistic missiles.
The Chinese Foreign Ministry, however, denied the report. “As we understand,” spokesperson Zhao Lijian said, “this was a routine test of space vehicle to verify technology of spacecraft’s reusability.”
“It is of great significance to reducing the cost of using space vehicle and providing a convenient and cheap way for mankind’s two-way transportation in the peaceful use of space,” he added. “Several companies around the world have conducted similar tests. After separating from the space vehicle before its return, the supporting devices will burn up when it’s falling in the atmosphere and the debris will fall into the high seas. China will work with other countries in the world for the peaceful use of space for the benefit of mankind.”
The Financial Times quoted security experts as saying the test was conducted in August. It noted that the China Academy of Launch Vehicle Technology, which carries out launches, had in July announced its 77th launch of a Long March rocket, and in end-August said it had carried out a 79th flight, sparking speculation about a secretive 78th launch that had not been reported.
Asked if he was referring to the same launch as reported by the Financial Times, Mr. Zhao said, “It’s not a missile, but a space vehicle.” | weapons_science |

I went to the USS Intrepid exhibit, part of which includes the USS Growler, an early Cold War nuclear armed submarine. These vessels had to surface to fire the cruise missile and were diesel powered. Therefore, the USS Growler represented an interim weapon between the World War II fleet and the modern nuclear navy.
Please see: http://www.ussgrowler.com/growler.html
U.S.S. GROWLER was a pioneer when she departed on her first Nuclear Deterrent Patrol in 1960. Armed with Regulus nuclear cruise missiles, she helped usher in a new era of strategic defense. She was one of the predecessors which led to the deployment of a large fleet of sophisticated submarines armed with Polaris nuclear missiles. The concept of strategic deterrent was revolutionized when these missiles were sent out to sea in large numbers. Hidden deep in the oceans, they were nearly undetectable. Even more significant, underwater-positioned missiles greatly reduced the risk of nuclear attack against the U.S. mainland. It was suicide for a hostile power to strike at population centers while retaliatory missiles were poised beneath the sea. Prior to GROWLER and her companions, all of America's strategic nuclear weapons had been based on land, relatively close to people.
Sending the missiles out to the sea on submarines like GROWLER proved to be the most effective nuclear deterrent ever used. All of the world powers followed the example, thereby greatly reducing the possibility of all-out war.
Compared to today's awesome Trident nuclear missile submarines, which have replaced the aging Polaris vessels, GROWLER is rudimentary and undersized. However, she is historically significant because of the vital role she played as a deterrent to nuclear war. That concept continues to be a cornerstone of America's strategic defense today.
As such, GROWLER is still relevant to the everyday lives of all Americans. GROWLER is on permanent display as part of the Intrepid Sea-Air-Space Museum at 46th Street and 12th Avenue in New York City. Visit the museum via the link at the bottom of this page. | weapons_science |

The sports optics industry is a multimillion-dollar business, and there are several options available based on the hunter’s demands.
Riflescopes are classified into two kinds. First, due to their broader field of view in low-light circumstances, low-power scopes are better suited for moving and close-range targets. Second, sighting a rifle scope is ideal for target shooting and long-range hunting of small animals.
Contrary to common opinion, scopes do not have a distinct advantage over other rifle sighting systems such as iron sights and aperture sights. When hunting in close cover, scopes are noticeably slower than a peep sight and, in fact, less accurate than a sports optic. The significant advantage of the riflescope is its ease of usage since there is no requirement for sight alignment while using rifle scopes.
The magnification to be utilized is the first consideration when selecting a scope. Most rifle scopes have magnification settings ranging from 3X to 9X. Hunters prefer to use them to ensure that the animal is a viable game (an adult buck, not a doe) before zeroing in on the ideal death shot. However, fixed magnification sites are available, with the benefit that the eye is not strained nearly as much, and hunters may stay in the game for longer.
All of these military rifle scopes are lawful and meet all federal safety standards. Everything is very reasonably priced and comes with the necessary documentation. So, whether you want one for protection or enjoyment, you have nothing to worry about. It may be enjoyed in a variety of ways other than merely connecting it to a rifle. You may use it to go camping, hunting, and sightseeing, and experience everything in a much different but better way. You may even use it at night to check on your lawn or other property, so you don’t have to travel an inch further simply to make sure everything is in its correct and ideal position. But keep in mind that it is better to have the proper military rifle scope for your lifestyle and current demands for your safety and preventive measures, as well as leisure activities. | weapons_science |

Nano Technology is a technology that uses carbon nano-tubes to reinforce and strengthen aramid fibers for ballistic use. It costs a little bit more but it adds significant benefits over typical body armor options.
In 2016, GNTMCO researchers were able to blend carbon nano-tube fibers into a substrate to create what we call Nano Technology. With Nano Technology, they were able to create a soft body armor that performs above NIJ threat Level IIIA standards. It is less than 1/4 inch thick and can be worn beneath everyday clothing.
Combining the power of Nano Technology with other ballistic materials such as Aramid Fibers and Polyethylene, GNTMCO is able to offer you some of the best armored products in the world. With this technology, GNTMCO offers two types of armor.
Option 1: ELITE Armor
This armor is made from a combination of Nano Technology and Polyethylene. The combination of these materials creates a synergistic relationship allowing for a stronger, longer lasting and waterproof armored solution.
Option 2: STANDARD Armor
This armor is made from a combination of Nano Technology and Aramid Fibers (aka Kevlar). This combination of these materials creates a synergistic relationship allowing for a stronger, lighter and more affordable armored solution. | weapons_science |

Whether you’re playing a simple one-on-one sparring match in a game or an elaborate fighting system in a role-playing game, you can’t escape the thrill of swinging a sword at an opponent. But what sets sword games apart from other games is that rather than focusing on combat, sword games are about exploration, discovery, and survival. The goal isn’t to defeat your enemies, but to survive them.
Some games put you on a quest to save the world. Others let you slice and dice your enemies, collecting their loot as you go. But what if you could combine the best of both worlds? The world of immersive, story-driven adventure games with the deep, tactical combat of strategy games?
Sword Games, also known as historical fencing, is a branch of fencing that focuses on historical swords and other period weapons such as weapons for pole arms and weapons for mounted combat such as the lance, the saber, and the broadsword. They were the primary weapons of the medieval knight and were historically used by armies. when they were revived and became an important part of ceremonial sword work and ceremony.
Sword Games are a type of group exercise that combines the core elements of sociological-linguistic, physical, and role-playing elements into a unique and exciting format. This class combines elements of martial arts, dance, strength training, and nutrition to create an exciting mix of challenging and fun!
Play Sword Games
The sword is a long-time symbol of strength and power, royal lineage and status. It is a cultural icon and a symbol of national pride.
In ancient times, the sword was the primary weapon of the warrior. Today, practitioners of aikido, kendo, tae kwon do, kendo karate, and iaido, all of which emphasize the importance of striking with the hilt of your sword (known as Gokyo no Kata in Japanese), are still performing this exercise.
Over the years, humans have made many different types of weapons to use against each other. Some of these weapons are used for hunting and some are used in combat. However, in the last couple of years, humans have started to make games that are based on sword fighting.
In the world of games, the sword and shield have been the foundation of the experience for years. The basic, fundamental gameplay of hack and slash, parry and counters. It’s all about the action, and the adrenaline rush that comes with it. But the world of games is changing, and so are we.
Play Free Online Sword Games
The best way to describe Sword and Sorcery games is to say that they’re like modern action movies with giant monsters and dragons. They’re fast-paced adventures full of magic, monsters, and violence. They’re also full of rich worldbuilding and unforgettable characters. You’ll spend your time fighting monsters, solving puzzles, and talking to interesting people.
The sword is a weapon commonly used in games and movies. It is a long, curved weapon that is used to attack enemies and cause damage. The sword is one of the most iconic weapons in media and has been used in games and movies for many years.
Sword Game Over the years, many people have learned about the legendary sword game played by the kings of old. Some say it is an elaborate hoax, others say it is a simple parlor game. No one, however, has come close to unlocking the secrets of the game, until now.
Sword Games are the best games. Swords are cool, and games with swords are cooler. They are the best games of all time. | weapons_science |

It still holds the rank of most produced American military aircraft to date. Often confused for the B-17 flying fortress, this aircraft had greater range and top-end speed, but at a cost. The fuel tank’s placement along the upper fuselage often compromised the safety of the crew during battle. The planes were notorious for catching fire, and crews often complained about the oddly-placed “Davis Wing,” which caused the plane to break apart during crash landing.
The Consolidated Liberator is shown here, flying towards the front, with the support of a prolific naval fleet. The weather, both literally and figuratively, suggests "smooth sailing" from here on out, while the destroyers below add a sense of stability and purpose. | weapons_science |

Well a bad cold has kept me off the water over over a week. So no fishing reports. But what do you say – lets talk about a classic revolver – the S&W Model 19 .357 Combat Magnum.
The model 19 .357 combat magnum first came available in 1957 and stayed in continuous production until November of 1999, a 42 year long testimony to their popularity. It is a traditional double-action 6-shot revolver, built on a K frame. Mine, in the photo above, is a 4″ model 19-2, built in 1966. I bought it second hand to use in my NRA training classes, where it proved to be an outstanding choice.
S&W used the term Combat Magnum to refer to a magnum firearm, suitable for police or military use. That typically meant a 4″ barrel, ramp front sight, adjustable rear sights, large target grips, and a short-action hammer. Consequently this firearm was the pick of a great many local policemen, highway patrolmen from California to Connecticut, as well as the FBI, Secret Service, and US Customs. In fact the Model 19 may well be the most widely used and popular law enforcement firearm ever made.
Early Model 19s had a lot of additional feature, many of which are no longer available. My
blued firearm has a pinned barrel, recessed cylinders, square butt frame, ribbed barrel, grooved backstrap, grooved forestrap, wide serrated target trigger, auto trigger stop, and large target Goncalo Alves grips with diamond logo insert.
In its time, the Model 19 offered an ideal combination of firepower and portability (36 ounces empty). It balances well in the hand, is quick on target, and controllable. In addition, like all 357 magnums, it is an extremely versatile gun capable of firing 38 special, 38 special plus, and 357 magnum. And on top of all that, I find it to be a good looking firearm too. Don’t you?
Is the Model 19 gone? Well not quite. In 2014, Smith & Wesson once again began offering the Model 66 – a stainless steel version of the good old Model 19 .357 Combat Magnum.

Pacific Small Island Developing States (PSIDS) are committed to finding genuine and durable solutions so that nuclear weapons are never again used. Speaking on behalf of PSIDS at the United Nations General Assembly today, Fiji's Permanent Representative Ambassador Peter Thomson, called upon nuclear-weapon States to reduce and ultimately eliminate all types of nuclear weapons.
The General Assembly's First Committee is currently debating "General and Complete Disarmament". Ambassador Thomson's statement before the committee affirmed that PSIDS regard the total elimination of nuclear weapons to be an essential perspective, "to protect our fragile environment for the benefit of all future generations, and to reallocate precious resources away from defense matters towards sustainable development."
Between 1946 and 1996, the PSIDS region suffered more than 315 nuclear test explosions carried out in the Pacific, in French Polynesia, Kiribati and the Marshall Islands. Fiji's Ambassador said these explosions had spread radioactive fallout around the PSIDS region and rendered entire atolls permanently uninhabitable.
The PSIDS statement welcomed the renewed focus of the international community on the horrendous humanitarian impact of the use and testing of nuclear weapons. It cited the higher rates of cancer, particularly thyroid cancer, arising from exposure to radiation from these tests.
The PSIDS statement said it was essential that nuclear-armed States took all appropriate measures to reduce the risk of an accidental or unauthorized launch of nuclear weapons. Fiji's Ambassador also called on such States to ensure that nuclear weapons and dirty bombs do not fall into the hands of terrorist groups. | weapons_science |

Bond. James Bond. I know that is what you are thinking when you hear “Walther PPK”… I know I do. However, this is a Walther PPK/S, which is not the same thing. The PPK/S was used in movies with Kevin Costner as Mr. Earl Brooks in "Mr. Brooks" and Dwight Yoakam as Leroy Wasley in "Hollywood Homicide".
A little history: The letters “PPK” stand for the German words Polizei Pistole Kriminal. A direct translation would be “Police Pistol Criminal” which means it was issued to the Criminal division of the police, i.e. the people who investigate crimes, which would be termed 'Detectives Division' in most U.S. police forces. Got that? A Police Detective Pistol.
(Walther PPK/S (Police Detective Pistol) vs Walther PPS (Police Pistol Slim)
The Gun Control Act of 1968 limited the size and weight of handguns that could be imported - hence the Walther PPK was barred because it was too small. To comply with GCA68, imported handguns have to score a minimum number of points. Walther was able to accomplish this by combining the frame of the (lesser-known, full-length barreled) Walther PP with the slide of a PPK, and thus the Walther PPK/S was born. Walther manufactured the PPK/S in Ulm Germany until the mid-70's when economics and a licensing agreement with Interarms moved production to the USA. From 1978 to 1999, USA Walther PPK/S were manufactured by Ranger Manufacturing in Gadsden Alabama and distributed by Interarms. Currently, Walther imports its firearms through Smith&Wesson.
This pistol is a stainless version manufactured in the early 80’s, probably around 1983 by the serial number. Weighing in at 27.4 oz (1lb 11.4oz) fully loaded, the entire gun feels heavy and good in the hand. The gun is sleek and beautiful. This particular one has a Pachmayr wrap-around rubber grip that makes the grip feel natural in your hand. The sights are an interesting set of colors with 2 yellow dots and a red line on the rear and a red dot on the front.
The safety is also a de-cocker, blocking the hammer from the firing pin just before releasing the hammer. There was a recent recall to fix this feature in some newer guns where the hammer didn’t get blocked and the gun went off. This gun is not involved in that recall.
Disassembly: The PPK/S comes apart like the Iver Johnson I reviewed. You have to hold the trigger guard down while pulling the slide back past the hammer. You then lift it up slightly and then forward over the barrel. The parts are simple and well made. I was very impressed that NOTHING looked cheaply made in this gun.
Shooting: The Walther PPK/S shoots like a dream. Very nice with great accuracy, although I think it takes some practice to get really good at it. The recoil is small and the trigger was very smooth. Those wonderfully colorful sights didn’t show up too well in the dimly lit portion of the indoor range. I imagine my shots would be better if I was outside in the sun.
The bad: Nothing bad about this pistol.
Summary: Most gun collectors probably have one of these just because it is a classic of the small .380 guns. I have to say that the stainless version is definitely the prettiest of the PPK/S’s as well. Even after explaining the difference between a Walther PPK and PPK/S, my oldest daughter still wanted me to borrow it again so that SHE got a chance to shoot the “James Bond gun”. Although I have other guns for concealed carry, I would really love to have a stainless Walther PPK/S, even if James Bond DIDN’T carry one. | weapons_science |

Forensics expert Dr Graham Wightman will today give evidence to the Scottish Parliamentary Committee who are gathering formal evidence for Stage 1 of the Air Weapons and Licensing (Scotland) Bill.
Dr Wightman - a Lecturer in Forensic Science at Abertay University - is one of the few scientists in the UK who have to date published research into the safety of air weapons.
His research has shown that it is not only the power of the weapons that needs to be taken into account when assessing their safety, but also the type of ammunition used - round or flat pellets - and how the pellets strike their target as well.
Using ballistic gel to represent muscle tissue, together with animal organs from an abattoir embedded into the gel, Dr Wightman has used CT scanning to examine the trajectory of pellets and the damage they can cause to internal organs and bone, as well as - most recently - the amount of protection offered by different types of clothing.
Although a plethora of research exists into the damage that can be caused by handguns, the main source of data that was available on air weapons prior to Dr Wightman’s research came from the field of medicine when victims presented at hospital with severe injuries or as fatalities.
Although air weapon offences - along with other firearms offences - are declining, there were 10 deaths from air weapons in the UK in the decade 2000-2010 and 43 offences in Scotland last year where an air weapon was alleged to have been fired causing injury.
Speaking ahead of the round table discussion that will take place on Wednesday, Dr Wightman said:
"Although many air guns owners - such as gun club members - use air weapons responsibly, it is unfortunately the case that some people assume air weapons are relatively safe because no licence is required.
"The Air Weapons and Licensing (Scotland) Bill currently being scrutinised by the Scottish Parliament will both control ownership of air weapons and - I hope - raise public awareness that these weapons are not toys and have the potential to cause serious injury."

CZ75D PCR Compact Very Happy CustomerJohn Wade - Mar 07 2015, 18:14 PM
"My order for a CZ75D PCR Compact was received and processed by Damascus Gun Shop on Wed . The weapon was shipped on Thurs to my local FFL and I picked it up on Sat ! Not only was the price the lowest I found anyway , Damascus Gun Shop's customer service and ship time is second to none . My CZ75 arrived in excellent condition . I will definitely be a return customer for my next CZ pistol purchase . John W "
Top tier!!!Johnny Thompson - Apr 28 2014, 15:29 PM
"I own several CZ's and the PCR is probably the best all around one that I have. Every since I found out about CZ about 10 years ago everything else seams like a waste of money now. CZ's and particularly the PCR is the best bang for your buck as far as reliability, customer services, fit and finish... thank you Damascus for being a first rate shop dealing in only first rate firearms."
Excellent gun, excellent serviceAlex - Dec 07 2013, 11:51 AM
"I ordered my PCR awhile ago from DGS and service was quick, friendly, and responsive. Since then I've put through 100 rounds with no problems and plan to go shooting a lot more very soon. DA pull is heavy, but SA is excellent. Ergonomics are perfect, takedown is simple, and the gun is just all around fantastic. You can't go wrong with it!"
Love my PCR... Great buying experience DamascusKevin C - Nov 14 2013, 00:45 AM
"Before purchasing this pistol, I've already have CZ75B stainless and SP01 shadow TGT. I was debating whether to get upgrade pistol from Ghost Custom shop as I was in Mesa, AZ. I am glad that I didn't spend the extra money because the trigger was awesome from factory. I've read other forums that said it was gritty, well not mine. Double action was heavier but that's expected for carry gun. Single action is very smooth and no creep. Very predictable each pull. Love the pistol and lots of fun to shoot. All my CZ shoot well and no plans to do any further upgrades. Get it from Damascus, they are #1 in hassle free transaction and lead time is 3-4 days to FFL. "
Awesome PistolWilliam P. - Jul 14 2013, 09:17 AM
"I received my PCR on 7/13/13 and immediately went home and cleaned and oiled it and went to the range. I shot 50 rds through it without any problems, and it was very accurate and easy to hold on target. I have a P01 also, and they are quite similar, both are at the top of the food chain when it comes to 9mm handguns. If you are considering one of these little beauties, don't hesitate! They are hard to find and they will just get harder to find when people find out how good they are!!! The loaded round indicator and the serations on the trigger are nice add ons to this gun."Write a review | weapons_science |

Gen. Charles Q. Brown Jr., chief of staff of the U.S. Air Force, told the newspaper that “discussions are ongoing” to send the fighters to Ukraine. Speaking at the Aspen Security Conference, Brown was asked, “[i]s it possible the U.S could sell or provide Ukraine more U.S fighter platforms?”
To this, Brown replied, “[i]t'll be something non-Russian, I could probably tell you that.”
By “non-Russian,” Brown was referring to an earlier proposal by Poland to send Soviet-made MiG fighters to Ukraine which was rejected by the Biden administration on the grounds that it was too likely to escalate the war.
At the time, Biden declared that the move could start “World War III,” saying, “The idea that we’re going to send in offensive equipment and have planes and tanks and trains going in with American pilots and American crews — just understand, don’t kid yourself, no matter what y’all say, that’s called World War III.”
Brown’s proposal is, however, a far more provocative move than the earlier plan to send aging and semi-obsolete Soviet aircraft.
His comments came the same day that the Pentagon announced that it would send four more HIMARS long-range missile systems to Ukraine, bringing the total deployed in the country to 16.
“(We) will keep finding innovative ways to sustain our long-term support for the brave men and women of the Ukrainian armed forces, and we will tailor our assistance to ensure that Ukraine has the technology, the ammunition and the sheer firepower to defend itself,” US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin said Wednesday.
“Ukrainian forces are now using long-range rocket systems to great effect, including HIMARS provided by the United States and other systems from our allies and partners,” Austin said, adding, “[t]he international community has also worked hard to provide Ukraine with better coastal defense capabilities.”
Ukrainian and US officials are more and more openly discussing the details of a plan to amass an enormous stockpile of high-end US weapons systems, allowing Kiev to stage a major counteroffensive in the fall with the aim of sinking the Russian fleet and “retaking” the Crimean Peninsula in the Black Sea, which Russia annexed in the wake of the 2014 coup in Kiev.
During a visit to the UK, Ukraine’s Deputy Defense Minister Volodymyr Havrylov pledged to use US-supplied heavy weapons to mount an offensive against Crimea. “We are receiving anti-ship capabilities, and sooner or later we will target the fleet. It is inevitable because we have to guarantee the security of our people,” he said. “Russia will have to leave Crimea if they wish to exist as a country,” Havrylov insisted.
On Saturday, Ukrainian military intelligence official Vadym Skibitsky said that Ukraine would use HIMARS missile systems to attack targets in Crimea, which he said “had to be destroyed for the safety of our citizens, our facilities and our Ukraine.”
The increasingly open talk of a Ukrainian offensive to retake Crimea has prompted extremely sharp warnings from Russian officials.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said that Washington was seeking to provoke a “real war” with Russia, stating, “Our American counterparts … really want to turn this war into a real war and start a confrontation between Russia and European states.”
He warned, “[Ukraine is] not just [being] pumped with weapons. They are forced to use these weapons in an increasingly risky way.”
On Sunday, the former Russian president and deputy chairman of Russia’s Security Council Dmitry Medvedev said that an attack on Crimea would pose a “systemic threat to Russia,” prompting a “Judgment Day” response from Russia.
In the event of a Ukrainian effort to retake Crimea, “Judgment Day will come very fast and hard,” Medvedev said.
Geopolitical commentators have warned that Russia views the defense of Crimea as a vital state interest and would use nuclear weapons to protect the territory.
Inviting US arms manufacturers to take part in this joint effort by the United States and the Kiev regime, Ukrainian Defense Minister Oleksii Reznikov openly declared Wednesday that the country should be viewed as a “testing ground” for US defense contractors.
“We are inviting arms manufacturers to test new products here,” he said.
The enormously dangerous escalation of the war comes as the energy crisis triggered by the conflict is having increasingly devastating consequences for the population of Europe and the whole world. “We have to prepare for a potential full disruption of Russian gas,” European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said Wednesday, calling this “a likely scenario.”
On Wednesday, the EU rolled out a plan for its member states to begin rationing energy supplies, in preparation for a full shutoff of gas supplies over the winter. That same day, the IMF warned that a total shutdown of Russian gas supplies could shrink the economies of some EU member states by 6 percent and send them into recession.
The revelation that the US plans to send NATO-made aircraft to Ukraine comes just two weeks after New York City’s Office of Emergency Management (OEM) released a 90-second public service announcement (PSA), giving instructions to city residents on what to do in the event of a nuclear attack on America’s largest city.
The video begins with the narration, “So there has been a nuclear attack. Don’t ask me how or why, just know that the big one has hit.”
The extraordinary recklessness with which the United States is escalating its war with Russia raises the very real danger of just such a disastrous outcome. | weapons_science |

This is the biggest mod that adds swords in Minecraft, once you installed it you will have millions of possibilities to craft your favorite sword. Also this mod works on the basics of schematic system, this is a major thing because it will not require you to use a lot of recipes for each individual sword that could be crafted, this will save you a lot of time and it is more efficiently.
One great thing about Custom Sword Mod is that all the special boss and minions can be summoned by any player that figure out and builds a correct structure in order to use this great feature. In some cases this may be funny because it may spawn near you an entire dungeon with tons of samurai skeleton mobs and other boss monsters like Shogun Skeleton.
Each mob has its own unique weapon that is randomly generated from one of these over 1 bilion of swords that this mod adds.

This guide focuses on the Elden Ring sword and shields build, a versatile, resilient setup that lets you dish out substantial damage while maintaining a strong defense. We’ve scoured the best resources and compiled expert advice to create a comprehensive guide that leaves no stone unturned.
Understanding the Elden Ring Sword and Shield Build
Before diving into the specifics, it’s crucial to understand the basics of the sword and shield built in Elden Ring. This build, often favored by beginners and veterans alike, strikes a balance between offense and defense. By wielding a sword and shield, your character can block enemy attacks effectively while simultaneously maintaining the ability to strike back.
Essential Stats for Sword and Shield Build
When it comes to building your character, certain stats take precedence. For a sword and shield build, the focus should be on Strength, Dexterity, Vigor, and Endurance.
Strength and Dexterity
Strength and Dexterity are the main stats required to equip various swords and shields. Initially, you should aim to have enough of these stats to wield your chosen weapons.
Vigor and Endurance
Vigor increases your health pool, which is essential for survival. Endurance, on the other hand, boosts your stamina, allowing you to perform more actions like attacking, blocking, and rolling before needing to rest.
Choosing the Right Sword and Shield
Your choice of sword and shield significantly impact your combat efficiency. There’s no one-size-fits-all solution here – your selection should align with your playstyle and the enemies you’ll face.
Choosing the Sword
In Elden Ring, a multitude of swords cater to different playstyles. For a balanced approach, the starter sword with a good Ash of War makes for a solid choice.
Choosing the Shield
When it comes to shields, the guard stat is crucial. A shield with a higher guard stat consumes less stamina when blocking attacks. Early on, the Brass Shield, Jellyfish Shield, or Turtle Shield are excellent options due to their decent blocking stats and relative ease of acquisition.
Mastering Sword and Shield Combat
Once you’ve decided on your equipment and started boosting the right stats, it’s time to hone your combat skills. Remember, even the best gear and stats won’t save you if you’re not adept at combat.
Blocking and Stamina Management
Blocking is a vital part of the sword and shield build, but it should be used strategically. Keep in mind that your stamina regenerates slower when your shield is raised. Therefore, lowering your shield
Best Armor for Elden Ring Sword and Shield Build
In Elden Ring, your choice of armor is as important as your weapons. When choosing the best armor for a sword and shield build, consider two key factors: weight and damage reduction. You want to balance these elements to maintain agility without sacrificing too much defense.
The Wolf Knight Set or the Banished Knight Set are good options for their balance between weight and protection. You can find these sets in the game by exploring or defeating specific bosses.
Elden Ring Samurai Build: Starting Out
If you’re looking to start your Elden Ring journey with a sword and shield build, the Samurai class is a fantastic choice. With a focus on precision and agility, the Samurai class is equipped with a Katana, a weapon that rewards skillful play.
Initially, you’ll want to concentrate on increasing your strength and dexterity to meet the minimum requirements for your chosen weapon and shield. After meeting these, focus on increasing your vigor and endurance.
Best Stats for Sword and Shield Builds
Building your character stats correctly is crucial for a sword and shield build in Elden Ring. Generally, strength and dexterity are the main stats you’ll want to invest in for a sword and shield build, along with vigor and endurance.
Strength: Enhances damage output for strength-scaling weapons and allows you to equip heavier weapons and shields.
Dexterity: Increases damage for dexterity-scaling weapons and reduces the time taken to cast spells.
Vigor: Raises your maximum health, which is vital for survival.
Endurance: Increases your stamina, allowing you to attack, block, and dodge more frequently.
Best Skills for Sword and Shield Builds
Skills in Elden Ring are weapon abilities that consume FP (Focus Points). For a sword and shield build, you’ll want to consider skills that enhance your defensive capabilities or offer new offensive opportunities.
The “Shield Bash” skill, for instance, is an excellent choice. It allows you to bash enemies with your shield, dealing damage and potentially staggering them, opening up opportunities for further attacks.
Leveling the Samurai Build in Elden Ring
When leveling a Samurai build in Elden Ring, focus on the following stats: strength, dexterity, vigor, and endurance. Initially, invest in strength and dexterity to meet the requirements of your desired weapons. Then, pour points into vigor for more health and endurance for increased stamina.
Building a successful sword and shield character in Elden Ring requires a strategic selection of class, equipment, stats, and skills. The Samurai class offers an excellent starting point, and equipping balanced armor such as the Wolf Knight Set or the Banished Knight Set can provide the necessary protection. Remember to invest in strength, dexterity, vigor, and endurance when leveling up, and select skills that complement your defensive playstyle, such as Shield Bash. With these tips, you can construct a powerful, balanced sword and shield character for your Elden Ring adventure.

Under the supervision of our team leader Dick Moran, a team of volunteers have been hard at work over the winter and spring. One of the major efforts has been reconfiguring the engine compartment and transmission back to original WWII standards with a Ford GAA V-8 engine as this particular M36 was one of 399 purchased by Yugoslavia and re-engined with a 500-hp Soviet diesel engine used in the T-55. The reconfiguration process has been extensive, but once complete, the M36 will operate like it did in WWII with a freshly overhauled GAA engine.
The M36 was completely stripped over the winter and was fully sandblasted inside and out in February and March and has been primed for paint. Interior components are being reinstalled after restoration and repaint and the Jackson is well on its way to completion! See the in-progress photos in the gallery below and click on an image for a full-size image.
M36 Jackson Restoration – April 2023
Official Unveiling on Tank Demo Weekend, May 27-28!
We are planning an official unveiling at our Tank Demonstration Weekend scheduled for Memorial Day Weekend, May 27-28, 2023 at the American Heritage Museum in Hudson, MA. If you want to see this awesome tank destroyer in action that weekend, get your tickets at this link!

Click here to learn more and purchase your certificate online! By pre-purchasing your ride, you’ll help fund the final month of restoration on the tank to get it ready to roll on May 27!
A Short History of the M36 Jackson
The M36 Jackson was a highly effective tank destroyer used by the United States during World War II. It was designed to counter the German Panther and Tiger tanks, which had proven to be formidable opponents for the earlier American tanks.
The M36 combined the hull of the M10 tank destroyer, which used the M4 Sherman’s reliable chassis and drivetrain combined with sloped armor, and a new turret with a powerful 90mm gun, which was capable of penetrating the armor of the German tanks from a long range. The vehicle had a relatively low profile, which made it harder for the enemy to spot and target it. It also had a top speed of 45 mph, which allowed it to quickly move to strategic positions on the battlefield.
The M36 saw action in various theaters of the war, including in Europe and the Pacific. It proved to be a valuable asset to the American military, often being used in combination with other vehicles such as the M4 Sherman tank.
After the war, the M36 continued to be used by the United States in the Korean War and as an export to other nations, even being re-engined by Yugoslavia with a 500 hp Soviet-made diesel engine used in T-55. Today, the M36 Jackson is a rare sight with only a few preserved in museums and private collections.

The United States abandoned a nuclear weapon beneath the ice in northern Greenland following a crash in 1968, a BBC investigation has found.
Its unique vantage point – perched at the top of the world – has meant that Thule Air Base has been of immense strategic importance to the US since it was built in the early 1950s, allowing a radar to scan the skies for missiles coming over the North Pole.
The Pentagon believed the Soviet Union would take out the base as a prelude to a nuclear strike against the US and so in 1960 began flying “Chrome Dome” missions. Nuclear-armed B52 bombers continuously circled over Thule – and could head straight to Moscow if they witnessed its destruction.
Greenland is a self-governing province of Denmark but the carrying of nuclear weapons over Danish territory was kept secret.
But on 21 January 1968, one of those missions went wrong.
In the aftermath, military personnel, local Greenlanders and Danish workers rushed to the scene to help.
Eventually, a remarkable operation would unfold over the coming months to recover thousands of tiny pieces of debris scattered across the frozen bay, as well as to collect some 500 million gallons of ice, some of it containing radioactive debris.
The documents make clear that within weeks of the incident, investigators piecing together the fragments realised that only three of the weapons could be accounted for.
Even by the end of January, one document talks of a blackened section of ice which had re-frozen with shroud lines from a weapon parachute. “Speculate something melted through ice such as burning primary or secondary,” the document reads, the primary or secondary referring to parts of the weapon.
By April, a decision had been taken to send a Star III submarine to the base to look for the lost bomb, which had the serial number 78252. (A similar submarine search off the coast of Spain two years earlier had led to another weapon being recovered.)
But the real purpose of this search was deliberately hidden from Danish officials.
One document from July reads: “Fact that this operation includes search for object or missing weapon part is to be treated as confidential NOFORN”, the last word meaning not to be disclosed to any foreign country.
“For discussion with Danes, this operation should be referred to as a survey repeat survey of bottom under impact point,” it continued. | weapons_science |

There are two kinds of weapons: melee and distance.
Melee[edit | edit source]
Some melee weapons come with a inherent hit rate bonus; mostly swords and spears. It's exact values aren't visible for players inside the game. Algthough it is noticeable that some weapons make dwarfs hit faster than others. A great example of this disparity is the Mithril Sword with a speed bonus of +200% and the Mithril Hammer with no bonus at all.
Distance[edit | edit source]
Bows and Firearms[edit | edit source]
|Frostling Bow||25||50%||3||Drop (Frostling)||Snow World|
|High-Powered Rifle||50||60%||5||Crafting||Underground World|
Ammunition[edit | edit source]
Dwarfs can use different kinds of arrows and bullets with their bows and guns. They will automatically use the most effective one available but it is possible to disable a kind in the "Equip" window (each dwarf has to be managed separately).
Staffs[edit | edit source]
|Mithril Wizard's Staff||30||6||3||Crafting||All|

I'm gonna get into the details of this whole incomprehensible situation later, but I wanna put this out there first. Michael Oliver, pictured above, fired 31 shots. That means he emptied his clip, dropped the magazine, loaded another clip and emptied that full clip too!! Is that not enough time to figure out that no one is shooting at you? Heres the reenactment that was used in the trial. A jury would have convicted these cops for something, thats why they opted not to have one. I literally was screaming at my screen when I watched this: "THIS IS FUCKING CRAZY!!!"
Answer one question after watching this. Between the first shot and the last, was there a chance to realize that NOBODY IS SHOOTING BACK?
Update added on April 29:
This is what the man in the above video testified to in court. "My finger was getting worn out," said Alexander Jason, who was put on the stand to counter accusations the cops were trigger-happy. "It took a lot of effort to pull that trigger."
Jason, who tested the weapons that killed Bell, said triggers on NYPD weapons are calibrated to make them harder to pull - and thus avoid accidentally spraying dozens of bullets at a target.
"Each time you fired your weapon, you had to do so of your own volition?" prosecutor Peter Reese asked. "You had to squeeze a trigger each time."
"The gun performance doesn't change," Jason answered. "But my finger performance was changing." | weapons_science |

Concepts such as what you’re promoting are akin to the military 25/300 zeros that allow for a person to miss head shots as close as 100 yards because of the higher allowed maximum ordinate.

He trained DOD personnel in Combat Marksmanship, Close Quarters Battle, Breaching and Sniper/Observer Operations in addition to deployments to Afghanistan and Iraq. Comparing Figures 5 and 7 you can see why range estimation with a hunting rifle is much less critical. For most center fire rifles in a hunting role you want to ZERO the rifle at 200 yards. Feb 14, 2020 #2 R. Rmauch20 Senior Member. Now, since we're converting from a 100 -yard zero trajectory to a 200-yard zero trajectory, we begin by looking at how much we must adjust to rezero to the new distance. THE 200-YARD ZERO Sighting in your high-power deer rifle at 100 yards is a waste of a perfectly good flat trajectory. It is still just 1 MOA. That means having it hit 1.75 to 2.0 inches high at 100 yards. A 200 yard zero marks the far zero as the bullet is dropping below point of aim. This is still very close. According to remingtons ballistic charts for the bullet you specified, if it's zeroed at 200 yards, dropping down to 100 yards you're anywhere from 1.7-2.1 inches high, dropping back another 50 yards won't increase your compensation by much at all. The_Next_Generation Member. The 50/200 zero variations and the 100 yard zero work well because they have been tested and had various bugs worked out. In the recent carbine courses we have discussed various yard lines to zero your rifles along with the pros and cons of each yard line. That said, I (and this is personal) have found it easier to use a 200 yard zero for my hunting rifles. That is from 50 to 150 yards you will shoot slightly high. This places that same .270 bullet 0.4 inches low at 25 yards, 1.41 inches high at 100 yards, 2.51 inches low at 250 yards and finally slips below the 6 inch vital zone at 257 yards. I suggest you zero at 100. Where should I sight I'm my rifle at 25 yards to obtain a 200 yard zero? Will a rifle sighted for 50 yards (ascending bullet) really be on target for 200 as the bullet descends? For competition, I generally use a 100 yard zero, mostly due to habit, convenience, and my drops are memorized. The actual erector assembly is in the same place thus travel is the same. Note, the left target is also available as a “Powerpoint” file you can display and edit with MS Office. A 30 yard uncertainty in range estimation has almost no effect, at least within 300 yards. The 36 Yard Zero Target. Meet Frank Proctor … Frank spent his last 11 years in the military n US Army Special Forces. It is a clean design that is easy to see even at 200 yards with a 20x scope. There is only one drawback to having the 17 HMR we have been discussing zeroed at 25 yards. I have standardized my bolt-action testing a bit, testing more .223 Remington and .270 Winchester rifles than anything else. My normal process is to shoot at 50, 100, then move to 200 but my 100 yard range is closed and I don’t want to go to the range and start slinging ammo just wasting it. Now, move the paper targets to 200 yards and repeat the whole process. If 1 MOA is 1″ at 100 yards, how many MOA is 2″ at 200 yards? The trajectory of my .30-06 load will put a 165gr pill in a 16" circle out to 348 yards. Actually, MRT occurs a little beyond the half-way point – like around 115 for the 200-yard zero, and 170 yards for the 300-yard zero. Bullet Diameter: Caliber: Cartridge / Bullet Bullet Manufacturer: Bullet Description Muzzle Velocity (fps) 5 0.172 .17 HMR Cartridge Berger .172 dia. If you could provide the manufacturer of the ammunition you are using that would be very helpful. With a 200 yard zero, the bullet drop at 300 yards is only 6.8 inches. With a zero of 100 yards the .223/5.56 round will impact approx 3/4″ low at 50 yards and around 2.25″ low at 200 yards. Start with it truly zeroed and then dial from there. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk . I'd say you aren't getting close to the factory stated velocity. How to zero for 50 and 200 yards with Frank Proctor. Joined: Sep 27, 2011 Messages: 917 Location: USA. At 200 yards it’s only dropped around 10 inches. I have heard a lot about using a 50-200 yard zero, but would like to know how well it really works. Reactions: bradb, Gunnersdad49 and General RE LEE. I generally like to use a 200 yard zero for my hunting rifles so I can maximize my range in one turret revolution. Are there any good guides as to how to compensate for crosswinds? Other riflemen who routinely hunt areas where shots of 300 yards or more aren’t uncommon sometimes opt for a 200-yard zero. The 50/200 and similar type zeroes are a myth. What if you zero your gun at 250 yard? If it makes a difference, the bullet weight is 95gr. A Note On Windage A 20-yard zero will see the bullet climb through point-of-aim at 20 yards and not drop back through until approximately 62 yards, during which time the bullet will only climb to a maximum of .56″ at 40 yards. A 200 or 300 yard zero will include adjustment for drop, environmental conditions, as well as a correction for any wind. inches to zero at 200 yards. TBRW - 200 Yard Zero TBRW Group. With a 6.5 Creedmor, in PRS matches out to 1000 yards I don't even spin the dial one whole revolution with a 100 yard zero. If 200 yards is a long shot for you then the 100 yard zero would probably be best for you and just aim straight on all the time. A 200-yard zero puts its 140-grain bullet only 1½ inches over sightline at l00. This makes for a simple and quick correction in the scope not requiring holdover in an imaginary space above the back of the animal. The following is a 1000 yard 30-06 ballistic charting of a Remington 30-06 Springfield 165 Grain AccuTip Boat Tail with a BC (Ballistic Coeficient) of .447 that was created using our free online ballistic calculator and details the trajectory of the bullets flight from the millisecond it leaves the barrel until the time it reaches the 1,000 yd mark. It is important to realize that with a .308 rifle, 200-300 yards is a good shooting distance. It’s taking people backwards. Drawbacks to a 25 yard zero. It says that at around the halfway point of 250 yards the bullet will have slowed 580fps to a velocity of 2520fps, lost 688 ft pounds of energy (now pushing just 1339 lbs), and dropped due to gravitational forces just 5.9833 inches, and all of this in just a fraction of a second (.269 of a second). How Far Can A 12 Gauge Slug Shoot. Adjust the scope so the rifle shoots three inches high at l00, and you’ll reach 300 yards with a mere one inch of drop! Many factors will influence your own results. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk . 165 grain accubonds, not sure of velocity I don’t have a chrono. For you folks that dial for distance on your hunting rigs, do you Zero your rifles for 100 or 200 yards? The trajectory path at 50 yards is 1.2 inches high, at 100 yards the bullet is 2.9 inches high, at 200 yards 2.3 inches high and at 300 yards the bullet only drops 3.8 inches. maybe a 1/2 inch tops. However, assuming you are shooting Remington 95gr Accutip @ … Set targets out to 200 yards. All your load data fits neatly in the boxes under each target. Joined Feb 3, 2011 Messages 12,075 Location N. Texas and S. Africa. The only difference betweel a 100 yard zero at 1000 yards and a 200 yard zero at 1000 yards is where the outer knob is sitting. Also, 100 yards is short enough distance where wind is not a major factor. Ballistics charts are all very well, but there’s nothing like practical experience in the matter. Joined Jan 15, 2017 Messages 336 Location Salina, KS. Now you must do some fancy calculating. A 12 gauge slug is still traveling at around 1000 ft/s after 100 yards and won’t drop until the 130 yard mark. (17 Cal) 37 gr. The ballistic compensation works out to provide a 50/200 yard zero.

Weapons designed to devastate cities, to annihilate armies, and to vaporize populations. Nuclear weapons are things that we tend to think of in the abstract. We tend to think that only politicians or governments can do anything about them. Nuclear weapons disempower us. But, we can actually do something.
|Date||6 November 2019|
Susi Snyder, one of the leaders of the 2017 Nobel Peace Prize-winning International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons (ICAN) brings hope back to what seems like a hopeless conversation on nuclear weapons. She will speak about the power of bringing democracy back to disarmament and how every single person can do something impactful to bring an end to the threat of nuclear weapons.

US-Noko Summit II a farce; Jong-un Kim will never dismantle his nukes; ‘trump card’ to prevent assassination, regime change
Jong-un Kim will never de-nuclearize! He will never dismantle his nuclear arsenal. That’s his only “trump card” (no pun intended) to prevent his assassination and regime change.
This second US-Noko De-Nuke Summit was a farce — a photo-op for Trump that blew up in his face. This is precisely why America critically needs an intelligent, sane and rational president. Not a narcissistic fool who courts despots and employs “reality TV” diplomacy.
The only sane agreement is Mutual De-Nuclearization for the whole world versus Mutual Assured Destruction (M.A.D. theory). The nukes today are 30,000 times more powerful than the weapons detonated over Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan.
Imagine 30,000 Hiroshima bombs exploding simultaneously in one single blast? The US Poseidon nuclear submarine fleet alone possesses 1,296 such warheads. That doesn’t include the balance of nukes like cruise missiles deployed in other US naval warships – destroyers, cruisers, frigates; the weapons deliverable by supersonic jet aircraft aboard 12 nuclear-powered aircraft carriers, not to mention all of the other nuclear weapons available to the Air Force, and the tactical battlefield nukes stockpiled by the Army and Marine Corps.
The aforementioned is the US arsenal. It doesn’t include the nuclear caches of Russia, China, the UK, France, Israel, Pakistan, India, and North Korea.
Mankind insanely devised doomsday weaponry capable of terminating human existence.
President Trump is naive enough to think the US could win a nuclear war — that we could annihilate North Korea in a preemptive or counter-attack without luring China into the fray. He does not understand that any nation nuking another in today’s nuclear-armed world will incite a domino effect.
An all-out nuclear exchange is why the theory is termed M.A.D. because the community of nations would self-destruct. No one wins. The world loses.
That’s unimaginable. That’s Armageddon! | weapons_science |
https://mixmatravel.com/chinas-smart-shell-can-travel-at-mach-7-hit-target-with-precision-report/ | 2024-04-18T19:50:17 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817239.30/warc/CC-MAIN-20240418191007-20240418221007-00061.warc.gz | 0.946572 | 470 | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | webtext-fineweb__CC-MAIN-2024-18__0__97888226 | en | Chinese military scientists have developed a so-called ‘smart shell’ that is capable of delivering a precision strike to a target at hypersonic speed. According to South China Morning Post (SCMP), the shell is propelled by an electromagnetic gun and can reach a staggering speed of Mach 7 (seven times the speed of sound). But even at such a high speed, it can receive stable signal from the satellite and continuously adjust its flight path, with a margin of error of less than 15 metres.
Its precision-strike capabilities may make it insufficient to attack smaller mobile objects like tanks, but it would theoretically be ideal for larger, static targets such as warships, or ports.
SCMP said the shell is the realisation of a US military concept that it proposed in 2012. The US had planned to test such a shell within five years (by 2017), but that deadline passed without any concrete result. The US military abandoned the research and development of the weapons system by 2021, the outlet further said.
The shell can travel 2,500 metres or around 8,200 feet in one second.
The Chinese team that developed the Mach 7 shell said they received no support from the western scientists.
“We had no guidance, not even a cursory introduction to guided missile navigation systems, especially the satellite navigation component,” Feng Junhing of China’s Naval University of Engineering wrote in an engineering journal in November, as per the SCMP report.
The weapon and its launching system could prove to be a game-changer on the battlefield as they can not only reduce cost, but also maintain long-range and precision capabilities of missiles.
During launch, though, the shells generate a significant electromagnetic field, which can damage electronic components such as microchips or antennae, with concerns about its own satellite navigation.
The issue has vexed scientists and engineers across the world, but Chinese scientists claim they bypassed this problem by developing an antenna that can withstand electromagnetic signals, while also maintaining precise satellite navigation.
Another issue is that of heat generation. St such high speed, the shell will generate intense heat due to friction. But the Chinese scientists said they used cost-effective and mass-produced aerogel as thermal barrier.
The scientists are yet to test the shell in actual combat scenario. | weapons_science |
