It has to do with weak powder and great bullet weight.
The Civil War Springfield rifle fired its ponderous bullet at about 950 feet per second. By contrast, today’s far lighter military bullets zip down range at anywhere from 2,500 to 3,100 feet per second because today’s powders are so much more powerful.
In layman’s terms, modern rifles are relatively flat shooting compared to the underpowered Civil War Enfield and Springfield rifles which tossed their bullets in a pronounced arc. But that oversimplifies the case. No rifle is truly flat shooting. Gravity drags a bullet in a downward arc the instant it departs the muzzle. Thus rifle sights – today as in the 1860s — are set so that the barrel actually points above the point of aim.
But the trajectory with which light M-16 or AK-47 bullets scorch downrange is flat compared to the looping parabola described by the heavy-weight Minie ball driven by black powder. Thus, Civil War sights were set dramatically higher than today’s M-16 or AK-47.
If, therefore, you were using the 100-yard sight of your Enfield or Springfield, you’d be on target if your opponent were 100 yards away. But if he were at the very common combat distance of 50 or 75 yards, your shot would arc well above him and land in the bushes 50 to 25 yards to his rear. Thus in close combat, sergeants and corporals constantly were shouting for their riflemen to aim low, “Point at his knees, young trooper, and you’ll hit him in the chest!”
In technical terms, the so-called Minie Ball generally weighed about 500 grains, or 1.1 ounce whereas today’s AK-47 bullet weighs 115 grains, about three-tenths of an ounce, the 50-grain M-16 rifle, one-tenth ounce.
The photos show ammunition of the 1860s with its paper cartridge and 60 grains of black powder compared with today’s AK-47 cartridge with, depending up type, 15 to 20 grains of smokeless powder.
The Minie Ball That Wasn’t
Let’s clear up confusion that began in the 1830’s. Prior to that, firearms – whether Kentucky/Pennsylvania rifles, or smoothbore Brown Bess muskets, or British Baker rifles or Hawken hunting rifles – all fired a lead sphere, a ball.
Loading a smoothbore musket was pretty simple and fairly fast because the ball was smaller than the barrel. But that size disparity dictated that the missile was slow, its range short and accuracy poor.
A rifle was far more accurate, but loading it was slow. It was necessary to carefully wrap the ball in a heavy leather or cloth patch which made it a tight fit in the barrel. The patch fairly effectively sealed the powder’s expanding gasses behind the ball, imparting greater velocity. The patch also engaged the barrel’s rifling grooves, causing the ball to spin in its flight, giving it much greater accuracy than the wobbly trajectory of a musket ball.
Bottom line — smoothbore muskets gave a high rate of inaccurate fire while rifled muskets gave a slow rate of fairly accurate fire.
In 1832 a French Army captain, Claude-Etienne Minie (pronounced Meen-yay), perfected a way to combine fast musket loading with rifle accuracy. He developed a lead bullet with a cone-shaped nose and hollow base (see top photo). It was smaller than the rifle’s bore. But when the powder fired, its gasses drove the skirts of the bullet’s hollow base outward to grip the rifling, imparting the spin so important to accuracy.
The U.S. Army adopted Minie’s bullet in the 1840s so, for the first time in history, American soldiers were firing a bullet rather than a ball.
But Washington persisted in calling Minie’s bullet a ball. To add insult to injury, they also mispronounced his name, calling it a Minny Ball . . . this even after Minie (by then a retired colonel) came to work as a consultant with the Remington Arms Co. before and during the Civil War.
So the Minie ball was no ball at all.
Yet the military clung to the term Ball Ammunition even after 1863, when the Army phased out the last ball-firing weapons. And exactly a century later when I enlisted, U.S. Army rifle range instructors still ordered us, “Lock and load one round of ball ammunition.”
The bullets sure looked pointed to me, but it’s an unwise recruit who corrects a sergeant, so the nomenclature hangs on. | weapons_science |

This guide can help.
These are the first ability you can choose when your copter reaches level 20 – let’s have a look at the choice.
It throws an explosive and damaging grenade at your enemy.
This is a good offensive weapon. If your enemy gets caught by the grenade, it can take away at least half of their health and place you in an advantageous position.
However, since there is a time lag between you throwing the grenade and it exploding, most of the time your enemy can escape from the grenade if your planning is worse. So this ability needs some skills.
It can teleport you – yes that’s all.
This allows you to surprise an enemy and get near them, so you can shoot them dead easily.
Best paired with Melee Storm (Ability Tier 2).
It blinks all nearby players for about 4 seconds, they will fail to see anything during this time.
In my opinion, this ability is the best among all 5 abilities.
When you blink an enemy, they can’t see where you are and can’t shoot you accurately. You will be quite immune to their bullets then.
If you are in low health, activating a flashbang can bring your enemies a few seconds of confusion which can probably allow you to escape from dangerous situations.
It is good for both newbies and pros. It doesn’t require any skills, you just activate it and all the nearby players will be blinked instantly. Pros can use this ability to gain more kills when others are confounded by your flashbang.
It will clear all the bullets floating around you.
Pretty useful in long-distance fights. It takes some time for the new bullet shot by your enemies to reach you again, which gives you a short period of total safety, This short interval can allow you to escape, to fight back or to use any other abilites if you like without scared at being killed.
However, it is totally useless in short-distance fights.
This ability requires no skills, friendly for newbies!
It releases 3 small bombs which can deal moderate damage to your opponent.
It is a minor offensive ability which can cut down your enemy’s health a bit with a lower chances of failure, compared to explosive grenade.
You need skills for that because the time lag between you activating it and the bombs exploding is long. Predict where your enemy is going and activate it and you will be fine.
Bonus upgrades – Read Below
These are the second ability you can choose when your copter reaches level 40 – let’s have a look at the choice.
Similar to Explosive Grenade. However, the bomb only deteriorates when you make it do so, making it a good landmine.
I don’t recommend you to choose this ability. Who will be that foolish and get trapped when they see a bomb lying?
When anyone touches the storm which spawns as a ring around your copter, it deals damage to that player.
Best paired with teleport, also favors players with a high player speed (Skill #1).
Release a few explosive banana.
An enhanced version of explosive grenade though.
Release a straight beam of laser which can slowly drain other players’ health when they touch the laser beam.
A rather good ability that can deal some damage to your enemy instantly. However, he can just move away from the beam easily which makes the laser beam far from being a killer.
Similar to flashbang, players in the affected area will be blinded. The smoke stays for about 6-7 seconds.
Eh… Definitely not a good ability. However, if you are a flashbang user, a smoke grenade can act as a backup. Also, smoke Grenade reloads very fast, which makes it a rather versatile ability.
Bonus Upgrade – Read Below
Bonus Upgrade (Not recommended!)
You will get ~5 bonus upgrade points, which you can use it to upgrade your skills. (health, health regeneration, armor, bullet speed, firing rate, bullet size, bullet damage or movement speed)
Well, I highly don’t recommend you to choose it. You may get some advantages when farming, but it is never good when fighting an enemy. A few percent boast in your fire rate or your player speed done nothing to your enemy, you must use the abilities to fight and confound them.
Hmm… I can’t think of any good endings so I give you this –
Use bombs CAREFULLY!!!!!! | weapons_science |

Plutonium is a man-made element so carcinogenic that a dot-size particle can kill.
Mexico`s first nuclear power plant is built on a geologic fault near an active volcano, only 30 kilometres from the epicentre of a recent major earthquake. The United States has dumped thousands of barrels of nuclear waste into the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. Radiation levels around one dump site are 260,000 times the background level. U.S. authorities may have collaborated in the cover-up of a huge Soviet nuclear disaster in 1949, to shelter their own industry from informed debate about nuclear safety.
The Greenpeace Book of the Nuclear Age (McClelland & Stewart, 378 pages, $14.95 paper) is an international catalogue of such events, the fruit of formidable research. Disasters and nearmisses have been so abundant that some get only three lines. John May, the author, keeps his voice down and lets the accumulating horror of bare facts do the job. | weapons_science |

Later, many similar constructions were introduced that flew, swam and rode on the ground and were used typically for the transport of explosives to the destination and their activation. The first to use such means in real battle was Germany during World War II – for example, remote-controlled self-destruction mini tanks Goliath or flying bombs V-1, released mainly to target England.
Nowadays, different kinds of robotic devices are used primarily to survey enemy territory, but increasingly they are also equipped with weapons systems. Those enable, for example, for an unmanned aircraft to attack ground targets. Increasingly, ground robots are equipped with firearms, and robotic boats and submarines can perform the same tasks, too. Robots can also be used for radio retransmission, demining, carrying supplies and transportation of the injured to safety.
Compared with conventional battle means with human crew, advantages are lower weight, smaller size and the possibility of increased mechanical load. Destruction of the device does not mean loss of human lives, and if an unmanned machine falls into enemy hands, there is no danger of the mission objectives disclosure or blackmail by holding hostages.
Unmanned aerial vehicles are equipped with more and more sophisticated sensors and they are becoming more autonomous, which increases their resistance to the loss of connection with headquarters. Until now, mainly individually deployed robots have been used, but there is more and more talk about coordinated group of different types of such combat devices. In this sense, we can anticipate a complete robotic army in the future. This, however, raises number of ethical questions with respect to creators’ and operators’ degree of responsibility in general, in potential civilian losses and others. | weapons_science |

The military research agency’s algorithms took down an Air Force pilot in a virtual dogfight last year. In February, the Pentagon’s “mad science” unit tested how they’d perform as a team.
The battle pitted two friendly F-16s against a single enemy aircraft. Each fighter jet was equipped with a gun for short-range engagements and a missile for more distant targets.
Colonel Dan “Animal” Javorsek, program manager in DARPA’s Strategic Technology Office, said testing multiple weapons and aircraft introduced new dynamics to the trials:
These new engagements represent an important step in building trust in the algorithms since they allow us to assess how the AI agents handle clear avenue of fire restrictions set up to prevent fratricide. This is exceedingly important when operating with offensive weapons in a dynamic and confusing environment that includes a manned fighter and also affords the opportunity to increase the complexity and teaming associated with maneuvering two aircraft in relation to an adversary.
DARPA is also assessing how much pilots trust the systems. Javorsek said they’ve installed sensors in a jet to measure physiological responses, such as where a pilot’s head is pointing and where their eyes are moving:
This enables us to see how much the pilot is checking on the autonomy by looking outside the window, and comparing that to how much time they spend on their battle management task.
They now plan to test out AI on real-world aircraft. To do this, DARPA is creating an aero-performance model of an L-39 jet trainer, which the algorithm will use to make predictions and maneuver decisions.
Once the model is complete, the agency will begin modifying the aircraft so the algorithm can control it. The Pentagon plans to test them in live-fly dogfights in late 2023 and 2024.
Critics, however, have questioned the value of the trials. The rules-based nature of air-to-air combat is a good fit for algorithmic decisions and the “perfect information” supplied by the simulators isn’t available in the field.
Even if the AI worked equally well in reality, there’s been only one dogfight involving a US aircraft in the last 20 years.
A more pressing concern involves the rush to develop autonomous weapons. An AI arms race could encourage countries to cut corners on safety considerations, and even trigger an accidental war.

In 2007 MPs backed plans to renew Trident by 409 to 61 votes, but in 2010 the government chose to delay the ultimate decision on whether to proceed and how many submarines to order until later this year. The cost of renewing the programme is disputed, but will be at least £15-20 billion (see BBC).
The Scottish Nationalist Party (SNP) opposes renewing Trident.
Although it falls short of actually saying Trident should not be renewed, the Scottish bishops’ statement says Britain has an obligation under the 1968 Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty “to work toward the disposing and elimination of all nuclear weapons.”
Since 1969, a British submarine carrying nuclear weapons has been patrolling the seas, capable of launching a retaliatory strike on any aggressor. The Trident programme involves four submarines carrying up to eight Trident missiles. The idea is to deter a nuclear attack on the UK, because any aggressor knows that a nuclear attack on Britain, even if successful, would be followed by a retaliation.
This concept of “mutually assured destruction” was deplored by Pope Francis in his September 2015 address to the United Nations, when he called for a world free of nuclear weapons:
An ethics and a law based on the threat of mutual destruction – and possibly the destruction of all mankind – are self-contradictory and an affront to the entire framework of the United Nations, which would end up as “nations united by fear and distrust”. There is urgent need to work for a world free of nuclear weapons, in full application of the Non-Proliferation Treaty, in letter and spirit, with the goal of a complete prohibition of these weapons.
The Catholic bishops of England and Wales have not spoken directly in favour or against Trident, although their president, Cardinal Vincent Nichols, has said that “the technical strategic debate about nuclear proliferation and disarmament is critically important, but it must be guided by moral considerations.”
The Christian ecumenical peace group Pax Christi has produced a briefing paper on the issue.
Scottish bishops’ statement follows
The Bishops of Scotland have for a long time pointed out the immorality of the use of strategic nuclear weapons due to the indiscriminate destruction of innocent human life that their use would cause.
The renewal of Trident is questioned not just by those concerned with the morality of nuclear weapons themselves but also by those concerned about the use of scarce financial resources.
Lives are being lost now because money that could be spent on the needy and the poor is tied up in nuclear arsenals. We endorse the words of Pope Francis: “Spending on nuclear weapons squanders the wealth of nations”.
The United Kingdom, permanent member of the UN Security Council and declared nuclear power, signed the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty in 1968. That treaty binds signatories who do not have nuclear weapons not to acquire them, but it also binds those who do have nuclear weapons to work towards the disposing and elimination of all nuclear weapons. Britain should take more decisive and courageous steps to revive that aspect of the treaty and not seek to prolong the status quo.

The Campaign Against Killer Robots‘ terrifying new short film “Slaughterbots” predicts a new age of warfare and automated assassinations, if weapons that decide for themselves who to kill are not banned. The organisation hopes to pressure theUN to outlaw lethal robots under the Convention on Certain Conventional Weapons (CCW), which has previously banned antipersonnel landmines, cluster munitions and blinding lasers on the battlefield.
Some have suggested that the new film is scaremongering. But the technologies needed to build such autonomous weapons – intelligent targeting algorithms, geo-location, facial recognition – are already with us. Many existing lethal drone systems only operate in a semi-autonomous mode because of legal constraints and could do much more if allowed. It won’t take much to develop the technology so it has the capabilities shown in the film.
Perhaps the best way to see the film is less a realistic portrayal of how this technology will be used without a ban and more a wake-up call about how it could change conflicts. For some time to come, small arms and light weapons will remain the major instruments of political violence. But the film highlights how the intelligent targeting systems supposedly designed to minimise causalities could be used for a selective cull of an entire city. It’s easy to imagine how this might be put to use in a sectarian or ethnic conflict.
No international ban on inhumane weapons is absolutely watertight. The cluster munitions treaty has not prevented Russia from using them in Syria, or Saudi Arabia bombing Yemeni civilians with old British stock. But the landmine treaty has halved the estimated number of casualties – and even some of those states that have not ratified the ban, such as the US, now act as if they have. A ban on killer robots could have a similar effect.
Similarly, a ban might not remove all chance of terrorists using these weapons. The international arms market is too promiscuous. But it would remove potential stockpiles of killer robots by forcing governments to limit their manufacture.
Some have argued armed robotic systems might actually help reduce suffering in war since they don’t get tired, abuse captives, or act in self-defence or revenge. They believe that autonomous weapons could be programmed to uphold international law better than humans do.
But, as Prof Noel Sharkey of the International Campaign for Armed Robot Control points out, this view is based on the fantasy of robots being super smart terminators when today “they have the intelligence of a fridge”. While the technology to enable killer robots exists, without the technology to restrain them, a ban is our best hope of avoiding the kind of scenario shown in the film. | weapons_science |

The truth is Glock makes over 50 pistols in a wide range of styles, sizes and calibers, including a number that are for law enforcement only.
The Glock 26, a.k.a. the “Baby Glock” is one of the types of Glocks designed specifically for the concealed carry market. It is a 9mm and is designed to work with the Glock 17 and Glock 19 magazines, making it a great backup choice for those who carry the larger Glocks for open carry. The “Baby Glock” is touted as having great accuracy with minimal recoil and is similar in size to many of the small-frame revolvers on the market.
If you have bigger hands or just want a more substantial pistol than the Glock 26, the Glock 43X is another consumer favorite. It’s a slim, 10-round, short barrel 9mm that is relatively light and easy to carry concealed. The 43x is minimally wider than the Glock 43 and carries 4 extra rounds. These extra rounds account for the extended grip length, which means owners with larger hands can use the gun without the need for a pinky extension.
Glocks aren’t just for concealed carry. The Glock 20 is a 10mm hunting handgun that provides flexibility and reliability. The grip can be easily adjusted to accommodate different hand sizes and the reverse magazine catch makes it ideal for right and left-handed shooters. It can provide the finishing shot you need when hunting big game, and the safety you’re looking for in a sidearm.
There are many types of Glocks that meet a variety of needs, including law enforcement, military use, concealed carry, and hunting. Keeping your needs and lifestyle in mind will help you make an educated decision when looking for the best pistol for your own personal use. | weapons_science |

No, it's a late production Sherman with a 76mm gun with a muzzle brake. My roommate's late father was a gunner in the Sherman and he confirmed this and I also checked my references. The Firefly has a 90mm gun with a longer barrel and a much different turret but they based it on the late production welded hull Sherman.
Nope, a Firefly is a US made Sherman with a British 17 pounder anti-tank gun, which is 3 inches or just over 76mm. I'm not an expert, and it's hard to tell from this angle, but the Firefly gun is a bit longer and had more of a punch against armour. The gun mantles are similar and this could be either, there was a lot of mix n match going on during production, although all Fireflies had two hatches atop the turret (I can't tell from this angle). Most Fireflies had dazzle camouflage on the end of the barrel to disguise them since they could take out a Tiger or a Panther and the Germans began targeting them more aggressively. Did you notice if it had a rotary engine or a V8? To my knowledge non of the Fireflies got the Ford engines.
You're right about the Firefly. The barrel was substantially longer and they had an addition on the back of the turret to counterbalance the longer barrel. This is definitely an M4A3E8 with a 76mm with a muzzle brake. So far as I know, the Firefly was exclusive to the British armored forces. They did have a program to put a 90mm on the Sherman in the US, but it was canceled and then revived after the experiences with German armor. The introduction of the Pershing negated the need to add the 90mm to the Sherman.
Well there was the M36 tank hunter which was a 90mm on a Sherman chassis, and they produced around 1800 of those if I recall correctly. The main reason I doubted this is an A3E8 is because there is no bellows visible on the gun mantle, as there is on the image in David Porter's Essential Vehicle Identification Guide; a quick search of Wikipedia shows a picture of an M4A3E8 at the Patton Museum of Cavalry and Armor, Fort Knox, Kentucky, and it has the same mantle as this image, which leads me to believe that the bellows may have been removed on both, or there may have been two variants of the M4A3E8.
Not all of them had the bellows and it may have not been put on this example. There was only one factory variant of the M4A3E8, but there may have been plenty of field modifications. The bellows may have been removed in the field to ease maintenance and the fact that the canvas tended to rot in wet weather. The M36 was a tank destroyer, as they called them back then, but didn't have the heavier armor of the Sherman. The M36 was designed for "shoot and scoot" tactics. I've seen a lot of photos of the Sherman M4A3E8 without the bellows, which leads me to believe that the crews removed them in the field.
That would make sense. As to the M36, in your original comment you'd said something about a Sherman with a 90, a description which the M36 sort of fits.
What happened was there was a program started to upgun the Sherman early on but it was cancelled and then restarted after the invasion. It was strictly a test program. The M36 used the Sherman chassis, along with more than a few other adaptations, but was not a tank per se, rather a tank destroyer, which was designed to move in, destroy some tanks and then get out, since they didn't have the heavier armor plating. They were a stopgap measure until a tank that could go up against the Panthers was introduced, which was the Pershing, which was introduced late in the war but was very effective against the German armor.
It what events this taken? Is it in anniversary of World War II?
It was taken at the Mid-Atlantic Air Museum's World War 2 Weekend in 2000. It's an annual event. The museum is located at the regional airport in Reading, Pennsylvania.
Was this down Reading? I haven't seen a Sherman down there the last few years.
Yeah. It was at the WW 2 weekend they have there.
Oh I know, I go down every year. I just couldn't find a Sherman. Plenty of German units however.
I haven't been there in a long time. This Sherman was parked at the entrance. One of these days. I'd go but every time it comes around, it's always so goddamned hot that weekend and I don't get along with hot weather very well.
This is one of my favorite tanks.
My significant other's late father was a gunner in the Sherman in the 4th Armored Division during WW 2.
still, it was way better against the japaness tanks
True, but the 76mm gun did help.
My significant other's late father was gunner in a Sherman in the 4th Armored Division during WW 2.
Damn it...i was born in the wrong country and 80 years late... xD
The Sherman had its flaws. The early ones tended to catch fire rather easily until they changed the ammo storage system. It also was undergunned compared to the German Panthers and Tigers. It was comparable to the Pkfw IV. The 76mm gun helped but it still had trouble with the German tanks.
Great picture! I love this tank. Wow, you know someone from the 4th AD, that's so awesome! I read the book "He Rode Up Front for Patton" by Albin Irzyk and "Patton's Vanguard" by Don Fox. John S Wood was a fantastic general and the soldiers under him performed brilliantly in combat. | weapons_science |

Titan IThe Titan Missiles were built as a backup for the United States' first generation ICBMs - the Atlas. Missile technology grew at an increadible rate in the 1950s and 60s, and the Titans were built with many new advances the Atlas lacked. The Titans used two stages instead of one and a half, and conventional tank construction in lieu of balloon tanks. The Titan I was scrapped and replaced by the Titan II in the mid 1960's, however this was before the United States and the U.S.S.R. agreed that missile complexes would also be destroyed when a missile system was retired. Hence, all the Titan I missile complexes still exist (in varying states of disrepair), while only one Titan II complex (now a museum) has been preserved.
Only 18 Titan I sites are in existence, and none seem to be in very good condition after about 40 years of neglect. However, these complexes were designed to withstand a nuclear counter-attack (low yeilds of the time), and if left alone, will undoubtably survive for a few hundred more years. Unless some old Russian nukes are still pointed at the old Titan sites, they would make perfect fallout shelters.
Titan IIBuilt as a replacment for the original Titan I, the Titan II design allowed it to out perform it's predesser in several ways. Formost, the Titan II could be launched from within it's silo, rather then needing to be elevated to the surface.

The decision comes after the Las Vegas Mass Shooting on October 1st, 2017 when Stephen Paddock gunned down 58 people and injured 489. YouTube is focussing on videos which allow users to mod their guns using Bump Fire Stock. The modification allows semi-automatic weapons to fire more quickly, like automatic guns. It is believed that Paddock fired at a rate of 90 bullets in 10 seconds. 12 out of 23 of his arms were modded with Bump Fire Stock.
In firearms, bump fire is the act of using the recoil of a semi-automatic firearm to fire shots in rapid succession, which simulates the ability of a fully automatic weapon.
YouTube is also reviewing videos which promote the sale of firearms as well as other conversion mechanisms. Still, there are hundreds of other videos on YouTube which demonstrates the mechanism of Bump Fire but do not directly show the conversion techniques.
USA is rocked by mass shooting incidents and gun control is still a topic of debate among bureaucrats. The National Rifle Association of USA agreed to put restrictions on Bump Stocks but is not in favor of a complete ban. | weapons_science |

Given the nick name Tiger by the designer Ferdinand Porsche its official name was Panzerkampfwagen VI Ausfurrung H or Panzer VI version H.
The philosophy for the design of the Tiger differed from itís predecessors in that it emphasised firepower and armour at the expense of mobility. Other tanks had to balance mobility with protection and firepower.
The general design and layout were similar to the Panzer IV however the Tiger I weighed more than twice as much due to itís substantially thicker armour, larger main gun and greater volume of fuel and ammunition storage, larger engine, and more solid transmission and suspension. Consequentially due to these statistics it cost considerably more to produce than the Panzer IV and was produced in far fewer numbers.
Interestingly the design meant it was too heavy for bridges so was designed so it could ford deep water instead.

Regrettably, despite meaningful dialogue and coherent disarmament initiatives, the arena of international relations remains plagued by the inescapable risk of inter-state conflict between actors possessing deployable nuclear weapons. Furthermore, the virulently pervasive misperception which characterised Cold War superpower diplomacy has not been categorically eroded, and thus continues to compromise geopolitical discourse.
North Korea (officially the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea) has dominated headlines globally with increasingly provocative testing of prototype ballistic missiles and nuclear devices. Considering the profoundly unsuccessful diplomatic record between the DPRK and the international community, as well as the seemingly incoherent and reckless proclamations from the White House, one may indeed feel somewhat unnerved by the deteriorating situation on the Korean Peninsula. However, many remain uninformed regarding the reality of the geostrategic standoff, and many observers wonder if all this paranoia is justified. It is the objective of this brief disquisition to illuminate the technical nature of the situation, specifically in an attempt to moderate the excessive paranoia and misinformation surrounding the crisis. Simply, I shall clarify the reality of North Korea’s present capabilities, their potential for further development, and critically – the countermeasures in place to defend against a North Korean nuclear strike. It is hoped that this brief discussion shall bolster one’s understanding of this geopolitical issue, and counter somewhat the paranoia, misinformation, and negligent inaccuracies that mainstream media have reliably produced. Firstly, to provide some context, it is useful to briefly examine the fundamental basics of nuclear warfare and strategy.
Destroyer of Worlds:
Becoming applicable in the late 1950s, Mutually Assured Destruction (MAD) is a strategic condition resulting from a perceived equalisation of nuclear capability, which ultimately yielded a coherent theory of nuclear deterrence and enabled the Cold War to conclude without degenerating into a third world war. It is based on the simple yet profound reality of nuclear warfare, where in the event of a thermonuclear exchange, both belligerents would incur unacceptable damage, if not total destruction, irrespective of who initiated the engagement. Should one side preemptively launch a first-strike, the defender would either launch-on-warning or possess a sufficient second-strike capability so as to inflict unacceptable losses on the aggressor. Thus, the application of MAD as a strategic condition should, theoretically, dissuade pre-emptive nuclear strikes – thus maintaining a tense but sustainable peace.
However, MAD, and by extension deterrence theory, may be compromised by a number of contingent factors. Firstly, effective nuclear deterrence relies on the existence of approximate nuclear parity in terms of deliverable warheads. Secondly, the possession of a secure second-strike (retaliatory) ability is essential, and thus counter-force installations are usually hidden, hardened, or mobile. A first strike may become appealing, even seem imperative, if one concludes that the adversary’s counter-force targets are sufficiently vulnerable so as to preclude any meaningful retaliation. Thirdly, MAD may be compromised by the deployment by one side of an effective ballistic missile defence (BMD) system. In any of these scenarios, one power may enjoy a destabilizing advantage which may incentivize a pre-emptive strike. This standoff is energized by the ‘security dilemma’ (an interminable struggle to seek relative advantage and avoid relinquishing vital advantages resulting in a sustained arms race), and is compounded by virulent misperception. Other consequential factors include the nature, scale, and location of both counter-force and counter-value targets, the active deployment of SSBN (nuclear submarines carrying nuclear missiles) assets, and the supposed rationality of the actors involved.
The assumed rationality of the leaders in question meant that confidence in deterrence became a tautology – not being deterred would be inherently irrational. This perspective is undermined when one considers the ideological and personal factors which may lead one to irrational behaviour. Variability in terms of sociological normalities may lead to political misperception, as might the involuntary neglect of pre-existing diplomatic conditions by one side. Should a leader become ‘psychologically compromised’, and should the requisite safeguards and contingencies not exist, it is not unreasonable to assume that irrational action may be taken. Our discussion thus far has revolved around the conventional Cold War bipolar standoff, and while the above isn’t entirely applicable to North Korea (which maintains a negligible nuclear arsenal), it is useful to consider the basic dynamics of nuclear posturing and strategy.
The Sword and the Shield:
For one to accurately evaluate the geostrategic conditions developing in East Asia, one must examine the geopolitical objectives of nations including Japan, Vietnam, and of course the People’s Republic of China (PRC). One should also consider the diplomatic history between the Republic of Korea (South Korea) and its northern neighbour. All that to one side however, this article wishes to simply clarify the present situation. Ultimately, the question remains – should you be worried? Well, it depends. Pyongyang claims to have successfully tested a thermonuclear weapon (hydrogen bomb), and that these devices may soon be sufficiently miniaturised so as to be deployable on a ballistic missile. Additionally, North Korea is believed to have successfully tested an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) with sufficient range to strike the west coast of the United States. Recently, North Korea flew a ballistic missile over Japan, and threatened briefly to strike the American territory of Guam in the Western Pacific. Meanwhile, under intense diplomatic pressure, Beijing agreed to support the sanctions regime imposed against North Korea. Joint US-ROK military exercises constituted the overt response to successive North Korean tests and provocations. So, should you be worried? Should someone living in Seoul, Japan, Guam, Hawaii, or California be worried?
Well, despite claims to the contrary, many commentators have observed that Kim Jong-un is not some irrational lunatic leading his country into oblivion, but rather, is adhering to a rational, self-interested policy revolving around the establishment of credible nuclear deterrence. Lacking such a deterrent, he likely fears foreign intervention. Granted, his actions have resembled reckless brinksmanship, but much of the recent scholarly discourse on North Korea concludes that all this belligerence hides the realist objectives of a leader striving to secure the survival of his regime and his country. Of course, the autocratic state lacks reliable allies, significant trade, and is terribly impoverished. Furthermore, it is diplomatically isolated, and technologically backwards. While it lies outside the purview of this discussion, it is reasonable to assume that the survival of the existing regime will not coincide with any meaningfully positive change within North Korea.
Finally, there is the issue of ballistic missile defence (BMD) – the reason I originally sat down to write this article. The media’s account of North Korean capabilities neglects to factor BMD, which thus yields an inaccurate narrative. There are presently four active components to the US BMD architecture which are operationally applicable to the standoff with North Korea. Firstly, there are Terminal High-Altitude Area Defence (THAAD) batteries deployed in South Korea, Guam, and Hawaii, and additional units are deployed on the US mainland. US Navy Arleigh Burke-class guided missile destroyers are equipped with the Aegis ballistic missile defence system. Upgraded PAC-3 launchers are deployed in the US and are air-mobile. Finally, the US Ground-Based Midcourse Defence (GMD) is based on the US mainland. Collectively, the operational spectrum of these platforms encompasses the entire envelope of a ballistic missile’s trajectory – from launch, through the post-boost, midcourse, and terminal phases of flight. These systems vary greatly in their relative effectiveness and utility, and there is a lack of consensus concerning the reliability of these defences. Regardless, Beijing has voiced vehement opposition towards the US THAAD installation in South Korea. The US ballistic missile defence architecture orientated towards North Korea might, notably, provide a sufficient degree of invulnerability for the US in order for Washington to consider military intervention. Trump publicly abandoned his predecessor’s’ policy of ‘strategic patience’, and clarified that military options were being considered. It is difficult to ascertain the views of Mattis, McMasters, or Kelly on the subject, but the cabinet-level military experts are presumably considering all potential courses. Finally, it is worth remembering that the South Korean capital of Seoul would regardless be subjected to merciless artillery barrages in the opening moments of any engagement – though in line with existing contingencies and protocols, these artillery batteries could be eliminated tremendously quickly by US/ROK aerial interdiction. Presuming any North Korean ballistic missiles are intercepted, other troubling variables include the securing of all fissile material, and the prevention of a humanitarian crisis on the Chinese border.
Presently, North Korean nuclear weapons and delivery systems are relatively rudimentary, even primitive, but they have made monumental progress in the development of both thermonuclear (fusion) devices and intercontinental ballistic missiles. Most troublingly however, is their energetic attempt to field submarine-launched ballistic missiles (SLBM), as it is tremendously difficult to track and interdict nuclear submarines. In conclusion, we must be cognizant of the tangible risk this crisis poses to the stability of the Asia-Pacific region. Policymakers and strategists must proceed with caution and restraint, for one misstep could plunge the region into chaos. A sustainable solution to the North Korea dilemma remains profoundly elusive. | weapons_science |

While military vessels patrol our oceans, their success often comes down to having reliable intelligence that can alert them to potential threats. Enter the Navy Spy Plane, an airborne reconnaissance aircraft equipped with state-of-the-art surveillance equipment designed to monitor, track and assess activities across thousands of miles.
In this article, we delve into the world of naval aviation and explore the capabilities of these high-tech sentinels soaring over our seas.
The Role of the Navy Spy Plane
Navy Spy Planes play a crucial role in modern warfare by providing extensive aerial intelligence to their respective navies. Each aircraft is customized for specific missions such as surveillance, reconnaissance, maritime patrol, or anti-submarine warfare.
These aircraft gather real-time intelligence about other nations’ activities through eavesdropping on radio transmissions, photographing naval vessels or land areas, monitoring ground movements or deploying sonar equipment to detect underwater activity. Once armed with this intel, fleets can make informed decisions about their strategies and tactics while also avoiding potential dangers or mitigating risks.
Key Characteristics and Technologies
Navy Spy Planes are equipped with cutting-edge technology to help them excel at their missions. Some key characteristics of these sturdy aerial workhorses include:
1. Long-Range Capability – Most reconnaissance planes are built for endurance and can fly long distances without needing to refuel. This enables them to cover vast swaths of ocean without having to return base frequently.
2. Advanced Sensors – Equipped with sophisticated radar systems as well as optical and infrared sensors, these aircraft are capable of scanning large areas in real-time while remaining at a safe distance from potential threats.
3. Stealth Features – To avoid detection and interception by enemy air defenses, some spy planes incorporate stealth design features such as a reduced radar cross-section or specialized coatings that absorb or deflect radar waves.
4. Electronic Warfare Capabilities – In efforts to jam or deceive enemy radar systems, certain spy planes come outfitted with electronic warfare systems that can emit powerful electromagnetic signals.
Types of Navy Spy Planes
Different countries employ various types of spy planes, each tailored to suit their specific requirements or mission profiles. Some notable examples include:
1. Boeing P-8 Poseidon – Operated by the United States Navy (USN) as well as several international partners like India and Australia, this multi-mission maritime patrol aircraft is designed for long-range anti-submarine warfare, surface-to-air engagement, and reconnaissance missions.
2. Lockheed EP-3 Aries II – Currently used by USN for Signals Intelligence (SIGINT) missions focused on intercepting communications or telemetry transmissions.
3. Boeing RC-135 Rivet Joint – This aircraft is used primarily by U.S Air Force (though it can lend its support to Naval Operations) for gathering signal intelligence such as enemy radio transmissions and conducting electronic warfare operations.
4. Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) – Given their safer operation compared to piloted planes due to their expendability should they be compromised in hostile airspaces UAVs like MQ-4C Triton are becoming increasingly prominent in aerial surveillance and recon missions conducted by United States Navy.
Challenges Facing the Navy Spy Plane Fleet
Despite being critical assets in any naval conflict situation, spy planes face several challenges that require constant upgrades and maintenance:
1. Adverse weather conditions – Since they operate in coastal regions spanning tropical storms areas or polar ice caps experiencing unpredictable climate patterns these spy planes need frequent updatingto maintain optimal operating functionalities.
2. Cybersecurity Concerns – As data gathering becomes more digitized so does its susceptibility towards cyberattacks hence continuous technological advancements need implementing safeguard naval intelligence integrity from adversaries attempting breaches.
Conclusion: Maintaining Maritime Superiority
Navy Spy Planes may not always make headlines like fighter jets or advanced submarines; however these unsung heroes form an essential backbone for projecting power overseas maintaining peacekeeping operations when tensions soar internationally . | weapons_science |

Arguably its most controversial provision'Part 1 of Article IV'address states' rights to nuclear energy for 'peaceful purposes.' Non-Nuclear Weapon States argue that they have an inalienable right to develop nuclear technology for peaceful purposes, while Nuclear Weapon States emphasize that the rights of Non-Nuclear Weapon States to nuclear technology does not entitle them to all materials and technologies. The subsequent 'nuclear apartheid''with Non-Nuclear Weapon States claiming that Nuclear Weapon States are denying access to certain nuclear materials and technologies to maintain the current state of nuclear hierarchy'has intensified the discussion. Despite the consistent debate, the Treaty does not define what a 'peaceful purpose' is. This Article incorporates the standards from the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties to interpret 'peaceful purpose,' concluding that certain nuclear materials and technologies'like depleted uranium and naval reactor fuel'should not be considered uses of nuclear energy for 'peaceful purposes.'

When the bullet is fired, the expanding gases from the powder explosion propel the bullet through the barrel and out of the gun at high velocity.
In ancient times, gun barrels were cast. At that time, people thought that casting was the best method, but they soon discovered that the barrels of casted guns were generally too thick and the gun head was heavy, which would seriously affect the accuracy of the gun when shooting. Moreover, when the casting process is cooling, it is very easy to generate air bubbles, and it is difficult to make the surface of the inner bore of the barrel smooth.
As an important part of a firearm, the barrel is also the part with the worst working environment and the highest mechanical performance requirements, and it often works under high temperature and high pressure environment. Under such conditions, the structural strength requirements for the barrel are very strict. If the quality is not up to standard, it will not only affect the accuracy of shooting, but also may cause the bomb to explode. The quality of a barrel directly affects the service life and performance of the gun, so the processing technology of the barrel has become particularly important.
When a gun is fired, the inside of the barrel must withstand a pressure of several hundred megapascals, which is equivalent to several thousand atmospheres. That is to say, inside the barrel, every square centimeter bears thousands of kilograms of pressure. The chamber pressure of domestic small-caliber rifle bullets is about 280-290 MPa, while the chamber pressure of NATO small-caliber rifle bullets must reach more than 350 MPa.
The iron rod used for the barrel is not an ordinary iron rod, it is called a barrel blank. The gun billet is cast in the steel factory, and then cut into an alloy rod by a machine tool, then it can be transported to the gun factory. The gun factory processes the alloy rod into the designed shape according to the gun type produced, and then starts drilling. At this time, the alloy The rod becomes a “seamless steel pipe”, followed by the core technology of making a gun – drawing the rifling, and finally finishing the paint, and a barrel is born.
The materials needed to manufacture high-quality alloy gun blanks are difficult to obtain. The first batch of 200 Hanyang-made guns produced by the Hanyang Arsenal in 1890 were imported from Japan at a high price; the Russian high-precision sniper rifle T5000 used The gun blanks are imported from the United States. (The ORSIS rifle company that produces T5000 is a private enterprise, so it is not restricted by Western countries)
After the firearms entered the era of rifling and standardization of the caliber, the interior of the barrel became very complicated, and the energy release of the propellant of the bullet also doubled (the propellant of the modern bullet is the double-based propellant of nitrocellulose + nitroglycerin) ), which requires the barrel to have very high strength (hardness and toughness), and it is basically impossible to manufacture a qualified barrel by casting.
Gun barrels cannot be manufactured using conventional casting methods, because conventional casting methods use molds to pour them out, and the guns made in this way are relatively poor in hardness and toughness, so the gun barrels must be cold forged in order to ensure quality to manufacture.
Cold forging is generally drilled out with a drill. The barrel manufactured by this technology can withstand the huge impact generated by continuous shooting, which can better ensure the accuracy of shooting. Cold forging technology is a huge technological advancement for the safety and shooting accuracy of firearms, and it is precisely for this reason that cold forging technology is widely used in the manufacture of gun barrels in countries all over the world.
At present, the barrels of most assault rifles, light machine guns and pistols are struck by cold forging machines. The appearance of this device is unremarkable, but the technical level is very high, and it needs very good control. The beating and rotation must be even and synchronized. If the speed of the hammer head is inconsistent, the barrel will be deformed and the shape will not be a regular circle.
The production process of the gun barrel: the gun billet is cast and forged into a bar in a steel factory, the internal pores are removed, and then sent to the arsenal for subsequent processing. After the arsenal receives the steel bar, it is cut into sections, the skin with many defects is removed, and then a through hole is drilled in the center of the steel bar with a deep hole drill.
Then use a steel inner core with the same texture as the rifling to pass through, and then clamp one end on the chuck of the cold forging machine. The hammer heads made of four brass are evenly rotated under the slow rotation of the chuck of the cold forging machine. Beat the blank to make it elongated. Finally, the barrel also needs to be polished and polished on the inner and outer surfaces, and chrome-plated and other surface treatments are required to meet the requirements for use.
The barrel processed in this way not only has a smooth inner wall, uniform size, and uniform rifling, but also has extremely high overall mechanical strength and surface hardness, and proper surface roughness and rifling depth twist can fully control the rotation and shooting direction of the bullet. , to improve shooting accuracy.
In short, modern firearms manufacturing seems to be simple, but in fact it needs a complete large-scale industrial base to support it. The countries in the world that can manufacture firearms are still a few industrial powers, and the manufacturers are all well-known enterprises with a history of one hundred years. Other countries want large-scale It takes a long process to manufacture firearms with stable performance and high quality, especially the craftsman spirit we often say. | weapons_science |

Though Gen. Six months before the invasion of Normandy , 33 divisions had received no joint air-ground training. He developed the "armored column cover", where on-call fighter-bombers maintained a high-level of availability for important tank advances, allowing armor units to maintain a high tempo of exploitation even when they outran their artillery assets.
He also used a modified antiaircraft radar to track friendly attack aircraft to redirect them as necessary, and experimented with assigning fighter pilots to tours as forward air controllers to familiarize them with the ground perspective. When the armored units broke out of the Normandy beachhead, tank commanders were able to communicate directly with overhead fighter-bombers.

However, despite the innovation, Quesada focused his aircraft on CAS only for major offensives. Typically, both British and American attack aircraft were tasked primarily to interdiction, even though later analysis showed them to be twice as dangerous as CAS. Weyland utilized similar tactics to support the rapid armored advance of General Patton 's Third Army in its drive across France. The American Navy and Marine Corps used CAS in conjunction with or as a substitute for the lack of available artillery or naval gunfire in the Pacific theater.
Navy and Marine F6F Hellcats and F4U Corsairs used a variety of ordnance such as conventional bombs, rockets and napalm to dislodge or attack Japanese troops utilizing cave complexes in the latter part of World War II. As early as the Battles of Khalkhyn Gol in , Soviet aircraft had the task of disrupting enemy ground-operations.
This use increased markedly after the June Axis invasion of the Soviet Union. Joseph Stalin paid the Il-2 a great tribute in his own inimitable manner: when a particular production factory fell behind on its deliveries, Stalin sent the following cable to the factory manager: "They are as essential to the Red Army as air and bread. Though eventually the Air Force supplied sufficient pilots and forward air controllers to provide battlefield support, coordination was still lacking.
Since pilots operated under centralized control, ground controllers were never able to familiarize themselves with pilots, and requests were not processed quickly. Harold K. If you can get it, it can't find you. If it can find you, it can't identify the target. If it can identify the target, it can't hit it. But if it does hit the target, it doesn't do a great deal of damage anyway. In December , Lt. James Van Fleet , commander of the Eighth U. Army , formally requested the United Nations Commander, Gen.
The U.S. Army Wanted This Weird Jump Jet (Until the Air Force Stopped Them)
Mark Clark , to permanently attach an attack squadron to each of the four army corps in Korea. Despite the rocky start, the USAF would also work to improve its coordination efforts. It eventually required pilots to serve 80 days as forward air controllers FACs , which gave them an understanding of the difficulties from the ground perspective and helped cooperation when they returned to the cockpit. The Army also learned to assist, by suppressing anti-aircraft fire prior to air strikes. The U. Army wanted a dedicated USAF presence on the battlefield to reduce fratricide , or the harm of friendly forces.
The air liaison officer ALO was born. The ALO is an aeronautically rated officer that has spent a tour away from the cockpit, serving as the primary adviser to the ground commander on the capabilities and limitations of airpower. Firstly, the USAF preferred interdiction over fire support while the Army regarded support missions as the main concern for air forces.
The third point dealt with the lack of training and joint culture, which are necessary for an adequate air-ground integration.
Interservice rivalry and airpower in the Vietnam War
Finally, USAF aircraft were not designed for CAS: "the advent of jet fighters , too fast to adjust their targets, and strategic bombers , too big to be used on theatre, rendered CAS much harder to implement". The Howze Board, which studied the question, published a landmark report describing the need for a helicopter-based CAS requirement.
Nevertheless, it did eventually adopt the use of helicopter gunships and attack helicopters in the CAS role. Though the Army gained more control over its own CAS due to the development of the helicopter gunship and attack helicopter, the Air Force continued to provide fixed-wing CAS for Army units. The assumption of responsibility for the air request net by the Air Force improved communication equipment and procedures, which had long been a problem.
Additionally, a major step in satisfying the Army's demands for more control over their CAS was the successful implementation of close air support control agencies at the corps level under Air Force control. Though helicopters were initially armed merely as defensive measures to support the landing and extraction of troops, their value in this role lead to the modification of early helicopters as dedicated gunship platforms. Though not as fast as fixed-wing aircraft and consequently more vulnerable to anti-aircraft weaponry, helicopters could utilize terrain for cover, and more importantly, had much greater battlefield persistence owing to their low speeds.
The latter made them a natural complement to ground forces in the CAS role. In addition, newly developed anti-tank guided missiles , demonstrated to great effectiveness in the Yom Kippur War , provided aircraft with an effective ranged anti-tank weapon. These considerations motivated armies to promote the helicopter from a support role to a combat arm.
Senior Lecturer: History
Though the U. Army controlled rotary-wing assets, coordination continued to pose a problem. During wargames, field commanders tended to hold back attack helicopters out of fear of air defenses, committing them too late to effectively support ground units. The earlier debate over control over CAS assets was reiterated between ground commanders and aviators.
In the mids, after Vietnam, the USAF decided to train an enlisted force to handle many of the tasks the ALO was saturated with, to include terminal attack control. Now the ALO mainly serves in the liaison role, the intricate details of mission planning and attack guidance left to the enlisted members of the Tactical Air Control Party. Various aircraft can fill close air support roles. Military helicopters are often used for close air support and are so closely integrated with ground operations that in most countries they are operated by the army rather than the air force.
Fighters and ground attack aircraft like the A Thunderbolt II provide close air support using rockets, missiles, small bombs, and strafing runs. In World War II, dive bombers and fighters were used in close air support. Dive bombing permitted greater accuracy than level bombing runs, while the rapid altitude change made it more difficult for antiaircraft gunners to track. The Junkers Ju 87 Stuka is a well known example of a dive bomber built for precision bombing but which was successfully utilised for CAS. It was fitted with wind-blown whistles on its landing gear to enhance its psychological effect.
While some such as the Hawker Typhoon and the P Thunderbolt , performed admirably in that role, there were a number of compromises that prevented most fighters from making effective CAS platforms. Fighters were usually optimized for high-altitude operations without bombs or other external ordnance — flying at low level with bombs quickly expended fuel. Cannons had to be mounted differently for strafing — strafing required a further and lower convergence point than aerial combat did.
Such aircraft included the Ilyushin Il-2 , the single most produced military aircraft design in all of aviation history. The Soviets also used the Polikarpov Po-2 , a biplane, as a ground attack aircraft. In the Vietnam War , the United States introduced fixed and rotary wing gunships, cargo aircraft refitted as gun platforms to serve as close air support and air interdiction aircraft. The first of these was the AC Spooky.
Usually close support is thought to be only carried out by fighter-bombers or dedicated ground-attack aircraft , such as the A Thunderbolt II Warthog or Su Frogfoot , but even large high-altitude bombers have successfully filled close support roles using precision-guided munitions. With significantly longer loiter times, range, and weapon capacity, bombers can be deployed to bases outside of the immediate battlefield area, with hour missions being commonplace since After the initial collapse of the Taliban regime in Afghanistan, airfields in Afghanistan became available for continuing operations against the Taliban and Al-Qaeda.
The use of information technology to direct and coordinate precision air support has increased the importance of intelligence , surveillance , and reconnaissance in utilizing CAS. Laser , GPS , and battlefield data transfer are routinely used to coordinate with a wide variety of air platforms able to provide CAS.
Recent doctrine reflects the increased use of electronic and optical technology to direct targeted fires for CAS. Air platforms communicating with ground forces can also provide additional aerial-to-ground visual search, ground-convoy escort, and enhancement of command and control C2 , assets which can be particularly important for low intensity conflict.

They are very different from merchant ships as warships are used to carry weapons, ammunition, supplies, etc., while merchant ships carry cargo.
Warships are not new; they date back to as early as the 14th century. It’s just that modern warships have become more complex and technologically advanced than their predecessors.
Over the years, their manufacturing and maintenance costs have only gone up, making them expensive to the extent that only a few global navies can afford them.
There are several reasons why warships are so expensive. Let’s take a look at them!
- Advanced Technology: Warships are equipped with advanced technology, such as radar systems, weapons systems, propulsion systems, and communication systems, that require significant investment in research and development. This technology is also constantly evolving and upgrading, which adds to the cost of the ships.
- High-quality Materials: Warships require high-quality materials that are durable, reliable, and resistant to corrosion and wear. These materials include steel, aluminum, and other specialized alloys and composites that are more expensive than regular materials.
- Size and Complexity: Warships are large and complex vessels that require a significant amount of labor and resources to design, build, and maintain. They also require specialized facilities and equipment, such as dry docks and cranes, to be constructed and serviced.
- Security and Safety: Warships are often equipped with sensitive military technology and weapons systems, which require additional security measures to protect them from theft or sabotage. They also have to meet strict safety standards to protect the crew and ensure safe operation.
- Limited production: Warships are not produced in large quantities like commercial ships, and are often custom-built to meet specific requirements of the navy. This limited production results in higher costs per unit.
Overall, warships are expensive due to their advanced technology, high-quality materials, size and complexity, security and safety requirements, and limited production. The cost of a warship can range from several hundred million dollars to billions of dollars, depending on the type and size of the ship.
One of the main factors behind the high cost of warships is the level of technology and sophistication that goes into their design and construction.
Modern warships are equipped with various advanced systems and technologies, like advanced weapon systems, radar, sonar, communications equipment, and much more. These systems require sophisticated building techniques and many specialized materials, like the steel used to construct the hull of warships is far more superior than that of merchant ships, and this significantly adds to the vessel’s overall cost.
Another factor to consider is the size and complexity of modern warships. These vessels are typically much larger and a lot more complex than other ships and require extensive labor, a lot of planning, and different types of materials to construct.
In addition, the extensive testing and certification requirements for naval vessels add to the cost of building and maintaining a warship.
How Much United States spend on Warships
The United States spends a significant amount on warships, as maintaining a strong naval force is a priority for the U.S. military. The exact amount spent on warships can vary from year to year and is subject to budgetary considerations and changing strategic priorities.
According to the 2022 budget proposal released by the U.S. Department of Defense, the total budget for shipbuilding and conversion for the fiscal year 2022 is $22.8 billion. This budget includes funding for the construction of new warships, as well as upgrades and maintenance of existing vessels.
It is important to note that this budget includes not only warships, but also other types of ships used by the U.S. Navy, such as support vessels, amphibious assault ships, and logistics vessels. The specific amount spent on warships within this budget is not immediately clear.
Overall, the United States is one of the world’s largest spenders on military and defense, and a significant portion of that spending goes towards maintaining a strong naval force, including warships.
How much russia spends on Warships?
The exact amount that Russia spends on warships is not publicly disclosed, but it is known that Russia invests heavily in its navy as part of its defense spending. According to the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI), Russia’s military spending was approximately $61.7 billion in 2020, which represents 4.3% of Russia’s gross domestic product (GDP).
In recent years, Russia has been investing in modernizing and upgrading its naval fleet, including the construction of new warships and submarines. In 2019, Russia launched the first of its new Borei-class nuclear-powered ballistic missile submarines, and has also been building new frigates and corvettes for its surface fleet.
In addition to investing in new ships, Russia also spends significant resources on maintaining and upgrading its existing fleet, as well as training and equipping its sailors and naval personnel.
Overall, while the exact amount that Russia spends on warships is not publicly available, it is clear that Russia places a high priority on maintaining a strong naval force and investing in modernizing and upgrading its fleet.
So, the high cost of building and maintaining a warship is due to the combination of advanced technology, size and complexity, and the need for these vessels to operate in various environments and conditions.
Despite their high cost, warships remain a crucial component of many modern navies, serving as key for naval power projection and warfare.
10 Facts about Warships?
Here are some facts about warships:
- Warships are naval vessels designed for use in combat operations at sea.
- The earliest warships were built by the ancient Egyptians, Greeks, and Romans, and were primarily used for ramming and boarding enemy vessels.
- In the modern era, warships have evolved to include a variety of classes and types, including battleships, aircraft carriers, destroyers, frigates, and submarines.
- Battleships were the largest and most powerful warships in the early 20th century, and were armed with heavy guns capable of firing shells over long distances.
- Aircraft carriers are the most important warships in modern naval warfare, as they provide a mobile airfield for fighter planes and other aircraft to strike enemy targets.
- Destroyers and frigates are smaller, faster warships designed to provide escort and protection for larger vessels, such as aircraft carriers and supply ships.
- Submarines are underwater warships that are used for stealthy reconnaissance, intelligence gathering, and attack operations.
- Warships are equipped with a variety of weapons systems, including guns, missiles, torpedoes, and anti-aircraft defense systems.
- The size and capabilities of warships are measured by their displacement, or the weight of the water they displace when they are in the water.
- Warships are an important part of modern naval forces, and are used to project military power, protect national interests, and maintain security and stability in the world’s oceans. | weapons_science |

There are numerous kinds of weapon locks that run in a manner to make it incredibly hard to release a gun. Trigger locks that are fitted to the trigger of a revolver or rifle are planned to prevent access to and subsequent discharge of a gun.
Avoiding access to guns serves a double function because it likewise safeguards the gun from unlawful use after thetheft. These locks are normally created to prevent them from being by force got rid of from the gun without completely disabling it. Locks are thought about by specialists to be less efficient than keeping guns kept in a lockable safe due to that locks are more quickly beat than authorized safes, frequently used to physically avoid access to the gun.
When looking to choose, do not ignore the basic advantages of owning a well-built, quality weapon safe such as these best hidden gun safes. For somebody who owns guns, the sensible thing to do is to keep them safe and far from inexperienced hands. As formerly mentioned, a weapon safe is the method of theoption to secure weapons. A well-made, quality weapon safe not just will secure your guns from theft, but it likewise offers adefense in case of a home fire, consisting of supplying a safe area for crucial files such as insurance coverage contracts, deeds, and birth certificates. A fire-resistant safe will conserve you time and headaches when you should collect documentation for an insurer in case of a home fire.
As there are no requirements in place on ways to insulate a safe, it depends on the producer to use the products they feel would work best. It's important to ask great deals of concerns and collect as many details as possible on manufacture and efficiency before purchasing a weapon safely. Make certain to obtain the very best security readily available for the cash you invest and do not make a spontaneous purchase when selecting in between items. Keep in mind to select quality over rate.
Quality weapon safes supply a perfect method to protect guns instead of counting on wood cabinets or metal lockers. Utilizing weapon locks will not avoid a scoundrel from taking your weapons. Having a quality weapon safe methods that you do not need to stress over little hands having fun with your weapons. As quickly as the weapons are safely kept there is no other way a child can access your guns. This will avoid any mishaps happening in your home.
Locking your weapons in a quality weapon safe reduces the opportunities of theft significantly. Burglars will be prevented when a safe comes across and in many cases, will trigger them to just prevent the uphill struggle of getting into it if choosing to burgle your house.
There are lots of other advantages to owning a weapon safe, but those noted above are simply a few of essential ones. You wish to keep your weapons locked away to prevent mishaps, and you wish to safeguard crucial files so they are safe and convenient. You want to secure your weapons from wrongdoers. As you can see, acquiring a quality weapon safe to protect your weapons is a crucial, accountable and wise thing to do. | weapons_science |

There are 4 parts to this activity. Use the controls in the simulation to fire the projectiles (by pushing the red firing button) at various angles and with various initial speeds. Don't forget that the definition of the "range" is the distance traveled in the x-direction to get back down to the original firing height. The trajectory shown in the simulation starts at the base of the cannon.
You can use the tools (located at the top of the simulation) to make any measurements you need. Record all of your work in your lab notebook, including the calculations you make and results of the simulations.
a. Calculate the range of a projectile with an initial speed of 16 m/s and a firing angle of 35° when the cannon is on the ground. After you determine the answer, adjust the parameters to those values in the simulation and fire the cannon. Record your results and the results given by the simulation.
b. Change the mass of the projectile in the simulation by choosing several different objects as projectiles. Do you think this change will have any effect on the range? Fire the cannon with a different mass. Does this change have any effect? Why or why not?
a. Calculate the maximum height of a projectile fired at 8 m/s and a 50° firing angle. After you determine the answer, adjust the parameters in the simulation to these new values and fire the cannon. Record your results and the results given by the simulation.
b. Examine the structure of the equations you used to determine by what factor the maximum height would change if you doubled the initial speed. Check your thinking by changing the initial speed on the simulation to 16 m/s. Record your results.
Calculate the ranges for a projectile with an initial speed of 15 m/s shot at a 40° angle and the same projectile shot at a 50° angle. How do the results compare? Use the simulation to check your work. Record your findings. Try the same activity with angles of 25° and 65°. What can be said about firing a projectile at complementary angles?
Repeat activity 3, this time finding the total horizontal distance traveled when the cannon raised 10 m off the ground. This distance is no longer referred to as the range (because Δy ≠ 0), and you cannot use the range equation to find it. Instead, you simply need to use the basic kinematic equations for projectiles. Compare and contrast your results between activity 4 and activity 3. Explain any differences. | weapons_science |

SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — North Korea mentioned assigning extra duties to front-line military items at a key army assembly, state media mentioned Thursday, a transfer that analysts mentioned signifies it plans to deploy battlefield nuclear weapons focusing on South Korea alongside the rivals’ tense border.
Whereas a lot worldwide consideration has targeted on North Korea’s testing of intercontinental ballistic missiles probably able to reaching the U.S. mainland, it’s also creating quite a lot of nuclear-capable short-range missiles that may goal South Korea.
South Korean officers not too long ago mentioned that North Korea has accomplished preparations for its first take a look at of a nuclear explosive machine in 5 years, a part of a doable effort to construct warheads able to being mounted on short-range missiles.
Throughout an ongoing assembly of the Central Navy Fee of North Korea’s ruling Employees’ Social gathering, chief Kim Jong Un and different prime army officers mentioned on Wednesday “the work of moreover confirming the operation duties of the front-line items of the Korean Individuals’s Military and modifying the operation plans,” in line with the official Korean Central Information Company.
Political Cartoons on World Leaders
Kim additionally ordered steps to “improve the operational capabilities of the front-line items,” KCNA mentioned. A KCNA photograph confirmed what gave the impression to be a big map of the Korean Peninsula’s jap coast, together with border websites, standing close to the convention desk.
Though there was no public point out of tactical nuclear weapons, “I can assess that the problems of forward-deploying tactical nuclear weapons and the modification of associated operational plans and army group reshuffles have been mentioned in an in-depth method” on the assembly, mentioned Cheong Seong-Chang, a senior analyst at South Korea’s non-public Sejong Institute.
Cheong mentioned North Korea’s push to deploy nuclear weapons at front-line items was anticipated because it mentioned in April that its new tactical weapons would considerably increase the items’ assault capability and the environment friendly operation of tactical nuclear weapons.
A KCNA report on April 17 on the test-launch of what it referred to as a brand new sort of tactical guided weapon mentioned it has “nice significance in drastically bettering the firepower of the front-line long-range artillery items, enhancing the effectivity within the operation of (North Korea’s) tactical nukes and diversification of their firepower missions.”
Later in April, Kim mentioned North Korea may preemptively use nuclear weapons if threatened, saying they might “by no means be confined to the only mission of battle deterrent” in conditions wherein the nation faces exterior threats to its “elementary pursuits.” The potential of North Korea having an escalatory nuclear doctrine may pose higher concern for South Korea, Japan and the USA.
North Korea has described a few of its different short-range nuclear-capable missiles examined in recent times as tactical weapons, which consultants say communicates a risk to proactively use them throughout typical warfare to blunt the stronger typical forces of South Korea and the USA.
Kim Jun-rak, a spokesperson for South Korea’s Joint Chiefs of Workers, advised reporters Thursday that it’s intently monitoring North Korean actions however didn’t elaborate. South Korea’s Unification Ministry, which abroad relations with North Korea, mentioned the North will doubtless enhance its army threats in opposition to South Korea, however didn’t elaborate.
Kim convened the Central Navy Fee assembly earlier this week to verify “essential and pressing duties” to broaden the nation’s army capabilities and implement key protection insurance policies, state media mentioned.
Cheong, the analyst, mentioned North Korea is predicted to conduct its seventh nuclear take a look at after the assembly, noting that its third nuclear take a look at in 2013 additionally got here days after one other Central Navy Fee assembly.
This 12 months, North Korea has test-launched about 30 missiles in what some consultants name an try and broaden its arsenal and enhance its leverage in future negotiations with the USA to win sanctions reduction and different concessions. The weapons examined embrace an ICBM. Analysts say North Korea must grasp missile reentry capabilities and different applied sciences to make a functioning long-range weapon.
There have been indicators of an impending North Korean nuclear take a look at for weeks. South Korean officers mentioned the take a look at has been delayed by North Korea’s persevering with COVID-19 outbreak and opposition from China, its final main ally and largest help supplier.
Gained In-Choul, chairman of South Korea’s Joint Chiefs of Workers, held a video convention on Thursday along with his American counterpart, Gen. Mark Milley, and mentioned a North Korean ICBM take a look at or nuclear take a look at explosion may happen at any time, his workplace mentioned in a press release. It mentioned Milley responded that the U.S. dedication to the protection of South Korea stays “iron-clad.”
South Korean and U.S. officers have warned North Korea that it’ll face penalties if it goes forward with a nuclear take a look at. However divisions between the everlasting members of the U.N. Safety Council make prospects for extra worldwide sanctions on North Korea unclear. Earlier this 12 months, Russia and China vetoed U.S.-sponsored resolutions that may have elevated sanctions, insisting that Washington ought to concentrate on reviving dialogue.

There has been a lot of inquires about the Sage EBR M1 Garand. I have decided to make a commentary about calling all SAGE M1 Garands owners to chime in here. When I go and check out a particular website that sells the M1 Garand Sage Stock, its sells out or does not last long in their inventory. That being said, anyone out there that has completed a Sage EBR M1 Garand rifle build please show us your project. We all want to see your build. I have looked for other photos and or articles of the Sage EBR M1 Garand with no prevail. I am sure that there are owners who already have completed a Sage M1 Garands out there someplace.
As for myself.........I only have one M1 Garand at the moment and that rifle will stay in its original and traditional form. I know in the future that I will start such a project. First thing I will do when the time comes to build a Sage EBR M1 Garand is most likely get the rifle from CMP(Civilain Marksmanship Program) due to its availability and grade and price. Then purchase the Sage EBR M1 Garand Stock when available again to the general public. To recap this commentary..........I am calling out any Sage EBR M1 Garand owners or if you have a friend who has one to send a commentary here and range report with photos, so we all can learn, drool and enjoy each others collection to see.

For accuracy in 2015, they were $ 1.652 billion. In order to have an idea of how much weapons cost, we have made a list of 7 war technologies that were never put in production, but whose projects costed millions, if not billions of euros. A round of weapons … and failures.
BOEING YAL-1 AIRBORNE TESTBED LASER It was a laser cannon mounted on the nose of a Boeing 747-400F. We talked about it in 2010, after a promising test. It should have been able to intercept and destroy missiles in flight, but the program was cut in 2011 because the laser was not powerful. Thus they threw away 16 years of development and $ 5 billion in investment. Today, the only existing exemplar can be seen in the “Boneyard”, the “cemetery” of the United States Air Force military aircraft.
OICW (OBJECTIVE INDIVIDUAL COMBAT WEAPON) Prototype of a rifle that can hit the target even if protected from a shelter. It could have shot a 200mm bullet, planned to explode at a distance and specific altitude. In fact, it would have to be the combination of an assault rifle and a small-scale ammunition grenade launcher. Not convincing was the design: the OICW is a cumbersome and heavy rifle. So nothing was done after spending $ 100 million from 1994 to 2005 when the project was set aside by DARPA.
A-12 AVENGER The design of this stealth bomber (invisible to the radar) was canceled in 1991 by secretary-defense Dick Cheney, as each plane would cost $ 165 million. To give you an idea, a specimen of the F35, considered the world’s most expensive airplane, costs 99 to 120 million dollars.
EXPEDITIONARY FIGHTING VEHICLE (EFV) The EFV was born as an amphibious assault vehicle developed for US Marines. Realizing it would have cost $ 15 billion, but the program was canceled in 2011 by Secretary of Defense Robert Gates after a total cost of $ 3 billion. Reason: The high costs and the awareness that such a vehicle in modern war scenarios could be … less useful than expected.
The B70 Valkyrie. The reference to the famous composers Valkyries did not do well to this supersonic American bomber considered “invulnerable” because of its ability to operate above 21,000 meters at a speed faster than Mach 3. The invention of air missiles that can intercept it (SAM) made it obsolete before being put in the field. The project involved US military engineers from the early 1950s to 1969, the darkest period of the Cold War, and then abandoned after only two prototypes: one exhibited in an aviation museum in Dayton (Ohio) another crashed after a collision with an F-104. The cost of the project? $ 1.5 billion of that time (ie more than $ 10 billion today).
FUTURE COMBAT SYSTEMS The war in Afghanistan before, and that in Iraq later, convinced the US Army to launch a modernization program that included faster brigades with smaller vehicles capable of being sent to war. The program was called Future Combat Systems, and it would have had a total cost of $ 340 billion if it had been implemented. That is not the case, and in 2009 the program was canceled by Barack Obama’s government. But the Department of Defense has spent more than $ 18 billion for its development.
RAH-66 COMANCHE An expensive “invisible” helicopter to the radars ever acquired by the Pentagon and canceled in 2004 for financial budget problems: built with radar-absorbing materials, had disappearance weapons inside special fuselage holders and the pilot cell was able to withstand even an attack with chemical weapons. From the early stages of the project, in 1991, until its cancellation in 2004, the army spent about $ 6.9 billion. It should be said that many of the technologies developed for the Comanche could have been used for the production of other aircraft and warships. | weapons_science |

Mar. 30, 2017– Less than 24 hours after PC Marvin Locke was stabbed brutally and killed at the Racoon Street Police Station by a Honduran man, who had gone into the station and waited for him, another policeman was shot.
Corporal #470 Daniel Paul Lawrence, 37, was shot in the chest on Monday night at his home on Church Street. At home at the time were Lawrence’s two sons, one 8 and the other 17.
Police reported that at about 9:00 on Monday night, Lawrence was sleeping with his loaded 9mm Glock pistol in the ready position under his pillow when the gun discharged.
Lawrence, attached to the Racoon Street Strike Team, was admitted to the KHMH’s Intensive Care Unit, where he had been declared to be serious but stable. Credible reports to Amandala tonight, however, that he is “critical but stable, but still in an induced coma.”
Cop, who was in an induced coma, reportedly recovering
The bullet reportedly went into Lawrence’s chest and injured his lungs. It is not yet known what caused the pistol to discharge, but it is strongly suspected that Lawrence’s finger accidentally made contact with the trigger while he was sleeping and the gun fired, since it was in the “ready” position.
Police have declared the shooting “accidental.” However, when a gun fires unintentionally, it is termed a “negligent discharge,” which is a violation of the principles of safe weapon handling, some of which are: a gun not in use is to be unloaded completely, ensuring that no round is in the chamber and the magazine removed and the gun stored in a safe place. The rounds are stored safely, in a separate area. Gun and rounds are never to be stored in the same place.
The pamphlet also states that a gun is only made ready when it is to be fired, and never to be carried in the ready-to-fire position. It can be carried loaded, but not ready. The gun is considered loaded when the magazine is attached.
Gun owners must at all times practice safe weapon handling to avoid being a menace or a danger to themselves or to others around them. | weapons_science |

Several factors give it this pre-eminence - its immense size (1.2h), making it the largest in Britain after Windsor, its large-scale use of water for defense and the fact that it is the first truly concentric castle in Britain. Of the time of its building in the late 13th century, it was a revolutionary masterpiece of military planning.
One of Henry III's most powerful and ambitious barons, Gilbert de Clare, lord of Glamorgan, built this castle. His purpose was to secure the area and prevent lowland south Wales from falling into the hands of the Welsh leader Llywelyn the Last, who controlled most of mid and north Wales. De Clare built other castles on the northern fringes of his territory for the same purpose, such as Castell Coch. He had seized the upland district of Senghenydd, in which Caerphilly lies, from the Welsh in 1266 to act as a buffer against Llywelyn's southward ambitions. Llywelyn realised the threat and tried but failed to prevent the castle from being built; it was begun on 11 April 1268, was attacked by Llywelyn in 1270, and was begun again in 1271. This time it was completed without hindrance. Its message was not lost on Llywelyn, who retreated northwards. Apart from the remodelling of the great hall and other domestic works in 1322-6 for Hugh le Despenser, no more alterations were carried out, making it a very pure example of late 13th-century military architecture.

Siege Weapons and Warfare
The Medieval era of the English Middle Ages saw the advent of the Crusades to the Holy Land and the construction of hundreds of castles at home. A totally new form of warfare and weapons were introduced to England with the castles and following the experiences fighting the Saracens and their fortresses during the Crusades - Siege Warfare. Siege warfare tactics and weapons varied according to the role of Defender or Attacker.
Medieval Siege Weapons DesignSiege weapons were made to order! They were far too cumbersome to move from one place to another. In a siege situation the commander would assess the situation and the siege weapons design requirements to break a siege. Engineers would instruct soldiers as to the design and construction of siege weapons and siege engines.
Construction of Siege Weapons
Medieval Siege warfare and building siege weapons was an extremely expensive business! All sieges had to be carefully planned and the exact type and number of siege weapons had to be established. Medieval Lords, knights and their Siege Engineers identified the weakest parts of the Castle or town that they needed to attack and planned the design of the siege engines accordingly. A workforce including carpenters and blacksmiths had to be transported to the site. The surrounding area was checked out for materials and supplies. Armed men and soldiers were expected to help prepare for the siege by helping to build the siege weapons and engines. Many elements needed to be taken into consideration when designing siege weapons. | weapons_science |

|Aetherolance||2/4||1,5/4||2/4||The aetherolance is a fairly balanced weapon. This weapon will be ideal for slicing but also doing damage to deep wounds. Once your gauge is charged, you will launch powerful mortars.|
|Hache||4/4||4/4||0,5/4||The ax is a very difficult weapon to master but will be perfect for players who like tactics. You will make heavy strikes, very heavy, but you will also have to channel your blows to charge your gauge and thus trigger a special attack bonus.|
|Hammer||2,5/4||2/4||2/4||Like the Aetherolance, the Hammer is a fairly balanced weapon. Perfect combination between a hammer and a cannon, you will easily burst the bones and the scales of the Behemoths. Also, you will be able to knock down or interrupt those monsters you are hunting. Once your gauge is charged, you can use the cannon which can be useful for dodging in certain cases.|
|Blade chains||1/4||1/4||4/4||Chain Blades aren't heavy damage weapons, but you can take great advantage of their speed. Thanks to this, you will quickly cut and dismember the Behemoths. The chains will allow you to attack from a distance or to approach your opponents by grabbing them with them and chaining them in close combat.|

The figures from a rifle barrel are 1760 fps and 1650 ft. lbs
The standard .44 Magnum bullet weights 240 grain (gr), travels at a velocity of 1,350 feet per second (fps), and generates a muzzle energy of 971 foot pound energy (ft·lbs). It features a .429-inch lead bullet that sits in a straight-walled case that is 1.285 inches long When the .44 Mag was introduced in 1955, Hercules 2400 and IMR 4227 soon became the most popular powders for .44 Magnum hand-loads.

If someone wanted to skip up over the .44 magnum a better choice would be the .454 Casull which allows you to also shoot .45 Colt or even better than that the .460 S&W which gives you a very powerful caliber with excellent distance capability in addition to being able to. Furthermore, the muzzle energy of a .40 S&W round averages out to 420 ft-lb, while a .44 Remington Magnum round averages out to about 900 ft-lb. One way to think about this is as such: a foot-pound is a unit of energy equal to the amount of energy required to raise a weight of one pound a distance of one foot 300 Winchester Short Magnum (WSM) Load Data; 300 Winchester Magnum Load Data; 300 Weatherby Magnum Load Data; 30 Nosler Load Data; 30-378 Weatherby Magnum Load Data; 300 Remington Ultra Magnum Load Data; 7.62x51mm NATO Load Data; 8x57mm JS Mauser Load Data; 8mm-06 Load Data; 325 Winchester Short Magnum (WSM) Load Data; 8mm Remington Magnum Load.

HoneyBadger™ — Our new line of ammunition that does not have hollow points. HoneyBadger™ doesn't need hollow points and does not depend on them for performance The beauty of .44 Magnum these days is that you can purchase anywhere from extremely mild loads in .44 Special (which shoot just fine out of .44 Magnum revolvers), to mild Magnum loads, all the way to full-power Magnum loads, and even those insane Buffalo Bore +P+ loads (if you have one of the two revolvers that Buffalo Bore says can handle them) For nearly 140 years, the Union Metallic Cartridge Company name has been synonymous with some of the finest ammunition made. Since its beginning in 1867, UMC has blazed a trail of innovation in cartridge-making excellence that continues to this day. UMC was the first ammunition company to produce centerfire ammunition I bought both this and Underwood's same 340gr P rated bullet for my 44 magnum. The recoil felt slightly snappier for buffalo bore. I chronographed five random rounds from both brands and from my 5.5 Ruger Redhawk, I found an average speed of 1,240fps (1,161ft/lbs) for Underwood and 1,300fps (1,276ft/lbs) for Buffalo Bore Introduced in 1950, the .44 Magnum had both the energy and speed gun owners wanted. It delivered 767 foot pounds of energy against targets, and at 1,200 feet per second achieved supersonic speed. The result was an excellent round for hunting sidearm, capable of defending a hunter from a charging boar, bear or other dangerous animal

Magnum Energy has also made advances with AC Coupling, which allows a solar power grid-tie system to work with a backup battery system that can be charged even during grid black outs. This is a perfect add-on for folks who want to include a battery back-up package to their pre-existing grid-tie system Designed and created for the purpose of optimizing the full capabilities of the 44 Magnum's true power. Similar to our 450 bushmaster ammo, this is also an all copper bullet we produce ourselves. The bullet has been optimized for rapid expansion with nearly 100% weight retention
The increased damage is reduced somewhat by the fact that the metal jacket limits the expansion, resulting in less kinetic energy transferred to the target. The ammunition is referred to as .44 Magnum ball in Fallout: Tactics (colloquial term for FMJ ammunition) and abstracted as Large Bullets in Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel The .44 Remington Magnum or .44 Mag for short was introduced to the shooting community in 1956.

Most of the news reports say that it’s the first time the device has been deployed against US civilians (it’s been used against the Somali pirates and elsewhere). I could have sworn they were actually used in New York during the 2004 RNC, but I could be mistaken. No matter, it’s been used, and it’s making headlines.
The LRAD–like tasers, various chemicals, and directed energy weapons–are supposedly nonlethal. But–like tasers, various chemicals, and directed energy weapons–nonlethal weapons can often end up killing civilians. (See this Alternet article on tasers, and this NY Times article on the Russian use of fentayl), though I suppose that the LRAD–which can incite nausea, disrupted vision, and hearing damage–is the least lethal of these so-called nonlethal weapons.
The military acknowledges that nonlethal doesn’t actually mean nonlethal. In a 2003 MTTP for the tactical employment of nonlethal weapons, the Joint Nonlethal Weapons Directorate notes:
The term “nonlethal” does not mean zero mortality or nonpermanent damage; these are goals and not guarantees of these weapons. NLW can add flexibility to combat operations and enhance force protection by providing an environment in which friendly troops can engage threatening targets with reduced risk of noncombatant casualties and collateral damage.
According to a report cited in an article by the Federation of American Scientists, a non-lethal chemical weapon is one that incapacitates 98% of the target population while causing fewer than 0.5% fatalities.

Sherly Montes, a journalism student at Southern Connecticut State University, reported this story as part of Journalism Capstone coursework on World War I.
One of the largest manufacturers during World War I was Remington UMC, then located in Enterprise Park Bridgeport, Conn.
Also known as the Remington Arms Co., now located in Lonoke, Ark., was once located in Bridgeport from 1866 until 1986.
The company was known for its specialization in metallic ammunition for pistols, rifles and shotguns, according to Remington’s website.
Remington produced ammunition and weapons from the Civil War to World War II. As the company expanded it added gun design and assembly to its production.
During its involvement with World War I, Remington produced arms for France, Britain and Russia. Once the United States entered the war, Remington also supplied its needs.
Remington was eventually bought out during the Great Depression and then moved to Arkansas. Remington is still in business today and it still produces ammunition, guns and rifles.
Today, the old Remington Arms Co. located on the East Side of Bridgeport — at the intersection of Arctic and Helen streets — comprises three abandoned and vandalized buildings. Previously other buildings were lost to fire and demolition.
What is left of the Remington Co. at Enterprise Park will not be there much longer as plans to build another train station in its place have been in the works and are waiting for approval by the City Council.

Fifty-five years ago, the eponymous villain of the movie Goldfinger strapped James Bond to a table, pointed a high-energy industrial laser between his legs, and informed the spy of his fate. Spoiler alert: 007 survived, and so did the trope of laser weaponry. Countless other fictional universes have used high-energy photonics to fuel their imagined conflicts—from stunning Klingons in Star Trek, to atomizing worlds in Star Wars.
But, how far off are these fictions from reality? Defense contractors like Raytheon and Lockheed Martin have, in recent years, developed high-energy lasers capable of blasting drones out of the sky, blowing up floating targets, and burning holes through trucks. These stunts are more than just high-profile PR. The US Department of Defense has already equipped ships, aircraft, and land vehicles with laser weaponry for testing in the field. According to some directed energy experts, laser weapons are on the cusp of combat readiness.
The defense community has been theorizing about photonic weapons for a long time. "At some point in the distant past, Archimedes supposedly talked about using mirrors to burn enemy ships by redirecting the sun's light," says Glen Parram, a professor of physics at the Air Force Institute of Technology and longtime SPIE member. He jests, but points out that military minds have been taking laser weapons seriously longer than you might think. The US Department of Defense convened a classified conference in 1963—just three years after Theodore Maiman lit up the world's first laser—with the purpose of assessing the military use of lasers.
The details of that conference are unknown (it was classified, after all), but it's a safe bet the outcome was an affirmative for high-energy photonics, because the defense community has spent the better part of six decades slogging through some of optical engineering's most difficult challenges.
First and foremost was creating the high-power photons themselves. Early on, that was done by firing electrons through various crystals. However, these early attempts to electrically generate weapons-grade lasers required too much energy, created too much waste heat, and couldn't provide a consistent photonic oomph. These problems all come from the electric laser's inefficient use of energy. A laser might take 500 watts of energy to create a 100-watt beam, with most of the rest going to waste—which is to say, becoming heat. If the laser can't shed heat fast enough, the extreme temperature gradients will futz with the laser's beam quality. This would be akin to a rifle overheating and suddenly firing blanks.
"The inefficiencies of electrical systems forced the government folks to look at creating photons using chemical reactions," says Mark Niece, the executive director of the Directed Energy Professional Society. This led to the evolution of lasers, from CO2 lasers, to hydrogen fluoride lasers that operated in the mid-infrared, and eventually to chemical oxygen iodine, like that which operated aboard the Boeing YAL-1 Airborne Laser Platform—an Air Force-funded program that strapped a chemical laser to the nose of a 747; the project was cancelled in 2011. Along the way, these scaled from watts to kilowatts to megawatts in terms of output.

Chemical lasers, however, presented their own logistical challenges. Any given chemical medium can only produce a limited number of consistent shots before it needs to be replenished. In this way, they mimic the limitations of traditional kinetic weapons: they always need more bullets. So, despite some successful chemical laser weapon platforms—the YAL-1 Airborne Laser is probably the most notable—the military kept open its side bets in electrified lasers.
By the early 1990s, the commercial cutting, welding, and machining industries had developed very powerful electric lasers and brought the costs down significantly; a win for the crossover technology. Electric lasers now came in two distinct flavors: solid state and bundled fiber optic.
Solid-state lasers descend from Theodore Maiman's original ruby-fired prototype. They channel electrons through synthetic crystals that have been doped with a small amount of rare-earth minerals, such as neodymium or ytterbium. In 2009, Northrup Grumman's Joint High Power Solid-State Laser broke the record for a high-energy laser by producing a 105 kilowatt beam.
Since then, laser developers have pushed solid-state lasers in excess of 150 kilowatts and are currently hovering at around 28 percent wall plug efficiency, according to Niece. Which is great, except that increases in solid-state laser power come with commensurate increases in size, making them too big for just about any tactical platform besides warships.
Luckily, the fiber optics industry had its own technological breakthroughs. First, individual fibers could now handle kilowatt levels of power without degrading. Second, engineers at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory figured out how to combine multiple fiber-optic inputs into single output beams—sort of like a prism in reverse. "That's a bit of a black art right now, and still highly classified," says Niece.
As a result of these key technologies, and a lot of iterative work, bundled fiber optic lasers are capable of pushing out nominal power rates between 60 and 100 kilowatts at roughly 36 percent wall plug efficiency.
"All this leads to a maturity of fiber lasers that can be packaged and integrated into combat vehicles and taken to the field for experimentation," says Niece. Which is exactly what companies like Raytheon, Lockheed Martin, and others have done with those flashy laser weapons advertised on their websites. Sailors, soldiers, and airmen are currently field testing these high-energy lasers—which have to weather sand, storms, bumps, temperature extremes, and operator foibles. "If we have to change the diode every 10 hours because it burns out in the desert, that probably doesn't give the soldier as much confidence as trusting their rifle," says Niece.
Niece's comment illustrates the whole point of laser weapons: they are not intended to replace traditional weapons, but to operate within niches where they might perform as complements to the traditional kinetic armament. Currently, high-energy lasers are best suited for short-range defensive tactical missions, like protecting a ship from fleets of fast attack boats, or an Army truck from a swarm of drones.
However, lasers aren't suited for all short-range tactical situations. For instance, handheld laser weapons, like the phaser from Star Trek, aren't on the foreseeable horizon. "Not to say the military isn't interested in that," says Niece, but as of now, the architecture would be unsuitably bulky. "Think back to Ghostbusters: how can we generate that type of electricity without carrying a particle accelerator on your back?" says Niece.
Suffice to say, neither will the military be building a Death Star anytime soon. Space lasers need to operate in extreme temperatures, be armored against radiation, somehow generate massive volumes of energy, and track minute targets with extreme precision. With the current limitations on launching gear from Earth into space, building a laser big enough to do damage from orbit just isn't feasible. Galactic conquest will have to wait at least another 60 years.

Following Russian aggression against Ukraine in 2014, Poland began an ambitious program to modernize its military which still has aging Soviet-era equipment.
Warsaw’s military modernization program includes plans to purchase more Patriot missiles, a 360-degree radar, low-cost interceptor missiles, HIMARS missile launchers, and attack helicopters (2019).
POLISH PURCHASES OF AMERICAN DEFENSE TECHNOLOGY
In March 2018, Poland signed an agreement to buy Raytheon Co.’s Patriot missile defense system. Two batteries, each with two fire units, will be delivered in 2022 and could become operational by 2024.
Amounting to $4.75 billion, this was the largest arms procurement agreement in Poland’s history; The figure is approximately half of Poland’s annual defense budget (2019). As part of the deal, US companies (Lockheed, Martin, and Northrop-Grumman) agreed to approximately $280 million in offsets (2018).
F-16 Fighter Jets and JASSM Missiles:
On April 18, 2003, Poland signed an agreement to purchase 48 F-16 C/D fighter jets (manufactured by Lockheed Martin). The other competitors in the final round of the bid were Sweden’s Gripen and France’s Mirage.
Poland agreed to pay $3.5 billion for the aircraft, making the agreement the “largest arms purchase by a former Soviet-bloc country since the cold war ended” (2003).
The deal also included a $6.3 billion offset package involving investments in Poland by Lockheed Martin and other American companies; Poland insisted on an offset component because it is a relatively poor country for which a $3.5 billion arms contract is a major expenditure (2003). The offset involved 30 separate projects and was eventually completed in May 2015.
The 48 F-16s were delivered to Poland between November 2006 and December 2008 in batches (2006).
Polish F-16s have taken part in anti-ISIS aerial reconnaissance missions over Iraq and Syria in 2016 as well as in Baltic Air Policing in 2017 (see fact sheet on Poland’s out-of-area security contributions).
In December 2014, the US and Poland also signed a $250 million contract for the purchase of 40 AGM-158A JASSMs (air-launched cruise missiles) by Warsaw and the modernization of Poland’s F-16s by the US.
In December 2017, the US Department of State approved a $200 million possible contract for F-16 follow-on support and sustaining services.
Future Purchase Plans:
Poland is negotiating with the US to purchase more Patriot missiles, a low-cost interceptor missile, and 360-degree radar to facilitate the second phase of the Polish military’s modernization program (2018).
However, it is unclear whether the Polish government plans to fund the additional six Patriot batteries that were supposed to go under contract in the second phase (2019).
The Polish government has accelerated negotiations to acquire Lockheed Martin’s HIMARS multiple missile launchers, along with precision-guided munitions (GMLRS and ATACMS), for Poland’s Homar (“Lobster”) system of self-propelled rocket artillery (2018). Hoping to obtain the launchers faster and at a lower price, the Poles decided to follow Romania’s lead and forego the usual offset (2018).
Warsaw wishes to purchase 32 Western attack helicopters to replace its aging Soviet-era Mi-24s. The value of the contract would be approximately 10 billion PLN (approx. $2.71 billion). The Poles are considering two American models (the AH1 Viper and the AH-64 Apache) and one European (the Eurocopter 665 Tiger), although the Polish defense ministry is reportedly most interested in the Apache (2018).
The Poles are considering purchasing additional F- 16s to replace its Su-22s and MiG-29s. Although Warsaw decided against buying additional F-16s of the A/B version, it remains interested in more advanced versions, such as the F-16V (2018).
The Polish government stated that it is willing to pay as much as $2 billion (2019) for a permanent US military base on its territory.
As of June 2019, the US will likely relocate over 1,000 new troops to Poland and President Trump is seriously considering the creation of a permanent US military base in Poland. | weapons_science |

That is, what has been the achievement that has separated one army or nation from its predecessor, relatively speaking?
- Was it the first use of bronze or iron?
- The use of large projectiles such as the catapult, or the long bow or the crossbow?
- Or perhaps gunpowder, or the rifled barrel – or even the fully automatic rifle?
Then again, it could be the use of air power in military conflict in the twentieth century, or the atom bomb. Then again, it could be the hydrogen bomb, ICMBs, or some other development in our future. | weapons_science |

Areas of use:
- WMA / HEMA
- SCA / Cut & Thrust
- Battle of the Nations
A small dive into history:
Introduced in Europe in IX century by Magyar and Turkish warriors, sabers continued to evolve in South-Eastern Europe. The word “saber” comes from Hungarian “szabla”. This example represents a relatively early stage of this great weapon’s evolution. However, at this stage the saber was a highly maneuverable weapon well suited both for horseback and foot combat.
Despite the fact that the main purpose of sabers is to slash and cut, this particular sword also copes very well with thrusting. This means that some sword fighting techniques used for straight medieval swords can easily be applied with this saber.
The Swift corresponds to archaeological findings dated X-XI centuries. The moderately curved blade indicates the Hungarian origins of this sword, which was adopted and creatively reinterpreted by South-West Slavic tribes. The cross-guard is shorter compared to typical Hungarian sabers and is completely symmetrical - at that point in history we can already observe the development of asymmetrical cross-guards in Hungarian sabers and curving of the true-edge side of the cross-guard toward the grip. The handle still has a very mild reverse curvature, and near the pommel the curvature increases, denoting one of the future evolutions of the slavic sabre.
Later in XIV and XV centuries Slavic sabers were divided in two distinctive types: curved sabers derived from Mongolian types and swords with more straight blades, almost like the presented example but with the point of balance drastically shifted forward.
Sabers were popular in XIV and XV centuries in the Don river areas, and in XVI century they became a specialty weapon of the famous Cossacks. However, such blades still had balance point at 3 ¾ inches from the guard which is a sign of the relatively early stage of the evolution and makes this saber really comfortable for the unmounted sword fight. | weapons_science |

We understand the stress associated with the buying process!Since you’re here, you are obviously curious about Quiet Air Rifle Reviews. You’ve been bombarded with information, so you need to find a reputable source with credible options before you make any decisions on which product would be best for your needs.There are many sources that’ll provide you with that information- buying guides or ratings websites, word-of-mouth testimonials from friends or family members, online forums where users share their personal experiences, product reviews specifically found all over the internet and YouTube channels. Only thorough research will ensure that you get the right product.But that’s not always easy, right? That's why we've taken time to compile a list of the best Quiet Air Rifle in today's market, on your behalf, so that there will be no more worries for you.How did we come up with the list, you ask? How did we create this buying guide?
- First, our algorithms collected as much information available about these products from trusted sources.
- We employed both Artificial Intelligence and large data volume to validate all collected information.
- Then our AI ranked them on their quality-to-price ratio using industry-standard criteria that let us pick the best Quiet Air Rifle currently on the market!
- Brand Value: What happens when you go for a not-so-reputable brand just because the price seems cheap? Well, the chance of getting a short-lasting product goes higher. That’s because the renowned brands have a reputation to maintain, others don’t. Top Quiet Air Rifle brands try to offer some unique features that make them stand out in the crowd. Thus hopefully, you’ll find one ideal product or another in our list.
- Features: You don’t need heaps of features, but useful ones. We look at the features that matter and choose the top Quiet Air Rifle based on that.
- Specifications: Numbers always help you measure the quality of a product in a quantitative way. We try to find products of higher specifications, but with the right balance.
- Customer Ratings: The hundreds of customers using the Quiet Air Rifle before you won’t say wrong, would they? Better ratings mean better service experienced by a good number of people.
- Customer Reviews: Like ratings, customer reviews give you actual and trustworthy information, coming from real-world consumers about the Quiet Air Rifle they used.
- Seller Rank: Now, this is interesting! You don’t just need a good Quiet Air Rifle, you need a product that is trendy and growing in sales. It serves two objectives. Firstly, the growing number of users indicates the product is good. Secondly, the manufacturers will hopefully provide better quality and after-sales service because of that growing number.
- Value For The Money: They say you get what you pay for. Cheap isn’t always good. But that doesn’t mean splashing tons of money on a flashy but underserving product is good either. We try to measure how much value for the money you can get from your Quiet Air Rifle before putting them on the list.
- Durability: Durability and reliability go hand to hand. A robust and durable Quiet Air Rifle will serve you for months and years to come.
- Availability: Products come and go, new products take the place of the old ones. Probably some new features were added, some necessary modifications were done. What’s the point of using a supposedly good Quiet Air Rifle if that’s no longer continued by the manufacturer? We try to feature products that are up-to-date and sold by at least one reliable seller, if not several.
- Negative Ratings: Yes, we take that into consideration too! When we pick the top rated Quiet Air Rifle on the market, the products that got mostly negative ratings get filtered and discarded. | weapons_science |

Discussing the effectiveness of artillery, an article by J.W.T. Mason, “German Guns Have Range of Twenty-Six American Miles” addressed the advantages and shortcomings of long-range guns:
Count Von Zeppelin, defending the killing of civilians by airship, asks how it is possible to tell where even a cannon shell will strike.
“For instance,” he aded, “shells from the new Krupp guns have a reported range of 42 kilometers.”
Forty-two kilometers equal 26 American miles. Reports have been circulated since the outbreak of the war that Germany possesses guns competent to fire across the 22 miles of the Strait of Dover, but Count Von Zeppelin is the first German of recognized standing to confirm the rumor.
* * * *
The most effective artillery of the present war is the French “Soixante-quinze,” which is a 3-inch gun worked with maximum efficiency at a range of a few thousand yards. The 42-kilometer guns which the Germans used to destroy the forts at Liege, Antwerp and Maubeuge have been of little use in field operations. Artillery, as a matter of fact, can quickly overreach itself in the field. A gun with a range of 26 miles may find its principal utility in bombarding towns at a distance. But battles are not won by bombarding distant towns. The intervening army has to be driven off first. | weapons_science |

In einem Beitrag für die Jerusalem Post untersucht Benjamin Weinthal die Rolle Irans im syrischen Chemiewaffenprogramm:
According to a Jane’s report, Iran’s regime and its strategic partner the Assad regime accidentally caused an explosion while attempting to load a chemical warhead onto a Scud-C missile. It killed dozens of Syrian military personnel and Iranian engineers.
Once again, sarin gas, along with mustard gas and VX nerve gas, were at play in the 2007 explosion at the factory in Aleppo.
According to a WikiLeaks dispatch on Tehran’s role in chemical warfare, “New Zealand assesses that the cooperation is mainly driven by Iran’s desire for increased strategic importance in the region. New Zealand also assesses that Iran’s biotechnology sector is far more advanced than Syria’s, and Iran does not mind sharing its knowledge with Syria.”
The mounting evidence of the Islamic Republic’s role in developing Syria’s chemical warfare arsenal coincides with both countries’ efforts to modernize their biological and chemical weapons systems.
“Punishing Assad for use of chemical weapons is good. Regime change in Iran is the prize.”
Germany’s domestic intelligence agencies (the rough equivalent of the Shin Bet) revealed in reports last year that “so-called danger states, for example, Iran and North Korea, make efforts to obtain technology for atomic, biological or chemical weapons.”
Iran also seeks “missile delivery systems as well as goods and know-how for proliferation.” (...)
Contrary to Iran’s assertions that it abhors chemical weapons – and would never use nerve agents – growing evidence shows Tehran’s deep involvement in Assad’s nerve agent technology and role in this month’s attack in Khan Sheikhoun.
Sadly, missing from the heated debates over punishing Assad is Iran’s complicity.
Bill Kristol neatly captured the problem and solution on Twitter: “Punishing Assad for use of chemical weapons is good. Regime change in Iran is the prize.” | weapons_science |

In the largest mass shooting in U.S. history, 49 people were killed and 53 others were wounded at a gay nightclub in Orlando, Fla. early Sunday morning. The type of weapon that was used in the attack is shockingly easy to buy.
Police say Omar Mateen used a Sig Sauer MCX, a semiautomatic assault style rifle that is similar in appearance and capabilities to the better-known AR-15. The AR-15 has often been in the national spotlight as a weapon of choice for other mass shooters. The AR-15 is semi-automatic, reloading quickly and allowing shooters to fire as fast and as often as they can pull the trigger. The rifles are also relatively affordable and widely available, retailing for as low as $250 online, with an average price of about $1,000 and $2,000. In 2012, U.S. civilians were using an estimated 2.5 million and 3.7 million AR-15-type rifles, the Oregonian reported.
Florida gun laws, like those in many states, are more lax for larger weapons than they are for handguns. While there is a three-day waiting period for purchasing handguns, there's no waiting period between purchase and delivery of firearms, like the AR-15, that require two hands to hold.
It's likely the shooter, 29-year-old Omar Mateen of Port Lucie, Fla., faced few, if any, obstacles when he legally purchased the murder weapon several days before the shooting. Anyone over the age of 18 in Florida can purchase the gun, and the state of Florida does not require would-be gun owners to hold a license to own or buy a rifle, shotgun or handgun. Prospective rifle carriers need only fill out an identification form and pay $8 for a background check.
Floridian gun owners are protected by law from entering any state registry or keeping any sort of record for the guns they own. Once you own a gun in the Sunshine State, you aren't required to obtain a license or register your gun. Additionally, there are no background checks for gun sales between private individuals nor any special regulation on assault weapons.
The AR-15 is the most popular assault weapon in the country—and it's been used in previous mass shootings, Quartz reported. The same semi-automatic model used in Orlando was illegally modified and used to kill 14 people and wound 21 in the San Bernardino shootings in December 2015. It was also used to kill 26 people at Sandy Hook elementary school in Newtown, Conn. in 2012. Only six states—Massachusetts, New York, New Jersey, California, Maryland and Connecticut—restrict the use of the gun.
In 2014, parents of several children murdered at Newtown, Conn. filed a lawsuit against Remington Outdoor Company, the parent company of the manufacturer of the AR-15 used in the school shooting. They allege that the military-style gun never should have been made available to shooter Adam Lanza. However, the 2005 Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act protects gun-makers from civil lawsuits caused by "misuse of their products by others."

Sales of the AR-15 have spiked nationally in the wake of mass shootings. The increased demand was likely spurred by lawmakers' threats to limit citizens' access to assault rifles. In Greater Orlando, prices for the AR-15 doubled in the month after the Sandy Hook attacks, the Orlando Sentinel reported. Shares of firearm manufacturers rose in premarket trading Monday.
Correction: The original version of this story incorrectly described the gun used in the Orlando shooting. It was a Sig Sauer MCX, a semiautomatic assault style rifle that is similar in appearance and capabilities to the better-known AR-15. | weapons_science |

While the all-women crew is circumnavigating the planet, 20 women war-fighters are onboard the Navy’s superior anti-submarine warfare aircraft, the US-built Poseidon 8-India (P-8I). The Navy uses the aircraft to trace Chinese warships and submarines in the Indian Ocean.
Initially, the Navy inducted women as observers in 2009. As they gained experience, they advanced to the position of system specialists. The seniormost woman combat aviator has now reached the rank of commander.
The mode of operation for this task is the eight P-8Is that India ordered from the US in a $2.1 billion deal. INS Rajali in Arakonnam near Chennai have housed the aircraft. Above that four additional jets worth $1 billion are on order from Boeing in the US.
“Mission Assigned, Mission Accomplished is our motto,” say the women war-fighters
The women officers operating on P-8s and Il-38s will have access to all key censors, including weapon system. So in case of conflict, if they have to attack enemy submarines or fight with warships, they can approach the torpedoes and missiles. And being combat aviators, it also exposes them to life threat by a missile if it hits their aircraft.

Navy’s chief of personnel, Vice Admiral AK Chawla believes in the women’s capability. “In fact, in the Services Selection Boards, inevitably the top people are the women officers. We go purely by merit,” he said.
The women combat aviators on a Navy P-8 plane recently played a pivotal role in finding an empty life-raft off the Philippines. The 57,000 ton vessel, the MV Emerald Star, had gone missing with 26 Indian sailors on board. Of these, 10 remain missing and are presumed dead. However, the Navy rescued the remaining 16 members after acting on a distress call.
The task of combing the Indian Ocean for unfriendly military vessels is routine for the P-8I crew. The women aviators take about four hours in performing the gigantic mission. They monitor sea-search radars and magnetic anomaly detectors that can track down submarines
They “use data available on their systems and plot target for AGM-84L Harpoon Block II missiles that can hit a target out at sea more than 250 km away. Similarly, once detected, an Mk 54 Lightweight torpedo can take out the enemy submarine,” reported NDTV.
Navy’s P-8Is are considered as India’s most capable first responders to any naval threat. The Navy has deployed them to keep a check on Chinese presence on the Indian Ocean.

Modern military helmets can only protect shell fragments, submachine guns, and pistol bullet shots from shooting from a certain distance. The protective power of rifles, machine guns and other heavy infantry weapons depends on the firearm’s performance (the data varies greatly due to different artefacts). Generally saying, the helmet cannot withstand direct hits from rifle and machine gun bullets at a relatively close distance.
- In today’s scenario, new military helmets are mainly made of laminated Kevlar fabric or other materials such as resin-reinforced fabrics, which are lighter in weight, have a larger protective area, are more comfortable to wear and have new improvements in anti-ballistic performance.
- Ballistic helmets are mainly used to prevent military personnel or any law enforcement authority from bomb fragments and stray bullets. However, if the person is aimed at and shot directly, even if the helmet is not pierced, the huge kinetic energy will stun the person. The latest types of ballistic helmets and bulletproof vests can’t stop direct shots at close range.
- Several suppliers sell level iiia helmet and similar fragmentation-level helmets. Head protection, including the face, has been produced for protection against greater blast/fragmentation or bullet threats. The bounding consideration prevents the transmission of a shock wave to the brain. A second thing to consider is the need to limit the weight of the helmet as it will be borne entirely by the neck.
Difference between a Bump and a Ballistic Helmet?
A ballistic helmet is made to shield the wearer from tiny, quickly moving metal particles, such as tiny bullet rounds and shell shards.
A bump helmet is a especial equipment designed to protect from low-speed projectiles, like bumping your head on a low beam or shrapnel.
Bump helmets are lighter in weight and can have a lot of ventilation openings. Ballistic helmets will have fewer vent holes or none at all. They will have a solid shell of metal or composite that would resist penetration, whereas a bump helmet will be light plastic.
Are Bulletproof Helmets Effective? Do They Protect The Face?
Most contemporary military helmets provide protection against pistol caliber bullets and fragmentation/ricochets of rifle rounds. However, ballistic helmets won’t protect against a rifle projectile head on. Regardless of whether the helmet is impenetrable, it is difficult to deflect rifle shots. Additionally, stronger helmets would be far too heavy to be useful.
Although they seldom include face protection, it is possible to purchase “facial shields” made of bulletproof glass that will shelter the wearer from the same dangers as helmets do. Because they are cumbersome to wear and heavy, they are often only employed in a relatively small number of circumstances.
Bulletproof helmets do not only exist, but they are also available to everyone. Modern military helmets can effectively deflect bullets and protect the person’s head, though the helmets do not completely protect the head. Face shields are a common requirement for military personnel to protect their faces from flying objects. The helmets are designed to protect the skull from pistol caliber impacts and ricochets of rifle round.
However, most of the helmets available in the market may not protect against a direct attack. Even when the helmets save the skull, there is a chance of injury. The bullet can penetrate the helmet and cause mild injury to the skull or even cause severe brain damage.
Bulletproof PASGT helmets are a safety precaution that can keep you safe in many cases when the speed of the bullet is not too fast and the distance from where the bullet is aimed is not too small. They are available and can be bought through the sites that export items globally. | weapons_science |

From our firearms instructors on the EFT Team, our answer is always along the lines of “Consistent, Intentional Dry Fire.”
Just as fitness is the foundation for survival and requires consistent, intentional reps in the weight room, dry fire is the foundation upon which all shooting skills can be built. From precision rifle (PR) to pistol shooting and everything in between, dry fire, dry fire, dry fire will help you see results. Shooters like Ben Stoeger, JJ Racaza and Rob Leatham all attribute much of their success to properly applied dry fire.

Some of the weapons systems that will be used in a future war are still in development. Some might not exist yet, but getting too crazy sci-fi could derail things, so I’ve got to strike a balance. One of those systems that I introduce in Escalation is the M5 Powell Infantry Fighting Vehicle. This is set up as the replacement for the M2 Bradley IFV, which has been in service since 1981. Now, there is an M2 replacement in the works. The Army calls it the Next Generation Combat Vehicle program, and the Request For Proposals went out in March of this year. Right at the moment, there are three major contenders, the BAE Systems CV90 Mk IV, the Rheinmetall and Raytheon Lynx IFV, and the General Dynamics Griffin III.
I’ve had to do some research into possible near-future weapons systems for a couple of series, now. If you’ve read The Colonel Has A Plan, you might have noticed that the Marines under Colonel John Brannigan are using M27s and LSAT machineguns instead of the current M4s and M249s or M240s. Similarly, the Marines at Camp David in Lex Talionis are armed with M27s. Now, arming Marines with M27s is an easy choice, since the Marine Corps recently announced a wider deployment of the glorified HK 416s, but it touches on a common theme when writing near-future military fiction. Including new weapons and gear that isn’t necessarily in common use yet helps to establish your setting. | weapons_science |

What gun does Daniel Craig use in James Bond?
Walther PPKMost famously, 007 traditionally carries the Walther PPK (Polizei Pistole Kriminal) , though from ‘Tomorrow Never Dies’ until Daniel Craig’s first outing in ‘Casino Royale’ , he adopts the bigger, plastic-framed Walther P99..
How accurate is a Walther PPK?
The PPK is a fine pistol with a proven design, and in the right hands it’s quite accurate. My son, with good eyes and steady hands, can knock cans off a fence post at 25 to 35 yards all day long with his. If you are shopping for one, I would recommend a PPK/S in . 380 ACP for self-defense (.
What does the S in PPK S stand for?
The PPK is the original and has been around for almost 80 years. The 1968 gun control act crushed imports into the US. This is where we saw the introduction of the PPK/s where the S stands for sport. It could have just as easily stand for Stupid Law.
Can a Walther PPK shoot 9mm?
Your PPK is chambered for the . 380 and you should not try to use a full size 9mm (9x19mm) round in it. What is etched into the slide is simply German for “9mm Short”, which is another name for the . 380 ACP cartridge.
What pistol does Delta Force carry?
Glock 17sDelta is now using 9mm Glock 17s, 19s and 34s. The 75th Ranger Regiment and Special Forces units use M9A1s and Glock 19s. SEAL Teams mostly use the Sig Sauer 226. DEVGRU, or SEAL Team 6, does use Heckler & Koch .
Are Walther pistols any good?
The guns from Walther are popular with European police and foreign militaries, but their success in these overseas markets hasn’t translated into a similar interest here in America. That’s a shame because the Walther pistols are excellent guns ‒ probably the best service pistols you’ve never fired.
Does Walther still make PPK?
Since 2018, PPK and PPK/S models have been built in Fort Smith, Arkansas, at the factory of US-based subsidiary Walther Arms, Inc. The PP and the PPK were among the world’s first successful double action semi-automatic pistols. They are still manufactured by Walther and have been widely copied.
Does James Bond use a PPK or PPKs?
The Walther PPK was the weapon of choice for James Bond from the films Dr. No to Tomorrow Never Dies (except Moonraker and Octopussy) and again in Quantum of Solace, SkyFall and SPECTRE and probably No Time To Die. The gun is also mentioned in the Ian Fleming novels from Dr. No to The Man with the Golden Gun.
How does James Bond carry his gun?
No, a certain Major Boothroyd recommends that Bond switch guns. Bond is issued a Walther PPK but is told to carry it in a Berns-Martin triple draw holster, which is designed only to carry revolvers.
Why is the Walther PPK so expensive?
The Walther PPK is all-steel construction. The Walther PPK must be manufactured in the United States. Importation of the PPK to the U.S. has been prohibited since the Gun Control Act of 1968. This means PPKs for the American market cannot be made in a low-labor-cost country.
Which is more powerful a 380 or 9mm?
380 both have the same diameter bullet, but the 9mm casing and overall length is longer. The . 380 has less recoil so is popular with concealable handguns while the 9mm is more powerful and has more recoil. Both can be great defensive calibers if ammo is properly chosen.
What handgun has the best stopping power?
Here are some great options.Ruger SP101: $549.99. When it comes to home-defense handguns, you want stopping power. … S&W Governor: $769.99. … Glock 19: $539.99. … Beretta M9A1: $678.00. … Colt Close Quarter Battle Pistol (CQBP): $1,300+ … Glock 41 Gen4: $635.00. … Sig Sauer P226 MK-25: $1,099,99. … Ruger GP100: $729.99.More items…•
What caliber was James Bond’s PPK?
The Walther PPK meets to the following specifications: Calibre: 7.65mm. Capacity: 6 rounds. Length in total: 6.7 inches.
What handgun does CIA use?
While the Glock 19, with its 9mm rounds, is the most popular choice, operators have access to a wide variety of calibers within the Glock platform of pistols. Sig Sauer’s P228 is another favorite. It is commonly used by many forces such as the Navy Seals and the CIA. It functions well, even when wet, and is compact.
Should I buy a Walther PPK?
First let me say that IMHO, the PPK is a fine gun and every collection should have one. They are well, handle easily and are functionally reliable and accurate. The PPK is a little harder to come by than the PPK/S and will probably cost a bit more. Walther produced guns will be at the highest price.
Is skyfall a sequel to Quantum of Solace?
Casino Royale, Quantum of Solace, and Skyfall are actually a “prequel trilogy”. … Casino Royale was the first of Fleming’s works, and the movie plot mirrors all it’s key events. Quantam of Solace, while a bond short story, is completely unrelated to the movie in plot and details. Skyfall is not a book by Flemming.
Do CIA agents tell their family?
In order to protect sources and methods, and in the interest of maintaining national security, most CIA employees can’t discuss their work, even with family.
Is a Walther PPK good for self defense?
Yes, the Walther PPK/S . 380ACP is an effective self defense firearm. Many instructors/writers recommend not going smaller than a . 380 for defense.
What gun does the FBI use?
Glock pistolIn 1996, the FBI adopted a Glock pistol chambered in . 40 S&W and has since fielded a number of variants. The FBI’s elite Hostage Rescue Team (HRT), however, uses others weapons.
What was James Bond’s first gun?
Beretta 418Genesis. Bond’s first firearm was a diminutive Beretta 418 chambered in . 25ACP. This tiny little pocket gun armed 007 through Fleming’s first five tomes.
Is PPK a good gun?
The PPK/S features the short slide of the Walther PPK and full-length grip of the PP. The PPK/S is not a bad gun at all. … The PPK is a fine gun. However, if you have fired the full-size, original PP pistol, you will realize that the PPK is a great shooter, easy to manage and accurate. | weapons_science |

If not handled appropriately, old and unused ammunition can pose serious problems. In this post, we'll look at the significance of safe munitions disposal and present responsible choices that can safeguard both the environment and persons.
The Dangers of Keeping Old Ammo
Consider finding a neglected box of ammunition boxes in the corner of your garage or attic. While it may be tempting to utilize outdated or deteriorated ammo, doing so can be exceedingly harmful. Ammo can rust, become unstable, and even misfire over time, resulting in accidents and potential damage.
Identifying Old and Unsafe Ammo
It is critical to identify outdated ammo in order to dispose of it safely. On the casings or bullets, look for rust, discoloration, or damage. If you come across any strange ammo, it's advisable to dispose of it appropriately rather than risking your life.
Why Proper Disposal Matters
Responsible munitions disposal is more than just a matter of convenience; it has far-reaching consequences for the environment and public safety. When ammunition is not disposed of properly, it might wind up in landfills, where harmful compounds leach into the soil and water. Furthermore, incorrectly kept or disposed of ammunition might endanger waste management staff and even scavengers.
Safe Disposal Methods
There are various safe methods for disposing of used ammunition. One of the better solutions is to take it to a local ammo collection point or recycling center. Many municipalities have scheduled days for ammo drop-offs, making the process as simple as possible.
Donating Unused Ammo
Consider donating outdated but serviceable ammunition to a local shooting club or charitable group if you stumble upon it. They can utilize it responsibly or divert it to the proper channels, preventing information from falling into the wrong hands.
Working with Local Authorities
It is critical to understand and follow local restrictions before disposing of obsolete munitions. To guarantee proper disposal in some places, you may need to work with law enforcement or waste management agencies.
Disassembling Ammo for Disposal
If you know a lot about ammunition and firearms, you might want to disassemble old ammo before throwing it away. However, it is critical to exercise caution because certain types of ammunition are more dangerous and may require professional handling.
Creative Reuse of Ammo Boxes
Empty ammunition boxes do not have to be thrown away. Repurpose them for storage by being inventive. They can be used to store small tools, art equipment, or as unique ornamental pieces.
Recycling Ammo Components
Ammunition consists of various components like casings and bullets, which can be recycled. Recycling helps minimize environmental impact and reduces the need for raw materials.
Burying or Burning Ammo: A Bad Idea
Some people may consider burying or burning old ammunition packaging as a form of disposal, although this is strongly discouraged. These procedures can pollute the environment and may not completely render the munitions inert.
Community Engagement and Awareness
Raise awareness about the potential consequences of incorrect ammunition disposal in your community to promote safe ammunition disposal. Organize workshops or campaigns to educate others about ethical practices.
The Role of Gun Shops and Ranges
Gun shops and shooting ranges can be quite helpful in promoting safe ammo disposal. They can serve as collection stations or provide customers with information on suitable disposal techniques.
Best Practices for Long-Term Storage
To prevent ammunition from becoming outdated quickly, store it in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Use appropriate ammunition boxes, like .50 caliber ammo boxes, to keep them in optimal condition.
The proper disposal of outdated ammunition is critical for both personal safety and environmental health. We can contribute to a safer and cleaner neighborhood by using responsible disposal methods and encouraging others to do the same.
Can I use old ammunition for target practice? Using old ammunition for target practice is highly discouraged as it can be unreliable and pose safety risks. It's best to use fresh and reliable ammunition for shooting activities.
Is it legal to dispose of ammunition with regular household waste? No, it is not legal to dispose of ammunition with regular household waste. It should be treated as hazardous waste and disposed of following proper guidelines.
Can I donate old ammunition to a thrift store or charity shop? No, donating old ammunition to thrift stores or charity shops is not safe or legal. Instead, find appropriate organizations or shooting clubs that can handle ammunition donations responsibly.
What should I do if I find corroded ammunition? If you discover corroded ammunition, avoid handling it directly. Place it in a sturdy container and contact local authorities or a hazardous waste disposal facility for guidance.
Can I dismantle ammunition on my own? Dismantling ammunition can be dangerous and should only be attempted by those with proper knowledge and training. If in doubt, seek professional assistance or use safe disposal methods. | weapons_science |

Overall this revolver is a good example for the collector with signs of professional carry, yet mechanically it is as good as new.
Barrel length = 6.5 inches
Overall length = 12.5 inches
Remington Rolling Block Hunting Carbine, c.1875A scarce Remington Rolling Block carbine chambered for the obsolete .32 rimfire cartridge. Having a fully working action, good woodwork and a heavy hexagonal barrel that is fitted with adjustable sights.
With signs of service wear, this carbine has seen a lot of use but remains cosmetically good and in decent overall condition with clear Remington address and patent details.
Short Sea Service Tower Pattern Pistol, c.1844A Tower marked Board of Ordnance Sea Service pistol, dated to 1844, which bears clear inspector's stamps to the woodwork and the stocker's name, "Cutler & Son". The barrel is heavily stamped with the usual plethora of acceptance and proof marks but most interestingly, the trigger guard bowl is additionally impressed with a crown emblem over the letter "D" and the butt tang is engraved, "2B N4", the significance of which is not known.
Cosmetically the pistol is very good, with no sign of damage or repair and the lock is fully functioning with a very strong action.
A good example of this sought after pistol, which has most likely been service issued.
Custom Moose Frontier Bushcraft Knife By A. S. HardingA premium moose handled Frontier knife, designed and made by Tony Harding. Bearing his "ASH" logo, this robust bushcraft knife has a 4mm thick blade and Scandi grind.
This Frontier knife is brand new, although Harding has given it an aged appearance by acid etching the blade and embellishing it with a wayfarer's compass rose. It comes super sharp, protected by a gorgeous handmade leather sheath, wet moulded and fitted to the knife.
Made from O1 heat-treated carbon steel, Harding's knives are of premium quality and when married to moose scales, there's something very Wild West about this one.
Having used Harding's knives myself, I can attest to their functionality and outstanding build quality. A great collector's knife, or a blade to use for all manner of camp work.

W. Tranter Japanned Bullet TinA genuine japanned "W. Tranter" bullet tin in good condition. Retaining most of its black finish and original green trade label - slightly dulled but with clear text.
Radway Green .303 Military Drill RoundsProduction of the D Mark 10 .303 drill round commenced at Radway Green in 1950, although the cartridge was not accepted into service until 1954. The cartridge was similar to its predecessors but the bullet was traditionally seated using a crimped rim. In continuous use, this seating method soon allowed the bullet to recede into the case.
The clip has four drill rounds - three are dated 1950, whilst the other is 1951 dated. All are in used condition, however two have some dints and one of the heads has started to recede.
Code: 51073Price: 8.00 GBP
WW2 Dagger Jack Knife By NowillKnown to the War Department as, "Knives, Dagger Jack - Plain", these knives have only a single locking blade. Issued among Commandos and possibly some SOE operatives, this one is lightly marked "Nowill & Son".
The knife is complete but it has service wear throughout and staining to the blade - Grip scales are undamaged.
Blade length = 3½ inches
Overall length closed = 5 inches
Falklands War - Hopkins MOD Survival KnifeA Falklands War era military survival knife: Originally made by Wilkinson Sword and Joseph Rodgers, these hefty knives are still part of the MOD inventory. Designated by the military as "Survival Knives," they are most useful when chopping branches, splitting logs, prying, levering, digging, gouging, drilling, hammering and generally being the most versatile piece of kit when it comes to outdoor survival.
A Jack-of-all-trades, this knife feature a one-piece full-length tang and a 5mm blade rib. Being in sleepy condition, the knife has been lightly used, but has no sign of abuse. The wood grip is stamped with the "H" mark in a diamond, identifying the maker as Hopkins of Sheffield. The knife comes with a factory dull cutting edge but this can be improved upon if required.
Cosmetically the knife has a protective black phosphate finish to all the steel parts. Grips are of wood with heavy duty copper rivets. These are further stamped with a stock number, plus broad arrow mark and 1982 date. The knife is retained in its rare original leather sheath, which is also military stamped, just the same as when first produced in the late 1950's.
Probably the most robust survival knife ever.

That is the question you should be asking yourself when thinking about nuclear weapons and their impact upon society. Many of the anti-war mindset say just get rid of them; they are more of a menace and in no form a blessing. Those of that mantra say that no matter what occurs, war should never happen. For those type of people all I can say is remember Pearl Harbor!
The case for getting rid of our nuclear arsenal is the goal of many groups such as the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament, a British based organization. Their goals are to get rid of all nuclear based items, be they arms or power generators. To me they do not understand that there is a need, at least for now, for both nuclear power and weapons. I will stick to the weapons side and just say that while I am not for the use of these so called Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD) they do have a function in that they do make other governments think twice about attacking us. The policy/theory of “Assured Mutual Destruction” (MAD) has been around since the days of the Cold War with the old Soviet Union and it did work. Per Wikipedia “It is based on the theory of deterrence, which holds that the threat of using strong weapons against the enemy prevents the enemy’s use of those same weapons. The strategy is a form of Nash equilibrium in which, once armed, neither side has any incentive to initiate a conflict or to disarm.” Now just let me cite a more modern day example of deterrence, while China is our trading partner/friend (at least for now) our having the “bomb” prevents them from using their overwhelming troop strength to invade us and rape our country of its natural resources.
Proponents of the idea of “MAD as part of U.S. and USSR strategic doctrine believed that nuclear war could best be prevented if neither side could expect to survive a full-scale nuclear exchange as a functioning state. Since the credibility of the threat is critical to such assurance, each side had to invest substantial capital in their nuclear arsenals even if they were not intended for use. In addition, neither side could be expected or allowed to adequately defend itself against the other’s nuclear missiles. This led both to the hardening and diversification of nuclear delivery systems (such as nuclear missile silos, ballistic missile submarines, and nuclear bombers kept at fail-safe points) and to the Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty.” It has worked in the past and continues to do so as long as the leaders of government are not crazy, like the Kim il Jun (the leader of North Korea) who is (in non psychobabble) just plain nuts!
Those who think peace should come at any cost are very unrealistic in their outlook and do not take into account our warrior based past, after all we are not advanced as those people on the “Star Trek” were supposed to be and even then they did use WMD to defeat/protect themselves.
And then there are those do not think that WMDs are something to get rid of, but something that is still needed in our 21st Century world. Per Foreign Policy– “The writing is already on the wall. Russia, China, India, Pakistan, and North Korea are modernizing or expanding their nuclear arsenals, and Iran is vigorously pursuing its own nuclear capability. As Yale University political scientist Paul Bracken notes, we are entering a “second nuclear age” in which “the whole complexion of global power politics is changing because of the reemergence of nuclear weapons as a vital element of statecraft and power politics.” Nostalgia for simpler times can be seductive, but the United States needs a nuclear force that can protect it from the challenges that lie ahead.”
So in conclusion the use of the atomic bomb on Hiroshima and Nagasaki was justified because thousands of soldiers lives were saved, both US and Japanese. Since then there has not been an incident where we or anyone else has used their nuclear arsenal. We have come close, but thanks to cool heads nothing happened. While I too would like to see a nuclear free world, it is just not realistic for the world we live in. And about President Obama visiting Hiroshima and saying that he wants to see the destruction of all nuclear weapons is just unrealistic. I am glad he realizes that the United States use of the bomb during WWII was justified and requires no apology from us to Japan. Let us all hope no one ever uses a WMD is ever used.

|Title:||Assessing Japan's nuclear debate||Authors:||Yang, Guang||Keywords:||DRNTU::Social sciences::Military and naval science::Strategy::Asia||Issue Date:||2008||Abstract:||The possibility of Japan's going nuclear is a hot and interesting topic resent years especially after North Korea conducted its first nuclear test. Given the profound changes of security environment, more and more Japanese officials began to openly urge government to consider breaking with existing non-nuclear policies by developing its won nuclear capabilities. As a result, nuclear debate is no longer a taboo in Japan. What is the implication of such open debates? Will Japan go nuclear in the future? After examining some important factors such as public opinion, security environment, U.S. role and extended nuclear deterrence, and consequence of nuclearizatin of Japan, the dissertation draws a conclusion that Japan is unlikely to go nuclear because: majority of Japanese people still support non-nuclear policy; external nuclear threats remain under control; U.S. does not want to see a nuclear Japan and the credibility of U.S. nuclear umbrella is still reliable; and the loss of nuclear armament overweight the gain.||URI:||http://hdl.handle.net/10356/38783||Fulltext Permission:||restricted||Fulltext Availability:||With Fulltext|

5000 years ago (around 2800 BC), the Egyptians (a group named Hyksos) created the composite bow. This is the forerunner of today's recurve/Olympic bow.
Not only did the Hyksos introduce the composite bow into Egypt, they also introduced the horse. Eventually this would lead to the invention of the horse drawn chariot which was the most crucial adaptation to Egyptian warfare.
Each chariot had a driver and a soldier who was armed with a spear, shield and composite bow. On the chariot was a quiver full of arrows for fast reloading, together with axes and javelins.
In some ancient reliefs we see that the driver of the chariot also served as an archer and therefore had to be protected by a shield. The reigns of the chariot are shown strapped around the waist of the driver-come-archer.
The chariot gave battlefield mobility and allowed them to chase after the retreating enemy - the killing ability was enhanced by the archer. In 1209BC, (New Kingdom) Merneptah, son of Ramses II used his archers, both on foot and mounted on chariots, to defeat the Libyans killing approximately 9,400 Libyans in the battle. | weapons_science |

The passive radar is the excellent weapon in the modern war. The passive radar is hard to be verified in the real war-game due to its expense, which hampers the research and development of it. The simulation platform of the passive radar seeker is usually adopted to solve the above problem. This paper presents a method of video signal simulation for the passive radar seeker. The simulation platform has been built up, which gives evidence to the typical warfare environment, the experimental results show that the model of the passive radar seeker could be reliable and effective.

Sea-skimming, hard-to-detect ASMs like the Harpoon and Exocet, which can be launched from aircraft, surface warships or submarines, are one of the greatest hazards a surface warship faces. The LR-SAM provides effective protection against the newest generation of these anti-ship missiles.
The MR-SAM, which uses the same missile as the LR-SAM, but a different radar and control systems, protects ground-based targets like air bases and army units. It detects incoming enemy aircraft while they are well over a hundred kilometres away and destroys them at ranges out to 70 kilometres.
The DRDO told Business Standard that the Indian Air Force (IAF) is the lead service for the MR-SAM development project, contributing 90 per cent of the Rs 10,075 crore development cost. However, the Indian Army has also come on board, convinced of the value of this system.
In March 2009, the IAF signed a contract for 18 MR-SAM fire units (each equipped with 24 missiles), which were to be delivered by October 2016. But with the first test having been conducted only last June, it is estimated that the MR-SAM will enter IAF service only by 2018.
The LR-SAM, in contrast, has already equipped the Indian Navy’s new Kolkata-class destroyers. In December 2015, INS Kolkata successfully tested two LR-SAM missiles. Now, with INS Vikrant scheduled to be commissioned next year, it will be fitted with the LR-SAM.
Besides the lucrative market for air defence systems, Israel is a big player in the “unmanned aerial vehicle” segment, having supplied Searcher drones to the Indian military, and an order for the Heron-TP armed drones being processed currently.
Also in the pipeline are two Israeli Phalcon Airborne Warning and Control Systems (AWACS), which are essentially powerful airborne radars mounted on the Ilyushin-76 transport aircraft. Besides the flying crew, an AWACS carriers “fighter controllers”, who observe enemy aircraft movement in a range of several hundred kilometres, and direct friendly aircraft sorties to respond to that.
Israel’s success in the Indian defence market is remarkable, considering that it does not supply lucrative “capital platforms” like warships, aircraft and tanks. It supplies mainly “systems”, that enhance the performance of capital platforms supplied by other countries.

This is the primary rule of gun safety. A "safe direction" means that the gun is pointed so that even if it were to go off it would not cause injury or damage. The key to this rule is to control where the muzzle or front end of the barrel is pointed at all times. Common sense dictates the safest direction, depending on different circumstances.
When holding a gun, people have a natural tendency to place their finger on the trigger. Don't do it! Rest your finger on the trigger guard or along the side of the gun. Until you are actually ready to fire, do not touch the trigger.
Whenever you pick up a gun, immediately open the action and look into the chamber(s) which should be clear of ammunition. (If the gun has a magazine, remove it before opening the action and make sure it is empty.) If you do not know how to open the action or inspect the chamber(s), leave the gun alone and get help from someone who does.
Regular cleaning is important in order for your gun to operate correctly and safely. Taking proper care of it will also maintain its value and extend its life. Your gun should be cleaned every time that it is used.
A gun brought out of prolonged storage should also be cleaned before shooting. Accumulated moisture and dirt, or solidified grease and oil, can prevent the gun from operating properly.
Before cleaning your gun, make absolutely sure that it is unloaded. The gun's action should be open during the cleaning process. Also be sure that no ammunition is present.

Have the target leaning toward the shooter at an approximate 20 degree angle to help deflect fragments down instead of back at the shooter. Make sure the target can move with impact. Movement allows transfer of energy instead of the plate taking all the energy which helps your plates last longer.
Bullet fragments can be cast towards shooter or spectators, it is advisable that shooter and spectators wear safety glasses, ear protection and appropriate clothing for protection.
Hanging the target with the target face pointed slightly downward will help direct the bullet splatter down and reduce the risk of injury See pictures above
Never use armor piercing (AP), steel core, steel jacket, 100% copper, or other hardened bullets. They will damage the target and may cause injury.
Shoot steel targets straight on as possible
Never use BB's, pellets, or air soft, they do not have the force to splatter and will bounce back.
Be aware that the bullet (lead splatter) may be hot. To reduce risk of fire, do not use in dry grass or vegetation. If you do, make sure there are no hot spots before you leave!
Use Steel Targets at own risk, Shooting steel targets can be dangerous.
Minimum pistol distance of 15 yds, Max. 1500 f.p.s lead ammo
Minimum rifle distance of 100 yds, Max. 3000 f.p.s.
If target becomes bent, cracked, or damaged in any way shop shooting it and replace it.
Do not weld or modify plate.

AR500 SHOOTING RULES
Question: What ammo can I shoot your targets with?
Answer: Our targets are 3/8 AR500 Plate certified to no less than 500 Brinell hardness. You can shoot our targets with any pistol or rifle round that has an impact speed of less than 3000 fps. For example .223 usually has a muzzle velocity of 3200 fps so place your target out to a distance that will have the bullet traveling at 3000 fps or less at impact. We do not recommend .50 bmg, 12 gauge or .338 Lapua for our targets. Minimum shooting distances are 15 yards pistol, 100 yards rifle.
Question: How do you cut your targets?
Answer: We use a CNC Plasma Machine that cuts the targets submerged in a water bath to keep the steel cool and minimize HAZ - Heat Affected Zone.
Question: I heard that cutting AR500 with plasma was bad is that True?
Answer: No that is not true. We use a submerged cutting technique
to keep the steel cool and have done extensive testing to ensure that

The Al-Bawaaba Security Force is a local defence force patterned after the Albion Army's Infantry units. It's primary role is to assist local law enforcement and perform border security, shifting to a defensive “fight until relieved” footing in the event of an invasion. Every member of the ABSF is a regular full time soldier and can be deployed throughout the province in contrast to the local police teams.
In terms of training, ABSF units frequently rotate through the main Albion Defence Colleges, using training exercises to improve coordination with the Empire’s and become used to large scale engagements featuring armoured vehicles, artillery and air support. Back at home, observers have noticed how intensely ABSF soldiers are trained in the more mountainous regions; a highlight being the notorious Serpent Test, a 10 mile march at high altitude in full kit which includes terrain such as loose shale slopes, thick forests and, as deemed by the name, the traditional range of the local viper population.
The ABSF also recruits a large number of former Albion Army soldiers, specifically targeting senior enlisted and offering them officer positions along with recruiting enlisted with a significant pay increase. These “Alzubun” soldiers are spread throughout the ABSF, often getting time with several units in order to spread their skillset around. After their initial terms of service conclude, they are then offered to become Al-Bawaaba citizens, allowing them to settle in the province on a more permanent basis.
Equipment wise, the ABSF takes on second line equipment from the Albion Army such as the L85 assault rifles and older patterns of body armour. Despite its age, all of the equipment is well maintained and in working order. Recently, the L85 rifles went through a repair process, bringing them closer in quality to the standard rifles of the Albion Army including the purchase of several rail kits to allow the mounting of force multipliers such as grips and lasers. Currently these kits are only issued to those ABSF teams based in the towns and cities of Al-Bawaaba, leaving rural units to soldier on the battered green plastic handguards. In terms of support weapons, ABSF infantry sections can access Light Machine Guns, GPMGs and underslung grenade launchers, with limited numbers of bolt action marksman rifles issued to the better shots.
The ABSF has not received the Armoured Patrol Vehicles that the rest of the Albion Empire has introduced. Instead, armoured humvees are still the most common military vehicle, capable of withstanding small arms fire and mounting a mix of Heavy Machine Guns and Multiple Grenade Launchers. The age of these Humvees is becoming a concern - it is not uncommon for “Alzubun” soldiers to often find their vehicle still sporting graffiti on the inside from before they were seized during the Civil War. | weapons_science |

It wasn’t a fully hashed out view of mine which was careless and unfortunate because I got a flood of emails from people on both sides who thought I was overlooking important points. Which I was, because it was a short blog post. The most common response was that I was not actually proposing anything. Which is true. I think this is an impossible issue to solve because I think it’s a serious cultural problem that is so embedded in the fabric of “being American” that it could take generations to solve.
But I think that touches on an important point when thinking about solutions here – why is this such a difficult issue to fix? I like to think in terms of first principles because understanding something for what it is allows me to better understand how it can be used and potentially improved. So let’s hash this one out a bit more thinking in terms of first principles because I think that sets the table for potential changes.
Why This is an Impossible Issue to Solve
Gun makers did something very clever when they created guns like the AR-15 (which, by the way is not one type of gun, but a whole bunch of different types of the same general weapon). They created a weapon that is functionally not much different from a standard hunting rifle, but appears to be the same as a gun like the M-4 which is a military style fully automatic weapon. The important difference is that the M-4 is a true assault weapon – it can be utilized as both a semi and automatic weapon. The AR is not an automatic weapon nor is it properly classified as an “assault rifle”. It’s just a cool looking hunting rifle.
To better understand this important point, here’s a Remington 742 which is a semi that looks like a regular old wooden hunting rifle. You can unload a large magazine in a few seconds. And here’s the AR-15. These guns look very different, but they’re not functionally that different. And here’s where this discussion gets really tricky – here’s a Glock with a 50 round mag. Which semi-automatic is the most dangerous? Well, in the right hands that’s a difficult question to answer.
So you have a real problem here – “assault rifles” are already banned so the Left needs to stop screaming about them. But can we realistically ban “semi-automatic” weapons when the range of semis is so wide (and vague) that it could include almost any modern day hunting rifle and pistol? I say no because Americans love their guns too much and the category of “semi-automatic” is so vast that it can’t realistically be applied in a useful sense.
Now, a huge problem here is that the vast majority of Liberals and even many Conservatives don’t know the difference between a semi, an automatic or an assault rifle and they use these terms interchangeably. To a gun rights advocate you lose the debate the second you start calling an AR-15 an “assault rifle” because an assault rifle is a specific type of rifle that can be used as both a semi and an automatic. The AR is just a semi. So you lose the debate the second you get that fact wrong because you clearly don’t know what is being discussed.
This creates a problem for any advocate of gun reform because the AR is just a hunting rifle that looks cool. These maniacs killing people don’t really need to be using it, but it’s a pretty good weapon for mass killings and it looks cool so that’s my best guess as to why it’s the gun of choice. But in all reality there’s no reason why you couldn’t use a couple of handguns or other hunting rifles and inflict just as much damage.
More importantly, this confusion strengthens the branding that the gun advocates have created. Gun advocates want everyone to think that guns aren’t killing machines. They want everyone to think that they’re just sporting tools. That’s obviously bullshit since guns were literally invented to kill human beings. Guns are human killing machines that just so happen to serve as fun sporting tools as well. When you allow the distinction between sporting tools and killing machines to be established you strengthen the NRA’s case because a sporting tool can be reasonably protected while a killing machine can’t.
We shouldn’t obfuscate on this point. Guns are designed to kill human beings. That was always their intended purpose. The fact that they can be used for other things is tangential to their essence as a human killing machine. This is a point that needs to be emphasized because it is the essential first principle of the invention of guns.
The problem, in my opinion, is that we’ve lost sight of this first principle and confused guns for sporting toys. Decades of clever marketing has created a world in which a gun is now widely perceived as a toy instead of a killing machine. This marketing has embedded political and historical aspects to strengthen the misleading idea that guns are just sporting toys. And this myth has become so embedded in our culture and our politics that we now have more guns than people in the USA. And the data is very clear on that – more guns = more gun deaths. So, even if you could somehow ban semi-automatic weapons (which you can’t because, see above) then you still have an egg that is nearly impossible to unscramble.
It’s depressing in all honesty. I like understanding big complex problems because I like providing some objective answers about how to solve those problems. But this one is such a deeply embedded cultural issue that I am very worried that the two sides will not be able to solve it. And the minor fixes we implement won’t be enough. Banning bump stocks won’t stop the killings. Banning AR-15 style guns (whatever that means) won’t stop the killings. Better background checks won’t stop the killings. Screaming “but, Australia” is unrealistic because. And as this becomes evident it will bolster the extremist arguments on both sides and drive them further apart….
NB – Depending on how horrific and emotional the response is to this post I will consider posting what I think are some reasonable changes in a future post.

Officials said it was impossible to measure precisely the success of the classified program, which has never been publicly acknowledged. But in the past month alone, two Iranian attempts to launch satellites have failed within minutes.
Those two rocket failures — one that Iran announced on Jan. 15 and the other, an unacknowledged attempt, on Feb. 5 — were part of a pattern over the past 11 years. In that time, 67 percent of Iranian orbital launches have failed, an astonishingly high number compared to a 5 percent failure rate worldwide for similar space launches.
The setbacks have not deterred Iran. This week, President Hassan Rouhani singled out Tehran’s missile fleets as he vowed to “continue our path and our military power.”
The Trump administration maintains that Iran’s space program is merely a cover for its attempts to develop a ballistic missile powerful enough to send nuclear warheads flying between continents.
Hours after the Jan. 15 attempt, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo noted that Iran’s satellite launchers have technologies “virtually identical and interchangeable with those used in ballistic missiles.”
Mr. Pompeo is in Warsaw this week with Vice President Mike Pence to lead a meeting of 65 nations on encouraging stability in the Middle East, including by expanding economic sanctions against Iran. It is largely an appeal to European allies who, while continuing to oppose President Trump’s decision to abandon the 2015 nuclear accord with Iran, also agree that the missile tests must stop.
The launch failures prompted The New York Times to seek out more than a half-dozen current and former government officials who have worked on the American sabotage program over the past dozen years. They spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to publicly discuss the covert program.
The officials described a far-reaching effort, created under President George W. Bush, to slip faulty parts and materials into Iran’s aerospace supply chains. The program was active early in the Obama administration, but had eased by 2017, when Mr. Pompeo took over as the director of the C.I.A. and injected it with new resources.
Tehran is already suspicious. Even before Mr. Trump withdrew last May from the nuclear accord, Brig. Gen. Amir Ali Hajizadeh, the head of Iran’s missile program, accused American and allied intelligence agencies of turning their campaigns of “infiltration and sabotage” to Iran’s missile complex from its atomic infrastructure.
“They want to repeat their nuclear sabotage in the missile area,” he told Iranian state television in 2016, vowing the program will never stop “under any circumstances.”
The C.I.A. declined to comment on the sabotage efforts. Government officials asked The Times to withhold some details of its reporting, mostly involving the identities of specific suppliers to the Iranian program, because the effort is continuing.
Because there are so many things that can stymie a launch — from bad timing to bad welding to bad luck — some of Iran’s troubles, aerospace experts warned, could well be the result of normal malfunctions.
But the recent rise in failures suggests the effort to subvert Iran’s space launches and missile test flights, and the resulting flows of forensic information needed to lift performance, may now have intensified.
The covert actions against Iran’s missile and rocket program are being taken through countries and companies that supply Tehran’s aerospace operations. French and British officials have joined the United States in calling for ways to counter Iran’s missile program.
At the Pentagon last month to unveil a new missile defense strategy, Mr. Trump noted the Jan. 15 failed space launch. Had it succeeded, he said, it would have given Tehran “critical information” it could use “to pursue intercontinental ballistic missile capability, and a capability, actually, of reaching the United States.”
“We’re not going to have that happen,” Mr. Trump said.
The Iranian Target
Long before Iran got serious about producing nuclear fuel for a future weapons program, it was on the hunt for powerful missiles. The spark was its long-running fear of Iraq. In the 1980s, Saddam Hussein’s forces shot waves of missiles at Iranian cities. Hundreds of civilians died, and Iran fired back with Soviet-designed missiles it acquired from Libya, Syria and North Korea.
By the 1990s, Iran was importing a North Korean missile known as the No Dong, which it renamed the Shahab-3, or Shooting Star-3. The missile could hurl warheads about 800 miles, far enough to hit Israel. The No Dong’s powerful engine — seven feet long from nozzle to fuel pumps — eventually became the first-stage propulsion unit for most of Iran’s long-range missiles and for all of its space launchers.
After the 2003 American-led invasion of Iraq, Washington and its allies stepped up efforts to thwart Tehran’s missile and nuclear ambitions. By 2006, the United Nations Security Council demanded that Iran stop enriching uranium, a main fuel of nuclear weapons. Iran’s refusal prompted the imposition of sanctions that banned the import of parts, materials and technologies for manufacturing nuclear fuel — and for building missiles.
Under Mr. Bush, two covert programs against Iran rose in tandem: one focused on nuclear materials, the other on missiles.
The C.I.A., with help from the National Security Agency, searched for ways to subvert factories, supply chains and launchers.
It did not take much, according to officials from both the Bush and Obama administrations. Flight disruption could take no more than a small design change in a critical valve, a modest alteration in an engine part or guidance system, or a contaminated alloy for making launcher fins, crucial for aerodynamic stability.
American military officials urged Congress to put more money into programs they obliquely hailed in open testimony as “left of launch” techniques — so called because they rely on sabotaging launchers before they are fired.
In Iran’s case, that meant identifying the networks of suppliers and subcontractors who sold aerospace parts and materials to Tehran. The United Nations sanctions meant Iran also relied increasingly on black markets and shadowy middlemen — targets the C.I.A. found comparatively easy to penetrate, according to two former officials.
The key insight, as several participants described it, was to subvert test launches of new missiles. If the tests failed, Iran would hesitate to embark on mass production.
President Barack Obama quickened the clandestine war with disruptions aimed not only at missiles but also at a newly emerging target — space launchers.
By definition, rockets loft satellites into orbit, and missiles fire warheads though the fringes of space to hit remote targets. Mr. Obama’s first secretary of state, Hillary Clinton, held that the development and testing of one class of launcher could advance the other.
Some rocket specialists have challenged such arguments, saying that whatever overlap exists is too small to be significant. For its part, Iran insists that its satellite launches have no military value and that it seeks no nuclear weapons.
When Mr. Pompeo arrived at the C.I.A., there was relatively little nuclear activity underway in Iran. Most of Tehran’s centrifuges had been dismantled under the 2015 agreement, and 97 percent of the country’s nuclear fuel had been shipped to Russia.
But Iran had ramped up its missile and space program. Mr. Pompeo immediately focused on the supply chain for rockets and missiles, a world he knew intimately.
He had graduated from West Point with a degree in mechanical engineering and founded, with classmates, Thayer Aerospace, named for a famous superintendent of the military academy. The company made parts for Boeing, Lockheed and Raytheon. Mr. Pompeo understood what happens when aerospace parts are produced with less than extreme precision. From 2011 to 2017, he served in Congress, including on the House Intelligence Committee.
When he got to the C.I.A., he pressed to reinvigorate the sabotage program. It was, a former official said, an obvious target.
Evidence of Manipulation
It can take years to “seed” a foreign aerospace program with faulty parts and materials. And typically, it is impossible to know if the bad technology is ever installed in particular launchers.
In one case, the United States got lucky: A short-range Iranian-made missile landed in Baghdad’s Green Zone, but failed to detonate. When experts pulled it apart, they found one of the American-sabotaged parts inside, according to a former senior official.
“Iran hides its failures and exaggerates its successes,” said Shea Cotton, a chronicler of Iranian launchings at the James Martin Center for Nonproliferation Studies, based in Monterey, Calif.
Geography also affects learning about the repercussions. Launchings from North Korea are relatively easy for Washington to monitor because the peninsular state, about 100 miles wide at its waist, is surrounded by American bases, fleets, radars and allies. Sometimes missiles fall into the sea and are recovered by the United States or its allies.
By comparison, Iran is twice the size of Texas, and missile components can fall into its own territory. But the numbers suggest that the left-of-launch campaign against Iran has taken its toll.
Iran first succeeded in putting a small satellite into orbit in 2009, just as it was ramping up its nuclear program. It did so again in 2011, 2012 and 2015. Jonathan McDowell, a Harvard astronomer who publishes “Jonathan’s Space Report” and specializes in orbital monitoring, recently noted that those four launches were the only clear successes out of a dozen.
At least once, an Iranian rocket exploded on the launchpad, leaving damage so extensive that satellites passing overhead could make out blast scars, burned wreckage and a blackened rocket transporter. Iranian officials kept silent on that disaster, in 2012.
So far, Iran has failed to successfully test the newest generation of its satellite launcher — a bigger, more powerful rocket known as Simorgh or Phoenix. The vehicle, roughly nine stories tall, debuted in April 2016. Iran wrapped the test flight in secrecy, and sky monitors know for sure only that no satellite went into orbit.
In July 2017, another Simorgh roared off a launchpad at the Imam Khomeini Space Center, a complex east of Tehran named for the nation’s first supreme leader. Iran called it a success. But once again, no satellite was seen. Reports said Washington concluded there was a “catastrophic failure.”
In January, Mr. Pompeo warned Iran against launching a Simorgh that spy satellites had detected was in preparation. After it lifted off, on Jan. 15, Iranian officials declared it suffered what they called a third-stage failure.
“Sometimes life does not go as expected,” Iran’s minister of telecommunications, Mohammad Javad Azari Jahromi, said in a Twitter post.
Some experts attributed Iran’s poor performance to other factors, including trade embargoes that block the best technology. “It’s not a great record, but it’s not out-of-the-family, especially given the sanctions,” said Dr. McDowell, the Harvard astronomer. “It makes it harder to get parts.”
The secret American program parallels a cybersabotage effort that was aimed at North Korea, which suffered an embarrassing series of missile failures in 2016 before suspending its flight tests a year later.
North Korea has since developed solid-fueled missiles — an effort that Tehran is now racing to match. Solid fuels are not as vulnerable to covert meddling as the welters of hardware behind liquid-fueled missiles.
A Warsaw Warning
In Warsaw, Mr. Pompeo is expected to repeat his warnings about the danger of Tehran’s missile program and to press European and Arab states to expand sanctions and missile defenses aimed at Iran.
There will almost certainly be no reference to the United States’ secret sabotage efforts. But when Mr. Trump spoke at the Pentagon last month, he said nothing about Russia, China or North Korea as missile threats. He spoke only of Iran.
“Our strategy,” Mr. Trump said, “is grounded in one overriding objective: to detect and destroy every type of missile attack against any American target, whether before or after launch.” | weapons_science |

Some of the early issue Type 99 rifles were fitted with a folding wire monopod intended to improve accuracy in the prone position. The rear sights also featured folding horizontal extensions to give a degree of lead suitable for firing against aircraft.
Near the end of World War II, last-ditch ersatz models were being made in various cost-cutting feature variations with the goal of cheaply bolstering the imperial armed forces; for example, the ovoid bulb-shaped bolt of earlier runs were replaced by a smaller and utilitarian cylindrical shape, the handguard on the barrel was omitted, and crude fixed sights were fitted.
The Czech Legions that fought in the Russian Revolution were almost entirely armed with Type 30s and 38s. Many captured Arisaka rifles were employed by neighboring countries both during and after World War II, in places such as China, Thailand and Cambodia.

The imperial ownership seal, a petal chrysanthemum known as the Chrysanthemum Flower Seal stamped upon the top of the receiver in all official imperial-issue rifles, has often been defaced by filing, grinding, or stamping on surviving examples.
There are conflicting claims that this was done on the orders of the Imperial Japanese Military prior to surrender, however it is generally accepted by most historians that the imperial chrysanthemums were ground off the rifles on the orders from General Douglas MacArthurthe commander of occupation forces at that time. Most of the Arisakas with surviving insignia are in Japan, though there are a few remaining on samples taken as war trophies before the surrender, and those captured by Chinese forces.
Some of the captured Sino Arisakas were later exported to the United States, examples including a number of Type 38 carbines rebarrelled and rechambered for the 7. Some Type 38 rifles captured by the Kuomintang forces were also converted to fire the 7. Many of the Chrysanthemum Seals were completely ground off, but some were merely defaced with a chisel, scratch or had the number "0" stamped repeatedly along the edges.
The latter was usually done with rifles removed from Japanese military service and thus no longer the emperor's propertyincluding rifles given to schools or sold to other nations, such as the British Royal Navy 's purchase of many Type 38s in World War I to free up SMLE rifles for their land forces.
A very small run of Type 38 rifles was also manufactured for export to Mexico inwith the Mexican coat of arms instead of the imperial chrysanthemum, though few arrived before the Mexican Revolution and the bulk remained in Japan until World War I, when they were sold to Imperial Russia.

|Located just north of the Kispiox River. In February, 1950, this peak was the final crash point of a B-36 nuclear bomber. The six engine B-36 was the largest bomber of the time, and the predecessor of the B 52. On Feb 13, 1950, the plane left Eielson Airbase, Fairbanks Alaska, carrying a dummy (we hope) Fat boy nuclear bomb. The bomb was dumped over the Queen Charlotte Sound, then the plane was put on autopilot while the crew bailed out.|
The incident was described as a "Broken Arrow" incident. (Broken Arrow is US nuclear incident terminology meaning an accidental event that involves nuclear weapons.
The wreckage of the plane was located in 1953; USAF Crash Site Investigation Report 1954. The Convair B-36 bomber held a Mark IV "Fat Man" atomic bomb, but according to the USAF did not contain the plutonium core necessary for detonation.

These are out of the 36 combat jets India had ordered in 2016 at a cost of 59,000 crores. They touched down at the Ambala airbase around 3:10 PM on Wednesday covering a distance of about 7,000 km from the Merignac airbase in France’s Bordeaux.
These are the first combat jets procured by India in two decades, and the delivery comes amid heightened border tensions with China in eastern Ladakh and continued frayed ties with Pakistan. Rafale fighters are expected to be a game-changer in case a battle happens with the neighbour nations.
Each of the combat aircraft was given a special water cannon salute at the strategically-located airbase in Haryana’s Ambala in the presence of top brass of the Indian Air Force, including Chief of Air Staff Air Chief Marshal Bhadauria who had played a key role as lead negotiator in the procurement of the jets. | weapons_science |

Not because they are an amazing unit however - its just that you are forced to take at least one squad in every force! There are only a few units in 40K that are completely compulsory for an army - Tau Commanders, The Emperor's Champion and Necron Warriors is all else that springs to mind. This compulsory choice means that no Tau general can become competent without mastering the way of Fire.
A squad of Fire Warriors consists of 6 to 12 Shas'la - the ubiquitous troops of the Tau Empire. If you ante up the points you can upgrade one Fire Warrior to a Shas'ui, and he gets a bonus +1 Leadership... oh yeah and an extra Attack (at Initiative and Weapon Skill 2!). The additional Leadership of the 'el is most valuable in a larger unit.
Let's compare the stats of the Tau with the humble imperial guardsman. Firstly the Tau have a measly Weapon Skill 2, and Initiative 2, which leads to them getting consistently slaughtered in close combat, even by a humble guard squad. Their only defence is their 4+ armor save. In contrast to a troops like the veteran guardsman in carapace armour, who has a better Ballistic Skill, the Fire Warrior has among the weakest stats of any basic troop in the game.
Thats it. Fire Warriors don't get any special abilities or fluffy rules. Presumably because they don't need them?
So what do Fire Warriors have that guardsmen don't? A very nasty Rapid Fire gun called a Plasma Rifle. This weapon is Strength and AP 5, and has an amazing 30" range. Make sure you understand how the Rapid Fire rules work - the distance to the target required to activate the move and shoot twice ability is always 12", even when the weapons total range is more. Pulse rifles can cause a lot of casualties with a bit of luck; but they are hampered in effectiveness by the squads low Ballistic Skill, and the preponderance of cover in 5th edition.
A couple of markerlight hits utilised to cause 24 S5 shots to hit on 2s can be a devastating combo - but never forget that those same 'lights could also be used to drop your opponents cover save or Leadership. With 2 markerlight hits against an enemy in cover, you are statistically better off to use one 'light to get +1 BS and the other for -1 cover save.
Sometimes it might be easy for you to do enough wounds to force a Leadership test on an enemy unit that you urgently need to remove from the battle (and is not Fearless). In thise case, it could possibly be a better use of those markerlight hits to modify the ensuing Leadership test.
The Pulse Carbine is the humble cousin of the Pule Rifle. It shares the same Strength 5 but trades in 30" Rapid Fire for 18" Assault 1 Pinning. Once less shot when within 12" of the target, but you can still assault - like that matters!
Pinning has so much promise - the chance of basically stunning an infantry unit for a round, like it was a vehicle. This could easily cause a failed charge, or leave any unit that dared stray out of cover as a sitting duck to any counterattack. Unfortunately pinning in my experience is one of those abilities that you can take or leave. First you have to find a unit that is not Fearless - and Leadership tests are rarely failed anyway. It does combine extremely well with Marklight hits used to reduce Leadership.
The true strength of the Pulse Carbine is that it allows the Fire Warrior to move out of assault range of its target unit and still shoot effectively. The ability to pin the assaulting unit synergises brilliantly with the overwhelming fire power of the rest of the Tau army. Any unit pinned in the Tau firing lanes is in big trouble.
Tragically Fire Warriors are given no options for heavy or special weapons - it appears that they are forced to shoot down approaching Rhinos with their pulse rifles - they do glance on 6s after all! This is a big issue as it makes the unit ineffective against a large chunk of some armies.
Being a pushover in close combat is not necessarily a bad thing in 40k. If they are attacked by a close combat unit, their big fear will be wiping the Fire Warriors out in one round of combat, leaving them stranded in the open ready to get blasted off the table by the Tau players firebase. This is why you should never take photon grenades, they help your opponent by minimizing their attacks, giving them a better chance of staying in combat that extra turn. Any points spent improving the Fire Warrior's melée ability are points wasted.
EMP grenades however are a more interesting option. They are actually not a bad weapon, glancing on a 4 or 5 and pinning on a 6 - once they hit of course. Awesome against Land Raiders that haven't moved - but how are you going to get close enough to a Land Raider to use them? So they are situational only and don't synergise well with the unit's other activities.
The Shas'ui is the only squad member to access to the following upgrades. The bonding knife lets you rally when under half strength. useful when a fleeing unit rallies to return to an objective or not give away a kill point - but only with larger squads. The Shas'ui can take a markerlight for a good price - and then the hard-wired target lock becomes an option, allowing the valuable markerlight to be fired at the optimal target. Don't forget though that the markerlight is a heavy weapon - so you cant move the unit and fire effectively. At least he still has his pulse weapon for these situations.
Finally you have the option to buy drones, but I do not think they are worth it in a cheap unit like Fire Warriors. Drones are fragile because they are killed instantly if their controller dies. I'll go into more detail about drone options when I post my review of the Crisis Suits.
Fire Warriors on the table seem to have a target painted on their armour. Against shooting they have Toughness 3 and a 4+ save that everyone gets from cover anyway, and a low Leadership of 7 or 8. In CC they just die. Putting them in a Devilfish is the answer. It immediately provides them the protection of armour 12, and 11 on the side. Cough up for the 5 point disruption pod upgrade and suddenly you have a troop carrier that takes its cover save where ever it goes - at least until the opponent gets in to melta range. This is awesome, and makes the price of the Devilfish actually worthwhile.
There are two levels of upgrade for the basic Devilfish descriped above. The first is to buy a multi-tracker, so that you can shoot one weapon when moving at cruising speed. As the gun drones can fire if any of your weapons can, this means you can fire 5 S5 shots (with 2 pinning) whilst moving 12" - actually quite good! The second level of upgrade is, in addition to the multi-tracker, trade the gun drones in for a smart missile system and targetting array. The main advantage of this configuration is that you no longer give up an additional point for the gun drones - but at a considerable points cost. I am not convinced I must admit. With 7 S5 shots the targetting array definately becomes worth the points, but now you are paying alot
Score from Reserve (145)
6 Fire Warriors with pulse carbines
Devilfish with disruption pod
A cheap unit in a Devilfish, this is the most efficient way to run a Fire Warrior squad. Avoiding upgrades keeps the unit cheap. The purpose of this squad varies depending on the mission type. In objective missions, they start in reserve and come on from your table edge, then move forward to hold objectives as required. In Annihilation, they start in reserve, then come on the board as far away as possible from anything dangerous - and stay there! Six plasma rifles won't do much, but the the slight chance to pin from the carbine could be enough to save the game. I have avoided the multi-tracker because they should be in reserves or away from the action most of the time.
Rapid Response (240)
12 Fire Warriors
Devilfish with disruption pod, multi-tracker
The idea is to take a bunch of rapid firing S5 and drop them off where ever there are infantry models. Combines with a couple of marker light hits, they can cripple a unit of light infantry and even kill a few Space Marines. The Devilfish can add noticeably to to this weight of fire, even after moving 12" to drop them off.
Solid Gunline (150)
12 Fire Warriors with Shas'ui with bonding knife, markerlight, target lock
This is what you get when you invest some points into a Fire Warrior unit. This unit is designed to sit in the safety of your back field and lob pulse rifle shots at enemy foot troops or low armour vehicles. The Shas'ui is a good purchase here as his Leadership 8 makes a big difference to the squad's morale. The bonding knife might stop this expensive unit from running off the board late game, allowing them to attempt to hold an objective or save a kill point. Now that we have spent so much, adding another 15 points to give the Shas'ui a markerlight that he can shoot at whichever unit needs it most is not a bad deal - its just a pity that markerlights are heavy weapons.
Kroot Alternative (100)
10 Fire Warriors
A bit more pricey than Kroot, but perfect for a Fire Warrior themed army. At least they have little chance of surviving their opponents charge, leaving the victorious unit desperately consolidating towards the nearest cover. The purpose of this unit is to provide a screen in front of the firebase of your army - and shoot at anything that makes itself a target. I have gone for 10 models so they can form a considerable road block to any advance, and its a good number for moral checks (need 3 casualties to force a check, need 6 dead to flee off the board). | weapons_science |

Gun costs range from hundreds to thousands of dollars. You want to take care of something that you put this type of money into. Here are a few parts to the weapon that you should make sure to clean on a regular basis.
The slide ejects the shot casing. A lot of dirt and black powder will be released onto the gun when a bullet is fired. If the residue from this is left on the slide, it can cause the gun to jam and not cycle through the ammunition as smoothly as it should. This can affect the performance of the gun and make shooting it a less desirable thing to do.
The lower receiver does not have the bullet or casing, but it is very important in shooting the gun. The grip, firing pin, and upgrades such as a Glock trigger kit will need to be taking off and cleaned inside and out. All these items help you be able to shoot and make the gunfire. If one of these parts is corroded and dirty, it can be a safety hazard.
The barrel can become the dirtiest part of the gun. This is where the most residue will be at because it is where the bullet is fired out of. The size of the barrel determines how much area and gun powder you will be cleaning. Like many other parts, it’s not only the inside but the outside of the part that needs to be cleaned. The barrel will determine a lot of the accuracy of your gun, so keeping it clean will help you shoot better.
Safety and performance are what many people look for when purchasing their guns. Do not compromise those features of your handgun by not cleaning your gun properly. | weapons_science |

What’s the REAL Job of A Survival Knife?
You ever stop and ask yourself “Why carry a knife?”
Day after day, as we’re heading out the door, we grab our keys, wallets and our knives. For some reason we have this staunch devotion to them. God, country, and knife.
But when asked “why carry a knife”, a lot of people will answer “just in case.”
Just in case what?
Knives are cool. The just are.
Yes, they help you do a ton of stuff, but all functional value aside, there’s just something cool about knives. And in particular, survival knives. Lots of guys try to find the biggest, heaviest Rambo knife they can get their hands on, like it’s somehow inextricably related to increased testosterone levels.
But Hollywood aside, let’s be objective for a minute.
A knife is a tool, and the primary function of any tool is to help you get the job done, right?
So then, the question remains, what’s the purpose of a survival knife? What’s its core job? Or for that matter, what is the core job of any knife?
Over the years, I’ve had several conversations about this with different people. It’s an interesting conversation, because for many of us, knives just “feel right” on a primeval level, but it can be a little difficult to articulate why. I’ve used knives in the garden, in fire-making, in opening boxes, gutting animals, and everything in between. But none of those specific uses really represents the total reason that a knife is a valuable thing to carry.
And the waters can get a little muddier when you consider that modern knives take on a variety of shapes, sizes, and styles. There are “fighting knives”, “fishing knives”, “pen knives”, and more. There are Xacto knives that are mostly used for cutting open boxes, there are car knives that have seatbelt cutters and glass breaks, and then there are Swiss Army Knives that have a million functions. There are also a lot of products in our lives today which have replaced a specific function of knives (but which knives could still be used to do in a pinch). Think about things like shaving razors, tree pruners, potato peelers, nail clippers, scissors, saws and more.
Construction and Destruction
When you really get down to it however, a knife has 2 core functions: CONstruction, and DEstruction.
Construction: Since the dawn of time, knives have been used to make things. Shelter, clothing, and even other tools. The cutting ability of a knife has given man the ability to shape raw materials into usable things. The same is true today, only the “knives” have become more specialized, and we call them by different names–Skill saws, chisels, scissors, and more.
Destruction: The other major utility of knives has been as a weapon. They have been used to cut, slash, stab and kill–both man and beast. Swords are knives. Bayonets are knives. Spears are nothing more than a knife on the end of a pole. Even in the sophisticated world we live in, knives are still used in combat on the battlefield and in the streets everywhere.
All the individual little specific things that a knife does can be broken down into those 2 groups. A knife as a weapon? That’s destruction. Using it to help make a shelter? Construction.
You may be thinking, “Yeah, but I’ve never used my knife to stab somebody or build a house.” True, most of us might not have done either of those exact 2 things. But that is the promise of a knife. It can be used in a thousand different ways that are either constructing or destructing something. And like we already discussed, while there are a lot of specific gadgets nowadays that were invented to replace certain specific functions of knives, in a pinch, a knife can still do it.

So the next time you slide that EDC in your pocket, or start talking blade steels with your buddies, remember that even though we use our beloved knives to open a package or trim a nail, we carry them because push come to shove, knives give us the ability to make things and defend ourselves.
Types of Survival Knives:
With that in mind, there are a few basic knife styles that you should consider:
Fixed Blade Knives
Surviving in the wilderness requires you to use the raw materials of the great outdoors around you to secure drinking water, shelter and food. It therefore falls upon the shoulders of your knife, to size kindling, baton through branches, create shelter, dig, pry and perhaps hunt. The full tang fixed blade could not be more perfectly suited to these tasks. It’s large cutting surface and heavy construction make it perfect for wilderness tasks and larger applications like these.
Fixed blade knives are without a doubt, the most sturdy type of knife. They are usually larger, and typically “full tang”, meaning the blade and the handle of the knife are one solid piece of metal. Of all the types, they look the most like a survival knife.
Because of their construction and their size, they can also be used with the greatest amount of force. These are the knives that are great for batoning wood and general pounding on. Fixed blade knives also lend themselves to being good combat knives. Good for slashing and stabbing.
The downside of these kinds of knives is that their size makes them a little too big for everyday carry (for most of us). For the way we dress, and the types of places we go, it would be a little out of place to carry a large fixed blade knife. One good exception to this is a neck knife, which is a smaller fixed blade knife that is specifically made to be carried in a sheath that hangs around your neck.
Another general downside of fixed blade knives is that because of their size, they are typically less suited to really fine detail work. A large fixed blade knife is probably not what you want to be doing any kind of carving with, for instance.
A folding knife is a great compliment to a fixed blade knife. Folding knives are usually smaller, and because they have a blade that can be folded away, they don’t need a sheath. These are the knives that most of us carry on a regular basis, either in our front or back pocket. They are easily accessed, which means they see a lot of action.
Most of them have a locking mechanism, so that when the blade is open, it is “locked” into place, to avoid it shutting on your fingers. There are a million locking and release mechanisms, and a cult following for each.
Because of their smaller construction and folding mechanism however, these knives aren’t as great as fixed blade knives at taking abuse and being pounded on. Their job is to be easy to carry and serviceable in a lot of situations, not to be a bayonet or a machete.
Our urban environment is made up of buildings, computers, cars, electricity, plumbing, engines and more. These parts, in turn are made up of bolts, screws, cables, lamps, and a million other interchangeable parts (you know where I’m going with this one…).
Multi-tools offer urban utility that fixed blades can’t come close to touching. Additionally, unless you are in the middle of total and complete chaos, there are many situations within an urban environment where carrying a 10 inch fixed blade can attract negative attention that a multi-tool won’t.
For these reasons, as long as I’m the coach of team “Cutting Edge”, the multi-tool will definitely be starting on the urban side of the ball.
Over the last couple decades, multitools have become extremely popular. They are essentially the “big brother” to the Swiss Army Knife, and much like the Swiss Army Knife, they have several blades and gadgets that all fold into the handle.
The most pronounced difference between a multitool and the Swiss Army Knife (or any other folding knife for that matter), is that multitools have a hinged, 2-sided handle, that opens like a “V.” In most multitools, this hinged handle is usually used as a pliers.
Multitools are made to give you a lot of versatility, and in addition to pliers typically include: screwdrivers, scissors, saws, files, bottle openers, wire strippers, and tons of other stuff.
The downside of multitools is that the actual knife blade is not as large or strong as it is on other folding knives. The blades are usually a lot harder to pull out, and fold away. And multitools are HEAVY. They are not as convenient to carry as a small folding knife, and often are carried in a sheath on your belt.
Are Multitools Too Much of a Good thing?
On the quest for the multitool holy grail, there is definitely such a thing as too much. The Wenger Swiss Army Giant Multi-tool has 141 functions and looks like a portable blacksmith shop (And for the record, I’ll send you a cool grand if you can get that thing through airport security).
The Leatherman MUT is a multi-tool that was manufactured with tools specifically designed for clearing jams in an AR15 and crimping blasting cap wire.
Many of you aren’t in the military, and realistically wouldn’t use and don’t need those tools. You be the judge, but remember, every little thing you add to your gear is extra weight, space and mental inventory. Doing less with more is the name of the game. After all, MacGyver was way cooler than Inspector Gadget (IMHO of course…).
My Personal Recommendations For Survival Knives:
Best Survival Knife for Everyday Carry: Over the years I’ve carried a handful of different everyday carry knives. My favorite one by far, and the one that I’ve carried everyday since about 2013, is the Kershaw Cryo. I like the Cryo because it is really dense and compact. It is the thinnest, sturdiest feeling folding knife that I’ve ever come across. Note–it’s not the thinnest or the sturdiest, but the combination of the two. The carry clip is at the very top of the knife, so when it’s in your pocket, nothing sticks out. Great knife. Runs about $30.
Survival Kit: For my survival kits and outdoor fun (camping, hunting, etc), I like to have a fixed blade knife. ESEE makes some really good fixed blade knives (although they aren’t cheap). I like the ESEE-4 a lot. I also really like the Gerber Prodigy and have used it for years. The Becker BK-2 (by Ka-Bar) is also a really good one, but a little bit bigger. A good fixed blade knife can run $50-100 or more. The Cold Steel G.I. Tanto is a knife that I’ve had for a couple years, but truthfully have not used a ton. I ordered it because Cold Steel has a great reputation for making no nonsense, no frills knives. This was a larger knife, and I picked it up for about $20. The size and feel is as advertised. But again, can’t vouch for having carried and used it in the field like I can other knives.
Best Working Knife: A good “working knife” is priceless. These are the knives that I use in the garden, for making kindling for my wood stove, and just in general beating around. Sometimes I just don’t want to use a really nice fixed blade knife for that kind of stuff. Without a doubt, the best working knife I’ve ever seen is the Hultafors Heavy Duty Knife (might even be the best survival knife ever–that’s right, I said it). I have had one for the last few years, and used it heavily. I’ve split a ton of wood with it for campfires (pounding on it with rocks), used it with flint to start fires, trimmed plants in the garden, cut all kinds of food, and more. I’ve never cleaned or sharpened it (shame on me), and it is still awesome. For all this it’ll set you back about $12 or so. And it comes with a sheath! I would honestly buy 3-4 of them at a time.
If you’re looking for some more ideas, I recently found this survival knife guide, that I thought had some really great picks.
Knife Fan Boys
A lot of guys take knives to the extreme. They live and breathe knives. They have a lot of opinions and get in internet debates over steel types and manufacturers. This does not mean they have any more “real use” experience with knives. They are enthusiasts and collectors.
If self-sufficiency is your goal, it’s not necessary or productive to become a knife snob that knows everything about everything. Remember, nobody likes a douche bag–be it the knife variety or otherwise. Get some sturdy, high-quality knives and get on with life! | weapons_science |

The launch was the first of its kind to overfly Japan in five years, and was described by Senator Wong as an act that “threatens the security of our neighbours and partners and undermines the stability of the Indo-Pacific”.
Japan has expressed fury over the incident, with Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida heavily criticising the move.
“This outrageous act follows recent repeated ballistic missile launches and we strongly condemn it,” Mr Kishida said while addressing local media.
“In response to this incident, I issued instructions to confirm if any damage has resulted from falling objects, to collect and analyse information thoroughly, and to work in cooperation with relevant countries.”
Tokyo activated its missile alert system and issued a rare warning for people to take shelter in two northern regions of the country in response to the missile.
The missile flew over Japan at around 7.30am local time before landing in the Pacific Ocean outside of the country‘s exclusive economic zone.
“North Korea appears to have launched a missile. Please evacuate into buildings or underground,” a text message sent to residents in Japan‘s north read.
Senator Wong said that Pyongyang continued to “show blatant disregard for multiple United Nations Security Council resolutions prohibiting its dangerous ballistic missile and weapons of mass destruction programs”.
“We continue to be gravely concerned by North Korea’s apparent readiness to undertake a seventh nuclear weapons test.”

From the early days where the Tsar’s tank, in its monstrous form, seemed the logical way forward, to the creation of the T34, which changed the landscape of the 2nd World War on the Eastern front. In essence a fascinating journey through 20th Century history.
The DVD documentary includes exclusive footage of rare archive film, tank enthusiasts will enjoy the unique footage and interviews with owners of Russian Tanks. Taking many of these fantastic vehicles for a test drive we gain a fascinating insight into Tank Collectors and their world.

En route we visit the early ideas developed under the Tsar and those absorbed fr om the west. Although the concept of a tank was originally designed by Russian engineers, it was the west that developed the initial prototypes that designated the way forward in tank development. In this film we look at designs, including the introduction of the 1st World War Mark 4 and 5 tanks introduced through the British interventualist forces, the reverse engineered Renault FT 17 and British Whippet. The first indigenous tank produced by Russia was the T18 that was designed around western ideas. The T24 developed the suspension system, allowing for the rigours of the Russian roads. The T26 was the transition from dual turret to single turret weaponry. Through the American Vickers Company the Russians were also interested in the concept of the ‘Tankette’ – light, fast tanks ideal for reconnaissance.
The BT series introduced the first V2 diesel engine that drove tank development for the next 50 years. In parallel, there was the development of the land battleships, huge monoliths that the Russians developed into the T28, a 3 turreted tank and the ubiquitous 5 x turreted behemoth T35 that is renowned for appearing on Red Square, along with the SMK and T100.
Operation Barbarossa, the German invasion of Russia, sees the introduction of the BT 5 & 7 which attempted to hold off the Panzers. The reality check was the systematic destruction of Russia’s tank army. It was only with the brilliance of Russia’s tank design teams and the Russian winter that froze the Nazi advance, that allowed Russia to let loose a Tsunami of T34 tanks at the battle of Kursk and turn around the direction of the 2nd World War.
Heavy tank development produced the KV series, that played a major part in the destruction of Berlin, along with JS series which rammed its way through German defences. This series extended to the JS 7 which mounted a marine diesel engine. Medium tank development produced the T44 and subsequently the T54 which improved the engine and size of gun turret. This naturally, led onto the T55 which is still in service in countries around the world. The T62 entered service in the mid 60’s with a 115mm gun but was not produced extensively. The major change took place with the development of two separate designs the T64, which had smaller road wheels and a new flatter silhouette engine, along with an auto shell loader that unfortunately tended to cut peoples arms off!
The T72 created major internal politics in the way that the heavy tank department went off on their way and came up with this new design, without political approval. It did, however, prove to be the race car of the battle field and was significantly cheaper to produce than the T64. Where the T72 proved most effective was in the development of range finding, thermal imaging and night vision equipment, which pushed this model into a new league.
The T80 introduced the concept of the gas turbine helicopter engine along with the new 125mm gun. The dilemma here was that Soviet tank production was splintered across three tanks – the T64, T72 and T80. What the army required for training was a standardised approach and this finally determined the creation of the T90 which took all the benefits of these three tanks. Future developments of Russian tank development are still unknown, but the development of the Black Eagle gives a strong perception of the way forward with compartmentalised armour storage, with a huge bustle on the back of the tank. What is evident is that all future tank development will involve computer synchronisation of all the armed forces. Where and when this will be displayed, is a chapter that time will tell.
