June 15, 2013
As part of asserting itself as the "sole superpower" and maintaining a "decisive military advantage" over the rest of the world, U.S. imperialism is applying a hypocritical, double-standard on the issue of the acquisition of nuclear weapons by other states. For example, while the U.S. government imposes economic sanctions on Iran for an alleged intention to build nuclear weapons "some time in the future," it says nothing about the existing nuclear arsenal of Israel.
The fact is that international treaties such as the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) have been used by the U.S. government as a means for ensuring its nuclear superiority and its nuclear blackmail over other nations and peoples. For example, in the 43 years since the NPT went into effect U.S. imperialism has not only greatly enlarged its nuclear arsenal and modernized its delivery systems but spread its net of nuclear weapons over the entire globe, deploying these instruments of mass destruction in many countries and filling the oceans and skies with nuclear armed submarines and bombers.
The U.S. government's nuclear weapons program and its policy of nuclear blackmail arises from the economic aims and strategic objectives of U.S. imperialism. In 1945, the U.S. dropped two atomic bombs on Japan. Top-level government officials admitted that these bombs were dropped with the aim of threatening the Soviet Union and the emerging national liberation movements. As then Secretary of War Stimson wrote in his diary, the U.S. wanted to emerge from World War II as the imperialist superpower with the "atom bomb ostentatiously on our hip."
In the sixty-plus years since the end of WW II, U.S. imperialism has repeatedly used nuclear weapons as an instrument of its foreign policy. During the Korean war, in Lebanon in 1958, during the Cuban missile crisis, in Vietnam, in Iran in 1980 and many other times, the U.S. government has threatened the peoples with nuclear strikes and even risked all-out nuclear war in order to suppress the national liberation movements and intimidate other states and peoples.
Yet even while it is U.S. imperialism itself which boasts a first-strike nuclear doctrine and the biggest nuclear arsenal, the U.S. government uses the pretext of "stopping nuclear proliferation" in order to interfere in the affairs of other countries. The Obama administration relies on its own allegations of a so-called "nuclear threat" from North Korea and Iran as a means to pressure these countries.
The U.S. government uses the program of nuclear superiority and blackmail in order to protect the empire of the U.S. multi-national corporations, which plunder the resources and super-exploit the labor of peoples throughout the world. To control sources of raw materials, maintain its strategic spheres of influence and domination, and protect its investments, U.S. imperialism, relies, in the final analysis on military might, including its policy of nuclear superiority and blackmail.
Grave dangers are confronting the peoples everywhere. Contradictions and rivalries between the big imperialist powers and competing capitalist states are intensifying. So too, imperialism is stepping up its program of colonial and neo-colonial domination, including its military pressure and intervention against sovereign states. These contradictions bear the seeds of new imperialist wars, including the danger that nuclear weapons will again be used against the peoples.
The peoples of every country aspire to a world of peace and cooperation amongst nations, to a genuine disarmament and the abolition of nuclear weapons and other instruments of mass destruction. The struggle for disarmament and peace must be directed against U.S. imperialism and the other big imperialist powers, who hold their nuclear swords over the whole world and carry out interference and aggression against the peoples. | weapons_science |

Hua Chunying, a spokeswoman for China’s Foreign Ministry, responded to a question about the missile launch by noting UN Security Council regulations regarding nuclear capable ballistic missiles and stressing that the two countries “are not rivals for competition but partners for cooperation.”
An Indian Foreign Ministry spokesman responded by telling CNN that its “strategic capabilities are not targeted against any particular country,” and that the country abides by its international obligations.
But not everyone shares such a sanguine view of the Sino-Indian relationship.
“Everyone should be interested in and concerned about India’s successful ICBM test, inc(luding) China because it’s within range of this new missile and because it especially of the major Asian countries understands the dangers of nationalism and its volatility,” says Yvonne Chiu, a professor of at Hong Kong University. | weapons_science |

Welcome to the 2013 LC&SA Pistol League. All shooters are welcome – both members and non-members. We meet the first and third Wednesdays from May through October. Sign-in is at 5:30 p.m. at the pistol range. Both new and experienced shooters are invited. You are encouraged to bring your spouse, neighbor, and/or a friend.
What we do
The Pistol League at LC&SA is intended for shooters who wish to become more proficient with their handguns. Courses of fire are made up of a number of 'strings' requiring 8 to 18 rounds to be fired. The strings of fire involve engaging silhouette targets from close range (as close as 3 yards) to more challenging distances (up to 25 yards) and include strong-hand only, support-hand only, and various firing positions, including firing from behind cover. All strings of fire are timed. The strings are 'revolver neutral' which means that all firearms are loaded with a maximum of six rounds. Therefore, a minimum of three speed loaders or magazine are necessary. Targets are scored and standings are maintained. An awards banquet will be held at the end of the shooting season.
General LC&SA Range Rules
We run a 'cold' range. This means firearms remain unloaded until instructed to load on the firing line. When you arrive, holster your empty firearm at the designated SAFE AREA. Do not touch your firearm again until you are on the firing line and instructed to load and make ready. You may load magazines/speed loaders at benches located away form the Safe Area.
NRA safety rules are followed at all times:
Handgun with a 6+ shot capacity suitable for personal protection
Members and Non-Members $5.00 (the best deal in town!)

All standard airsoft sidearms use one of four sources of power: spring, batteries, green gas, or CO2. Green gas vs CO2 is the ongoing argument between many experienced airsofters. Both are similar in many respects, but they do have their differences. One differentiating factor is the way they are loaded into the gun. Green gas is loaded into the magazine(s) through a small opening that the operator must insert the bottle into.
When full, there will be sufficient gas to fire all the BB’s in the magazine, but it must be refilled much more often than CO2. Another argument against green gas in the green gas vs co2 wars is that many airsofters use propane and silicon oil to replace green gas so they don’t spend as much money.
CO2 is not always necessarily loaded into the mag, but can be depending on the make of the gun. While green gas comes in large bottles that contain many refills, CO2 comes in 12 gram canisters that hold enough gas to fire the pistol anywhere from 50 to about 100 times. With some guns, it can be loaded into a designated chamber in the magazine, but in other pistols, the CO2 loads straight into the grip. A point against CO2 in the green gas vs co2 argument is that green gas guns are easier to fill. All you do is insert the bottle and fill. No CO2 canisters to install.
Another difference is in the fps that each gas provides. CO2 is traditionally known to offer a little more punch, but green gas is still preferred among some airsofters for different reasons. Whichever side you choose in green gas vs co2, there are a lot of options for pistol models in each gas type, so selection is not an issue. Mostly, it comes down to preference and price. CO2 sidearms are generally cheaper, but often not built with the same quality or reliability that green gas guns are known for.
Most gas pistols range in price from $40 all the way up to $180, and offer unique features and design depending on the brand and model. For example, some offer burst fire selection, while others may be custom pistols, not replicas of a preexisting firearm model.

French defence minister Florence Parly will visit India to attend the Rafale fighter jet’s induction ceremony on 10 September, reports said.
During the visit, she will hold a meeting with her Indian counterpart Rajnath Singh, and will also meet National Security Advisor Ajit Doval, DNA reported. She will be accompanied by defence officials and French defence industry representatives.
The induction ceremony of the Rafale jets will be held on 10 September in Ambala air force station in presence of Singh, Chief of Defence Staff General Bipin Rawat and the entire top military brass of the country, PTI quoted sources as saying.
The Indian and French sides are in touch with each other on the proposed visit by Parly, the sources added.
In a telephonic conversation with Singh on 2 June, Parly had conveyed her readiness to visit India to further explore ways to enhance bilateral defence ties.
The first batch of five Rafale jets arrived in India on 29 July, nearly four years after India signed an inter-governmental agreement with France to procure 36 of the aircraft at a cost of Rs 59,000 crore. The jets are yet to be formally inducted into the IAF.
Ten Rafale jets have been delivered to India so far, of which five stayed back in France for imparting training to Indian Air Force pilots. The delivery of all 36 aircraft is scheduled to be completed by the end of 2021.
A second batch of four to five Rafale jets are likely to arrive in India by November.
The Rafale jets, known for air-superiority and precision strikes, are India’s first major acquisition of fighter planes in 23 years after the Sukhoi jets were imported from Russia.

Be forewarned, if you go to the post there, it is not a G rated blog--probably more of a PG13, but they have interesting discussions and one recently was about the basic 4 firearms a person could get by with: .22 rifle or handgun, shotgun, centerfire handgun, and centerfire rifle. I know you all don't know what some of those are and some of you do, and that's okay, I'll go over it in a future post for those who don't. In fact, if you don't know much about firearms and don't care to dive in without the basics, you can quit reading now :) If you want to read the post with their commentary, it's here. Otherwise, here's just the part I wrote:
I am a small framed woman (5’2” approx 110 lbs) who loves to shoot stuff. I’ll give you a disclaimer here: I have not shot every gun out there, not even close. I’m basing my choices on guns I own or have handled or fired, so there might be something better out there that I just don’t know about.
There are a few problems with 80% of the guns available if you are smaller than the average man (which most women are) and especially if you’re smaller than the average woman. First is the weight of the gun. This has to be somewhat of a compromise. A long gun that is too heavy leads to an awkward shooting stance just to get it stabilized. A handgun that is too heavy will also be difficult to hold right. But if it’s not heavy enough, you personally take a good deal more of the recoil since the weight of the gun isn’t counteracting the pressure of the round being fired. This is especially true with handguns. The little KelTec P3AT or Ruger LCP are cute and concealable, but have a nasty bite when they are fired due to their relative light weight, so you’ll probably be cutting practice sessions short.
Another problem small people have with most long guns is that a "standard" length of pull (usually around 14-14 1/2 inches) is too long. They might believe they have an issue with the recoil when actually they have an issue with the gun fitting right. If your gun fits right, you can take more recoil because it hits in the correct place on your shoulder instead of out on your arm somewhere. This would apply to rifles and shotguns. I've only shot one Ruger 10/22 and didn't like it due to weight and length of pull.I have similar experience with handguns. .45's are not so bad if I can get my hands securely around the grip. I've had a lot of people recommend Glocks/M&P's/XD's/etc., and they are fantastic guns, but I cannot physically get my hand around the grips of the double stacked magazine pistols (even the new ones with adjustable grips). If my hubby brought one of those home for me, he'd just have to keep it (which I’m sure he wouldn’t mind). Being able to get a good, comfortable grip on your handgun goes a long way towards making shooting fun and if it's fun you'll want to do it more and practice makes good shooting.
So after all that rambling, here’s the guns I like:
Centerfire Rifle: For average shooting, I like our Winchester Model 94 lever action 30-30. The stock length is only slightly too long which is manageable. It is a little shorter overall, a lot lighter weight, and has less recoil than our other deer hunting rifle (Remington 742 30.06 autoloader). If I’m actually going to hunt deer, there’s a lot of open country around here and so I use the 30.06 with the scope attached. Even though I don’t like it as much, it’s better for longer distance shots. (I actually do most of my hunting archery, so haven’t had to use the rifle much.)
Centerfire Pistol: I am not a fan of revolvers. Some people are and they are welcome to shoot them. I own and love a Colt Mustang .380. Unfortunately these pistols are no longer in production although you can find them used every once in a while. I’ll tell you why I love this gun and then maybe my reasoning can apply to a more readily available handgun. Remember what I said about fit in the introduction? This gun fits my hands perfectly. For a .380 it is a bit heavy, but that actually helps with the recoil bite—I get very little recoil with this pistol. Another consideration with any gun and especially one that you would rely on to protect your life or the lives of your loved ones is reliability. The gun has to go bang every time, and this one does. Another reason I like it is it is not too “fat”. Thick guns are hard to conceal (if you are inclined to carry concealed), especially on a small framed individual, and I can carry this one in my favorite holster and only I know it’s there (okay, maybe my husband can tell). I have picked up the Kahr pistols and really like the feel of them—maybe someday I’ll move up to a Kahr .40 if I ever have that much cash laying around! :)
.22: Marlin Model 60. This is no status symbol gun, but it is fun to shoot, accurate, and lighter weight with a shorter stock than the Ruger 10/22. And did I mention it’s cheap? What more could you want for a plinker rifle?
Shotgun: Remington 870. I do not own this one, it’s on my wish list, but I’ve done a lot of shooting with my friend’s. His is a 12 ga right out of the box so I always go home with bruises on my arm from not being able to get it shouldered properly. These shotguns are readily available, dang fun shooters, and cheap in the realm of shotguns. The 20 gauge youth model is a fantastic fit for smaller people. I really want a 12 gauge so my husband can shoot it also, and I can shoot 12 ga. target loads all day long with the right stock fit, so am looking at aftermarket adjustable stocks for the 870 12 ga. Remington told me their 16 ga. youth stock will interchange with their 12 ga 870, so there are options to get a youth size 12 ga. shotgun, I’ll just have to work a little harder for it.
So ladies, if you’ve never liked shooting, but you’ve always just shot the guns your husband/dad/boyfriend used, look for something that fits right and give it another try—you might be pleasantly surprised. Handle as many guns as you can get your hands on, and fire as many as you can before making your decision (most friends with guns would be more than happy to let you try their guns out, and there are ranges that will rent you different guns also—check around). And whatever you decide on, I’d also recommend some training. Some ranges have a ladies’ night if you don’t want to go shoot with a bunch of guys. Husbands/boyfriends/dads, if you’re looking to buy your girl a new gun, make sure to take her with you to handle them—you’ll both be happier with the purchase that way. A comfortable gun makes all the difference between loving shooting and hating it. | weapons_science |

Decision Hiroshima-Nagasaki Find short, descriptive links to many of the important documents surrounding the decision to use the atomic bomb on Japan here. Therefore, due to the Japanese government and military refusing surrender on peaceful terms, the USA was justified in dropping the atomic bomb on Japan.
It was predicted that the invasion of the Japanese mainland at the Island of Kyushu, scheduled for November ofwould be even worse.
Why the us should have dropped American spies had cracked Japanese codes, the US Government were now aware that the emperor had given his support to the idea of using the neutral Soviet Union as a pathway between peace negotiations with the Allies.
Thousands attend the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Ceremony annually. As outlined previously, the alternative was to invade Japan, causing massive losses of lives on both sides. But would even one more Allied death have been worth not dropping the bomb, in the minds of the president and his advisors, after six years of the worst fighting in the history of the human race?
American soldiers and civilians were weary from four years of war, yet the Japanese military was refusing to give up their fight. At the time, there was massive speculation surrounding the attack. Alperovitz, GAtomic Diplomacy: More Essay Examples on Hiroshima Rubric Despite this opportunity, the Japanese chose to ignore the warning, thus, the US decided to administer the use of their newly developed nuclear weapons and drop the atomic bombs on Japan with both hope and belief that the Japanese would be forced to surrender and thus, ending the war on American terms.
Truman saw little difference between atomic bombing Hiroshima and fire bombing Dresden or Tokyo. Here, I will candidly admit that I am not objective about this question. Other historians have said that the US dropped them simply to show their might and assert their authority.
After careful assessment, only one of these options seemed ideal. Surrender was out of the question. Therefore, despite the attack affecting civilians, the main target was purely military, thus, the USA was justified in dropping the atomic bombs on Japan.

I’ve been working on this for roughly the last year, off and on (mostly off), just in the design stage. It took a while to wrap my head around how it works, and to come up with a fairly simple way of doing it that only uses flat parts. Flat parts because I would eventually like to make this into a real knife made from good quality steel, and it’s much easier to machine by hand parts that are of a uniform thickness.
A few days ago I decided to take the next step and actually build it from wood, just to see how well it worked.
I resized the parts up to twice as big and printed it with the dimensions. I figured I’d have a better chance of success by making the prototype bigger, since it would be easier to make the parts from wood:
I made most of the parts from 1/4″ plywood, carefully cutting them out. These are the main components for the mechanism – the slide that pulls the “U” shaped parts that will launch the blade forward or back:
I say “launch” because that’s basically how the mechanism works: the “U” shaped parts only move a short distance under spring power, and that is supposed to provide enough force to propel the blade all the way forward or all the way back. This relies on the mass of the blade and momentum.
To lock the blade in the forward (open) position, or the back (closed) position, there are wooden springs that engage with the end of the blade when it’s open, and a notch in the blade when it’s closed:
These springs are pushed aside by the slide, which has ramped sections. As the slide moves back, it pushes the spring out of the notch in the blade, releasing the blade. As it slides forward, it pushes the spring aside and the blade is free to come back.
It’s a fairly complex concept and all of the parts need to work precisely for it to function properly, so a prototype is a very good way to actually see the potential problems.
The mechanism needs a good bit of spring tension to propel the blade back and forth, and that was a problem. When I added what I thought was enough, it caused the “U” shaped parts to press down on the slide, which in turn pressed down on the blade. The result was a lot of friction that kept the blade from moving freely. I have since come up with a way to overcome this problem, but there are still a lot of other things to work out. The overall size of the knife – it’s too bulky as it was designed. To make it from steel, I could vastly reduce the size of the parts, but it would still be fairly large, mainly because of the size of the spring needed for it to work.
I’ve been thinking that it could be made smaller if I used two compression springs, rather than one bigger tension spring, and that would be my next step in the design. In the prototype, the blade is made from wood and doesn’t seem to have enough mass to overcome even a small amount of friction, so the real blade would have to be heavier. Possibly drilling out the base of the blade and fill it in with a heavier metal, like lead, would increase the mass enough to carry the blade forward.
If you would like more detail or to show something that you’ve made, I started a forum topic on the switchblade knife design. I’ll be posting details on my progress there.
I made a video talking about the problems with the knife and showing how it works: | weapons_science |

shot down in the Chebra area of Assam shows that while this weapon is somewhat similar to and evidently
was designed on the lines of the U.S. Browning aircraft machine gun fixed mount, cal. .50, M1921, (accompanying
sketches showing comparison). Interchangeability of parts between the Japanese and American weapons
will result in malfunctions because of looseness in fitting.
The 12.7-mm Japanese aircraft machine gun is recoil-operated, assisted by a muzzle
recoil booster. It is air cooled and belt fed. The gun examined was manufactured in
October, 1942. The following general description applies to both Japanese
models, 389 and 486.
|Weight (unmounted)|| ||51 1/2 lbs|
|Method of feed||belt|
|Overall length||49 in|
|Length of barrel||31 1/2 in|
|Number of grooves||7|
|Rifling||uniform lh twist|
The gun captured in Assam, Model 486, is belt-fed from the left while a
similar gun, Model 389, also a captured weapon, is belt-fed from the right. There
is non-interchangeability of feed from right to left.
Selective feed is not provided. Each gun is designed to feed from
one side only, right or left. Ammunition found with the Model 486 gun
indicates that a metallic disintegrating link belt is used. Very few
parts are marked with the gun number.
Comparison of Japanese Aircraft MG's with Browning M1921
The trigger assembly is so adjusted that the weapon may be fired from a
closed bolt or open bolt. These "various" phases may be operated from
remote control but change from one phase to another requires manual adjustment.
The Japanese weapons fire a smaller cartridge than the U.S. cal. .50 Browning. Therefore
the receiver bolt and main assemblies are smaller and non-interchangeable.
*The Japanese 12.7-mm aircraft machine gun was first mentioned in
Tactical and Technical Trends, No. 25, p. 4 in

A Versatile and Reliable Tool for the Great Outdoors!I wanted to share with you my experience using the BPS Knives Adventurer – Bushcraft Knife. As someone who spends a lot of time camping and hiking, having a reliable knife is an essential tool to have.One of the standout features of this knife is its incredible sharpness. The blade is razor-sharp straight out of the box, and it holds its edge exceptionally well, allowing for precise cutting and slicing. Whether you’re preparing food, building a shelter, or cutting through rope or branches, this knife is up to the task.The full tang design of the BPS Knives Adventurer provides excellent balance and control, making it easy to handle and use even for extended periods. The leather sheath that comes with the knife is also of high quality, providing a secure and convenient way to carry the knife with you on all your outdoor adventures.But what really impressed me was the firestarter that comes with the knife. It’s such a practical feature, and it’s saved me a few times when I’ve struggled to get a fire going. Having a knife and firestarter in one tool is incredibly convenient and just makes sense.Overall, I think the BPS Knives Adventurer – Bushcraft Knife is a must-have tool for anyone who loves spending time in the great outdoors. It’s durable, reliable, and incredibly versatile, making it a valuable addition to any camping or hiking trip.
William Parchim –
Great Camp KnifeThis is a must have if you are looking for a great bush knife. Made from 3061 high carbon steel, this knife takes and keeps an edge like none of my other 40+ knives. It is hand made by an artisan who obviously cares about his craftmanship. The knife comes wrapped in paper and is pre-oiled out of the box. All I did was some minor clean up, reoil and she is ready to go. The steel blade is finished to a high shine (looks like stainless steel). The BPS brand is so good I ordered two other models in the BPS lineup.

All work no hypeI didn’t know anything about these knives until a camp friend told me his experience with it. For my use ( bushcraft camping) this is by far one of the best knives I’ve ever used! And I have used and carried some of the biggest names (and price points). So as far as my personal experience goes I would put this right up there with ANY of the big name big price knives. But just my experience/opinion speaking. I’ve used this on several camping trips so far and it checks off every box. It’s handled every camp chore I’ve thrown at it. It’s got good edge retention, good grips, a flat 90° spine for fire striking, the blade (for me) is in that perfect sweet spot for size and profile. I’ve processed game with it and cut kindling The only addition I would make is some jimping on the spine for blade control with fine tasks. I recommend this as an option for camping and camp chores hands down.

Great, basic bushcraft knifeSo first, I love that this knife is made in Ukraine. I’m happy to support a business there that’s thriving while that country is under attack.This knife is really well made as a basic bushcraft tool. It’s not one of the huge ones, but it checks all of the right boxes for me. Carbon steel, full tang, wood handle (nicely book matched, removable scales), choil, 90° spine, decent leather sheath, and it fits nicely in my medium to large hand. Pretty sharp out of the box, but you know I’m going to spend a little time with it on the strop anyway, right? I mean, we can always improve things a little. It’s what most of us do! At this price point especially, you just can’t beat the quality. Combine it with a good hatchet or pack axe, and you’ll be able to handle most outdoor chores with this knife. Take care of it by linseed oiling the scales and keeping the blade clean and free of moisture, and it will last a lifetime.

My Favorite KnifeThis is currently my favorite knife. I did baton it on a tree stump. I have also whittled sticks with it. It has held up in both ends of the spectrum of tasks. I have not yet used the fire starter yet. I haven’t had any issues with the knife and don’t see any folding, nicking, or bending of the metal. The wooden handle is super comfortable to hold, and the sheathe is a nice excellent. While writing this review, I’m contemplating buying another one.
Great knife for kitchen or campIve tried to use this knife for everything from the kitchen to bush craft to working around the property, I intended to tear this thing apart through use and abuse. I do need to say that when I say “abuse” I do not mean neglect. I take care of it and it continues to be the perfect tool to have with me. I have respect for this knife. I do my part and it does everything I need it to do.A knife like this at this price point is a wise purchase.4/18/2023 I have been torturing this knife and I am so impressed. Man I can not say enough about this knife. WOW!
Luv th quality!I am so impressed by this knife..th sheath itself is worth th money..I was watching a Dave & Nick video as he did a video on both of these new knives..I chose th full tang cuz that’s my “thing”..Th price was right so I took th chance..aside from my Mora Bushcraft Black, it is a new EDC for me..I’m luvin it..it was a must for me to oil it good, altho I may put a patina on it so it won’t rust, it is 1095 steel, perfect w a ferro rod, which it comes w, sharp on th spine already..I won’t use this ferro rod but keep it in its place as an emergency rod & use th one on my carry evryday..I’m glad I purchased this knife..I’m proud of it already..🤗
Well deserved 5 star product for a great price.Excellent quality knife and sheath (sheath alone is worth the purchase price) at a great price that will perfectly do whatever you demand from it. No need to pay $100+ for a bushcraft knife you will beat the heck out of, this knife stands up to the punishment.Seriously, who cares if it’s 1066 steel and will rust easier than more expensive steels, its a knife you beat up, coat it in oil and sharpen/hone as needed.
Ahmad kaveh –
Amazing knifeNot sure why there is any bad reviews. This is an amazing knife, razor sharp out of the box. Has an amazing sheath too. It’s carbon so if you don’t take care of it after you use it will rust. If you don’t like rust then buy stainless but this keeps its edge a lot better and longer than stainless keep that in mind when buying.Update: I have used It heavily and still going strong after months, I do strop and sharpen it once a week or after each backcountry or camp trip. The Rod sucks but the knife and sheath are a great deal and my favorite go to out of my collection.
thomas j wildeman –
Incredible valueThis bushcraft knife is a fantastic value. If you keep it wiped with mineral oil it give you no grief with rust. The leather sheath is very well done. The scandi grind is very precise and sharp; easy for a schmuck like me to sharpen. The scales could be sanded and oiled to personal preference; and this I did do. A very good camping/bushcrafting knife by any standard; a fantastic value when you compare it. Highly recommended. | weapons_science |

While the M16 was America’s pride and joy and the symbol of “freedom” throughout the wars fought during the second half of the twentieth century, the AK-47, also known as the Kalashnikov, was the weapon of choice for liberation, an icon of revolution, and of communism. Both assault rifles have been branded “weapons of peace” by their corresponding nations. Gun enthusiasts to this day still continue to compare the advantages and weaknesses of their preferred guns. Ironically, those same guns still meet on today’s battlefields.
The AK-47 vs. M16 is thus a series of performances, the result of which (captured on ultra-highspeed video and in ballistics gel blocks) allow the human eye to see the projectiles’ flight path, the explosion, and the fusion.

A Russian combat ship preparing for a holiday celebration accidentally fired a dummy artillery shell and landed just feet from an apartment building in the port city of Vladivostok, The Moscow Times reported on Monday.
No one was injured but the shell’s impact broke windows and left a small crater outside the nine-storey structure.
The anti-ship shell was fired during the military parade drills for Sunday’s Navy Day celebrations. For reasons yet to be determined, the slug veered off the set trajectory and landed in the courtyard.
Military officials said there were no explosives in the dummy shell and it was intended only to make a sound effect for the parade. Bomb disposal experts were sent to dig out and remove it.
A similar incident occurred in the Leningrad region in late May when a warship in the Gulf of Finland fired 14 shells in the direction of a dacha settlement on shore. | weapons_science |

SPRINGFIELD - Smith & Wesson Corp. is recalling certain pistols that could fire without the trigger being pulled.
The gun maker said it was recalling all Walther PPK and PPK/S pistols that it manufactured from March 21, 2002, until Feb. 3, 2009.
The company posted a recall notice Friday on its Web site and offered additional details in a Securities and Ex- change Commission filing Tuesday.
"We have not had any instances of injuries. But a couple of pistols came back for repair in which we saw a problem," said Paul J. Pluff, a spokesman for the gunmaker.
"A certain percentage of the guns (manufactured in a specific range of serial numbers) have the potential to do that. So we're making the effort to go out and find all the pistols with those serial numbers," he said.
The problem relates to the timing of the mechanism that blocks the hammer to prevent it from coming into contact with the cartridge when the pistol is not being used, Pluff said. The timing may be off on some models in the affected range of serial numbers so that even though the trigger is not being employed, if the hammer were to be pulled back more than half way, the hammer block would pull away enough to reveal the chambered cartridge to the hammer. If the hammer should be released suddenly, the cartridge might fire, he said.
The online notice and regulatory filing did not specify how many guns were being recalled. The filing said, "While we have no reason to believe that the condition affects every pistol produced during the designated period, we have chosen in the interest of safety to replace the hammer block in every pistol that is returned."
Customers with the affected pistols can send them back to the company, and have them returned with a new part, at no cost, the company said.
Smith & Wesson, which has about 900 employees in Springfield, said it has established a financial reserve to cover recall costs related to the recall. The company estimates the costs will trim $900,000 to $1.3 million from its quarterly profit.
For more information on the recall, including serial numbers of the affected pistols, visit Smith & Wesson's Web site www.smith-wesson.com - or call 1-800-331-0852. | weapons_science |
https://www.edcweapon.com/blogs/self-defense-weapon/learn-to-assemble-the-best-self-defense-kit-by-yourself | 2021-01-16T05:54:50 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-04/segments/1610703500028.5/warc/CC-MAIN-20210116044418-20210116074418-00485.warc.gz | 0.954104 | 1,053 | CC-MAIN-2021-04 | webtext-fineweb__CC-MAIN-2021-04__0__135301687 | en | Carrying a weapon to protect yourself is inevitable these days. With increasing stories of murders, aggressions, and rape cases that we see in the news, the feeling of insecurity keeps on rising. People are enrolling themselves in self defense schools to learn how they can stay safe and defend against unexpected attackers. Some also question themselves about carrying a weapon or two. Many prefer a self defense kit that they can use depending on the situation. In this article, you will learn why you need a self defense kit to protect yourself in dangerous situations and how you can assemble it.
Why you Need a Self Defense Kit
The reason why you need a kit for self defense is that your first move fails sometimes. Maybe the attacker is active enough to block your attack, or he/she is aware of the weapon you have. If you have other options, you can surprise your attacker with multiple moves and divert their attention to escape unharmed. Having more than one tool can work as a backup.
You can also use the weapon depending on the situation. For instance, if the attacker is tall and you cannot aim for his face to punch with a knuckle, you can use kubotan self defense weapon on any pressure point that you can quickly strike. So, having multiple options of weapons or a self defense kit can be useful in many ways.
What Self Defense Weapons You Can Add in Your Self Defense Kit
Here are some options that you can choose as self defense weapons:
1. Stun Guns or Tasers
The first weapon that will go perfectly in your self defense kit should be a stun gun or a taser. While they look the same, they are slightly different in the way they work. You fire a taser device from a short distance from the attacker. The two pointed prongs will hit the attacker, and you can disarm them with the electric shock. On the other hand, a stun gun is not a ranged weapon, but works like a taser.
Both weapons contain super-high voltage. They are non-lethal and have ability to incapacitate your target. You can add any one of these self defense weapons to your kit.
2. Self Defense Keychain
The best weapon for self defense is easy to get a grip on whenever you are under attack. Additionally, it should be easy to carry and discrete. You can consider pocket knives, but knives are not concealable, and the attacker can easily spot your knife, whereas, if you are holding your keys in your hand, this will look less suspicious.
So why not you add a weapon in your self defense kit that is attached to your keys? Well, self defense keychain is the best concealable, lightweight, and easy to carry weapon. These self defense weapons come in different non-suspicious designs that cannot be considered as a weapon until used.
3. Brass Knuckles Self Defense
You have to take measures to improve your security no matter where you live. You need to keep yourself safe and stay attentive around suspicious people. To protect yourself, you should carry a weapon that can multiply the pressure of your punch. For that, you need a brass knuckle or knuckle duster. Brass knuckles self defense weapons are famous around the world for protection on the streets. These self defense weapons can be life-saving, but only if you know how to use them. You need some training and techniques to use them effectively. Here are some factors that make this tool necessary a perfect addition to your self defense kit.
- You can easily conceal it
- It is a non-lethal weapon
- If you punch rightly, the attacker cannot attack back
4. Baton, Kubotan or Tactical Pen
i) Steel Baton
These self defense weapons are easy to use, lightweight, and collapsible. Steel batons are a popular choice for people who are looking to protect themselves. Below are some advantages of this weapon, which should convince you to add them to your self defense kit:
- They are compact
- You can use them after some basic training
- They have a significant impact
- You can take them to places where many self defense weapons are not allowed
Kubotan self defense weapon is effective because it is non-invasive. This weapon can surprise your attacker and help you flee from the situation. The size of a kubotan is around four to five inches in length and the diameter is half an inch, which makes this tool ideal for carrying with you. You should include this in your self defense kit rather than some heavy mechanical item that needs more effort to operate and is hard to conceal.
iii) Tactical Pen
The tactical pen works as a survival multi-tool and is often the first suggestion from specialists. This self defense tool looks exactly like a traditional pen in its appearance, shape, and size. You can also write with this pen. The difference is that it can be used to strike your attacker to defend yourself. A tactical pen is a powerful tool that should be included in any self defense kit. These self defense weapons are easy to carry and quite small, so that you can keep them in your pocket without anyone noticing. | weapons_science |

But because of improvements in technology and demands of consumers it is not uncommon these days to find stun guns constantly in the 3,000,000 to 20,000,000 volt range and indeed a lot more powerful stun guns.
With acts of violence against girls an ever-increasing threat, stun gun manufacturers like Stun Master and others have made significant advances in creating smaller, more powerful stun guns. And believe it or not they are actually cheaper than they were even 5 years ago.

Since the game is based on the battle royale genre, killing enemies is a core gameplay element. Therefore, choosing the best gun combinations according to the map and playstyle becomes crucial.
Players playing on Miramar must respect the map’s geography and choose weapons accordingly. Here’s a guide to choosing the best firearm combinations in Miramar.
The M416 and AKM combo is among the iconic gun combinations in the game. While the M416 provides stability and increases the accuracy of sprays, the AKM is known for its robust damage inflicting capacity. Since both guns are easily available around Miramar, the combination is easy to equip and play with.
2) M416 and Kar98K
The combination of the M416 and Kar98K is widely popular amongst players of Battlegrounds Mobile India. Players can use the combination to engage in fights at different ranges in Miramar.
The combination has proved to be effective previously, and it will continue to do so in 2022 as the Kar98K as a sniper compliments the M416, which is an Assault Rifle.
The Beryl M762 and UMP 45 is a deadly combination. Many BGMI streamers and pro players who play matches in Miramar use the gun combination effectively.
Ocean Sharma says the “UMP is broken,” referring to the gun’s devastating damage dealing power. To compliment the UMP 45’s high damage, players can also carry a Scar-L, which is known for its high headshot percentage.
Both the Groza and AWM are exclusive airdrop weapons. While the Groza is a close-range beast, the AWM is the most powerful gun in the entire game and can knock down any enemy with a single headshot. With the Groza and AWM, players can easily take down opponents in Miramar.
5) Micro Uzi and M24
The combination of the Micro Uzi and M24 is mostly used by BGMI rank pushers in Miramar, who either engage in close-range or long-range fights. While the M24 is a single-shot sniper and can knock down an enemy wearing a Level 2 helmet with one headshot, the Micro Uzi’s explosive burst fire rate makes it a deadly SMG to use at close-range.

The HMS Guide Me II was a steam drifter built in Aberdeen, Scotland in 1907. In March of 1915 she was hired by the Admiralty and converted into an anti-submarine coastal gunboat during the First World War and armed with a single 6-pounder deck gun.
The drifter sunk on 29th August 1918 after a collision with another vessel while on patrol. The impact left a large hole in the starboard side and the ship sank about 2 kilometers off the Muglins. All the crew were lost.
The 100 tonne wreck was discovered in 1990 by Ivan Tunstead and during that same year he recovered the 6-pounder gun. A live round was found in the breech when the gun was raised and was disarmed and made safe.
For several years it’s been in storage at the back of the museum but was recently sent to Cork for restoration work and now has been remounted and put on display in front of the National Maritime Museum.
Today the wreck of the Guide Me II is a popular dive site lying at a depth of about 37 metres around 2.5 km south of the Muglins off Dalkey. There is a vast array of marine life around the wreck and it’s possible to partly enter the wreck through the gash on her side. | weapons_science |

“We will continue to work closely with international and regional partners to respond appropriately to North Korea’s actions, in an effort to curb this unwarranted, irresponsible and dangerous behaviour.
“Canada strongly supports efforts underway in the UN Security Council to agree to significant measures to hold North Korea accountable for its actions.” | weapons_science |

Earlier than Sunday, China final launched an anti-ballistic missile take a look at in February 2021, in accordance with state media.
“China is planning to construct a multilayered missile protection system which consists of a number of parts,” stated Tong Zhao, senior fellow within the Nuclear Coverage Program on the Carnegie Endowment for Worldwide Peace.
These efforts purpose to sort out short-range, medium-range and long-range missiles; thus far, China has developed the HQ9 and HQ19 missile protection techniques for the primary two, and has not but publicly introduced the event of a system that may intercept longer-range and intercontinental ballistic missiles, Zhao stated.
It is unclear which system was examined on Sunday, as Chinese language officers did not launch any additional info.
However gauging by the dimensions of the closed airspace, it may have been the medium-range HQ19, just like the US’ Terminal Excessive Altitude Space Protection (THAAD) system, or a special new mid-course system, Zhao stated.
It seems just like the “hit-to-kill” missiles the US has been utilizing, he added, referring to expertise that permits the interceptor to hit and fully destroy incoming threats.
The take a look at comes amid rising tensions within the area, with a latest spate of missile exams from North Korea together with short-range ballistic missiles and a presumed ICBM. South Korean and US officers have additionally warned that renewed exercise at North Korea’s nuclear take a look at website suggests the nation may conduct a nuclear take a look at any day — its first since 2017.
South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol, who took workplace in Could, has vowed to take a harder stance on North Korea — and instructed he would search to put in a second anti-ballistic missile system.
In 2016, when South Korea introduced it might deploy the US-built THAAD system, it sparked a year-long diplomatic feud with China, which argued the missile protection system would jeopardize its personal nationwide safety.
THAAD is designed to shoot down brief, medium and intermediate ballistic missiles and is utilized by the US navy to guard items in locations like Guam and Hawaii.
Regardless of its criticism of South Korea’s use of THAAD, China has good motive to develop its personal missile defend program, stated Zhao.
“China simply can’t let itself lag behind on this essential space of navy technological competitors,” he stated. “China is taking a look at different main powers. US is the first concern, however Russia can be creating more and more succesful missile protection applied sciences.”
And although North Korea’s missile testing has alarmed South Korea and Western observers, Beijing’s pleasant relationship with the North means it’s doubtless extra involved about different threats — resembling from India, with which it shares long-simmering border tensions, and the US, which has deployed navy property within the area near China.
Earlier in Could, China criticized the USA for deploying medium-range ballistic missiles within the Asia Pacific area, saying it made a “gravely damaging influence” on worldwide arms management. | weapons_science |

From terror attacks to bomb threats, the need for personal protection and safety cannot be ignored. The bomb blanket is one of the most innovative technologies made to counteract the ever-growing threat of explosives. This article covers everything you need to know about bomb blankets, including how they work, types, and their significance in today’s world.
First off, what exactly is a bomb blanket? A bomb blanket is a protective tool designed for bomb technicians and other personnel who handle explosive ordnance to protect them from the impact of explosives, shrapnel, and fragments. The blanket is constructed with layers of reinforcing material that helps to contain the blast and fragmentation. The inner layers absorb the impact of the device, while the outer layers act as a barrier to prevent shrapnel from penetrating the blanket and causing harm.
There are two primary types of bomb blankets: soft and hard. The soft blanket is constructed with a low-density material like Kevlar, which has excellent strength and provides optimal resistance to the blast and fragmentation. Hard blankets, on the other hand, are made of steel or composite materials and are suited for high-risk scenarios. The hard blankets provide superior penetration resistance against high-velocity fragments and are ideal for bomb disposal operations.
The significance of bomb blankets in today’s world cannot be stressed enough. In the past decade, the number of bombing incidents worldwide has surged significantly, making the use of bomb blankets a critical safety measure. A bomb blanket is standard equipment in bomb disposal units, army bases, public transportation systems, stadiums, and other high-risk venues. The use of bomb blankets helps to prevent injury and reduce the risk of fatalities in the event of a blast.
Bomb blankets come in various sizes and designs, thus making them versatile and multi-purpose. They can be used to protect personnel, vehicles, buildings, and other infrastructure from the impact of a blast and fragmentation. Other uses of the bomb blanket include using them as a shield during hostage situations and providing cover in active shooter scenarios. The blanket’s versatility and ability to provide protection in different scenarios make it an essential tool in today’s security landscape.
In conclusion, the bomb blanket plays a significant role in protecting personnel and infrastructure from the impact of explosives in today’s world. The blanket’s construction, with layers of reinforcing material, designs, and versatility, makes it a critical tool in various security and public safety scenarios. The use of bomb blankets has undoubtedly saved countless lives and prevented severe injuries in recent years. As the world becomes more volatile, the importance of bomb blankets in today’s security landscape cannot be underestimated. | weapons_science |

Winchester –
A man of vision and influence
Oliver Fisher Winchester was an innovative and driven man who saw the future of firearms and built an industrial empire around the lever-action rifle.
Born in Boston in 1810, Winchester’s initial foray into business was as a maker of men’s shirts. Seeing the economic potential of the fast-growing firearms industry, Winchester began to assemble investors and secure venture capital, and in 1857 bought a controlling interest in the Volcanic
Repeating Arms Company from two inventive gentlemen named Horace Smith and Daniel B. Wesson.
Winchester continued to refine firearm designs with inventors Benjamin Tyler Henry and Nelson King, and on May 22,1866 the Winchester Repeating Arms Company was born. For the next 14 years Winchester aggressively sought new markets, created new products and explored new opportunities for his lever-action rifles. With the opening of the American West to settlement and the ongoing military conflicts in Europe and the Near East, the demand for Winchester firearms and ammunition remained strong.
In ill health for some time, Oliver F. Winchester died December 11, 1880 at age 70 in New Haven, Connecticut. He had groomed his son, William Wirt Winchester as his successor, but the younger Winchester died of tuberculosis in March of the following year before he could assume control of Winchester Repeating Arms.
The Model 1876 Centennial Model became the favorite hunting rifle of Theodore Roosevelt when he was a young cattle rancher in the Dakota Territory. In 1885 Roosevelt wrote, “The Winchester…is by all odds the best weapon I ever had, and now I use it almost exclusively...”
In 1887 Roosevelt helped found the Boone and Crockett Club to encourage wildlife conservation and fair-chase hunting practices. Throughout his life Roosevelt worked tirelessly to champion civilian and military marksmanship, wildlife preservation and natural resource conservation.
The gun that won the western
When the American cinema industry moved to southern California to take advantage of the endless sunshine, Westerns quickly became a mainstay of the movies, featuring cowboys, Indians, outlaws, horse-drawn supply wagons, runaway stagecoaches and exciting shootouts in smoky bars and dusty streets.
The Winchester Model 1892 lever-action rifle quickly established itself as the movie-maker’s favorite, while revolvers chambered in 38-40 Win., 44-40 Win. and 45 Colt were also popular.
The 1939 film «Stagecoach», shot in Monument Valley by John Ford, has become one of the classic Westerns. In it, John Wayne, playing Johnny Ringo, carried a Winchester Model 1892 lever-action repeating rifle that was specially made to fit his big hands. Wayne also won the Academy Award for Best Actor for his portrayal of U.S. Marshal Ruben «Rooster» J. Cogburn in the 1969 film «True Grit», in which he also used a Winchester Model 1892 during the final shootout on horseback against a gang of outlaws.
The 1950 Western «Winchester ‘73» starring James Stewart was based on the life of Kansas outlaw Henry N. Brown, who ended up lynched by a mob after a failed bank robbery in 1883.
Steve McQueen, nicknamed «the King of Cool», began his acting career as bounty hunter Josh Randall in «Wanted: Dead or Alive».
In it, he carried a sawn-off Winchester Model 1892 nicknamed the «Mare’s Leg» in a holster, which could be drawn quickly.
In the mid-1960s, «Spaghetti Westerns», so called because they were filmed in Spain and Italy, gained popularity with movie fans around the world. The premiere of «A Fistful of Dollars», the first film in Sergio Leone’s «Dollars» trilogy, took American TV actor Clint Eastwood to global silver-screen stardom. These films featured flawless supporting roles by certain Winchester rifles.
Westerns have enjoyed a revival in recent decades. Original studio productions such as «Silverado», «Unforgiven» and «Open Range», together with remakes of classics such as «3:10 to Yuma» and «True Grit», still have the power to entertain and enthrall audiences. They take us on a journey back to the Wild West, a time when a Winchester shotgun or rifle was a faithful friend.
As long as there have been beautiful Winchester guns there have been folks who want to add them to their collections.
In 1875, the Winchester Repeating Arms company started bringing out superior grade Model 1873 rifles that were specially stamped «One of One Hundred» and «One of One Thousand». This unique feature stimulated demand from early Winchester collectors.
Multi-decorated and ornate Winchester guns have always been popular with collectors. Oliver Winchester presented many superbly engraved guns to influential people in person, including President Abraham Lincoln and his Secretary of War Edwin Stanton, as well as to a number of generals, kings, princes and monarchs.A devoted Winchester collector was industrialist and former president of Olin Corporation John Olin.
In 1975 Olin began the transfer of thousands of firearms and millions of historic documents from the Winchester corporate archives to the Buffalo Bill Historic Center in Cody, Wyoming. Later, part of Mr. Olin’s personal gun collection was auctioned to provide funds to create the Winchester Museum Complex in Cody. The Cody Firearms Museum now houses one of the largest collections of firearms in the world and is open to the public year-round. You can learn more at www.centerofthewest.org
Some collectors choose to specialize in specific models or types of Winchester guns, or love the factory commemoratives or firearms with a unique story behind them. Still others collect rare Winchester-branded items like hand tools, knives, toys, rollerskates, sporting goods, flashlights and home appliances or Winchester promotional items like calendars, ads, posters and the like.If you enjoy collecting, there’s something in the Wonderful World of Winchester that’s just right for you.
The Winchester Arms Collectors Association is made up of thousands of members who are devoted to the preservation, understanding and collecting of Winchester firearms and related products as well as the role these products had in forging America’s heritage.

The New York Times is reporting that the informant who tipped off the CIA to the plot was the suicide bomber himself. This agent infiltrated the Yemen-based terror cell, volunteered for the suicide mission, and eventually left Yemen with the bomb and delivered it to CIA and other inteliigence agencies, the newspaper reported. This underwear bomb is reportedly more sophisticated than the one used in an unsuccessful airplane bombing over Detroit on Christmas Day in 2009. A U.S. official told the newspaper that this underwear bomb could be detonated two ways in case one method failed, and "undoubtedly would have brought down an aircraft," the newspaper reported.
The informant also delivered information that led to the drone strike that killed Fahd al-Quso, a senior AQAP member, on Sunday.
The name and nationality of the agent is understandably not being disclosed. Though it was disclosed that it was not the CIA that recruited him.

1. All shooting must be done from the standing or sitting position with the barrel above the shooting bench. Shooting from a kneeling or prone position is PROHIBITED between the shooting benches.
2. You may shoot from the standing, kneeling, or prone position at targets set on the firing line north of the concrete shooting benches. The individual shooting lanes in this area are marked by yellow striping.
3. Shoot only at approved targets, which on this range are as follows:
a) Paper or cardboard targets mounted on club target stands, placed at 25, 50, 75, 100 or 200 yards. No cans, bottles, boxes, etc. are permitted.
b) Clay shotgun targets (pigeons) may be used as targets and must be placed on the face of the impact berm, no higher than 48 inches measured from the ground to the top of the target.
c) Personal target stands made from wood or PVC may be used and must be placed at 25, 50, 75, 100 or 200 yards. Personal target stands MUST be the same height as club target stands so bullets will die in the impact berm. d) Metal swingers may be used as targets but must be placed at the base of the 100-yard or 200- yard impact berm - no closer to the firing line than 100 yards for safety reasons (bullet splatter and ricochets), no exceptions. The top of metal swingers may not exceed 48” in height measured from the ground to the top of the metal.
4. All members must clearly communicate and receive acknowledgement of others when declaring the range COLD or HOT. The lead person declaring the range cold is responsible for turning the red lights on signaling that the range is COLD and its safe to go downrange. That same person remains the lead until until everyone is back behind the yellow safety line and the range is declared HOT and the red light turned off.
5. All UNCASED firearms must be transported to the firing line, shooting bench, or rifle racks UNLOADED with empty chamber flag inserted in the chamber, and pointed directly UP while the range is HOT only.
6. All rounds fired must come to rest in the impact berm.
7. Pick up, and properly dispose of, all fired cartridge cases.
Note: At Club approved matches, events or training classes, you may see a deviation from the standard range rules. Please do not think that as a general member you can mimic these actions as the Match Directors, Event Coordinator, or Instructor have taken additional safety precautions ensuring that the bullets die in the berm and the participants act in a safe manner whereby a Variance has been granted by the Board of Directors that is specific to that match, event or training class. At no time does this variance apply to the general membership or any other match or event. | weapons_science |

Human rights groups are complaining that there is growing evidence of Saudi warplanes dropping cluster bombs, provided to them by the United States on targets in Yemen’s northwest.
A global ban on cluster munitions was signed in 2008, though neither the United States nor Saudi Arabia was a signatory to the ban. The US continues to export the bombs, which leave unexploded bomblets across a area, often for years, but the Pentagon insists they only sell to countries that promise not to use them on civilians.
Yet America’s own recent history with cluster bombs is checkered, at best, having littered civilian populated areas in Iraq and Afghanistan with such bombs, leaving the brightly colored bomblets to be found by children. The US has similarly shipped the bombs to both ["]Israel["] and Saudi Arabia, ["]nations["] which have been racking up major civilian death tolls in recent wars.
Saudi Arabia is denying the use of cluster munitions, though photographs coming out of Yemen show what appear to be CBU-105 US-manufactured cluster munitions, which the US has supplied to both Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates in recent years.
The timing is particularly inopportune for the US, which has publicly backed the Saudi war but insists they are "concerned" about the growing civilian death toll. The Pentagon has also played a support role in the conflict. | weapons_science |

The United States awarded Saab an $81.8 million contract for the production and delivery of AT4 anti-tank weapons and Carl-Gustaf ammunition. The US Army, US Special Operations Command (SOCOM) and USMC will receive the armaments.
On September 7, Saab announced that an order worth SEK 812.7 million ($81.8 million) had been placed under an IDIQ framework contract that the US military had signed in 2019.
This agreement allows the United States to purchase AT4 single-shot shoulder-gun systems and Carl-Gustaf ammunition over five years. Deliveries of the anti-tank weapon and ammunition will begin in 2024.
The Swedish defense company says the Carl-Gustaf and AT4 weapons systems will continue to give American fighters “significantly lethal overkill” capabilities when fighting enemy armored forces.
“We are proud to provide the United States with a world-class, battlefield-proven, and effective multi-purpose shoulder-fire capability (anti-armor, anti-structure, anti-personnel, and illumination),” said Saab Chairman Erik Smith.
Saab’s Carl-Gustaf system, also known as MAAWS in the US, is a rechargeable, multi-purpose system used by US military forces since 1990.
The US military announced in 2018 that it would purchase the Carl-Gustaf M4, the newest version of the weapon (designated M3A1 in the US).
The AT4 is a shoulder-launched, disposable, preloaded, recoilless 84mm weapon with a flat trajectory and low dispersion, achieved through high velocity.
Increase in demand for Saab’s weapon systems
Several armed forces around the world have also placed Carl-Gustaf orders with Saab. In August, Norway signed a long-term agreement with the Swedish company to supply ammunition for the latest Carl-Gustaf variant.
The 15-year framework agreement provides for the supply of programmable high-explosive HE 448 cartridges. The ammunition is equipped with a multi-role fuse that can be launched in impact mode to pierce soft and semi-rugged vehicles or in airburst mode to destroy infantry in open fields or trenches.
Saab was also contracted to supply several Carl-Gustaf M4 recoilless guns and ammunition to Lithuania. The Lithuanian Defense Material Agency has ordered $16.7 million worth of ammunition under the framework agreement.
The next-generation weapon will be used in counterinsurgency and peacekeeping activities and in traditional force-on-force warfare in urban settings. Estonia and Latvia also sign the Carl-Gustaf framework agreement.
On May 3 and 4, Saab and its military partners staged a two-day live-fire demonstration of anti-armour, anti-structure and anti-personnel weapons. It was the biggest protest at the company’s headquarters since 2014.
These types of man-portable anti-armour devices are essential because “at the end of the day, the real war is on the ground,” Swedish army commander Major General Karl Lorentz Engelbrekt Engelbrektson told reporters in June.
The latest M4 version of the Carl Gustaf (also known as “Charlie G”, “Charlie Swede”, among other nicknames) 84mm recoilless rifle is Saab’s centerpiece of portable armament.
The system was developed and manufactured by Saab Bofors Dynamics in Karlskoga at the Swedish State Arsenal Carl Gustafs Stads Gevärsfaktori, originally established by Swedish King Charles X Gustav in the 17th century.
With the M4 weighing 7.5 pounds less than the previous model, Saab’s efforts to gradually lighten the system continue with this latest iteration of the well-known weapon. The weapon manufactured by the Swedish firm was also sent to Ukraine.
The Canadian government provided Kyiv with 100 launchers and 2,000 cartridges. In May, a video depicting an attack on the T-90M has been widely shared on Twitter, YouTube and other social media sites. The 127th Brigade of the Ukrainian Territorial Defense Force was recognized for the murder.
The video was posted on the Ukrainian Defense Ministry’s Twitter account with the caption: “Near Stary Saltiv, Kharkiv Territorial Defense fighters knocked out another new T-90 M’ Breakthrough’ tank.
The pride of the Russian tank industry was destroyed by the Swedish hand-held anti-tank grenade launcher – Carl Gustaf. We thank the Swedish people and the king for their help.

Sweden’s goals for its force structure are similar to what the Ukrainian Armed Forces encountered in their battle against Russia.
Nevertheless, to increase Saab’s production, the Swedish MoD and other customers need to make long-term commitments to larger orders, generating the necessary economies of scale. | weapons_science |

As a two-handed weapon, the Great Axe has slower damage output, but it more than makes up for it with being able to attack two or more targets at once. Additionally, higher-level Great Axe perks have some self-healing options as well, making the Great Axe one of the best weapons in New World.
Unlike weapons such as the Hatchet, Sword and Shield, or Spear, the Great Axe doesn’t have any ranged options for its Mastery Trees. Instead, its Mastery Trees are split into powerful single-target attacks and multi-target attacks. Both trees are excellent for damaging and crowd control, which is why the Great Axe is a useful weapon for both DPS-focused builds and Tanks Builds.
The Reaper is the first Mastery Tree for the Great Axe, and it has abilities that focus on bringing enemies closer to the player and finishing them off quickly. The Mauler tree focuses on bundling enemies together and attacking them all at once. Although the Mauler abilities deal less damage than the abilities in the Reaper tree, they require far less precision to land attacks. A Great Axe is easy to craft, but it can also be earned by claiming New World Twitch drops from select content creators.
These are the Great Axe abilities:
- Reap (Reaper): Extend the axe outward by 5 meters and pull enemies back in, dealing 110% weapon damage.
- Charge (Reaper): Charge 10 meters dealing 120% weapon damage after reaching a target.
- Execute (Reaper): A powerful overhead attack dealing 200% weapon damage. Deals 300% weapon damage to foes under 50% health.
- Maelstrom (Mauler): Fast-spinning attack that pulls targets inward and deals 110% weapon damage.
- Whirlwind (Mauler): Spin attack dealing 50% weapon damage to all nearby enemies. The user spins again if they land a hit, up to four times.
- Gravity Well (Mauler): Throw axe to create a vortex that pulls foes to its center for 3 seconds. The move ends with a burst dealing 125% weapon damage.
The best Great Axe build uses Execute, Maelstrom, and Whirlwind, all perfect abilities for a New World Tank Build. Since the Great Axe does a great job of handling crowds, abilities like Whirlwind and Maelstrom are ideal for separating a few members and landing multiple attacks. Execute is a powerful move that should be used to finish off enemies, which is particularly useful when a couple of enemies are close to one another. | weapons_science |

Moscow : President Vladimir Putin said Thursday Russia will continue to develop both nuclear and conventional components of its armed forces.
“We will not only focus on all components of the nuclear triad, meaning the strategic missile forces, strategic aviation and nuclear submarines, but also on other kinds of weapons,” Putin said in his annual question and answer session live on TV.
“A weapons development programme has been approved for development of all armed services and branches by 2015,” Putin said.
Russia already deployed 36 types of modern weaponry with the armed forces in the first half of 2007.
These weapon systems include the submarine-launched R-29RM Sineva ballistic missiles, the S-400 Triumf air defence complex, and the 120-mm Nona SM-1 towed mortar for ground forces.
Putin said Russia had been successfully developing new-generation ballistic missile systems while modernizing the existing missile complexes.
“We will continue developing missile technologies, including new-generation ballistic missiles,” the president said. “We will also prioritise the development of high-precision weaponry.”
Russia has recently conducted test launches of the Yarts land-based ballistic missile, the Bulava sea-launched ballistic missile, the X-102 airborne missile and a new version of the Iskander-M ballistic missile capable of carrying multiple warheads.
On Thursday, Russia’s Strategic Missile Forces announced a successful test launch of an RS-12 Topol ICBM (NATO reporting name SS-25 Sickle).
Topol missile systems have been in service since 1988 and their service life has been extended to 21 years. | weapons_science |

I had a wooden pop gun, which fired a lump of cork attached to the gun with a string, and made a great popping noise in the process.
I also had a plastic machine gun that made a rat-a-tat-a-tat type sound when you pulled the trigger, and I had a couple of brilliant cowboy style pistols (I guess mine was the last generation of kids to regularly play Cowboys and Indians!) which you could load up with those pink strips of paper caps, so the gun made a loud bang whenever you pressed the trigger.
The toy gun that I always wanted to have though was a Spud Gun, but my parents would never let me have one, saying it was too dangerous. “How could firing a small lump of potato be dangerous?“, I thought at the time, but now that I’m a parent myself I can see where they were coming from.
Armed with your Spud Gun and a potato you could have hours of fun shooting at targets like tin cans on fences, as the average potato could yield a ton of ammo. You just poked the end of the gun into the potato to cut out a little round slug of spud, which then shot out at great speed when the trigger was pressed. I believe they just worked through air pressure, but you could apparently get quite a good range out of them.
So were they really dangerous?
Well, the much loved phrase of parent “you could have somebodies eye out with that” probably holds true if wielded irresponsibly, but I think they toy variety are generally pretty safe. The same can’t be said for the other class of device that is also monikered with the same name, which I had no idea about until I came across the Wikipedia page on Spud Guns. The images I found there showed a breed of Spud Gun that had more in common with a rocket launcher or bazooka than a child’s plastic toy.
This also led me to another page talking about the legality of Spud Guns in different parts of the world. I kind of assume this is referring to the larger of the brethren, but in the US it depends on which State you are in as to the legality (for example they are completely illegal in Florida, whereas in New York it is legal to own one if you are over 16. In the UK you might be required to have a firearms licence for your Spud Gun if it can shoot with more the 4 Joules of energy, whilst in Poland they are considered fire arms and manufacturing them is a criminal offence. Interesting stuff! | weapons_science |

Alexander Tagum said.
Tagum told reporters hours after the noontime explosion that rocked the stockroom of the Explosive Ordnance Divisions (EOD) in Camp Domingo Leonor that the UXOs, recovered from construction sites of new buildings, were stored in a storage facility away from the EOD stockroom.
The EOD stockroom stored improvised explosive devices and grenades seized from various operations in the city for evidence in court.
Tagum said it would have done more damage if the explosion had reached the storage area of the UXOs.
“Kung UXOs flattened na ning kampo namo (If UXOs had exploded, our camp would have been flattened), he said.
He added most of the detonators of the UXOs had been eroded when recovered by authorities but the danger of explosion remains when there is a fire.
“Na defuse na, primarily because of the advanced erosion ng firing devices. Wala na (They have been defused primarily because their firing devices had been in advanced erosion state. No more),” he said.
“Matagal na hinahanapan ng proper na pagtataguan o proper na disposal (We’ve been looking for a proper storage or proper disposal area). Unfortunately, ongoing pa ang request,” Tagum said.
He said the EOD team investigating the noontime explosion suspected that either a grenade or an improvised explosive devise exploded at around 11:30 a.m., prompting the police to immediately leave the camp.
He said the EOD personnel are validating how many of the explosives went off.
He said the DCPO had already requested for the transfer of the remaining explosives from its care to the Police Regional Office-Davao.
“We have to follow the EOD protocol on the proper transport and removal of explosive items. Ayaw po namin mangyari na magkaroon ng secondary explosion because of this (We don’t want to have a secondary explosion because of this),” he said.
He said the explosives such as grenades and improvised explosive device were more volatile items.
He said authorities could not dispose of these items without a court order. (Antonio L. Colina IV / MindaNews) | weapons_science |

The Panzerkampfwagen III (also PzKpfw III or Panzer III) was a German medium tank in World War II. Intended as a standard model for the future tank divisions, it was equipped with an armor-piercing cannon for anti-tank combat, while the similar Panzer IV was to serve as a support vehicle. The Panzer III developed by Daimler-Benz, which was the most important German armored fighting vehicle in 1941 and 1942, did well in the first half of the war, but after that, with the appearance of more powerful enemy tanks, its combat value quickly declined due to the limited expandability. From 1936 to 1943 5,700 copies were produced, with the chassis being produced as the basis for the much more successful Sturmgeschütz III until the end of the war.

As a result of the extensive retrofitting campaigns, there was a large number of different vehicles, so that an unequivocal assignment to a specific version was not always possible. Due to the large number of versions, a description that applies equally to all models is not possible.
Turret and armament
The turret of Panzerkampfwagen III did not have a turret floor. The seat of the commander and the gunner was attached to the tower wall. The loader standing to the right of the main weapon had to constantly follow the turret movement. To see the outside, it had an observation opening on the right side of the tower, protected by a glass block and an external flap. A similar viewing flap was on the left side of the turret for the gunner. The turret was swiveled by hand, the cannon being fired electrically via a trigger located on the swivel drive. The axially parallel machine gun was operated mechanically with a pedal. The gunner and loader each had a side exit opening with two flaps. The commander sat raised in the middle of the turret directly behind the main weapon. He had a dome accessible with two entry flaps, which had five viewing slits protected by glass blocks and steel sliders for all-round visibility. In order to support the gunner in pivoting the turret, the commander had an additional handle on the right side. These two crew members also had a tower position indicator. There was an emergency exit on both sides of the armored hull, which was partially omitted from the L version and completely from the M version.

|The Panzerranate 40 was a hard-core bullet made of tungsten carbide, which, due to the lack of tungsten, was only available in small quantities or often not at all and production of which had to be abandoned in the summer of 1943. Successful trials with uranium ammunition in the spring of 1944 did not result in mass production due to a lack of material.|
Driver and radio station
The driver sat in the front left, with the gearbox and the instrument panel mounted above it being to the right of him. The viewing slit available to him was protected by a bulletproof glass block and an outer flap. With the flap closed, the driver looked through a periscope equipped with corner mirrors, for which two holes were drilled in the front above the visor. He had another observation opening on the left side, which was also protected by a glass block and an external flap. The radio operator sat in the front right, moving the machine gun with a headrest, which was seated in a ball socket in the front of the tub. The radio system he operated consisted of two receivers installed to the left of him above the gearbox, and a transmitter installed under a plate in front of him. The two meter long antenna was attached to the rear right of the command post and could be pulled inwards. Only the commander, the driver and the radio operator were equipped with headphones and a larynx microphone and thus connected to the radio system. Since only the radio operator could operate the radio system alone, it was possible that the commander and the radio operator were connected to two different lines, for example the commander on the internal intercom and the radio operator on the radio circuit of the commanding level. In order to still be able to draw attention to each other, both had a red and a green light bulb in their field of vision, which they could switch using a predefined signal sequence. The commander communicated directly with the gunner and loader, and from the L version the commander and gunner could communicate with an ear tube if there were particularly loud interior noises. There was also an observation opening on the right-hand side of the radio station. The driver and radio operator had no separate access hatches and had to get in and out of the command post.
Engine and power transmission
The 300 hp Maybach 12-cylinder gasoline engine built in from version F was located in the rear of the tank. A fuel tank, a battery box and a water cooler were located to the left and right of the centrally installed engine. Behind the radiators were the fans, which in terms of size took up the entire width of the engine compartment and ensured sufficient cooling at temperatures of up to 30 °. The cooling air was sucked in through slits at the side and discharged to the rear from the stern. The power flow went from the engine by means of a cardan shaft to the main clutch and from there to the transmission. From version H onwards, the hydraulically operated oil pressure clutch that had been installed up to that point was replaced by a dry three-plate clutch. In the first three series models - E, F and G - a Maybach-Variorex preselector was used as the transmission, which contained ten forward gears and one reverse gear. In order to change gear, the driver only had to press the clutch pedal after selecting a gear using the gear lever to trigger the automatic shifting process. This advanced but complicated transmission, which is difficult to maintain in the field, has been replaced by a synchronized six-speed transmission from version H onwards. The bevel drive with the steering gear was flanged to the gearbox, with two steering levers acting on the inner shoe brakes with hydraulic support - from version J with mechanical steering linkage. Then the power flow went to the chain drive wheels via the side gears flanged on the outside of the tub.
The tanks used in the Africa campaign were given special tropical equipment. In addition, the cooling capacity was increased by a modified cooling ratio and the air filter was supported by a felt bellows filter located under armor protection outside the engine compartment. Nevertheless, the piston performance was only 2000 to 3000 km. All Panzerkampfwagen III, which were newly manufactured or repaired at home, were equipped with a smoke candle throwing device from 1943 onwards. The front-mounted headlights were also removable. In the same year, the improved aviator gun 42 was used, which was attached to the commander's cupola by means of clamping screws and could accommodate both the MG 34 and the MG 42. A protective coating of Zimmerit, for which about 100 kg of Zimmerit were needed, should prevent the application of magnetic charges. These proceedings were discontinued in September 1944. From 1944, the tanks used on the Eastern Front received the so-called Eastern Chain, although this was only a makeshift solution, as the chain was only widened on one side. From 1943, 5 mm thick plates, so-called armored aprons, were attached to the sides of the vehicle and around the turret to protect against anti-tank rifles and shaped charge projectiles.
- Execution E
The start of series production was the 96 tanks of the "Version E" manufactured in 1939/40, with which there were significant changes. The more powerful Maybach HL 120 engine with a capacity of just under 12 liters, which delivered a maximum of 320 hp, was used. In addition, there was a modern Maybach Variorex preselector, which, although it relieved the driver, was less suitable for series production and maintenance in the field due to its complexity. The "version E" had the final running gear of the series, in which the six rollers were now suspended from a very modern torsion bar suspension. The roller cover for the chariot cannon was relocated to the outside from this version and only a coaxial machine gun was installed. Instead of the simple side entry flaps in the tower, two-part flaps have now been installed. Furthermore, there were now also lateral emergency exit flaps in the armored hull.
- Execution F
For the first time larger numbers could be achieved with the "Version F" published in 1940, 450 of which were built. Since the first combat experience showed that the 3.7 cm cannon sometimes proved to be too weak to penetrate, the installation of a 5 cm cannon, which Guderian had required from the start, was approved. This cannon was based on an order given by the Army Weapons Office at the beginning of 1938 to further develop the armament of the tank. It was a short 5 cm cannon (5 cm KwK 38) with 42 caliber lengths. Since the production of the weapon took longer than expected, only the last quarter of the vehicle series could be equipped with it. The Maybach HL 120 served as the drive unit, but was throttled to 300 HP maximum and 265 HP continuous output to increase the stability. It was a robust and durable engine that was also used in all subsequent versions. From this version onwards, the tank was equipped with an appropriate luggage box behind the turret as standard.
- Execution G
Only minor changes were made to the "Version G" produced in 1940 and 1941, of which 594 were produced. The commander's cupola received five side covers instead of sliders. About two thirds of this series could be equipped with the short 5 cm cannon. The G version was first used in the 1941 Balkan campaign. The German Africa Corps also had some versions F and G with them during the Africa campaign.
- Execution H
Also in 1940 and 1941, the 286 copies of the "Version H" were produced, this version was designed from the outset for arming with the short 5 cm cannon and was delivered that way. Based on an order from Adolf Hitler, the vehicle was to be reinforced with additional armor, although the disadvantages of increased weight were accepted. As a result, the part of the series delivered in 1941 received additional armor on the hull of a further 30 mm in addition to the front armor of 30 mm. For reasons of weight distribution, the rear received the same additional armor. The aim of this additional armor, to reduce the effectiveness of the English weapons, was achieved, because the reinforced armor could hardly be penetrated by the English guns at normal combat range. Due to the weight increase to 21.6 t - the chassis weighed 15.8 t - the torsion bars had to be reinforced and the chain width increased from 36 cm to 40 cm. At the same time, a modified chain drive wheel and a new spoke idler wheel were used. The complicated preselection gearbox was replaced by a normal six-speed synchronous gearbox, as was the hydraulic clutch with a dry three-plate clutch.
- Execution J
Of the "Version J" manufactured between March 1941 and May 1942, 1521 vehicles with the short 5 cm cannon were produced. The basic armor of both the turret front and the hull front was reinforced to 50 mm. The driver got a better visor and the bow MG was given an improved ball socket. The hydraulic transmission of the steering lever movements exerted by the driver to the steering brake, which had been practiced until then, was now carried out via a mechanical steering linkage.
When it became apparent during the first combat missions on the Eastern Front that the penetration power of the short 5 cm cannon was only unsatisfactory and this weapon had no power reserves, the long 5 cm KwK 39 with its 60 caliber lengths in "Version J" vehicles installed. Many of the Panzer III relocated to the Reich for a general overhaul were also converted to the new cannon. This relatively powerful weapon would already have been available at the time of the conversion to the short 5 cm cannon from version F, but the Army Weapons Office decided not to install it for tactical reasons, as the barrel protruded significantly beyond the side profile of the tank and this resulted in restrictions feared mobility in overgrown and built-up areas. Since the cartridges for the long 5 cm cannon were larger, vehicles equipped with this could only carry 84 instead of 99 rounds of ammunition. In 1941 only 40 new vehicles with the long 5 cm cannon could be delivered.
- Execution L
The vehicles with the long 5 cm cannon initially produced as "Version J" from the end of December 1941 were renamed "Version L" in March / April 1942. 1470 vehicles were produced up to October 1942, including the "Version J" produced with a long cannon. The machine gun ammunition was almost doubled from 2000 rounds to 3750 rounds. The armor on the turret front was reinforced to 57 mm. For the purpose of further reinforcement, a 20 mm thick spacer armor was attached to the hull front and to the gun mantlet, so that the turret front was now almost 80 mm thick. The emergency exits attached to the side of the bathtub were partially omitted. In a few models, a 5 cm cannon with a conical barrel was installed on a trial basis. Due to the high wear on the barrel, this powerful weapon was not used any further.
- Execution M
The 517 copies of the “Version M” built between September 1942 and March 1943 differed only slightly from the previous model. To simplify production, the viewing slits on the side of the turret for gunner and loader as well as the side emergency exit hatches on the hull have been removed. These had lost their function anyway due to the attachment of side skirts. Thanks to additional equipment, this series was capable of fording to a depth of 1.30 m instead of the usual 0.8 m.
- Execution N
The 617 vehicles of the "Version N", which were produced from July to October 1942 and from February to August 1943, marked the end of series production. By mid-1942 at the latest, it was evident that the Panzer III had reached the end of its capabilities and was no longer able to cope with the enemy tanks; the Panzer IV thus gained in importance. Both models swapped roles. Intended as a support vehicle for fighting infantry and soft targets, the N version received the short 7.5 cm KwK 37, which were available in sufficient numbers after the conversion measures of the Panzer IV to the long 7.5 cm cannons. The long 7.5 cm cannon could not be installed in the Panzer III because of its size and its recoil.The short cannon developed only a slight armor-piercing effect, but if necessary you could fight enemy tanks with shaped charge projectiles. 64 rounds of ammunition were carried for the main weapon and 3450 rounds of ammunition for the two machine guns.
Due to the initially low production numbers, the planned equipping of the three light companies of a tank division could not even come close to the outbreak of war. In the course of the increase in the number of tank divisions and their restructuring in 1940/41, the divisions now had only one tank regiment, which consisted of two divisions - some were three - of two light and one medium companies. For the light companies consisting of 22 tanks, 17 Panzer III and five Panzer II were planned. In 1942 a fourth company was created again, so that the Panzer III was intended for the three light companies with 17 vehicles each, as originally planned. A completely uniform structure and equipment did not succeed due to the course of the war. The Panzer III in version N was also part of the early division of a heavy tank division, but was later outsourced there due to its weak armor.
Poland, Western Front and North Africa
At the beginning of the Second World War there were 200 Panzer III in the Wehrmacht's inventory, 98 of which took part in the attack on Poland. The rest of the vehicles were with the reserve army or as supplies in the army equipment offices. Given this small number, the tank played almost no role in this campaign. The pre-production vehicles were taken out of service again after this campaign - with the exception of a few version D used in the Norwegian campaign - due to their weak combat strength. The low armor of these early versions was only suitable for protection against rifle projectiles and shrapnel. 26 vehicles were lost during the fighting.
At the beginning of the western campaign, the Wehrmacht had 349 Panzerkampfwagen III at their disposal, which were models of the E and F versions. In addition, there were 39 tank command vehicles in the attack formations. In the course of the campaign, the first F version tanks were pushed in with the short 5 cm cannon. With around 2500 German tanks, the Panzer III only played a subordinate role here; In addition to the Czech captured tanks P 35 (t) and P 38 (t), the most important tanks by far were the light PzKpfw I and Pzkpfw II.
The Western Allies had mobilized significantly more and in some cases better tanks. The French tanks Renault R-35, Hotchkiss H-39 and Somua S-35 with over 40 mm and the Char B1 with up to 60 mm armor were better protected than the Panzerkampfwagen III. The situation was similar with the British Matilda tanks, which were generally slow, had insufficient armament and were not represented in large numbers in France. The Char B1 can serve as an example of the superior armor, the front of which could not be penetrated by either the 3.7 cm cannon or the short 5 cm cannon even at 100 m. Only with the scarce tank shell 40 both weapons could fight the B1 from the front at 100 m. The German crews were forced to turn the enemy tanks in maneuvers, some of which were costly, and to put them out of action from the side or from behind. Otherwise, the Panzer III performed well, although it was not the quality and quantity of the German tanks, but modern tactics and superior leadership that decided the campaign. In France, 135 vehicles had to be written off as a total loss.
During the African campaign, the Panzerkampfwagen III carried most of the brunt of the fighting. With the exception of the clumsy Matildas, it was initially superior to all British tanks. It turned out that the Allied guns, even with armor-piercing shells, were largely ineffective against the reinforced front armor of the Panzer III, whereas even the short 5 cm cannon inflicted heavy losses on the Allied tanks - with the exception of the Matildas. When later more powerful models such as the M3 Grant or M4 Sherman appeared in Africa, the Panzer III was pushed back on this scene and the Panzer IV became the backbone of the Africa Corps.
In June 1941 the actual stock of the entire army was 1560 Panzer III, including 350 tanks with the 3.7 cm cannon, 1090 tanks with the short 5 cm cannon and 120 tank command vehicles. With 965 units used on the Eastern Front, the Panzer III was the most important German tank at the beginning of the war against the Soviet Union. In the course of the fighting it became apparent that the side armor in particular was vulnerable to the Soviet anti-tank rifles. In addition, the short 5 cm cannon and especially the 3.7 cm cannon could not penetrate the front armor of the - still relatively rare and tactically unfavorable - Soviet tank models KW-1 and T-34, so that the crews were forced were to curve out the enemy tanks in maneuvers with many losses and to put them out of action from the side or from behind. In contrast, the T-34 was able to deliver effective hits to the Panzer III from a distance of 1000 meters. The Russian T-34 was clearly superior to all German tanks in 1941. Only the long 5 cm cannon installed later in the J version was able to penetrate the front of a T-34 up to a combat range of less than 500 m. In April 1942 the total army stock was around 2000 Panzer III, including 130 models with the 3.7 cm cannon and 1900 models with the 5 cm cannon. In the run-up to the German summer offensive in 1942, the Army Groups in the east had around 600 Panzer III with the long 5 cm cannon, around 500 Panzer III with the short 5 cm cannon and around 75 Panzer Command Car III. With the increased appearance of the powerful Soviet tanks, the performance limit of the Panzer III was definitely reached. It was meanwhile inferior to most of the Allied tanks and was at the end of its upgradeability. With the N version, it had finally swapped its original anti-tank role for the support role of the Panzer IV.
The total losses suffered on all fronts in the further course of the war can be quantified as follows, whereby by far the greatest number of vehicles were destroyed on the eastern front:
- 1941: around 900 pieces
- 1942: around 1400 pieces
- 1943: around 2400 pieces
- 1944: around 120 pieces
Noticeably high losses occurred at the end of the Battle of Stalingrad, as around 1200 Panzer IIIs were reported as total losses in the first two months of 1943 alone. In the summer of 1944 the Panzer III was spun off from the tank units. The remaining copies were used for training or as reconnaissance and security vehicles.
Panzer III in the Red Army
As a result of the political and economic cooperation between the German Reich and the Soviet Union, two Panzerkampfwagen III were sold to the Soviet Union in 1940 to compensate for urgently needed raw materials. The vehicles were subjected to extensive investigations and a comparison test with one of the first T-34s. The Panzer III achieved a higher speed, had a lower noise level, a more spacious fighting compartment, better workmanship and was easier to maintain. The advantage of the T-34 was its bevelled armor and better armament. Fire tests with the Russian 45-mm standard anti-tank gun showed that the armor on the side of Panzerkampfwagen III could not be penetrated at 500 m. This later led to the development of an improved tank shell, which was available from 1942. In September 1940, the chief of the Red Army main armor, General Yakov Fedorenko, informed the chairman of the Defense Committee of the USSR Kliment Voroshilov that “after examining the last samples of foreign armored construction, the German medium tank“ Daimler-Benz T-3 ”as most successful foreign tank construction is considered and mass production can be assumed. "
After the attack on the Soviet Union and the great Soviet losses, the Red Army put some captured Panzer III under the designation T-3 into their service. As of July 20, 1945, the Red Army still had 31 operational and 67 in need of repair Panzer III in its inventory. When, after the surrender of Stalingrad, the Red Army captured a large number of Panzer III and did not want to use them as combat vehicles due to their weak armor and armament, new assault guns were manufactured based on the captured chassis. For this purpose, a rigid, up to 60 mm thick dome with a 76 mm cannon was mounted on the old Panzer III landing gear. In this way, 201 assault guns were manufactured in Plant No. 37 in Moscow in 1943, which were given the designation SU-76i and took part in the battles against the Axis powers. The only known remaining original copy is today on a monument in the Ukrainian city of Sarny; a replica made of original parts stands in front of a military museum in Moscow.
After the Panzerkampfwagen I and II, which were actually only intended as training vehicles, had proven to be too weak in combat and the Panzerkampfwagen IV, which was initially only produced in small numbers, was intended to serve as a support tank, the Panzerkampfwagen III became the most important weapon of the German armored forces in 1941 and 1942. The status of the Panzer III in the deliberations of the military leadership was shown by the utopian plans of the Heereswaffenamt in July 1941, when the Panzer III with 8,000 units made up the majority of this armored force for the intended 36 armored divisions with their 15,440 armored fighting vehicles. With the appearance of the powerful Soviet tanks in the course of the Russian campaign, however, the deficits of the weak armament became apparent. Although Hitler had given the Army Weapons Office the instruction in 1940 to use the already constructed 5 cm KwK 39 with its 60 caliber lengths when converting to the new cannon, only the predecessor model with 42 caliber lengths was installed. For Hitler, this arbitrariness meant a weakening of his demand for an increase in combat value and resulted in a serious dispute between Hitler and the HWA. In view of the surprising combat power of the new Russian tank models, Hitler now saw the Panzer III as an unsuccessful design, since in his eyes the weight and size of the vehicle was out of proportion to the insufficient armament. It is clear, however, that at the time of its commissioning, the Panzer III was an advanced combat vehicle that performed well on all fronts under the circumstances at the beginning of the war. The importance of this vehicle is further indicated by the fact that around 16,000 chassis were produced between 1936 and 1945. In retrospect, however, due to the significantly higher expansion potential of the Panzer IV, it would have been strategically better to produce only this one and to forego the similar Panzer III.
The significant increase in production came at a time when the Panzer III was already falling behind the new Soviet and Western Allied tank models in terms of combat power and continued production was therefore questionable. However, since the army command needed all the tanks it could get hold of due to the high losses on the Eastern Front and the industry was interested in continued production due to the high financial profits resulting from the mass emissions and due to the still full order books, the Panzer III was discontinued. Manufacturing not considered for the time being. In March 1942 Hitler ordered that the soon-to-be-launched "Panther" tank program be increased to the detriment of the Panzer III, but in May the production figures for the Panzer III were increased again. The production of the tank, which was now considered obsolete, continued, and the vehicles were subjected to an elaborate upgrade in combat value without being able to compensate for the superiority of the enemy models.
The best known use of the Panzer III chassis was the Sturmgeschütz III, of which 10,500 units were made, almost twice as many vehicles as the actual Panzer III. It was a turretless vehicle that was equipped with a - initially short - 7.5 cm cannon. The StuG III were very valuable for infantry support and later for anti-tank defense. They achieved significantly more enemy tank kills than the original Panzer III.
Armored command vehicle
In accordance with the German Blitzkrieg theory of leading an independently operating tank unit "from the front", tank command vehicles received great attention from the start. The first model, the "Panzerbefehlwagen III, version D1" built in 1938/39 in 30 copies, was based on the small series type D. The non-rotating turret was firmly bolted to the armored case, while the cannon was designed as a dummy. Only the radio operator MG was available as a close-range defense weapon. The vehicles intended for the commanders of the tank units with their five-man crew had extended radio equipment, consisting of two radios, two rod antennas (1.4 and 2 m long), a crank mast (9 m with star antenna) and a large frame antenna above the Engine compartment existed. All tank command vehicles were equipped with a course gyro. The 45 "PzBefWg III version E" manufactured in 1939/40 and the 175 "PzBefWg III version H" manufactured in 1940/41 were based on the chassis of the respective basic models and hardly differed from the first version of the tank command vehicle.
Since the tank command vehicles, as a result of the German war doctrine, were often involved in combat behind enemy lines, the troops demanded a fully armed command vehicle. Based on the Panzerkampfwagen III Ausf. J, Daimler-Benz manufactured the "Panzerbefehlwagen III Ausf. J" in 1942. With the removal of the bow machine gun and part of the normal stock of ammunition, space was created for additional radio equipment. The loader acted as the second radio operator, although space was limited in the tower due to the additional radio equipment. With the same modifications, in 1942/43 Daimler-Benz manufactured Panzerkampfwagen III Ausf. M as "Panzerbefehlwagen III Ausf. K".
Of the J version with the 5 cm KwK L / 42, 81 pieces and of the K version with the 5 cm KwK L / 60 were made 50 pieces, with 104 additional conversions being made to the first version, those with troop funds emerged from normal battle tanks. The vehicles with the short 5 cm cannon could take 75 rounds and those with the long cannon 65 rounds of ammunition. The rigid loop antenna was replaced by a less noticeable star antenna. The price for this 23-ton vehicle without weapons was 110,000 Reichsmarks.
Tank observation vehicle
In order to ensure that the observers of the tank artillery could follow the tank units into battle, the "Panzerbeobachtungswagen III (Sd.Kfz. 143)" was created, of which Alkett manufactured a total of 262 units in 1941 and 1942. The Panzerbeobachtungswagen III had a crew of five, which consisted of a tank observer, auxiliary observer, driver and two radio operators. The only armament of the vehicle was a MG 34 in a spherical screen in the rotating turret; a metal pipe as a dummy simulated the cannon armament. In addition to a periscope to be operated by the auxiliary observer, the vehicle had extensive radio equipment consisting of a FuG 8 (30-watt medium wave device), a FuG 4 (medium wave receiver), a normal radio communication device, a backpack radio and an on-board intercom. The transmission of the fire commands to the self-propelled howitzers such as the Waspe or Hummel took place via the radio communication device, the range of which was up to five kilometers under favorable conditions. Loudspeakers were installed in the self-propelled howitzers so that the gun operators could hear the radio messages from the tank observation vehicle without headphones.The Panzerbeobachtungswagen III, which until then had been used as a temporary solution, the Sd.Kfz. 253 - a variant of the Sd.Kfz. 250 - replaced, fully proved itself.
For the invasion of England, three special volunteer units were set up in Putlos after the French campaign. In these departments, 168 tanks of the types F, G and H were made submersible by special precautions. For this purpose, all openings were sealed with masking tape or cable tar and the air inlet openings in the engine compartment were completely closed. An inflatable rubber hose was inserted between the tower and the tub. A rubber cover was placed over the roller cover, the commander's cupola and the radio operator's machine gun, which could be blown off after surfacing with the help of integrated fuses. The air was supplied through an 18 m long hose, at the end of which was a buoy with a radio antenna. The exhaust pipes had pressure relief valves and the fan gear had to be disengaged. The maximum immersion depth was 15 m, with penetrating seepage water being removed by means of a bilge pump. If the measures were already prepared, the process, in which all five crew members were involved, took around 45 minutes. The entire crew should be equipped with diving rescuers. The use of the diving tanks equipped with course gyroscopes was planned as follows: barges were supposed to bring the tanks close to the English coast until the corresponding water depth was reached. Then the tanks were supposed to slide into the sea over a ramp lengthened with rails. The navigation should be done by radio from a command boat. Due to the buoyancy, the vehicles were very easy to steer. After the Seelöwe company was canceled, these vehicles were used to cross the Bug on the first day of the Russian campaign. Despite initial skepticism, all 80 tanks used reached the opposite bank.
In 1942 100 tanks of the M version without weapons were delivered by the MIAG company to the Wegmann wagon factory in Kassel, where they were converted to the Flammpanzer III. The designation of the vehicles is officially "Panzerkampfwagen III (Fl) (Sd.Kfz. 141/3)". Instead of the cannon, a 1.5 m long flame jet pipe with a 14 mm nozzle was used, which could be swiveled 10 ° upwards and 20 ° downwards. The two machine guns were retained. The flame oil was pumped to the flame tube by a pump driven by a DKW two-stroke engine and ignited by high voltage. The oil supply of 1023 liters was carried in tanks, which were located on both sides of the interior. As protection, the 50 mm thick vehicle front was reinforced with 30 mm and the turret front with 20 mm thick armor plates; the side armor remained the same. Up to 80 bursts of fire with a range of up to 60 m could be fired for two to three seconds each. The crew of the 23-ton vehicle, which was equipped with two radios, consisted of three men. The use of the flame tank took place for the first time in 1943 in special departments, which had a target inventory of two Panzer Command Cars III, twelve Panzer II, two Panzer III version N and ten Flammpanzer III.
Armored recovery vehicles
In the years 1939 to 1943 a total of 271 Bergepanzer III were produced, which arose from battle tanks in need of repair and returned for repair. Instead of the revolving tower, the armored recovery vehicle, which was considered a temporary measure, was given a wooden box structure in which recovery and repair material could be stored. In addition, a ground anchor and a 1 t auxiliary crane were installed.
The tractor III, which was only manufactured in small numbers and used for replenishment tasks, was the result of a conversion campaign. After the tower had been removed, a wooden loading platform was placed on the chassis. The Pionierpanzer III, which was also only available in small numbers, was handled in a similar way. In the same way, the rare ammunition tractor III was created, in which the turret was removed, storage space for ammunition was created in the interior and the open turntable was closed with a hatch. A mine clearance tank, which had considerable ground clearance due to an extension of the swing arms, and a railroad vehicle for fighting partisans did not get beyond the prototype stage. Efforts to make the heavy infantry gun 33 mobile on the chassis of the Panzer III led to the twelve pre-production models of the officially designated "Sturm-Infanteriegeschütz 33" manufactured by Alkett in 1941, which had an armored structure 80 mm thick at the front and 50 mm at the side a Panzer III hull and weighed 21 t with a crew of five and 30 rounds of ammunition. Series production, which was planned for spring 1942, did not take place because the task of the vehicle was performed by the Sturmpanzer IV and the Sturmpanzer 38 (t). Some vehicles of the 0 series were nevertheless used on the Eastern Front in the summer of 1943 with the 23rd Panzer Division. In order to make the Panzer III loadable for road transport, the "low loader trailer 22 t (Sd.Anh. 116)" was built. This trailer, which was manufactured up to 1943 and had a dead weight of 13.8 t and cost 28,000 RM, was in the army in April 1942 with 141 pieces.
Successor to VK 2001
In May 1938, Daimler-Benz received the order to develop a successor to the Panzer III. The tank called “VK 2001 (DB)” was sold at Daimler-Benz under the internal name “ZW 40”. As always, the Heereswaffenamt suggested a gasoline engine from Maybach for the planned motorization with a 400 hp engine, while Daimler-Benz decided to redevelop its own diesel engine. The construction work on the "MB 809" engine was completed in June 1940; the test runs took place in the spring of 1941. It was a 12-cylinder diesel engine with a displacement of 25.5 liters and an output of 400 hp. In March 1941, this engine was installed in the VK 2001 prototype at the Berlin-Marienfelde plant. With a combat weight of 22 t, the vehicle reached a top speed of 50 km / h. The power flow of the engine went through an eight-speed preselector and a superimposed steering gear to the front drive wheels. The second prototype still had a conventional clutch steering gear. The seven-roller drive was suspended from leaf springs. There are no documents about the planned armament. When the more powerful Russian tanks appeared shortly after the start of the Russian campaign, the project was discontinued.
Panzerkampfwagen III / IV
Since the Panzer III and Panzer IV had strong similarities in terms of construction, in September 1941 considerations arose to create a completely uniform vehicle based on the two tanks. The Panzer III n.A. (new type) and Panzer IV n.A. The armored vehicles mentioned above should only differ in their main armament. Due to the identical construction, large savings in production, replenishment, training and maintenance were expected. The vehicles should be equipped with an all-round armor of 50 mm. The most noticeable change was the use of a box drive with large running wheels. A hydraulic tower swivel device was also provided. Some prototypes with box drive and turret of the Panzer III with a short 5 cm cannon were built. Due to the experiences made on the Eastern Front, the "Panzerkampfwagen III / IV" project was discontinued because the vehicles were not designed for the new requirements for higher armor protection and stronger armament.

The first thing to consider when you need a new upper is what type of gun do you want your AR build to fit on. This is a decision that depends not only on cost and personal preference, but also the owner’s needs for reliability or performance. There are several different types of builds in use, with any given AR-15 being capable of fitting onto any one of them. The three most common are the Traditional, Hybrid, and M4. Each type of upper has its advantages and disadvantages. The choice is yours to make. Cost is also a major factor; a more expensive upper does not necessarily mean better performance.
The Traditional AR Build:
This is the most popular build for your AR-15. It consists of a traditional carry handle or flat top upper receiver, with a fixed carry handle and non-free floating handguard and/or the A2 or A1 fixed front sight gas block and tube assembly. The barrel is usually of the medium or short length (depending on type) and either a 16″ or 18″ barrel with pinned muzzle break. The stock is either a fixed pistol grip, telescoping side rail or collapsible buttstock. A traditional AR build will not accept any modern parts, including those from Bushmaster, Colt, etc.
Will A 450 Bushman Upper Work With a 223 Lower?
A 465 Bushmaster upper will work on a 223 lower. The only thing to be aware of is that your bolt and carrier may need to be replaced, as many of these parts are specific to the .223 Remington cartridge. If you want to shoot .223 in this type of build, then consider replacing your parts before shooting it. You can find replacement kit on the internet or at a local gun shop.

Photo by Chris Jennewein
Austal USA, a defense contractor with a growing presence in San Diego, announced Friday it has delivered the 16th Independence-class littoral combat ship to the Navy.
The future USS Santa Barbara is a futuristic, trimaran warship that will be based in San Diego after it is commissioned.
The ship is 418 feet in length, armed with guns, missiles and helicopters, and can reach speeds of over 50 mph.
While the Navy wants to decommission some of the Freedom-class monohull littoral ships based on the the East Coast, the ships in San Diego aren’t affected.
Austal’s shipyard is in Mobile, AL, but the Australian-based company recently secured long-term leases for a 15-acre ship repair facility adjacent to Naval Base San Diego.
Th company is currently building three more littoral ships, with the USS Augusta just launched and the future USS Kingsville and USS Pierre under construction.
Also under contract for the Navy are Expeditionary Fast Transports and Navajo-class Towing, Salvage, and Rescue Ships, as well as a new floating dry dock. | weapons_science |

Yep, more proof that the Army doesn't pay by the hour, and doesn't pay overtime...We headed out to qualify with either the light or heavy machine gun yesterday, and many goats were roped by the time we piled back on the bus at 10:30 p.m. Crafty buggers that the range cadre are, they allayed our suspicions by starting us out quickly and efficiently. We had finished the zero and paper target qualification by about 10 a.m. (I tied for high score.) All we had remaining was shooting at popup targets which were located between 300-800 meters in front of our positions, and a limited visibility familiarization course using a night vision scope. "Ha!" we thought, we'll be back by 5 p.m. at the latest. T'was not to be. The .50 caliber range took forever, so those of us who were waiting to finish and therefore appeared to be less than gainfully employed were pressed into service lugging heavy crates of ammo and brass casings around, preparing the belts of .50 cal rounds, and have our ears assaulted by the constant thunder of heavy machine gun fire. The sound took me back 32 years to being on the tank ranges in Grafenwoehr, Germany...
Finally, at around 3:30 p.m. we were summoned to carry our light machine guns and tripods over to the popup range, where we stood around for another 45 minutes before finally getting to shoot. Once again, I qualified on the first try...which is so ironic, because so far I have shot the best with a weapon my unit doesn't even have, making my efforts almost totally useless. The last step was to shoot with the night vision scope. The range cadre managed to ditz around for an hour, while the wind howled, and sand/dust coated our guns. When it was time to shoot, my gun was so gummed up it wouldn't function. I couldn't get the night scope to work either, so finally said, "Screw it," to the range guy, and wandered back toward the waiting area. The other folks had similar issues. We cleaned our guns, loaded more ammo for the .50 caliber guns, and continued to vegitate until all the ammo had been fired. (This was important to the range staff so that they wouldn't have to turn in any live rounds, which is much more difficult than just turning in casings and empty ammo boxes. Your tax dollars at work, friends.)
After we all got back, uniforms and faces covered in dust and with grimy black hands, someone proposed a "Run for the Border" at the local off-post Taco Bell. (Yep, just the ticket before hitting the sack, eh?) We piled into the van, and returned with bags full of burritos, tacos, and other gut-busting delights. I downed a burrito, and after a long hot shower rolled into bed, where I slept like a baby...waking up every two hours and crying. | weapons_science |
https://blogs.stockton.edu/sweene19/2022/05/21/best-range-finding-rifle-scopes-in-2022/ | 2023-09-25T22:39:05 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510100.47/warc/CC-MAIN-20230925215547-20230926005547-00397.warc.gz | 0.909498 | 1,184 | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | webtext-fineweb__CC-MAIN-2023-40__0__161270299 | en | The distance to the target is one of the most important factors in the accurate long-distance shooting. Calculating bullet drop requires an accurate estimation of the target distance. By staying over the aim of putting in the required elevation adjustments into the scope, the shooter may compensate.
Nowadays, scopes are becoming more futuristic and technologically advanced. The inclusion of laser rangefinders in scopes is one of the most recent advancements. When LRFs originally came out, they were individual portable devices. They are now integrated directly into the optics.
Let’s take a brief look at how a rangefinder scope works before we go into the best rangefinder scope.
How Rangefinder Scopes Works?
There are several versions of Rangefinder Scopes available from numerous producers; however, the core premise remains the same:
In its most basic form, the scope features a laser incorporated into the housing. A laser range finder, as simple as it seems, is a highly complex piece of equipment. It necessitates the use of a laser, a sensor sensitive enough to detect dim laser light even in bright sunlight, and a computer capable of doing extremely quick computations.
Best Rangefinder Scopes in 2022:
If you’re short on time, here’s a quick rundown of the top rifle rangefinder scopes:
ATN X-Sight HD 5-20:
Since 1995, ATN has built a reputation for supplying high-tech optics. Their product range now includes some of the most cutting-edge thermal imaging lenses available to civilians. ATN provides an incredible number of alternatives.
The ATN scope isn’t technically an optical scope. These thermography scopes collect infrared or visible light and convert it into digital signals that are shown in the scope’s eyepiece using sophisticated circuitry. A camera and a viewer make up a thermal imaging scope.
- Night vision thermal
- Rangefinder with laser
- Reasonable cost
- Not a genuine optical scope made of glass.
- Unless you utilize an extra battery pack, the battery life is limited.
Burris 200116 Eliminator 4-16×50:
Burris 200116 Eliminator 4-1650 is a reasonably priced alternative. It isn’t packed with flashy technology, but it has its place in terms of quality and extra functions. The scope is pointed at the target, and a single button is pressed to activate it.
This device is simple to operate and includes an inclinometer for shooting up or downhills. The bullet trajectory will be taken into account by the scope. The scope will change your point of aim for you using these advancements.
- Use the Eliminator to calculate your target’s distance, factor in your trajectory, and illuminate the ideal holdover.
- Remove the unnecessary variables and uncertainty from your next quest, and make it more effective and fruitful.
- This laser rangefinder has a range of 1,200 yards or more, able to take an ethical shot from a greater distance.
- This is a large and lengthy scope.
Swarovski DS 5-25 4A-I Riflescope:
If price isn’t a problem or you shoot at long ranges and need the best clarity and optic crystal available, the Swarovski Ds 5-21 riflescope would be the one to get. Contemplate Swarovski’s manufacturing of some of the best optical glassware in the globe, as well as its meticulous attention to detail and workmanship.
- The rangefinder has a range of 1500 yards.
- The reticle is illuminated by LEDs.
- Bluetooth compatibility
- Heavy and Bulky
Is a Rangefinder Scope a Good Investment?
- If you’re an accomplished riflescope enthusiast who really doesn’t worry the heft as well as expense, a rangefinder scope definitely worthwhile.
- If size and cost are important factors, a laser rangefinder sight is not for you. Instead, purchase them separately.
Factors worth Remembering While Selecting a Rangefinder Scope:
When selecting an optic for your rifle, you should take into account the same variables. In that department, nothing has changed. When you add a range finder to your scope, though, some of the elements become much more critical.
Dimensions and Weight:
Your rifle’s range-finding system can add size and weight. If you want to carry your rifle and scope through challenging terrain during a hunt, extra weight and bulk are especially important. Every extra pound of weight might be a concern while traversing steep hills or high mountains.
Technology may be costly, especially when producers strive for minimal size and weight. The smaller something becomes, the more it costs.
A range-finding scope’s lasers and circuits can be sensitive to nearly anything in the field. The expense of making a scope that can safeguard these potentially sensitive components goes up. Durability and protection can increase bulk and weight.
Any of the range detecting scopes we’ve mentioned will not let you down.
Finding the most features for the lowest price is the goal. The ATN X-Sight HD 5-20 is a real thermal imaging scope that may be used day or night. Have you ever utilized a rifle scope with a laser rangefinder?
Leave a quick comment below to make us aware. Check out our in-depth evaluation of the ATN X-Sight HD 5-20 if you’re looking for a low-cost prism scope. | weapons_science |

Dual Blades is one of the two known unique Sword Art Online skills. Holy Sword, the other unique skill, belongs to Heathcliff (Kayaba Akihiko). As Heathcliff mentions, Dual Blades is a skill earned by the player with the quickest reflexes. The skill is supposed to be used in the final battle against the 100th floor boss. Heathcliff also reveals that Sword Art Online was designed to have 10 unique skills, however, there’s no reference to the remaining eight. The Dual Blade skill allows the user to fight using two swords and also grants access to special techniques. Kirito believes there are about 20 techniques associated with the Dual Blades skill. He discovered and used four of them. Dual Blades gives the users three bonuses pertaining to attack speed, weapon defense, and cooldown.
It is automatically unlocked by meeting a certain condition.
Kirito is seen using the Dual Blades skill for the first time during the battle against The Gleam Eyes. After the battle, he explains how he came in possession of the skill. About six months before, Kirito noticed an extra skill in the skill window. He didn’t know what unique skills are and he was clueless about why and how he got it. The Dark Repulser sword was forged to be used as a secondary weapon for this skill. Kirito decided to keep the skill a secret because he was already branded as Beater (combination of beta tester and cheater) and a new powerful skill would have raised even more suspicions.
Kirito revealed it so he could save others.
Kirito and Asuna discovered The Gleam Eyes 74th floor’s boss but they quickly retreated as they figured they have no chance of killing it. They were having lunch outside the boss room when they were interrupted by Klein and his guildies. Members of another guild, Aincrad Liberation Force, show up and their leader demands the map that leads to the boss’s location. Kirito gives it to him and they part ways. Sometimes later, Kirito, Asuna, and Klein hear commotion from the boss room. They head inside and see the Aincrad Liberation Force overpowered by the boss. The leader dies under their eyes. Kirito jumps into battle but realizes that he doesn’t stand a chance without the Dual Blades skill. He asks Asuna and Klein to keep the boss busy for 10 seconds so he can activate the skill and equip the Dark Repulser. Kirito defeats the boss with the Starburst Stream 16-strikes technique.
Dual Blades is used in combination with Elucidator and Dark Repulser weapons.
Elucidator is a one-handed longsword used by Kirito throughout Sword Art Online. It’s a black sword that Kirito carries sheathed on his back. Kirito shows Lisbeth the sword as a model for a new custom-made one. He mentions he got it as a drop from the boss on the 50th floor. As no other weapons in Lisbeth’s shop are as powerful as the Elucidator, the two go on an adventure to obtain the materials needed for a new sword. Lisbeth forges Kirito’s second sword, the Dark Repulser, from a Crystallite Ingot. The Dark Repulser is destroyed in the battle against Heathcliff.
Kirito created a custom Dual Blades version for ALfheim Online.
When the Sword Art Online skills were transferred to ALfheim Online, 10 were left out. Dual Blades is a skill that cannot be imported so it’s safe to assume that the 10 skills that didn’t make it are the unique ones. In season 2, during the Calibur Arc, Kirito reveals an outside system skill called Skill Connect. He uses the skill with two swords and even if it looks like Dual Blades, it’s not. Kirito is dual wielding and alternating between one-handed sword skills and that’s why it appears to be Dual Blades. | weapons_science |

The thing I am speaking about is what is referred to as a weapons “zero”.
To understand what a “zero” is, you have to understand the fundamental physics concept of trajectory. A bullet does not travel in a straight line from the barrel to the target. It travels in an arc. Depending on the weight of the projectile, the velocity the bullet is traveling at and various other influences; a bullet rises to a maximum height and then begins to descend under the influences of gravity and the projectiles gradual lessening in velocity as it travels through the resistance of the atmosphere.
In practical terms what this means is that you have to adjust your weapons sight so that it intersects this arc at a known point. Where your line of sight and the path of the bullet intersect is called that weapons “ZERO”. The bullet is not above your line of sight (+) or below your line of sight(-)…it is at 0 deviation. This way you know that your bullet will strike where you are aiming if the target is at that “zero” distance.
A weapon is “ZEROED” at two points along the bullets path; where the bullet rises to your line of sight and where it falls once again to your line of sight “downrange”. The standard military “ZERO” is at 25 meters and (depending on bullet type) 250 meters.
As a rule of thumb you need to remember that if the target is closer than your “near zero” then your bullet is going to strike low. Between your “near” and “far” zero the bullet is going to strike high. And beyond your “far zero” the bullet is going to start dropping below of your line of sight.
Tinkering with the distances you can zero a weapon at is a topic of much debate. There are varying schools of thought on what the best distance to zero your weapon is. It’s my humble opinion that the “best zero” is the one YOU can remember and utilize most efficiently. I have been schooled and am most experienced with the 25M military zero so that’s what I stick with. Your personal mileage my vary. | weapons_science |

Dan Makruski yelled, the signal to fire.
And squeeze the trigger I did, sending lead-laden death toward a paper target some 30 yards away.
A .45-caliber Glock isn’t heavy but his .223-caliber law enforcement carbine rifle has heft. The 5.56 mm weapon Makruski slung over my shoulder Wednesday evening is the one he uses in Lorain County SWAT responses and felt like it could hit a bottle cap two football fields away.
I arrived at twilight as Amherst police officers started night training drills at their Cooper Foster Park Road firing range.
Makruski and Det. Zachary Horning, along with Sgt. Mike Rosebeck, put some of the department’s younger officers through exercises designed to test their stamina, accuracy, communication, and coordination skills.
Patrolmen Sanders Sanchez, Brian Griffin, and Brian Bowers were tasked with running laps, then using cover and hitting called targets at close range with their sidearms. The goal was to have speed and accuracy without sacrificing control.
“You have your heart rate up and that’s kind of the point of this,” Horning told the officers.
The last time an Amherst police officer fired a service weapon while on duty was 2008.
The last time I had fired a weapon was sometime earlier — maybe 2004 or 2005, it’s hard to remember — and also at the range with Amherst police officers. That time, it was under the guidance of Lt. Dan Jasinski.
I’d like to think my reflexes were still fairly keen. My grandfather taught me to shoot at a young age (a .22-caliber rifle, nothing fancy). Maybe Pappy Williams would be proud: My target was full of bullet holes after emptying a large clip.
I’ll continue to decline to own my own firearm, though. Let the police be the gun experts; I’ll stick to keyboard and camera.

The brief statement from the South’s Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS) said Pyongyang fired two projectiles eastwards from South Hamgyong province which came down in the Sea of Japan, also known as the East Sea.
It said the launch was carried out at 16:59 pm local time — or the early hours in Washington DC, on one of the US’ biggest annual holidays.
It was also one day short of the two-year anniversary of its first test of its Hwasong-15 intercontinental ballistic missile, which analysts say is capable of reaching the entire US mainland.
Japan’s defence ministry described the projectiles as “ballistic missile-like” but said they did not come down in the country’s exclusive economic zone.
Pyongyang is banned from firing ballistic missiles under UN Security Council resolutions.
Thursday’s launch was the latest in a series of weapons tests by Pyongyang, which fired what it called two “super-large multiple rocket launcher” systems last month.
US President Donald Trump has played down the recent launches, repeatedly pointing to North Korea’s moratorium on nuclear tests and intercontinental ballistic missile launches as foreign policy successes for him.
Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un adopted a vaguely-worded statement on the “complete denuclearisation of the Korean peninsula” at their first summit in Singapore in June last year, but little progress has since been made.
Negotiations have been gridlocked since a second summit between the pair in Hanoi in February collapsed without a deal.
North Korea is under multiple sets of international sanctions over its nuclear weapon and ballistic missile programmes and lifting some of them was a key demand at the Hanoi summit.
Trump and Kim then agreed to restart working-level talks during a brief meeting at the Demilitarised Zone dividing the peninsula in June and the two sides met in Sweden in October, only for Pyongyang to walk away.
Earlier this month, Seoul and Washington said they would postpone planned joint military exercises to ease diplomacy with the North, an announcement Pyongyang dismissed.
The North has long condemned the joint drills, which it condemns as preparations for invasion, and carried out multiple missile launches in the summer in protest as the allies carried out their annual exercises.
North Korea has issued a series of increasingly assertive comments in recent weeks as its end-of-year deadline for the US to come up with a fresh offer approaches.
Trump hinted at the prospect of a fourth meeting with Kim in a tweet earlier this month, only to be rebuffed by the North, which said it had no interest in summits “that bring nothing to us”.

It is agreed that Kunai knives originated in Japan. It is a multi-purpose tool that is believed to have originated from the Mason trowel.
At first, the Kunai was used as a trowel during the Tensho Era in Japan. It was made of iron (instead of the steel used in modern Kunai knives) and it was cheap and unpolished. It was mainly used as a gardening tool and in building and masonry.
The early Kunai knife was not sharp as it was not used as a weapon. It was used to smash plaster and to pry holes. It consisted of a spear-like head with a handle and a ring on the pommel. This ring can then allow for the attachment of a rope which means the Kunai can be strapped to a wooden stick to act as a spear of some kind.
Later, the Kunai knife evolved to enter the weaponry category. Weaponsmiths started to receive requests from ninjas and martial arts experts to start creating sharp Kunai knives made of steel. It is believed that these knives were rolled in the dirt and hung in homes, disguising their new purpose.
It is popularly believed that the Kunai knife was originally a throwing knife. However, although it can cause damage when thrown, that was not its original purpose. The Kunai knife was used in battles for stabbing and outdoors for climbing.
Kunai is Scorpion’s weapon in the Mortal Kombat series. It is also used by Ibuki from Street Fighter. It is the most popular weapon used by all manga and anime characters, due to its great popularity in the Japanese culture. This huge popularity is mainly due to the consistent exaggeration of Ninja myths all over the world.

The initiative comes as the US worries about Iran and North Korea’s ballistic missile capabilities, as well as technological advances made by the militaries of China and Russia.
Speaking at the Pentagon on Thursday, Mr Trump said “competitor regimes” were getting “bigger and stronger”, and that a new missile defence strategy would deter attacks from hostile states, including Iran.
“Our goal is simple: to ensure we can detect and destroy any missile launched against us, anywhere, any time, any place,” Mr Trump said.
“We have some very bad players out there, and we’re a good player, but we can be far worse than anybody if need be,” he added.
The Pentagon has said it wants to put sensors in space to track missile launches and has recommended new research into weapons that can shoot down missiles from space. High-energy lasers would also be a way to allow the US to destroy missiles, the report said.
Patrick Shanahan, acting secretary of defence, said an ambitious new expansion would protect against threats from “frustrated” competitors who were adding new and sophisticated missiles to their arsenal, as well as developing threats that were “harder to track, to see, to defeat”.
Mr Trump’s plan echoes the “Star Wars” defence system touted by former US president Ronald Reagan, who sought to protect the US from intercontinental ballistic missiles during the cold war.
特朗普提出的计划呼应美国前总统罗纳德•里根(Ronald Reagan)当年吹嘘的“星球大战”(Star Wars)防御系统，后者试图在冷战期间保护美国免受洲际弹道导弹袭击。
Washington is engaged in a stand-off with Moscow over the critical cold war-era Intermediate-range Nuclear Forces treaty, which the Trump administration has threatened to tear up.
围绕冷战时期签署的至关重要的《中程导弹条约》(Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty)，华盛顿方面目前与莫斯科陷入一场对峙。特朗普政府已威胁要撕毁该条约。
On Wednesday, the US met Russian representatives in Geneva and again demanded Russia destroy a disputed missile system that the US claims breaches the terms of the treaty.
European governments have expressed fears that the dissolution of the INF treaty would lead to the continuation of the east-west missile arms race ended by the pact.
The Pentagon said the US would seek to work with allies — including European Nato countries, along with Israel, Japan, South Korea and Canada — to ensure that different national missile defence systems were “interoperable”.
US allies and partners would be “encouraged” to invest in their own air and missile defence systems, the report said, while the process for allies and partners to buy military technology from the US had already been made easier. | weapons_science |

▲ December 6, Jilin Daily 05 edition.
On December 6, "Jilin Daily" published a full-page report entitled "Commonwealth of Nuclear Weapons and Its Prevention" and gave a large-scale coverage of the popular science of nuclear knowledge in the newspapers. This is rare before, the report quickly caused heated debate on the Internet. In this connection, the Beijing News reporter interviewed an insider in the editorial department of Jilin Daily, which disclosed that this page layout was "normal national defense education" and was provided by Jilin Civil Defense Office. Xu Yucheng, deputy director of the Jilin Provincial Civil Air Defense Office, told the Beijing News reporter that the above content was indeed contributed by the Provincial Defense Department, aiming at strengthening national defense education. Obviously, the coverage of this "nuclear common sense" is just and normal, and public opinion should not over-associate with it. On the other hand, the reaction of the media to this article also shows that nowadays the science popularization and propaganda of nuclear knowledge is still too little. People really need to know more about some nuclear knowledge.
Although the cold war ended long ago, the shadow of the nuclear war has not disappeared. In particular, with the unmanageable nuclear proliferation and the miniaturization of nuclear weapons, the nuclear threat has actually persisted. Not only is nuclear war, for the moment, the peaceful uses of nuclear energy increasingly penetrate into all aspects of our lives. If you do not understand the basic nuclear knowledge, once the nuclear security incidents, inevitably lead to unnecessary panic.
In China, the nuclear knowledge of most people is undoubtedly lacking. Many people can not tell the difference between atomic bombs and hydrogen bombs. Some even think that the product after the hydrogen bombs explode is water. When a nuclear explosion or a nuclear leak occurs, how to do self-protection, ordinary people can be confused.
▲ Warning Signs of Radiation
There have been many social events since there was a lack of nuclear knowledge. In 2009, a radioactive source accident occurred at a radiation plant in Qi County, Henan Province. After hearing the news, Qi County residents fled their homes to the outside after hearing the news. There were almost 10 rooms and nine empty places in the area. Among these, although there are factors that have blocked the news by the government, ignorance of nuclear knowledge is also an important factor in large-scale panic.
In 2011, because of a leak at a nuclear power station in Japan, there were rumors that Japan's nuclear radiation would pollute the seawater, resulting in the subsequent production of salt all of which would not be edible. Eating salt containing iodine could prevent nuclear radiation and cause nationwide Salt panic buying trend. Although this incident was deliberately hyped by some, it also exposed the weaknesses of our popular science in nuclear knowledge.
The popularization of nuclear knowledge can not wait until after the crisis. The government should take precautions and increase public science popularization in everyday life. To do such a good job, we must not only make active use of the public media for knowledgeable education, but also encourage public discussions on the nuclear issue in the media and on the Internet.
The popularization of nuclear knowledge is not only conducive to people's correct self-protection in the event of a nuclear explosion, but also does not over-panic in the face of nuclear security incidents. With such scientific accomplishments, the public will also be able to participate in the supervision of national nuclear safety. This is a great good for standardizing the development and utilization of nuclear energy and improving the management of nuclear safety. Although the nuclear war is far from the public, no one dares to launch a nuclear strike after World War II. However, this does not mean that we should not supplement our knowledge about nuclear weapons and nuclear safety during peacetime. However, it is precisely the common sense and defense of national defense education that civil air defense departments should report on the full-scale coverage of the common sense and protection of nuclear weapons.

This depends on what Super Lower you want to print. The single rib Super Lower will work with almost any AR-15 upper receiver. However, the double rib lower must be used with slick side uppers that do not have a forward assist. Mil-Spec uppers will work with the single rib lower, as will Aero Precision M4 uppers. The Bear Creek Arsenal side charging uppers will work with the double rib lower. As long as the upper is compatible with a standard “Mil-Spec” AR-15 lowers, and you consider the above mentioned caveats related to the forward assist, then you should be good. Any AR-15 caliber should work, including 5.56 x 45, 22 LR, 5.56 x 35, and 7.62 x 39, if the right mags are used.
Here are a few options for uppers.
I really like these Aero Precision uppers: https://www.aeroprecisionusa.com/m4e1-threaded-16in-556-mid-length-complete-upper-atlas-rone However, they are a bit more expensive because you have to buy a separate Bolt Carrier Group (BCG): https://www.aeroprecisionusa.com/5-56-bolt-carrier-group-complete-nickel-boron
BCA makes really cheap uppers that will work, but quality can be (is) lacking: https://www.bearcreekarsenal.com/guns-parts/ar-15/ar-15-complete-upper-assembly/556-16-parkerized-m4-barrel-1-9-twist-carbine-15-handguard-scg2-nrail-spiral-flash.html
And there is always PSA, they sell quality parts for a lower cost: https://palmettostatearmory.com/psa-16-mid-length-5-56-nato-1-7-nitride-13-5-lightweight-m-lok-upper-with-nickel-boron-bcg-ch-5165449606.html
Remember to always check to see if the upper come with a BCG, not all do.
And if you want to assemble your own upper from parts, KAK is a great company.
LR-308 parts are very confusing. There are a number of standards, and many of the parts are not interchangeable. I would only use parts that are specifically “LR-308” or “DPMS” compatible. Palmetto State Armory PA-10 kit’s are a notable example of a kit that is not compatible, the bolt hold open lever is the wrong size to work with my LR-308 lowers. I would recommend using lower parts from KAK, or just pick up one of my 308 Combo Kits.
LR-308 uppers are not as simple as AR-15 uppers. There are a number of standards. My LR-308 Super Lowers are designed to use the LR-308 / DPMS standard. Unfortunately, not all companies properly name their uppers, so care is needed. Bear Creek Arsenal, Aero Precising, and KAK all make LR-308 uppers that will work with my lowers. Bear Creek incorrectly calls them AR-10, and Aero calls theirs M5. True AR-10 uppers will not work. Below is a more in depth video.
Yes. 300 AAC Blackout does not place additional stress on the lower over 5.56 x 45. In fact, your gas system and buffer mass are much larger factors in how much stress is placed on the lower receiver. A heavy buffer with a lot of gas on a 5.56 gun will place more stress on the lower then a light buffer properly gassed on a 300 Blackout gun. | weapons_science |

On this day, 6 August 1945, a US aircraft, with the consent of the United Kingdom, drops the world’s first atomic bomb on the city of Hiroshima in Japan. The bomb killed an estimated 140,000 people (including those who died later from radiation), out of a population of 300,000, and devastated an area of five square miles.
A B-29 Superfortress, Enola Gay, dropped the bomb known as ‘Old Boy’ at 8.16am Japanese time. Hiroshima was one of the chief supply depots for the Japanese army and on 9 August another atomic bomb – known as ‘Fat man’ – was dropped on the city of Nagasaki, killing 74,000 people.
Japan surrendered to the Allies on 14 August 1945, bringing about the end of the Second World War in Asia.
Today, Hiroshima Memorial Peace Park stands below the point where the bomb exploded. A ceremony is held there on 6 August every year to memorialise the victims and advocate world peace.

The second Aegis Ashore site is on track for Poland in 2018.
The Aegis Ashore system uses the same SM-3 missiles deployed on U.S. and Japanese navy ships today. The system holds 24 SM-3 missiles at one time but has the capacity for additional launchers and missiles.
The missiles destroy incoming ballistic missile threats in space using sheer impact. Raytheon said the force is equivalent to a 10-ton truck traveling 600 mph.
Tuesday's test was the first of the Aegis Ballistic Missile Defense system using a land-based missile launcher. Interceptor missiles were launched from ships in previous tests.
SM-3 missiles have successfully destroyed actual targets in 26 out of 30 attempts.
The only land-based Aegis anti-aircraft/missile system in existence (in New Jersey) is being taken apart, packed into 60 large (40 foot) shipping containers and sent to Romania where Aegis will be put back together and be operational some time in 2015 as an anti-missile system. The U.S. is building two more ground-based Aegis systems; one in Poland and one in Hawaii. All three, including new Aegis components for two of them and needed missiles (24 per location) and launching hardware for all of them will cost $2.3 billion.
The U.S. also wanted to put silos for the GBI (Ground Based Interceptors) in Romania but Russia was very much against this as they saw it as diluting the intimidation effect of their ICBM force. The GBI project was put on hold but may be revived. The GBI is a 12.7 ton ballistic missile that delivers a 64 kg (140 pound) “kill vehicle” that will intercept a ballistic missile before it begins its descent into the atmosphere. The GBI kill vehicle attempts to destroy the incoming missile, while avoiding decoys. The U.S. already has GBIs deployed in Alaska and California. The GBI can receive target information from a variety of source, mainly a large X-band radar and space based sensors (that can detect ballistic missiles during their initial launch.) Each GBI costs over $100 million (up to several hundred million dollars, depending on how many are built and how you allocated development costs.) The GBI can intercept ballistic missiles launched from as far away as 5,000 kilometers.
Back in 2010 Romania agreed to base American anti-missile systems on its territory. It was assumed this would include a land based Aegis system. At that time Israel also expressed an interest in buying a land based version Aegis, but that deal fell through. Since the land based Aegis in Romania will belong to the United States it was decided to use the land based development version of AEGIS for this since this New Jersey facility was still operational. With so many Aegis systems at sea, development work can be done on those.
The U.S. has long sought to put anti-missile systems in Eastern Europe to protect against ballistic missile attacks from Iran. Russia has opposed this and sees it as a subterfuge to weaken the effect of Russian ballistic missiles attacking European targets. Most Europeans don’t know what to make of that, but East European countries (like Romania) that spent 1945-89 as involuntary Russian vassal (or “satellite”) states, do see a need for protection from Russian missiles.
So far, Aegis has achieved an 83 percent success rate during live test firings. So now many countries want Aegis ABM (Anti-Ballistic Missile) ships for protection. The Aegis system was designed to operate aboard warships (cruisers and destroyers that have been equipped with the special software that enables the AEGIS radar system to detect and track incoming ballistic missiles). Currently, the U.S. Navy has 30 ships with the Aegis anti-missile system. There are over 100 American and foreign warships equipped with Aegis, but less than half of them had the software mods and anti-missile missiles that enable them to shoot down ballistic missiles and low-orbit satellites. Converting an Aegis ship to Aegis ABM costs about $15 million, mainly for new software and a few new hardware items. This is seen as a safe investment.
To knock down ballistic missiles, Aegis uses two similar models of the U.S. Navy Standard anti-aircraft missile, in addition to a modified version of the Aegis radar system, which can now track incoming ballistic missiles. The anti-missile missile is the RIM-161A, also known as the Standard Missile 3 (or SM-3). It has a range of over 500 kilometers and max altitude of over 160 kilometers. The Standard 3 is based on the anti-missile version of the Standard 2 (SM-2 Block IV). This SM-2 missile turned out to be effective against ballistic missile warheads that are closer to their target. One test saw a SM-2 Block IV missile destroy a warhead that was only 19 kilometers up. An SM-3 missile can destroy a warhead that is more than 200 kilometers up. But the SM-3 is only good for anti-missile work, while the SM-2 Block IV can be used against both ballistic missiles and aircraft. The SM-2 Block IV also costs less than half what an SM-3 costs.
The SM-3 has four stages. The first two boost the interceptor out of the atmosphere. The third stage fires twice to boost the interceptor farther beyond the earth’s atmosphere. Prior to each motor firing it takes a GPS reading to correct course for approaching the target. The fourth stage is the nine kg (20 pound) LEAP kill vehicle, which uses infrared sensors to close on the target and ram it.
There seems little doubt that the pro-Russian separatists of East Ukraine have on their hands the blood of the 298 men, women and children whom they killed when they shot down Malaysian Airways flight MH17 with a surface-to-air-missile.
And no hands are bloodier than those of their puppet-master Vladimir Putin.
However, I believe that the stain of guilt extends to Germany, France and Italy, whose leaders have disgracefully done so little to bring the Russian leader and his fellow Kremlin gangsters to heel.

Whenever urged by the international community to punish Russia by imposing economic sanctions, the heads of these three governments have put their own countries’ prosperity before a defence of Western democratic values and, indeed, human life.
Of course, this isn’t the first time they have cynically placed their commercial interests with Moscow ahead of a principled moral stand. When the same separatists illegally annexed the Crimea from Ukraine earlier this year, a barrage of calls went up for tough financial and trade sanctions to be imposed on Russia, in order to try to force Putin to the negotiating table.
Yet the naked financial self-interest among individual nations in the Western alliance prevented any serious measures from being introduced.
America’s position, too, has been one of abject cowardice.
The U.S. president¿s main policy seems to be to leave Angela Merkel, the German chancellor, to sort out the problems with the increasingly bellicose Putin
Although notionally the leader of the international response to what is happening in Ukraine, Barack Obama’s administration has been extremely reluctant to get involved.
Although it belatedly imposed new, tougher sanctions last week just before the MH17 atrocity, those measures were pretty lame: just two Russian banks, two energy companies and some arms manufacturers being hit with sanctions.
But I suppose this was only to be expected from a White House that is incapable of running a coherent foreign policy and is self-evidently uninterested in European affairs.
As a result, it has been business as usual for Putin’s kleptocrat cronies — with only a handful being subject to minor financial restrictions imposed by the EU.
Dishonourably passing the buck, the U.S. president’s main policy seems to be to leave Angela Merkel, the German chancellor, to sort out the problems with the increasingly bellicose Putin.
As a result, Putin has been able to exploit Germany’s heavy economic dependence on Russia and treat his international critics with derision.
And I would argue that this supine approach from Obama and Merkel could have been a significant factor in encouraging the pro-Russian separatists in their campaign of reckless aggression, leading to the slaughter of the 298 aboard the Malaysian passenger jet.
Meanwhile, Germany and Italy have happily continued to benefit from huge amounts of Russian gas flowing into their homes and factories.
Last year, Germany took more than 40 billion cubic metres of gas from Russia out of a total of 127 billion exported to the whole of Western Europe, and the Italians took 26 billion.
The trade has been two-way. Germany exported 36 billion euros worth of goods to Russia last year.
The problem is that Angela Merkel knows that the Berlin-Moscow relationship is one that she destabilises at Germany’s peril.
For although Germany’s economy is strong relative to the rest of Europe’s, it is going through an extended period of low or no-growth as a result of the over-valuation of the euro, which makes its exports to outside the eurozone prohibitively expensive.
For Mrs Merkel, the priority is to shore up the European Union — rather than lead a principled international response to Russian aggression.
Yet that is a deeply unethical attitude. Germany’s duty, surely, is to join the rest of Europe and America to be a bulwark of Western values, such as liberty and democracy, which means standing up to tyrants such as Putin.
Germany is not alone in this cowardice pact.
France is determined to sell Putin the means to wreak murder and destruction in Russia’s name against innocent people.
The French only have small reliance on Russian gas, but they have an increasing dependence on Russia’s belligerent defence ministry to keep their armaments industry going.
The Kremlin has bought two Mistral-class helicopter-carrier assault ships for deployment in the Black Sea — from where they could be used for attacks on Ukraine and, indeed, on any aircraft in danger of straying into Ukrainian airspace.
The deal guarantees 1,000 French jobs over the next four years in the otherwise run-down dockyard town of St Nazaire — vital for a country whose economy is a basket-case.
Left to right: Russian President Vladimir Putin, British Prime Minister David Cameron, U.S. President Barack Obama and French President Francois Hollande in 2013
For once, however, it would seem that Britain is taking a serious moral lead. As well as condemning the Mistral sale by France, Mr Cameron is calling for whole sectors of the Russian economy to be put under sanctions, including financial services.
But even Britain’s moral lead has become tarnished.
For the Tory Party has been exposed for taking donations of almost £1 million from leading Russians over recent years.
The latest came earlier this month when the wife of a billionaire Russian oligarch with close links with Putin gave the party £160,000 after successfully bidding at a lavish Tory fund-raising dinner to play tennis with Mr Cameron and Boris Johnson.

Part of the wreckage at the main crash site of the Boeing 777 Malaysia Airlines flight MH17, which crashed over the eastern Ukraine region
In an attempt to raise more money to bankroll the Tories’ election campaign, the services of Lynton Crosby and party co-chairman, Lord Feldman, were thrown in as ‘ball-boys’.
The woman donor is the wife of Vladimir Chernukhin, who was Russia’s deputy finance minister during Putin’s first term. He received Russia’s Order of Honour from Putin a decade ago.
And despite calls last night for the Conservatives to ‘come clean’ over other big donations from Russians and hand the money back, party officials stubbornly refused.
As for Europe’s other leaders, they must ask themselves one fundamental question: how many more plane-loads of defenceless civilians must be killed before they choose to put the values of Western civilisation, justice and democracy above money in the bank?
For that, or something like it, is what a failure to close down business with Russia now would mean — and the stain it would leave on the consciences of the Germans and the French could become indelible. | weapons_science |

Two 9mm loads are produced by the company, one for competitors. The Envy line was designed to deliver top performance in pistol caliber carbines. Norma claims it can shoot groups of less than 1 inch at 50 yards. The Envy cartridge features a 124-grain FMJ-round nose bullet and is rated at 1,345 fps with a 17 inch carbine barrel.
Another load is a Hexagon match grade line that has been optimized to ensure accuracy from a handgun. Norma has three rounds in the Hexagon range: 9mm Luger (9mm Magnum),.357 Magnum (.45 ACP). The 9mm version has a 124-grain Hexagon bullet. It is made up of six stabilizing grooves as well as an aerodynamic shape. Norma claims that accuracy is 1 in 25 yards. The 6-inch barrel is rated at 1,181 fps. Hexagon cartridges have high-performance powders that ensure consistent velocity.
Both cartridges are dual-use, and can be used in both pistols or carbines. They were tested in a 9mm pistol to determine their accuracy and velocity. I tested them in a hybrid pistol that included a Para Ordnance frame and Caspian slide. It also had a 5-inch Kart barrel.
My 5-inch barrel was able to produce minor power factor with both loads. The FMJ bullet, 124-grain, was clocked in at 1,110 fps (137PF), while the Hexagon bullet was at 1,127fps (1139PF). Velocity spread was very limited. The maximum spread for 30 FMJ rounds of 124-grain was only 31 fps and that of 30 Hexagon rounds, 36 fps. Even the slowest bullets had two power factors less than the average power factor.
The accuracy of the 124-grain FMJ round was 1.68 inches. The maximum spread for a 30-round aggregate group was 2.22 inches. Hexagon loads had an average 10 shot group size of 2.15 inches and all 30 shots were in 2.75 inches.
Accuracy was measured at 25 yards using the gun in Ransom Rest. It is the average of three 10-shot group scores. The total group size comes from targets placed below the 30-round 10-shot targets. Velocity was measured with a Shooting Chrony chronograph, at approximately eight feet. It is an average of 30 shots.
During my tests, there were no malfunctions. The FMJ round was preferred by my pistol over the Hexagon bullet. However, individual guns have their own preferences and you won’t know until you actually try your gun. The accuracy difference at 25 yards was only half an inch, which isn’t much. | weapons_science |

A team of researchers led by Professor Carney Matheson at Griffith University, Australia, analysed residues from the internal surface of an ancient ceramic shard to discover that it likely belonged to a 1,000-year-old hand grenade. Archaeologists discovered four shards in the Armenian Garden in Jerusalem. They believe that one of the shards held the chemical ingredients for an explosive device “consistent with a medieval hand grenade”.
“This research has shown the diverse use of these unique ceramic vessels which include ancient explosive devices,” said Carney Matheson. The molecular archaeologist added, “These vessels have been reported during the time of the Crusades as grenades thrown against Crusader strongholds producing loud noises and bring flashes of light”.
As per the research, the other three vessels most probably contained oils, scented material and medicines – which matches up with what would be expected from such containers. However, the fourth vessel – a stoneware pot with very thick walls and no decoration – contained residue that pointed to the possibility of chemical storage or chemical explosives, the researchers said. The team discovered sulfur, along with mercury and magnesium, all at higher levels than the other pots and the surrounding soil.
The archaeologists are not ruling out other potential uses for the fourth pot: a fuel source for a lamp maybe or a container for oils. However, they have also said that the grenade hypothesis is “worth considering further” as historical accounts of battles mention the use of weapons similar to hand grenades.
The team said that the latest discovery is another piece of evidence for researchers looking to understand how far war waged thousands of years ago. Mr Matheson said that more research on these vessels and their explosive content is still needed to understand ancient explosive technology of the medieval period and the history of explosive weapons in the Eastern Mediterranean. | weapons_science |

As the barrels float downstream, the British fear they contain bombs or commandos, and blast the kegs to smithereens -- then boast of their victory
After the British took over Philadelphia during the Revolutionary War, the Colonials tried various expedients to harass their shipping. One of these was the use of what we would
now call floating mines -- kegs filled with gunpowder and intended to explode among the British ships.
The most intense combat of this sort took place in the winter of 1778. When the British saw a large number of kegs floating downriver, they naturally did all they could to explode them in advance (and, in fact, they were highly successful). The residents of Philadelphia, however, derived great amusement from watching the British attack a bunch of barrels. Hence this song. - RBW | weapons_science |

Some spear phishing attacks are used as means to steal credentials, particularly from high-profile individuals, which would allow access to sensitive data. Even prior to the attack itself, it's important for security teams to understand what data is readily available about their organization and its employees online as this information serves as a resource for scammers looking for new targets A Spear Phishing campaign is slightly different from a normal one. Such a phishing attempt targets specific individuals or institutions.

The SSDS is designed to provide a rapid-reaction anti-air defense capability against the high-speed, low-flying antiship missiles now in the inventories of many potentially hostile nations. Raytheon Naval & Maritime Integrated Systems is the prime contractor and systems integrator.
The SSDS program was restructured in late 1998 to produce a new system, designated the SSDS Mk2, with the goal of achieving a higher level of overall interoperability among combat-systems elements than was possible with the previous configuration.
The new SSDS architecture will be based on the integration of the SSDS Mk1 system, already installed aboard the Whidbey Island-class amphibs. The SSDS Mk1, the first combat system based on a distributed open-system processing architecture to be installed on Navy ships, is based primarily on the use of commercially developed processing and network technology.
The SSDS Mk2 system will be fielded in three variants. A unique configuration, designated Block 0, has been installed on the nuclear-powered aircraft carrier USS Nimitz (CVN 68). The Block 0 system will interface with CEC systems and will use functions of an older combat system -- the Block 1 Advanced Combat Direction System (ACDS) -- for command support, air control, tactical datalink control, and other functions. The ACDS will be phased out beginning with Mk2 SSDS Block 1 units in the fleet as SSDS Mk2 is installed.
The SSDS Mk2 Mod 1 system, which is considered the "foundation" system, is being designed for the aircraft carrier Ronald Reagan (CVN 76), and subsequently will be installed on the Navy's other carriers and the Wasp-class amphibs. In November 2002 the Mod 1 system went through successful testing against several target profiles at the Surface Combat Systems Center, Wallops Island, Va. Raytheon will continue factory qualification trials on the system prior to more demanding testing at Wallops to be followed by ship installation and sea trials.
The SSDS Mk2 Mod 2 configuration is targeted for the San Antonio-class LSDs. The Block 2 will differ from the Block 1 primarily in the number of weapon and sensor interfaces.
The Mk1 and Mk2 systems are based on the integration of shipboard air-defense sensors and weapons with a redundant "distributed" processor architecture and the UYQ-70 advanced display system, which is based on COTS technology.
In the SSDS architecture, each weapon and sensor incorporated into the system is linked to a LAN access unit (LAU). The LAUs are networked with the SSDS LAN and to the display suite, which includes a three-position command table. The display suite and the command table are based on the UYQ-70 display processor.
The SSDS Mk1 weapons configuration consists of the RIM-116A Rolling Airframe Missile (RAM Block 0 or Block 1) and the Phalanx Close-In Weapon System (CIWS), both of which are used for terminal defense against antiship missiles. The SSDS Mk1 sensor configuration consists of the SLQ-32 electronic warfare system, the SPS-49A, the SPS-67, and the Phalanx radars. The SSDS Mk2 configuration with CEC adds additional radars and a "re-architectured" NATO Sea Sparrow missile system.

The moment when the first early human hurled a stone-tipped spear at his prey, rather thrusting at it, has been long debated by archaeologists. Indirect evidence, such as impact fractures on stone points, suggests to some that early humans used projectile spears as early as 500,000 years ago in Africa, but this is widely disputed.
Australian archaeologist Corey O’Driscoll has now found a new method of determining how prehistoric hunters made their kills. With colleagues from the University of Queensland, he made reproductions of flint spear and arrow points attached to wooden shafts and threw or fired them at lamb and cow carcasses. After defleshing the carcasses, he examined the wounds on the bones and compared them to cut marks on butchered animal bones. He found “quite a difference between the butchering marks and projectile impact marks.”
The main difference was the presence of microscopic bits of embedded flint in many of the projectile impact marks, caused by the high velocity of impact. None of the butchering marks contained such fragments.
The findings led O’Driscoll to take a fresh look at 3 bone specimens from large unidentified mammals found in one of the oldest known modern human refuges – Pinnacle Point Cave in South Africa. Projectile impact marks were identified on all 3 bones.
Two of the bones dated to between 91,000 and 98,000 years ago, making them the oldest direct evidence of the use of projectile weapons. The third bone dated even earlier, between 153,000 and 174,000 years ago, but because only a “single grain” of flint was embedded in it, the evidence is open to question.
The development of the projectile spear went on to give modern humans the competitive edge over the Neanderthals in colonising the planet.
It is likely that climate change made the Neanderthals an endangered species in Europe long before modern humans arrived on the scene. Although the short, stocky Neanderthals were biologically adapted to deal with rapid fluctuations in climate, a spell of extreme cold in Europe around 50,000 years ago caused ecological changes which they were slower to adapt to. As the planet’s fresh water became locked in dense ice sheets, the climate dried out and the Neanderthals’ dense woodland hunting grounds, ideal for ambushing prey with thrusting spears, began to be replaced with open grasslands.
When longer-limbed modern humans arrived in Europe from around 40,000 years ago, they were better suited to exploit the herds that roamed these open plains by hunting them with projectile spears – later enhanced with detachable throwing handles called Atlatls to achieve greater velocity. Modern humans went on to colonise the whole of Europe and Eurasia in less than 15,000 years, a feat not matched by the Neanderthals in their 250,000 year presence on the continent.
As well as out-hunting them with the aid of projectile spears, there is evidence to suggest that modern humans may have used the weapons against the Neanderthals in acts of inter-species aggression.
The 50,000 year-old remains of a 40 to 50 year-old male Neanderthal, found in a cave in northeastern Iraq’s Zagros Mountains, showed he had sustained a sharp, deep slice to one of his ribs. Although he seems to have survived the attack, he died within weeks, perhaps from associated lung damage. Anthropologists found that the level of kinetic energy that created the puncture wound and its 45 degrees downward angle were consistent with the ballistic trajectory of a projectile spear – assuming that the 5 ft 6 ins tall Neanderthal was standing at the time. | weapons_science |

On August 21, 2013, a devastating chemical weapons attack occurred in the suburbs of Damascus, Syria. Around 1,400 people were killed, most of them civilians, including more than 400 children. For many months the international community had warned both sides in the Syrian civil war that any use of chemical weapons would have severe consequences. Most nations of the world have agreed by treaty to ban the use of chemical weapons such as Sarin gas in war. Historically, international efforts to ban the use of chemical weapons intensified after World War I.
Based on intelligence sources and a United Nations inspectors’ report, the United States, Britain, and France issued statements blaming the regime of Bashar al-Assad of carrying out the attack. US president Barack Obama prepared to respond to this use of chemical weapons by launching airstrikes against Syrian targets. US military action was then set aside after the United States and Russia agreed to seek UN backing to require Syria to turn over all of its stockpiles of chemical weapons for destruction.
On September 27 UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon blasted Syria’s leader for “crimes against humanity” while announcing that the Security Council had voted to seize Syria’s chemical weapons. The Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) will carry out the council’s resolution in Syria. This organization oversees implementation of the international treaty known as the Chemical Weapons Convention, which has been signed by 189 nation-states. The OPCW’s inspection teams entered Syria before October 1 to begin the process of locating and destroying Syria’s chemical weapons. The OPCW’s work will be difficult because the civil war is ongoing.

What is a grenade?
A grenade is typically an explosive charge surrounded in a safety case, with a firing pin to ensure that it doesn't go off. A grenade is most often made of an explosive called composition B. The explosives make up about half of the weight of the grenade. The case/shell, firing pin, and sometimes handle are all generally made of metal. Waterproofed, well-sealed, and generally pretty safe to handle. Grenades have safety features to ensure they don't go off at random. Grenades have come on a long way since their invention. They interestingly existed since before the Napoleonic wars in Europe, glass bottles or jars were filled with gun powder and bits of metal. Grenades only started to become commonplace during world war 1, with trench warfare leading to the invention of many new and horrifying weapons. The very first grenades used were often cans filled with gunpowder and shrapnel. Very different from modern grenades, but still very similar in principle.
How do different grenades work?
Most grenades are made up of major components. An explosive charge, a frame to contain it, a detonating mechanism, and a pin that acts as a safety. If you look at the standard M67 grenades, it looks like a ball with a handle. You squeeze the handle down, which allows you to pull out the safety pin. Once the pin is removed and the handle is released, the detonating mechanism begins. You then have a few seconds to throw the grenade before the detonator ignites the explosives. The Explosives then, surprise, explode and throw out bits of metal. Contrary to what you might have seen in movies, a grenade won't blow up a house. It will, however, do a lot of damage to the surrounding area. You don't want to be on the receiving end of one, that's for sure.
Are grenades dangerous?
This may seem like a silly question - Why of course grenades are dangerous! Indeed, when the detonating mechanism begins they are incredibly dangerous. But, until that time, they are pretty darn safe. They can be bumped, knocked dropped, thrown, submerged in water, and even heated up to high temperatures without so much as beginning to sizzle. Unlike the original grenades, that consisted of gunpowder, modern grenades use safer far more stable explosives. A grenade is not dangerous unless you intend it to be. Soldiers would walk around with grenades on them if they were. A grenade can be thrown about 35 meters quite comfortably. It has a lethal radius of just 5 meters from the point of explosion and will cause injuries to those within 15m. The shock wave of an explosion can be felt from much further away.
How much does a grenade weigh?
As mentioned above, the standard M67 grenade weighs about 14 ounces. But, the explosives themselves only weigh about 5-7 ounces. This is the case for most grenades, the bulk of the weight is made of the shell. The shell might seem pointless, but it plays quite a big role in the effectiveness of the grenade. Sure, the explosives cause a lot of the total damage to the immediate area. But not all of it. The shell breaks up with the explosion, it is forced outwards with incredible force. The shell breaks up and is thrown outwards ripping through whatever gets in its way. That is partially why the effective radius of a grenade is about 15m when the lethal radius is just 5m. The metal will fly through the air catching people in the arms, legs, torsos, wherever. It does enough damage to put them out of action. But not enough that they die. Grenades are very effective. Gruesome, but effective.
Why do grenades weigh so much?
Most of the weight of a grenade is made up of the shell. This shell is what keeps the explosives safe from harm, its what stops them from accidentally igniting and blowing up in your hand. If grenades had lighter shells, they would be far more likely to break or misfire. Additionally, the extra weight makes it easier to throw. That might sound counterintuitive throwing something lighter should be easier. But, when you are strong enough, throwing something heavier generally gives it the momentum to keep going. Throwing a grenade across the street into the house on the other side is easier if the grenades weigh more. It also gives the grenade enough strength to make it through a window, for example.
The explosives themself weigh just under half the total weight of the grenade. Again, you could use fewer explosives but then you are going to have a less effective weapon. Grenades are designed to be as damaging as possible to a very small area. This is why they aren't bigger and heavier than they are. You don't want to completely obliterate the room that you are about to enter, just remove any hostiles from inside. Tactical grenades, such as stun grenades, are often lighter. As they use fewer explosives and don't rely on shrapnel to be effective. There are so many different types of grenades, some weigh more than the M67. Some weigh less. But, they all weigh around the same amount. The best way to gauge a grenades weight is working out whether its meant to be lethal or nonlethal. Lethal almost always weigh more. | weapons_science |

On this day (-2) in 1836, the government of the United States granted a patent on a device that would become the prototypical American weapon. And, by accident, its development would become a prototypical story of American invention.
The patent, of course, was awarded to Samuel Colt for his "single barrel pistol with a six chamber revolving breech." You and I (as well as Hoppy, Roy and Gene) knew it as a "six shooter." Colt's idea was not entirely unique. Several patents for revolvers had been granted earlier (one of the earliest was for a "12 shooter" but it, like the others, didn't work well). But Colt, who was 22 when he got the patent, showed his gun was practical (and at the time....it was the only way a man on horseback could get several shots off successfully).
Therefore, it seemed like a good idea and Colt found backers who helped him open "The Patent Arms Company" in Paterson, N.J. But despite rave notices for the weapon, sales were slow and the factory closed in 1842. Colt slipped closer to bankruptcy. Then in 1846, fate took another weird turn.
The U.S. was going to war with Mexico. And the Texans they were fighting for, suggested to the American Secretary of War that many of them were very happy with Mr. Colt's six shooter. So the Secretary of War ordered lots of them. That left Mr. Colt with several problems. 1) He had no factory. 2) He didn't have a six-shooter left to his name. He attacked the second one first. He advertised for samples of his own gun. Gun owners thought the ads meant the revolver was now a collector's item…..so they refused to sell. Colt was reduced to hiring a gunsmith to work from Colt's own original diagrams (with suggestions from the famous Texas Ranger - Sam Walker).
Finally.....when they had developed a prototype…..Colt needed to hurry things up. So he hired…..who else.....the son of Eli Whitney to implement the concepts of mass production and interchangeable parts. Within a decade the Colt .44 was the gun that was winning the West.
To celebrate go to some place with a swinging door and order six shots of red eye. And tell the surly looking guy with a facial tic and a mustache (down at the end of the bar), the immortal words of Hopalong Cassidy. "No matter how loud or how fierce the guy behind a rock sounds, if you count the bullets, when he's out of ammunition he's out of luck." Thanks Hoppy!

Pearson, published by Palgrave Macmillan in August 2005. © Graham S. Pearson, 2005.
Why Saddam had no WMD stockpiles
by Graham Pearson
In the run up to the start in March 2003 of the war in Iraq, there appeared to be little doubt in the US and the UK that Iraq possessed stockpiles of chemical and biological weapons. It was made equally clear in both countries after the war that a search was being mounted for these stockpiles. Now, over two and a half years later, there are no signs of any stockpiles of chemical or biological weapons and it is increasingly unlikely that any will be found. Why were there no stockpiles?
In my earlier book The UNSCOM Saga in 1999 I pointed out that although large quantities of mustard gas, sarin and other nerve agents had been produced during the war against Iran, these had been produced for immediate use in the war as long-term storage was not a requirement. This approach was significantly different from past Western chemical weapons programmes which had required a retaliatory capability that could be stored until needed. Consequently, Iraq might well have adopted a different concept in regard to chemical and biological weapons. Because there was no suggestion that Iraq was seeking chemical or biological weapons as a means of retaliation in kind or as a deterrent capability, but rather that in the Iraq/Iran war of the 1980s Iraq had simply produced its chemical agents to immediately fill into weapons and use them hence avoiding stability and storage problems, it followed that there would be no requirement to have stockpiles of filled weapons but instead to have a production capability that could be used whenever required i.e. a mobilization capability. Although there was some stockpile of chemical weapons after the 1991 Gulf War, it is possible that this was simply a stockpile that had been left over from the Iran/Iraq war as there had been no certainty when that war ended in 1988 that it might not restart.
Such a mobilization capacity approach would have particular advantages for a country such as Iraq that was being subject to ongoing monitoring and verification. There would be little sense in trying to produce covert stockpiles of agent — first, because Iraq had not followed the approach of building large stockpiles, and second, because there would always be the risk that such a stockpile would be found by the United Nations Special Commission (UNSCOM)/ United Nations Monitoring, Verification and Inspection Commission (UNMOVIC) with ensuing Security Council action — and far more sense in simply trying to maintain a capability that could produce agent at a later date when the UNSCOM/UNMOVIC ongoing monitoring and verification regime had been discontinued and chemical weapons were needed for some future Iraqi military action. It would be much easier for Iraq to successfully conceal such a capability within the dual purpose technology industry associated with so many chemical and biological materials.
This explanation is consistent with observations from two areas. First, it has gradually become known following the US/UK/Russian trilateral agreement and the subsequent trilateral process, that the approach adopted by the former Soviet Union in regard to its biological weapons was to have a large mobilization capability hidden by embedding it in a civilian dual purpose capability ‘Biopreparat’ that could produce biological agent when required rather than to maintain stockpiles of biological agents and filled weapons This mobilization capability would be exercised from time to time so as to maintain the capability and prevent it from atrophying. In one example it has been stated that 10 to 14 days would be enough to produce sufficient anthrax to arm ten Soviet SS-18 missile warheads. It is known that the Soviet Union and subsequently Russia had links with Iraq and consequently Iraq could have been aware of the Soviet Union/Russian approach to mobilization rather than stockpiles of filled weapons.
Secondly, Rolf Ekeus, Executive Chairman of UNSCOM from 1991 to 1997, when interviewed on 24 February 2000 said that ‘in my view, there are no large quantities of weapons. I don't think that Iraq is especially eager in the biological and chemical area to produce such weapons for storage. Iraq views those weapons as tactical assets instead of strategic assets, which would require long-term storage of those elements, which is difficult. Rather, Iraq has been aiming to keep the capability to start up production immediately should it need to.’[Emphasis added] After the war in Iraq in June 2003, he made the point clearly that ‘the rather bizarre political focus on the search for rusting drums and pieces of munitions containing low-quality chemicals has tended to distort the important question of WMD in Iraq and exposed the American and British administrations to unjustified criticism.‘ and that this ‘criticism is a distortion and trivialization of a major threat to international peace and security.’ Three months later, when asked why no WMD had been found since the end of the war, Rolf Ekeus said that his feeling ‘is very clearly that the Iraqi policy long before the war was to build capability to develop its capabilities to produce weapons for the situation, for the conflict situation, not to produce for storage and create a problem of storage management.’ Furthermore he considered that Saddam ‘decided years ago that it was unwise to store mustard gas and other unstable and corrosive poisons in barrels, and also difficult to conceal them. Therefore, rather than store large stocks of weapons of mass destruction, he would adapt the program to retain an infrastructure (laboratories, equipment, trained scientists, detailed plans) that could “break-out” and ramp up production when required. The model is Japanese “just in time” manufacturing, where you save on inventory by making and delivering stuff in immediate response to orders.’
A Key Finding in the Comprehensive Report issued in September 2004 by the Iraq Survey Group was that Saddam Hussein wanted to end sanctions while “preserving the capability to reconstitute his weapons of mass destruction (WMD) when sanctions were lifted.” It was evident that Saddam’s intention was to preserve Iraq’s intellectual capital for WMD with a minimum of foreign intrusiveness and loss of face. Furthermore, the way Iraq organized its chemical industry in the late 1990s provided an infrastructure from which it could restart a chemical weapons (CW) programme. The domestic chemical industrial base would also allow concealment of CW-related elements or indeed a CW production capacity amidst a tangle of legitimate civilian production. Site visits and debriefs by the ISG revealed that Iraq maintained its ability for reconfiguring and “making-do” with available equipment as substitutes for sanctioned items. The ISG judged, based on available chemicals, infrastructure, and scientist debriefings, that Iraq probably could produce large quantities of mustard gas within months of a decision to produce. In regard to biological weapons, the ISG judged that Iraq had a biological weapons (BW) capability ready to function and Iraq could have reinstituted a rudimentary BW program within a few weeks or months of a decision to do so.
It is consequently clear that the widespread focus, both politically and in the media, on whether there are stockpiles of chemical and biological weapons to be found in Iraq is misplaced. Such a focus fails to recognize that in an aggressor state, there is no requirement to have such stockpiles as the national strategy is not one of having an ability to retaliate in kind but rather one that is able to deploy and use chemical and biological weapons at a time of its choosing. Such an approach avoids problems associated with the stability and storage of chemical and biological agents and, furthermore, means that there is no stockpile to unequivocally demonstrate non-compliance with the international prohibition regimes of the Biological and Toxin Weapons Convention (BTWC) and the Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC). In addition, because storage and stability are no longer as important, it means that different chemical and biological materials may be utilized rather than those materials traditionally regarded as agents by states whose primary interest was in a retaliatory or deterrent capability. Such an extension to different chemical and biological materials underlines the importance of the general purpose criterion in the prohibitions of both the BTWC and the CWC as it is this that ensures the prohibition of all past, present and future agents. The general purpose criterion in the BTWC is highlighted below in the basic prohibition in Article I which states that:
Similarly in the CWC, the general purpose criterion is highlighted below in the definition in Article II of chemical weapons as being:
The general purpose criteria ensure that all biological agents and toxins and all chemicals are prohibited unless of types and quantities consistent with peaceful purposes.
The real danger and threat is thus of a mobilization capability that may utilize different chemical or biological materials and that is concealed within legitimate civil industrial capabilities for chemical and biological materials.
This conclusion about the real danger and threat has important consequences for the global prohibition regimes for biological and chemical weapons. The focus needs increasingly to be upon all states to improve transparency of their activities and thereby to build international confidence that their activities are indeed in compliance with the BTWC, CWC and other multilateral regimes. Whilst the adage that ‘absence of evidence is not evidence of absence’ has been said on several occasions in the context of Iraq’s weapons of mass destruction, it needs to be recognized internationally that the more evidence that is provided that a country’s activities are in compliance with the prohibition regimes, the greater the confidence that other states gain that a state is indeed in compliance especially when the evidence provided by a country is found to be both internally consistent with other information provided by the country and externally consistent with information available to or provided by other countries or by intergovernmental organizations.
There is a real need to ensure that politicians and the media are better informed about the nature of the real threat from chemical and biological materials. Namely that whilst traditional chemical or biological agents may be chosen by a state wishing to use such weapons, they may increasingly choose to use some alternative chemical or biological materials although such a choice will increase uncertainty as to the effectiveness of the attack. Secondly, that an aggressor state has no need to have a stockpile of chemical or biological weapons but rather that such a state will seek to have a capability to produce the chemical and biological agents when it wishes to use them thereby reducing the risk that the international community will detect its possession of such prohibited materials. Furthermore, the capability to produce such chemical or biological materials is increasingly likely to be concealed within the dual purpose capability of the civil industry.

They also recognize the necessity for gun protection, maintaining the integrity of their firearms in a safe, dust-free gun case. There is no wiggle room when it comes to firearms safety; guns must be kept away from children and those who might misuse firearms. It is to that end that contemporary gun cases are crafted with specific features including locks and a durable outer construction with high-tech materials.
Naturally, the protection of human life is the primary concern, but firearm protection is crucial to keeping the gun in perfect working order. If the gun's integrity is compromised, the firearm is on its way to being totally useless, a sad loss to the collector or user. Without exception, sporting weapons as well as working weapons require a reliable, padded gun case, one that won't deteriorate, one that will keep the gun in prime condition.
Quality gun case manufacturers like Casesbypelican.com, for example, provide top-notch gun cases that are designed to protect guns for years. Pelican actually provides a "forever" guarantee. Such a powerful guarantee is exemplary and not necessarily the industry standard.
If you use or collect firearms, and do not already have a quality, lockable, rugged gun case, do not hesitate to get that taken care of immediately. Choose a high caliber gun case website and order now to avoid unfortunate accidents or regrettable incidents. Keep you family, friends, neighbors and guns safe. | weapons_science |

By: Amy Jacquin
It claims to be tough under fire. Commercials show the Master Lock taking a bullet, but still holding strong. We put that tough theory to the test, and asked, "Does it work?"
Corporal Rick Schmidt of the Cape Girardeau Police Department helps us test the Master Lock. He'll shoot two locks, using a hand gun, and a 308-caliber Remington 700 sniper rifle.
First Corp. Schmidt takes aim with the hand gun. The hand gun did damage the lock, but it did not trigger a release.
"You can still see there's the bullet," exclaimed Corp. Schmidt. "It just stuck right on the lock. it moved the cylinder part a quarter of an inch. But it will not open, and it's still locked."
So Master Lock passes the easier test. But now we target it with our heavy-hitter, the Remington rifle. The lock explodes, and is completed torn in half horizontally. But the big question, did it come unlocked? "It's still locked, and I shot it completely in half." Schmidt says as he yanked hard on the lock. "It's pretty tough. I shot it with a sniper rifle, and it's still locked. I'm surprised. I thought it would come apart."
We should point out that we did not try bolt cutters on the lock, which Corp. Schmidt says would likely break the lock right open. But their slogan doesn't say anything about cutting it open, it says the Master Lock is "tough under fire." And that holds true today. | weapons_science |

Steel strengthened and armoured for the most part with rods and layers. However there is also increasingly the use of plastics for some of the internal parts in an attempt to try and reduce the tanks overall weight. A tank is not the most economical of vehicles and anything that can help it move around the battlefield is welcome to the people who pilot them. Tank design has also started to favour the aerodynamic and even sculpturing to deflect any shells that are fired at it. Even more impressive is the advent of stealth technology being incorporated into the tanks appearance. There are also moves to create a tank that shimmers into the background and ones that attempt to disrupt the eyes when you look at it. Whilst you might not be able to have a go with the most modern tanks you can still get an idea of what’s involved by going on a Tank Driving Experience with armourgeddon. What about the early tanks? What were they made from?
You might be extremely surprised to learn that the first tank was not made of metal. In fact, we are not even talking about a model tank, we are concerned with the very first tank or at least a motorised vehicle that could enter into battle protecting the soldiers inside. As ever, it was the work of the artisan inventor Leonardo Da Vinci whose work saw the first real attempt at making a tank. This was a wooden teepee shape vehicle that powered its way into the fight only four wheels powered by two men pedalling inside. Given the state of weapons at the time, it’s easy to see that Leonardo was thinking about how he could translate the Galleys and Galliases of Venice and its naval power (back then the Italian port ruled the waves) onto a land battlefield. Sadly, it was never made but yet again we can see that Da Vinci had all the best ideas first.
Fast forward to the early twentieth century and a conflict that even Da Vinci could not have foreseen. The Great War is at a stalemate and something needs to be done to protect allied troops when they advance. Enter the tank. The first were made out of solid panels of wrought iron riveted together. Inside was a loud belching engine that filled the cabin with acrid fumes, smoke and heat. Whilst it was not pleasant it was very protected by the iron and the machine gun was finally cancelled out. | weapons_science |

However, with the increasing popularity of recreational shooting, some people have wondered what would happen if a propane tank were shot with a shotgun or other type of gun.
The thought of shooting a propane tank may seem like a hell of a good time, especially after seeing a huge explosion from these gas tanks in movies. However, there are potential dangers and risks involved. Propane tanks are pressurized vessels that contain flammable gas, and any damage to the tank could cause a propane leak, which can be extremely dangerous.
When propane leaks, it can create a highly explosive mixture of gas and air. This mixture can be ignited by a spark, flame, or even a bullet impact, resulting in a subsequent gas explosion. Furthermore, shooting at a propane tank could cause a rupture, leading to a rapid release of the gas.
A ruptured tank can also cause a liquid expanding vapor explosion (LEVE) which occurs when liquid propane rapidly vaporizes, expanding up to 270 times in volume. In our guide, you can learn more bout what happens when shooting propane tanks.
By the end, you’ll see the results may not be as expected, yet shooting propane tank is still dangerous for most people. (Learn How To Open Propane Tank)
What’s The Chances Propane Tanks Explode?
Bad guys trying to shoot a propane tank may see drastic results. Because of explosions caused by the combustion of propane gas in tanks, accidental gun discharge are among the leading cause of property damage and personal harm.
When exposed to sparks or flames, propane is highly flammable and produces heat. A bullet entering a tank could have a spark, which ignites and causes a propane explosion that can hurt or kill people. However, propane tanks rarely explode, yet the cylinders can in one of two ways: through a gas tank leak or by a BLEVE (boiling liquid expanding vapor explosion).
If the cylinders are damaged or overfilled, or there is a malfunctioning valve or hose, there are chances of a gas leak into the air. A BLEVE could happen if the tank is exposed to high heat or fire. A huge fireball produced by the explosion of a propane tank has the potential to ignite a fire or cause severe burns.
Common causes of propane tank explosions are:
1. Open bleeder valve
If there is too much internal pressure, this valve lets the propane exit the tank. The high-explosive propane can leak and catch fire if the valve is left open.
2. Odor fade
Propane is an odorless gas, but it has a rotten-egg stench because of a chemical added to it. This will assist in finding leaks. But occasionally, the smell can disappear due to different things, such as air, water, or rust. This may make it more difficult to detect a leak.
Any fire source, such as a grill, a cigarette, a spark, or a flame, can fall under this category. These may result in a BLEVE or ignite a propane leak.
Any number of activities, such as lighting a propane tank on fire, placing it close to a heat source, or utilizing a propane tank as a target practice for firearms, can fall under this category. These might result in a BLEVE or hurt the tank.
To prevent propane tank explosions, follow these safety tips:
- Check the tank frequently for rust, damage, or leaks.
- Keep the tank stored away from heat sources and combustible materials in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated location.
- Observe the manufacturer’s instructions and only use the tank for specified purposes.
- Avoid overfilling the tank and closing the valve.
- Don’t shoot at the tank or subject it to intense burning heat or fire.
- When the tank is empty or past its prime, dispose of it responsibly.
Safety Measures On Small Propane Tanks
Small propane tanks are a typical way to power backyard grills and other propane-fueled appliances, but they pose significant safety dangers if not handled properly. Anyone who uses propane tanks should be aware of the potential repercussions of shooting one.
Even though shooting small propane tanks might seem harmless fun, it can have terrible consequences that can result in injury or even death. It’s critical to remember that, despite the size of a small propane tank appearing harmless, it can generate an explosion with catastrophic impact if it’s shot or otherwise exposed to tremendous heat.
The tank will experience tremendous pressure due to the rapidly expanding gas inside; when this pressure reaches a certain level, the container will burst and explode. (Read Can A Propane Tank Lay On Its Side)
Inspect propane tanks properly.
Whenever the fuel tank is not in use, turn it off. Regularly inspect for fuel leaks, damage, or corrosion. Spray the tank and the hose with a solution of soapy water. There is a fuel leak if bubbles are present.
If necessary, swap out the fuel tank or the hose.
Use propane tanks properly.
- Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for connecting, lighting, and using the appliance and fuel canister.
- Do not use dented, rusty, or out-of-date fuel tanks.
- Use a cylinder that is the proper size for the appliance, neither too large nor too small.
- Use only tanks with the same connection or valve as the appliance.
- Use only tanks that have been approved or certified by respected organizations.
Store propane tanks safely.
- Store your tank outside, away from heat sources and combustible objects, in a cold, dry, and well-ventilated location.
- Do not store your fuel tank indoors or in a basement, garage, or enclosed space.
- Store your tank away from cars and sunlight.
- Store your tank away from electrical equipment and appliances.
- Don’t store your tank near kids or animals.
Transport propane tanks safely.
- A tank should be transported standing upright and fastened with a strap or rope.
- A tank should never be driven or transported in a closed vehicle or on a passenger seat.
- A tank leaking, broken, or overfilled tank should not be transported.
- Never transport more than four tanks at once. Never keep a tank in a parked car for an extended period.
How Strong Are Propane Tanks?
For cooking and heating, propane tanks are a common and practical appliance for many domestic uses. How robust are these tanks, though? The fact that these tanks can be highly durable, even when shot at with a gun, may surprise many people.
Contrary to what some might believe, a propane tank will not explode when shot with a gun. The tank cannot hold enough pressure to cause an explosion because the bullet damages the tank’s exterior metal layer.
The ensuing fire, however, may be hazardous and cause burns if gasoline or other combustible substances were added to the mixture. Although they are made to withstand extreme temperatures and pressures, propane tanks are not unbreakable. A propane tank’s strength is influenced by various elements, including the tank’s size, shape, composition, and state.
The following are some typical ways to gauge a propane tank’s strength:
The propane gas inside the tank exerts this power. A safety relief valve on propane tanks allows the gas to escape if the pressure rises above a predetermined level. To maintain the liquid propane gas’s state, propane pressure should typically range from 100 to 200 psi.
Based on the temperature outside, a propane tank’s pressure inside changes. For instance, a typical 20-pound propane tank will have a pressure inside of 145 psi at 70 degrees. On a day with 100 degrees, the pressure in that same tank will be 172 psi.
This is how much room the propane gas fuel occupies inside the tank. To allow for gas expansion, propane tanks can only be filled up to 80% of the way. The pressure and temperature of the propane fuel determine its volume within a tank. For instance, a 20-pound propane cylinder has a maximum capacity of 4.7 gallons. (Learn How To Attach A Patio Roof To An Existing Roof)
Propane tank bulk and gas. Propane tanks have a tare weight and a gross weight. The volume and density of propane gas determine its weight inside a tank. For instance, a full 20-pound propane tank weighs 38 pounds and tares 18 pounds.
This is the maximum quantity of heat energy that can be generated by burning propane gas. The total heat energy that a propane tank can produce when full is measured in BTUs.
The volume and pressure of the propane gas determine its BTU inside a tank. For instance, a 20-pound propane tank has a total BTU rating of around 430,000 BTUs. If propane tanks are broken, leak, or are exposed to intense heat or fire, they may blow up.
The quick expansion of the propane gas may cause a BLEVE (boiling liquid expanding vapor explosion), which is a violent burst of the tank.
Mythbusters Propane Tank Shooting
In two episodes of their well-known television program, the Mythbusters crew debunked the Myth of the Propane Tank Shooting. The legend was based on a scene in the James Bond film Casino Royale where Bond uses a revolver to shoot a propane tank, causing it to blow up into a large fireball.
The first episode, “James Bond Special 2,” debuted in 2008 on television. In this episode, the Mythbusters attempted to blow up a propane tank using a 9 mm handgun, a.357 Magnum revolver, and a.223 rifles.
They employed a variety of bullet types, including armor-piercing, full metal jackets, and hollow points. Shooting at a metal plate behind the tank was another attempt to make sparks. Nevertheless, none of their efforts could light the propane gas.
In 2010, the second episode, “No Pain, No Gain,” was shown. In this episode, the Mythbusters attempted to blow up a propane tank using more potent weaponry and explosives. They employed a 7.62 mm minigun, a.50 caliber rifle, and a shaped charge.
They used tracer rounds and armor-piercing incendiary rounds to generate even more heat and sparks. With the minigun and the armor-piercing shaped charge, they could ignite the tank and cause it to explode, but they couldn’t cause a hole with the tracer rounds from the rifle.
They concluded that the myth was true, but only under stringent conditions. The Mythbusters Propane Tank Shooting demonstrated how difficult it is to cause propane tanks to explode by shooting them. Propane tanks are highly resistant to gunfire and explosions.
It also demonstrated that it is conceivable and that there are specific circumstances, such as those caused by incendiary rounds, in which a propane tank can explode with sufficient power and heat.
Will A Propane Tank Explode In A Car?
A propane tank inside a closed truck or RV is unlikely to explode. However, leaving a propane tank in a closed car parked in the sun is not safe. If the safety valve disk ruptures, the tank may leak even if it doesn’t burst.
If you’re camping, bring your tank in a vehicle with open windows and excellent ventilation to keep the temperature down. Keep your truck or car out of the sun if you stop. Park in the shade and leave the windows open for ventilation.
Could A Propane Tank Explode In The Sun?
It’s doubtful that a propane tank explosion would occur in the light. Most US propane tanks are white to absorb less solar heat. They also include a safety release valve to exhaust and not explode if the temperature rises.
Propane and other LPG tanks are only 80% full, allowing 20% vaporization when the tank heats up. This stops the tank from exploding. Avoid exposing the tank to direct sunlight for long periods. The safety valve may leak even if the pressure doesn’t crush the vessel.
When Temperature Rises, Will Propane Tanks Explode?
Pressure-proof vessels are designed around maximum and minimum working temperatures. Excessive ambient temperatures are within the safe range, making propane gas tank explosions unlikely.
Pressure safety valves, for instance, are typically set to 25 bar. The valve opens a hole when the internal pressure reaches that level, releasing pressure from the fuel-filled tank. (Learn How To Clean A White Door)
Conclusion: Will A Gun Cause A Propane Explosion?
If you’ve watched many action movies, television shows, or video games, you might think that firing a shot at a propane tank will cause a massive fireball explosion. However, an explosion from bullets hardly ever happens. It’s unlikely that shooting a propane tank will result in an explosion.
To burn, fire needs oxygen. Typically, propane tanks don’t have enough oxygen to start a fire and cause an explosion. Neither the tank nor the high rate of speed from the speeding bullets is hot to the point they will cause holes and leaks and ignite the fuel in the tank.
The likelihood of a propane tank catching fire and burning is highest when it is almost empty, with most of the gas burned off, and there is more oxygen than propane gas fuels inside the cylinder. | weapons_science |

In the 1977 film "Star Wars" by George Lucas, most of the Stormtroopers are left-handed. That is because of how the weapons are constructed. Their weapons are based on a real weapon, essentially the Sterling L2A3 9mm SMG (sub-machine gun) a military weapon developed in the late 1940s in the UK and adopted by the British and Canadian Armies in the 1950s. The magazine is on the left-hand side of the stormtroopers weapons. This construction caused it to hit the stormtroopers in the chest. Therefore they have to switch grip of the weapon, which made them look like left handed stormtroopers. The curved left entry side mounted magazine was removed and replaced with a much smaller version, and that was as much as it was modified for the film.

The external metal finishes of this HD shotgun are Parkerized; the barrel is a plain barrel with a brass bead at the muzzle. The Parkerized finish was extremely well-done and evenly applied. The Navy SEAL modified trench gun version lost the heat shield, but added the extended magazine to increase the capacity to 8 shots.

Events Ithaca 37 Review The Ithaca 37 has got quite a name and reputation behind it: The look and feel in some ways surpassed the upper-deck Remington and a high-end discontinued Winchester model that we shall not name for fear of sending some readers sobbing from the room in fond memories of a gun gone by. Above all, the Ithaca 37 was a great shotgun. The look and feel of the gun is just okay. The 37 has a slightly dated design and the occasional feel of less than sturdy action.
Sometimes simply running a finger along the metal edges can reveal some milling issues. This gun shoots great and will surly hit your target. There are also several different barrel sizes available. This is also one of the few shotfuns in the top ten pumps that come in 16 and 28 gauge, which is preferable for customers who want those options. The Ithaca 37 is pretty light, even with the longer barrel options, so watch the recoil or invest in one of their higher-end recoil pads.
We really wanted to be more fond of this shotgun. This gun simply leaves us wanting a little more. Hopefully they can pull it together, even at the existing price point, and give us the high-quality gun we are paying for.

What is the history and value of Ithaca double bbl 12 ga shotgun? Made in Value depends significantly on the condition of the gun, but if in very good condition value probably between.
Design And Development The Ithaca 37 is based on a patent by the famous firearms designer John Browning, initially marketed as the Remington Model The Model 17 was a gauge of trim proportions, which Remington later redesigned and refined into the popular side-ejecting Remington Model The Model 31 would eventually be replaced in production by the less expensive to make Remington which is still produced to this day. Following the First World War, the Ithaca Gun Company was searching for a pump-action shotgun to produce, primarily to compete with the ubiquitous Winchester Model They settled on waiting for Remington Model 17 patents to expire.
After gearing for production of the Ithaca Model 33, they discovered a Pedersen patent that would not expire until ; along with the introduction date, they changed the model designation from 33 to With the depression dragging on and war looming on the horizon, it was possibly the worst time to introduce a sporting arm. Many sporting arms ceased production entirely during the same period.
While Ithaca did produce some shotguns for military use during the war, they also produced M pistols and M3 Grease Guns. Made in many different models, the Ithaca 37 has the longest production run for a pump-action shotgun in history, surpassing that of the Winchester Model 12 that had originally inspired Ithaca to produce pump-action shotguns.
Ithaca has suffered many setbacks in its history, changing hands numerous times. At one time, the Ithaca 37 was renamed the Model 87, although it was soon changed back in one of many ownership changes.

I’d see one from time to time but not at a price I could afford or a trade I could do. To acquire the gun, and now, is a special treat. I know that some will be angry with me, but I’m going to shoot it. It does have one fault that may explain its condition. That will be changed. It is unfortunate, but I’ve already discovered that putting my finger on the trigger it automatically pushes the current safety to the ON position, blocking the trigger and making this combat shotgun unshootable. Fortunately, the Ithaca M37 safety is easy to reverse requiring only a bit of screwdriver work properly fitting screwdrivers, please , time and a right hand safety button.
I think this is likely the reason this gun remained in unfired condition. | weapons_science |

The two bombs killed at least 129,000 people, most civilians.
While the attacks remain the only use of nuclear weapons in the history of warfare, the US had considered using such weapons during the Korean War from 1950 to 1953.
In an article published in Dec 2004 in Le Monde Diplomatique, Bruce Cumings, a University of Chicago historian, cited multiple instances of such threats by the US.
On Nov 30, 1950, US President Harry Truman said the US might use any weapon in its arsenal. "The threat was not the faux pas many assumed it to be, but was based on contingency planning to use the bomb," Cumings wrote.
On Dec 9, 1950, Gen Douglas MacArthur said that he wanted commander's discretion to use atomic weapons in the Korean theater. On Dec 24, he submitted "a list of retardation targets" for which he required 26 atomic bombs. He also wanted four to drop on the "invasion forces" and four more for "critical concentrations of enemy air power".
In interviews published posthumously, MacArthur said he had a plan that would have won the war in 10 days. "I would have dropped 30 or so atomic bombs . . . strung across the neck of Manchuria", Cumings quoted MacArthur as saying.
Then he would have introduced half a million Chinese Nationalist troops at the Yalu and then "spread behind us — from the Sea of Japan to the Yellow Sea — a belt of radioactive cobalt . . . it has an active life of between 60 and 120 years. For at least 60 years there could have been no land invasion of Korea from the North."
MacArthur was certain that the Russians would have done nothing about this extreme strategy, Cumings said.
The US came closest to using atomic weapons again in April 1951, when Truman fired MacArthur, Cumings said. Although much related to this episode is still classified, it is now clear that Truman did not remove MacArthur simply because of his repeated insubordination, but because he also wanted a reliable commander on the scene should Washington decide to use nuclear weapons.
"Truman traded MacArthur for his atomic policies," Cumings wrote.
These were just some of the cases Cumings cited in the article.
Gallup polls conducted in those years revealed US public sentiment towards the use of nuclear weapons.
In Aug 1950 as US-led United Nations military forces faced possible defeat two months into the Korean War, Gallup asked Americans what they thought of using atomic bomb in the conflict.
The public views were clear, with 60 percent saying nuclear bombs should not be used and only 28 saying they should be used. The other 12 percent had no opinion.
With the war still raging a year later, Gallup returned to the issue, with a different question, asking whether UN forces should use atomic bombs "on enemy military targets in Korea."
Perhaps because of the emphasis on military targets, or because the question asked about the UN rather than the US dropping the bombs, or perhaps because support had truly grown — the reasons are unclear — 40 percent of Americans were supportive and another 10 percent offered qualified support.
The poll, brought up last week by Lydia Saad, a senior editor at Gallup, is a reminder of the current situation on the Korean Peninsula. The Korean War continued until an armistice was signed in July 1953, which literally means the war will not officially end until a peace treaty is signed.
Under such threats from the US, China started to develop its own nuclear arsenal in the mid 1950s. While initial assistance from the Soviet Union helped, the break in relations between China and the Soviet Union from 1958-1960 meant China had to embark on a policy of self-reliance.
On Oct 16, 1964, China detonated its first atomic bomb. On June 17, 1967, China detonated its first H-bomb. It came just 32 months after China's first atomic test, and was described as the shortest time line of the first five nuclear powers.
China was the first nation to propose the no first use of nuclear weapons policy ever since its first nuclear test in 1964 and has stuck to the policy ever since, while US-led NATO has repeatedly rejected calls for adopting such a policy. China's minimum deterrence policy is also regarded by international relations experts as wise.

On D-Day, 2 TAF fielded 18 Squadrons of Typhoon fighter-bombers. In the following weeks, they played a vital role in the battle for Normandy, establishing a well-earned reputation for fast and accurate close support. By this time, most Typhoons were carrying rockets rather than bombs. In theory, it was possible to re-role the Typhoons for the carriage of rockets or bombs quite easily, but in practice a number of Squadrons, including 197 Squadron, retained bombs as their principle air-to-ground weapon. In this case the Typhoons are carrying two 500lb bombs. These aircraft were referred to as ‘Bomphoons’. | weapons_science |

What makes a good survival knife? Chances are that if you ask 10 survivalists, you will get 10 different answers. The truth is that survival knives vary greatly depending on intended use and the situation you find yourself in. Knowing what to look for in great survival knives, as well as the qualities that make them stand above the competition are important to know.
1. Fixed Vs. Folded
Some prefer a fixed blade while other prefer a blade that folds into the handle. Both have their advantages and disadvantages. While a fixed blade offers a greater strength and durability, a fixed blade is easier to fold away and can be carried more easily. Typically, people use fixed blades for larger tasks, while they also carry a folded blade for small tasks that require a little more precision. So there you have it. When it comes to fixed or folded, bring both!
Oversimplifying it, a shorter blade will provide you a greater level of control and precision. A larger blade will allow you to more easily slice larger things. Typically, you will want to search for survival knives that are between 4 to 6 inches in length. As a final consideration, longer blades have a great deal more power. With every inch along the blade, you increase the amount of power and pressure able to be applied.
3. Straight Vs. Serrated
Is a straight, fine blade better than survival knives that are serrated? If you are attempting to cut through rope or anything sinuously, then consider a serrated blade. The problem is that serrated blades can be a challenge to sharpen, especially if you are out in the open. Typically, for survivals knives, some amount of straight-blade will be required. You will need to ensure that around half the knife at least is straight.
4. Sheath, Steel, & Edge Type
The only thing the sheath has to do is be comfortable to hold and effective at keeping a grip. Nylon, leather, plastic, and zytel have all been used to some effect in the past. Blade steel can also differ dramatically between knives. Blades made of 440, 1095, 5160, AUS8, Carbon, and 420HC. Finally, plain, and partially serrated are the most common types of edges.
If you have a knife that is nearly as good as a competitor but half the price, then it is smart to grab. While we don’t like to admit it, price can frequently make its way into our consideration when we get survival knives. While survival knives can range from a few bucks to an incredible 10,000+ dollars, price does not always mean quality. In the end, what you should be searching for first is the functionality you require.
Finding the right survival knives are all about listing your needs and doing some research. The more time you spend looking at competitors and what you need, the better the chances are that you will purchase the best possible survival knives. | weapons_science |
