Information about the wartime HMS Illustrious (R87)
The photograph of the Fleet Aircraft Carrier HMS Illustrious is from the collection of the late Mr Stanley Armstrong of Whitehaven, Cumberland (now Cumbria). It has been copied with the permission of his family. She was built by Vickers Armstrong at Barrow-in-Furness, Lancashire (now part of Cumbria). Work began on 5 July 1937 and launched just before the outbreak of WW2 on 5 April 1939, shortly before this photograph was taken. HMS Illustrious was commissioned on 25 May 1940.
For the first part of WW2, HMS Illustrious was mainly in the Mediterranean theatre, which included taking part in the Malta convoys and the Salerno landings of September 1943. In the latter part of the war, HMS Illustrious was assigned to the Eastern Fleet and Pacific Fleet. It was eventually sold for scrap in November 1956. Aircraft carriers were an important part of the fleet during WW2, providing aircraft that could provide air cover and airborne assaults on specific targets far from its home waters.

Rimfire rounds have the primer bead built-in to the casing.
The primer on centerfire ammunition is found in the center of the casings base.
Difference between rimfire and centerfire. Centerfire Ammo Primer strikes. Rimfire and centerfire are two categories of primer ignition systems for ammunition cartridges. In short with rimfire ammunition the firing pin hits the outer rim of the cartridge base in order to ignite the primer.
However the above is not the only difference. This primer is struck by the firing pin setting off the chain reaction resulting in a round being fired. Centerfire will have a small circle in the middle showing the location of the primer.
Riflescopes come in plenty of models and designs. With centerfire ammunition on the other hand the firing pin directly hits and ignites the center primer. The latter does that and more.
When comparing the two rimfire was the first cartridge that came to be used. Rimfire vs Centerfire Centerfire cartridge detonates when the firing pin hits the primer that is located at the centre of the base. The biggest difference to consider between center and rimfire is the manner in which their primer is ignited and where it is located at the base of a cartridge.
Rimfire cartridges are easier to manufacture compared to either of the two types of centerfire cartridge we briefly touched on earlier. The difference between a rimfire cartridge and a centerfire cartridge is the location of the primer on the head of the cartridge. Rimfire vs Centerfire The difference between Rimfire and Centerfire is that Rimfire ammunition rounds will contain the primer in the rim while Centerfire ammunition rounds will contain the primer in the center of the cartridge.
It is a separate self-contained piece of the ammunition. It is extremely reliable. This also means that rimfire rounds have lower recoil and a quiet pop which makes them approachable options for people just learning how to shoot.
So it is pretty obvious why each are name how it is named. This makes them easier to manufacture and because of this rimfire ammo is cheaper. Rimfire cartridges only need thin brass and do not require the metal primer cups found in centerfire cartridges.
The centerfire and rimfire cartridges show differences in many aspects such as their design firing range and power. Centerfire rounds come with a separate self-contained primer that only has one function. Whereas rimfire can only support smaller calibers centerfire ammunition can be fitted into all sizes.
Making it perfect for every situation from big game hunting to home defense. Rimfire ammo contains its primer in its rim while centerfire ammo contains its primer in the center of the cartridge. Still doesnt make sense.
The 22 Winchester Magnum Rimfire came along in 1959 too and now theres also 17 caliber rimfire rounds for shooting varmints and plinking. There will be far more potential misfire incidents using rimfire rounds than centerfire. This design difference makes centerfire rounds much more reliable.
The majority of Centerfire scopes are set to 150 yards while Rimfire scopes are often set at 75 yards. Centerfire ammunition is more powerful than Rimfire ammunition. Both centerfire and rimfire ammunition are types of primer-ignited cartridges.
A shooter or a hunter must know the facts that make a scope perfect for his rifle. With centerfire a center primer is struck while with rimfire the rim of the cartridge is struck. The firing pin in rimfire guns strikes the rim of the cartridge base to ignite a primer while in centerfire the firing pin strikes a center primer.
Rimfire and centrefire are both very well known scopes in the market. Want to know the difference between rimfire vs centerfire. However the exact settings can differ for both types depending on the brand of scope.
Primer-ignited cartridges fire when the firing pin of the firearm strikes the primer. The former is today limited to smaller rounds for marksmanship varminting and hunting small game. Rimfire Cartridges Tends to Be More Affordable.
Centerfire ammo can be supported by all sizes of firearms. The big difference between centerfire and rimfire ammo is the way in which the firing pin strikes the primer. Rimfire cartridges have the primer spun into the rim of the cartridge head while centerfire cartridges have the primer in a metal cup located inyou guessed itthe center.
The difference between Rimfire and centrefire scope and centrefire scope is a prominent factor to know before deciding on them. The primers are clearly visible on this set of centerfire ammunition. The main difference between Rimfire and Centerfire scopes is the parallax setting.
On the other hand rim cartridge detonates when it is hit by the firing pin on its edge. The rimfire cartridge has a design with the priming compound only on the rim and the firing pin. You can easily tell the difference between centerfire and rimfire by looking at the bottom of the casing.
Centerfire Scopes and the Adjustable Objective Lens. So those are the basics of rimfire vs centerfire. Centerfire rounds work on the same general principle as rimfire except the primer is independent from the case and press-fit into the rear of the round.
Centerfire and rimfire are cartridges used in guns. | weapons_science |

The Russian government said an explosion at an Arctic missile testing site killed five nuclear agency staff and involved radioactive isotopes after a nearby city on reported a spike in radiation levels.
Russia’s nuclear agency Rosatom said the accident on Thursday at a secret military facility also left three staff with burns and other serious injuries.
The military had not previously described the accident as involving nuclear fuel and said radiation levels were normal afterward.
But officials in the nearby city of Severodvinsk reported that radiation levels were briefly raised after the accident.
The accident occurred in the far northern Arkhangelsk region during testing of a liquid propellant jet engine. An explosion sparked a fire, killing two, the defence ministry said.
Rosatom (Russia’s nuclear agency) said its staff was providing engineering and technical support for the isotope power source of the engine being tested.
The authorities have released few details of the accident at the Nyonoksa test site on the White Sea, used for testing missiles deployed in nuclear submarines and ships since the Soviet era.
The defence ministry said six defence ministry employees and a developer were injured while two specialists died of their wounds.
It was not immediately clear whether the death toll reported by Rosatom included the fatalities announced earlier by the defence ministry.
Russian state news agencies quoted a defence ministry source as saying both defence ministry and Rosatom employees were killed. | weapons_science |

Moscow: Destroyed foreign arms depot in western Ukraine
Russia has said it had destroyed a depot of foreign arms near the city of Lviv, in a rare strike on western Ukraine.
“Air-launched high-precision long-range missiles near the city of Radekhiv in Lviv region destroyed a storage base with foreign-made weapons and ammunition delivered to the Kiev regime from Poland,” the defence ministry said in its daily briefing.

Ukraine President Zelenskyy: China must not help Russia
Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has told Australian university students that China must not help Russia in its offensive against his homeland and remain at least neutral
Zelenskyy addressed 21 Australian universities in an online discussion hosted by the Australian National University in Canberra.
Questioned by a student about China’s stance, Zelenskyy said he would prefer Beijing join countries including the United States and Australia that have condemned the Russian attacks that began in February
“As for now, China is balancing and indeed has neutrality and, I will be honest, this neutrality is better than China joining Russia,” Zelenskyy said
UN nuclear chief: Ukraine nuclear plant is 'out of control'
The UN nuclear chief has warned that Europe’s largest nuclear power plant in Ukraine “is completely out of control” and issued an urgent plea to Russia and Ukraine to quickly allow experts to visit the sprawling complex to stabilise the situation and avoid a nuclear accident
Rafael Grossi, director general of the International Atomic Energy Agency, said in an interview with The Associated Press that the situation is getting more perilous every day at the Zaporizhzhia plant in the southeastern city of Enerhodar
“Every principle of nuclear safety has been violated” at the plant, he said. “What is at stake is extremely serious and extremely grave and dangerous.”

— TRT World Now (@TRTWorldNow) August 3, 2022 Russia could use nuclear option against NATO's 'direct aggression'
The conflict in Ukraine does not warrant Russia's use of nuclear weapons, but Moscow could decide to use its nuclear arsenal in response to “direct aggression” by NATO countries over the conflict, Russia has said at the United Nations
At a nuclear nonproliferation conference, Russian diplomat Alexander Trofimov rejected “utterly unfounded, detached from reality and unacceptable speculations that Russia allegedly threatens to use nuclear weapons, particularly in Ukraine.”
Trofimov, a senior diplomat in the non-proliferation and arms control department of Russia's Foreign Ministry, said Moscow would only use nuclear weapons in response to weapons of mass destruction or a conventional weapons attack that threatened the existence of the Russian state
“None of these two hypothetical scenarios is relevant to the situation in Ukraine,” Trofimov told the UN conference to review the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons
US sanctions Putin's 'girlfriend', more oligarchs
The United States has blacklisted Russian President Vladimir Putin's purported girlfriend, Alina Kabaeva, a former Olympic gymnast, and the tycoon owner of the second-largest estate in London, Andrey Grigoryevich Guryev, in the latest round of sanctions over the assault on Ukraine
Also hit with US business bans were several other oligarchs believed to be close to Putin, four officials Russia has named to administer occupied territories in Ukraine, and around two dozen high technology institutes and companies, including key state-backed electronics entities
Viktor Filippovich Rashnikov, one of Russia's largest taxpayers, and two subsidiaries of his MMK, which is among the world's largest steel producers, also were hit with sanctions

Therefore, if this happens, everyone should be ready – that’s why everyone should have a kit for survival at home in a nuclear explosion.
What happens during a nuclear explosion
If you hit the epicentre of a nuclear strike, do not count on survival. A 1-megaton hydrogen bomb will create a massive crater at the site of the explosion. Within a 3-4 km radius, everything will turn to ashes and be destroyed.
With the explosion of a nuclear charge, the temperature at the epicentre will reach 500,000,000 ºС, evaporating everything. People who are 7-10 km away from it will disappear.
There will also be other unpleasant consequences that make survival from the use of nuclear weapons unlikely. Theoretically, surviving even close to the centre of a nuclear explosion would be possible. You will need a bomb shelter, which should be underground. However, when discussing atomic survival kits, we usually discuss survival after nuclear fallout.
The biggest threat to survival is radioactive fallout. Nuclear fission creates many types of radiation. None of these is “safe, ” but gamma rays and neutrons are the most problematic.
Gamma rays and neutrons are much more lethal than an actual nuclear explosion! Over time, they will kill more people, including those far beyond the explosion site.
In the event of a ground explosion, particles of the earth become radioactive and are ejected into the sky, forming a mushroom cloud. These radioactive particles eventually fall to the ground, hence the name precipitation.
A nuclear bomb exploding in the air is much worse than a ground explosion. It will not produce an ominous mushroom cloud, but radioactive particles will be released into the air. The wind carries them, and they fall to the ground in a much larger radius.
Consequences of radiation
Precipitation exposes us to radiation. This radiation causes changes in our cells at the chemical level, altering the DNA.
This can lead to problems such as:
- Nausea and vomiting
- Hair loss
- Congenital disorders in children
- Radiation sickness (leukemia)
Lethal doses of penetrating radiation:
3-4Gy – damage to the bone marrow within a month after irradiation; death is possible in 50% of those irradiated (without medical intervention).
Over 7 Gy (7000 mSv) (616 roentgens) is a highly severe form of acute radiation sickness.
Potassium iodide tablets
Potassium iodide is a salt. When taken, it floods the thyroid and prevents it from absorbing radioactive iodine. Therefore, potassium iodide tablets will protect you from thyroid cancer and other thyroid diseases due to precipitation.
But potassium iodide is not a magic pill against the effects of precipitation! It only protects the thyroid and will not cover the rest of the body from absorbing radiation.
It would help if you had potassium iodide tablets as part of your survival kit – don’t think you can take them and then walk through the radiation safely.
Protect yourself from the consequences
The most important thing to remember about surviving a nuclear fallout is not to run. Although it goes against our instinct, the amount of precipitation in the air is the highest immediately after a nuclear explosion.
If you immediately go on the run, you will expose yourself to high radiation levels that can quickly kill you.
On the contrary, if you seek asylum, you can avoid most of the consequences and remain safe.
It would help if you hid underground or in the centre of a tall building as deep as possible. The goal is to shelter from the effects of radiation with as much material as possible, made of concrete, brick, soil, etc. The material is a barrier through which the radioactive particles must pass.
How long does radioactive fallout last
Unfortunately, there is no good answer to the question of how long the fallout health threat will last. First of all, because there are not many studies on this topic. Second, the timing will vary depending on the size of the explosion and factors such as the weather.
In general, radiation will exist for many years but will not be the same as when a nuclear projectile explodes. The biggest threat occurs during the first two weeks. After two weeks, it will drop to about 1% of its original radiation level.
nuclear explosion Radiation Damage Radius
During testing, the explosion of a 15-megaton nuclear bomb caused radiation pollution 35 km upwind and 550 km downwind. This was during ground tests. An air burst would cause the fallout to cover a much larger radius.
Again, there is no exact way to calculate the radius of radiation contamination from a nuclear bomb. We cannot predict the bomb’s size or the wind’s direction and speed.
It may seem overkill, but the OPC will help protect you from radiation when it’s time to get outside.
What you need to know is to stay put as long as possible. When it’s necessary, or the authorities tell you to evacuate, get away from the blast zone and get out quickly!
It may seem like overkill, but consider purchasing a special protective suit. The Combined Arms Protective Suit (CHA) will help protect you from radiation when it’s time to get outside.
nuclear explosion Survival Checklist
Even if you’re not worried about surviving a nuclear attack, you should still have an emergency kit in case of hurricanes, earthquakes, power outages, and other disasters. Also, it would help if you had an emergency plan.
You can get the 72-Hour Emergency Preparedness Checklist here.
Nuclear blast survival kit items are specifically designed to protect you from radiation. Please don’t wait until it’s too late to prepare for the apocalypse.
- bottled water
- Non-perishable food
- Dedicated shelter
- emergency radio
- emergency heating
- emergency toilet
- Geiger counter (helps you know when it’s safe to evacuate )
- Change of clothes (in case of infection)
- Gloves – for working with any contaminated items.
- Sealed bags (for contaminated items)
- Soap and a way to cleanse yourself
- First aid kit
Survival nuclear explosion
- Build an underground survival shelter if you can.
- Set up a hiding place in your house or apartment’s basement or an inner room.
- If you can’t build a shelter, find out where the nearest bomb shelter is.
- If you are not at home
- Make a list of potential hideouts near your home, work, school, and other places you frequent.
- Don’t try to pick up your kids from school – that will only expose you and them to even more exposure.
- Cleanse the entire body (including ears and nose) with soap and water to remove contaminated particles. Do not use conditioner or skin creams, as these will bind to radioactive particles.
- Use the emergency radio to know when it’s safe to evacuate
- Do not leave your hideout under any circumstances for the first 24 hours.
- After 24 hours to 2 weeks, it should be safe to evacuate to a location upwind.

Saudi Arabia’s agent to the United Nations, Ambassador Dr. Abdulaziz container Mohamed Al-Wasel, has cautioned of the repercussions of “Iran’s atomic practices” and Israel’s non-promotion to the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons.
“The risk of atomic weapons spread undermines the Middle East and the world,” he said, focusing on the need to “face atomic expansion in the Middle East”.
Dr. Al-Wasel thought that Israel’s non-increase to the UN Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons “builds up the dangers of atomic multiplication”.
He further said that Iran’s practices upgrade the risks of atomic expansion, adding that freeing the Middle East of atomic weapons is an “aggregate liability”.
“Iran’s absence of straightforwardness with the IAEA abuses the UN Charter,” he said, focusing on the that “straightforwardness is essential for the quiet utilization of thermal power”.
The Saudi Envoy added that the Kingdom upholds extending the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty.
Last month, the Head of the Strategic Council for Foreign Policies in Iran, Kamal Kharazi, uncovered that his nation has the specialized capacities to fabricate an atomic bomb, however, focused on that there is no choice in Iran to make an atomic bomb.
The United States cautions that Iran will get the vital capacities to create an atomic bomb within a couple of months.
The organization of President Joe Biden stresses that it won’t permit Iran to procure an atomic weapon, while Israel takes steps to strike Iran’s atomic offices.
In the meantime, Gulf nations were cautious of the outcomes of Tehran obtaining an atomic bomb.
The Saudi Crown Prince, Mohammed receptacle Salman, has recently cautioned that “assuming that Iran fosters an atomic bomb, Saudi Arabia will do likewise quickly”. | weapons_science |

Kennedy and to understand their true meaning for the assassination. The five basic bullets and fragments, first analyzed in secret by the FBI in May 1964 and then in public by Vincent P. Guinn in September 1977, can potentially provide important information about the number and origin of bullets that hit Kennedy and Governor John B. Connally of Texas. While both sets of analyses appeared to divide the fragments into two physically meaningful groups that corresponded to two bullets, the body shot and the head shot, the FBI set was plagued by a serious systematic error and Guinn’s results from quarters of test bullets showed that the indicator element antimony varied enough over quarters to potentially invalidate the two-group interpretation by smearing the groups into one another. The contradiction can be removed by using the FBI results, which show that antimony is nearly homogeneous on the small scales of fragments, and by the actual mechanism by which jacketed bullets break when hitting bone, which generates tiny fragments from a single break near the middle of the lead core. Thus the fragments within each group were most likely produced near one another. The heterogeneities over quarters of cores then do not apply, and the two groups are as they appear. Once this is accepted, many other important pieces of the physical evidence fall into place and verify the original simple, straightforward picture of two and only two bullets from Lee Harvey Oswald’s rifle striking the two men. | weapons_science |

The term PCP air rifles refer to the kind of air rifles that tend to make use of the air tanks that are built in for the purpose of compressing the air.

Hiperfire - Hipertouch 24 Competition Trigger - HPT24C
Informeer een vriend
Hipertouch 24 Competition Trailer can be seen here:
The HIPERTOUCH 24C is the competition version of high precision fire-control drop-ins for installation in AR-15 and AR-10 type rifles. The HIPERTOUCH name is short for HIgh PERformance TOUCH, 24 for user adjustable trigger weights and C for competition marksmen like 3-Gunners. It installs and functions just like the HIPERTOUCH® 24 but with half the pre-travel and a faster reset.
HIPERTOUCH FCGs have uniquely solved two problems with stock AR triggers and AR trigger upgrades respectively: 1) High Trigger Weight, and 2) Low Hammer Fall Energy. Trigger Weight: The real culprit behind high trigger pull weight is high sear impingement force that produces high friction. To get around that, the stock "AR" trigger and hammer mechanical advantage was changed and the toggle spring feature added to reduce the impingement force on the trigger sear. Designers of two-stage products changed the functional location of the primary sear; HIPERFIRE's design has not, retaining the stock design's single-stage simplicity. This is important for when stock triggers are pulled, the hammer cam-action signals hammer fall is imminent. When 2-stage triggers are pulled, the final higher weight stage also signals hammer fall. This can lead to the flinching problem we all know about. Some like to say the better 2-stage triggers have glass rod or candy-cane like breaks to sell the idea that they don't signal hammer fall. In any case, the HIPERTOUCH 24E does not signal hammer fall because the trigger weight is constant over the entire stroke. Hammer Fall Energy: HIPERTOUCH features the unique toggle spring functionality that reduces trigger weight, but while doing so, it also increases hammer fall energy by over 35% over the MIL-spec stock design and every trigger upgrade in the market. This permits the shooter to ignite hard MIL and foreign primers as well as hard to ignite 22 rimfire ammunition

It is.
The Maschinengewehr 34, or MG34, was a German machine gun first issued in 1934, considered by many to be the first modern general-purpose machine gun. MG34 was used as the primary infantry machine gun during the WW2. It was intended that it would be replaced in infantry service by the related MG42.
The MG42, with minor modifications, is still the primary heavy machine gun of the modern German army, now called the MG3. A number of other armies around the world have adopted versions of the original, and guns looking similar, or identical, to the MG42 remain in widespread service today. The US Army's M-60 is based upon the MG42.
The German light machine gun during World War II was the MG-34, considered by many to be the best machine gun in the world at the time. It could be carried very easily by one man and could fire up to 900 rounds a minute. At best the Bren could only fire 520 a minute. The MG-34 was made in huge numbers after 1936, after Hitler decided to ignore the Treaty of Versailles. This was the treaty that.
Active divisions were equipped with licenced built Browning Automatic Rifles which were modified by FN as a squad light machine gun, and Maxim machine guns were issued to machine gun companies.

WW2 German engineers came up with the idea of mounting an artillery gun on top of a tank chassis. This new technology reduced the amount of resources required to deploy one artillery gun. Artillery self-propelled guns only needed a four or five man crew. They could also be made ready to fire more quickly.

If you know anything about knives buy it. Jul 06, 2009
By Kevin O'brien
ok a few things, first this is a full tang knife, and it comes with a fire starter. yes it comes blunter than a butter knife, and yes the rope grip is incredibly uncomfortable. BUT, the hilt has holes with makes re-wrapping the handle with some rope or para-cord very easy, once re-wrapped the handle is comfortable, also the steel is decent quality, so with a little sharpening the knife becomes very usable. bottom line 7$ and 10 minuets of your time and you have yourself a decent knife.

Great fire starter with free knife attached. Mar 21, 2010
By David H. Clark
Let me make a few assumptions if you are considering buying this knife. 1) You are not planning on buying a $200 Gerber. 2) You do not consider yourself a survivalist but you do DVR Man Vs Wild. 3) You're buying as a gift for someone who DVRs Man Vs Wild. 4) In all honesty the biggest thing you have ever needed a "survival" knife for while camping is to Rambo open a bag of chips.
This was my first full tang knife and I honestly bought it thinking I could do more with it than I really can. Once I stopped trying to baton trees down with it and used it for what it really is, its a good knife. It easily beats any similarly priced folder or multi-tool (and hollow handle piece of junk) for back woods functionality, and its a very educational knife. Its pretty much just a chunk of stainless steel, so as long as you dont beat it to death, nothing can go wrong with it.
You must sharpen it. You must do something with the handle. (I went on youtube and learned how to para-cord a handle.) Ive used it as a spearhead, for making tent pegs and splitting kindling. All in all its a good tool that you can keep on you without ever knowing its there until you need it, and its great for opening bags of chips.
The firesteel on the other hand is incredible! If you have never used one before you will love starting fires with it. Knowing you can make fire without matches or lighters gives you a warm fuzzy feeling.
So I recommend owning this knife for the experience of of owning this knife. Also, consider a Mora, or Cold Steel Bushman.

Midget Survival Knife May 16, 2010
By Serious Ed
First of all this knife is China stainless. The pseudo-paracord might as well be the yarn your grandmother knits with. You'll have to do a handle re-wrap. The blade comes dull and the sheath is cheap crap. It's a solid tang knife with a good feel once re-wrapped. The fire starter is really cool and works well.
**I've had this knife for a year now and it has done very well as a fishing knife on multiple excursions. It sharpens up with the "Smiths" pocket sharpener I have like a razor blade. Excellent for trout cleaning. The killer to this buy is the sheath. It's just pure junk. But for the price, I've learned to live with it.

A Nice Suprise May 12, 2010
I only really bought this survival knife for the firesteel. I just thought of the knife being a nice bonus, but it turned out to be a nice surprise. Larger than I thought, more comfortable than I thought (reviews here don't like the corded grip, however, I found it comfortable enough), and significantly better steel than I thought. Sharpens very well, seems to hold and edge, and because it's so cheap I "tested" it by cutting up several large cardboard boxes thoroughly and completely through a mop handle. Nice.
Firesteel is fantastic too. I'm going to re-sharpen it up a bit more and throw it in the glovebox or take it with me camping. It's the perfect thing to toss and forget about, until a day comes around where you might need it, or maybe REALLY need it, and it would become invaluable.
When I got it from Amazon it was in a plain white box with large letters, "HUNTING KNIFE", all over it which I thought was funny. An unrelated side note, for some reason the box it came in was completely unsealed, and worse it was a strange simple box that kind of just folded in on itself that could be opened very easily.

People need to get a grip Mar 10, 2012
I read reviews for this knife before buying it, and I was quite surprised at some reviews. I paid like 7 bucks for this, and I added a couple onto an order I already placed, so I didn't even pay shipping from Amazon. I think it is pretty awesome for the price. The fire starter is ok, the blade was somewhat sharp, and thick steel. Now I know that the sheath sucks, the cordage is crappy, and the thing is no Rambo knife. I have to go back to the fact it only cost 7 bucks! A sharpener and some 550 cord and you are set. What are all the brokenhearted reviews about? I have knives I paid 20-30 dollars for that are nowhere near as good as this thing. I have some very expensive knives that I am scared to really use because I don't want to damage them. Not the case here. I can pry things, throw it at a tree when I get bored, and use it for just about anything without worry, because it cost me 7 dollars. If I break it or lose it, I will just add another one onto my next Amazon order. So, if you are debating this knife because of reviews on here, let not your heart be troubled.

The draw length listed is the draw length that the bow is shipped in. If the bow uses modules to change the draw length it will be listed, however if the modules are not included you may have trouble finding those modules on your own. Bows that have a loop and post draw length system or a slot system can be adjusted with the aide of a bow press. Any archery proshop could adjust that for you or you could do it yourself with a portable press.|
|Peak Draw Weight|
|All the bows listed here give the peak draw weight. The peak draw weight is the maximum draw weight of that bow. The Maximum draw weight is achieved by screwing the limb bolts clockwise until the limb bottoms out or you cannot screw in the limb bolt any more. From that position you can safely turn the bow down 15lbs.|
|% Let Off|
Percentage of let off refers to the amount of holding weight at full draw. The higher the percentage of let off the less weight you will be holding at full draw.
For instance the holding weight for a 50lb peak draw weight bow would be:
- 25lbs at 50% let off
- 17.5lbs at 65% let off
- 10lbs at 80% let off
Keep in mind that it is easier for a finger shooter to consistently release the string with more poundage on the fingers. A release shooter needs not be concerned with the holding weight of a bow.
Brace height refers to the distance from the grip to the string.
Generally the shorter the brace height(6"- 8") the faster shooting the bow is. Generally the longer the brace height(8"-10") the easier it is not to hit your bow arm while shooting.
|The Bow Weight refers to the actual weight of the bow without accessories. Today's bows come as lite as 3.25 lbs. The average weight of bows that are being built today is around 4 lbs. The average weight of bows 5 years ago or older was around 5 to 5.5 lbs. The weight of a bow may be important to a hunter that wants to carry the least amount into the woods. A target or recreational shooter might want a little more weight for stability.|
|Axel to Axel|
|Axle to Axle length refers to the length of the bow measured at rest from one wheel axle to the other. Today, shorter bows are being built for hunting purposes. It is not uncommon to find many new bows to choose from in the 34" range or shorter for hunting. A hunter would find a short bow generally easier to maneuver in the woods and in a tree stand. A target or recreational archer would find no benefit to an extremely short bow. The Average length of bows today is roughly 38" for hunting bows and 39" and up for target bows. Not too long ago the average length of bows for all purposes was 40"- 45".|
|Basically there are three styles of bow risers, deflex, straight and reflex. A reflex riser would produce the lowest brace height and the fastest speeds and would be best suited for hunters and outdoor target archers. Deflex risers would produce the longer brace heights and lower speeds and would best be suited for indoor target archers. Straight risers are a compromise of the two other types and found on most bow designs. Beyond the style is the material the bows are made of and the process they are created with. Risers are either made out of wood, aluminum or aluminum/magnesium alloy. If they are a metal riser they can either be cast, forged or machined.|
|Bow limbs have been made from many materials over time but the most common are wood, fiberglass, and carbon or graphite. What is important about limbs is that since these are the hardest working parts of your bow, durability is important. About eight years ago most all limbs were made from a wood core covered with a fiberglass laminate both on the face and back of the limb. Up until that time the only good matched bow limbs were crafted that way. However since wood can conduct moisture for instance the moisture in a limb could freeze, It was possible for limbs to react differently in diverse weather conditions. This problem was eliminated with the creation of matched fiberglass and carbon limbs. The limbs conduct no moisture and are barely affected by any weather conditions. Their useful life is much greater than wood laminated limbs and tend to be much more predictable and consistent. |
For the purpose of simplifying the many degrees of wheel style we have categorized our used bows into 4 types; round, soft cam, hard cam, and one cam.
The Round Wheel - This wheel is the type found on bows that would be best used for recreational or indoor target shooting. They are the smoothest to draw with very gradual transitions from rest to peak weight and from peak weight to let off. They are however the slowest of the wheel designs and produce a slower arrow speed than any other wheel. They can come in any type of let off.
The Soft Cam - This wheel is found on most bows and produces a slightly harder pull relative to a round wheel design and faster arrow speeds. They can come in any type of let off.
The Hard Cam - This wheel is the fastest wheel design there is and produces the hardest pull along with sharp transitions from rest to peak weights and from peak to holding weights. They are generally used on hunting or outdoor target bows. They can come in any type of let off.
The One Cam - These are the newest wheel designs. They are generally quieter shooting than any two cam bow. They don't need to be timed like other two cam bows. They have sharp transitions from rest to peak weights and from peak weights to holding weights. They usually have a hard stop at the back end of the draw for a positive draw length. They are found on all types of bows from hunting to target. They can come in any type of let off.
|Compound bows use pulleys or wheels to load the limbs and produce a let off. These wheels are connected with a set of cables. These cables can be made of plastic coated steel, fast flight or other synthetic materials. We have categorized cables as either steel or synthetic to simplify the types. In general steel cables are more durable but a bit more noisy, costly, and harder to replace. Steel cables quite possibly could last the lifetime of the bow. Synthetic cables are cheaper, quieter, more easily adjustable for length and easier to replace. Synthetic cables do however need to be waxed like a bowstring to keep fraying down. Synthetic cables should generally be replaced every two years. | | weapons_science |

They are neither antelope nor goats as described by Lewis and Clark, but occupy their own unique branch on the tree of life. Their closest living relatives are the okapi and the giraffe. They are the second fastest land animal on earth and have the most efficient cardiovascular system of any mammal. They are ancient creatures that outlasted any predators that evolved to hunt them and are one of nature's true wonders. And when antelope are cared for and dressed properly, they are some of the most delicious wildlife around. So you will forgive me if I insist that they should not be hunted with an ordinary deer rifle. Instead, they deserve to be pursued with cartridges as interesting as they are. That said, here are the best antelope cartridges out there.
6mm Creedmoor: Advanced antelope cartridge
When I approached Hornady to do a Wildcat in 2007, right after6.5 CreedmoorWe agreed that the all-new 6.5mm version would make an excellent parent for a 6mm version. I imagined it like thisAdvanced cartridge for target shooting at 1,000 yardsand a powerful cartridge for predators and small to medium-sized game such as deer and antelope.
In all honesty, none of us saw the 6mm Creedmoor being so successful, but its benefits were too numerous to ignore - especially with the advent of thePrecision Rifle Series, where it was excellent.
I've used the 6 Creed for antelope since the beginning and I don't think there is a better cartridge as far as inherent accuracy and ballistics at range.
The choice of bullets is large. I had tremendous success in shootingBerger hybrids with 105 grainsat 2917 fps. That's a relatively mild load that's incredibly accurate and holds up well in the wind. Any of the heavy-for-caliber bullets of 103 grains or more are great for Pronghorns, and you can certainly fire the bullets faster than my load and get excellent results.

.257 Roberts: The Challenging Choice
The .257 Roberts was hot stuff when it was conceived by Ned Roberts in the 1920s. It is a weakened version of the original high-performance 7x57mm Mauser cartridge offered by Remington as a commercial cartridge in 1934. For the cartridges of the time, it offered an excellent balance of low recoil and flat trajectory.
At +P speeds, it's still not a slack.Hornadys 117-Korn-SSTkicks out of a 24-inch barrel at 2945 frames per second and hits a 200-yard zero elevation at 300 7.3 inches deep.
One of my favorite combos is the 110-grain Accubond loaded with RL-19 at around 2825 fps. It is extremely accurate and the bullet performs flawlessly. This has been my son's favorite antelope cartridge for years. A few years ago I watched him stalk a shallow drainage ditch in an alfalfa field to within 300 meters of a small herd of antelope. He jumped out of the ditch, knelt down, and promptly knocked over a handsome buck. Can't say I was surprised - that's what the bob does best.
.257 Weatherby: High-Plains Speedster
The quarter calibers are in many ways the ideal bullet diameter for antelope, and there is no cartridge quite as reminiscent of the far west as the .257 Weatherby. So it is only natural that it has earned a place among the best antelope cartridges. This is also my sneaky way of apologizing for not including the .25/06 on this list. While a worthy cartridge, we can only have a limited number of .25 rifles here and the middle child (in terms of muzzle velocity) is overlooked.
(Video) Best cartridge for any big game animal: My picks
I spent a lot of time staring at trajectory charts when I was young, firstly because I was fascinated by ballistics, and secondly because I couldn't actually afford a gun. Like countless other youngsters who dreamed of hunting in the West, my eyes kept falling on the .257 Weatherby, which seemed to have a magically flat trajectory.
No bullet demonstrates this better than the 80-grain Barnes TTSX. The bullet fires from the muzzle at 3,840 fps and has a height of just 2 inches at 100. At 500 yards, the bullet drops just 17.4 inches but still retains 1,123 ft-lb of energy. How can this not capture the imagination of an aspiring western hunter?

The truth is that wouldn't be my first choice for antelope - although I'm sure this bullet is responsible for many pronghorn. I'd rather go for something in the 100- to 115-grain class. Barnes makes a 100-grain TTSX, and the aforementioned 110-grain Accubond and 115-grain ballistic tip will get the job done as well. The muzzle velocities of these projectiles range from 3,400 to 3,600 fps, and the trajectories are flat enough for all but the most die-hard shooters.
6.5-284 Norma: The exotic antelope cartridge
There is something mysterious about the 6.5-284 Norma – mostly because the cartridge has a hard time figuring out what it wants to be when it grows up. It's unclear who first decided to tinker with the .284 Win. and downsized it to 6.5 mm (.264 in), but it wasn't long after the introduction of the .284 caliber in 1963 that wildcats started playing with it.
The Wildcat 6.5-284 Winchester (as it was first called) was originally a hunting cartridge, but eventually shooters discovered its excellent abilities as a long-range target cartridge. For many years it was the first choice in 1,000 yard benchrest events and was a dominant cartridge in several long range events such as F-Class and NRA High Power.
(Video) Top 5 Hunting Rifle Cartridges for New Hunters
Norma marketed the case in 1999, which was good timing for her given the explosive growth in distance shooting and hunting since then.
The 6.5-284 has a loyal following but will never achieve the same popularity as the 6.5 Creedmoor or the even newer 6.5 PRC. That's fine, because it's that exclusivity that put it on this list of the best antelope cartridges. While these other 6.5s are serviceable, they seem a bit ordinary compared to the 6.5-284.
The most distinctive feature of the 6.5-284 Norma is the use of a folding rim (which is shared by the mother cartridge). The idea is that one can use a standard, smaller bolt area while still maximizing case capacity for better performance. The two disadvantages of this concept are that the brass is more expensive to produce because turning down the case rim requires an additional machining operation, and that rebated rimmed cartridges can be more difficult to feed reliably.

Before the .284 Winchester, the most well-known cartridge with a rebated rim was the.425 Westley-Richards. Don't feel bad if you're not familiar with it. His comparison group was even more unclear. Among them were the 11.2×60 Schuler (the first folding rim cartridge), the 8.2×52 Austrian, the 10.75×63 Mauser, the 575 Miller & Greiss Magnum (perhaps the dumbest cartridge in history) and the 9.3 ×60 Peterlongo – all well-known names.
Today, in some short magazines and some large caliber AR rounds, we see a few isolated rimmed designs - .450 Bushmaster, .458 SoCom and .50 Beowulf. But the 6.5-284 Norma is the original of modern long-range big game cartridges. So if you are looking for an antelope cartridge that will stand out from the crowd, this is your choice.

.243 Winchester: The Classic
The .243 Winchester is the opposite of exotic, but there's no way it can be discounted from the list of best antelope cartridges, as it has more pronghorns than all the other cartridges here combined.
Despite being one of the most widespread (and effective) pedigree dogs out there, it does have an interesting and distinctive pedigree. The .243 Winchester is the .308 Winchester scaled down to 6mm. The champion of it wasFeld & BachShooting editor Warren Page, who had been toying with 6mm Wildcats since the mid-1940s. He and his colleagues wanted to develop a multi-purpose cartridge that would deliver the highest accuracy in the brand new sport of benchrest shooting and would work well for wildlife. After the .308 Winchester was introduced in 1952, Page jumped on it like a proverbial duck on a June bug and his wildcat picked up speed so quickly that Winchester introduced it as a factory cartridge in 1955. The rest, as they say, is history.

Pest shooters shiver with excitement as they engage the .243 Win. with lighter projectiles that can be fired at breakneck speeds, such asSierra's Blitzking with 70 grainsor Berger's 68-grain flat-bottom target bullet. But for antelope, the best bullets are in the 90-100 grain range. The 95-grain Nosler ballistic tip is hard to beat and can be loaded to speeds in excess of 3100 fps with the right powders.

However, there is no need to manually load the .243 win file. Because there are so many variations of factory ammunition – at least in normal times – that you shoot a different charge every season and never repeat yourself in the course of your life.

243 bullet is hauling 522 f-p more energy than the much heavier 30-30 slug. At 400 yards the puny, ineffective 243 is still packing more punch (1,077 f-p) than the 30-30 at 150-yards, what many consider “dead deer” distance for the famous 30-30.What caliber is good for pronghorn? ›

ELD-X. The ELD-X® bullet is a technologically advanced, match accurate, all-range hunting bullet featuring highest-in-class ballistic coefficients and consistent, controlled expansion at all practical hunting distances.
Hornady's Extremely Low Drag eXpanding or ELD-X bullets are designed to offer exceptional accuracy at very long ranges and they expand reliably at lower velocities than traditional hunting bullets, making them a top choice for long-range hunting.
The accuracy of these bullets offer you a great way to engage targets at extreme ranges. This is why the A-MAX is popular among varmint hunters who need long-range accuracy over rapid expansion. Some hunters swear by its performance on deer-sized game. (This link shows A-MAX performance on deer, but is very graphic.)What ammunition does the FBI recommend? ›

30-06 Springfield. By and large, most game in America is shot inside of 200 yards, and no cartridge is more capable than the . 30-06 for that use. This old warhorse is America's most popular hunting cartridge — hard to believe considering that it's well over 100 years old.What rifle caliber is the best all around? ›

That's the same type of gun used to kill 12 people and wound dozens more in a July movie theater massacre in Colorado. It was used again this month to kill two people in a Portland, Ore., mall shooting.
This trilogy of killing sprees has ignited yet another national debate over the sale of semi-automatic weapons, with the AR-15 assault rifle front and center this time.
To many Americans, the AR-15 is a mystery. But not to the gun community. It is well-known there for its lightweight, durability and accuracy as well as the ability to fire multiple high-velocity rounds quickly.
Modeled after the U.S. Army's M-16, the user needs only to pull the trigger to fire each round after the weapon automatically readies itself to fire again from a high capacity bullet clip.
The rifle is commonly used by the public at shooting ranges, in marksmanship competitions and for hunting.
Lanza, the Connecticut killer, got the high-powered rifle from his mother, who had legally purchased it for shooting range practice. He murdered his mother before going to Sandy Hook School, and killed himself at the scene as police arrived.
That information has raised questions about what a military-style assault weapon with high-capacity ammunity clips is doing in a private home, accessible to a troubled family member.
But the AR-15 rifle, and versions of it, can be found in many homes across America.
Jim Wallace, executive director of the Gun Owners' Action League, estimated that "nationwide there's anywhere from 5 to 10 million of that rifle in the hands of lawful citizens." | weapons_science |

14th Dan Shihan Mark Roemke uses a Bokken to demonstrate training drills to practice the distance and movement of strikes and blocks related to katana sword attacks. Moving to change the angle you use to face your opponent and stepping to alter your distance from the attacker are critical. This drill shows you how to safely practice some techniques to learn effective blocking and striking that can be useful for any katana martial art students. Use a shinai, bokken or foam practice sword to avoid injury during katana training.
Sensei Roemke is demonstrating sword techniques from the Machida Family Enbukan school in Japan where he trains, and also under Soke Hatsumi, Grandmaster of Bujinkan Budo Taijutsu.

In our collective unconscious the nuclear age is synonymous with the explosion of two atom bombs. Hiroshima and Nagasaki. But since 1945 it has been documented that more than 2,000 nuclear bombs have been detonated on Earth. Since the end of the Second World War, countries with nuclear powers methodically bombed their own lands.

The Walther P22's exterior design very closely resembles the Walther PK380, a .380 ACP caliber compact pistol, but is somewhat smaller. Magazine capacity is 10 rounds and is a single-stack design. There is a slide mounted, thumb operated, ambidextrous safety and an external hammer. The magazine release is of a different design than most semiautomatic pistols sold in the United States. Instead. With the Glock changing the game so many years ago, Walther has taken the ball and run with it. With my PPQ in the holster, there's never any question that I have one of the most reliable and.
The GLOCK 44 uses a simple-blowback action, which means the recoil is generated by the case being forced back by the expanding gas. In this system, the bolt isn't locked in place, but instead rests against the rim of the round. When the rim is struck, the powder ignites which increases the pressure, forcing the bullet down the barrel. This pressure also causes the case to obturate, or expand.

I know Glock's goal for the Glock 44 is to shoot everything reliably. But, in reality, .22 ammunition has a very large variation in performance. Glock tested the G44, firing more than 14 million rounds of more than 120 makes of ammo to make sure it could reliably shoot anything. So, reliability was also my focus. I fired 1,500 rounds using 18 different loads

The bunker was discovered Wednesday at the construction site of a guest house for the local military headquarters near the Thach Han River in the central Quang Tri Province.
The 590 pieces of ammunition of various kinds were found in a two-meter-deep excavated hole.
The ammunitions were subsequently moved to a central demolition site in the province’s Trieu Phong District and disposed of on Thursday by an Explosive Ordnance Disposal team from the RENEW project.
RENEW is a Vietnamese organization aiming to reduce the number of deaths and injuries from cluster bombs and other munitions remaining in the province after the end of the Vietnam War in 1975.
While the ammunitions still retained their fuses and explosives, they were deemed safe to be moved around.
Quang Tri Province was one of the main battlegrounds during the Vietnam War. It was the stage for the Battle of Quang Tri as part of the Tet Offensive in 1968 and the Second Battle of Quang Tri as part of the Easter Offensive in 1972.
Approximately 10,000 Vietnamese soldiers lost their lives in the two battles.
391,000 hectares of land in the province, accounting for 83.3 percent of its total area, were still infested with mines and other explosives from the war, according to official statistics. | weapons_science |

A few interesting points when buying weapons for hunting bunnies are clarified as follows.
You ought to pick the weapon dependent on your experience, age and size of your body. For you who have extraordinary point in your hunting, single fired shotgun may be the most ideal choice for you. This can hold each shell in turn and you can stack the weapon in an extremely brief time frame.

On 20 June, Belarus signed a contract with the Russian Irkut corporation to purchase 12 Su-30SM fighter jets for $600m. This would be the largest ever arms deal between Minsk and Moscow. Earlier in June, Minsk also received its first batch of T-72 tanks, which were modernised in Russia.
At first glance, Russia seems to be arming Minsk. This fits with conjectures that the Kremlin is becoming increasingly hawkish and Minsk and Moscow are colluding to put their regional and Western opponents under pressure.
However, a more scrupulous analysis of such arms deals, as well as the armaments the Belarusian army possesses, paints a different picture. Moscow refuses to bolster the steadily declining Belarusian military's capacity to conduct offensive operations, including joint large-scale operations with Russia.
Does the Kremlin really want to arm Belarus?
On 21 May, the head of Russia's Federal Service for Military Technical Cooperation, Dmitry Shugaev commented that 'Russia is interested in ensuring that the Belarusian army has modern equipment.'
Meanwhile, even Belvpo.com, a media outlet with probable (close) links to the Belarusian army, has repeatedly criticised Russia's policy regarding weapons for Minsk over the past several months.
One of the publication's authors, Valery Berazhnoi, recently lashed out at the Kremlin for refusing to supply Minsk with S-400 surface-to-air (SAM) systems and Iskander tactical ballistic missile systems. He noted that Russia had already given S-400s to China and Iskanders to Armenia.
For almost ten years, Belarusians were given promises [of receiving Iskanders]. Thus, in cooperation with the Chinese, the Belarusian defence industry created a fundamentally new type of weapon – the Palanez rocket system [because they could not get Iskanders].
These are harsh words coming from a publication which is neither oppositional nor nationalist, but produced by retired Belarusian army officers.
Their stance corresponds with that of the Belarusian government. On 7 October 2016, president Alexander Lukashenka criticised Russia's lack of willingness to supply weapons to Belarus during an assembly of the national parliament. In particular, he referred to the Iskander missile system: 'So it turns out that in order to protect you [Russia], I must … buy a gun from you? Is that normal?'
The facts also point to Moscow's reluctance to provide Minsk with arms. Lukashenka's and Putin's failure to boost Belarus's offensive military capacities becomes obvious after a brief analysis of which weapons the Belarusian army has received and decommissioned over the past several years.
Aircraft: Minsk pays
On 20 June, the Moscow-based business daily Vedomosti explained that Russian loans would be used to finance the forthcoming deliveries of Su-30. In order to make it easier for the Belarusian budget, the Russian manufacturer would deliver about four aircraft a year.
However, money still remains an issue. When asked about the deliveries, Belarusian defence minister Andrei Raukou simply told Tut.by that 'The contract specifies this with one line: as soon as funding starts.'
Tut.by also reports that the contract had been concluded directly, i.e., without the mediation of the Russian government. In other words, the Kremlin is in no haste to arm Minsk; Belarus must purchase arms like any other country.
This seems to be a pattern. Last October, Lukashenka revealed the conditions on which Minsk had bought the S-300 SAM systems to the Belarusian parliament: 'To my knowledge, we paid $170m, took the S-300s, repaired them, modernised them, and deployed them.' In other words, Minsk paid Russia even for second-hand S-300PS – despite the fact that the Kremlin could hardly have sold them at a decent price anywhere.
Helicopters and fighter jets for sale
The Belarusian army will not enlarge its air force by adding the new Su-30SMs to it. According to then deputy defence minister Ihar Latsyankou in February 2016, it will use the new jets to replace currently active MiG-29s, which Belarus inherited from Soviet times.
Minsk is already looking to sell its MiGs. On 29 June, the Russian military analysis blog BMPD, citing an anonymous Serbian source, reported that although Serbia has currently stopped negotiating the purchase of eight MiG-29s from Belarus, it could conclude the deal in 2018 or later.
A similar situation exists regarding combat helicopters. On 25 June, Russian military aviation blogger kloch4 published an abusive but noteworthy analysis of Minsk's plans to decommission its Mi-24 attack helicopters and sell them abroad.
After analysing numerous photographs of Belarusian army helicopters, he concluded that although Belarus had inherited more than seven dozen helicopters from the Soviet army:
…we can confirm a sharp weakening of the Mi-24 fleet in Belarus – there are only a dozen flying vehicles, some of them – the Mi-24 of non-attack modifications which cannot employ guided anti-tank weapons. The choppers of the latter kind have recently been returned to service, which indicates a certain armaments crisis … There were no attempts noticed to modernise the equipment in order to increase its combat capacities, including for night missions.
Its no wonder that on 10 June, the French daily Le Figaro quoted a UN Security Council document saying that the Mi-24 attack helicopters recently seen at airfields controlled by Libya's Tobruk-based government had been purchased from Belarus. The UAE had bought them for its Libyan allies. The Emirati government has been buying military equipment for its Libyan friends for some years: in 2014, it purchased four Mi-24V attack helicopter from Belarus for Libya. Le Figaro's report might indicate that there were further such deals.
The Belarusian army's attack helicopters are in even more dire straights than its fighter jets. Unlike fighter jets, which are partly being replaced by newer airplanes, Minsk has no such policy for its attack helicopters. It did not buy any new combat helicopters from Russia – only 18 Mi-17V5 transport helicopters. This is an odd choice for a country preparing for a clash with NATO.
Modernising Soviet armour once again
What's more, there are no new tanks coming from Russia to strengthen Minsk's military might either. On 2 June, the Belarusian army received its first batch of T-72B3 tanks from the Russian plant Uralvagonzavod. The T-72B3 model is the latest Russian modification (as of 2016) of the Soviet mass-produced T-72 tank.
As great as this might sound, this makes little difference for Belarus's offensive capacities. First, Minsk received only four tanks, even though the Belarusian defence ministry subsequently signed a contract with the Russian firm on modernising another batch of T-72s.
Secondly, the Russians are modernising Belarus's own T-72s. They are not providing new machines, not even T-90s, which have been deployed by the Russian army for many years already.
The same can also be said about other types of armoured vehicles. Thus, contrary to claims by some Russian military analysts, Minsk has abandoned its plans to buy new Russian BTR-82As, an armoured personnel carrier. What's more, for several years Belarus has been receiving lighter armoured vehicles of the Humvee-type not from Russia, but from China – and for free.
In sum, an analysis of Belarusian military hardware purchases and sales does not seem to indicate any preparation for large-scale operations involving Belarusian participation, such as a Russian invasion of the Suwalki gap to reach the Kaliningrad Province or indeed anything larger than counterinsurgency missions. Moreover, Belarus still retains its brigade-based army structure – which it adopted for smaller operations – while since 2014 Russian has been reestablishing larger units – divisions and even armies – suitable for fighting large-scale wars.
Is Minsk just out of money? Perhaps, but Russia is not demonstrating any willingness to boost the combat capacities of its Belarusian ally for such deployments by supplying it with appropriate weapons.
The only new equipment Belarus received from Moscow over the last five years was trainer jets and transport helicopters, with Tor-M2 SAM systems being the largest Russian contribution to Belarusian defence. And Minsk paid for them.
Thus, it is clear that if Russia has any plans for larger offensive operations, the Belarusian armed forces have no place in them.
Belarusian defence industries: doubling exports and launching ballistic missile production
On 20-22 May, Milex-2017, an exhibition of defence equipment, took place in Minsk. It featured the first Belarusian ballistic missile. This recent success was one of many for the Belarusian defence industry.
On 18 May, the Chairman of the State Military Industrial Committee of Belarus, Siarhei Hurulyou, announced that from 2011 to 2016 the defence enterprises supervised by his committee had almost doubled their export volume, earning about $1bn last year.
These two stories illustrate two different paths the Belarusian arms industry is taking. On one hand, they still earn a considerable portion of their money by cooperating with Russia. On the other, they are diversifying and developing products by working with China, Ukraine, Azerbaijan, and many other countries – even going so far as to annoy the Kremlin.
Russia both nervous and glad about the successes of Belarusian defence industries
In an article published in the May issue of the Russian Natsionalnaya Oborona defence review, Hurulyou admitted that 'export remains the main point of interest for balanced economic development of the [firms subordinated to the] State Military Industrial Committee.'
Speaking at Milex-2017 on 20 May, Hurulyou stressed that Russia remains Belarus's principal partner, 'which nevertheless is somewhat nervous and, well, maybe also glad about our successes.' He also mentioned China and South East Asian nations as other important partners.
Belarus could hardly have earned a $1bn last year without Russia's involvement. This is obvious given known deals, as well as those reported in the media in recent months. The largest deals which did not involve Russia are novelties for the industry: including deals on air defence equipment and related services with Vietnam, Myanmar, and Azerbaijan. For instance, an improved version of the Vostok-E radar, which once helped Iran intercept a US drone, has been developed together with Vietnam. Furthermore, Belarus sold the armoured vehicle Bars and the Belarusian-Ukrainian anti-tank missile Karakal to Turkmenistan. Minsk also made other minor deals such as selling Poland munition for $7.7m in 2015. Nevertheless, these deals alone cannot explain the dramatic growth in Belarusian defence export.
Deals on military aircraft and their servicing bring in much more money: the 558th Aircraft Repair Works in the city of Baranavichy conducts overhaul and modernisation of helicopters and aircraft. Last year, it signed a contract to overhaul twelve Su-25 aircraft for Kazakhstan. Concurrently, it is also completing the overhaul and modernisation of the second-hand Su-30K jets which Russia promised to Angola. The latter contract generates at least as much income as the deal with Kazakhstan.
Belarusian defence industries make the most money not by producing complete systems, but by making components for the systems manufactured by others, especially Russia. The most notable of these include chassis from the Minsk-based factory MZKT. The Russian tactical ballistic missile system Iskander, some S-400 surface-to-air missile systems' parts, and the mobile coastal defence missile systems Bastion, Bal-E, and Bereg all operate on MZKT-7930 chassis.
Belarusian sight devices are installed on various Russian anti-tank systems, including the T-90, T-72, and T-80 tanks and infantry fighting vehicles. Russian defence industries also use Belarusian fire control systems on various armoured vehicles. Likewise, Belarusian firms supply electronic warfare and some avionics; these are installed not only on modernised Su-27 but also on the most advanced Russian fighter aircraft Sukhoi PAK FA (T-50).
No wonder the Belarusian defence industries have succeeded in earning more money thanks to the massive modernisation of the Russian army in recent years, which also necessitated replacing certain Ukrainian components in Russian-manufactured equipment.
Missiles and armoured vehicles: How Belarusian are they?
Minsk, however, realises that these tailwinds can change, and is struggling to diversify. The most remarkable new products presented in the Milex-2017 included a new missile for Palanez and an armoured vehicle called Kaiman. Both of them were results of attempts to develop technological branches that had been either non-existent – like missiles systems – or underdeveloped, like armoured vehicles.
A mock-up of a tactical ballistic missile has attracted arguably the most media attention at the exhibition. It will make recently deployed Palanez Belarus-Chinese multiple-launch rocket system (MLRS) capable of delivering a conventional 560 kg payload as far as 300 km. Now, the Palanez shoots only at 200 km with much smaller rockets.
The Belarusian State Military Industrial Committee admits that the missile was designed under the framework of 'existing cooperation'. This formulation seemingly indicates collaboration with China. Experts at the Moscow-based Centre for Analysis of Strategies and Technologies dismiss it as a version of the Chinese missile M20. However, experts have suspected for years that Ukrainian firms may also be involved.
The Belarusian State Military Industrial Committee announced its plans to conduct initial shooting tests of the Belarusian ballistic missiles this autumn. The committee head boasted of 'having established a complete scientific, experimental, and manufacturing complex – from scratch – which enables Belarus to design […] and produce its own modern rocket and missile systems.'
Besides missiles, the Belarusian government has been striving to produce mechanised armoured vehicles in the country. The new combat reconnaissance/patrol vehicle Kayman became one of the most celebrated products at the Milex.
It was designed by the 140th Tank Repair Works based in the city of Barysau. The first models of Kayman were produced based on the Soviet BRDM-2, an armoured patrol car. However, the Works' head designer Volha Pyatrova insist that the final version of Kayman is an original product manufactured mostly from Belarusian components.
President Lukashenka ordered the design of such a vehicle three years ago. This month, Kayman was officially deployed in the Belarusian armed forces.
Does Minsk supply dysfunctional equipment?
Belarusian defence industries have so far succeeded in maintaining a certain degree of quality in their international cooperation. But on 17 May, the radical opposition web-site Belorusskii Partizan published material about allegedly dysfunctional military equipment supplied by Belarus to Azerbaijan in the early 2010s. Some Ukrainian components in the supplied systems reportedly were broken; furthermore, Belarusian firms perhaps paid Ukraine too much.
Numerous foreign media sources, such as the major Azerbaijani media outlet Haqqin, quoted the article. However, there is little evidence of the problems described by Belorusskii Partizan, which was the only source of information on the case. It claims to possess copies of documents proving the story but it has refused to publish them so far.
This is not the only unsubstantiated story about the Belarusian arms industries to circulate recently. On 26 April, the French bulletin Intelligence Online published an article accusing Lukashenka's government of continuing arms trade with the Syrian government. The bulletin based its story on a meeting between Belarusian Industry Minister Vitali Vouk and Syrian prime minister Imad Khamis. Official reports, however, do not indicate that they discussed military matters. Belarus has avoided supplying sensitive items to Damascus for years, and the 76-word story failed to provide any evidence that the opposite is now true.
Defence industries constitute an important branch of the Belarusian economy. They are dynamic, willing to introduce new products, and diversify markets and partners. Belarusian defence firms remain closely linked to Russia, but that does not mean they are dependent on it.
They are looking for autonomous ways to export their defence products. This certainly angers the Kremlin. Unsubstantiated stories which work to undermine cooperation with Ukraine and Azerbaijan are just more proof of this. | weapons_science |

Germany and the US have agreed to join France in sending armoured fighting vehicles to Ukraine - a move seen as a significant boost to its military's capability on the battlefield.
For months, Ukraine has been asking Western allies to supply tanks, and although these vehicles are less powerful, the decision to send them sets a new precedent.
Ukraine said it was a "great victory".
Germany has long hesitated over beefing up weapons deliveries to Kyiv.
After France's Emmanuel Macron announced on Wednesday that AMX-10 RC "light combat tanks" would be sent to Ukraine, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz and US President Joe Biden said later they too were sending armoured fighting vehicles. The US said on Friday they were part of a $3bn (£2.5bn) package of assistance.
The German leader had always emphasised that Berlin would not act alone, be it when it came to tanks or armoured fighting vehicles. The government in Berlin rejected reports that President Macron had bounced him into a decision, but some commentators in Berlin believe a taboo has been broken.
Until now, Western countries have stopped short of sending this kind of equipment, but Germany has taken part in swap deals under which Ukraine receives old Soviet tanks from Slovakia, the Czech Republic, Slovenia and Greece, which then receive more modern German equipment.
Providing Kyiv with Soviet tanks made sense as they required no extra training.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky expressed his thanks, and deputy foreign minister Andriy Melnyk said it was merely the first taboo that needed to be broken as Kyiv wanted combat aircraft, warships and more.
The $3bn US package is reported to include as many as 50 Bradley fighting vehicles. The Pentagon said the Bradley was not a tank, but a "tank killer".
The White House said it would take some time before they arrived in Ukraine. The funding is also expected to include self-propelled howitzers, mine-resistant vehicles and GMLRS precision rockets while $682m is be given to allies on Nato's Eastern flank.
Germany is sending around 40 Marder infantry fighting vehicles by the end of March as well as a Patriot anti-aircraft missile system. A government spokesman said training would take place in Germany over eight weeks.
Together, the three types of armoured fighting vehicle will give Ukrainian forces firepower, mobility and survivability, to get troops into front-line positions with speed and protection. That will enable them to react quickly to a dynamic, developing battlefield.
The French AMX-10 RC is similar to a tank in that it has a 105mm cannon, but unlike the French Leclerc tank, it runs on wheels rather than tracks. Specialist engineer Marc Chassillan told Le Monde newspaper it was a good all-terrain vehicle and a "perfect watchdog" alongside armoured personnel carriers and ground infantry.
The Bradley armoured unit will provide Ukraine's military with additional firepower. It has a Bushmaster 25mm cannon and can fire both explosive and armour-piercing rounds.
It can carry up to 10 people and the US Army has used it to carry troops around battlefields since the 1980s.
Pentagon spokesman Brig Gen Pat Ryder said it would support both offensive and defensive operations.
The Marder fighting vehicle has been used by the German army since the 1970s. It has a 20mm calibre cannon that can hit helicopters as well as tanks over a range of 1,500m (5,000ft). Although it dates back 50 years, the Marder has been repeatedly modernised and latest models enable soldiers to use the vehicle at night with thermal imaging cameras.
The German army is replacing its ageing stock with Puma infantry fighting vehicles, but still has some 370 Marders, although many need to be refurbished.
There was near-unanimous support for the German move, and the head of the Bundestag's defence committee, Marie-Agnes Strack-Zimmermann, said it was "very late, but not too late". She said she would not give up pushing for Leopard 2 tanks to be sent too: "After the Marder, it'll be the Leopard."
German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock made clear that Ukraine had to be given weapons "to free occupied areas and the people who are suffering under Russian terror".

- Safehaven Marine have taken an innovative approach to weapon deployment on the Barracuda.
- The innovative design of the vessel utilises various stealth technologies to produce a lower radar cross section
PBR go fishing for Barracuda to give us the low-down on Safehaven Marine’s new high-speed interceptor …
Safehaven Marine manufacture a range of highly successful pilot boats, patrol vessels, SAR craft and research catamarans, and ‘Barracuda’ – a 13m high-speed interceptor/patrol vessel for military and law enforcement applications – is the latest creation to emerge from their factory in Youghal, County Cork.
Established in 1997, Safehaven have grown within their niche markets and produced over 110 commercial vessels exported to over 14 countries worldwide. The Barracuda interceptor has been under development for two years and will be marketed to navies and law enforcement agencies around the world, alongside the company’s existing range of vessels. Its flexibility is key to the attraction of the Barracuda, whose typical operational roles will include patrol, surveillance and protection of harbour infrastructure and offshore installations, high-speed pursuit, and apprehension of transgressors engaged in illegal and threatening waterborne activities, as well as covert operations. An array of both lethal and non-lethal weapons can be carried aboard to enable even the most dangerous of tasks to be carried out successfully.
The vessel can be deployed by helicopter via its inbuilt lifting points on deck and transported easily by ship or road. Propulsion is either by conventional stern gear or water jets, and the craft is powered by a pair of 600hp diesel engines, enabling the nimble Barracuda to reach speeds of 40-plus knots when required – clearly an essential attribute in some of the scenarios the Barracuda is likely to be faced with. The larger aft deck allows launch and recovery of unmanned aerial vehicles and the deployment of additional pedestal-mounted weapons, while dive operations are enabled via a transom dive platform.
The innovative design of the vessel utilises various stealth technologies to produce a lower radar cross section (RCS), allowing it to operate with a greatly reduced degree of visibility to an adversary’s radar. The superstructure and hull design use flat-plane principles on surfaces in the craft’s forward projections to deflect radar beams away, which, together with its specialized construction and outfitting, combine to produce a vessel with a high level of stealth.
Safehaven Marine have taken an innovative approach to weapon deployment on the Barracuda. Various different types of both lethal and non-lethal weapons, including a remote control gyroscopically stabilised machine gun, can be fitted to the craft. The weapons are cleverly concealed below decks in the forward section of the superstructure, and are raised up to above deck level for deployment through large, watertight, carbon-fibre hatches built into the forward cabin’s roof section. In this way, when the vessel is engaged in surveillance or patrol, the weapons are lowered and concealed and the vessel’s RCS signature is reduced, but when the vessel is operating in pursuit or apprehend modes, the weapons are raised for deployment. Another advantage is that the vessel’s centre of gravity is kept as low as possible, which is extremely useful when operating in rough conditions.
The Barracuda can be produced at lengths of between 11 and 13 metres due to its variable geometry mould, and is constructed from advanced, lightweight, FRP-cored composites, with extensive use of carbon fibre in its outfitting. The hull’s wave-piercing design allows high speeds to be maintained in rough conditions, thereby increasing the crew’s endurance and providing exceptionally high levels of seakeeping abilities – very much as one would expect from a builder renowned for the seaworthiness of its pilot and rescue vessels. The spectacular photos of her during recent trials off Southern Ireland during ‘Storm Desmond’, which provided 60mph winds and 6m seas for Safehaven to test her seakeeping in severe weather, also bear testament to this. Indeed, the Barracuda is capable of operating in SAR roles, as the design, depending on specification, can be self-righting and able to operate with a high degree of survivability in extreme conditions.
The Barracuda is capable of carrying from 6 to 16 crew in a climate-controlled environment, all seated on high-tech shock mitigation seating, thereby dramatically reducing crew fatigue and impact injuries from operating at speed in rough conditions. Along with its range of high-tech navigation equipment, sonar and thermal/night vision surveillance cameras fitted to the vessel, and ballistic protection to level BR6 (7.62mm projectile), which can be incorporated to protect the crew compartment, the wide-ranging potential of this craft is plain to see. | weapons_science |

The new documentary relates the chilling chain of events surrounding the near-catastrophic explosion of a Titan-II nuclear missile in Damascus, Arkansas, in 1980. The film features the minute-by-minute accounts of Air Force personnel, weapon designers, and first responders who were on the scene that night and their feverish efforts to prevent the explosion of a warhead 600 times more powerful than the bomb that destroyed Hiroshima.

Classes include stretching, strength training, weight training, self-defense techniques, kata (set forms and prearranged fighting scenarios used to discipline the mind and body), partner exercises, and sparring. Goju Ryu is one of the few traditional styles of karate that is still practiced in its original form and taught strictly in accordance with Okinawan tradition. This martial art form builds both physical and mental strength. Goju Ryu is highly effective as a self-defense system as well as a close fighting technique used in real combat.
The Matayoshi Kobudo weapons system distinguishes itself from the other weapons courses due to its emphasis on a true fighting application and its rich traditional heritage. Kobudo uses an extensive array of weapons that include the Bo (staff), Sai, Tunfa (police baton), Nunchaku (nunchucks), Kama (sickles), Ueku (boat oar), and three-section staff.
Weapons training is a great added line of defense in extreme situations where any object can be used to your advantage. Kobudo is available to both adults and children and is taught in a safe controlled environment. Our weapons training courses will help develop dexterity, physical strength, mental focus, and above all a new found respect for ALL WEAPONS.
At our Okinawan martial arts academy, we actively promote both a moral and ethical code of conduct that approaches the way of bushido. | weapons_science |

You don’t want to become a statistic when you are out on the street at night. In this article, I’ll show you how to choose the right sights for your gun.
Before you decide which sights you need, you must first know what your gun is made for. This will help you determine which sights you will need. Glocks are primarily made for hunting and personal defense. If you intend to use your gun for any other purpose, you may need to buy a different type of sight.
There are two types of sights that you can choose from. The first is a cocking sight. It does not retract but merely needs to be cocked to aim. This type of sight is good for fast target acquisition because it is accurate and very simple to use.
If you intend to use your gun for self-defense, you will probably want to choose a non-cocking sight. This type of sight does not need to be cocked to aim. You will use this type of sight to do more of the aiming than just cocking the gun.
Another reason to use this type of sight is that it makes it easier to aim at moving targets and to see targets through the sights. In other words, you will be able to shoot more accurately when firing your gun at a moving target.
Night sights for Glock are also useful when you need to quickly aim at moving targets. When you are facing an attacker and you know they are going to try to get behind you, this type of sight is best because it will automatically raise the sights.
Since night sights for Glock are usually very small, there are a few things you should keep in mind when buying them. The first thing is that they must be adjustable. This is especially true if you intend to use them for a lot of self defense, especially if you are going to use it in your home.
Second, they should have an anti-bounce feature to keep them from being too long. You may think that they are more expensive than standard sights, but when you think about the safety features they offer, they are well worth the price.
If you are going to use night sights for glock exclusively in your home, you may want to check out the Genesis brand which offers the same anti-bounce feature as the Cocking Sights. They are also available in different lengths.
When you are trying to decide which night sights for glock you need, you should know what the normal range is. This way, you will be able to choose a site that will work for your gun, but will not be too long or too short. Keep in mind that the longer the sight, the longer it is likely to be.
Most sights are about 2.75 inches long. This length is perfect for both indoor and outdoor use.
So, now you know how to choose night sights for glock pistols. You will be well protected and most importantly, you will be able to enjoy your gun!
8 Best Glock 19 Sights Reviewed ( Nighttime and also Suppressor Sights )
Among the first goods that handgun owners choose to upgrade will be the sights. That is large because of OEM Glock sights lacking quality, although they possess certainly come quite a distance from the set sights of yesteryear.

Released this year 2010, Glock’s 4th generation type of pistols, dubbed Gen4 by Glock itself, offers been fulfilled with mixed outcomes. Some shooters swear they are just the highly long lasting weapon that previous generations have already been, while some claim reduced dependability, shootability, and actually looks (when you can think that).
Wherever the reality lies in this specific equation, it didn’t appear to decelerate their talk about of the marketplace.
Despite having the ever-raising slew of imitators out there, Glock still owns the marketplace, representing more than fifty percent of U.S. police agencies, a lot more than others mixed. The Glock 19 Gen4 is a typical duty weapon of the NYPD, and can be optional for LAPD officers.
With it becoming such a common and easily available pistol, the G19 includes a plethora of aftermarket add-ons available, often actually at major shops, so finding sights isn’t the issue-determining on which sights may be the hardest component.
1. Ameriglo Basic Tritium Series
These are the classic style of 3-dot combat sight popularized in the last couple of decades and put out on nearly every production autoloader hitting sales rooms today.
There is some dispute over whether or not 3-dots are the best sight system, but whatever the truth is in that matter, they are certainly the most prevalent, which is why they are #1 on this list.
Ameriglo has developed a reputation for providing a quality product at a very affordable price point, which is the first consideration all consumers are concerned with (whether they admit it or not).
The Ameriglo Classic Tritium makes the very best of the list due to its simpleness and commonality; whoever has certified with an M9 in the armed service, or offers every certified as an armed protection officer or LEO, has used 3-dot sights.
Firearms enthusiasts are often tinkerers and desire to see everything first-hands, so these shooters might choose something else even more elaborate, but a whole lot of individuals who bring for duty or actually self-defense aren’t enthusiasts. They simply want something dependable and familiar.
- Machined from bar share steel instead of thermomoulded polymer.
- Green tritium dots with white outlines; green tritium is usually for night use while the white outline is usually for daytime engagements.
- Direct OEM replacement requiring no modifications.
- Standard 3-dot configuration is usually familiar to almost all shooters.
- Basic setup will demand hardly any adjustment for shooters via various other firearms and brands of sights.
- Affordable with excellent testimonials.
- 3-dot sights are quickly getting replaced on fight handguns with I-Dot style sights that offer faster focus on acquisition.
- Limited options with regards to outlines and tritium.
- Back sights are set.
The Basic Tritium Glock 19 night sights aren’t tailored for just about any particular segment of the marketplace; they are basic, fixed OEM substitute units with no frills. This makes them an excellent compliment to the EDC, vehicle gun, or bedside gun where simpleness and reaction period always trump accuracy. | weapons_science |

Late 18th century Russian Imperial broad sword of the lower ranks of the Life-Guards Horse Heavy Cavalry (Cuirassier) Regiment.
This typer of weapon was in use between 1796 and 1810 from the time of Catherine the Great until well into the Napoleonic wars. The massive blade is double-edged and made of steel. There is an inscription “TO LIFE GUARDS HORSE REGIMENT” on one side and the weapon’s number “N 677” on another. Both sides are decorated with etched militaria symbolics. The hilt consists of a handle with eagle head pommel and a brass guard in the shape of the Russian Imperial eagle. The lower part of the guard has a ring for a finger. The wooden handle is covered with black leather and wrapped with twisted brass wire. The original wooden scabbard is leather covered and has steel fittings with T-shape cuts and four metal suspension rings. The sword is 1090 mm long, the blade is 920 mm long and 39 mm wide.
Cuirassiers were mounted heavy cavalry soldiers equipped with armour and firearms, first appearing in late 15th-century Europe. They were the successors of the medieval armoured knights. The term is derived from cuirass, the breastplate armour which they wore. Cuirassiers wore armour long after it had become of limited value in the face of the ever-increasing use of firearms. However, the extent of the armour worn was gradually decreased so that, by the end of the 18th century, it comprised only a breastplate (the cuirass or plastron), backplate (carapace), and helmet. Cuirassiers were generally the senior branch of the mounted arm, retaining their status as heavy cavalry—”big men on big horses”. | weapons_science |

To that end the TDI is designed around compatibility with gross motor skills. Blade Length: 3.5. Steel: M390 or N690. Style: Spear point. Grind: Flat. Handle: G-10. Sheath: Leather. Made in: USA.

It’s always fun shooting that new buy right out of the box and I’d never be down on anyone for it…but something about the one you built yourself, you get the same thrill plus the satisfaction of knowing you made a tack-driver that runs like hell. Attention Savage MSR 15 Valkyrie and MSR 15 Recon LRP Owners: We've heard from many of you who are thrilled with the performance of your MSR and the ground-breaking 224 Valkyrie ammo. Posted: 7/16/2017 6:18:38 AM EDT I have the Savage Recon and like I said no problems the trigger on mine seems real nice . Also available in 6.5 Creedmoor and .338 Federal. Your email address will not be published. I’m shocked at how rusty the bolts are on your Caldwell Stinger rest. Perfect with every round tested from a gummed-up and poorly-maintained rifle. The sights can be activated by pushing down on the levers or by depressing the release latches. Since the reviewer didn’t provide any information on what ammo he shot out of the Savage I’m going to take a wild guess and say he was firing Fusion 55grn .223 Rem. Because of the high velocity of the round, with a 200 meter zero, no target would be more than 3 mils of elevation adjustment out to 600 meters. For those of you who read my reviews, you know I look for reasons for a gun to get knocked out of that category. I picked up an addition 100 rounds, shooting a total of 420 rounds for the review. But we’re still seeing its shockwaves ripple through the firearms industry.

Overall Length (in)/(cm): 36.5 – 39 / 92.7 I went 4 for 6 and my problem is the same as always. You’re not going to get any sub MOA shots out of this rifle with that light of a bullet grain. Even if all I am is an extra set of hands, I try to learn something and just be there to help. My LGS installed the barrel for free. Still, even at the low number, that’s a good amount of barrel life and, since it’s an AR, a barrel swap is extremely simple. The heaviest round — the Federal Premium 90gr soft point moving at over 2,600fps — matched the American Eagle round at 7/8″, but at roughly double the price per round. Most I’ve seen show 1/2 inch and sometimes tighter groups at 100 yards. I think for a lot of people, it’s all about desire.

By the time I got to the bench I had a good idea of how the MSR-15 Valkyrie would perform. Fix the trigger and you’d have a great gun. I’m beginning to think manufacturers in the AR platform market should have a “triggerless” option for $100 less than whatever crappy trigger they normally include. In schools the trades are frowned upon (apparently so are math, history, economics, science and most other useful bits of knowledge). $100 less? Savage MSR-15 Valkyrie’s collapsible Magpul UBR buttstock (image courtesy JWT for thetruthaboutguns.com). All fair points but I think the reason for the market being as it you are seeing it today is that the vast majority of people won’t/don’t build a rifle because they have no idea how, don’t know how to find out, and probably don’t want to be bothered. Savage has done this. We have a 24 hour cooling off period in Illinois on rifles. silencer.

I had to wait about 10 days for it to come is, as they didn’t have any when I went to buy one; that was March 26th. Savage shipped the gun dirty, and considering how gummed-up it was, I have to assume it had sat unfired for quite some time. From the article “Savage’s own two-stage trigger used on this rifle is as good as many of the aftermarket triggers available.”. Barrel Length: 16.125 inches, 1:8 twist Their “AccuTrigger” is such a selling point that they bring a gigantic functioning model of it to every trade show they attend.

Only, I’ve never built an AR or, really done even the most minor gunsmithing. furniture and silencers, Federal Premium ammo, Hoppe’s cleaning supplies and more.

Well I paid $849 + tax for my MSR-15 Recon, and got that price before this article was even written, on April 06, 2017. This one could change my mind. The trigger is just fine on this. Sorry your such a shitty shot and your groups weren’t better. You’ll need to use a hex key. I’ve always been a fan of Savage rifles. The MSR 15 Recon comes standard with upgrades serious shooters demand, ... eh, so-so. It performed flawlessly. Oh no !! I assume are asking me, the author. It’s smooth and even throughout. $1,000???? There are no obvious tool marks and the FDE Cerakote job is smooth and even throughout. Sure, there are plenty of other parts on an AR that could be replaced with aftermarket, but none of them are as important as a decent trigger. The Savage Model 212 and 220 bolt-action shotguns stand out in a world filled with cookie-cutter turkey guns. Savage has made one heck of a gun in a great caliber. It turns out, they mean you can drill the holes out larger if you want to.

A couple of minutes clicking around on Youtube and watching CMMG’s great video on assembling a LPK though and I did it no problem. The rusty bolts and rusty larger threaded adjustables made me wonder if Caldwell has screwed the pooch on quality fasteners. What’s up with that? I was actually surprised to find the ammo pretty easy to come by, both in my local gun stores and online. The higher the grain the better in a Wylde chambered AR, especially with the 5R rifling that Savage put into the barrel. Case in point: the Savage MSR or “Modern Savage Rifle” series: four models of semi-automatic firearms based on the AR-15 design. The real show-off is the cartridge’s ability to load 25 rounds of 90gr .224 diameter rounds and push them over 2,600fps. Savage provided 320 .224 Valkyrie rounds of ammunition for the review. Needless to say, this has a negative effect on accuracy. Brownells currently sells the rifle for much, much less. This gun is available for under $800 in multiple locations. From there he went to his gunsmith and had him mount one of his Nightforce scopes on it and bore sight it. So I slapped on the standard 3-9x scope I use for firearms testing and hit the range. I absolutely agree, if you are only going to have one, either buy a whole upper or a whole gun. It put five shots into a .57-inch group at 100 yards. (Also, stop cleaning your barrel so much and be careful how you do it. I was not disappointed. I am mechanically inclined, have an abundance of tools which allow me to work on and/or fix just about anything I care to work on. Savage MSR 15 Recon Snapshot: Savage is aggressively charging into the AR market with its line of MSRs (Modern Savage Rifle), with four already released and more on the horizon. This is one of the very few guns I wouldn’t bother reloading for. It makes the Savage MSR light yet provides more accuracy than a featherweight profile barrel. They’d rather pay more for something that works out of the box. Weight: (lb)/(kg) 7.88 / 3.57 If you are shooting an AR-15 in .5.56 NATO in an un-suppressed “direct impingement” rifle and sticking to the standard NATO offerings of that caliber, an adjustable gas block won’t do you a whole lot of good. Hes just making stuff up, like he always does. I can easily see this being a multi-part article or even a yearly update. Moving from super accurate budget bolt guns to [typically] less accurate semi-auto platform is something of a leap. (Oh, and we’re both millennials, which might be why they said such things.). Haven’t done any long range shooting yet, so I cannot attest to the grouping written in the article. How much do you want to bet that she called Code Enforcement thinking “I’ll show those stupid kids” just because she thought we were stupid for doing it? People constantly talk about how easy it is, that AR’s are Legos for adults but forget that we now live in a society where most people couldn’t change their own oil if their life depended on it. Aggressively priced, plenty of features (on paper), and consistently glowing reviews. At no point after did I lube, disassemble, or otherwise provide any maintenance to the rifle whatsoever. But I didn’t think I’d be impressed with another AR-15 platform rifle. That’s what you pay poor people to do…and that right there is the wrong attitude that is affecting a lot of the country. Now that the craze/fad is over, I bet I could’ve built it even cheaper. The $1,500 MSRP proves that good things come with a price. The downside is that many shooters, like me, use that texture and shape to muscle the gun into position, instead of getting proper body alignment in the first place. I can count on one hand the number of ARs I've tested that posted a group better than that, and all of them cost more than twice the Recon. Again, the fact that a company which prides itself on trigger perfection missed the mark so spectacularly on their new-to-the-market MSR has me thoroughly confused. Savage MSR-15 Valkyrie Hogue pistol grip (image courtesy JWT for thetruthaboutguns.com). Caliber: .223/5.56 (.223 Wylde chamber) (Photo: Scott Mayer) For testing, I fitted the Recon with a Bushnell Trophy Xtreme 4-16x44mm scope and fired Black Hills 60-grain V-Max, Federal 62-grain Fusion MSR and SIG 77-grain OTM loads at 100 yards. ... this wont be a problem… Personally I find it somewhat distressing but off the top of my head I can think of a dozen people I know that own an AR and would be puzzled if you handed them a ratchet and a socket for it, nevermind wanted them to put the socket on the ratchet and do something with it. The Savage isn’t a bad carbine but the trigger is an issue – like 90% of all AR’s in this price range. I would take the opinion of the old guy behind the counter at wal mart before I would take his 100 out of 100 times. Aside from finding the parts you want- ie: 223Wylde chamber on a 16″ 1:8 twist barrel- at the price your budget allows(admittedly a very low budget)the hardest part is being patient and diligent about looking for deals. Our MSR 15 Recon comes standard with upgrades serious shooters demand, including a nickel-boron coated trigger, free-float handguard and upgraded Savage barrel. Rate of Twist: 1 in 7″ Anyway you could be enticed to do one on the Rock Island Armory .380 “baby rock” 1911? Also, it shows some ignorance on your neighbor’s part. Otherwise it’s a damn fine AR straight out of the box, for under $1k. Savage went with a 1:8 twist rate rifling profile which is great for stabilizing a broad range of projectiles, from heavier 75gr slugs to lighter 55gr pills. And he’s exaggerating about the trigger. The free float handguard is small in diameter; large enough to clear the gas block, but small enough to get a full grip around the handguard. It’s much better than most stock AR triggers easily. Weight: 7 lbs A good shooter can adjust to almost any trigger. Admittedly, prices in the wild will likely be more competitive. In fact, the Magpul PMAG is only thing that isn’t made by a Vista family. His lack of knowledge of firearms and laws is scary. Most skilled tradesman earn as much or more than many college-educated folks. There’s more than a little difference in the gas requirements needed to make the rifle cycle between a 60 grain unsuppressed round and a suppressed 90 grainer. I could basically build this exact rifle with a better trigger for around $800, which leaves a lot of cash left over for ammo. Thoughts on Savage MSR 15? Required fields are marked *. The.223 Wylde chamber cut combines the best parts of .223 Remington and 5.56 NATO. The only special tools needed are for the upper, every thing else is pretty much tool free, though it saves a lot of frustration to get a tool to help install the front take down pin detent. Yet somehow I haven’t seen a single one in the wild anywhere. The MSR 10 Long Range More AR fans are looking for rifles that can be used for extended-range precision shooting without being overly heavy. Using a standard profile barrel is a smart move.

Athlon Outdoors contributor Mike Detty is back to give us his take on the Savage MSR 15 Recon AR rifle. I am by no means mechanically inclined but I always like learning how things work. Groups were shot with the scope on 14X magnification. Unlike many others, this stock has zero wobble, and maintained a tight fit throughout the review. Is the trigger single or two stage? On the AR-15 platform, the new MSR 15 Recon and MSR 15 Patrol are chambered in 223 Wylde, which enhances out-of-the-box accuracy and allows safe, reliable … ”, All other reviews: “I have used this gun extensively, with over 100 rounds down the pipe.”. Of course, that depends on the quality of the barrel and how hard you’re pushing the rounds through it. As is, it’s okay. Of course, I could just move the rings up a notch or two on the Picatinny rail and problem solved. The MSR’s muzzle brake is big and very effective at turning recoil into lots of blast and noise. ©COPYRIGHT 2020, THETRUTHABOUTGUNS.COM ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. All our white neighbors thought it was stupid. Style and Appearance * * * * I also note, that while you’re correct about YouTube and online research in general, your average person has basically zero capacity to research anything.

With the MSR-15 Valkyrie, Savage turned their Recon package into a competition-ready, hunt-ready shooter with a fascinating cartridge, the .224 Valkyrie. According to Savage, this is a “tunable” muzzle brake. It’s an AR. This has been tested and proven as a sub MOA rifle with the 5R rifling they incorporate. So a couple points that make me question his experience with accuracy. Left to right: 55gr 5.56 NATO, 90gr 6.8 SPC, 90gr .224 Valkyrie (image courtesy JWT for thetruthaboutguns.com).

Savage MSR 15 Recon While Savage Arms is known for its accurate bolt-action rifles, the company has finally decided to enter the AR arena with four high-end models, including the MSR 15 Recon. One of the things to check for with this problem is proper Gas Block Adjustment. The trigger is first rate. Although it is exposed at the front end of the handguard, it’s a little too tight to hand adjust. Offered in .224 Valkyrie, .22 Nosler, and 6.8 SPC, Savage's new MSR 15 Recon LRP rifles are designed to stretch the platform's performance envelope. Pressing the trigger slowly and smoothly revealed more stuttering than the first act of The King’s Speech. If you want to go with store-bought — and as you’ll see later, there’s no reason you shouldn’t on this gun — you can find several different loads at inexpensive prices. Neither did I. Savage MSR-15 Valkyrie barrel (image courtesy JWT for thetruthaboutguns.com). Felt recoil is mild, as you would expect, and you can adjust the rifle to reduce muzzle movement and enable you to spot shots. This is just my personal opinion, and I have no issues with other folks buying them, just saying that this is the price range where the do it yourselfer really starts to get the edge. Once you start buying tools it’s not going to be cheaper. The Valkyrie is based on their Recon model, and I was not particularly impressed with that rifle’s trigger. Some are more expensive and some are much less – it all depends on what I want. Shooting from a Caldwell Stinger shooting rest at 100 yards, the lightest round — the Federal Premium 60gr Nosler Ballistic Tip — scored the best, printing 3/4″ five-round groups. I hate muzzle brakes on all guns save the magnum calibers on ultralight rifles. The MSR’s stock is Magpul’s Gen2 UBR. The Savage adjustable gas block works exactly as it should. Your email address will not be published. Long before many of us ever heard the term “C-clamp” referring to a grip style, service members were holding their M4s like this, since that was the easy way to manipulate our IR laser/illuminator mounted to the top rail of our rifles. There was nothing resembling a clean break. I had no issues dialing it to just keep the bolt locked back on an empty magazine with the 60 grain rounds, or doing the same with the 90 grain bullets. I would much prefer a “big boy” latch, as this small handle gets in the way of scope rings. Oxidation happens. The Savage MSR 15 Long Range proved to be a smooth shooter. The only problem is you need a rational argument for how most other people could afford it or why they should save up for it. While not a brand-new gun, I was able to get my hands on one of Savage’s newer rifles, the MSR-10 Hunter chambered in .308 Win. Update: my friend called me today, he bought the Savage MSR 15 Recon last Thursday morning and picked it up Friday morning. One lady even said to me “Ugh, that’s the kind of work you pay poor people to do” before she walked off (which was really rather pathetic since she wasn’t exactly living high off the hog herself). Overstuffed Magpul 5.56 NATO mags bulged, just like they do with regular 6.8SPC cases, and were difficult to insert, but dropped freely once they were empty. But if you’re shooting projectiles from 60 to 90 grains, shooting suppressed, or if keeping the rifle as still as possible during the recoil cycle is important, an adjustable gas block is a big help. Just received my first AR-15, the Savage MSR 15 Recon and have 3 questions that I hope somebody can help with. It’s still very much the grip I prefer when shooting on the move, as it allows for easy access to accessories, as well as a fast start and stop of the gun. The standard charging handle is the only thing that might have done it, but then it would be a 4.9 star review, and that’s just petty. When the AR glut started I bought a stag arms with an MSRP of 1200 for 800. Just sayin’. May you live on indefinitely! I think you’re right. Like the rest of the guns in this section, we tested the Savage MSR 15 RECON 2.0 at 50 yards with a non-magnifying red-dot optic (Leupold Freedom RDS). On the outside the Recon shows promise. Despite that trigger, though, the Savage MSR is a solid competitor for the “Recon” market in this price range. Their Savage MSR bolsters sales from other brands within the Vista ecosystem: Bushnell scopes, BLACKHAWK! Reliability * * * * * The Savage MSR-15 also comes with an adjustable gas system on a mid-length gas tube. Gas System: Mid-Length adjustable “Uneducated, uninformed, ill prepared and uninterested” describes a great number of people in this country at this point. On this gun, Savage opted for a mid-length gas system. I noticed that the handguard's rail is not perfectly aligned with the receiver's rail. The birdcage flash hider makes sense — it’s a good “default” muzzle device and easily forgotten once you get your direct thread BLACKHAWK! Very good review Mr. Taylor. It gives the shooter plenty of room for a good cheek-stock weld, and the adjustable length of pull is stepped enough to give plenty of options. In fact, the Valkyrie “loses a lot between 18 and 20 inches of barrel length,” Gilliland added. It must be the 1.0 version since it doesn’t have the Blackhawk furniture. Even so, I hope that this reviews about it Savage Msr Recon Stripped Lower Receiver Review And Smith Wesson Ar 15 Complete Lower Receiver will always be useful.

Many don’t charge much for AR-work because it’s so simple and quick. Savage Arms MSR-15 Valkyrie trigger group (image courtesy JWT for thetruthaboutguns.com). With the velocity loss, what bullet weight range is best for defense purpose? Unlike many companies, Savage chose to mix their furniture up a bit, with a Magpul stock and a Hogue grip. Several competitors used this cartridge with solid results. Fix the trigger and the rifle would be one of the more accurate offerings in this price range. There are some minor style embellishments in the lower receiver. Heck, if I were to walk out the door with any one gun, it’d be my very well-proven 1950’s era Savage in .30-06. Of course the wrench isn’t that expensive anyway. Those crappy triggers probably cost them $15. Wow, I haven’t been tempted to buy an off the shelf AR in a long time. That doesn’t seem right. Just might dump my .22-250 bolt gun for this. Those of you familiar with the long-time King of the Varmints, the .22-250 Remington, should recognize that 60 grain load. All I know is I got a great rifle that is ready to shoot right out of the box with all the upgrades I want and a great trigger. Starting from a low kneel, weapon on safe and low, I gave myself 6 seconds to shoot 6 roughly 1-inch targets, left-to-right and top-to-bottom, at 100 yards. However, if you have seen performance issues, we encourage you to refrain from using the 224 Valkyrie Sierra 90-grain MatchKing rounds at this time per the announcement from Federal Premium (link below).

Page / 2 Next Page. The MSR 15 RECON 2.0 ships with one 30-round Magpul PMAG Gen2 M2 magazine, weighs 7.3 pounds empty, and has and extended length of 36.75 inches. Savage’s own two-stage trigger used on this rifle is as good as many of the aftermarket triggers available. If we stick to the lighter 60-ish grain bullets, you’ll see a 300+ fps advantage over the 5.56 NATO in the same gun. Overall * * * * The lower receiver features an integrated triggerguard and some interesting sculpting on the magazine well. Has Savage alleviated the issues with the .224 Valk MSRs blowing primers? Magazine Capacity: 25 rounds (one supplied) But the street price is far more affordable. I love mine. Personally, I’ll keep building my own the way I like them.

These will be supported with a full line of small, medium and large Entropic Disintegrators as well as Entropic Radiation Sinks to upgrade their damage and rate of fire. New ‘Precursor’ skills will be required to make use of this hardware, and those skills can also be found in Abyssal Deadspace.
So things to find in Abyssal space:
– ship blueprints (frigate, cruiser, and battleship)
– entropic disintigrators blueprints (light, heavy, and “Supratidal”)
– entropic radiation sink blueprints
The prereqs for the skillbooks do not look too intense on Singularity right now and I believe that will carry over to Tranquility.
In the dev blog they talk a bit about the weapons:
On release, the maximum charge amount will be 150% or 2.5x the base damage on the turret. To get an idea of what that means, the Leshak Battleship will easily push out over 2500 DPS at full charge. The time it takes to reach full charge will vary, but you can expect a time around 80 seconds for the Frigate, 120 seconds for the Cruiser, and 140 seconds for the Battleship thanks to its rate of fire bonus.
This massive damage potential is balanced by the fact that weapon deactivation, for any reason, resets damage to the base amount. Deactivation could happen because of direct disruption, such as ECM, but range also plays a huge role. Unlike other turrets, Entropic Disintegrators have no falloff range and they deactivate immediately if the target leaves optimal. Range control will be critical when dealing with Triglavians, whether you’re the pilot or the opponent.
The last must-know for Disintegrators is that they only use one turret hardpoint. Consequently, Triglavian ships enjoy several utility high slots which can be used for a range of purposes. You will see NPC Triglavians favoring remote armor repair, but players may choose energy warfare, smartbombs, or exploration equipment.
And at the end of the blog:
We expect Triglavian ships to be especially powerful in environments where targets go down slowly. This includes small gang, Factional Warfare, and especially wormhole engagements. We also expect to be surprised with player innovation, as always, and to make sure those surprises don’t get out of hand, we’ve already set aside time to make follow-up balance adjustments shortly after release.
Looking even further down the line, we intend to flesh out the Precursor skillset with more ships and weapons that push the boundaries in EVE combat. We hope Triglavians set the stage for what’s possible going forward and we hope you enjoy these powerful new options in the capsuleer arsenal.
I can definitely see value for these ships and weapons in small gangs coming up against a target with a big tank; hold them for a couple minutes until the entropic disintigrator hits full charge and then begins to melt them. But we will have to wait and see if the ship has the survivability, mobility, and utility to make the wait for the weapon worth it.
Diving into the abyss in 3 days!

Ought to every nation have the right to possess indivisible weapons?
On the 6th November 1945, a United States bomber flew towards the Western city of Hiroshima. The only cargo aboard that B-29 bomber was an atomic blast ” actually nicknamed “Little Boy ” that was going to be dropped on its target. At 8. 15am and at a height of around 2, 000ft the bomb exploded above Hiroshima, taking a hundred and forty, 000 lives with that. Most of the a hundred and forty, 000 passed away instantly, horrifyingly the rest of the harmless civilians which were not in direct exposure to the bomb died painful deaths in the four a few months following.
Only $13.90 / page
They will died via radiation sickness and different types of cancers. Whilst the atomic explosive device is considered among the greatest developments of all time, when it comes to how it could protect a nation, could it be really worth having numerous levels of governments in edge at the thought of a weapon and so powerful? Ronald Reagan described nuclear weaponry as: “Totally irrational, entirely inhumane, best for nothing but eradicating, possibly resulting in the damage of your life on Earth and civilisation.
He spoke nothing but the fact. US President Reagan was obviously a nuclear abolitionist. He assumed that the only reason to obtain nuclear weapons was to stop the Soviet Union from using theirs. Between them alone the United States and Russia have an overabundance than 90% of the planet’s nuclear guns. Why do these countries feel the need to posses a lot of nuclear warheads? Dominance, electricity and monomanía. Although some with their weapons may possibly simply just always be left over in the Cold War, this is not a reason. They could have easily been destroyed presently. Countries just like Russia and the United States demand power. Nowadays the most important element to guarantee electric power is guns. Countries owning nuclear weaponry use them to scare and intimidate additional nations. 1 day this could spring back and the effects would be dangerous. Take North Korea and America. The moment Kim-Jong Algun tried to get into South Korea, Barack Obama threatened them with an atomic bomb. The moment that was done North Korea recognized they had a significant diplomatic concern and rescinded their risk. A major danger to universe peace is the potential issue that certain more compact countries will likely rebel against being altered and not the capacity to retaliate. To ensure that they prevent being teased by bigger powers they may start to create their own elemental warheads. Since previously stated, thereason two superpowers like Russia plus the United States maintain a significant strategy of nuclear weaponry is definitely down to the simple fact that truthfully, they are paranoid. If you can amass most of the nuclear warheads in the world then definitely nobody would ever be able to harm your country. This is certainly not the case. By having so many risky weapons you are not only a larger threat to potential foes but practically there is the additional threat that Terrorists may pose in the event that they ever before managed to protect or grab some of these weaponry.
Morally we have to also be asking yourself the quality of indivisible weapons, if the leaders of your country declare it is ok to use an extreme sanction just like nuclear weaponry to endanger enemies then simply what’s to express that people do not the actual same thing over a smaller level? In the beginning from the atomic age atom bombs were created to end the war also to save quite a few lives. At this time I mean that arguably, multitudinous lives were saved because when the blast was lowered on Hiroshima the Japanese nearly surrendered right away. If they hadn’t surrendered the war possibly might have gone in for a lot longer. In contrast to this, look at what is now of elemental weapons now. Instead of conserving lives, atomic bombs have become kept together with the intention of unnecessary holocaust. What makes the monsters that enforce the utilization of nuclear weapons any different from Adolf Hitler, Pol Container or Paul Stalin? Even though the atomic bombs are not utilized at this moment, any individual or any authorities in possession of these types of weapons have intention to inflict considerable amounts of soreness on multitude of people. Rajiv Gandhi stated that the “nuclear war will not mean the death of just one hundred million people. Or perhaps a thousand , 000, 000. It will mean the annihilation of four 1000 million: the finish of your life as we know this on the world. The outlook of a nuclear war is just a horrendous thought, a thought that all should never mix our brains. Recently, President Barack Obama and Perfect Minister Dmitry Medvedev fixed a treaty saying that both equally countries are able to reduce their very own amount of nuclear weaponry by a third. It is reassuring to see that the US and Russia start to destroy their atomic bombs but it is not adequate enough. They need to prevent reducing all their arsenal of weapons and eliminate all of them completely. Opposing team of this idea claim that buying arnaments like atomic bombs mutually assures governments that they both have the opportunity of ultimate destruction. But is that really a good or positive thing? People who appear to be psychopathsrun a number of countries. For instance take the ruler of Zimbabwe: Robert Mugabe. He is at the possibly senile age of 89. His mind is definitely failing. Are you able to begin to comprehend what happens if this individual got his hands on a great atomic explosive device? The result would be anarchy. Or take the leader of Syria, President Assad. He has already murdered many people simply by chemical gas attack and has openly stated that he would destroy the state of Israel. For rulers like these guys to possess weaponry with these kinds of a huge harmful potential is actually a simply ludicrous thought. In the event that some unhinged individual were to drop an atomic blast now it could result in retaliation and possibly the most important global disaster this world has ever seen.
We have to think about the consequences. It is a statement of fact that the more of something being produced the easier it is to acquire. Yes, this may concern elemental weapons also. When more nuclear warheads are staying manufactured there is a bigger probability of them theft or a whole lot worse being detonated. Therefore , we have a much larger likelihood of them falling into the wrong hands. In line with the International Atomic Energy Firm, there have been 18 cases of loss yet most likely thievery of uranium and plutonium. These elements will be key when ever constructing a bomb. To make matters a whole lot worse, there have been eleven whole elemental bombs shed in the United States. They may have never been recovered. In the event agencies and governments have found it hard to keep track of their components now, think about how impossible it would be if every nation had their own arsenal of nuclear weapons? If these kinds of lost bombs are inside the hands of terrorists presently I can make sure they will currently be considering how best to rely on them to maximise their very own effect.
To conclude, the fact is that if every country would have been to have the right to possess nuclear weapons we would all be living in constant anxiety about attack. Existence would be different; we would end up being insecure with regards to our security and this would impact tremendously on how all of us lived existence ” we would need to be a lot more vigilant. A little example of this is the potential result that water explosives has on air travel in which we won’t be able to take any fluids which can be more than 100ml into an airport. That is certainly just for liquefied explosives, what limits would be required to ensure nuclear pieces weren’t being smuggled? If one country were to drop a explosive device it would set off a chain effect, all it will take is perfect for one fake state ororganisation to detonate a explosive device and the universe would properly end through nuclear Armageddon.

PORTLAND, Ore. The Washington County Sheriff's office says bomb experts safely detonated a pipe bomb found in a field in a rural part of the county Saturday.
Deputies called to Southwest Clark Hill Road and Southwest Long Road Saturday afternoon were told by a 56-year-old man that he had found a bomb in the field.
The Portland Bomb Squad was called. Bomb experts moved the device to a safer location and detonated it. The device was confirmed a bomb, but experts weren't able to determine how much explosive compound it contained.
The sheriff's office said Saturday night it does not know who left the bomb in the field. | weapons_science |

Each particular steel alloy comes with its own chemical composition, bring its own particular sets of pros and cons.
Some steel alloys are good for knives, and some aren’t. But it’s not really that simple, and the 1055 steel is a good example of that point. It has a particular combination of hardness and toughness that can work for some knives, but not for others.
With this guide, you will find out everything you ought to know about 1055 steel. That way, you’d know what to expect from your knife or sword if they’re made with 1055 steel.
What is 1055 carbon steel?
The 1055 steel is part of the 10xx series of steels. It’s often regarded as a type of tool steel, as it’s typically used for various tools and industrial components. The 10xx steel series is notable for its significant carbon content. The most famous of these steels is the 1095 steel, which is a popular option for many budget knives. It has a carbon content of 0.95% to 1%.
The 1055, as its name indicates, has an average carbon content of about 0.55% carbon. That makes it a softer steel than 1095. Still, it offers decent hardness compared to non-carbon steel. the lower carbon content also makes it a true budget option.
Its lower carbon content also makes it more suitable for cutting tools that you’d expect to encounter impact, such as machetes, axes, and even larger bushcraft knives.
Common Uses of 1055 steel
You’d find the 1055 steel used more often when you require a certain level of hardness and toughness with your implement. You can find the 1055 steel used for the following:
- Larger bushcraft knives
- Throwing knives
- Piston racks
- Gear racks
- Clutch members
- Pressed and punched parts
1055 Steel Chemical Composition
- Carbon, 0.50% to 0.60%
- Manganese, 0.60% to 0.90%
- Sulfur, 0.05% at the most
- Phosphorus, 0.04% at the most
Carbon, 0.50% to 0.60%: Its average of 0.55% carbon makes it hard enough for knives and swords, but there’s still not much carbon here. That’s why it doesn’t have a lot of edge retention to offer, and why it’s also so tough.
Manganese, 0.60% to 0.90%: The manganese is next only to carbon when you’re ranking the most important alloying elements. Its effects are very similar to carbon, as it boosts the tensile strength and hardenability of the steel. It also acts as a deoxidizer, taking out oxygen and sulfur from the steel. It also counteracts the embrittling effect of sulfur that may remain in the steel.
Sulfur, 0.05% at the most: You’ll want to minimize the sulfur at this low level, because more than this amount can lead to brittle steel. But at this level, it helps with machinability.
Phosphorus, 0.04% at the most: This is another impurity you’ll want to remove, as it also makes the steel brittle. But this tiny amount of phosphorus can help with machinability and tensile strength.
1055 Steel Hardness
With the cold drawn steel, the HRC rating is rather low at first, at maybe 13 HRC. But you can subject this to heat treatment to get the hardness up, and it can then get to much more respectable levels. Still, the HRC can maybe reach around 50 HRC only, and the average knives these days have at least 52 HRC for hardness.
That means you get rather poor edge retention, but you end up with a tough knife to compensate. Also, the relatively softness means you’ll need to sharpen the blade often, but at least it will be very easy and quick.
Does 1055 Steel Rust?
With its poor corrosion resistance, it certainly will. This is why you don’t normally see 1055 steel in kitchen and table knives. The moisture from the food ingredients will end up staining the steel rather quickly.
Normally, when used for knives and machetes the steel comes with a coating or a finish to help with corrosion resistance. You’ll still need to oil the blade regularly, to keep the rust at bay.
Properties of 1055 steel
Relatively Low Hardness
This means that you don’t really end up with an edge that holds its sharpness for long. You may even end up sharpening the blade daily (or even more frequently than that). It’s not really great with tough targets.
But that’s not all bad. Low hardness means easy to sharpen, so it doesn’t take long (or that much effort) to get the blade sharp again.
This is the other side of the coin when you have low hardness. You get excellent toughness in return, and the 1055 steel is renowned for its terrific impact resistance. That’s why it’s great for machetes. It won’t just chip off easily.
Low Corrosion Resistance
It doesn’t have much corrosion resistance at all, so you’ll need to take care of the blade properly to keep rust at bay. That means constant oiling of the blade.
You don’t really have to spend much on a knife (or a sword, for that matter) when it’s made with 1055 steel. That way, you get good value for money.
1055 Equivalent Steels or Alternative
Here’s how the 1055 steel compares with other steels that are low in carbon and corrosion resistance but great with toughness.
1055 Steel vs 440
Quite a few people might describe these 2 steels with the same words. They don’t really have a lot of carbon, so they’re both not all that good with edge retention but they’re both tough and easy to sharpen. Also, these 2 steels don’t really have strong corrosion resistance.
But the 1055 steel doesn’t have as much carbon, so the 440 steel has better edge retention but may be somewhat harder to sharpen. The 440 steel also has significantly better corrosion resistance than 1055 steel.
1055 Steel vs 5160
The 5160 steel has slightly higher carbon content (0.60% vs 0.55%), but these 2 steels are again not so good with edge retention and corrosion resistance, but great with toughness and ease of sharpening. The properties of 5160 steel isn’t really suited for knives, however. But it’s great for springs, which is the component it’s mainly used for.
1055 Steel vs 1095
Many consider the 1095 the best of the 10xx series, mainly because it contains the most carbon while retaining its ease of sharpening and toughness. The 1095 can be used for smaller pocket knives, while the 1055 isn’t all that good for the purpose. The 1095 is also highly regarded when used for swords, because of its toughness.
But if you’re looking for a machete, then you’re probably safer with the 1055—its toughness makes it even less brittle than 1095.
Is 1055 Steel Good for Knives?
This depends on what type of knife you’re looking for? In most cases, it can work with knives—but there are lots of other better steels out there even in the same price range. The main issue with 1055 steel is its relatively low carbon content. It doesn’t give you a lot of edge retention to work with. It can be frustrating having to sharpen a blade several times a day if you use it constantly.
But for knives that you’ll use for hacking (like bushcraft knives), then the 1055 works out nicely. It’s very tough, and it can handle the impact better without shattering or chipping than other steels out there.
The corrosion resistance is an issue, as it’s quite low. So you’ll need to oil the blade, and you should keep it dry as best you can.
Is 1055 Steel Good for Swords?
Yes, especially if you’re actually going to use the sword every now and then. It’s not recommended for swords that you’re going to use a lot in tough targets, as its comparatively soft edge won’t hold out for long. But its toughness won’t let you down, and you’re less likely to end with a broken sword.
Pros & Cons of 1055 steel
Best 1055 Steel Knives
The 1055 steel is generally considered suitable for larger cutting tools and weapons, and the Cold Steel brand uses 1055 steel for a lot of their offerings. The Cold Steel brand is actually famous, as for more than 30 years they’ve been around offering excellent knives and tools, along with various innovations.
They’ve introduced brand new designs for blades and handles, revolutionary locking mechanisms, and even new types of steels. Their range of products is quite vast, including EDC knives and tools, cutlery, machetes, swords, and even tomahawks. The high quality of their weapons has made Cold Steel a long-time favorite among both collectors, outdoor enthusiasts, and even military and law enforcement professionals.
#1: Cold Steel 88WGS, Two Handed Great Sword
- Blade Thickness: 7/32″
- Blade Length: 39 7/8″
- Overall Length: 55 1/4″
- Blade Thick: 7/32″
- Blade Length: 39-7/8″
- Handle: 15-3/8″
- Steel: 1055 Carbon
Put this up on your wall, and it will surely get some attention from your friends and visitors. The great sword design has long been a point of contention among amateur military historians, as they will debate how these huge weapons were actually used.
Here, you get a huge great sword that measures an astounding 55¼ inches. That’s only a few inches short of 5 feet! The blade itself is 39⅞ inches long with a thickness of about 7/32 of an inch, while the handle is 15⅜ long.
Obviously, the warriors of long ago didn’t carry this hanging from their belts, which is why it doesn’t come with a scabbard at all. Show this off with the blade exposed, to remind people that this is a real weapon. It even comes with integrated parrying hooks to “shorten” the blade, so that you can grasp it above the hilt for close combat.
It’s massive and solid, but for larger guys the 109.5-ounce (6.84-pound) weight feels very reassuring. The handle is wooden wrapped in leather, with a steel pommel to give you the weight balance you need to wield this weapon.
As for the blade itself, it’s sharp but not razor-sharp. This isn’t used for shaving—it’s for bashing and piercing your enemies in medieval combat. But for modern owners, it’s a fine weapon you can display to signify your interest in older weapons (and in sword and fantasy entertainment).
#2: Cold Steel MAA Italian Long Sword
- Handle Length: 11-1/2″
- Overall Length: 47″
- Weight: 49oz
- Blade Thickness: 1/4″
- Blade Length: 35-1/2″
- Blade Steel: 1090 High Carbon
If the great sword reminds you of Ice, the ancestral sword of House Stark in Game of Thrones (or the sword used by the beastly Gregor “The Mountain” Clegane), then this one may get you thinking of the mythic Dark Sister of House Targaryen. It’s a longsword with a decidedly slimmer blade that someone like Visenya Targaryen could have wielded. But it’s not just for the ladies, as the formidable Bloodraven used it too.
The whole thing is black, which makes it look really deadly. You really don’t want to play with this when there are kids around, or when you’ve been drinking. The sharpness of the blade is very real, and it only needs a single stroke to cut green wood that measures an inch across.
It comes with a full tang design, with a nut securing the pommel to the tang. The cutting power is tremendous, even though this type of sword would have been used more for thrusting against armored opponents.
It’s not as heavy as you might think, as it weighs only about 3 pounds or so. You can use this practice your sword movements and forms. The weight balance is terrific, while the handle offers your hand a very natural grip.
It’s best, though, if you just use this for display. It’s just too “pretty” to be used for cutting tree branches in your backyard, or even for actual HEMA fights. It comes with a scabbard using fake leather.
#3: Cold Steel MAA Grosse Messer
- Weight: 72.4oz
- Blade Thickness: 1.4″
- Blade Length: 32″
- Blade Steel: 1055 Carbon
- Handle Length: 10-1/4″
- Overall Length: 42-1/4″
While the first 2 swords on this list were designed for lords and knights, this one is expressly designed for men at arms (hence, the “MAA” in the name). The Grosse Messer design offers a single-edged weapon, with a hilt design that’s similar to what you find in knives. The name translates loosely to “Large Knife”, and this is basically how warriors of long ago would use this.
This is also dark in color, with a dark blue hue to the blade to go with the rosewood scales. It handles bigger than you might think, but the weight balance is nice and offers great control. This is meant for 2-handed use, but if you’re strong enough then you can maybe use this with one hand—especially if you’re on horseback!
Out of the box, you first have to remove the grease (which is there to prevent any rusting during the transport). It’s easy enough to clean out, then you can oil the blade again. The blade edge is somewhat sharp, but not too sharp to avoid any accidental cuts you might make. At least you won’t have any trouble sharpening 1055 steel.
The scabbard (or sheath) is nothing special, but it works fine enough. It’s supple and fits nicely with the sword. There’s no sliding when you pick up the sword, but when you take out the sword from the scabbard then it’s not a problem.
#4: Cold Steel 88CSAB 1917 Frontier Bowie
- Weight: 23.8oz
- Blade Thickness: 1/4″
- Blade Length: 12-1/4″
- Blade Steel: 1085 High Carbon
- Handle Length: 5-3/8″
- Handle Material: Rosewood
- Overall Length: 17-5/8″
Now let’s switch to something you can still show off on your wall, but which you can also use often if you’re an avid outdoorsman. This Frontier Bowie knife offers a blade that’s nicely wide and sharp, along with a fuller (that groove along the length of the blade). This is also blued, to really make it look great on your wall.
This comes with a rather unique “S” knife guard design. For the handle, you have slim and flat profile of the modified pistol grip handle. It’s built to keep your hand from twisting when you’re using the knife, and to keep your edge alignment straight.
The whole thing doesn’t weigh much at 23.8 ounces (or about 1.5 pounds) while the overall length is at 17⅝ inches. Yes, this sure isn’t a toy, but a knife that Crocodile Dundee might approve of. The blade itself is 12¼ inches long, with ¼ of an inch for thickness. The handle is made with rosewood and measures 5⅜ inches.
The knife also comes with a nice leather sheath, with a blued steel throat and chape. The quality of the sheath alone is so high that by itself, it’s already worth the price you paid. It’s a truly intimidating knife for self-defense, and it’s almost like a sword in that respect!
#5: Cold Steel Chinese Sword Machete
- Weight: 41.2oz
- Blade Thickness: 0.12in
- Blade Length: 24in
- Blade Steel: 1055 Carbon Steel
- Handle Length: 14in
- Overall Length: 38in
For fans of Chinese-setting movies (like Crouching Tiger or even Mulan), this should be a great hit. It looks like the swords you’d expect the Mongol horde to wield on horseback, until they’re buried by an avalanche. Then you can find it easil y after a bit of digging, since the whole sword is black. The black baked-on matte finish is there for added rust protection.
Cold Steel made this weapon starting with 1055 steel that they’ve heated carefully, and then cut it with plasma. Then they ground the steel by hand, and sharpened it in their US facilities. They also used molded polypropylene for the handle, and then topped everything off with a Cor-Ex back sheath.
While this is great for display, it can be used for actual combat. In fact, it’s so good that it will be better for combat than the majority of commercial swords out there. It features a 1-piece construction with a full-tang design.
With the blade itself at exactly 2 feet in length and an overall length of 38 inches, this weapon can get even brave men scurrying. It weighs about 41.2 ounces (a little over 2.5 pounds), so it’s not really all that heavy. You can use it a bit for yard work, but it’s a reassuring weapon in case of a zombie apocalypse.
The 1055 steel is great when you don’t have much of a budget. It doesn’t really compare to a lot of other steels out there, but for its price range it holds its own nicely. Sure, it doesn’t hold an edge for long, but at least it’s easy enough to sharpen.
What’s more, it’s absolutely tough. If you’re using a machete, then the 1055 steel is a good choice—and you don’t have to spend a lot for it! | weapons_science |

Today’s gift falls squarely into that category.
I’d argue that everybody needs a good everyday carry knife. One that’s easy to open and close, stays sharp and won’t break the bank. Here are the two knives I’d recommend you put in somebody’s stocking this year.
First up is the Kershaw Cryo. This is the EDC knife that I use personally and have successfully gifted on a few occasions to rave reviews. Beyond an excellent stainless steel design, the Kershaw Cryo is a great all-purpose knife that stays sharp for a really long time through lots of different uses.
Plus, it has a feature Kershaw calls Speed Safe that lets you quickly flick the knife open with one hand. Maybe the best $30 you’ll spend all year. Great Price On A Great Tool – Shop Now
If you’re looking for something a bit more pricey, I’d go with the Spyderco Para 3. This knife features a compact design and a blade made from carbon steel. It’s a bit more lightweight than the Kershaw above, but like the Kershaw it also has a one-hand opening mechanism. | weapons_science |

The Lost Sword of Counsel
GWENISH CHURCH HISTORY records that in 54 AGE the kingdom's first Chosen, Veritia I, consecrated a finely crafterd longsword as a gift to Gwenil's famously devout king, Rowan I.
GWENISH CHURCH HISTORY
records that in 54 AGE the kingdom's first Chosen, Veritia I, consecrated a finely crafterd
longsword as a gift to Gwenil's famously devout king, Rowan I. It was called
the Sword of Counsel, in recognition of King Rowan's establishment of the
Aunuvian Council, the thirteen bishoprics, and other central institutions
of the Church of Aunu. The sword's qualities
are said to have included the power to counsel (advise) its weilder: it
grew suddenly cold when danger was near, pointed the way to safety, and
communicated in other non-verbal ways.
The sword remained in the Royal Family's possession for exactly 200 years.
Then, in 254 AGE, King Cyril II lost the sword while
bravely struggling to save Agathian townspeople trapped in the floodwaters
of the River Fyff (see History: Cyril II).
Tidewaters pulled the sword from the king's belt. Confronted with the choice
of retrieving it or saving his drowning subjects, Cyril let the sword go.
Rumours circulating in Agata's black market
have it that Trade Lands fisherman found the sword in their fishing nets
a few weeks ago. They were fishing--contrary to Gwenish law--in the waters
off Cranoc Cliffs (just east of Cranoc). Not long after discovering the
sword, they lost it again when their ship was attacked by a huge whale.
The Trade Landers believe the whale swallowed the sword, and they are now
scouring Gwenil's southern coast hunting him.
If the Trade Landers retrieve the sword, it will pass into Terrathetian
hands and may be lost to Gwenil forever. The aim of this adventure is to
recover the Sword of Counsel before the Trade Landers do, and return it
to the king--for a handsome reward, of course!
The Sword of Counsel is a superbly-crafted longsword with the following
Weapon Characteristics: +4 Strike Modifier / +2 Parry Modifier / +2 Disarm
Modifier / 0 Timing Modifier / -1 WIP / 0 Armour Penalty. It is also said
to possess the power of counsel, as described above. It is unclear whether
the sword will counsel any weilder, or only a restricted class of weilders
(such as, 'Kings of Gwenil' or 'Faithful Gwens'). | weapons_science |

Abstract: A turret that shoots nerf bullets was designed to be fired based on facial recognition cues; as a known target walks in front of the turret, the turret would fire at the known target and only when that target enters the frame. Due to time constraints, the turret was unable to properly aim at the target. Overall, however, the facial recognition component worked very well with a tested accuracy of 100% up to a distance of six feet, a false positive rate between 9 and 10%, and the average time to perform facial recognition was 1.70 seconds.

The magazine then automatically chambers a new round. This makes it easy to fire shots quickly. You should be aware that some states prohibit hunting with semi-automatic gun guns.
Semi-automatic shotguns can jam more easily than pump-action and break-action because they are loaded automatically. Unlike handguns or rifles that measure the barrel’s diameter using caliber, Shotguns use gauge. The measurement of meters dates back to when muzzle-loading guns were still in use. The gauge number is the number of lead balls in a shotgun’s barrel that can be rolled down to Winchester 209 primers make one pound. For example, 12 lead balls of equal diameter can be used to create a 12-gauge shotgun.
Many turkey hunters load high-performance ammunition with Tungsten Super Shot and Hevi-Shot. However, reloading can improve performance for all shotgunners. Clay shooters have been making reloads for every game, whether it be a trap, skeet, or sporting clays. It is easy to get into the weeds quickly and debate the merits of Red Dot or Green Dot, Universal versus Clays powder. This debate goes beyond what this article covers on how to reload shotgun shells. You will soon find your favorite, and this is possible through experimentation. We are here to help you get started.
A reloading guide is the first thing you’ll need. Many to choose from, including Hodgdon, Winchester, and Alliant. These companies produce popular shotshell powders, and their manuals can be downloaded for free. There are many other resources online. However, only use reliable sources within the firearms industry. A manual’s data sets are organized by gauge, payload weight, and shell. Similar sections are available for 16-gauge (or 20-gauge) and 28-gauge (or.410 bore). It performs all functions required to reload a shotgun cartridge. The MEC Sizemaster is used for 12-, 20/16-, and 28-gauge.
There are stations within the Sizemaster that follow a circular layout. The next station installs the wade next station will dispense the shot charge, and the last station will crimp the mouth. MEC presses include a charge bar, three bushings, and a shot weight meter. Although the bushings are accurate, I replaced the stock charge bars with a universal bar that allows you to dial in the exact weight of each charge, down to the one-tenth grain. This eliminates the differences that can occur when you use different powders or shot sizes. | weapons_science |

Twelve Chinese Air Force Y-20 cargo planes carried the HQ-22 surface-to-air missile system to Europe last month, in the largest airlift of Chinese arms to Europe.
Serbia has acquired a military arsenal of Russian and Chinese weapons, including T-72 battle tanks, MiG-29 fighter planes, Mi-35 attack helicopters, and even drones, while professing a desire to join the EU.
FK-3 is the export designation for HQ-22 missile systems. In 2020, the United States issued a warning regarding these weapons. Others argue that for Serbia to join the EU or other Western alliances, its military must meet Western standards.
Because of its short range, the Chinese missile system has been compared to the American Patriot anti-aircraft system. With the deployment of Chinese missiles in Serbia, Serbia has become the first user of Chinese missiles in Europe.
According to Belgrade President Aleksandar Vucic, the freshly bought Chinese missiles and other military equipment pose no threat to anybody and instead serve as a “strong deterrent” against future invasions.
NATO launched a 78-day bombing campaign against Serbia in response to Vucic’s declaration that “we would no longer accept to be a punching bag.”
In 2008, Serbia disregarded Kosovo’s proclamation of independence as a sovereign state. On Saturday, Bosnian Serb leader Milorad Dodik trained in Croatia and Montenegro despite escalating tensions with NATO partners.
According to Vucic, the procurement of adaptable French Rafale aircraft and British Eurofighter Typhoon fighter aircraft is also on the table. According to one observer, the paucity of Western aircraft can only be explained by “political constraints.”
Russia may use its Serbian ally as a pretext for conflict with its neighbors in order to divert attention away from the Ukraine crisis.

This article delves into the technical aspects of laser-based anti-drone systems, highlighting their operational mechanisms, challenges, and integration with other defense technologies.
Sophisticated Detection and Target Acquisition:
In counter-UAS operations, the initial phase involves the detection and precise tracking of UAVs. Advanced systems employ a combination of radar, RF (radio frequency) scanners, and visual image processing technologies. Sheu et al. (2019) describe a dual-axis rotary platform that utilizes visual image processing for automatic UAV tracing and locking, significantly enhancing target acquisition accuracy . This integration of optical and radar-based technologies is crucial for the effective operation of laser systems in diverse environmental conditions.
Laser-Induced Thermal Damage Mechanism:
Upon acquiring the target, the laser system engages by directing a high-energy beam towards the UAV. The laser beam, characterized by its high photon density, imparts substantial thermal energy upon contact. This results in the overheating and subsequent failure of critical UAV components like propulsion systems, batteries, and control circuits, thereby neutralizing the aerial threat. The precision and controlled energy delivery of laser systems are pivotal in minimizing collateral damage, especially in populated or sensitive areas.
Rapid Response and Precision Targeting:
A defining feature of laser systems in anti-drone applications is their ability to respond and engage targets at the speed of light. This rapid response capability, coupled with the high accuracy afforded by advanced targeting algorithms, makes lasers particularly effective against fast-moving and agile UAVs. The precision targeting also ensures minimal environmental impact and safety for surrounding infrastructure.
The operational stealth of laser systems, characterized by their silent and often invisible emissions, is a strategic advantage in covert defense operations. This feature is particularly beneficial in scenarios where the non-disclosure of defense system locations is critical.
Technical Limitations and Environmental Considerations:
Despite their efficacy, laser systems are not without limitations. Environmental factors such as fog, rain, or dust can significantly attenuate laser beams, impacting their performance. Additionally, the power requirements and thermal management of high-energy lasers are critical engineering challenges. Robbe, Papy, and Nsiampa (2018) emphasize the importance of considering non-lethal approaches in UAV neutralization, which is pertinent in the ethical deployment of laser technologies .
Integration with Multi-Layered Defense Systems:
In practical scenarios, laser systems are often part of a multi-layered defense strategy. This involves the integration with RF jammers, kinetic systems (like net launchers), and other non-lethal technologies, forming a comprehensive defense solution against UAV threats. Such integration not only enhances the overall effectiveness but also provides a versatile response to a range of scenarios.

Now you have the Russians selling missile systems to Iran. What an accomplished mission, you horses ass.
Did you ever stop to think, Dubya, that if you weren't brow beating Iran in an attempt to bolster your own weakened manlihood, they might not be buying missiles from Russia? I'll bet that move really upsets you, since in 2001 you told us you looked at Vlad Putin and could "see his soul." The comment in this story about the sale to Iran likely upsetting the US is Putin's soul giving you the finger in return.
And, Dubya, before you get bent out of shape about this remember all of the missile systems WE sell to the Terrorist State of Israel each year. All Russia is doing is trying to help Iran protect itself from a fanatical attack by the Terrorist State of Israel (under US protection of course). I really can't blame Iran for doing this.
Six long years ago you started beating the drums for invading Iraqnam claiming that doing so would bring not only democracy to the Middle East but also a calming influence on the region. Russia selling missiles to Iran is certainly calming. | weapons_science |

Anytime during a battle if a die of any value is rolled in an attack targeting Spor Conductor then the attack value will crank up by +1. The Spor Conductor can only increase +1 per attack, because the entire attack including bombs are considered one damage total.
Note: Even if Spor Conductor takes damage and increases its attack, it can still be destroyed during that combat if the defense total is lesser, like normal combat.
Additional Note: It is possble to attack Spor Conductor with a limb with attack +0 and a pilot with attack +0 which will not cause the Spor Conductor to crank up. The defender will still need to roll the defense dice.
YotZ Bazooka: The strike from this shoulder armor would not crank up Spor Conductor unless it is a successful strike, at which point would blow off the head and the cranking would be unnessesary.
Note about Mute: Using the BLAST effect from Mute on your own attack can also be a way to erase all 6s rolled from the attack and keep Spor Conductor from cranking up (assuming you rolled only 6s in your attack). Although it is unlikely, and even more unlikely that this would be in your best interest (but still possible). | weapons_science |

The intelligence highlighted the Soviet Union’s shift away from manned bombers to long-range ballistic missiles, suggesting interceptors like the Arrow would increasingly play a smaller role in the defence of North America.
The paper makes the case that these strategic intelligence assessments — long the “missing dimension” in the debate over the Arrow’s demise — now allow for a fuller understanding of an important episode in Canadian history.
“Arrows, Bears and Secrets: The Role of Intelligence in Decisions on the CF-105 Program,” was published Tuesday in the peer-reviewed academic journal Canadian Military History.
The paper’s author, researcher Alan Barnes, tells of how the sudden cancellation of the impressive delta-winged interceptor, once a symbol of Canada’s high-tech future in aircraft manufacturing, remains a source of nationalistic anguish decades later.
Barnes, a former federal intelligence official who is now a senior fellow of the Centre for Security, Intelligence and Defence Studies at Carleton University, used the Access to Information Act to obtain classified records that shed fresh light on the saga.
“It has taken more than 60 years to get a more complete picture of the decisions surrounding the Avro Arrow,” Barnes told The Canadian Press. “Only now can we address many of the myths about the Arrow that have grown up in those decades.”
One is the notion that Canada was misled by poor U.S. intelligence. Another is that Washington deliberately manipulated the intelligence it gave Ottawa to induce Diefenbaker to cancel the Arrow. It has also been suggested that Canadian intelligence officers intentionally discounted contrary information to support a decision that had already been made by their political masters, or the government simply ignored the intelligence provided by both the Canadian and U.S. militaries.
“All of these claims cannot be true; it is possible that none of them are,” Barnes writes.
In the years after the Second World War, Canada developed its ability to prepare strategic intelligence assessments on defence and foreign policy, the paper notes. It would no longer have to rely entirely on assessments from the United States and Britain.
The analytic capability allowed Canada to fully participate in preparing the assessments on the Soviet threat to North America that would underpin joint Canada-U.S. planning for continental defence, Barnes notes.
“The CF-100 Canuck, a jet interceptor developed and manufactured in Canada, was just entering service, but there were already concerns that it might soon be outclassed by newer Soviet bombers operating at higher altitudes and faster speeds.”
In November 1952, the Royal Canadian Air Force called for an aircraft with a speed of Mach 2 and the ability to fly at 50,000 feet. “These demanding specifications contributed to the escalating costs and frequent delays in the CF-105 program.”
The Soviets would soon display a new long-range jet bomber, the Bison, at the 1954 May Day parade in Moscow. At an airshow the following year, a fly-past of 28 Bison seemed to indicate that the bomber had entered serial production, two years earlier than predicted, the paper says. In fact, only 18 prototype aircraft participated in the airshow, flying past several times to give the impression of larger numbers.
Even so, this display, along with the appearance of a new Soviet long-range turboprop bomber, the Tu-95 (dubbed the Bear), raised fears that the Soviet Union would soon outnumber the United States in intercontinental bombers, sparking a “Bomber Gap” controversy that figured prominently in American politics, the paper says.
These developments spurred acceleration of the CF-105 program.
However, Canadian intelligence would begin to cast doubt on the degree of the Soviet threat.
A 1957 report from the federal Joint Intelligence Bureau noted that the Canadian estimate of Soviet bomber production was consistently lower than the U.S. calculation, and that the Americans were reluctant to budge even when presented with new information.
In February of that year, the Liberal government approved continuing work on the CF-105, now officially known as the Arrow, but limited the scope to just eight developmental aircraft.
“There was a growing recognition among ministers that the escalating cost of the CF-105 was becoming unsustainable, but there was no interest in cancelling the program just before an election.”
The newly elected Conservative government of John Diefenbaker kept the program alive, authorizing an order for 29 pre-production aircraft.
This decision followed the first public appearance of the Arrow in October 1957.
Barnes notes the plane was rolled out for the cameras the same day the Soviet Union launched its pioneering Sputnik satellite with the help of a powerful rocket — a demonstration of Moscow’s growing ability to produce inter-continental ballistic missiles capable of striking North America.
A January 1958 assessment, “The Threat to North America, 1958-1967,” by Canada’s Joint Intelligence Committee, a co-ordinating body, ultimately had the greatest impact on decisions related to the Arrow, the paper says.
The assessment laid out clear judgments concerning the imminent transition from crewed bombers to ballistic missiles and described the limited size and capabilities of the Soviet bomber force, Barnes notes.
It observed that the Soviet ballistic missiles which were on the verge of being developed were likely to be markedly superior to the foreseeable defences, and concluded that missiles would progressively replace aircraft as the main threat to North America.
The assessment said this meant there would be little justification for the Soviet Union to increase the number of bombers, or to introduce new ones, after 1960.
“The (Joint Intelligence Committee)’s January 1958 assessment was correct in foreseeing Moscow’s shift from bombers to missiles over the subsequent decade,” Barnes writes.
He points out that following the Sputnik launch, Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev came to see missiles as a panacea for a range of defence problems and as a cheaper alternative to conventional weapons. “With the Soviet bomber force now looking irrelevant and obsolete, it was relegated to a secondary position in Soviet military thinking.”
Diefenbaker announced the cancellation of the Arrow in the House of Commons in February 1959, citing the changing strategic threat as the main reason.
“Diefenbaker’s statement made little mention of the escalating — and unsustainable — cost of the CF-105 program. He likely wanted to avoid accusations by the opposition that the government was unwilling devote the necessary resources to the defence of Canada,” Barnes reasons.
Skeptical opposition Liberals pressed for more details and argued the prime minister’s claim was contradicted by public statements from U.S. Air Force officers in testimony to congressional committees.
Much of the information on which the Canadian assessments were based came from U.S. and other allied sources, but Canadian analysts brought their own judgment to bear to evaluate this information, reaching their own conclusions about the Soviet Union’s current and likely future capabilities, Barnes found.
The Canadian forecast of the capabilities of Soviet long-range aviation in the early 1960s proved to be broadly accurate, and the lower Canadian calculation of the number of Soviet operational heavy bombers was generally closer to reality than U.S. estimates, the paper says.
“As well, the Canadian view of the significance of Moscow’s imminent shift from bombers to missiles as the main means of attacking North America was essentially correct,” Barnes writes.
“By the late 1950s, with the advent of U-2 reconnaissance flights over the Soviet Union, the U.S. estimates of Soviet bomber numbers were also gradually reduced and the Bomber Gap ceased to be a political issue in the United States.”
From August 1958 on, the military advice to cabinet consistently stressed the Joint Intelligence Committee’s estimate of the Soviet bomber threat as a primary factor in the recommendation to cancel the CF-105, the paper says.
It is not clear whether ministers saw the committee assessment itself, although the defence minister of the day likely received a copy. In any case, the assessment’s main conclusions were summarized in the memoranda sent to the cabinet defence committee and to the full cabinet in August and September.
In addition, the officials in External Affairs, as Global Affairs Canada was then known, and the Privy Council Office who were involved in drafting Diefenbaker’s statement to the House were aware of the committee’s paper, Barnes found.
“The arguments put forward in the statement — and some of the wording — tracked closely with the (Joint Intelligence Committee) assessment, as did the government’s references to the diminished bomber threat in the subsequent parliamentary debate,” he writes. “From this it can be concluded that the Canadian intelligence assessment of the changing Soviet bomber threat to North America was an important factor in the fateful decision to cancel the Arrow.”
Barnes believes the process of drawing conclusions was unnecessarily difficult.
Historians are hampered by the fact that Canada, unlike its close allies, has no process for the systematic declassification of historical government records after a certain period of time, said Barnes, who was director of the Middle East and Africa Division at the Intelligence Assessment Secretariat of the Privy Council Office from 1995 to 2011.
“Researchers therefore have to work through the cumbersome and slow access-to-information process, which was never intended to deal with quantities of historical records,” he said.
“This means that Canadians do not have adequate access to their history and therefore have a poorer understanding of government decisions and actions in many areas, not just intelligence matters.” | weapons_science |

: : : : "...polish the cannon balls." Where did the phrase 'no need to polish the cannon balls' come from. I have heard it used to indicate over preparation.

Is that actually authenticated? I have always assumed that it was something of a myth, and that those completely pointless tasks, if performed at all, were performed as a punishment.
After all, why would any high-ranking visitor be anywhere near any place the coal was kept? It probably isn't most Generals' idea of a good time to inspect the cellars. | weapons_science |

The Glock 19 Review:

In the US from World War I till the mid 1980’s the standard issue side arm was the Colt M1911 .45 ACP. The 1911 designed by legendary gun designer John Mosses Browning who also designed the M2 .50 BMG (Browning Machine Gun) .30 BMG and the .30 BAR. As Americans we tend to think bigger always = better and some would argue to this day in the world of pistol calibers this is true.
Even Browning realized the 1911 for the soldier packed almost too much and then he designed the Browning High Power pistol around the German 9mm Lugar Pistol cartage.
Glock 19 Review - Cost of Global Domination: While U.S. Armed Forces seemed to reluctant accept the 9mm over the .45 ACP round because of its limited knockdown power and killing ability there seem to be factors that can not be ignored.
1. Commonality. Until the switch to 9mm the US was the only country in NATO and the majority of the rest of the world that did not have the 9mm round
2. Number of rounds. In a compact frame the Glock 19 9mm holds 15 rounds, the same as the full size Beretta M9, and double that of the 1911. The Glock 19 9mm can accept magazines of larger frame Glock 9mm pistols.
3. Recoil. Even in a compact frame pistol the 9mm round is very manageable for when needed second follow up shots.
4. Cost. Depending on where you get ammo the cost for .45 ACP can be 2-3 times that of 9mm because you are using less lead, brass and powder.
Glock 19 Review - Glock and the AK: The case for the Glock being the best weapons system using the 9mm round is the same reason I believe the AK-47 is the best rifle- simplicity, durability, required maintenance, reliability, and ability to take mistreatment.
1. Simplicity. The Glock Family of Pistols have 34 parts. When field stripped they have 4- slide, frame, barrel, recoil spring assembly. For pistols that have more parts than this there is less chance something will break with the Glock.
2. Durability. Given the nickname “Combat Tupperware” by its competitors when first introduced Glock’s frames are made of plastic, which is not prone to rust and in a desert or hot environment get so hot you can’t touch it. The finish on the slide is a super hard finish called Tenifer, which is very corrosion resistant.
3. Required Maintenance. Glocks are rumored to shoot indefinitely without any maintenance at all. While this is something I am not going to attempt with mine, it is a very solid platform. According to a Glock armorer instructor it requires 2 drops of oil on the barrel when field stripped to none at all, to prevent over oiling.
4. Reliability. I have never herd of or experienced a Glock not going bang when the trigger was pulled unless it was bad ammo, not to say it can’t happen, its just highly unlikely and was probably due to human error.
5. Ability to Take Mistreatment. Glocks have endured torture tests that have made it legendary including salt water immersion, ice block, sand and mud immersion tests. All have ended with the pistol putting lead down range. This reliability has given Glock roughly 80% of America’s law enforcement market.
Glock 19 Review - Why it's my favorite: The case for the model 19 is not as easy to make but it is my personal favorite for a few key reasons.
1. Size. The 19 is small enough to conceal in a Concealed Carry Weapon (CCW) role, yet large enough to carry as a duty / secondary weapon.
2. Multiple Magazines. Another very attractive quality of Glock family weapons the magazines of a larger frame weapon will fit the smaller frame weapons of the same caliber.
When working I carry my 19 with a Glock 17 magazine, this gives me another 2 round of ammo without having to modify a factory magazine. While the Glock 19 9mm is my personal favorite as a sidearm and the gun I work with as a security professional. It is also important to know where you will be going with your gun, to acquire ammo and parts if something breaks.
Whatever you decide to carry it is important to train and shoot frequently as possible with whatever gun you carry to become as proficient as possible with it because lets face it, lives are on the line and more often than not it will be yours.
So it is important to care for and train with your pistol whether it is a 1911, Sig, Beretta, or Glock. It is very important before going live to research the type of pistol you will be using and to train with it before it matters.

The Iranian regime is using its space program as a cover for further developing long-range missiles, the United States has warned.
“The technologies used to launch satellites into orbit are virtually identical and interchangeable with those used in longer-range systems, including intercontinental ballistic missiles,” U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said last week.
The warning came after Iran failed to put a satellite into orbit.

How these weapons work in Halo
Overheating Weapons, such as the Plasma Rifle, make use of a heat gauge that appears alongside the ammo count, unlike their reloading counterparts such as the Needler, the total amount of shots for weapons like the Plasma Rifle is the entire weapon magazine, or battery percentage, and the number of bullets in a magazine for reloading weapons is replaced by a bar representing how hot the weapon is before it will overheat.
When the heat gauge becomes full, the weapon is considered as overheating, playing an animation showing the gun cooling down. and the heat gauge in the HUD starts to go down. During this time, the player cannot fire the weapon until both the animation has finished playing and the heat gauge in the HUD is empty, however, if the weapon is fired but doesn’t overheat, the weapon’s heat gauge instantly cools down at a rapid speed.
Due to the nature of these weapons, each shot is the equivalent to 0.5% of the weapon’s battery, meaning that unlike reloading guns, simply stepping over an overheating weapon won’t recharge the weapon’s battery, instead, the player has to replace the weapon with another with a higher amount of battery left.
So in short, these were the mechanics I needed to replicate for this case study:
- A fixed number of available shots, possible done as an Ammo integer, that cannot be topped up
- A dynamic heat value that increases when the gun is fired and decreases when the gun is not firing
- A fixed value that determines maximum heat
- A true/false value to determine whether or not the weapon is overheating
Remaking the Original Plasma Rifle
Summary of Implementation
Because this prototype focussed on the creation of certain types of weapons from a franchise of the FPS-genre, I decided to start with the first-person template for Unreal Engine 4 as the foundation for this prototype. Since the template puts the player and the weapon together in one object, I immediately separated the gun and player into their own objects, making sure that they are initialised and set as the player’s equipped weapon or the player themselves so the player and gun parent objects could access each other.
This allowed for one object to serve as a parent for every gun, meaning core gun logic could be placed in the parent while children could be edited to meet the needs of the individual gun, to be more flexible with designing and balancing weapons as well as allowing additional mechanics such as switching between weapons and/or picking up new weapons on the ground.
It’s worth noting that I had used a lot of variables to prevent hard-coding any behaviours and allowing easy customisation of lots of different objects, making designing and tuning weapons a much easier process.
- Ammo (Integer) – Amount of shots that can be fired, gets decremented when being fired.
- IsFiring (Boolean) – Sets to true while the player is holding down the Fire Weapon button, later changed for the purpose of non-automatic firing to prevent the player from rapidly spamming bullets
- IsOverheated (Boolean) – Puts the weapon in an Overheating state when set to true
- IsTracing (Boolean) – A setting that decides whether the weapon fires projectiles (false) or uses line tracing (true)
- Fire Rate (Float) – The number of seconds between each shot being fired (1.0 = 1 second). This is involved in all heating and cooling calculations, being multiplied by the heat multiplier, cooldown rate or the cooldown rate multiplied by the cooldown multiplier.
- Current Heat (Float) – The level of heat in the gun, clamped to be a value between 0 and 1.
- Heat Multiplier (Float) – Is multiplied by the Fire Rate to get the result to add to the Current Heat
- Cooldown Rate (Float) – Is multiplied by the Fire Rate to get the result to subtract from the Current Heat when cooling down the weapon outside of the Overheating state
- Cooldown Multiplier (Float) – Is multiplied by the Cooldown Rate which creates a slower cooldown for when the weapon is in the Overheating state.
Projectiles and Line Tracing
The intention of setting up both projectile-based weapons and line tracing was to work out which system achieves the best results, especially when it comes to testing. This is because the original Plasma Rifle in Halo appears to show projectiles being fired out of the weapon but I had an interest to see if using line tracing would make improvements to the original gameplay or if preserving the original gameplay was a better idea.
While setting up the guns to be separated from the player object, I decided that I’d create a Boolean value that decided whether or not the gun could be set to using projectiles, just like the default option created by Epic in the FPS template, or using line tracing.
For projectile-based weapons, I kept the default blueprint for Projectiles created by Epic Games mostly intact, only adding in the Apply Damage logic to allow the projectile to damage enemies in addition to applying physics effects on objects and causing projectiles to get destroyed on contact with any object, regardless of whether they simulate physics. Furthermore, I made some changes to the scale and velocity of the projectiles to make them appear more like bullets as opposed to the default settings that appeared larger and heavier which were completely inappropriate for the objective of this prototype.
For Line Tracing, I had to make use of a locally stored vector to determine the gun’s direction which was set based on the forward vector of the first-person camera. That same forward vector is also used to get the end of the line trace by multiplying it by the weapon’s range.
Using the LineTraceByChannel function in BluePrint, I was able to make line shots using line trace work exactly the same way as firing a projectile but that meant values such as the amount of damage that the weapon deals had to be attached to the weapon object while the projectiles, being separate objects, had their own damage value, meaning the line tracing system provided a much simpler approach to customising weapons from a design perspective due to everything being on one single object instead of working with two separate objects to fully set up a weapon’s parameters.
Heating Up the Weapon
A function dedicated to heating up the weapon was created to contain the logic for both setting the level of heat that the weapon currently had in addition to triggering the Overheated state if the current heat reached the maximum amount, being if the value of Current Heat reached 1 or above.
As shown in the blueprint function below, the additional heat added the result of the Fire Rate multiplied by the Heat Multiplier to the Current Heat, a float value between 0 and 1, and added the result iteratively to the value of the current heat variable.
Cooling Down the Weapon
Continuing with the heat element, I also needed to have a behaviour for cooling down the weapon. As this is something that happens automatically after the gun has been fired in the original Halo games, it made sense to have the cooldown behaviour take place under a Tick Event. As shown, while the value of Current Heat is above 0, different cooldown effects happen depending on whether or not the weapon is currently in it’s overheating state.
The cooldown behaviour that takes place when the weapon is not overheating is the result of the Current Heat subtracted by the result of the Fire Rate multiplied by the Cooldown Rate. This sum subracts from the weapon’s current heat in an iterative fashion in a similar fashion to the heating up mechanic.
Overheating the weapon is triggered by the heating up function, called in the weapon firing logic, in the parent when the weapon’s heat reaches the maximum amount. As this was intended to be a special type of cooldown which is significantly slower than usual in addition to stopping the player from firing their weapon until the heat level reaches 0, additional scripting was needed. Firstly, there was a new calculation for cooling the weapon down which required an additional multiplication sum of the Cooldown Rate and Cooldown Multiplier
As for firing the weapon, a condition was created that checks if Is Overheated is not true before allowing gun firing logic to happen, meaning when the gun is in an overheating state, the gun will not fire.
Overall, this achieved an effect where the gun has to cool down fully before the player is able fire the gun again as the cooldown behaviour in the Event Tick sets Is Overheating to false when the Current Heat reaches 0.
Because the original weapon made by Epic Games required the player to repetitively press the Fire Button to fire lots of shots, it was not ideal as Halo’s Plasma Rifle is a fully automatic weapon. Because of this, some scripting needed to happen to allow automatic firing of guns.
Firstly, in the parent object, a custom event that causes a Boolean variable to change to true while the Fire Button is being held down and another custom event that changes Is Firing to false when the player isn’t holding down the button.
As this is in the parent, this creates core functionality ready for child objects to make use of to allow easy implementation of any type of firing, whether it be fully automatic or not, removing the restricted firing behaviour created by default.
Following this, the child object for the specific logic and parameters for the Plasma Rifle was created where I did an event override for the Start and Stop Shooting custom events which still called the parent functions. I added logic for firing the weapon as well as starting or stopping a timer that allowed the weapon to be automatically fired while the Fire Weapon button was held down, making every shot timed by the Fire Rate.
Polishing and Optimisation
Following the initial setup of the gameplay mechanics for the Plasma Rifle, I needed to apply some visual polish to the prototype in addition to optimising the Blueprint scripts to make iterating on this prototype, such as when I make different kinds of weapons like the Plasma Pistol, much easier to manage.
Plasma Rifle Asset and Material
Fortunately I managed to find a Plasma Rifle model to use for the purpose of this prototype so I imported it and the related textures into Unreal Engine. Firstly, I had to set up the skeleton for the Plasma Rifle to have sockets for where the player holds the weapon, where the muzzle flash will spawn and where the smoke VFX will spawn.
Following this, I had to create a material to apply to the skeletal mesh which was made a simple job thanks to the creator of the Plasma Rifle model naming the different types of textures (i.e normals, metallic, etc.) appropriately, meaning I linked the appropriate textures to the correct nodes in the material, resulting in a very nice looking Plasma Rifle for the player to carry in the game.
Dynamic Cooldown VFX
For further visual polish, I decided that a cooldown VFX that had a dynamic length would be a much better idea than the cooldown VFX only appearing when the weapon was overheating to add some additional realism to the idea of using a heat-based weapon.
To achieve this, the cooldown FX custom event was called alongside the newly optimised cooldown behaviour. The VFX would start playing at the end of the firing logic and would not end until the weapon’s heat was at 0 but if the weapon ended up overheating, some SFX would play alongside the VFX.
Optimising Weapon Cooldown
During the initial build, the automatic weapon cooldown used the Tick Event, meaning it was being called every frame which could potentially lead to problems with frame rate and so on during further development of this prototype.
To resolve this, I created a custom event that is called at the end of the weapon’s firing logic to start the process of cooling down the weapon using a timer instead of being called every frame. While the new logic appeared less smooth in the prototype, it was better optimised and still functioned as intended.
Changing Gun Initialisation for the Player
Something from the initial set up for the player that was difficult to work with was the use of a Child Actor component that made a Gun object that considered the player character as a parent.
As there are plans to allow the player to swap weapons (appearing in next month’s blog), making the gun objects a child of the player would potentially lead to complications later in development so I changed the weapon attachment to the player using a scene component where the player’s weapon would spawn and attach.
Removing Unnecessary Variables
Firstly, it was spotted in the Line Trace Function that the local Gun Direction Vector variable did not serve much of a purpose other than deciding the direction in which physics-based objects would travel if hit by a line tracing weapon.
Since the Gun Direction would be set to the player’s forward vector, it was decided that it was better to just use the Get Forward Vector Pure Function to determine what direction physics-based objects would move to optimise the line tracing functionality, especially since using the forward vector provided the same effect as the local variable that was previously used.
Beyond this, the IsFiring dynamic Boolean variable was repurposed for the implementation of non-automatic firing in the Gun Parent object as shown below but it was not serving a purpose to achieve the intended automatic firing behaviour, especially heading into the complete overhaul of automatic firing behaviour.
Automatic Firing Changes
In the initial setup, the automatic firing behaviour was set up in a complicated way due to scripting the parent object and child objects to achieve the automatic firing effect. Because this would become a problem later in development due to the risk of needing to script this logic for every child of the Gun Parent that used automatic firing, I researched into alternative ways to achieve this effect in the parent object in addition to speaking with others in my network about possible solutions.
Using what I found out from my research and networking, I managed to implement a Sequence and Gate combination to achieve an automatic firing effect as shown in the image below. The Delay node was used to achieve both the weapon’s fire rate and preventing an infinite loop error when the player fired the weapon. I also added a condition to only trigger the automatic firing effect if the gun was set to being automatic using an editable variable, meaning it would be possible to decide whether or not to use this new logic by checking a setting in child objects of the Gun Parent. Doing this meant I no longer needed to repeat using the same scripts for every automatic firing weapon.
Making Variants of this Weapon
For the purpose of this prototype, I decided to make two additional weapon variants, one that uses automatic firing but behaved slightly differently to the Plasma Rifle, such as the Brute Plasma Rifle which had a much higher fire rate but overheated quicker, and another that uses non-automatic firing mechanics at its core, like the Plasma Pistol. This was to test how to apply the overheating mechanic in different ways but it was met with a handful of challenges.
To be able to keep the weapon firing accurate to their counterparts in Halo 2, I had to use the weapons in Halo 2 to get a rough guide as to how many shots each kind of weapon would have to fire before it would overheat. In the end, I settled with the following:
- Plasma Rifle: 14 continuous shots before overheating
- Brute Plasma Rifle: 21 continuous shots before overheating
- Plasma Pistol: 16 continuous shots before overheating
The challenge from there was to achieve this as well as an estimated 3 seconds of time for weapon cooldown while overheating based on my experience with the gameplay in Halo 2.
I found myself tweaking with the fire rate, Heat Multiplier, Cooldown Rate and Cooldown Multiplier values of each weapon and doing trial and error until I was happy with the results and placed the final values in a spreadsheet.
What made this a more tedious task than anticipated was likely how the cooldown calculations worked, that being multi-layered multiplication sums just to decide how fast a weapon cools down which put me in a situation where I was doing a lot of guesswork to find the sweet-spot that was as close as I could get to replicating the original mechanics.
What was learned from this?
During the making of this prototype, I developed a much better understanding of inheritance for Blueprint objects, especially when it came to making the core weapon behaviour. While I initially took a complicated approach to creating children of the Gun object, which was later simplified, I learned that by setting up one object with core functionality, I could make lots of different types of weapons and set them differently to create fun and interesting weapons, both developing this prototype further and going into future projects.
I also learned that for creating a more unconventional game mechanic, such as the overheating system done here, I’d unintentionally made some of my functions too complicated, namely the sums for heating up and cooling down the weapon which did multiplications of multiplications to achieve the final result which made tuning the relevant weapons a much more tedious task than it should have been. If I was to do this mechanic from scratch again, I’d certainly look into simplifying the maths involved with heating up and cooling down the guns, making tuning the relevant values and mechanics less tedious when designing the weapons.
Next Month’s Blog
Next month, I will be taking this prototype further by designing and blocking out a level to go with it, more specifically, remaking a part of Halo 2’s campaign by breaking down the chosen level, looking at what would improve that level and not only block out the level but make the improvements that I suggested.

The bow probably originated for Mediveal Archers use in hunting and was then adopted as a tool of warfare. Medieal Archers Bows eventually replaced the atlatl, as the predominant means Meideval Archers for launching projectiles.
Classical civilizations, notably the Persians, Macedonians, Nubians, Greeks, Parthians, Indians, Chinese, and Koreans, fielded large numbers of archers in their armies. Arrows proved exceptionally destructive against massed formations and the use of archers often proved decisive. Archers sometimes rode on horseback (horse archers), combining range with speed. Apollo, Odysseus and other mythological characters are often depicted with a bow.
The phrase "a parting shot" comes from the Parthian shot, a technique employed by the Parthians, with the riders turning in the saddle to shoot as they rode away from the enemy.

Medieval European archery
During the Middle Ages, archery in warfare was not as prevalent and dominant, in Western Europe, as popular myth dictates. Archers were quite often the lowest paid soldiers in an army or were conscripted from the peasantry. This was due to the cheap nature of the bow and arrow, as compared to the expense needed to equip a professional man-at-arms with good armour and a sword. The bow was seldom used to decide battles and viewed as a "lower class weapon" or as a toy, by the nobility. However, among the Vikings, even royalty such as Magnus Barelegs used archery effectively, and the Muslims used archery, presumably also in their numerous raiding expeditions all over the Western European seaboard, in the 9th and 10th centuries.
By the time of the Hundred Years' War, the English had learned how to employ massed archery (as opposed to dispersed skirmishing) as an instrument of tactical dominance, with their English longbows. They would form in a line or lines with arrows stuck in the ground in front of them so they could fire and easily reload. They would fire continuously, and if they had multiple rows they would fire in a round, here is an example 1st row fires then second fires while first reloads, etc. This would create a rain of arrows thus terrifying the enemy, that is why the longbow is now called the machine gun of the Middle Ages. Archers were drawn from the freeholding farmers, known as yeomen and trained rigorously from childhood. Every boy was given a bow of his own height and was required to train with it. Tournaments were sponsored, to encourage proficiency.
In combat, they would often shoot two arrows, one on a high trajectory and one on a low trajectory. These two arrows would hit the enemy simultaneously from two different angles, making defense difficult. The advent of the bodkin point also gave arrows better penetrative power.
The crossbow, while dating from classical times, became quite popular during the Middle Ages. While it took many years to train a longbowman, someone could become proficient with a crossbow with remarkably little training. The crossbow had about the same power and range as a longbow. Its major drawback however was that it took a long time to reload. The renowned armour-piercing power of the crossbow caused fear amongst the well-armoured nobility and it was banned by the Second Council of the Lateran (at least between Christians), although to little avail.
The advent of firearms rendered bows obsolete in warfare. Although bows had a longer range and could shoot much more frequently than the earliest guns, guns could penetrate most armour and required minimal training. Later development gradually gave firearms advantages over bows in range, accuracy and eventually in reload time. An illustration of the declining popularity of the bow could be seen in the various edicts promulgated by 16th-century English monarchs, to make archery a mandatory practice for all men of fighting age, including Henry VIII's famous ban on the practice of all sports other than archery, on Sundays.
The term "Second String" (or the phrase 'to have more than one string to your bow') derives from the fact that medieval archers would carry a second string, in the event that their "first string" snapped.
Asian and Middle Eastern archery
An archery contest in Ladakh, India
Archery was also highly developed in Asia and in the Islamic world. The horse archers were the main military force of most of the Equestrian Nomads. In modern times, horse archery continues to be practised in some Asian countries but is not used in international competition. Central Asian tribesmen were extremely adept at archery on horseback. Archery is the national sport of the Kingdom of Bhutan.
Asian arrows are less stiff than western arrows, with smaller fletchings. Bows vary widely.
The bow is held clasped to the chest, arrow point slightly up. Both arms are extended, the left arm up and toward the target, the right arm back and away from the target. The bow and arrow are drawn down into a line, with both arms locked on opposite sides of the body but the elbow of the right arm is permitted to flex. In some styles the bowstring and fletchings may actually be held behind one's head. The arrow is held at the first joint of the thumb and the string rests on a thumbring (Mongol or Manchu) or a slot at the base of a gauntlet's thumb (Japanese tsuri), so it does not hurt the thumb. A headband may be worn to keep the bowstring from hurting one's ear or head. Thick, loose clothing protects the arms and chest from the bowstring, at release. Warriors on the battlefield often wore leather gauntlets, chest armor and helmets with flared ridges, to protect against the bowstring.
Foot-bows were known and sometimes used in warfare; they were preferred to crossbows because they had a faster firing rate and somewhat longer range. The basic technique was for archers to lie on their backs, with the bows held to their feet; they would put the arrow between their feet, and pull back the string with both hands, using their back and legs to bend the bow. Aiming was poor but with the weight and velocity of the five foot long arrows, combined with massed volleys, this became less important.
Archery was widespread in India. Arjuna's bow, Gandiva, was the Indian equivalent of King Arthur's Excalibur.

Stormbreaker should have been erased from existence in Avengers: Infinity War because of its connection to Groot, but there's a good reason why it survived the snap. Groot, along with several other members of the Guardians of the Galaxy, was killed when Thanos gathered the Infinity Stones and snapped his fingers, right after Thor failed to kill him with Stormbreaker. The only Guardians who were left standing after the snap were Rocket and Nebula. Groot didn't return until Professor Hulk used the Stones to bring everyone back near the end of Avengers: Endgame.
In Thor: Ragnarok, Thor lost his greatest weapon when Hela destroyed Mjolnir just by crushing it in her hand. The God of Thunder remained unarmed for the remainder of the film, although he was still able to use his lightning powers. He didn't find a replacement for Mjolnir until Avengers: Infinity War, when he, Groot, and Rocket set out on a mission to build a weapon that he could use to kill Thanos. With the help of the dwarf Eitri, Thor forged Stormbreaker, an incredibly powerful axe based on the weapon wielded by Beta Ray Bill in Marvel Comics. Much like with Mjolnir, Thor is able to channel vast amounts of lightning through the axe.
The axe nearly didn't get finished. however, and Groot had to cut off his arm so that it could be fashioned to the axe blade. Groot's arm became the handle of Stormbreaker, making him instrumental in the origin of an important weapon from the Marvel Universe. But despite Groot's involvement in the creation of Stormbreaker, his sudden death in Infinity War doesn't have any impact on the axe. Groot disappears with the snap, but Stormbreaker remains in one piece rather than disappearing with him.
Here's why Stormbreaker wasn't affected by the snap. When Groot cut off his arm, it became like any other severed limb and ceased being a part of him. When Groot sacrificed himself to save his friends in Guardians of the Galaxy, pieces of him were left behind. They were no longer a part of Groot. The same is true with his arm, which is now just an axe handle, and thus doesn't disappear from existence when Groot does.
However, this fact doesn't diminish the role Groot plays in a pivotal moment in the movie. Groot is still the reason why the axe is able to be completed. While it unfortunately doesn't serve its intended purpose in Infinity War -- which was killing Thanos -- Stormbreaker is the weapon that ultimately kills the Mad Titan in the beginning of Endgame, and it factors heavily into the movie's final battle when it's wielded by both Thor and Captain America. | weapons_science |

As a result, they are incredibly under-resourced, as Iñigo Guevara recounts here. It is an excellent article; if you have any interest in Mexican issues, you should read it.
But he does say one interesting thing with which I think I disagree:
For the last decade — 2006 to date — Mexico’s entire defense procurement has been limited to supporting its internal security and civil defense roles. Only very few items are actually considered military ...
Mexico’s Air Force is running dangerously low in this capacity and requires a replacement for its obsolete F-5 supersonic fighters. Likewise the Navy will need to field a new generation of ocean going frigates and amphibious ships that can navigate beyond the exclusive economic zone and the Army will need to begin replacement of its museum-grade armor and artillery.
For those skeptics — I know you are out there — who will ask does Mexico really need a squadron of supersonic fighters? … or a squadron of blue water frigates? … or a brigade of armored fighting vehicles? … the answer is yes, absolutely yes. Mexico — like all other modern states of its size — needs at least a token defensive capability to provide a minimum deterrent against unknowns and uncertainties. Why? Because the best weapon in a country’s arsenal is the one that it never has to use.
I agree that the best weapon is one that never has to be used. But I do not understand why that means buying useless weapons! And it hard for me to envisage the circumstances under which supersonic fighters or an armored brigade would be useful for Mexico. (I can hazily see a use for blue-water frigates ... but only hazily.) Mexico pulled out of the Rio Treaty in 2004, but that treaty provided only the vaguest defense guarantees.* So nothing has changed. Mexico still falls under the American defense blanket in terms of extra-continental threats ... and cannot possibly defend itself against the United States.
Moreover, unlike Canada, the United States does not expect Mexico to help deal with extra-continental threats. And unlike Canadian voters, Mexican voters do not seem to expect their country to do so.
Sure, Mexico can afford an armored brigade, a blue-water navy, and modern fighter jets, but they would seem to be utterly useless even for deterrence. So why bother?
I wish Jussi Jalonen still came around here; I think he may have thoughts on this issue.
* Article 3 of the Rio Treaty reads “The High Contracting Parties agree that an armed attack by any State against an American State shall be considered as an attack against all the American States and, consequently, each one of the said Contracting Parties undertakes to assist in meeting the attack in the exercise of the inherent right of individual or collective self-defense recognized by Article 51 of the Charter of the United Nations.”
That is a far cry from NATO: “The Parties agree that an armed attack against one or more of them in Europe or North America shall be considered an attack against them all and consequently they agree that, if such an armed attack occurs, each of them, in exercise of the right of individual or collective self-defence recognised by Article 51 of the Charter of the United Nations, will assist the Party or Parties so attacked by taking forthwith, individually and in concert with the other Parties, such action as it deems necessary, including the use of armed force.” | weapons_science |

It is more known today for plane racing because of it’s extreme manuvability and the speed at which it travels. During the racing the Spit fire is put through all kinds of obstacles. From flying over make believe bridges to flying under steel fencing that is installed by our friends at www.overlandparkfencecompany.com
The real name of the spit fire is the “Submarine Spitfire”. The plane is a single seat and was designed for short range high intensity fighting. Although the name appears to point to a submarine killer the bulk of the Spit Fires work was to battle the German Luftwaffe.
What made the Spit fire so effective was the shape and thinness of the well known wing. Because of the thin wing the spit fire was faster and easier to handle than there counterparts. Hence making a great inceptor of the larger German Luftwaffe. The spits fires we equipped with four guns. There was a problem with the guns. They worked fine at low altitudes, but at high altitudes the guns would freeze up. Eventually the guns were equipped with a red heavy cloth to prevent the cold air and dirt from jamming the gun. Another problem with the gun they found is that it wasn’t large enough to take down large planes. In fact it took and average of 4200 bullets to bring down a large bomber. | weapons_science |

A tactical bipod is a vital asset because it boosts your flexibility as you can easily rotate or tilt it.
Do sufficient research on tactical bipods so that you can make the most informed decision. There are different materials such as the carbon fiber and aluminum plus polymer used for making the tactical bipods which determine the strength and stiffness of the bipod. The numerous tactical bipod companies make it tricky for some rifle owners to purchase from the right dealer. Consider the following factors when choosing a tactical bipod dealer.
Consider the licensing of the tactical bipod dealer. Find out if the technicians of the tactical bipod dealer have enough training to offer the best tactical bipod installation and maintenance services.
Besides verifying the skills of the tactical bipod dealer, you should also check that the authorities in charge of construction services have authorized them to sell tactical bipods. If a tactical bipod dealer is not willing to show you the needed licenses and credentials, they could be hiding something crucial but reputable tactical bipod companies with clean credentials show their documents without any problem.
Consider the experience of the tactical bipod dealer as well. By visiting the tactical bipod dealer’s site, you will know if they have the tactical bipod that you are looking for and their market experience. If you have any question on the tactical bipod you are looking for and the experience of tactical bipod dealer, use the contact details in the website . Consider buying from a tactical bipod dealer who has been in the field longer as this strongly suggests they offer durable and quality tactical bipod to survive the stiff competition for longer.
The cost of the tactical bipod dealer is another thing to look at when choosing dealer to buy from. When you have considered the above tips and narrowed down to a few tactical bipod companies, request them for tactical bipod price estimates. Buy from a tactical bipod dealer whose bipods are affordable after comparing their rates but without compromising on the bipod quality and durability.
The reputation of the tactical bipod dealer you intend to purchase from also determine your choice. Find reviews and testimonials from the company’s past customers to get an idea of the quality of tactical bipods you can expect when you buy from the dealer. You can get these reviews from the tactical bipod dealer’s website and third-party websites. | weapons_science |

Article Researched and Written By John Duffer
Disclaimer - This manual is intended to create uniformity among Grays officers in the use of their sword, particularly when the battalion is on parade. It is not here presented as a historical tome and is not necessarily representative of what an actual Civil War era officer may have done, but rather what our Colonel has selected for the instruction of his Officers.
DRAWING AND RETURNING THE SWORD
Orders will not be given to draw or return, the drawn sword indicates the Officer is in command of his men – for example the Captain would draw when his orderly Sergeant indicates the Company is formed, the Battalion Commander when the Adjutant reports the Battalion is formed, etc. As in "Load in nine times" the motions below are for instructive purposes and are not rigidly followed in practice. The sword, when on duty, will be hooked up—the sword reversed, edge to the rear, hilt behind the arm.
TO DRAW SWORD - ONE TIME AND TWO MOTIONS
(First Motion) - Bring the right hand quickly to the first position of the salute—palm to the left; at the same moment seize the scabbard with the left, and turn the sword, bringing the hilt to the front; seize the gripe with the right hand.
(Second Motion) - Draw the sword from the scabbard by extending the right arm easily; turn the hand and bring the sword to The Carry.
TO RETURN SWORD - ONE TIME AND TWO MOTIONS
(First Motion) - Raise the sword perpendicularly, point up, the flat of the blade opposite the right eye, the guard at the height of the shoulder—elbow supported by the body; carry the hand to the left opposite the left shoulder, and reverse the sword; insert the point of the blade in the scabbard which is held by the left hand.
(Second Motion) - Insert the blade, withdraw the hand from the gripe; with the left hand turn the sword, back of the blade to the front, hilt behind the arm; drop the hands by the side.
Ideally you should be able to return the sword without looking. This can be quickly learned if the thumb and forefinger of the left hand are placed near the mouth of the hilt to serve as a guide and practiced in front of a mirror until you can shut your eyes.
THE CARRY / SHOULDER
The Carry is the default position, and that used at the command to Shoulder—ARMS
The arm nearly extended, back of the blade against the shoulder, hand resting against the hip; sword supported by the thumb and two first fingers, extended and placed on the gripe in such a manner that in raising the sword to the salute, etc., the fingers can be introduced inside the guard, and a firm grasp of the sword obtained without effort. Note the blade should be vertical and not pointed over the shoulder.
From the Carry, drop the blade of the sword by the right side, hand against the leg, the point a little advanced and about two inches from the ground.
From the Carry, angle the blade across the across the body, supported by the left hand, which is held opposite the shoulder. At the command to Shoulder—ARMS use the left hand to place the blade against the right shoulder, resuming the Carry, and drop the left hand by the side.
SALUTE / PRESENT
To Salute – Three Times (or Pauses)
(One) At the distance of six paces from the person to be saluted, raise the sword or saber perpendicularly, the point up, the flat of the blade opposite to the right eye, the guard at the height of the shoulder, the elbow supported on the body.
(Two) Drop the point of the sword or saber by extending the arm, so that the right hand may be brought to side of the right thigh, and remain in that position until the person to whom the salute is rendered shall be passed, or shall have passed six paces.
(Three) Raise the sword or saber smartly, and resume the position of Carry.
If Present—ARMS be given follow numbers One & Two above, remaining at Two until "Shoulder—ARMS" is ordered and then return to the Carry.
Safety is of the utmost importance to the Western Independent Grays’ staff and, with that in mind, weapons inspections will be an integral part of our safety program. We want to insure that everyone has a safe and enjoyable experience at our events, and our musket inspections go a long way toward that goal.
During the first Battalion Assembly, usually on the Saturday morning of an event, we will hold our weapons inspections. In order to keep a fair, unbiased, and impartial inspection, the Company Commanders will inspect the Company to their right. The furthermost right Company will inspect the furthermost left Company. If there are only two companies, the Company Commanders will trade Companies.
The inspecting Officers will be accompanied by the 1st sergeant of the company being inspected. Any soldier whose weapon does not conform to our safety standards will have his name recorded by accompanying First Sergeant. The First Sergeant will be the one who gives the inspecting officer the soldier’s name – not the soldier himself. This way, no company wags can get by with creating a name or using someone else’s.
RIGHT SHOULDER SHIFT
The point of the blade held downwards and a little to the right, about a foot off the ground—back of the blade to the left—sword held easily by the right hand. Default position at the run or double quick.
Reverse the sword; rest the point in front of the left toe; clasp the left hand over the right, both resting on the guard, hilt and edge to the right; at the same time bring the right foot six inches to the rear, the left knee slightly bent. At Attention or Order—ARMS, resume the position of Order.
ROUTE STEP / IN PLACE REST
The sword and scabbard may be carried at the wearer’s pleasure.
A number of manuals were studied in connection with the above, (most only cover the Salute and Carry) as well as articles by Dom Dal Bello of the AOP and T. R. Wheeley of the Lazyjacks Mess. The bulk of the WIG manual is based on Ellsworth’s 1859 work “Manual of Arms For Light Infantry, Adapted to the Rifle Musket, with, or without, the priming attachment, arranged for the U.S. Zouave Cadets,” and from a drill session held by battalion officers at Fort Gaines earlier this year.

That is why almost all experts, agree that, in some cases, a knife is a far more effective weapon than a gun—which also makes it an excellent self-defense weapon. As a result, it is critical to ensure that your hidden knives are not just for show; rather, they are available to save you when you are in danger.
We can use a variety of weapons for self-defense, but knives are less legally questionable than firearms or blunt concealed weapons. Self-defense is an important subject where one can explore how to use a knife for self-defense can one of the many options. Those who are serious about it have probably considered the weapon that would best suit them in various situations.
The Hidden Blade Origin
The Hidden Blade’s first appearance dates to the fifth century. Darius, one of the original assassins, used the device to assassinate King Xerxes I. Its design was simple. It was made up of a large blade that extended from a release system on the wrist guard. Darius passed down his Hidden Blade to his descendant. The Levantine Brotherhood of Assassins eventually contributed to the creation of the first concrete design for the Hidden Blade.
After enemies of the Levantine Assassins began recognizing members by their amputated ring fingers, the Hidden Blade evolved further. Altair Ibn-la’Ahad, a Levantine mentor, revised the Hidden Blade in the 13th century.
Purpose of Hidden Knives
The primary goal of hidden knives is to provide easy concealment with increased accessibility. When providing these self-defense tools, make certain that both of these objectives are met. The location you choose to hide your knife should provide you with a natural position to easily draw it. Positioning can be done both inside and outside of your waistband. Furthermore, clipping the knife outside the pocket can be a good idea.
Many more people are aware of the Hidden Blade now than ever before. With the influence of action movies computer games even Ninjas and ancient Roman soldiers also carried blades in their arm gauntlets to combat enemies. The idea was that if someone was unexpectedly attacked, they could rely on the hidden knife to protect them.
Where to Conceal Carry a Knife
There are numerous places on your body where you can conceal a knife. The most common method is to conceal a knife in one’s waistband. The advantage of concealed carrying is that the knife is out of sight and easily accessible. Most people wear a sheath around their waist to protect themselves from the knife and to keep it in place. Other common places to conceal a knife are in a boot, under the shirt, in a pocket, clipped to the waist, belt, or strapped to your leg.
How Should You Hold a Knife in Self-Defense?
The way you hold your knives demonstrates your ability and strength to your opponent. This gives you an advantage over them. As a result, it has a minor impact on the battle situation. To defend yourself from someone, you must learn a variety of grip techniques. These approaches enable you to go further and be more efficient in the situation.
When using a forward grip, the blade extends up to the thumb side of the hand. A reverse grip with the blade facing down is more powerful. A reverse grip allows you to stab downward with more force than a forward grip allows you to stab outward. You must be careful and have more practice with these styles because they can be dangerous to you, and if you are not holding the knife properly, you can get scratches or worse, unexpected things happen from it, so you must devote more time if you want to learn and become an expert by doing these styles.
Rules and Limitations of Hidden Knives
When it comes to knives, it is critical to be aware of your state’s laws. Some states have very specific laws regarding when a knife is considered a deadly weapon, while others are very broad. Some states allow the concealed knife to carry with a CCW license, while others only allow firearms. Failure to stay current on this topic could result in a felony and the loss of your rights.
A knife, especially one that is carried regularly, is an imperfect tool. It’s a bad situation to have to use one for self-defense, but it could save your life. According to John Benner of the Tactical Defense Institute, when a knife is drawn in combat, everyone gets cut. Carry a knife, but be aware of the potential consequences.
Knives are considered deadly force weapons by the courts, so they should only be used in situations where the individual reasonably believes he or she is in danger of serious bodily harm or to protect another person from such harm but the emphasis on the crucial role of knives in self-defense must be taken seriously.
Important Factors You Need to Consider
Ability, Opportunity, and Intent for your use of deadly force to be justified, your threat must demonstrate the ability, opportunity, and intent to cause death or great bodily harm.
Ability can represent a variety of things, such as the person’s physical stature or skill level, the presence of a weapon, the presence of additional attackers, or anything that gives the attacker the ability to inflict serious bodily harm, explains Kacey McBroom. To clearly pose a deadly threat, a person must have something that gives them a distinct advantage over you, whether it’s a weapon, their size, their physical skill, or some other discernible means.
McBroom defines opportunity as the immediate opportunity to exercise that ability, as viewed through the lens of proximity. McBroom explains that the threat must be close enough for them to use whatever weapon or physical advantage they have. A person armed with a knife, for example, would have to be much closer than a person armed with a gun to use their weapon against you.
According to McBroom, the intent is the verbally or physically expressed desire to cause physical harm. Intent can be demonstrated by saying, “I’m going to kill you,” pointing a gun at you, or winding up a club to swing at you. Someone who is already physically attempting to harm you is clearly displaying intent.
All three elements must be present for the use of lethal force to be justified and defendable. Someone standing behind you in the checkout line with an open-carry handgun has the ability and opportunity but is not displaying intent. Someone holding a knife on the other side of a fence screaming, “I’m going to kill you,” demonstrates ability and intent but lacks opportunity due to the fence.
According to McBroom, there are times when drawing your knife is appropriate to fend off an attacker who is displaying ability and intent, while other times it is better to keep your blade concealed until the last moment. Every situation is unique and acquiring the knowledge and experience to make those decisions is part of the responsibility of carrying a knife for self-defense. That is why it is critical to seek proper training, McBroom added. | weapons_science |

Many believe that the explosion was linked to the development of a nuclear powered cruise missile promised by Putin last year.
Radiation levels in nearby towns spiked to 20 times their regular levels.
Naturally, President Donald Trump was quick to tweet about it.
The President claimed the United States was "learning much" from the explosion before bragging that we have more advanced technology.
The United States gave up efforts to build nuclear powered cruise missiles half a century ago. They're too dangerous to test and too impractical to execute.
So, Trump either just blabbed on Twitter that the United States does in fact have a covert nuclear powered cruise missile program, or he lied to engage Putin in a pissing contest of nuclear proportions.
Neither option is a comfort to experts in the field.
Even the former Ambassador to Russia was like "lol wut?".
Bulletin of the Atomic Senior Fellow Stephen Schwartz wanted to know if the President was "baselessly boasting or divulging secrets?"
And, honestly, so do we.
Good luck, girl!

Edge tools are among the first tool forms, with surviving primitive axes dated to 8000 B.C.. Early axes were created by “wrapping” the red hot iron around a questionnaire, yielding a person’s eye of the axe. The steel bit, introduced in the 18th century, was laid in to the fold in front and hammered into an edge. The side opposite the bit was later extended into a poll, for better balance and to provide a hammering surface.
The handles took on many different shapes, some indicative or origin, others associated with function. The length of the handle had more to do with the arc of the swing that has been required. Felling axes took a complete swing and therefore needed the longest handles. Early axes have their handles fitted through a person’s eye from the top down and the handles remain in place by locking in to the taper of a person’s eye, to allow them to be removed for sharpening.
Later axes, however, have their handles fit through a person’s eye from the underside up, and have a wedge driven in from the top. This permanently locks the handle to the axe and was much preferred by American woodsmen. Many axes found today have been discarded since the handle was split or broken off. Generally they can be bought at a portion of these value and, with another handle, can be restored with their original condition. Most axe collectors have a share of older flea-market handles that they use for this restoration. Like plane blades, axe handles might have been replaced several times through the life of the tool. Provided that the handle is “proper,” meaning, the proper shape and length for the function, it won’t detract that much from its value.
Pricing of antique axes runs the entire gamut from a couple of dollars to several hundred. Samples of well-made axes would are the Plumb, White, Kelly, Miller and numerous others. Beyond these were axes of sometimes lesser quality, but built to a price, and sold by the thousands. Exceptional examples might include handmade axes, possibly from the local blacksmith, or from a factory that specialized in the handmade article, regardless of price.
There are several kinds of axes on the market such as for example:
SINGLE BIT FELLING AXE:
This axe is known as the workhorse of the axe family. It is just a simple design, varying from the 2 ½ lb. head used by campers to the 4 ½ to 7 lb Viking axes . head employed for forest work. You will find heads utilized in lumbermen’s competition which can be as much as 12lbs.. With the advent of the two-man crosscut saw, and later the power chain saw, tree no longer are taken down by axes. The axe is more an application tool for clearing branches off the downed tree, and splitting firewood.
DOUBLE BIT FELLING AXE:
Double bit axes also have straight handles, unlike any modern axe. Virtually all axe handles are hickory. Hickory has both strength and spring, and was found very early to be the best for axe handles. Starting in the late 1800’s a number of axe manufactures adopted intricate logos that were embossed or etched on the top of the axe. Almost 200 different styles have already been identified up to now and these also have become an interesting collectible.
The broad axe is much less common while the felling axe, and will be a lot larger. It’s purpose was to square up logs into beams. It used a much shorter swing that the felling axe, therefore required a much shorter handle. The identifying feature of a number of these axes is the chisel edge, that allowed the rear side of the axe to be dead flat. Because of the, it posed a challenge of clearance for the hands. To help keep the hands from being scraped, the handle was canted or swayed away from the flat plane of the axe. Here is the feature which should often be looked for when buying a wide axe. If the edge is chisel-sharpened, then your handle should really be swayed. As with the felling axe, the broad axe heads have many different patterns, mostly a result of geographical preference.
The goose wing axe is one of the very most artistic looking tools on the market, and it takes it’s name from its resemblance to the wing of a goose in flight. It functions exactly while the chisel-edged broad axe, except that the American version has the handle socket more heavily bent or canted up from the plane of the blade. These axes are large and difficult to forge. Many show cracks and repairs and an original handle is rare. Signed pieces, particularly by American makers, mostly Pennsylvania Dutch, are considerably more valuable. Also worth focusing on is the difference in value between American and European axes, the American ones being worth considerably more. Several well-known 19th century American makers whose names appear imprinted on axes are Stohler, Stahler, Sener, Rohrbach, Addams, and L.& I.J. White. | weapons_science |

It was a snub nosed, hump backed little biplane with staggered single bay wings. Its lower wing had a pronounced dihedral, which contrasted with the flat top wing and accentuated the fuselage hump, which housed the breeches of two Vickers .303 machine guns. This hump was how the F.1 became known as the Camel.
The success of the Camel was due to its outstanding maneuverability which resulted from the concentration of all its masses within a small area of fuselage. The engine, guns, pilot, and fuel were all located within seven feet of fuselage length. The Camel's sensitivity to the controls made it the supreme dog fighting airplane of World War I. More enemy aircraft (1,294) were shot down by the Camel than any other single type aircraft.
The print depicts Camel D9649 which was the aircraft usually flown by David Ingalls. It was one of one hundred built by the firm of Clayton & Shuttleworth.

(70 min./Dutch/1981) (Code: 056/02)
With a clever montage of 1940s/1950s news clips and Civil Defence and military training films overlaid with offbeat contemporary songs about The Bomb, the creators of THE ATOMIC CAFÉ produced a film that will amaze the post-Cold War generation and cause those who lived during that period to ask, "Could that be us?" This docudrama begins with the Trinity atomic test blast in New Mexico in 1945, then proceeds through the annihilation of Hiroshima and Nagasaki and the subsequent atomic test at Bikini atoll. With the acquisition of the A-bomb by the Soviets in 1949 - my birth year - and the Korean War, the film gets into the meat of the piece, which is a visual commentary on the paranoia about the Red Menace and Nuclear Armageddon which gripped the United States during Eisenhower's two terms as President. It is alternately funny, sobering, and shocking.

However, using airsoft grenades can offer you extra power on the battlefield when you are using spring loaded mechanisms.
Even though CO2 airsoft guns can be purchased in all formats, they're hottest as airsoft pistols. Powered by green gas or CO2 in the gas chamber, gas airsoft guns are incredibly powerful and as near to the real thing as you can imagine. With a blowback mechanism, CO2 airsoft guns give users a genuine gun like feel whenever they fire a shot. However, these airsoft guns are generally the costliest available in the market and are advised only for enthusiasts and collectors.
Airsoft guns, whether they are airsoft rifles or pistols, may be manufactured as pure toys [made of mostly toy plastic) and not realistic in appearance or may be manufactured to pass for the real thing; having the weight, mechanisms, touch, etc. of the real firearm i.e. colt 45, M16, AK47, etc. The necessary bright orange tip found on all airsoft guns required by US law and regulated by local state, county, and city ordinances and the actual airsoft gun propulsion system isolates airsoft guns from real guns.
Real guns fire a fatal propellant using a form firing pin against an explosive. Airsoft guns fire a non-lethal propellant using a burst of air. The technique used to generate that burst of air distinguishes airsoft gun operations i.e. spring, gas or electric.
Airsoft gun history began in Japan around 1970. Possessing any kind of firearm was illegal and punishable by Japanese law. Yet, shooting a pistol was a personal urge.
The economic principle of 'supply and demand' surfaced in that in which a demand exists, a supply will follow. Manufacturers introduced airsoft guns that addressed the Japan demand for firearm usage, but without the lethal effects that Japanese law addressed. By the early 1990's that supply reached the United States addressing our variation of demand. We wanted firearm usage, but without the cost and lethal affects that the true gun characterized. The Airsoft Gun industry gave Japan a boost within their economy and even a better boost when those products reached export levels that included United States.
The 'SPRING' airsoft guns tend to be the decision of airsoft guns utilized by the very first time airsoft players. The start- up costs and the simple operation are a certain advantage for the novice. Whilst the name implies; the ball player simply cocks the spring before firing the airsoft gun. Whether an airsoft pistol, rifle, or automatic, the gamer cocks the spring, before firing the gun.
The 'GAS' airsoft guns were the next to enter the collections and skirmishes. The price factors increased some, but so did the firing distance, realism in usage, and simplicity of operations. Built in to the airsoft gun or the magazine for that airsoft gun is a gas powered storage system that, when triggered, will propel the BB or pellet from the gun's barrel , empty a newspaper as fast as you can pull the trigger, and (if the airsoft gun is just a 'gas-blowback') provides for the recoil operation of the gun's receiver. | weapons_science |

“The construction of the next-generation FFX Batch-III frigates is part of South Korea’s naval modernization strategy, which is mainly aimed at countering the increasing threat posed by North Korea’s new ballistic missile-armed submarines.
“The new FFX Batch-III frigates will also help South Korea increase its military presence and counter the Chinese naval expansion in the East Asia region. The new frigates will be built by Hanwha Ocean to replace the Ulsan-class vessels that were inducted in the early 1990s.
“According to GlobalData’s Global Naval Vessels and Surface Combatants Market 2023-2033 forecast, South Korea is estimated to spend approximately $19.4 billion on the procurement of various categories of naval vessels over the next ten years. The contribution of the frigate segment to the country’s overall naval vessel market is expected to be around 25%.
“The high level of indigenization due to the presence of a robust shipbuilding infrastructure has proven South Korea to be a major exporter of naval platforms worldwide, with domestic companies like Hanwha at the forefront.
“Over the last decade, North Korea has significantly strengthened the operational capabilities of its missiles and naval force. Even though North Korea tends to exaggerate the capabilities of its military, devising an effective strategy to detect and neutralize the submarines is of utmost importance for South Korean policymakers.
“The FFX Batch-III frigates will be equipped with a wide range of indigenous sensors and weapon systems to effectively undertake anti-submarine roles and deter underwater threats originating from North Korea.
“The incorporation of a state-of-the-art hybrid propulsion system consisting of electric and gas turbine modes will enable the frigates to achieve a high degree of acoustic stealth essential for conducting anti-submarine warfare. They may also be integrated with unmanned underwater vehicles (UUV) for conducting anti-submarine operations.
“These specifications clearly indicate South Korea’s focus on safeguarding its territorial waters against complex and varied underwater threats by deploying modern naval platforms.”

Freyja’s Fridays - Viking Swords When people think of the Norsemen they often think of them using great big axes to slaughter their foes, this is only half true. A viking’s most prized weapon was in fact the sword, or in their native tongue a ‘Sverd.’ They would often be so highly prized they would be passed down through generations of a family and they would even name them and no not like Brian or David, but names such as Leggbir meaning Leg biter or Gunnlogi, flame of battle. They would also decorate the hilts with runes to give them aid in battle. It was also said that if a Viking swore an oath upon his sword and then broke the oath, his sword would fail him in battle. | weapons_science |

How to use the oil tank shot blasting machine reasonably?
The working principle of the oil tank shot blasting machine is very simple. It uses the centrifugal principle to shoot the projectile at a speed of 100m/s. . The shot blasting machine separates the projectile from the debris, the debris is removed, and the projectile is recycled.
The structure and working principle of the oil tank shot blasting machine.
If roughly divided, the shot blasting machine can be divided into two parts. That is, the centrifugal ejection part and the recovery and separation part. The centrifugal projectile is responsible for throwing the projectile into a certain fan at a certain speed, clearing the debris on the bridge deck, increasing the friction coefficient and surface roughness of the bridge deck, and enhancing the adhesion of the bridge deck. The recovery device is responsible for recovering projectiles and sundries, and separating the projectiles and sundries. Recover projectiles for reuse and remove debris.
How to use the oil tank shot blasting machine reasonably.
1. The number of projectiles loaded into the projectile should be reasonable. Too little quantity will affect work efficiency; too much quantity will lead to accumulation of projectiles and affect the efficiency of projectile ejection.
2. Check and clean the parts of the projectile machine in time. It is necessary to clean up the residue of the projectile machine in time to avoid damage to the parts of the projectile machine by the residue. Replace the worn parts inside the projectile machine in time to avoid damage to the projectile machine due to component damage.
3. Replenish projectiles in time. The projectile will inevitably break during continuous use. We need to clean up damaged projectiles in time and replenish new projectiles. By replenishing enough projectiles, the working efficiency of shot blasting can be kept unchanged.
Through the work of the shot blasting machine, the viscosity and anti-skid performance of the surface can be increased, and hidden cracks in the surface can be found in time. Therefore, the shot blasting machine is of great significance to enhance the quality of the road surface and solve the hidden dangers of the situation in time. | weapons_science |

China is fielding an ASBM, referred to as the DF-21D that is a theater-range ballistic missile equipped with a maneuverable reentry vehicle (MaRV) designed to hit moving ships at sea. This missile provides the PLA the capability to attack aircraft carriers in the western Pacific. The CSS-5 Mod 5 has a range exceeding 1,500 km [about 810 nm] and is armed with a maneuverable warhead. It can approach its target at the hypersonic speed at a near-vertical ballistic angle, capable of executing a series of complex maneuvers during its descent, greatly complicating defensive counter-fire.
The warhead is thought to be composed of numerous cluster munitions that would spread out across the deck of the supercarrier, disabling or destroying exposed aircraft, radar dishes, and antennae as well as killing the flight deck crew, achieving a mission kill without necessarily sinking the ship. The recent DF-26 has a reported range of 1,800 miles to 2,500 miles, may also have an anti-ship capability. The PLA Navy is also deploying a wide range of advanced ASCMs, the new YJ-12 ASCM provides an increased threat to naval assets, due to its long-range and supersonic speeds. It is capable of being launched from H-6 bombers.
The implication for the U.S. Navy is that it needs aircraft and weapons with longer ranges. The Navy is “going to have to adopt an offensive mindset,” naval strategist Bryan Clark, of the Center for Strategic and Budgetary Assessments, told the House Armed Services Committee’s seapower and projection forces subcommittee.
“We want US Navy cruisers and destroyers to be able to stand off from outside of potential adversaries’ direct counter-fire range, and be able to safely engage and destroy high-value targets they may be engaging against from extended range, well beyond potential adversary ranges that we may have to face, said Rob McHenry, a program manager in the Tactical Technology Office at DARPA.
According to US Navy, “As the air and missile defense capabilities of potential adversaries rapidly advance, the ability of the U.S. Armed Forces to employ short-range precision-guided weapons such as Joint Direct Attack Munitions (JDAMs) will be increasingly challenged. China and Russia are also increasingly fielding sophisticated electronic warfare systems that can jam the GPS and other communication links.
LRASM – a modified version of the Joint Air-to-Surface Standoff Missile – was developed as part of an urgent operational need for U.S. Pacific Command for a modern air launched anti-ship cruise missile. The capability to employ precision-guided weapons at standoff ranges in large numbers will be necessary to ensure operational success in any high-end engagement. Advanced weapons such as the Joint Air-to-Surface Standoff Missile—Extended Range (JASSM–ER), the Longe Range Anti-Ship Missile (LRASM), the Tomahawk missile and others will be key elements in attack execution.”“I need weapons systems of increased lethality that go faster, go further, and are more survivable,” PACOM commander Adm. Harry Harris told the Senate.”
LRASM long-range precision-guided missile
The LRASM is a stealthy long-range precision-guided missile that is designed to meet the anti-surface warfare (ASuW) needs of both services in contested environments. The LRASM boasts a range of well over 200 nautical miles, a payload of 1,000 pounds, and the ability to strike at nearly the speed of sound. Armed with a 1,000 lb penetrator and blast-fragmentation warhead, the LRASM utilizes a multimode sensor, weapon datalink, and an enhanced digital anti-jam Global Positioning System to detect and destroy specific targets within a group of ships.
With a range of at least 200 nautical miles, LRASM can be used against enemy ships, shallow submarines, drones, aircraft and land-based targets, according to Lockheed Martin developers
The LRASM is designed to detect and destroy specific targets within groups of ships by employing advanced technologies that reduce dependence on intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance platforms, network links and GPS navigation in electronic warfare environments. Autonomous guidance algorithms should allow the LRASM to use less-precise target cueing data to pinpoint specific targets in the contested domain.
Human beings tell the missile where the enemy fleet is, which ship to strike, and provide it with a continuous stream of data—the missile takes care of everything else. Using artificial intelligence, the missile takes data and makes decisions all on its own. Anti-access and area denial (A2/AD) environments could be countered by highly autonomous systems like LRASM.
“Once the missile flies that far, it has a requirement to be able to independently detect and validate the target that it was shot at. Finding that target, the missile will have to be able to penetrate the air defenses and finally, once it gets to that target, it has to have a lethal capability to make a difference once it gets there.”
LRASM is first guided by the ship that launched it, then by satellite. The missile is jam-resistant and can carry on even if it loses contact with the Global Positioning System. As part of the targeting system, the missile can be set to fly to a series of waypoints, flying around static threats, land features, and commercial shipping. LRASM can detect threats between waypoints and navigate around them. If it decides it would be entering the engagement range of an enemy ship not on the target list, LRASM will fly around the ship, even skipping waypoints that might lie within enemy range and going on to the next one.
After locating the enemy fleet, it dives to sea-skimming altitude to avoid close-in defenses. LRASM then sizes up the enemy fleet, locates its target, and calculates the desired “mean point of impact”—the exact spot the missile should aim for, taking into account the accuracy of the missile—to ensure the missile does not miss. In most instances that is the exact center of the ship, with the angle of the ship in relation to the missile taken into consideration, reported Kyle Mizokami in PM. Using AI and datalinks, multiple LRASMs can launch a coordinated attack on an enemy fleet.
LRASM, a collaborative effort between Lockheed, the Office of Naval Research and the Defense Advanced Project Research Agency, or DARPA.
The LRASM programme supports the US Navy’s Offensive Anti-Surface Warfare (OASuW) effort to improve its ability to engage and destroy high-value targets from extended range. Offensive Anti-Surface Warfare (OASuW) will be an offensive weapon system that can be air, surface, and subsurface launched in the maritime battle space environment. OASuW will be a vital component of the Joint Force Anti-Surface Warfare capability and incorporate new and emergent technologies to support an increased offensive strike capability. Due to emerging threats, the fleet issued an Urgent Operational Needs Statement (UONS) that identified a capability gap for a long-range anti-ship missile to be filled by 2018.
The joint DARPA – Navy Long Range Anti-Ship Missile (LRASM) program is investing in advanced technologies to provide a leap ahead in U.S. surface warfare capability.
LRASM employs a multi-mode sensor, weapon data link and an enhanced digital anti-jam global positioning system to detect and destroy specific targets within a group of ships, Lockheed officials said. LRASM is engineered with all-weather capability and a multi-modal seeker designed to discern targets.
Beyond their anti-jamming digital GPS, therefore, LRASM will also rely on a 2-way data link, a radar sensor that can detect ships (and might also be usable for navigation), and a day/night camera for positive identification and final targeting. In its second flight test conducted in November 2014, the missile receiving inflight targeting updates via data-link and scoring a direct hit on the moving ship target.
The program also focuses on innovative terminal survivability approaches and precision lethality in the face of advanced counter measures. In 2015 test, in the final portion of the flight, the missile detected, tracked and avoided an object that was deliberately placed in the flight pattern to demonstrate LRASM’s obstacle-avoidance algorithms.A key feature of this missile is a terminal guidance system that would allow it to reach a target even if the military were denied access to GPS signals or other network links.
The Lockheed Martin recently tested Joint-Air-to-Ground Missile (JAGM) that has a multi-mode guidance section with semi-active laser (SAL) sensor for precision-strike and a fire-and-forget millimeter wave (MMW) radar for moving targets in all-weather conditions. JAGM can engage several different stationary and moving targets in the bad weather, smoke and dust, and advanced countermeasures. Laser and radar guided engagement modes enable JAGM to strike accurately and reduce collateral damage, Lockheed Martin officials say
Designed to address the requirements of the USAF and the US Navy warfighters in challenging environments, the LRASM is to be integrated onto the air force’s B-1B bomber and on the Navy’s F/A-18E/F multirole fighter aircraft. The US Air Force (USAF) has received into service the first Lockheed Martin AGM-158C Long-Range Anti-Ship Missiles (LRASMs), the company announced on 18 December 2018 . In USAF service the LRASM will be carried by the Rockwell B-1B Lancer bomber (up to 24 missiles in its internal weapons bay), while the USN is integrating it on board its Boeing F/A-18E/F Super Hornets (eight missiles on its underwing pylons). With the first LRASMs now with the USAF, the USN should begin receiving its missiles in 2019.
Lockheed Martin Corp. was awarded an $84.1 million contract by the U.S. Navy for design and engineering services on four existing missile systems, the Defense Department announced. In Feb 2019 the company was awarded a $33.4 million contract as part of a cost reduction initiative in support of the Long Range Anti-Ship Missile for the U.S. Navy.
Lockheed conducts successful flight tests of LRASM
LRASM is armed with a proven 1,000-pound penetrator and blast-fragmentation warhead, Lockheed officials said. With a range of at least 200 nautical miles, LRASM is designed to use next-generation guidance technology to help track and eliminate targets such as enemy ships, shallow submarines, drones, aircraft and land-based targets, according to Lockheed Martin developers.
The LRASM, which is 168-inches long and 2,500 pounds, is currently configured to fire from an Air Force B-1B bomber, Navy surface ship Vertical Launch Tubes and a Navy F-18 carrier-launched fighter. The weapon is expected to be operational from an Air Force B-1B bomber and a Navy F-18 by 2019, Navy statements have said. Earlier Lockheed Martin has successfully carried out a controlled flight test of the US Navy’s long-range anti-ship missile (LRASM) surface-launch variant. Conducted from the navy’s Self Defense Test ship at the Point Mugu Sea Range, California, the event marked the third successful surface-launched LRASM test. The operational LRASM was fired from the MK41 VLS launcher, which flew a pre-planned low-altitude profile, collecting aerodynamics agility data, and then returned to its pre-determined destination.
ViaSat has been contracted to deliver datalink communications for the integration and test phase of the US Navy’s Long Range Anti-Ship Missile (LRASM) programme. The follow-on deal was awarded by Lockheed Martin, and will see ViaSat supply Weapon Data Link (WDL) L-Band Units (LBU) in support of missile test programme’s datalink communications requirements.The weapon system will be able to communicate with launch platforms using the ViaSat datalink solution, as well as provide growth opportunities in the future. The test proved the maturity of the missile, which loaded mission data using the modified Tactical Tomahawk Weapon Control System (TTWCS+), and aligned mission data with a moving ship in a dynamic at-sea environment.
Lockheed Martin Missiles and Fire Control LRASM surface-launch director Scott Callaway said: “This successful flight test demonstrates Lockheed Martin’s readiness to answer the US Navy’s need for new anti-surface warfare capabilities as part of the ‘distributed lethality’ concept. In 2013 and 2014, the LRASM was also tested successfully from a ground-based MK 41 VLS Desert Ship. Lockheed is planning to continue with testing of the LRASM on other surface ship applications, including topside, deck-mounted launchers.
Earlier Lockheed Martin and the U.S. Navy completed the first Long Range Anti-Ship Missile (LRASM) prototype captive-carry flight tests on the F/A-18E/F Super Hornet. The flights were conducted at Patuxent River Naval Air Station, Maryland. These initial airworthiness flight tests used a LRASM mass-simulator vehicle attached to the Navy’s F/A-18E/F to evaluate flight and handling characteristics, as well as to measure structural loads and strains on the aircraft. A future series of tests would gather noise and vibration data between the aircraft and the missile.
“LRASM is a precision-guided, anti-ship standoff missile designed to meet the needs of U.S. Navy and Air Force warfighters in anti-access/area-denial threat environments.” LRASM leverages the state-of-the-art Joint Air to Surface Standoff Missile Extended Range (JASSM-ER) airframe and incorporates additional sensors and systems to achieve a stealthy and survivable subsonic cruise missile. It is 168-inches long, weighs 2,500 pounds, and has a reported range of 500 nautical miles.Featuring a multi-modal sensor, weapon data link, and an enhanced digital anti-jam global positioning system to detect and destroy enemy threats, the LRASM missile is armed with a 1,000lb penetrator and blast-fragmentation warhead.
Lockheed Martin Missiles and Fire Control LRASM programme director David Helsel said: “LRASM has now proven itself in six consecutive flight missions. “The reliability and outstanding capability of LRASM will provide an unmatched weapon to our warfighters in their quest for sea control in contested environments.” Lockheed Martin Missiles and Fire Control LRASM surface-launch director Scott Callaway said: “This successful flight test demonstrates Lockheed Martin’s readiness to answer the US Navy’s need for new anti-surface warfare capabilities as part of the ‘distributed lethality’ concept, which calls for arming even the Navy’s smallest ships with powerful weapons that can hit targets hundreds of miles out.
LRASM is currently only used as an air-launched missile on the US Navy’s F/A-18E/F Super Hornet and the USAF B-1B Lancer. Lockheed Martin has won a firm-fixed-price contract for the production of 137 Lots 4 and 5 long-range anti-ship missiles (LRASM). The contract has been awarded by the US Navy and US Air Force (USAF). It is valued at $414m and will keep the production of the ‘air-launched variant’ of LRASM going on. Lockheed is expected to complete the additional LRASMs on 21 March 2025.
In the future LRASM also will launch from the F-35 Lighting II joint strike fighter, as well as from the Navy Mark 41 shipboard Vertical Launch System. The missile travels at high subsonic speeds, and likely will give way in the future to expected new generations of hypersonic missiles. Submarine-launched versions are under consideration.
BAE Systems advanced targeting sensor for LRASM
BAE Systems has begun production of an advanced targeting sensor for the emerging Long Range Anti-Ship Missile engineered to track and destroy moving targets from great distances semi-autonomously, developers said. BAE Systems is a subcontractor to main LRASM developer Lockheed Martin. Production of the sensor comes shortly after Lockheed received the first LRASM production contract award from the Navy and Air Force.
Along with advances in electronic warfare, cyber-security and communications, LRASM is design to bring semi-autonomous targeting capability to a degree that does not yet exist. As a result, some of its guidance and seeker technology is secret, developers have said. Overall, LRASM employs the multi-mode sensor, weapon data link and an enhanced digital anti-jam global positioning system to detect and destroy specific targets within a group of ships, Lockheed officials said.
The BAE Systems LRASM seeker uses sensor fusion to blend information from the missile’s on-board radar, semi-autonomous guidance, Global Positioning System (GPS) satellite navigation, high-speed secure tactical networking links, and nearby sensors to strike high-value targets from long range while avoiding shipboard missile counter-fire. BAE Systems designers also are working to make the seeker system smaller, more capable, and more efficient to produce.
Developers say the weapon is particularly well suited for the most advanced adversary weapons systems and most high-threat warfare scenarios such as a “near-peer” type of combat engagements. Advanced threat environments are expected to include enemy forces armed with long-range sensors, electronic warfare, tactics for compromising or jamming GPS signals and a host of additional countermeasures designed to thwart incoming surface and air weapons.
“Our differentiator is that our technology can sense, identify, and help target moving ships from a great distance. With our LRASM sensor, we’ve transitioned our world-class electronic warfare capabilities from other platforms to a missile system with extremely low size, weight, and power constraints,” BAE LRASM Program Manager, Joseph Mancini, told Scout Warrior. | weapons_science |

When it comes to sidearms, the Glock pistol stands as a revered choice for its reliability, durability and ease of use. However, to maximize the effectiveness of these firearms, a range of top Glock accessories has emerged, specifically tailored for law enforcement professionals. One of the most sought-after enhancements is the night sights. Law enforcement officers often find themselves navigating through low-light or no-light situations and night sights ensure that they can acquire their targets accurately in such conditions. These sights are equipped with tritium or fiber-optic technology, providing a glowing sight picture, enabling precise aiming even in the darkest environments. Another essential Glock accessory for law enforcement is the extended magazine. In high-stress situations, a standard magazine capacity might prove insufficient, leaving officers vulnerable during critical moments. An extended magazine, with a larger round capacity, grants officers the advantage of more rounds at their disposal before the need to reload, increasing their chances of neutralizing threats effectively and maintaining control of the situation.
Furthermore, a quality holster can significantly impact an officer’s performance. A duty holster designed specifically for Glock Accessories pistols allows for a secure and quick draw, ensuring that the weapon is always within easy reach when needed, yet securely retained during regular movement. A level 2 or 3 retention system provides an extra layer of protection, preventing unauthorized access to the firearm while still permitting a swift draw for the officer. Grip enhancements are also vital components to consider. Law enforcement officers may find themselves engaged in prolonged firefights or situations where their hands may become sweaty or wet. Upgrading to a textured or rubberized grip can improve the officer’s grip on the weapon, reducing the likelihood of slippage and enhancing overall shooting accuracy. Moreover, the addition of a weapon light to the Glock pistol grants officers enhanced situational awareness. Whether clearing a darkened building or conducting a nighttime traffic stop, a weapon light illuminates the target area, assisting officers in identifying potential threats and avoiding unintended confrontations.
Lastly, a suppressor, though not always standard issue, can be a valuable accessory for certain tactical scenarios. A suppressor can reduce muzzle flash, recoil and noise, enabling law enforcement officers to maintain stealth and precision in specific operations where minimizing noise is essential. In conclusion, for law enforcement officers who rely on Glock pistols as their sidearm of choice, the right accessories can elevate their performance and ensure a tactical advantage in critical situations. Night sights, extended magazines, duty holsters, grip enhancements, weapon lights and suppressors are among the top Glock accessories that can aid officers in fulfilling their duty with increased confidence and efficiency. By equipping themselves with these enhancements, law enforcement professionals can stay better prepared to face the challenges of their job, upholding public safety and maintaining order in even the most demanding circumstances. | weapons_science |

Usually, when you buy a bow it also comes with a sight but most archers prefer to choose their own sight. An effective tool caters to the needs of its user just like how anyone who uses a compound bow knows full well that a good sight is essential. It doesn’t matter if you are a tournament shooter or a bow hunter, without the help of a good sight, you stand less of a chance of shooting your targets accurately in low light or at extreme ranges.What you want out of your bow sight will mostly depend on what you want to do with it. Still what qualities should the best bow sights have? We have picked out some of the vital things for you to consider.
Different Type Of Sights
There are several kinds of sights to select from and each has its own advantages. Fixed-pin sights are chosen as the most common among bow hunters as they are the easiest to adjust and also the most reliable. Most sights of this type offer the ability to add or remove pins, which is a plus. Meanwhile, moveable pin sights are totally ideal for distance shooting, together with pendulum models that are made specifically for shooting the bow at a vertical angle. And in case you’re in a competition and need to consistently fire precise shots you might want to consider a designed sight for your bow to suit this particular type of shooting. Competition sights have what it takes to be incredibly accurate and can work with pins, scope points or even laser lights. However, these sights are not meant for hunting and are also at a slightly higher price than other types of bow sights. As always, spend as much as you can afford and if the sight can be transferred to your next bow then congrats, you have just extended your investment.
Just The Right Number Of Pins
Several factors affect the number of pins you really need on your sight. Some prefer just a single pin to aim at (usually their preferred range which is mostly 20 yards), then they will learn how high or low they have to hold their ranges at, meaning aiming above or below that pin in connection with the target’s distance. With just one pin you stand no chance of choosing the wrong pin in times of high pressure or in a hunting situation.For other shooters, they have as many as six pin placements to guarantee that they’re pointing directly at a pin for every 5 or 10-yard increment. In short, your number of pins relies completely on your own preferences and where you hunt.
Visibility In DimLight
There are times that you will find yourself hunting in low light conditions so you better consider having a pin that stands out when those times come. Some pins are illuminated by the nature of the material of which they are made (e.g. fiber optic pins). Others call for a battery to assure that they will light up.Don’t you want to consider this convenient feature? For the most part, sight lights are battery powered and will make it feasible for you to see the pins when it’s dark outside. Whereas sight lights are perfect for hunting at dusk or dawn, one should be aware of how dangerous this could be. Checking with your local laws to ensure that hunting before sunrise or after sunset is legal is not a redundant move at all but a good idea instead.
Fiber optic sights (as mentioned above) are normallymade of glass or plastic and are of great use in low light. The pins glow making it rather easier to line up the sight, for this purpose the cables are constructed to capture and radiate ambient light. Hunters usuallychoose fiber optics for when they have to shoot deer and big game at first and last light.
A good sight should be open to easy elevation and windage adjustments. In this case, you might want to consider gang adjustment for your sight though for some models Allen wrenches and other tools are provided. Gang adjustment allows you to set up all of the pins at the same time, instead of individually which is time-consuming and inconvenient. Most experienced shooterssuggestpicking one that can be altered without the use of keys or other tools.
Many of today’s sights now feature bubble levels which will keep your bow ideally upright when firing and help ensure a straight shot so you can precisely reach the target without worrying about your arrow straying off to the left or right. The bubble level can be pretty useful by adding an element of consistency into your shooting routine. The only drawback is that lining up the bubble level requires anextra step to your aiming process. Anyway, with practice, using bubble levels will soon become your habit, better yet, your second-nature. | weapons_science |

From strongest to weakest, these weapons are:
- the core
- the two legs
- the two arms
- the head.
To you, these six parts of your anatomy are the weapons you will employ against your opponent. To your opponent, these are the targets for control and submission.
Regardless of what you’re doing, always ensure your most powerful weapons are engaged. As an example, you can significantly increase the power of many techniques by properly employing your core. A common beginner mistake is to rely too heavily on the arms and legs without engaging the core.
In addition to engaging your core, you also want to engage as many other weapons as possible. See Overwhelming Force.
A general word of warning: never attack your opponent’s core directly. The core (chest, midsection, hips) is the strongest part of the body. Attacks directly against your opponent’s core will almost always fail.
Instead of attacking the core directly, do so indirectly by attacking a limb for leverage. As an example, if you can control your opponent’s legs you can lock the hips in such a way that neutralizes his/her core. This is far more effective than attempting to attack the hips directly. | weapons_science |

The SCAR gun can be used for a multitude of purposes, from mining operations to crowd control.
Function & UsageEdit
The weapon is versatile, effective, and easy to maintain and use. To plant charges carefully aim the gun at a target position and fire. Due to galactic trading standards the SCAR gun may only fire five live rounds at one time.
Firing more rounds will deactivate the oldest placed round to allow to rounds to be used. To detonate your placed charges, simply press the detonate button on the gun. For safety purposes any un-detonated charges will automatically expire after a certain amount of time, rendering them useless.
Full body armor suits are available that can shield the user from a single SCAR gun round. Such suits come only in the color red to differentiate them from other, less effective suits of armor. These can be purchased separately at any Goliath Holdings retailer.
Extreme caution must be exercised when detonating live charges.Please be certain there are no civilians, children, expensive property or domesticated animals in or near the blast area.
Note: Goliath Holdings cannot be held responsible for any mishaps, casualties, disfigurations, or other related damages caused by the improper use of the weapon.
- Assault on Dark Athena, Bonus Content and Manuel. The game manual says that the term SCAR stands for "Sonic Compressor Assault Rifle" this is discredited by the game itself. | weapons_science |
