Here we discuss about the latest innovations in this sector, highlighting the technological advancements that are reshaping the landscape of personal defense firearms.
Compact Design Meets High Power
One of the most notable trends in the concealed carry market is the downsizing of pistols without compromising their firepower. Manufacturers have ingeniously balanced the need for concealability with the desire for high-caliber performance. This has been achieved through innovative designs that optimize the use of space within the firearm, allowing for smaller frames while maintaining or even increasing magazine capacity. A prime example of this trend is the Smith & Wesson M&P Shield series, which offers a slim profile yet powerful performance.
Technological Advancements in Materials
The use of advanced materials has played a pivotal role in the development of these new concealed carry pistols. Lightweight yet durable materials like polymer composites and advanced alloys have replaced heavier traditional materials. This shift not only reduces the weight of the firearm, making it more comfortable for daily carry, but also enhances the durability and longevity of these weapons.
Improved Ergonomics for Enhanced Accuracy
Ergonomics has become a key focus area, with designs increasingly tailored to provide a more natural and comfortable grip. This focus on ergonomics not only makes the firearms easier to handle but also improves accuracy. Many new models feature customizable grips and adjustable components, allowing users to tailor the firearm to their specific hand size and shooting style.
Integrated Smart Technologies
The integration of smart technologies is a revolutionary step in the concealed carry market. Some of the latest models come equipped with features like fingerprint sensors and RFID technology, adding an extra layer of security and preventing unauthorized use. These smart guns can only be fired by verified users, a feature that is particularly appealing for personal defense weapons.
Enhanced Sights and Aiming Systems
Advancements in sighting systems have also enhanced the effectiveness of concealed carry pistols. Red dot sights, once reserved for larger firearms, are now being incorporated into compact models. These sights allow for quicker target acquisition and greater accuracy, a crucial factor in self-defense situations.
Increased Customization Options
The concealed carry market is also seeing a rise in customization options. Modular designs enable users to interchange parts and modify their firearms according to personal preferences or specific needs. This level of customization was previously only available in larger firearms but is now a growing trend in compact concealed carry pistols.
Implications for Personal Defense
These innovations have significant implications for personal defense. The combination of compact size, high power, advanced materials, and smart technologies means that individuals no longer have to compromise between concealability and effectiveness. This new generation of handguns offers a level of versatility and reliability that was previously unattainable in such small firearms.
The concealed carry market is undergoing a transformation, driven by technological advancements and changing consumer needs. The new wave of compact and powerful pistols is a testament to the ingenuity of firearm manufacturers and their commitment to meeting the evolving demands of gun owners. As these innovations continue to unfold, they are set to redefine the standards of personal defense weaponry, offering more efficient, safe, and reliable options for concealed carry. | weapons_science |

Bulk .22LR vs. "Match Grade" .22LR
Actionshooter and I were at the range today and he was shooting the Federal 325 round "Match Target" .22LR stuff while I was shooting the Federal 550 round bulk ammo. Both can be found at your local stop-and-rob
The bulk stuff operates flawlessly out of my gun (as long as I do my part), and it's the only thing I've ever shot through it. While standing, I was getting 2ish" groups at 15 yards out of a Ruger MKIII Hunter 6-7/8" with open sights.
Is there really any TRUE advantage of running "Match" ammo over the bulk stuff - especially in a pistol? I understand the whole "better consistency and accuracy" thing, but is the slight improvement even worth the extra money?
Federal Bulk = $0.027/rd
Federal Match = $0.070/rd
SO - at over 2X the cost per round for match stuff, is the figurative "bang for your buck" really there??

At the distances you are shooting you are not likely to notice much if any difference in match and bulk. Even at 25 yards the bulk stuff can be very good. When distances increase the Match ammo will come into it's own. If you shoot 50BR matches or any of the silhouette games where you shoot as far as 100 meters it makes a huge difference. We had our monthly match yesterday and I can tell you when you are shooting at a 1" target at 100 yds with a handgun, match ammo is a must.
March 7th, 2011, 07:22 AM #3
I can't speak to the accuracy at long distances but at the shorter distances I certainly can tell the accuracy I have experienced. My biggest thing is that it is so much cleaner and with pickier guns they do notice. I do like the fact that my guns do require less cleaning than with the bulk ammo. It is a little annoying that halfway through a box of Federal bulk that my fingers are black.
March 7th, 2011, 12:51 PM #4
LSP - Not trying to tell the sensei what to do, but stop shooting the Remington bulk crap. I probably put 4-5K rounds of it through my 10/22, and every box looked like someone decided to sweep the floor on Friday and toss it back into the ammo bin. I was constantly getting duds, and it's annoying that your fingers were constantly the black/gold/yellow color after 10 minutes. I usually average 1-2 duds every 550, but most always light off when you cycle them again.
If I got into the 100yd matches where a scope was needed, I could see the point of having match grade stuff. Just didn't know if it was justifiable with an open sight gun at 25yds.

I use the Federal Auto Match in my P22 and both 10/22s and it works great. I also have used Centurion and did not have any problems with it.

I have used both, the bulk and the best, if you want accuracy, the best is worth the money, if you're just wanting to play, then the bulk makes more sense. I mainly use the good stuff for competitions and squirrel hunting. I have a few boxes left of some Federal Gold Metal Match that are years old, I do not think Federal makes this stuff anymore, this stuff shoots as good as Eley 10-X and that stuff is really expensive.
In all honesty, if you're not shooting at least 50 yards for groups, you might not notice any difference.

No Armscor experience, but did shoot some Wolf "Match Extra", this is good stuff too. Excellent 50 yard groups.
March 7th, 2011, 04:31 PM #9
in my p22 i feed it cheaper bulk ammo with zero problems thus far. i really dont target shoot .22 pistol, more just random plinking.
in my savage tr, all i use is the wolf match extra. with the match extra i can put 20 shots inside of a nickel at 75 yds. i have ran some cheaper ammo through it but often have flyers and my groups open up.
i would have to say that at distance you will see the differences between bulk and match grade.

I don't shoot matches , so I just really want something that goes BANG every time I pull the trigger . The worst .22 ammo I ever remember was the old Winchester Wildcat . I don't know if they even make it anymore .I tried being normal once , I didn't like it .

There is one truth about rimfires. Every gun is a law unto itself. Meaning there is no "That gun with this ammo will produce one hole groups." Rimfire firearms need to be shot for groups with whatever ammo you want to try to really find out what that combination will do.
For example I have a much modified 10/22 that at 50' produces 0.112" average of 5 5-shot groups using Eley Target. Same ammo through my CZ452 produces 0.181". 0.175" = 1 MOA at 50'. On the other hand the CZ produces 0.131" groups while the 10/22 produces 0.168" with Fiocchi Match Training. 30 thousands may not sound like much but when the bullseye is the size of a pin dot on a A-36 target you need every advantage you can get. As a pleasant surprise you may find something that groups well that is cheap. The 10/22 shoots Federal Auto-Match to 0.118" and works great as long as I stay in short.
Which brings up distance. What works at 50' may not work at 50 yards. Again you can only find out by shooting groups at the distance with the gun and ammo combination. That 10/22 and Auto-Match combo is great till I get past 25m then the groups start to fall apart.
Rimfire handguns take the pickiness to another level. If you run an autoloader then it has to function first. Some ammo doesn't have the poop to cycle the action. The short barrel will lower the velocity. 50 to 100 fps is what my chrono data shows. My Tac-Sol upper with iron sights on the MKII turns 0.400" groups at 25' but I really don't have enough data to see what it will really do. The stock 6 7/8" upper with a OKO red dot turns groups from 0.260" to 0.460" at 25'.
So the answer is ... it depends. If you're getting enough accuracy out of your gun and ammo combo that you're happy with, go with it. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. However if you have a mild anal retentive streak like I do and want to eek out the last bit of performance then you have to go down the rabbit hole and spend a lot of time testing and tweaking to find the ultimate load.
The only for sure piece of advice is don't waste your money on Remington rimfire ammo. The stuff has high ES and SD. Is dirty and has many misfires. Link to my long term rimire chrono project. There are a couple exceptions. Remington/Eley shoots OK and I've had a tiny bit of luck with Remington Target. The rest I wouldn't shoot it if it was given to me.

I have always had very good luck with cci mini mags in my 10/22. I just picked up a Savage MKII-TR yesterday so I guess I will have to do the guessing game again for a while to see what works best

Say, guy, when are you going to shoot trap with us? The monthly aggregrate is tomorrow; singles, handicap, and doubles. Naturally, they set it for the same day (every month) as the Amite pseudo-IDPA match...

The shooter must decide for themselves what ammo performs to the level of their expectations for what they want to spend on ammo. I have been lucky with some guns using reasonably priced ammo to produce results I can live with. I have noticed that cheap bulk Winchester has poor reliability and my 10/22 doesn't function well on that diet. I keep a large variety of .22 LR on hand to test in new guns because with rimfires I have to find the ammunition that performs best and then decide where that point of diminishing returns exists on my budget for the type shooting I am going to do with that gun.
March 12th, 2011, 03:56 PM #17
I shot bullseye pistol for manyyears but my best annual average was only 848. I tested a wide variety of SV ammo several years ago and found that CCI SV and Aguilla SE gave slightly larger groups tham Wolf Match Target while Wolf Match Extra provided the smallest groupd by a slight margin. All of them easilly shot 10 shot goups ca one half the size of the slow fire ten ring or less from either a Walther GSP or PardiniSP. If you shoot in the 890's then Wolf Match Extra was the way to go. At my level it was awaste of money.
For the practical pistol games where the targets are much larger I doubt there is any advantage to shooting anything byt the Federal bulk pack ammo.

I tried one of the Eley match rounds (don't remember now which) once in my buckmark. The first few groups were good, then it started throwing rounds all over the place. I thought maybe the screw on my rear sight had worked loose. When I got home I couldn't believe how much lead I had built up in my barrel! I guess my buckmark barrel is a bit tighter..."Don't waste your time looking back, you're not going that way." Ragnar Lodbrok

Europe’s last remaining Boeing B-17 heavy bomber, famously known as the Flying Fortress, will again take to the skies. This comes after the B-17 had been grounded by the US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) for more than a month due to safety concerns related to the aircraft’s wings.
The airworthiness directive issued by the FAA in May affected 18 B-17s registered in the US. Out of these, approximately three B-17s were in flying condition. Additionally, several other B-17s were undergoing restoration, while another affected Flying Fortress was in the United Kingdom.
Europe’s last B-17 is based at Duxford in Cambridgeshire, having been acquired by businessman and pilot Ted White as a restoration project. The B-17 was transported to Britain via Biggin Hill to the Imperial War Museum Duxford in March 1975, where it embarked on a new chapter as Sally B, named after Ted’s partner Elly Sallingboe.

In 1979, Elly Sallingboe and Ted White formed B-17 Preservation to operate and raise funds to keep the last remaining B-17 in the UK flying as the USAAF WW II Memorial Flight. Today, Elly Sallingboe leads the B-17 organization following the passing of her long-time partner, Ted White. In a comment to the BBC, Elly Sallingboe, the plane’s operator, expressed her delight upon the B-17 being granted approval by the UK’s civil aviation regulator to resume flying again.
The last remaining B-17 Flying Fortress in the UK is unable to carry passengers, but it regularly participates in air shows. Following test flying and crew training on June 23, the B-17 is scheduled to make a public appearance at the Duxford Summer Air Show.
About Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress
The Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress, developed in the 1930s for the United States Army Air Force (USAAF), is a four-engined heavy bomber. Renowned for its relatively fast and high-flying capabilities compared to other bombers of its time, the B-17 played a key role in the European Theater of Operations during World War II.
The B-17 was critical to the USAAF daylight precision bombing campaign and was armed with 13 machine guns, hence the name Flying Fortress. It earned its reputation as the aircraft that dropped the highest number of bombs during the war. With a production volume ranking it as the third-most-produced bomber in history, it falls behind the Consolidated B-24 Liberator and the multirole, twin-engined Junkers Ju 88.

Powered by Wright R-18200-97 Cyclone radial engines, the Flying Fortress can achieve a maximum speed of 461 kilometers per hour when flying at an altitude of 25,000 feet. In terms of climbing, it can reach an altitude of 20,000 feet in 37 minutes. Additionally, the B-17 can fly up to 3,200 kilometers while carrying a payload of 2.5 tons of bombs.

Just as Japan’s unique Peace Constitution evolved from the ruins of World War II, the Fukushima disaster could initiate a new, peaceful and environmentally harmonious society, says Yuki Tanaka
The devastating earthquake registering 9.0 on the Richter scale that hit Japan on March 11, 2011, together with the massive tsunami, completely destroyed the picturesque northeastern coast of Japan’s main island, taking tens of thousands of lives and creating hundreds of thousands of refugees.
Along this stretch of utter destruction, four nuclear power stations comprising a total of 15 reactors are placed within a distance of about 200 km. Of these, the Fukushima No 1 nuclear power station, operated by the Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO), is the largest, comprising six nuclear reactors. Until now, TEPCO has been proud of the robustness of the containment vessels of these reactors. It has claimed that they were made utilising the brilliant technology originally developed to produce the main battery of the largest naval artillery ever produced, mounted on the gigantic battleship, Yamato, of the Japanese Imperial Navy, which US forces destroyed towards the end of the Asia-Pacific War. TEPCO claimed that the nuclear reactors would safely stop, then automatically cool down and tightly contain the radiation in the event of an earthquake, and that there was therefore no danger of earthquakes causing any serious nuclear accident. The vulnerability of nuclear reactors to earthquakes was already evident, however, when TEPCO’s Kashiwazaki-Kariwa plant on Japan’s northwest coast caused several malfunctions, including a fire in a transformer, and a small quantity of radiation leaked into the ocean and the atmosphere following a magnitude 6.8 earthquake that hit this region in July 2007. In spite of this serious accident, TEPCO still arrogantly overrated their « world best nuclear power technology ».
Yet, immediately after the March 11 earthquake violently shook these reactors and the towering waves of a tsunami surged and damaged many buildings of the power station, the myth of the « safe and durable reactor », a myth propagated by TEPCO, was immediately shattered. At the time of writing (mid-March), half of the six reactors seem to be on the verge of melting down, and one of the containment buildings has caught fire due to spent fuel rods combusting. The radiation level in the vicinity of the power station is extremely high, and it is spreading as far as Tokyo and Yokohama. Thus, as every day passes, an unprecedented scale of nuclear disaster is unfolding, making it more and more difficult to arrest the multiple problems of radioactivity.
What went wrong with Japan’s nuclear industry? It is often said that the Japanese are hyper-sensitive about nuclear issues because of the experience of the nuclear holocaust in August 1945. On the morning of August 6, 1945 an atomic bomb instantly killed 70,000 to 80,000 civilian residents of Hiroshima city and by the end of 1945, 140,000 residents of that city had died as a result of the bombing. Three days later, another atomic bomb killed about 40,000 civilians in Nagasaki and 70,000 had died by the end of that year. Many others have subsequently died, often after experiencing a lifetime of suffering, or are still suffering from various diseases caused by the blast, fire and radiation.
It is true that the Japanese, in particular the citizens of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, are very conscious of the danger of nuclear weapons, the most lethal weapons of mass destruction. A-bomb survivors, who know well the terror of the bomb and who are fearful of the long-lasting effects of radiation, have therefore been in the vanguard of the anti-nuclear weapons campaign. Despite this, however, many A-bomb survivors and anti-nuclear weapons activists have so far been indifferent to the nuclear energy issue. Anti-nuclear energy campaigners have long been marginalised in Japan.
For example, a small group of anti-nuclear energy activists in Hiroshima have been actively involved in the movement against the Chugoku Electric Power Company’s (CEPCO) plan to build a nuclear power station near Kaminoseki, a beautiful fishing village on Japan’s Inland Sea, about 80 km from Hiroshima City. However, they have had virtually no support from any A-bomb survivors’ organisations. Nor have either the former or current mayors of Hiroshima, who are widely known as strong advocates for the abolishment of nuclear weapons, ever supported this local anti-nuclear power movement. Indeed they have never expressed concern about the danger of nuclear power accidents. Despite strong opposition by this group of anti-nuclear energy activists in solidarity with the fishermen of Kaminoseki, CEPCO started construction work early this year. (CEPCO temporarily stopped construction work on this site on the day of the earthquake, perhaps indicative of the very great difficulty the nuclear power industry and the government will have in resuming work on nuclear plants following the disasters.)
There are many reasons for this peculiar dichotomy in the anti-nuclear movement in Japan. One reason is that nuclear science was strongly promoted in post-war Japan, in particular after the new American policy of « peaceful use of nuclear energy » was initiated under President Eisenhower in 1953. This was mainly due to Japanese self-reflection about having neglected scientific research during the war. Contemporary Japanese politicians and scientists in particular strongly believed that their nation was defeated in WW2 by American technological science, exemplified by nuclear physics.
This attitude, together with a deep anxiety about the lack of natural energy resources in a nation that relies on imports for 100% of its oil and is the world’s largest importer of coal, overtly encouraged Japanese adoption of nuclear energy. Particularly from the late-1960s the Japanese government tried to secure the approval of local communities in remote areas for the construction of nuclear power plants in their regions. The government allocated huge sums to build public facilities such as libraries, hospitals, recreation centres, gymnasiums and swimming pools in areas where local councils accepted a nuclear power station. Power companies paid large sums of money to landowners and fishermen to force them to give up their properties and fishing rights. Political corruption soon became part and parcel of the development of this industry. At the same time, the government and power companies promoted the myth that nuclear power is clean and safe, thereby marginalising the anti-nuclear energy movement.
Although for a short period following the Chernobyl accident in 1986, the anti-nuclear power movement in Japan gained nation-wide support, this quickly subsided following campaigns by the government and the power companies. Despite many accidents since, the seriousness of these incidents was effectively covered up. Consequently there are now 17 nuclear power stations around the earthquake-prone Japanese Archipelago, comprising 54 nuclear reactors which provide 30% of Japan’s electricity.
The anti-nuclear movement has been warning of the dangers of a devastating nuclear accident for years, but this has always been met with dismissive assurances of the safety of the reactors. The Fukushima accident has brought to fruition all the fears and predictions previously expressed. In the same way that the atomic bomb indiscriminately killed tens of thousands of civilians, a nuclear reactor accident could be responsible for indiscriminate suffering and death as a consequence of radiation pollution.
Australia and Canada are the two largest uranium suppliers for Japan. Thirty-three percent of Japan’s uranium import comes from Australia and 27% from Canada. Australia is faced with the decision of whether to continue exporting uranium even as certain politicians insist that we cannot afford to risk introduction of nuclear power. Surely it is hypocritical to avoid the dangers at home, while benefitting from the export to other nations? In the same vein, these politicians advocate the need to abolish nuclear weapons, but refuse to ban the mining of uranium.
Japan is not the sole nation responsible for the current nuclear disaster. From the manufacture of the reactors by GE to the provision of uranium by Canada, Australia and others, many nations are implicated. We all should learn from this tragic accident that human beings cannot co-exist with nuclear power, whether it is in the form of weapons or electricity. The risks and the costs, in dollar terms and in terms of the destruction of human beings and the environment, are excessive.
This catastrophic event could potentially be the catalyst needed to drastically reform Japan’s existing socio-economic structure and way of living. As a positive outcome, it could provide the wake-up call and opportunity to redirect the nation on a new course that emphasises green energy development. In the same way that Japan’s unique Peace Constitution evolved from the ruins of World War II, this calamity could be used to initiate a hitherto impossible, totally new, peaceful and environmentally harmonious society. Such an optimistic outcome is dependent on the determination and actions of the Japanese people, supported by the whole-hearted assistance of those outside Japan.

The helm bonus is +3 and it requires 45 defence to use. All zerker builds have 45 defence and the helm, but combat levels and other gear choices can vary depending on which combat level you wish to reach. Due to having a defence requirement, zerker builds do have more rs gold access to game content than 1-def pures. Because of the increase in available game content, a zerker build can use more methods to train, although generaly it is more expensive and time consuming than a 1-def pure build. Most successfull zerkers pvp around combat levels 70-80 as you will encounter the best opposition for the build, below this level you will often be overpowered by 1-def pures who have much higher attack and strength.
A lot of questing is required for all Zerker builds and all defence xp must come as a reward from quests rather than by training it normally in combat, this is so you can receive rewards or complete requirements in quests that also give defence xp rewards. Whilst there are lots of different builds all the stats are carefully selected to reach or keep under a desired combat level.
Stats and Gear
Your attack level should usually be either 60 or 75. Going higher doesn't have much merit for this build as you can use basically any weapon in osrs at 75 attack, usually only maxed pkers should use a higher attack level. Briefly comparing 60 to 75, 60 has technically fewer choices of usable gear than 75 and can only use dragon-tier weaponry and lower, however because of your weakened opposition, in reality you should be able to choose a wider range of gear. For a 60 attack zerker the best weapons are dragon claws (or a cheaper dragon-tier weapon) + a weapon to combo/finish your opponent such as the barrelchest anchor (requiring completion of the great brain robbery) which gives increased accuracy and damage while reducing your opponents combat levels with its special attack.
Other popular weapons to serve a similar purpose to the anchor are the obsidian maul, dragon 2h sword and the dragon halberd. The use of two weapons in pvp can present a higher financial risk than at 75 attack where one weapon can can do both functions. Aside from the elder maul the most commonly used weapon at level 75 attack are the godswords, they all have powerful spec attacks, including accuracy and damage boosters, a freezing of the enemy effect, prayer restore and draining of the enemies combat stats (each of the 4 swords have different spec attacks, you should decide which is best for your build/ budget).
The armadyl godsword is the most used in pvp, it gives a huge 37.5% damage bonus and doubles accuracy, however it is the most expensive at around 13.7m. There are also weapons used mainly for training you can use to reach 75 unavailable at 60 which include the ghrazi rapier, abyssal bludgeon, abyssal dagger and saradomin sword.

NORTH Korea is planning to wipe out large parts of US heartland and already has satellites in position for attack, an expert has shockingly claimed.
The US has moved nuclear bombers and their war fleet, the USS Carl Vinson, to the Korean peninsula ahead of any potential conflict and to increase pressure on the north.
This was after their leader, Kim Jong-un, threatened to fire a nuclear missile at US heartland.
But a power grid expert claims North Korean missile activity could be to plan for a devastating EMP attack.
Task Force on National and Homeland Security executive director Peter Vincent Pry said: “I think what they are mainly going for is the unhardened electric grid.
“Transportation, communications, all of the other civilian critical infrastructure that we depend upon to keep our population alive.”
North Korea has already fired two satellites into orbit and if a nuclear payload has been attached to these, then they have the capability to launch an attack.

If an EMP was successful, it could plunge the US into a doomsday apocalypse scenario.
Mr Pry added: “They are positioning themselves as sort of a nuclear missile age, cyber-age version of the battleship diplomacy.
“Then if a crisis comes up and if we decide to attack North Korea, Kim Jong-un can threaten our president and say, ‘Well, don’t do that because we are going to burn your whole country down’.

“Which is basically what he said. He has made threats about turning the United States into ashes and he connected the satellite program to this in public statements to deter us from attacking.”
A former advisor for Ronald Reagan claimed North Korea could launch a devastating joint EMP attack with Iran.
And former CIA chief James Woolsey named EMP attacks as the most dangerous threat to the US from the North.
James Woolsey : “North Korea is preparing to hit North America with electromagnetic pulse weapons (EMP)”:
North Korea prepping EMP attack on U.S.
An Ex- Central Intelligence Agency director made some extraordinary claims on North Korea.
That the regime is a far bigger threat to the U.S. than ever, and it might be time for Washington to consider pre-emptive strikes.
Kim Hyun-bin highlights James Woolsey’s words of caution.
The United States should be prepared to launch preemptive strikes on Pyongyang, including the use of nuclear weapons if necessary.
That’s what former CIA chief James Woolsey said in an op-ed piece in the Hill newspaper, accusing the U.S. media of underestimating the threats posed by the regime.
Woolsey, who was director of the CIA during the Clinton administration,… warned that if the North uses a warhead-triggered electromagnetic pulse,… it could kill 90 percent of Americans.
Woolsey and co-author Peter Pry, who is with the Congressional Electromagnetic Pulse Commission,… also listed the possible ways North Korea could attack the U.S.,… speculating Pyongyang could use a bomb-laden freighter or even conduct a suicide mission.
Responding to the assertions,… South Korea’s Joint Chiefs of Staff on Thursday repeated its assertion about North Korea’s capability to conduct a nuclear test… and added something new. “North Korea is capable of conducting a nuclear test upon an order from its leader. Seoul and Washington are monitoring and evaluating the situation. There is also a possibility the regime could conduct a new type of nuclear test.”
Adding to the heightened nuclear threat,… North Korea-monitoring website 38 North… said up to 100 people have been spotted at the North’s nuclear test site. “And in equally worrying news,… many experts believe North Korea could conduct its sixth nuclear test around the birthday of the late founder Kim Il-sung on April 15th.
Kim Jong Uns North Korea Warned Donald Trumps America (Nuclear War)
WASHINGTON – North Korea is preparing to launch a satellite capable of detonating a nuclear weapon more than 100 miles over the United States, creating an electromagnetic pulse that could destroy America’s electrical grid system, a former director of the U.S. Strategic Defense Initiative said…
Former Ambassador Henry Cooper – who was President Ronald Reagan’s chief representative in the “Star Wars” initiative negotiations with the Soviet Union and SDI director under President George H.W. Bush – said North Korea is preparing its Sohae satellite complex for a launch on a southern trajectory, which is said to be a test.
Cooper told G2 Bulletin the United States lacks sufficient anti-ballistic missile defenses in the southern part of the U.S., especially if the satellite turns out to be a nuclear device that could orbit above the U.S. and explode at a high altitude, affecting the lives of all Americans.He said it would be difficult to distinguish a test from an actual attack, and the best way to counter such a threat to the U.S. homeland is to knock out the missile at the time it begins its trajectory over a southern polar route. But he acknowledged such an action would be politically unpalatable.
However, if the North Korean satellite turned out to be a nuclear device and is detonated over 100 miles above the U.S, it could destroy all life-sustaining critical infrastructures that rely on the national grid, potentially leading to the death of most Americans within the following year.
All grid-dependent systems could suffer, including food- and water-supply chains, fuel-supply systems, communications, banking and finance.
Do not be one of the people that freezes and is overcome by fear—you need to move smartly if you want to survive.

Yes, North Korea is an EMP threat to the USA. I have warned about this for years. Now, more and coming forward about this.
Canada is also at risk:
Canada and the United States are currently vulnerable to an electromagnetic pulse (EMP) attack that has the potential to destabilize our power grid, water systems, food supply chain and more…
CIA analyst Dr. Peter Pry’s attempts to educate policy-makers and the military on the need to protect our electrical grid. If an enemy detonated a nuclear missile above the skies of North America, it could take o
ut our grid for months. Countries like North Korea and various terrorist groups have already shown they can successfully launch EMP missiles.
“This is a bigger threat than the classic nuclear war we talk about,” Pry explained during a recent visit to Toronto. “It will kill a lot more people. One bomb will basically end your civilization.
“We’re not just talking about destroying electronics — at the end of the day we’re talking about killing millions of people. But it’s the old fashioned way — through starvation and disease and societal collapse.” …
“When it comes to issues of national and homeland security, this is why we have government,” says Pry. “Even the strictest constitutionalist should be able to support a bill that is basically for the purpose of providing for the national and homeland security of the American people so that a failed state like North Korea can’t kill 90% of our population with one bomb.”
The challenge is the issue doesn’t appear to be a priority in Canada. Representatives from CSIS, the RCMP and Public Safety Canada all confirm that attacks to what’s called “critical infrastructure” are concerns of theirs, but it appears no recent reports specifically mention EMP. It’s unclear to what degree government experts are studying the issue.
How prepared Canada and the USA actually are for this remains an open question, but the risk is great.
An EMP attack could well be one of the ‘troubles’ that could affect the USA, Canada, and/or various others during the ‘beginning of sorrows’ that Jesus spoke of (Mark 13:8).
North Korean politicians have often been playing a dangerous game with their country and their people, and hopefully they will realize that an EMP attack is not in their interests.
While North Korea is not prophesied to take over the USA (Europe is per Daniel 11:39, etc.), as I wrote in the past, it certainly is possible that it may decided to actually launch one or more missiles at the USA in the future (or take other “terroristic actions; cf. Leviticus 26:26).
North Korea, sadly, is certainly capable of terrorism. It has threatened the USA and its White House in the past.
If North Korea does take certain steps to sufficiently aggravate the USA into a full military conflict, it needs to realize that it likely will no longer exist as it is. At some point in time, however, I believe that both Koreas will be reunited based upon certain verses in Revelation, yet whether this will be because of a war involving the USA or something else, that is not clear.
Of course, if North Korea did so, it would not do well once the USA retaliated. So, North Korea is not likely to publicly and direct nuke the USA. But with its despotic leader, almost anything is possible.
The Koreans are Asians and occupy the “land of the sunrise” (Revelation 16:2) and I believe that they are part of the kings of the east that the Book of Revelation discusses having a role in the end time (Revelation 9:16). For years I have written that I expect that they will reunify. The unification of North and South Korea is consistent with biblical prophecy. But North Korea may take unusual actions before then, and it may regret doing so.
And while some may find it hard to believe, North Korea is truly believed to have the ability to knock out a lot of the USA’s power supply with its electromagnetic pulse (EMP) weapon capability. Even Voice of America (a news source operated by the US government) publicly warned about it in the past.
Disasters, especially if there is an ElectroMagnetic Pulse (EMP) attack or a severe solar flare storm, could be part of a so-called“perfect storm” of events that could set the USA for destruction.
Many sorrows that the U.S.A. will face, like severe weather problems, diseases and earthquakes, will happen irrespective of who is in the White House (Amos 4:7-10; Luke 21:11).
The USA, despite its military strength, is vulnerable to being hurt by EMP weapons as well as nuclear weapons, chemical weapons, dirty bombs, terrorism, and biological weapons. Everyone knows that EMPs can basically work as advertised, this may give the North Koreans more reason to look further into using them if they feel pressed.
This may not bode well for the USA or Canada. Perhaps I should add that Iran and the Europeans also have this capacity. The USA and Canada may well be hit by EMP weaponry, and there are many places that have the potential to hit them that way.
The real question that you have to ask yourself is: would you be prepared?
The second most important question is: are you prepared right now to survive such a catastrophe?

The nuclear drone, which was placed on Tuesday, has detached a warhead that has sailed at a depth of 80 to 150 meters in waters of the Sea of Japan, known to Korea as the East Sea, for 59 hours and 12 minutes, Yonhap news agency reported, citing KCNA.
The day before, South Korean authorities reported that North Korea had carried out the launch of several cruise missiles into the Sea of Japan in the midst of rising tension on the Korean peninsula.
The launching of such projectiles comes as Seoul and Washington conduct a series of joint military exercises under the name ‘Freedom Shield’, maneuvers that have repeatedly drawn criticism from Pyongyang, which has warned that it would take action.

The salesmen are of course happy if you buy a knife and so they do not really mind which knife you buy and so can give you good advice as to which would probably be best for your needs. This is opposed to the manufacturers that want you to only buy their knives and so what they claim are the knife’s qualities may not always be absolutely true. This means that if the manufacturer has labeled their knife, Choose This Knife as it is the best; that may not be strictly true but often a salesman will tell you if it seems to be true or not.
Most enthusiastic outdoorsmen, if asked which one knife should a person carry into the wilderness, would be in a dilemma as to a suitable answer because they probably believe that two knives are always necessary, a hunting knife and a survival knife. These two knives are what most experienced outdoorsmen will carry as they have had or heard of experiences where just one or the other was not enough and they certainly know that carrying no knife can be literally fatal.
Both the hunting knife and the survival knife, in different situations, can mean life or death to an outdoorsman venturing into the wilds. A survival knife, for instance, may be someone’s only source of defense should a wild animal attack. Yes, the hunting knife also has a sharp blade if they are rarely strong enough or large enough to be used as a viable weapon against many of the wild beasts that could be encountered. On the other hand, the survival knife is often too big and heavy to be used as an effective skinning knife and without being able to skin what you kill, what will you eat?
For many years now experienced outdoorsmen have learned that two knives are always better than one when venturing far from civilization and trying to survive in a wilderness environment. As there are so many of these types of knife available to buy today, even the most experienced outdoorsmen when it comes time to buy a new knife, will go online to see what the reviews for the knife they need say. They obviously know what features they like but may not know the qualities of any new knives on the market. | weapons_science |

The UK Ministry of Defence (MoD) plans to buy 160 of the drones in a contract worth more than €23 million.
According to Britain’s MoD, the remote-controlled, 16 gram PD-100 PRS aircraft is produced by the Norwegian company, Prox Dynamics (www.proxdynamics.com). Dubbed the Black Hornet Nano Unmanned Air Vehicle, the drone is a traditional single-rotor helicopter, scaled down to the size of a toy. British troops receive full motion video and still images and are reported to be using the drones for reconnaissance missions, sending them ahead of ground forces to inspect enemy positions.
Each drone is equipped with a small tiltable camera, a GPS co-ordinate receiver and an onboard autopilot system complete with gyros, accelerometers and pressure sensors. This is designed to keep it stable in flight against winds as strong as 10 knots, according to reviews. The tiny aircraft is agile enough to fly inside compounds, and is quiet enough to attract minimal attention. If detected, the drones are cheap enough to be considered expendable.
The auto-pilot either follows a preprogrammed flight plan or receives commands from a manual control station, which is about the size of a large smartphone. The drone’s camera can feed compressed video or still images to an operator up to a kilometre away, and its rechargeable battery provides power for about 30 minutes of flight.
In addition to the drone and the controller, each system comes with a ground base station, which houses the operating system, main electronics, internal batteries and chargers. It also protects the drone while being transported. The weight of the entire kit is about a kilogram (2.2 lbs), easily portable in the field.
Prox Dynamics started working on the nano-drone in 2008, and released a video of the first prototype in flight a year later. The manufacturer initially planned for it to be put to civilian use, to scout sites of natural or man-made disasters for survivors and provide intelligence to rescue teams. A marketable version of the Black Hornet was first presented at the Counter Terrorist Expo in London in April, 2012.
The UK Ministry of Defence announced last November that it was awarding Prox Dynamics a contract to supply the drones to its troops in Afghanistan. The initial contract is reported to be worth about €3 million, but will likely be expanded to more than €23 million. | weapons_science |

How do I know which crossbow scope is best to buy?
Many hunters say that their crossbow is only as good as the scope that is attached to it. The scope allows you to increase the accuracy of your shot by providing you with a larger sight area, letting you adjust the arc and helping you focus your aim. You will typically find two types of scopes on the market; a red dot scope and an optical scope.
The first mentioned, is quite a bit smaller than an optical scope and works by transmitting a light reticle into the scope. Although a red dot scope does not have magnification capabilities, the reticle makes it easier to see and thus will help you zone in on your pray. Besides the lack of magnification, the main downside to this scope is that it does require a battery.
Normally found on hunting rifles, optical scopes work great for providing clarify over long distances as well as offers exceptional magnification. Make sure you purchase a crossbow scope and not a rifle scope as rifle scopes do not have multiple reticles and thus cannot track the distance of an arrow.
Best Crossbow Scope for the Money
If you’re looking for the best bang for your buck, the UTG 4X32 1″ Crossbow Scope, offers incredible balance between value and performance, providing you with the most features for the best price. With a wide parallax and multiple reticles, you have the option of switching between each for lighted illumination from 10 yards up to 50 yards. The reticles help make it easier to adjust your aim, and the crisp sight picture allows you a precise shot with perfect accuracy.

Half tang blades are recommended to be avoided if you are planning on using the knife on a frequent basis because they can come apart from the handle. Furthermore, avid hunters and outdoor lovers prefer drop point blades or even Persian blades because they are much sturdier and balanced while offering greater control to the user.
What can rust or corrode stainless steel blade?
Most individuals falsely believe that only water can rust or corrode stainless steel blades, however, that is not true because stainless steel can easily discolour when it comes in contact with acids for example from oranges, lemons or even tomatoes.
Luckily, a lot of manufacturers have now designed various knives that are resistant to the effects of such acids and as consequence do not rust or corrode. However, you must remember that the more resistant the blade is to corrosion or rust, the weaker and thinner the blade usually is.
Also, you must evaluate the thickness and toughness of the blade as some blades tend to bend and even break when they are used for harder tasks such as cutting thick branches of wood. Manufacturers use several types of stainless steel for knife production and these often include the 1095 category of stainless steel as well as 3V and INFI stainless steel.
These types of stainless steel can be found on a wide range of knives ranging from smaller paring knives to larges Santoku and chef knives that can go as long as 8 inches. Lastly, think about the blade hardness as it is not the same as blade thickness. The hardness of the blade is determined by how long it can resist from bending especially at the tip when force is applied.
Professionals usually call the knife’s ability to edge holding ability plus stainless steel hardness can be measured on the infamous Rockwell scale.
By the end of this guide, we strongly believe that you will enough knowledge and information to go shopping for the best flipper knife on the market that will suit your budget as this list has several economical options as well as few knives that are from premium manufacturers. Whatever knife you choose to buy at the end, always check to see if it has a warranty as this will give you some added assurance of the quality of the knife and blade.
Lastly, never forget to shop for a knife keeping all the important aspects we have mentioned on top as they will hugely determine how long and how well your knife will last especially if you are planning on using it on regular basis. | weapons_science |

In this study, we investigate the quantitative correlation between human factors and the shooting accuracy of the T75 assault pistol. We carry out live pistol firing. Eleven shooters are selected to fire 30 rounds each. We obtain 330 data successfully. Interest factors are assigned to three human factors, whereas performance evaluation methods are assigned to three parameters of impact points; these experiment datasets are measured using an I-CubeX glove force sensor system. Three prediction models (for shooting score, shooting precision and shooting trueness) are established by using a Least Squares Support Vector Machine (LS-SVM), Back-Propagation Neural Network (BPNN) and Response Surface Methodology (RSM); the results of present study indicate that the model developed by using an LS-SVM exhibits excellent prediction ability. The force of the shooters right index finger abdomen for pulling the pistol trigger and the force of the shooters left palm for gripping the pistol significantly influence shooting performance. An inexperienced shooter can use the results of this study as a reference for improving his or her shooting skills. Furthermore, this study will greatly assist efforts to upgrade pistol design and performance.

HMS Vanguard was the biggest battleship built in Britain during World War II. She was commissioned after the war and was never used in action.
Sea trials began at the end of 1946, too late to serve in the war. She was 248m long and could reach a speed of 30 knots. HMS Vanguard was the flagship of the British fleet and had a complement of 115 officers and 1,860 men.
After a few sorties and participation in exercises with the Dutch and American navies, she was decommissioned and scrapped in 1960.

But there along the sea island's riverfront, guarded by century-old live oaks, stands the remains of Fort Fremont, one of six fortifications designed to protect the southeastern coast of the United States during the Spanish-American War.
Today, visitors can explore the two batteries that were the centerpiece of the 170-acre complex. Now a 15-acre historic site and beach preserve, Fort Fremont is an example of the coastal defense system developed in the early 20th century when the US was setting the stage to become a world power.
Built in 1899 at the start of the Spanish-American War, Fort Fremont's mission was to defend Port Royal Naval Station located across the Beaufort River on Parris Island. A strategic support base for the emerging Atlantic fleet, the navy post included a coaling station and the only dry dock in the South large enough to hold modern battleships.
Fort Fremont's defenses were made up of two reinforced concrete batteries protected by sloped earthworks. The larger structure, Battery Jesup, was equipped with three 10-inch rifled cannons mounted on disappearing carriages. When the gun was fired, the force of its own recoil moved it back behind the parapet, hiding it from view.
The other bastion, known as Battery Fornance, had two 4.72-inch rapid-fire guns designed to prevent small boats from clearing underwater minefields.
At its peak, the fort was manned by 110 men and officers of the 116th Coast Artillery and included barracks, a mess hall, PX, officer and noncommissioned officer quarters, administrative and engineering buildings, stables and a hospital.
Like the other fortifications of the period, Fort Fremont never saw combat but simply served as a deterrence against attack. The only structures still standing are the two batteries and the hospital, now a private residence located about a half-mile away.
Every fourth Saturday of the month, the nonprofit Friends of Fort Fremont offers free docent-led tours of the historic site. The two-hour program begins at the St. Helena Branch Library with a short talk about the fort and the significance of its location.
After the introduction, participants are invited to view dioramas of the military village on exhibit in the library. The scale models will be moved to an interpretive center scheduled to open in 2018 on the historic site.
For visitors who want to tour the property on their own, interpretive signs along the batteries describe the defense system and the history of the fortification. | weapons_science |

Using a high-powered .30 caliber rifle the ‘Marksman’ is able to, “blow a half in hole clear through,” the body of the Master Lock No. 15 laminated steel padlock, “but the Master Lock still holds tight.”
In 1976, The Miami News ran the article Does Master Lock hold up to high –caliber rifle shot? For the article, they not only tested the Master Lock No. 15 with two shots with identical placement from a high-caliber rifle, but they also used a second No. 15 padlock which absorbed the impact from four bullets, also with identical placement.
In 1983, the popular television show ‘FIGHT BACK’ with David Horowitz put the “Tough Under Fire” commercial to the test and the No. 15 Master Lock passed the test again.
In 1996, the Master Lock Company’s “Tough Under Fire” advertising campaign celebrated its 21st appearance during Super Bowl XXX. This particular broadcast was seen by 138 million viewers which was the highest viewing of a television program in history. Master Lock credits the many years of their exposure on Super Bowl Sunday as responsible for pushing their brand recognition to an all-time high.
In a 2006 episode of MythBusters entitled Mega Movie Myths there was a segment called Shootin’ Locks in which they tested the myth. This segment pitted standard door locks and padlocks up against 4 separate firearms: 9mm handgun, .375 magnum, 12 gage shotgun with a dear slug round and M1 Garand .30 caliber high-powered rifle. The padlocks used in this test were all Master Lock No. 15s, the only caveat was they were firing from point blank range. Nevertheless, the Master Lock No. 15 proved plausible and still remains Tough Under Fire™.

Even those who use magic determine the damage they deal based on their weapon's damage. Because of this, it should always be a goal for players to make sure their weapon is current to the their level.
All weapons have certain statistics.
Class and Type: Class determines who is able to equip a weapon. Their are seven classes of weapon: three for ranged, and four for melee. Three weapon types are found within each class, affecting primarily weapon speed and damage, and are used by certain abilities and masteries.
Magical ranged includes wands, sources, and holy symbols, and are used by summoners, enchanters, and ministers. Basic ranged includes light crossbow, shortbows, and thrown weapons, and are used by swordsmen, stalwarts, and paladins. Superior ranged includes longbows, heavy crossbows, and paired hand crossbows, and are used by marksmen and executioners.
Magical melee weapons include staves, rods, and scythes, and are used by enchanters and summoners. Basic melee weapons include maces, daggers, and sickles, and are used by marksmen, paladins, and ministers. Superior melee weapons include swords, axes, and hammers, and are used by executioners, stalwarts, and swordsmen. Two-handed weapons are only used by swordsmen, and include two-handed variants of all superior weapons.
Tier and Rank: Every weapon is defined by its tier and rank. Tier is tied to the characterer level. To use a tier 16 weapon, the highest tier, a character need to be level 50. To use a tier 1 weapon, the character must be level 9. For the first levels of play, a character will use a tier 0 weapon. Every tier has associated materials.
Rank determines the rarity and level of magic in a weapon. There are five ranks: mundane, masterwork, magical, legendary, and artifact. Mundane weapons have no magical powers. Masterwork weapons raise player statistics. Magical and beyond have even more notable powers. Alongside these bonuses, damage is increased by the rank of the weapon.
Damage, Speed, and DPS: All weapons have damage, speed, and a DPS (damage per second) derived from the two. DPS represents the damage done to an enemy of the same level with average defense. While weapons of the same class, tier, and rank will have
DPS values that are approximately the same, their speed and damage will vary, which determines their effectiveness versus different defenses. For example, hammers are slow, which allows them to deal more damage against heavily armored opponents, while swords are fast and deal damage better against lightly armored opponents. Below is a graph showing the average damage of a comparable weapons against different defenses. Damage range will also vary between weapons. Axes tend to vary wildly in damage.Off-hand Items: In addition to weapons, characters wield a variety of items in their off-hand, depending on their class. Conjurers and enchanters wield foci, such as spellbooks, crystals, and censors, which raise the damage done by their spells and help them concentrate. Ministers fill their second hand with a small shield, providing them a chance to block attacks and lower damage. Paladins and stalwarts are able to use large shields, which block a larger amount of damage, or spiked shields, which increase the damage of shield abilities. Marksman wield two basic weapons, while executioners wield two superior weapons, increasing their rate of attack. Swordsmen have the most options for their off-hand able to use small shields if they prefer defense, two-handed weapons for higher damage, or two superior weapons for quicker attacks. | weapons_science |

Morningstar vs. Heavy Mace
As it is written, there is absolutely no reason anyone would have a heavy mace instead of a morningstar. They do the same amount of damage (1d8 for a medium creature) and have the same critical (x2), but heavy mace only does bludgeoning damage whereas the morningstar is one of the few weapons -in fact the only one in the Core Rulebook - that does both bludgeoning and piercing damage simultaneously. That versatility alone gives it an advantage over the heavy mace. Plus, a morningstar weighs two pounds less and costs 4 gp less than a heavy mace. At this point, the only reason an adventurer would own a heavy mace is because the weapons merchants threw a box of them out in the alley so he wouldn't keep tripping over them.
How to fix it: it's not much, but I've given heavy maces a +2 bonus to sundering attempts. Also, I made heavy maces a pound lighter than morningstars when I fixed all the weapons' weights (that'll be a later blog post, but I'll give you a hint at what's to come: "Greataxes don't weigh 12 pounds! Holy hell, do you guys even know what weight is?").
Sickle vs. Kama
Do you know what a kama is? It's a Japanese sickle. I mean, a sickle has a moon-shaped curve to it an a kama is straighter, but they're the same basic weapon. Here, I have a kama; it's a pretty handy garden tool.
|Here it is with the awesome cedar handle I carved for it, because I am a manly man.|
How to fix it: it's simple: no more kama. Just make the sickle a monk weapon. Problem solved!
Starknife vs. Shuriken
Shuriken, also known as throwing stars, are a classic Eastern weapon. You may know them from everything with ninja in it. Starknives are, as far as I can tell, made-up bullshit weapons designed by people who buy unwieldable jagged knives with jewel-eyed dragon heads from that one store in the mall. You may know them from Pathfinder and nothing else.
|Maybe Krull? Has anyone seen that? I know I haven't.|
How to fix it: no starknives. Problem solved.
Well, that's all for now. I've got plenty more nits to pick with the weapons table, so expect to see more of that here in the future.

An ancient land of rulers, warriors, miners, technology, pottery, and culture that still exists today. Nubia was known by the ancient Kemetic (now Egypt) term Ta-Seti, meaning 'Land of the Bow.' Texts dating as early as 2400 B.C. prove ancient Egyptians employed Nubian archers to strengthen their armies. Nubian archers also served as warriors in Persia's imperial army and beat back the Roman Empire's attempt to conquer the entirety of Nubia. In 641 A.D. when Arabians gained control of Egypt, Islamic historians noted in texts of the 8th Century that Nubian archers maintained such accuracy with the bow that Arabian invaders were forced to flee the Christian Nubian Kingdom of Makouria. With the ability to shoot their enemies through the eyes while on horseback, Nubians became known as "eyesmiters."

As of March 2015, political pundits and gun freedom proponents alike are writing and discussing the President’s possible move to restrict or outlaw popular AR-15 ammo via an executive order. In late February, the ATF reported that it was proposing a ban on 5.56 mm ammo and was putting that ban on a fast track to approval. The obvious result is that the price of the ammo went up and it became scarce on the shelves as gun owners stocked up.
The possibility of the ban illustrates two points about ammo independence. First, you can’t rely on the government to protect your rights to any firearm or ammo. Second, it’s always better to stock up now, when ammo is available, than to wait.
You never know what firearm or ammo type will be targeted next, and many feel that this is the beginning of a slippery slope that will eventually encompass most, if not all, ammo.
Current Ammo and Firearm Restrictions
If you think the rulings won’t pass or that pro-gun politicians can protect your rights, a look at current restrictions in state and city locations may change your mind. Many states are already restricting the purchase of firearms and ammo according to individual circumstances.
In some states, anyone who was ever convicted of a crime—even if it was a misdemeanor punishable only by a small fine—cannot own guns or ammo. In some cases, anyone with a juvenile record of any kind can never own a gun or ammo—even if that person simply made a dumb mistake as a teenager and has since become a model citizen!
States are also restricting ammo purchases for certain types of guns, and cities such as Chicago don’t allow guns to be carried at all.
Even in this anti-gun and ammo environment, there are ways to remain ammo independent.Visit this site to learn more. | weapons_science |

The purchase of a new handgun doesn’t necessarily mean that the gun-owner has a more powerful weapon in hand. Contrary to popular opinion, that’s not why people buy handguns. While the purchase of a new Glock might give the gun owner a better weapon, it might not pack more power. It may have only as much power as the handgun the user had previously. It may be smaller, lighter and fit their hand better. What might make this gun owner optimistic is the good time they’ll have shooting at paper targets with a new Glock.
Types of Bullets
Likewise, when gun owners regard the fascinating array of bullets they can put in their guns, the truth is, they all fit and fire well. Some bullets are designed to do more damage than other bullets, but then again, cheap target bullets will do a lot of damage when the gun-owner fires them off. If someone threatens the gun owner with bodily harm or death, a target bullet can inflict plenty of damage. The type of bullet is irrelevant to many gun enthusiasts.
The Glock as a Security Gun
Glock handguns might work well in personal security training. A Glock might be easier to learn to use than mastering a black belt in karate. Call it a shortcut when you compare the disciplines. There’s a reason handguns are so popular. Handguns can be much more effective than a knife or a club. Do you feel safe carrying around a knife or a club for self-defense?
The Glock can be used in self-defense. It can deliver a serious punch. A pellet gun, by comparison, delivers an uncertain shot. If you confront a would-be assailant with a pellet gun, you might be better off fleeing the scene. Because dangerous situations don’t always lend themselves to flight, gen5 Glock pistols might provide a powerful self-defense option.
With all the handguns you can choose from, sometimes the choice might have more practical implications than the power-trip the gun provides. | weapons_science |

Now those weapons are beginning to show up, deeply worrying U.S. and European officials who say they fear the North’s ammunition could prove important on the battlefield at a huge moment of vulnerability for Ukraine.
While many of the North Korean artillery rounds are proving to be duds — some appear to have been manufactured decades ago — they are giving the Russians something to fire at Ukrainian forces, who are rationing their own dwindling supply. European nations promised Ukraine a huge resupply, but for now seem to have been able to scrounge up only 300,000 or so artillery shells.
But it is the missiles that raise the most concern, from the Pentagon to NATO’s headquarters in Brussels. In interviews, a range of officials said they fear the Russians hope to use missiles to overwhelm Western air defenses. While so far the number of missiles transferred is small, likely fewer than 50, U.S. and European officials believe there could be far more to come. | weapons_science |

Detonation velocities, greater than that generated by high explosives (~104m/s), can be achieved by using the gravitational technology recently discovered. This possibility leads to the conception of powerful shockwave weapons. Here, we show the design of a portable gravitational shockwave weapon, which can produce detonation velocities greater than 105m/s, and detonation pressures greater than 1010N/m2 .

north korean fighter jets, North Korea's fighter jets are a serious threat to global security. The nation has one of the largest air forces in the world, and it continues to test and launch missiles despite international condemnation. Pyongyang's provocations cannot be ignored, and South Korea and the US must take action to defend themselves against this growing threat.
north korean fighter jets
North Korea's air force is one of the largest in the world and it is mainly composed of Russian fighter jets. North Korea's state airline, Air Koryo, is widely considered to be the worst airline in the world. The North Korean navy is also one of the largest in the world, with over 70 submarines. North Korea has displayed its military and civil air fleet in public for the first time in an air show on Saturday. Tensions on the Korean peninsula have increased significantly in recent weeks, but North Korea's state media claims that its fighter jets are ready to defend the country if necessary. The US government supports Türkiye's plan to modernize Turkey's fleet of F-16 fighter jets, which would be a major step forward for NATO's defense capabilities.

The types of fighter jets in North Korea\'s fleet
North Korea has a huge fleet of fighter jets, larger than that of South Korea and the US. The fleet consists of about 820 fighter jets, most of which are Soviet-era MiG-29s. North Korea also has a small number of more advanced supersonic fighters, such as the MiG-31 and Sukhoi Su-27. These jets are among the most advanced in the world and give North Korea a significant military advantage over its neighbors.
The capabilities of North Korea\'s fighter jets
North Korea has a very large air force with many different types of fighter jets. They have the ability to fly over long distances and carry out multiple missile tests in a short amount of time. This demonstrates the capability of their armed forces and how they are able to keep up with the latest technology.
How many fighter jets North Korea has
North Korea has a huge air force, larger than South Korea's and the US's, which it mainly uses Russian fighter jets. In addition, experts doubt the quality of education in North Korea. In contrast, South Korea has a state-of-the-art army that rivals North Korea's. North Korea: Kim Jong-un fires rockets again. +++ 8:00 p.m.: North Korea has continued its series of missile tests. As the After another missile test: North Korea has sent twelve fighter jets to the inner-Korean border, which respond with 30 of their own As with the first incident, South Korea sent its own planes into the air in direct response. Ten North Korean fighter jets have just arrived The sixth test within twelve days: North Korea has two again. But where do they get all the money for the armaments and the So North Korea has many reasons to be particularly careful and vigilant.
Why North Korea has so many fighter jets
North Korea has a huge air force, larger than South Korea's and the US's, which it mainly uses Russian fighter jets. North Korea has conducted more missile tests this year than ever before. Most recently, neighboring South Korea and the USA have already reacted. North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has announced more missile tests. With this, North Korea will use its ability and its will tactical nuclear weapons. In the dispute over North Korea's nuclear program, the United States and Pyongyang continue to outdo each other with mutual threats. Now Trump has
The history of North Korean fighter jets
On November 19, 1950, Soviet MiG-15s struck over North Korea in what is referred to as the first combat between jet fighters in history. According to North Korean historiography, the People's Army was defeated on April 25. The North Korean planes first met on April 27. But one question still remains: Who, if not the winners, writes the history?
Kim Jong Il is dead, Asia fears another North Korean aircraft – such as the MiG-23 and In response, South Korea also sent planes to the border area. It is the latest in a series of escalations A total of twelve warplanes were shot by North Korea near the inter-Korean border on Thursday Shortly before, North Korea had flown more than ten warplanes near the inner-Korean border, according to the South Korean general staff.
A few hours later, North Korea also sent 12 warplanes near the inner-Korean border
How North Korea\'s fighter jets compare to other countries\' fleets
North Korea's fighter jets are some of the most advanced in the world. They are able to take on any other country's fleet and come out victorious. North Korea has one of the strongest air forces in the world and their fighter jets are a big part of that.
The potential threats posed by North Korea\'s fighter jet fleet
The potential threats posed by North Korea's fighter jet fleet are real and should not be ignored. The jet fleet is capable of causing serious damage to any country it chooses to attack. The international community must come together to pressure North Korea into dismantling its fighter jet fleet. Only then will the world be safe from the potential threats posed by North Korea.
North Korea's leader is elected secretary-general at a party conference. Kim's conclusion: «The historic mission of our revolutionaries is to liberate the entire Korean Peninsula.» Even North Korea is careful to keep its distance. His conclusion: “We should not forget that the customer ultimately chooses the product they want.”

This was a positive summary of the cooperation that took place until mid-September when North Korea's leader is elected secretary-general at a party conference. Kim's conclusion: «The historic mission of our revolutionaries is to liberate the entire Korean Peninsula.» Even North Korea is careful to keep its distance from Spain, his conclusion: “We should not forget that the customer ultimately chooses the product they want.” | weapons_science |

Fort Worth, Texas
The F-16 Fighting Falcon of the Thunderbirds are impressive even when sitting idle for the night.
The General Dynamics F-16 Fighting Falcon is a single-engine supersonic fighter aircraft originally developed by General Dynamics (now Lockheed Martin) for the United States Air Force (USAF). Designed as an air superiority day fighter, it evolved into a successful all-weather multirole aircraft. Over 4,600 aircraft have been built since 1976 and it is the world's most numerous fixed-wing aircraft in military service.
The F-16's official name is "Fighting Falcon", but "Viper" is commonly used by its pilots and crews, due to a perceived resemblance to a viper snake as well as the Colonial Viper starfighter on Battlestar Galactica which aired at the time the F-16 entered service.

Armor vs. Gunfire
For game purposes, there are two types of armor: regular armor (as described earlier, in the Combat section) and bullet-proof armor (described below).
Regular armor, described earlier, is only half as effective (round down) versus gunfire. If you roll 5 points of protection for your reinforced jacket, it only stops two points of damage against a gun.
The rating for bullet-proof armor represents the number of dice rolled when hit by a bullet or shotgun. Divide the damage by this number.
(On a roll of a 1, the armor has no effect, meaning that the bullet hit an area not protected by the armor.) Against normal attacks, such as knives and punches, subtract the armor's rating from the damage.
For example, if you rolled a 5 for your bullet-proof vest, you would divide the incoming damage by 5. If someone stabbed you with a knife, however, you would only subtract 1 point from the damage.
When a character wears both types of armor, handle the regular armor first, and then the bullet-proof armor.
Bullet-proof armor has a "b" by its rating in order to differentiate it from normal armor.
|Military Body Armor||3/2b*||yes|
- First number is regular armor, second is bullet-proof armor.
Easy Gunfire Example
Two characters have unwittingly cornered a desperate operative in a docked ship. The operative, armed with a .22 revolver, fires a shot at the first character from his hiding place. He is within short range (8m away), so the character gets two dice for his defense roll. The operative is a crack shot (4 dice) and has leisure to aim (bonus die). The GM rolls a 16 versus the character's 6, that's a difference of 10 points, times 3 for the damage multiplier of a small caliber pistol, is 30 points of damage. The character is wearing a reinforced jacket and rolls 3 for the armor, but it's divided by 2 because regular armor doesn't work too well against bullets, so the armor stops only 1 point of damage. The character takes 29 points of damage, dropping him to -7. Since 29 points can kill the average person outright, the GM rules that the shot was a solid chest hit, and that the character could be dead. (She won't bother to rule precisely on his state of injury until the second character takes the time to check him out.)
The second character breaks for the door, weaving as she goes. The GM rules that the operative is a good enough shot to fire on her before she moves out of short range, so she only gets two dice for distance, but she gets a third die for moving and four bonus dice for dodging. (The average character gets 2 bonus dice, but the character is extremely agile.) The GM rolls four dice and gets 17.
The player rolls seven dice and takes the best three: 15. Her character takes 6 points of damage. Luckily, she is secretly wearing a bullet-proof vest, and she rolls 4 on her one die. Six divided by 4 is one and a half, rounded off is 2 points of damage. With a nasty bruise, the character hustles out of the room.
As you see, a revolver using standard ammunition isn't very different from any other weapon, except for the new armor rules. More advanced firearms and specialized ammunition, however, requires some special rules.
Firearms of various types allow different firing tactics.
You can get one good shot per round with a revolver.
You can get up to two shots per round, but the second receives a penalty die due to recoil from the first.
Each round you can fire two single shots, one three-round burst, or one full auto shot (see below). If firing two single shots, you take a penalty die on the second due to recoil.
You can fire one shot per round.
Automatic Rifles: You can fire up to two shots per round, one three round burst per round, or fire at full auto (see below). If you fire two single shots, you take a penalty die on the second.
Three Round Burst
A burst sends more bullets at the target, increasing the chance to hit, but the recoil on the second and third bullets makes them less accurate than the first. The farther the target is from the characters, the more detrimental this recoil is to the accuracy of the second and third bullets. A burst adds a bonus die to the roll to hit regardless of range. At point-blank or close range, it also adds +1 to the weapon's damage multiplier, but not at medium, long, or very long range. These modifiers represent the increased likelihood to score a hit as well as the probability that the victim will be hit by more than one bullet. If the resulting damage is low, assume that only one bullet hit. If the damage is very high, assume all three hit. If medium, assume two of the three have connected.
Full Auto, One Target
Full auto puts a lot of bullets in the air, but the massive recoil makes the extra bullets considerably less effective in hitting a single target.
After the first few shots, the recoil is so great that the extra bullets have relatively little effect. Most of them go astray. Still, it is a little better than the burst. Full auto is most useful for pinning down the enemy or messing up a large number of targets. It is also the most effective method known for wasting huge amounts of ammunition. At point blank or close range, full auto trained on a single target provides a bonus die to hit and +2 to the damage multiplier. At medium range, take a bonus die and add +1 to the damage multiplier. At long or very long range take a bonus die, but there is no addition to the multiplier. You must have at least 10 rounds in your clip to qualify as "full auto."
Full Auto, Spread
You can target one person for every five bullets fired. You cannot skip a target between two people who you do target. For instance, if your friend is between two enemies that you fire on, you must target the friend as well. At point blank range you receive a bonus die on each attack and +1 to the damage multiplier. At close range you receive a bonus die on the attack but no modifier on the damage factor. At medium range, you receive no bonus, other than the ability to target several opponents at once. At long range, you receive a penalty die against every target.
At very long range, you receive two penalty dice against every target. Full auto does a lot of collateral damage as stray bullets hit the area around the targets.
One shot per round. Divide damage by the number of defense dice rolled for distance. For example, at 10m the defender gets 3 dice for distance, so you divide your damage by 3.
Gunfire Tactics Summary
|Tactic||Point Blank||Close||Medium||Long||Very Long|
|3 round burst||b/+1||b/+1||b||b||b|
|full auto, 1 target||b/+2||b/+2||b/+1||b||b|
|full auto, spread*||b/+1||b||—||p||2p|
* Target one character per 5 bullets fired.
Key to Gunfire Tactics
b: bonus die on attack roll
p: penalty die on attack
2p: two penalty dice on attack
+1: +1 to damage multiplier
+2: +2 to damage multiplier
In addition to standard rounds, most firearms can take specialized ammunition.
Armor-piercing rounds do half normal damage, but armor is much less effective versus an armor-piercing round. Subtract the rating of the armor from damage, whether the armor is bullet-proof or normal. For example, a bullet-proof suit would provide 2 points of protection, while a military armor would provide 5 points of protection, 3 for its regular armor component and 2 for its bullet-proof component. This reduction in armor protection comes off the damage before it is divided by 2.
For example, if the operative in the earlier example had been using armor-piercing rounds, the 29 points of damage he did to the first character would have been divided in half to 15 points. The second character's armor, however, would have reduced the damage only 1 point, rather than dividing it by 4, so she would have taken 5 points instead of 2.
Hollow Point Rounds, Safety Slugs
Hollow point rounds sacrifice penetrating power for extra damage and safety. (They will not pass through the body, allowing one to strike an enemy with less chance of the bullet traveling through the body and striking someone else, perhaps after ricocheting off a bone or two.) The damage factor for a hollow point or similar bullet is +2 more than normal, but armor of all kinds has twice its normal effect.
If the operative had been using hollow points, his damage factor would have been X5 instead of X3, and he would have done 50 points of damage to the first character. The character's roll of 3 for his armor, however, would have been doubled to 6, so he would have suffered only 44 points total, just enough to kill him. The bullet hitting the second chracter would have done 10 points of damage instead of 6, but her roll of 4 would have been doubled to 8, so the bullet would have only done 1 point of damage. (Ten divided by 8 is 1.25, which rounds off to 1.)
|Hollow Point**||double||divide double|
divide: divide damage by roll
divide double: divide damage by double the roll
double: subtract double the roll from damage
full: subtract full roll for the armor from damage
half: subtract half the roll for the armor from damage
minimum: subtract number of dice (not roll itself) from damage
* Divide damage from armor piercing bullets by 2 after armor points have been deducted.
** Hollow point bullets have +2 added to the damage factor.
For example, a reinforced jacket (rating: 1) would stop 1 die of damage from a knife, 1 die divided by 2 from a bullet, 1 point from an armor piercing round, or 1 die times 2 from a hollow point shell.
A bullet-proof vest (rating: 1b) would reduce normal damage by 1 point, would divide bullet or shotgun damage by the number rolled on 1 die, would reduce damage from an armor-piercing round by 1 point, and would divide safety slug damage by double the roll on a die.
A reinforced jacket over a bullet-proof vest would stop 1 die +1 point from normal attacks. Against a bullet, it would first stop 1 die divided by two (for the jacket), and then divide the remaining damage by a roll on 1 die (for the vest). Against an armor-piercing round, it would reduce damage by 2 points, one for the jacket and the other for the vest. Against a hollow-point round, it would first subtract double the roll on one die (the jacket), and then divide the result by double the roll on one die (for the vest). | weapons_science |

Meanwhile, two friends of mine, Gary Harper and son Phillip, called me asking to take part in some target practice. I took my trusted 9200 Mossberg turkey gun to Gary’s ranch and the shooting was on.
For some reason, Gary decided he was going to shoot some 3-1/2 inch shells he had bought. I never said anything, but thought myself, “He will never shoot 30 of those shells.” Even with Phillip and Gary shooting together, they quit after 10 shots. The big shells like that will do a number on you, which brings me to this week’s thoughts.
When I first started hunting we used a 2-3/4 inch magnum shell. Our guns were not made for three inch, or if they where they had 30- inch barrels — not really good for hunting turkeys. To hunt turkeys, I have found the short barrels, 22 to 26 inch are the best. They are faster to move through thick brush, they work better in blinds, and with all the equipment we carry into the woods now, they are lighter. I use three-inch magnum; my favorite brand, when I can find them is Kent. They are inexpensive, and get the job done.
Now some of you are going to say, I use my old granddad’s thirtyfour inch goose gun, and it gets the job done. Yes it will, but we don’t try to wear the jackets we wore when we where kids, now that we are grown, do we? Same way with guns, they have come a long way, and are made for a certain type of hunting now.
When I was a kid growing up in McRoberts, we used the same gun to hunt everything from squirrel to rabbits. Now that I know better, I use a long barrel gun for squirrel, and one with a short barrel for rabbits. We must learn to grow with our sport, or we will forever be caught in the past. | weapons_science |

These glasses protect the shooter’s eyes from potential hazards like flying debris, dust, or even gunshot residue. In this article, we will explore how these glasses work and the technology behind their ballistic protection.
Firstly, let’s understand the concept of ballistic protection. When we talk about ballistic protection, it refers to the ability of an object to resist and prevent penetration by ballistic threats such as bullets or fragments. In the case of shooting glasses, the threats generally come from the projectiles fired or generated in shooting ranges, ranges, or hazardous working environments.
One of the primary features of shooting glasses with ballistic protection is their lens material. These lenses are typically made from polycarbonate, a strong and impact-resistant material commonly used in safety eyewear. Polycarbonate lenses have excellent resistance against impact, making them capable of withstanding high-velocity projectiles.
Furthermore, shooting glasses undergo rigorous testing to ensure their effectiveness in protecting against potential hazards. These tests evaluate their resistance against high-energy impacts, such as the impact caused when a bullet hits the lens. Manufacturers often follow international standards, such as the ANSI Z87.1, to ensure their glasses meet the necessary safety requirements.
The construction of shooting glasses plays a vital role in providing the desired ballistic protection. The lenses are usually made with multiple layers, each serving a specific purpose. The outer layer is scratch-resistant, ensuring the glasses remain durable and long-lasting. The inner layers are responsible for providing the necessary protection against impact, with the thickness varying based on the required level of protection.
Additionally, some shooting glasses come with additional coatings to enhance their functionality. These coatings can include anti-fog, anti-reflective, or UV protection properties. Anti-fog coatings prevent moisture build-up on the lenses, ensuring a clear vision even in challenging conditions. Anti-reflective coatings reduce glare, enhancing the shooter’s focus and reducing eye fatigue. UV protection coatings help block harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun.
The design of shooting glasses is another crucial aspect to consider. The glasses should fit securely and comfortably on the shooter’s face to ensure proper eye coverage and prevent any obstruction to peripheral vision. Some glasses come with adjustable features like nose pads and temple arms to allow for a more customized fit.
Various shooting glasses models also provide wraparound designs, offering enhanced protection by covering a larger portion of the face. This design ensures that projectiles cannot enter from the sides of the glasses, thus minimizing the risk of injury.
While shooting glasses do offer ballistic protection, it is essential to remember that they are not bulletproof. They are designed to decrease the likelihood of injury by reducing the impact energy and deflecting or absorbing the projectile. The effectiveness of shooting glasses also relies heavily on their correct usage and proper maintenance.
In conclusion, shooting glasses with ballistic protection are an essential safety accessory for those involved in shooting sports or working in hazardous environments. Their ability to withstand high-velocity impacts and protect the shooter’s eyes from potential hazards is made possible through the use of materials like polycarbonate and multiple layers of protection. By following international safety standards and undergoing rigorous testing, these glasses provide users with the necessary confidence and protection when engaged in shooting activities. | weapons_science |

A military armored (or armoured) car is a lightweight wheeled armored fighting vehicle, historically employed for reconnaissance, internal security, armed escort, and other subordinate battlefield tasks.
Some people aren't even aware you can buy a military vehicle and sometimes for less than $10,000 if you know where to get them.

Their battle weapons, most notably their awe-inspiring axes, encapsulated the essence of their martial prowess and struck fear into the hearts of those who crossed their path. These axes were not mere instruments of war; they were extensions of Viking ferocity and indomitable spirit. Forged with unwavering dedication, Viking battle axes were a testament to the skilled craftsmanship that defined their society. From the meticulous shaping of the axe head to the ornate carvings that adorned its handle, every detail was a reflection of their dedication to both function and aesthetics. These weapons were not mass-produced; rather, they were imbued with the soul of their creator, resulting in unique pieces that possessed an almost mystical aura.
The blacksmith’s hammer transformed simple chunks of metal into lethal works of art, each swing resonating with the echoes of battles yet to come. When wielded on the field of battle, Viking axes became harbingers of doom, striking terror into the hearts of their enemies. The sheer force with which these weapons could cleave through armor and flesh was unparalleled, leaving devastation in their wake. The characteristic design of the Viking axe, featuring a wide, curved blade and a sharp, brutal edge, ensured that each blow could incapacitate or kill with brutal efficiency. The weight of history and the power of the warrior’s arm combined to create a deadly dance, as Viking warriors swung these axes in a symphony of destruction. The psychological impact of these weapons cannot be overstated. As Viking longships loomed on the horizon, the glint of sunlight off their axes would send shivers down the spines of those unfortunate enough to be their intended prey. The mere presence of these weapons could tip the scales of battle before a single blow was struck.
The Vikings understood the art of psychological warfare sekera vikingská, and their weapons were an integral part of this strategy. The whispered tales of the devastation they wrought with their axes would spread like wildfire, sowing panic and discord among their foes long before the first clash of steel. In the annals of history, Viking battle axes stand as potent symbols of both martial prowess and primal fear. These weapons, with their blend of craftsmanship, functionality, and psychological impact, encapsulate the essence of an era defined by its conquests and conflicts. The legacy of the Vikings and their awe-inspiring battle axes serves as a reminder of humanity’s capacity for both creation and destruction, a testament to the eternal dance between civilization and its untamed instincts. | weapons_science |

The first night driving tests by Wa Pruf 8/I occur in 1937. The Army considers the device ludicrously expensive for driving around at night.
Before the war the use of IR sights for gun aiming is discussed with the Army who set its IR sight requirement as the ability to hit bunker embrasure at 1000 meters with a 30cm / 100 watt searchlight. (Searchlight size and power consumption dictates the size/weight and battery life span of the equipment).
IR driving and gun aiming sights were again demonstrated to the Army in 1940, just after the French campaign, fitted to a Panzer I. Here it can be said the military were just uninterested. This subject was not discussed for two years however the Wa Pruf 8/I still continued work on other devices for the military particularly thermal detecting applications for Army coastal artillery.
Summer 1942 the Army came knocking on door of Wa Purf 8/I asking for a way to take on the Russian night time tank attacks (which greatly impressed the Germans). Dr Gaertner shows them the current gear can hit targets at night using a 36cm searchlight out to a range of 300 meters.
The man on the spot at the Wa Pruf General der Artillerie Heinz ZIEGLER (RK; DKiG) decides that range is sufficient and approves development. This is the well know Pak 40 ZG 1221 sight pictured on a Marder II. That shot dates from about November 1942 when firing tests confirm the set-up will work. Development continued and Gaertner notes development on IR in general increases at this point.
However, it was 1943 when one of such devices was finally tested on a Panther tank. It was named “Fahrgerät” (German for “driving equipment”) FG1250 although it was referred to as “Puma” by the allies in the post-war and also known as “Sperber”, a name deriving from the composite “Sperber” units that would be formed by mixing different Night Fighting equipped troops (Vampir, Falke, Uhu and Panthers ).
This equipment comprised an Infra-Red 200-Watt Headlamp and a IR receiver/sight capable of “seeing” in and converting the IR wave length to visible light. It is reported of having a range of up to 500 meters. The set was mounted on a mounting base installed in the commander’s copula and it could be used in a fixed 12 o’clock position traversing with the turret, or unlocked to provide 360° of rotation.
When installed the Commander’s copula, the hatch would not close and the equipment was fed from a battery/generator set installed inside the turret in the place used by the aft right munition rack, with a cost of 3 rounds less in total munition for the main gun.
During daytime the whole equipment would be taken down for protection and installed in a characteristic armoured box in place of the right standard storage bin on the back of the hull.
Such a setup was known as “Solution A” and offered Night Vision capability only to the Commander, the rest of the crew had to rely on his instructions for movement. For targeting the device was locked to the turret’s 12 o’clock position. The Commander would search for targets traversing the turret. Once acquired the crew had to calculate gun elevation by means of a steel “tape” riveted to the IR device mounting base that entered the turret by a small opening. Such a tape would slide up or down depending on the elevation of the IR headlamp/receiver and by measuring the size of the tape the crew would determine the main gun elevation from within the turret. Once everything was in place the shot was ordered by the Commander.
Soon enough a “Solution B” was promptly drafted, allowing the driver to use another set of IR beam/receiver in order to drive the tank under low light conditions, just like it was done with the “Falke”. The “Solution B” is just a fantasy that could maybe only have existed in the very beginning on some training Panther perhaps, but never in active service.
According to the “Germany’s Panther Tank: The Quest for Combat Supremacy” by Tom Jentz,book some 44 Panther tanks and its crews from at least 4 different units were equipped and trained to use Night Fighting gear by the end of WW2, however there are no records or evidence that they were actually used in combat. Interestingly enough some sources state that a trailing “F” was added to the serial number of all of those Panther tanks prepared of mounting Night Vision equipment.
The active units that fought in April 1945 used ONLY the IR-equipment for the commander – BUT one unit (1. Komp. Pz. Rgt 29 ) with 10 IR-Panthers used the – fahrgerät 1253 – for the driver also. He could just simply switch from normal periscope to the F. G. 1253 and use the same “halterung”. The F. G. 1253 was stored beside (on the left) the driver during the day. Nothing was needed to be rebuild outside. He could see the ground with help from the Commander’s spotlight when he had the IR-filter on, or from the light of the UHUs. It is correct that the commander could turn his IR in 360 degrees – the steel band was easy to remove and put on a holder over the periscope guard. Then he could focus on a target and the turret was turning to this position and the commander install the steel-band again, and begins the complicated communication with the gunner that saw nothing outside.
The Allies of course had their own IR and the Germans knew about it, for that reason IR was not used in the west. The British actively looked for IR on the east bank of the Rhine with specially equipped IR Mosquitos before the March crossings, finding none. The British also manufactured and held large numbers of cheap IR detectors close to the front should the Germans deploy their IR. | weapons_science |

Nucular Bombs and Governators
We all know it’s going to happen.
So, if you can’t beat ’em…
Next Friday night, we’re having a special movie night. Red Sonja (for which I have devised an excellent drinking game; “ayah!”), and Kindergarten Cop (“It’s not a toomah”) will be on the playlist, so we can all enter this next phase in California’s governance with the proper perspective. Also, and I have to get this in there, but at least Arnold can pronounce “nuclear” correctly.
But that’s actually not the politics I’ve been thinking about. I’ve been thinking about Iran. As I’m sure all of you know by now from reading the Onion, America’s Finest News Source™, Iran has been given a deadline of October 31st to prove that it does not have a secret nuclear weapons program.
An excellent goal, no doubt, with only the minor problem that it’s entirely impossible. I’m not even sure I could prove I don’t have a secret nuclear weapons program. Maybe I left it in my other pants or something. Iran doesn’t even have a chance.
Iran: Well, here’s a detailed breakdown of all our defense spending, a guided tour through our nuclear plants, and blueprints of all related buildings.
US: Ha, Iran! We won’t fall for that. A secret military weapons program would never show up in such obvious documentation. Hey! [points at random building] Maybe the nukes are in there. What are you hiding from us, Iran?
And so on. | weapons_science |

Physicists at the KEK
laboratory in Japan and the University of Hawaii have
proposed a "futuristic but not necessarily
impossible technology" that would use an ultra-high
energy neutrino beam to destroy nuclear weapons. However,
the researchers stress that the method is well beyond the
capabilities of current particle accelerators and would
require substantial R&D and financial investment by
many nations (H Sugawara et al. 2003 arxiv.org/abs/hep-ph/0305062).
Neutrinos are one of the fundamental particles of matter
and come in three 'flavours' - electron, muon and tau
neutrino. They are electrically neutral and only interact
weakly with matter, which means that they can pass
through thousands of kilometres of matter without being
In 1999 the first so-called long-baseline neutrino
oscillation experiment, K2K, involved sending a neutrino
beam from KEK to the Superkamiokande detector 250 km away.
There are plans underway to send a neutrino beam from
Fermilab to the Soudan lab in Minnesota, 710 km away and
from CERN to Gran Sasso in Italy, 730 km away. The new
method for destroying nuclear weapons proposed by
Hirotaka Sugawara, Hiroyuki Hagura and Toshiya Sanami is
a "vast extrapolation" of such experiments.
The researchers suggest sending a neutrino beam with an
energy of 1000 TeV through the Earth to wherever the
nuclear weapon was located. The beam would produce
neutrons in a 'hadron shower' and would cause fission
reactions in the plutonium or uranium in the bomb. These
reactions would either melt or vaporize the bomb.
Such a high energy neutrino beam would be difficult to
produce, the physicists admit. The storage ring would
have to be 1000 km across - hundreds of times larger than
the biggest present day accelerators. The magnets in the
specially built muon storage ring would need to be one to
two orders of magnitude stronger than those currently
available to construct a realistically sized machine.
Moreover, the cost of building such a device could be
over $100 billion and it would consume 50 GW of energy -
the entire power consumption of the United Kingdom.
Finally there is the risk, the authors point out, that
the interaction of the neutrino beam with the bomb "could
lead to a full explosion" instead of eliminating it.

I bought it because I was looking for an autoloader, but one that was fast and light. All the reviews said the 48AL's long recoil design was a reliable, tried-and-true system, although considered 'old-school' by some.
But from the first time I used it, the action did not feed shells correctly. Most of the time the fired shell would eject, but the next feeding shell would jam. I tried a number of things to correct the problem, including shooting different brands of ammunition and changing the orientation of the friction ring (something you have to do with 48AL's depending on the shotshell load being used). Nothing worked and I began to think of the 48AL as a very expensive single-shot shotgun.
Finally I took it back to the dealer and he shipped it off to Franchi USA in Accokeek, MD for warranty service. Weeks turned into months and the entire long New York grouse season passed as I checked back regularly to see if my repaired or replaced shotgun was returned (fortunately, I still have my old Winchester Model 1300 to use). Each time I was assured that it would be in 'soon'. After six months, though, even the dealer had given up hope that it would be returned any time soon. The last word he got was that Franchi couldn't 'find' my gun so he replaced it on his own with a new one.
So far I've fired 30-40 rounds through the new gun at a shooting range and it has operated flawlessly. We'll see how it operates in the field. I'm excited again to use this gun after the initial disappointment. It's a beautiful gun, super light, carries like a dream, and it fits me perfectly. I hope it lives up to its reputation. And I hope I can hit birds with it... | weapons_science |

Hi Charles ! I just wanted to show off how much of an improvement my gun has had . After I had the cryogenic treatment to the barrel. In the one photo you can see my grouping sucks and yet people were telling me that wasn't bad. I remember thinking ya not bad if it was a AK47, but I had an AR15 ! After your one time treatment, the next grouping is so tight that the holes touch each other.
When I went to shoot it the second time, I knew my iron sights were not set correctly. I just picked up the gun and shot 3 rounds down range, waited until the session was over so I could look at my target and I let out yell of excitement when I saw how close the grouping was.
Sorry when I got back to my table, I forgot to take any more pictures, I adjusted the sights with one click, and blew out the center of all the targets I shot.
My buddy, Ray, shooting next to me, is long time advocate of the AR15. He was so impressed with my gun's performance, he took apart his AR15, gave me his barrel and asked if I would bring it to you to be treated as well.
Thank you so much for what you did.

First of all Happy New Year!!! My Weatherby is great! Noticeable accuracy gain, improved heat dissipation, etc. Of course it will be a while to know about wear, but one thing I did notice is a gain of about 100 to 150 fps in same powder loads.
Whenever this subject comes up on one of my gun chat rooms or conversation after sharing my experiences, I leave your link and number. I'm happy to spread the word! | weapons_science |

In the climactic events of the last episode of Remembrance, the Special Weapons Dalek is ordered by the Emperor to aid the Imperial Daleks in their battle against the Renegade Daleks. The Special Weapons Dalek easily obliterates a couple of Renegades and proceeds with the rest of the Shuttle Force to capture the Hand of Omega. The shuttle force ambushes the Renengade party and a fearsome battle ensues. After several minutes of fighting the Special Weapons Dalek delivers the final blow and the Hand of Omega is taken to the mothership. The Special Weapons Dalek is presumably destroyed along with the rest of the Imperials when the feedback from the Omega device causes the Imperial Killcruiser to explode.
Asylum of the Daleks
A Special Weapons Dalek is briefly seen in the Dalek Asylum. It just kind of sits there. And it only appears for about a second. It is killed by the Dalek Saucer when the Asylum planet is destroyed.
- The Special Weapons Dalek was created under the decree of the Emperor Davros.
- Whether or not there were more than one Special Weapons Dalek remains contreversial. Some accounts, such as the novelization of Remembrance of the Daleks, describe the Special Weapons Dalek as being a single and unique Dalek designed by Davros, while others, such as the comics and several novelizations, suggest that there were more than one.
- It is possible that the Special Weapons Dalek seen in Remembrance of the Daleks was the same one seen in Asylum of the Daleks. The novel describes the Special Weapons Dalek as being an already insane Dalek that could think for itself, and may have thought of its designation as the Abomination too important to die. From here the Special Weapons Dalek manages to escape the Killcruiser before the explosion.
- Special Weapons Daleks were mass produced after the apparent success of the first model.
- There is data that suggests that the Special Weapons Dalek was created in secret on Necros. In the comic "Emperor of the Daleks!" a Special Weapons Dalek is shown on the Renegade faction. Therefor, the Special Weapons Dalek seen in Remembrance should have been created in secret, as well as a few of the Imperial-class Daleks seen in Remembrance. | weapons_science |

Description and Specifications
Introducing the Dueck Defense Fixed Rear Sight for GLOCKS! The DFR packs a ton of features into the compact design. This is without question the industry’s elite class when it comes to GLOCK rear sights!
If you are a GLOCK owner, without question one of the biggest improvements you can make on your firearm is upgrading to aftermarket iron sights. The DFR is unquestionably on the top of that list.
The design of the DFR results in a no compromise sighting system that offers a perfect, competition ready sight picture but, in a combat fighting sight.
- CNC Machined in the USA from US Mill certified steel bar stock
- Black Nitrocarburized finish
- Rust and wear resistant even in salt water environments
- Fits all GLOCK dovetails
- Install with a sight pusher or soft face mallet. Minor fitting of the dovetail may be required
- Knurl grip locking hex screw double secures the sight in the dovetail
- Rear sight sits .25″ above the top of the slide
- Notch is .145″ wide x .12″ deep
The rear notch of the DFR is .145″ wide by .120″ deep. This results in a great balance, allowing for no loss in accuracy and still open enough to be very quick. The extra width and depth gives more feedback allowing you to accurately call your shots. The face of the rear sight is slightly canted rearward and comes in a matte black Nitrocarburized finish for a crisp sight picture and without any distracting serrations.
The front of the DFR has the Dueck Defense™ blended hook with a multi direction radius. This results in a perfect platform for one hand racking of the slide but without the sharp edges common on other combat sights. These sharp edges can often catch on gear and can injure you during rapid slide manipulation.
In addition to the DFR performing at the top of its class, one of the best features is that you can install it yourself! Yup, that’s right… skip the trip to the local gunsmith and install it yourself in minutes. | weapons_science |

Nuclear weapons are wrong – strategically, morally and financially. Yet, despite peoples long-standing opposition to their obscene presence, MPs inside the House of Commons decided the UK will renew its nuclear deterrent system writing a blank cheque to base another generation of nuclear weapons in Scotland’s waters.
But CND believe Britain should not possess a weapon whose only purpose is to threaten the whole of humanity. Each warhead has 8 times the explosive power of the bomb that destroyed the Japanese city of Hiroshima in 1945. That bomb alone vaporised human flesh within a half mile radius and fatally burned thousands miles from the epicentre.of mass destruction. Instead of the billions of pounds squandered the cost could be better spent on infrastructure, education, combating climate change and helping fund the NHS without threatening the lives of othersBritain, let's not forget is a signatory to the Nuclear Non- Proliferation Treaty, and gas made an unequivocal undertaking to accomplish the total elimination of its nuclear arsenal, but the decision to replace Trrident would run counter to our Treaty commitments, cost billions of pounds, escalate, rather than secure, Britain's real security.
As MPs return to parliament tomorrow. Let's make sure that the first thing they have think about is the existential threats of nuclear weapons and climate change.
Write to your MP to raise concerns about the existential threats of climate change and nuclear war
Nuclear annihilation and climate catastrophe are the two biggest threats to human existence. This has been confirmed by the atomic scientists that maintain the Doomsday Clock: this year its hands were set at 100 seconds to midnight.
Britain should be a world-leader in tackling climate change, but also in the disarming of nuclear weapons, urgent action is needed, as the risk of disaster has never been greater. Urgent action is needed but our government continues to prioritise war and weapons over the future of our planet.
Write to your MP to raise concerns about the existential threats of climate change and nuclear war.
Urge your MP to put pressure on the government to step up the response to the climate emergency, to stop Trident replacement and to sign the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons.

U.S. warns a strike on Tehran is inevitable later this year
Iran’s nuclear ambitions could plunge the world into ‘a new Cold War’ with the Middle East, Foreign Secretary William Hague warned today.
He predicted a nuclear arms race among rival Middle Eastern states that would carry the dangers without the safety mechanisms of the old rivalry between the West and the former USSR.
In an interview with The Telegraph, he insisted Britain did not back military action against the Islamic republic – as Israel is thought to be planning.
He told the newspaper: “If [the Iranians] obtain nuclear weapons capability, then I think other nations across the Middle East will want to develop nuclear weapons.”
‘And so the most serious round of nuclear proliferation since nuclear weapons were invented would have begun, with all the destabilising effects in the Middle East – and the threat of a new Cold War in the Middle East without necessarily all the safety mechansims.
‘That would be a disaster in world affairs.’
He said that Britain could be in range of Iranian nuclear weapons and that nuclear materials could fall into the hands of terrorists.
However he said all options must remain on the table when dealing with President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s regime.
There is growing speculation among Western officials that Israel may be planning to launch military attacks against Iranian missile facilities this summer, ahead of the US presidential elections this autumn.
Several Israeli diplomats have been unsuccessfully targeted by Iranian hit squads around the world in the last few days.
The US has told Israel it does not want Israel to attack Iran. However, earlier this month US defence secretary Leon Panetta told the Washington Post that he thought the window for an attack on Iran by Israel is between April and June.
President Barack Obama has stressed that he wants to allow time for new sanctions to damage Iran’s ailing economy before turning to a military approach.
But other US officials believe sanctions will not work. An official knowledgeable in Middle East policy told The Guardian: ‘The guys in Tehran are behaving like sanctions don’t matter, like they’re economy isn’t collapsing, like Israel isn’t going to do anything. Sanctions are all we’ve got to throw at the problem. If they fail then it’s hard to see how we don’t move to the ‘in extremis’ position.’
In his comments to The Telegraph Mr Hague said that the British Government is ‘not favouring the idea of anybody attacking Iran at the moment.’ He added that they support a ‘twin-track’ strategy of sanctions and pressure, and negotiations on the other hand.’
But he added: ‘We are taking nothing off the table.’ | weapons_science |

“Yes Sir! Three shot essentially into the same hole at 50 yards and basically the same at 100. That impresses me! From the range card you did for me, sighted dead on at 50 yards it’s dead on again at 200 yards and only 3-inches low at 250. I trued it to that at the 200 and 250-yard steel plates. At the latter I shot 3-inches low with a dead center hold. And I noticed on the range card that with the Trijicon 4-15X scope you mounted on the rifle for me, at 750 yards, I simply hold on target the tenth line down from the primary center crosshair. I have not trued at that distance, but next time I come to the ranch, I want to try to do exactly that. Not that I would ever shoot at a critter at that distance. But, I do admit shooting at steel plates that far with what most hunters consider an “elephant gun” is great fun.” I responded.
“Larry it’s been a couple of years since you visited Oak Creek. Would love to have you come hunt with us again.” As Donald Hill owner of Oak Creek Whitetail Ranch, located in central Missouri, spoke my mind drifted to years past and some of the absolute monster whitetail bucks I had taken hunting with Donald. All of those bucks had been taken with handguns, save one which I shot with a rifle. “Would love to have you come in early to mid-November just about the time the rut starts. Be a good time to rattle up some bucks, could be fun….”
When he mentioned rattling, I was hooked!
“It’s time!” said my hunting partner, Blake Barnett, who also serves as the co-host and producer of my television show.
I cast a questioning glance. “Time? Time for what? I’ve pretty well figured out what Ruger guns I’m using this fall and have them sighted in. I’ve got sufficient Hornady ammo to make it through the season and if I don’t I know where I can buy more. Not only that, I have had Travel with Guns book any flights. Got my Drake clothing packed for the first three hunts. Plus, I know exactly what licenses and permits I’m going to need this fall and have gotten most of them already. Now I’m just waiting for those hunts! So what do you mean it’s time?” | weapons_science |

AM General has submitted an independent JLTV solution for the EMD phase based on more than a decade of the company’s own investments in research, development and testing for the next-generation light tactical military vehicle.
AM General’s new Blast-Resistant Vehicle – Off Road (BRV-O) is a highly mobile and versatile platform that meets or exceeds 100 percent of the government’s program evaluation criteria including protection, performance, payload, transportability, reliability and affordability. BRV-O features a crew capsule and modular armor already proven effective in government-supervised blast testing. This AM General design can be readily adapted to future changes in U.S. military missions, enemy threats and new protection technologies as they emerge.
BRV-O also features a lightweight, fuel efficient, high performance engine; a self-leveling suspension system; a C4ISR backbone with open-standard networked architecture and clustered super-computing power, and other advanced components. These and other mature subsystems have been tested, refined and validated. This makes BRV-O cost effective and production ready, with the high degree of reliability needed by U.S. service members.
AM General also is supporting a separate proposal from General Tactical Vehicles, the joint venture formed in 2007 with General Dynamics Land Systems. GTV received one of three Defense Department contracts for the Technology Demonstration phase of the JLTV program.
Both of the proposals backed by AM General have the added value of the company’s 50-plus years of experience – making it, by far, the most experienced light tactical military vehicle developer and manufacturer in the United States.

manhattan project scientists list. October 28, 2020 Leave a comment. The Manhattan Project was one of the major successes in the field of nuclear science. The project brought the actual power of nuclear fission reactions and was the perfect combination of science, industry, and technology. The project left its foot marks behind by setting an example in front of the upcoming scientists and planet earth. Let's unveil some interesting facts about the Manhattan. Created by Sam Shaw. With Rachel Brosnahan, Michael Chernus, Christopher Denham, Katja Herbers. In 1943, in Los Alamos, New Mexico, a team of government scientists is working on the top secret Manhattan Project in a race to produce an atomic bomb before the Nazis. Meanwhile, their families adjust to a life on the military base The major scientists in on the Manhattan Project were Enrico Fermi, Leo Szilard, Robert Oppenheimer, Otto Hahn, Niels Bohr, Richard Feynman, Edward Teller and more.The most important were The. Oppenheimer becomes the project's scientific director. Dec. 2, 1942: Fermi produces the first controlled nuclear fission reaction at the University of Chicago. May 5, 1943: Japan becomes the primary target for any future atomic bomb according to the Military Policy Committee of the Manhattan Project. April 12, 1945: Roosevelt dies

Several hundred scientists and technicians worked at various times and at numerous secret facilities across the United States and Canada that were engaged in the research that would produce the first atomic weapons. Scientists such as Robert Oppenheimer, Enrico Fermi, and Edward Teller became legendary figures not only in the scientific community but among the general population when their crucial work on this project.
The Manhattan Project. In 1934, German scientists discovered nuclear fission, the splitting of an atom of uranium into two elements. If fission became a chain reaction, the energy of the nucleus of the uranium atom might be released. A very large number of atoms split very quickly might result in a massive explosion. Five years later, Albert Einstein wrote a letter to President Roosevelt describing the potential power of a nuclear bomb. Einstein was a German-born Jewish scientist who left.

Twenty-six white male workers who did the original plutonium research and development work at Los Alamos have been examined periodically over the past 50 y to identify possible health effects from internal plutonium depositions Even though a huge number of people contributed to the Manhattan Project, the work of the scientists involved at the time was kept top secret. The resulting atomic bombs, two of which were dropped. The group of scientists that were working on the Manhattan Project were the most intelligent people in the country at the time. The scientists that contributed to the project include Albert Einstein, Marie Curie, and Niels Bohr, as wells as hundreds of other scientists, mathematicians, and engineers. It began when Einstein wrote a letter to President Franklin Roosevelt regarding Germany's.
Colonel James Marshall established the Manhattan Project on the 18th floor of an office building at 270 Broadway in Manhattan in June of 1942. The Army Corps of Engineers worked out of it, and New York City was peppered with physics laboratories, including a major one at Columbia University. Much of the United States' stockpile of uranium ore was in the city in warehouses or on docks. The scientists involved in the Manhattan Project had mixed feelings about the legacy of their work. They had, in their eyes, opened up entirely new questions about the role of science in society. Even during the war, scientists at Los Alamos began to contemplate scenarios that would have previously been almost unthinkable: the ability, through the application of basic scientific discoveries.

After six years of research and experimentation, the Manhattan Project scientists finally created what they believed was a workable nuclear weapon. Now, it was time to test it. In case things went wrong, the bomb was placed in a containment vessel made out of 214 tons of steel with walls 14 inches thick. If it didn't work, Groves and Oppenheimer believed, the containment vessel would let. Aside from scientific curiosity, the main motivation of the Manhattan project scientists throughout the duration of the development of the atomic bomb was a fear of a nuclear-empowered Hitler. The scientists reasoned that if the United States was the first major power to wield atomic weapons, then peace could be brought to the world and Hitler's reign stopped short of attacking Americans.

The network of seven individuals and six entities conducted financial transactions and facilitated procurement of sensitive and critical parts and technology for key actors in Iran's ballistic missile development, the US Treasury said.
Beneficiaries of the network include Iran's Ministry of Defence and Armed Forces Logistics and its affiliates: Parchin Chemicals Industries (PCI), Aerospace Industries Organisation, Iran Electronics Industries and P.B. Sadr.
P.B. Sadr is PCI's key intermediary for the procurement of parts to develop missile propellant, the Treasury said, while PCI, the network's main beneficiary, is a subsidiary of the ministry's Defense Industries Organisation.
PCI produces ammunition, explosives and solid propellants for rockets and missiles.
The firms sanctioned Tuesday are Beijing Shiny Nights Technology Development, Qingdao Zhongrongtong Trade Development, Hong Kong Ke.Do International Trade Co, Lingoe Process Engineering Ltd. and Zhejiang Qingji Ind. Co.
They shipped centrifuges for producing fuels, non-ferrous metals with potential military use, electronics and gyroscopes to previously sanctioned Iranian government bodies and private entities involved in building the missiles.
Among the individuals sanctioned Tuesday is Iran's defence attaché in Beijing, Davoud Damghani, who co-ordinated the purchase of Chinese supplies for Iran's defence industry, according to the Treasury.
Iran unveils new missile
Also on June 6, Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) unveiled what it said was its first "hypersonic missile" in a ceremony at an undisclosed location.
IRGC's aerospace commander Amir-Ali Hajizadeh said the name of the new missile -- Fattah (Victor) -- was chosen by Iranian leader Ali Khamenei.
Fattah was shown off Tuesday in a display surrounded by banners bearing Qur'anic verses about victory, with Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi and senior IRGC commanders taking part in the unveiling ceremony.
The IRGC claimed the "super missile" is precision-guided, has a range of 1,400km and can move at a maximum speed of 5,145 metres per second -- "around Mach 13" -- when it enters space.
The IRGC's claim would mean Fattah travels as fast as or faster than any known Russian or Chinese hypersonic missile, an assertion analysed by military observers as preposterous, especially given Iran's history of false claims.
The missile's warhead has a spherical engine that runs on solid fuel with a movable nozzle that allows the warhead to increase its own speed and move in all directions, according to the IRGC.
In the unveiling ceremony, Hajizadeh boasted that Fattah is manufactured with the use of "technology that is unknown to most countries", is capable of bypassing anti-missile systems and can penetrate missile defence systems.
Iran is one of four countries in the world with this kind of missile, he said.
A billboard emblazoned with a picture of the missile and the phrase "400 seconds to Tel Aviv" in Farsi, Arabic and Hebrew appeared Wednesday on a main street in Tehran.
IRGC-affiliated media said the phrase was taken from a Jerusalem Post article, claiming Israel was "threatened" by Iran's missile system when the IRGC announced in 2022 that it was working on developing a hypersonic missile.
But the Jerusalem Post article, published in November, actually referenced the IRGC's weekly publication, Sobh-e Sadeq, which had published the phrase in Hebrew on its front page at the time.
Concern over nuclear activities
Iran continues to brag about its nuclear and missile programmes and threaten other countries, while insisting its nuclear programme is for peaceful purposes.
The United Kingdom, France and Germany (E3 group) have expressed concern about Iran's nuclear activities in recent statements to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).
As the global nuclear watchdog continues its investigation into Iran's nuclear activities, IAEA director-general Rafael Grossi on Monday said Iran has been postponing the re-installation of monitoring equipment it removed a year ago.
The E3 issued a joint statement to the IAEA board of governors concerning Iran's implementation of its commitments based on the 2015 nuclear deal with global powers, known as the Comprehensive Joint Plan of Action (JCPOA).
E3 countries "see no substantial change in Iran's behaviour", the statement said.
"Over the reporting period, Iran has unabatedly continued escalating its nuclear programme beyond civilian justification, and has displayed little will to implement the transparency commitments laid out in the Joint Statement agreed last March," it said.
Iran has further expanded its stockpile of 5%, 20% and 60% enriched uranium, bringing its total enriched uranium stockpile to over 21 times the JCPOA limit, it added.
"Iran's stockpile of 60% enriched uranium has increased by almost one third, to 114.1kg in the form of UF6," the E3 statement said.
Iran also has continued to install additional advanced centrifuge cascades, it added, noting that last January's detection of uranium particles enriched to 83.7% U-235 highlights the seriousness of Iran's continuing escalation.
Urging Iran to reverse its escalation of nuclear activities, the E3 group expressed regret that Iran has chosen to accelerate its nuclear programme, AFP reported. | weapons_science |

Other names for these ships include rams, armorclads, iron gophers, iron elephants, iron coffins, turtle-backs, and mud-crushers. Attempts to armor war vessels had been made during the 300 years prior to the American Civil War, but it was not until the mid-nineteenth century that steam-powered warships and the development of large-caliber rifled cannons made armoring practical and indeed necessary. The Civil War clearly demonstrated the superiority of ironclads and revolutionized naval warfare.
The Confederacy concluded in June 1861 that ironclad warships would best suit its needs. With its limited shipbuilding capacity, the Confederate navy found it more advantageous to build a few impregnable warships to combat the numerically superior Union navy. The first Confederate attempt was the CSS Virginia, a conversion of the Union frigate Merrimack that had been burned at Gosport Navy Yard when Union forces abandoned the Norfolk, Va., area. Although slow and able to operate only in deep water, the Virginia proved a resounding success. In March 1862, in Hampton Roads, Va., the brand-new ironclad set out to destroy the entire Union blockading squadron. On the first day of fighting, the Virginia handily dispatched two wooden Union vessels. The rest were saved from certain destruction on the second day by the appearance of the Federal ironclad Monitor. The two impregnable ships fought to a draw, but the Virginia's defeat of two wooden warships confirmed the preeminence of armorclad vessels.
Construction of a dozen or more Confederate ironclad gunboats, rams, and floating batteries was begun in North Carolina during the war. Most of them were not completed, including the Wilmington. There would have been many more had not most of the state's larger coastal towns fallen early in the war. The paucity of Confederate records makes identifying these vessels difficult. However, four ironclad rams were commissioned and finished in North Carolina. They were the North Carolina and Raleigh, built in Wilmington on the Cape Fear River; the Neuse, built at Whitehall and completed at Kinston on the Neuse River; and the Albemarle, built at Edwards Ferry and completed at Halifax on the Roanoke River. Considering North Carolina's lack of maritime industries or a major prewar port, the state made a substantial contribution to the Confederate navy's ironclad fleet.
At least two ironclad floating batteries were converted from existing lightships. The Frying Pan Shoals lightship was being converted to a floating battery in the rear of Fort Caswell, near the Western Bar Inlet of the Cape Fear River, when a party from the Union ship Mount Vernon burned it in late December 1861. The Arctic was converted in 1863 and later used as a receiving ship for the Wilmington Station. In March 1863 and January 1865 the Union navy reported Confederate ironclad sightings, but there is no documentation to confirm either account.
Union ironclads were also associated with North Carolina. The USS Monitor sank off Cape Hatteras on 31 Dec. 1862. The following Union ironclad vessels took part in the 24-27 Dec. 1864 and 12-15 Jan. 1865 attacks on Fort Fisher: the single-turreted monitors Canonicus, Dictator, Mahopac, Saugus, the double-turreted monitor Monadnock, and the ironclad warship New Ironsides.
After the Civil War, there was little need for ironclad vessels. Few of the ships were seaworthy, and those only barely so. The majority were scrapped for iron. In the late nineteenth century improvements in the steelmaking process ended the need for ironclad vessels. Rather than using a wooden hull with armor only above and a few feet below the waterline, the entire ship could be made from steel. Nonetheless, ironclads were a crucial innovation in the history of naval warfare.

Although the firearms are kept in a stable environment within the Museum galleries, many have not been disassembled and thoroughly examined in over thirty years. Each firearm was documented with photographs taken when assembled and disassembled and before, during, and after conservation treatment. Detailed examination reports, proposals for curatorial approval for treatment, and final treatment reports were written for each firearm.
A Wheellock Pistol: Compensation for Lost Material
This wheellock pistol, made in Germany around 1540, is one of the oldest firearms in the Kienbusch Collection, and one of very few of such early date in the world. The pistol has a wooden stock with simple carving along the forestock, and an iron alloy lock mechanism and barrel with etched and gilt foliate designs. The octagonal barrel has a 12 mm diameter smooth bore. The letters "M S" are stamped on the breech of the barrel, and an indistinct mark is struck on the lock plate. The makers of the barrel, lock, and stock, and the original owner of the pistol are unknown. Read more>>
Both the interior and exterior of the lock mechanism were dirty. The interior components were covered with rust, and there was a notable loss in the wood at the muzzle end of the forestock. The pistol was disassembled and the metal components were cleaned with organic solvents and given a protective coating of wax. To fill the loss in the forestock, a piece of maple wood was adhered and shaped to the stock, and gaps surrounding the repair were filled. The repair piece was colored and coated to match the surrounding wood. The interior surface of the repair piece was not colored so that it may be easily identified as a modern repair when the pistol is examined in the future. In addition, the restoration is reversible and is fully documented in the conservation report on this object.
A Flintlock Long Gun: Structural Repair
This flintlock gun was made around 1730 in Vienna by the celebrated gunmaker Georg Keiser (Austrian, active Vienna, 1664-c. 1740). Keiser was one of the leading Austrian gunmakers from the period. He made this gun for Princess Wilhelmina Charlotte Caroline of Brandenburg-Ansbach. The gun has an ornately carved stock, "watered" iron alloy barrel and lock, and openwork gilt decorative plates. Both the lockplate and barrel are inlaid with the gunmaker’s name in gold. Read more>>
At some point in the past, the thin forestock of this gun had broken in two and was held in place only by the pins that secure the barrel to the stock. Although the iron alloy barrel and lock mechanism were in good condition, the gilt brass mounts on the stock had dark spots of corrosion. To repair the broken forestock, the two components were adhered with dilute hide glue, and "bandages" of strong Japanese paper were attached to the interior surface for additional support. Colored wax was used to fill remaining gaps in the crack on the exterior and give a uniform appearance to the wood. The barrel and lock were cleaned with solvents and coated with wax. The gilt brass components were cleaned with organic solvents on areas of thick corrosion. Residues were cleared with deionized water.
A Combined Hunting Sword and Flintlock Pistol: Corrosion Removal
A recent Museum purchase, this object combines a sword and a flintlock pistol, and was created by Johann Andreas Niefind in Olbernhau in Saxony about 1730. The pistol barrel has a 12 mm diameter smooth bore and is attached to the sword at the base of the blade. The wooden grip is carved into the shape of a dog’s head. This object is an especially fine and early example of the type of "combination" weapon used by eighteenth-century horsemen to hunt stags and boars. The weapon was used on horseback as a firearm, and then the hunter dismounted and used the weapon as a sword. Read more>>
The pistol-sword had thick corrosion and grime on its interior components, creating a challenging disassembly for examination and treatment. Both the sword blade and the pistol had old corrosion and minor scratches on their surfaces. The dog’s head had losses on the face that had been filled with repair material in a prior restoration. Some of these areas stood out because the color of the fill material did not match the surrounding wood. The metallic pistol components were soaked in an organic solvent to aid in disassembly. Once the parts could be separated, they were cleaned with a variety of solvents to remove grime and corrosion. The interior components of the flintlock mechanism and the sword blade were gently polished with fine abrasives and protected with a coating of paste wax. The goals of polishing were to remove some of the disfiguring scratches, and the more recent corrosion products, and to restore a homogenous appearance to the metallic components of the pistol and the sword. Older, stable black corrosion products remained in deep surface pits because their removal would have caused damage to the blade. The prior repairs on the dog’s face were inpainted to match the adjacent wood. | weapons_science |

Unless the US comes clean with Israel, and unless the Non-Proliferation Treaty becomes more meaningful so that Pakistan, India, and North Korea are signatories and the US sharply reduces its own nuclear arsenal, and unless the US joins China and India on the No First Use pledge, Iran has the right to nuclear deterrent.
Considering that only the US has used nuclear weapons so far, Iran may just be another country with a weapon that it cannot use in a hot war, but use it for diplomatic and geopolitical leverage. Pakistan has nuclear weapons and the record speaks for itself on how much nuclear deterrent has helped that country.
Where does the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) stand on Iran? In February 2010 the IAEA confirmed that Iran had begun enriching uranium to higher levels. “Altogether this raises concerns about the possible existence in Iran of past or current undisclosed activities related to the development of a nuclear payload for a missile.” Western powers and IAEA are always careful to claim that Iran is on its way to developing nuclear weapons, and that is exactly what I have pointed out in previous postings. On the other hand, the IAEA has allegedly abused its authority by collecting and sharing confidential information about Iranian scientists who are then targeted for assassination. The US has skillfully used the IAEA as part of a long-standing containment policy of Iran.
As far as Iran buying North Korean missiles, that seems to be the case and China most likely facilitated the purchase in order to help Korea’s economy. There is so much propaganda on this issue, it is difficult to say that Iran purchase parts, entire missiles, or anything from North Korea. If indeed Iran bought N. Korean missiles, what else could it do given US containment policy? Besides, is there something sacred and holy about French missiles versus the inherently evil N. Korean missiles? Do missiles not kill and destroy just the same regardless of origin? Where is Iran to purchase weapons when it is cut off from most of the world owing to US containment policy?
Given the US-led Cold War against Iran, Russia and China are not only taking advantage of striking advantageous trade deals for their countries, but they are using Iran for all it is worth politically and militarily–and why not? On the other hand, it is true that the nuclear program is now a matter of national pride and widely supported by the Iranians, largely thanks to the US and Israel that made it an issue. Iranian President Ahmadinejad has been using nuclear energy development (behind which could be a military agenda) as a nationalist and patriotic catalyst to rally public support behind the regime.
In connection with the nuclear program–energy or military is not at issue–Iranian leaders have been far more defensive than they need be and of course they have been extremely anti-Zionist to the degree of losing the propaganda war with the very audience they want on their side. While I share the view of UN Resolution 3379 (Nov. 1975) that Zionism is a form of racism and racial discrimination, I am also well aware that anti-Zionist rhetoric particularly from Iranian leaders comes across to the general public as anti-Semitic and that is exactly how western media interprets anti-Zionist rhetoric from government officials in Tehran.
Exactly what is the purpose of hyperbolic anti-Zionist rhetoric coming from the highest levels of Iranian government? I can understand it from Palestinians fighting on a daily basis for their homes, for water, for the right to see their relatives separated by the Israeli wall. Iran, however, is surrounded by Arab enemies, the Iranian public is already convinced that Israel is the enemy, thus employing anti-Zionist rhetoric defeats the purpose of gaining sympathy from western governments, NGOs, and the general public that Iran wants on its side.
Regardless of Iran’s nuclear program, the US will probably never achieve its goal of going back to the Cold War when Iran was an American satellite managed by the Shah. From what I read, and from what one of my Iranian academic friends who travels back and forth to Tehran tells me, it is true that Iran has been making immense progress in the areas of science and technology, despite US containment policy. However, Iran under the current regime is undermining its own goals of securing more allies and enjoying greater leverage internationally so that Russia and China would not be taking advantage of the country under US containment policy that is holding back Iran’s progress. | weapons_science |

Hundreds if not thousands of civilians would have died. So either the “Western powers” knowingly risked killing thousands of innocent people — or else they knew the building was not actually a chemical weapons facility.
Thus we are left with two possible conclusions: either they are “gas-killing animals” happy to murder untold numbers of innocent people in a military action (the very crime of which they accuse Asad); or they are deeply cynical liars using entirely bogus “humanitarian” concerns to advance a geopolitical agenda of domination in the Middle East that has already killed more than a million innocent human beings, displaced millions more, destroyed several countries and destabilized the entire world. There really are no other options.
Again: either they genuinely believed it was a chemical weapons factory and they blew it to smithereens without the slightest regard for what would happen to those in the area; or they knew it wasn’t a WMD site at all. Either option makes an utter mockery of their sickening false piety about their concern for “innocent Syrian victims.”
And by the way, what DID happen after the strike? Nothing. There was no dispersal of deadly chemicals, not even in the ruins of the building itself, as AFP and the Times of India report. Foreign reporters toured the site, without protective gear, in perfect safety. Obviously, there had been no chemical weapons there. Of course, the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) has repeatedly verified that Syria has dismantled all its chemical weapons facilities and that its stocks of chemical weapons were destroyed years ago, under international supervision. That doesn’t necessarily mean there might possibly be some secret government chemical weapon facilities somewhere in Syria, although there has not yet been any evidence of this. But it does mean that the “chemical weapons factory” that the Trump-May-Macron axis claims to have hit in Damascus was almost certainly nothing of the kind. | weapons_science |

With its superb streamlining, radical mid-engine layout, dorsal air intake, tricycle undercarriage, cockpit-side “car doors” (complete with roll-down windows) and a cannon firing through the propeller shaft, the prewar Bell P-39 Airacobra had the makings of a revolutionary frontline fighter. A decision by the U.S. Army Air Corps to delete the prototype’s turbo-supercharger from the production version relegated the P-39 to a sidebar in aviation history. When the Airacobra found its niche, however, it proved a formidable foe for the best German pilots, including Gerhard Barkhorn.
Before 1941 the USAAC, relying on wide oceans to secure America from bomber attack (and not planning to protect Britain from Germany), saw less need for high-altitude interceptors and escorts than for low-altitude ground attack planes. Down-powered for that role, the P-39 saw action over the Mediterranean and southwest Pacific (where the P-400 export model was known as “a P-39 with a Zero on its tail”). The fighter-starved British bought more than 200 P-400s, but after just one mission over France in October 1941 judged them unfit for high-altitude combat. They withdrew the lot and shipped most of them to Russia.
Like the prewar Americans, the Soviets had no need for high-altitude fighters. Instead of wide oceans, they had far-flung steppes and the Ural Mountains to shield their factories. Air combat over Russia was fought not as it had been over England, but as over Poland—down low, in support of ground troops. In dense air the P‑39 didn’t need a blower. The Airacobra’s mid-mounted engine gave it sports car balance and handling, and its pilot, seated high over the drivetrain, had a superb view. It came to gunfights packing more heat than the Messerschmitt Me-109F. Soviet pilots, for whom the P-39 was the Kobrushka (“Dear Cobra”), found it superior to the fighters with which their country started the war, and even to the Focke-Wulf Fw-190 at low altitude. Probably the Kobra’s greatest asset, though, was its radio, which allowed Soviet pilots to communicate effectively and coordinate their attacks.
“Messerschmitt Me 262A” by Jerry Boucher
“The Forgotten Fighter’ by Stan Stokes
Future Marshal of Aviation Alexander Pokryshkin (whose P-39N #42-9004 is shown here) and Major General of Aviation Grigoriy Rechkalov, the second- and third-ranking Soviet aces, both scored most of their victories in P-39s. After the war Pokryshkin was briefly blacklisted for preferring the Airacobra to Soviet fighters.
For a 1937 design, the P-39 had a long service life. (There aren’t many combat aircraft that ever reached the letter Q in subvariants.) It was involved in some of the last air-to-air actions of the European war. On May 8, 1945, a P-39Q flown by Red Army Air Force Lieutenant Sergei Stepanov had the bad luck to encounter a flight of Messerschmitt Me-262s on their way to surrender behind British lines, and was shot down by 1st Lt. Fritz Stehle. Conversely, Colonel Georgy Golubev claimed a Dornier Do-217 shot down near Prague on May 9 for his 16th victory. Golubev was also flying a P-39Q. | weapons_science |

Wondering why the world seems just about to burst apart at the seams in a scream of hellfire? Perhaps it's all the unfired handguns.
If you were sitting crosslegged on the floor in a small windowless room trying to read a magazine about blonde men, and just a few feet away from you there was a bomb loaded to the brim with enough explosive material to flatten a few city blocks and all you had to do was walk over to it and push one little button, would you be able to concentrate on your magazine, or would you feel a little bit like there's something pretty hugely fucking unresolved in the air?
Well that's pretty much how we all go through our day without even realizing it because at any given moment we're, all of us, just a few steps away from a shiny, poorly hidden handgun that has never once been discharged. It's loaded, maybe it's even cocked and about to slide off a dressertop onto the hammer if someone just happens to slam the door a little too aggressively. If it falls and goes off, yeah someone might get shot but at least the fucking bullet will finally shoot out of the goddamn barrel and the whole point of the contraption's existence will finally be fucking ripped out of potentifuckingality!
Sorry. It's just that every Thursday afternoon over twelve suburban women buy handguns "just in case." And that "just in case" might never ever happen and it's starting to hurt. So today if you have a handgun and there's a bullet inside it you have to pull the trigger. Everyone's going to feel a lot more at ease once all that artillery starts to fly and I'd like to point out that throughout this entire post about guns not being fired there has been no mention made of blue balls until now. Handguns full of bullets not being fired is just like erect cocks not being stimulated to the point of ejaculating semen.

The U.S. has implemented a two-track nuclear policy since the Cold War. The first track is non-proliferation and the second track involves securing all nuclear materials. The two-track nuclear policy has been effective, but at times non-proliferation efforts are contradicted by the US supporting nuclear programs by securing nuclear materials. The current greatest threat to nuclear security is the acquisition of nuclear materials by an extremist or terrorist organization. Can the US combat the current growing threat of loose nukes with the two-track policy? | weapons_science |

The only way you can remove them is to blow them up with your ship. this might require some shield money, but it's not all that difficult. Try this before you do, though. Type /takecolony in your biodome and see if they become yours. Sometimes that works.

I'm not sure what you were shooting at them with. Some weapons are better at destroying them than others. Some effective weapons for destroying cannons in space are (in order of effectiveness): Surface missiles (vulture ship special weapon), photon torpedoes (ISC special weapon), graviton beam, explosive charges, fusion blaster... ect. you can always resort to destroying them with negotiator missiles that can be bought at starbases (or starports on some servers). | weapons_science |

There was a requirement of all round traverse, necessary during the pocket battles were an attack could come from any direction. Also the new guns had to be able to fire at high elevation ranges this because the guns had to be concealed in forests and they had to fire through the trees.
On this page some proposals Krupp made for these new guns.
The masters for these models were made by Hubert Cance
"10,5cm leichte Feldhaubitze.
Both Krupp and Skoda made designs for this gun. This is the Krupp version. It had a three legged carriage, the second design used a copy of the carriage of the 8.8 cm PAK 43 anti tank gun.
15cm schwere Feldhaubitze, model of mock-up.
When a similar requirement was made for a 15cm gun the plans for the 10,5cm leichte Feldhaubitze were scaled up. The result was the 15cm schwere Feldhaubitze. It should have a range of at least 18000 m to outrange the Russian artillery.
Only a mock-up was made and the design was never completed.
12.8cm Kanone 44.
During the war the German army was very impressed by the Russian 12.2 cm guns they captured. There fore the designers were asked if they could develop a similar gun.
A calibre of 12,8 cm was chosen because guns of this size were already manufactured so the machinery to make them was there. Some prototypes were made but no complete guns were delivered, although some gun barrels were fitted on make shift carriages. | weapons_science |

The target, CSNS’s first, was installed in 2017 and had completed three years of service. Engineers used remotely controlled robotic equipment such as a servo-manipulator and master-slave manipulator to remove the target, place it into a lead-shielded barrel, and transfer it to a designated storage place. A new target was then installed and a cyclic water pressure hold test was subsequently conducted. The results showed that the space between the target and the base was well sealed.
The target, as the core component of CSNS for producing neutrons, was highly radioactive after a long period of operation. To protect the engineers from radiation, the target replacement work had to be done in a well-shielded hot cell via remote control. It was the first time for CSNS to replace the target since it began operation. The entire process took a whole month to complete.
CSNS also plans to conduct target Port-Irradiation Examination of the retired target, so as to provide more information for R&D on the next generation of high-powered targets. | weapons_science |

Atop a 100-foot steel tower they had placed a large metal ball studded with plugs and wires. The “gadget,” as they called it, was a code word for their secret weapon. Inside it sat another globe made of high explosives, and inside that was a core of subcritical plutonium. This device was the first nuclear explosive, a prototype bomb built to end a war.
The atomic age began with a bang: the great mass of humanity first knew a threshold had been crossed when it witnessed the incineration of two cities. But the newly harnessed atom had a peaceful aspect as well. Not just a global sword of Damocles, it could also be, as Walt Disney later put it, “our friend, the atom.” Nuclear technology could advance medicine and agriculture. It could, as envisioned by Lewis Strauss, chairman of the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission (AEC), provide the world with energy “too cheap to meter.” If J. Robert Oppenheimer and his Promethean colleagues had given mankind the means for species suicide, maybe they had also provided a means of salvation.
Dwight Eisenhower was a military man, a former World War II commander drafted into a presidential campaign. He entered office in 1953 as the first chief executive elected after the advent of the bomb, when both scientific and governmental authorities had just begun to grapple with its ramifications. Eisenhower recognized how the world of war had changed. That December, in a speech before the United Nations, he said, “I feel impelled to speak today in a language that in a sense is new—one which I, who have spent so much of my life in the military profession, would have preferred never to use. That new language is the language of atomic warfare.”
But in that same speech Eisenhower proposed another vision: the peaceful, controlled distribution of nuclear technology to all the countries of the world. In exchange for the potentially life-changing knowledge, countries would agree not to pursue atomic weapons. In outline it was a simple plan but a revolutionary one; it was, as Eisenhower put it, an attempt to ensure “this greatest of destructive forces can be developed into a great boon for the benefit of all mankind.”
Atoms for Peace, as the program came to be called, appeared simple on its surface, yet it evolved from a complex constellation of motives and objectives. It was neither wholly utopian nor baldly pragmatic. The program was in many ways a product of its time, but even today we face the consequences of those early decisions.
The Martial Atom
When President Franklin Roosevelt died in early 1945, his successor, Harry Truman, knew nothing about the Manhattan Project, then in the final stages of developing the atomic bomb. In his diary he described it as “the most terrible bomb in the history of the world,” likening it to “fire destruction” found in biblical prophecy. Truman ultimately made the decision to use the fruits of Oppenheimer’s work in Japan.
For Truman the weapon was a secret revealed only once he had risen to the most powerful position in the country. Likewise, the bomb was a revelation for the public and the U.S. Congress, whose members quickly scrambled to comprehend and control this new technology after the war’s end. The scientists and military men, having worked on it for years, had a head start on the politicians and the public when it came to understanding the new era they had birthed. Consequently, those already in the know drove much of the early debate.
During the war nuclear knowledge was a closely held secret, one cultivated by the scientists but ultimately controlled by the military. Many of the scientists involved with the Manhattan Project bristled under that authority; others, particularly Oppenheimer, saw their duty as merely to produce the technology, leaving political and military decision making to those in charge. But these scientists knew their work would become public one day, and they had begun to think through the ramifications of a nuclear world.
One crucial question was whether the United States and its allies could maintain a nuclear monopoly, and if so, for how long. Some strategists saw the bomb as a hard-won advantage, one the Soviets would take years to match. These planners estimated the Soviet Union wouldn’t have its own nuclear weapons for a generation. Others recognized the bomb as a piece of technology—applied scientific knowledge—unlikely to remain secret for long. (The question of nuclear monopoly became moot in 1949 when the Soviets, thanks to a combination of scientific talent and espionage, detonated their own nuclear weapon.)
Deciding who ultimately controlled the bomb defined early attempts at regulation, such as the May-Johnson bill of late 1945. The bill, produced almost entirely by Truman’s advisers, compelled many scientists to voice opposition to military control of the technology. Opposition grew largely out of the belief that during peacetime, control of nuclear technology—particularly atomic weapons—should reside in the hands of civilian leaders. Yet even those in favor of civilian control agreed that “security” meant “secrecy” and that it was best to keep other countries from developing nuclear technology. The debate turned on which group could better maintain nuclear secrecy: civilians or the military.
In the face of such scientific criticism the May-Johnson bill withered in committee, replaced with a more civilian-focused proposal. The debate culminated on August 1, 1946, with the passage of the Atomic Energy Act, which established the AEC, the civilian body that would control nuclear information. The law also created a unique legal category: that of “restricted data.” Any information related to atomic weapons, the production of nuclear material, or nuclear energy would be “born classified.” Such data was so important to national security, the thinking went, that it would be preemptively classified and shared only with the commission’s approval. That effectively froze out allies of the United States, including Canada and the United Kingdom. Both had contributed knowledge and manpower to the Manhattan Project and had received wartime promises that the technology would be shared.
But Congress granted the AEC unprecedented regulatory powers for developing, producing, and controlling atomic energy in all its forms, while imposing its own strict controls. In addition to the technology-transfer freeze and the blanket secrecy of the “born classified” category, the FBI would have to closely vet scientists and contractors accessing AEC information. (In one of the era’s sad ironies Oppenheimer himself was stripped of clearance in 1954 over suspicions he was sympathetic to Communism.) The AEC took over the development of the U.S. atomic arsenal; research took place in government-owned labs and was tightly controlled by the commission. Congress had given the AEC the power to shape the world’s postwar atomic future—largely in secret—and that’s exactly what it did.
The Peaceful Atom
A week after Eisenhower’s election, on a foggy, sodden morning, he arrived at the clubhouse of the Augusta National Golf Club in Georgia. There the president-elect was met by Roy B. Snapp, the secretary of the AEC. Snapp wore a gun, a requirement given the sensitive information he carried: a memorandum detailing the current state of U.S. nuclear technology. He was to brief Eisenhower on its contents, then burn the document.
In the half-dozen years since the AEC’s inception the atomic world had changed dramatically. Though tasked with developing peaceful as well as military nuclear technology, most of the AEC’s early work involved weapons research. In 1948 it began testing new designs on Enewetak Atoll in the Pacific Ocean; the tests led to a growing stockpile of nuclear weapons. The following September, however, the Soviet Union detonated its own nuclear device. In response the AEC starting building a more powerful thermonuclear weapon, often called a hydrogen bomb because part of its energy comes from the fusion of hydrogen; this project became one of the largest in U.S. history, involving several years and several billion dollars spent at research facilities across the country.
When Snapp met with Eisenhower, he revealed to the president-elect that the project had succeeded. On November 1, 1952, the United States had detonated the first full-scale thermonuclear device. The blast was equivalent to 10 million tons of TNT—500 times as powerful as the bomb dropped on Hiroshima. Elugelab Island, where the new hydrogen bomb had been tested, was vaporized, leaving only a watery crater 1,500 yards across.
The news troubled Eisenhower. The failure to internationalize nuclear technology—as some scientists had hoped to do—had started an arms race between the United States and the Soviet Union. Eisenhower, the former general, understood the strategic necessity of a nuclear arsenal but saw no need “for us to build enough destructive power to destroy everything.” He didn’t fear the Soviets or their arsenal, but he worried that as atomic bombs became cheaper and more prevalent, they might be viewed as just another conventional weapon waiting to be used. The deadlier hydrogen bomb only worried him more.
Eisenhower had come to the meeting with ideas of his own, particularly about atomic energy. Charles A. Thomas, president of the Monsanto Chemical Company, had suggested to Eisenhower a larger role for private industry in developing nuclear-power plants; the AEC, some industrialists felt, had not done enough to successfully commercialize nuclear power. Eisenhower, believing that government should allow private industry to carry out economic policy wherever possible, was inclined to agree.
So President Eisenhower entered office with his own beliefs about atomic secrecy. Early in his term he launched Operation Candor with the express goal of explaining to the American public the risks and rewards of the atomic age. The administration attempted to balance secrecy with transparency, as Eisenhower recognized the tactical advantage of keeping the Soviets guessing but saw the nuclear question as about more than just weaponry.
Operation Candor may have represented an evolution in political thinking, but Eisenhower was ready to make an even more serious break with the past. On December 8, 1953, he went before the U.N.’s General Assembly to give a 20-minute speech. He began by warning that nuclear technology would only grow cheaper and that atomic weapons would become available to more countries, possibly all of them. Devastating surprise attacks, he cautioned, would become a possibility. Yet he also spoke of redirecting nuclear research to peaceful ends. He proposed an International Atomic Energy Agency that would collect, store, and distribute fissionable materials—a responsibly managed “uranium bank.” He described in glowing terms the future prospects of nuclear power. Finally, he pledged the United States’ “determination to help solve the fearful atomic dilemma—to devote its entire heart and mind to find the way by which the miraculous inventiveness of man shall not be dedicated to his death, but consecrated to his life.” As his speech concluded, the delegates broke into applause.
Why had Eisenhower broken so completely with Harry Truman’s strategy of U.S. control and secrecy? In some ways he hadn’t. In 1946 Truman asked the U.S. Department of State to develop an international control plan for fissionable material; the resulting report declared fissionable material produced by atomic power could too easily be diverted to military use. But by late 1953 the Soviets had their own atomic arsenal and even a hydrogen bomb. Truman’s strategy of clamping down on nuclear knowledge hadn’t worked. The nuclear arms race was well under way. The United States would continue to participate in the race, while also reassuring its European allies that it didn’t intend to provoke a nuclear apocalypse. Eisenhower’s canny strategy emphasized the atom’s peaceful uses while allowing development of atomic weapons of even greater destructive power. Atoms for Peace was, like virtually all politics, intended partly as a propaganda maneuver.
But this propaganda was more than mere words. Within a year the U.S. Atomic Energy Act was revised: the United States would now provide nuclear-power technology to countries that pledged not to develop nuclear weapons. Much in the way the atom had been split, American policy makers tried to split the military and peaceful uses of nuclear technology, and with equally world-changing results. The United States began training foreign scientists; it declassified reams of nuclear research; it sponsored nuclear reactors worldwide and provided allies with fissionable material. It was a remarkable shift from the preceding years of secrecy, one designed as a show of America’s leadership and peaceful generosity, contrasted with the Soviet’s bellicosity. The name itself, Atoms for Peace, could be considered a kind of preemptive strike aimed at winning hearts and minds before the Soviet Union could introduce a similar program.
In just a few years the U.S. nuclear strategy shifted from near-absolute secrecy to that of remarkable openness. And while they understood the risk of this change, U.S. policy makers believed they could manage it. They enacted safeguards designed to cleave peaceful use from military development and monitored the movement of nuclear materials. They rejected requests for assistance from countries deemed untrustworthy or disingenuous.
With hindsight it is easy to recognize how authorities overestimated both their judgment and their capability. India provides an illuminating case study: after lobbying hard for assistance, in 1955 it was the first country to receive nuclear material under the program. On May 18, 1974, the message reached New Delhi: “The Buddha is smiling.” India had detonated its first nuclear device, 350 feet beneath the desert. A Canadian-supplied reactor provided easily diverted plutonium for the effort, while Atoms for Peace had helped train India’s nuclear scientists. Homi Sethna, who would later become chairman of the Indian Atomic Energy Commission, declared, “I can say with confidence that the initial cooperation agreement itself has been the bedrock on which our nuclear program has been built.” The test enraged Pakistani officials, who committed themselves to developing a nuclear arsenal with their own Canadian reactor and Atoms for Peace–trained scientists.
While critics can use such cases to label Atoms for Peace a naïve failure—a project that actually increased the proliferation it sought to curb—doing so means neglecting the program’s positive effects. Following Truman’s untenable position of absolute secrecy (spurred by estimates that the Soviet Union would take a generation to develop its own nukes), Atoms for Peace established the groundwork for future international nonproliferation efforts. It made possible regulated trade in nuclear technology and materials with accompanying safeguards. Out of it arose the International Atomic Energy Agency, which remains the global body for monitoring nuclear proliferation. As weapons-proliferation expert Peter R. Lavoy notes, “Indeed, the 1968 nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty can be seen as a refined, negotiated expression of Atoms for Peace and follow-on efforts by the Eisenhower administration.”
With Operation Candor, Eisenhower had sought to describe the nuclear situation to the world; with Atoms for Peace he prescribed a new regime, one based on transparency rather than secrecy that acknowledged the nuclear threat while envisioning the “peaceful atom.” We are still wrestling with the downside of the atomic age, as news headlines describe secret nuclear-weapons programs in Iran and North Korea and the radioactive aftereffects of a tsunami-battered nuclear-power plant in Fukushima, Japan. Eisenhower likely would have recognized the complexities of such a world as ours. Despite accusations that Atoms for Peace was hopelessly idealistic, it appears in hindsight to be a pragmatic, if imperfect, strategy. Eisenhower knew the bomb would be around for a long time and that we would continue to struggle in its shadow. He ended his presidency with a speech acknowledging as much: “As one who knows that another war could utterly destroy this civilization, which has been so slowly and painfully built over thousands of years—I wish I could say tonight that a lasting peace is in sight.” | weapons_science |

A ban treaty will close a legal gap with regard to nuclear weapons by making it unequivocal that no state has a legitimate claim to possess, build, test, deploy, use, or threaten to use them.
This year’s multilateral negotiations toward a legally binding prohibition on nuclear weapons reflect a growing global recognition that a nuclear-weapons ban is an integral part of the normative framework necessary to achieve and maintain a world free of nuclear weapons for some observers of nuclear issues, in and out of government, they also constitute a welcome shock to an otherwise lethargic nuclear disarmament and nonproliferation regime. A new nuclear arms race, new states possessing nuclear weapons, and a breakdown of the nonproliferation regime are the antithesis of those goals and that, among many other reasons, is why iran.
The nuclear weapons states have made solemn promises to the international community to negotiate in good faith to achieve nuclear disarmament the united states, russia, britain, france and china accepted this obligation when they signed the non-proliferation treaty (npt), and extended their promises at the 1995 npt review and extension conference and again at the 2000 npt review conference.
The main reason nuclear weapons should be banned is the simple fact that they kill or severely injure the most remembered use of a nuclear weapon was during world war 2, when we, the us, used the bomb on nagasaki and hiroshima killing millions and destroying everything in those cities. The smallest of the nuclear weapons would be an atomic bomb, because it’s only the size of a normal room these are only a few reasons nuclear weapons should be banned, many more can be listed, but what’s the use aren’t these bad enough already we will write a custom essay sample on why nuclear weapons should be banned. I hope that someday, before it's too late, all countries will ban the use of nuclear power voluntarily, the reason i say voluntarily is because they need to realize themselves that there are better sources that are not nearly so dangerous.
Why we must phase out nuclear power one year on from fukushima, we should not wait for another disaster to finally convince us to give up on nuclear power. That's why there should be some countries , which are against israel , have nuclear weapons [ israel which call for nuclear disarmament is creating nuclear weapons increasingly ] there should be a balance in the world, i mean the security council should do sth for this problem in order to create a state of balance in the world. Almost from the moment the first atomic bomb was detonated in new mexico in july 1945, the menacing aura of the nuclear age has inspired visions of a world free of nuclear weaponsnever more so. | weapons_science |

Security Council session on Iran's compliance with the 2015 nuclear deal (all times local):
Iran's deputy U.N. ambassador is accusing the United States of what he says is "another series of lies, fabrications, disinformation and deceptive statements" about the Iranian ballistic missile program.
Eshagh Al Habib told the U.N. Security Council on Wednesday that "Iran's ballistic missile program is designed to be exclusively capable of delivering conventional warheads required to deter foreign threats." He said it is not to deliver nuclear weapons.
U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo earlier urged the council to again impose a ban on Iranian missiles capable of delivering nuclear weapons.
Al Habib accused the U.S. of violating the 2015 Iran nuclear deal by pulling out of the pact and the council resolution that endorsed it. He urged the council "to hold the U.S. accountable" for recently re-imposing sanctions it lifted after the 2015 nuclear deal.
Russia's U.N. ambassador says "Iran is ready for a dialogue," but the United States and other Security Council members appear to be more interested in further escalating what he calls "anti-Iran hysteria and to demonize Iran."
Vassily Nebenzia told the Security Council Wednesday that this "just exacerbates an already difficult situation in the Middle East."
He said that "to lower the crisis, what we need to do is pool international and regional efforts." He said one way to start is to hold a conference with countries in the region, and then broaden it to the entire Middle East.
Nebenzia said Iran is not banned from conducting ballistic missile launches and there is no proof that its missiles are capable of carrying nuclear weapons.
He lashed out at the Trump administration, with U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo listening, for abandoning the 2015 nuclear deal with Iran and for "trying to punish all other member states" for implementing the agreement and the Security Council resolution endorsing it.
Nebenzia said, "It's time to abandon unilateral actions," and added, "History shows that they are doomed to failure."
U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo urged the U.N. Security Council on Wednesday to again ban Iranian ballistic missiles capable of delivering nuclear weapons and to maintain an arms embargo that is scheduled to be lifted in 2020 under the landmark Iran nuclear deal.
He also urged the council to prevent Iran from circumventing existing arms restrictions by authorizing the inspection of ships in ports and stopping them on the high seas.
Pompeo spoke at a Security Council meeting on Iran's compliance with the 2015 nuclear agreement that the Trump administration pulled out of earlier this year, and the council resolution endorsing it.
He was critical of the council for weakening the ban on nuclear-capable Iranian missiles that was in effect from 2010 to 2015. The resolution adopted in 2015 to endorse the nuclear deal "calls upon" — but does not require — Iran to halt such activity, and it also supports lifting the arms embargo in 2020.
Pompeo accused Iran of building the largest ballistic missile force in the region, one capable of threatening the Mideast and Europe, saying it has more than 10 ballistic missile systems in its inventory or in development. He quoting the head of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard's airspace division, Amir Ali Hajzadeh, boasting Monday that Iran is capable of building missiles with a range beyond 2,000 kilometers (1,200 miles).
"Iran has exploited the goodwill of nations and defied multiple Security Council resolutions in its quest for a robust ballistic missile force," Pompeo said. "The United States will never stand for this. No nation that seeks peace and prosperity in the Middle East should either."
But the United States faces an uphill struggle in getting Security Council approval for Pompeo's proposals, especially following U.S. withdrawal from the 2015 nuclear deal, which is still supported by the five other parties — Russia, China, Britain, France and Germany. And the Trump administration's re-imposition in November of sanctions against Iran that it had eased under the nuclear deal has also angered some key council members.
Before the council meeting, eight European Union nations underlined their commitment to the Iran nuclear deal while urging Tehran to stop its "destabilizing regional activities" especially the launch of ballistic missiles.
Ambassadors of the eight nations — Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Poland, Sweden and the United Kingdom — said "it has been confirmed that Iran continues to implement its nuclear related commitments."
But they warned that "ballistic missile related activities such as the launch of nuclear capable missiles and any transfers of missiles, missile technologies and components ... would be in violation of Security Council resolutions." | weapons_science |

Kept under wrap until the 2021 edition of IDEF, the Caka RCWS was purposely developed to be installed on the ZAHA (Zırhlı Amfibi Hucum Aracı), the new Armoured Amphibious Vehicle designed by FNSS based on Turkish Navy Marines requirements. Designed to host the same weapons to be installed on the Sancak, a 12.7 mm machine gun or a 40 mm automatic grenade launcher (AGL), its architecture is pretty different as the optronic package is here installed under the weapon, and is therefore linked to it, the elevation arc being –7°/+45°.

- The boresight does not have an on-off switch, and battery drain is high. This means that users have to insert and remove the small batteries each time they want to turn the device on or off, which can be inconvenient, especially in outdoor shooting ranges where small pieces can easily be lost.
- The fabric case that comes with the boresight does not securely hold the batteries, increasing the risk of losing them. A snap-open plastic case would be a more secure and practical storage solution.

Galatta | Jul 21, 2020, 05:39 pm
India had been floating the idea of inducting additional fighter jets into the Indian Air Force, since 2001! However, it was only since 2007 that the idea took shape and the process began. Most of India's IAF fleet consists of heavy and light-weight combat aircraft, so the idea was to bring in intermediate, medium-weight fighter jets! Proposals for the same were invited and the plan kicked off. The IAF's interest to include Medium Multi-Role Combat Aircraft (MMRCA) was met with very high enthusiasm and many manufacturers expressed their interest in becoming suppliers! After a lot of scrutiny over the aircraft and the bids, the Rafale manufactured by Dassault, was chosen over the Lockheed Martin's F-16 (used by the Pakistan Air Force), Eurofighter's Typhoon, Russia's MiG-35 and Sweden's Saab Gripen!
After the deal with Dassault was signed for 36 Rafale Fighter Jets, the first was handed over to the Defense Minister Rajnath Singh in 2019 and flew a sortie in it, from a French airbase in Paris. India's deal with the French Government is for procuring 36 Rafale Fighter jets in flyaway condition and the first batch of this deal, having 5 aircraft, would be arriving in India on July 29th! Subject to weather conditions, the 5 jets would be inducted to the IAF at the Air Force Station in Ambala, on July 29th itself! A statement from the IAF states that the final induction ceremony of the Rafale jets would happen in the second half of August.
Latest reports suggest that these high-end MMRCA Rafale jets would be deployed in the Ladakh Sector on the Eastern Border, with China in view as there have been recent skirmishes between the armed forces of India and China, along the Line of Actual Control (LAC), in this region! This aircraft manufactured by the French company Dassault Aviation, is expected to increase India's air supremacy and domination in this region and bolster the already formidable fleet of the IAF! Earlier, after India conducted the surgical air strikes in the Balakot region of Pakistan, against terrorists, the Prime Minister Narendra Modi mentioned that "having Rafale fighters would have delivered better results!" These surgical strikes were carried out to perfection, using a dozen of IAF's Mirage-2000 aircraft, which is also being manufactured by Dassault! A total of 36 Rafale jets, making up 2 squadrons, would become part of the IAF, over the course of the next two years! | weapons_science |

The race of the first combat-ready exoskeletons just got a bit more crowded. Whilst we expect such developments from developed countries and the big three (U.S., Russia, and China), sometimes we get surprised by developments from where we least expect it. In this case, from the country of Ghana a middle income country in Africa, also a football powerhouse in the continent.
According to Graphic Online, during the 38th annual Technology Exhibition of the Kantanka Group in Accra last 6 January, the group paraded what looks like to be the largest and perhaps the tallest armoured vehicle in the world and is equipped with a laser rangefinder. But what is more interesting is a trio of troopers that are wearing what look like to be Iron Man suits.
These suits, or more known as exoskeletons, are designed to augment the capabilities of their wearers, allowing them to carry heavier loads and go to longer distances without causing any injury and protect the body. The Kantanka Group “Exoskeletons” show more heavily armoured men as compared to the exoskeleton projects in other countries such as the U.S. wherein the exoskeletons are more contraptions to augment rather than act as armour for the soldiers.
The soldiers in the video from Trends GH can sure walk with the load but they are not as agile as expected for soldiers to go into combat. They raise further questions about the armour qualities and armament as we see rifles slung to their backs. They also have helmets though they may not have HUDs (Heads Up Displays) much less have Jarvis as their personal digital assistant. Apart from the parade, there is not much information about these exoskeletons.
t’ll be interesting to know about their capabilities and if they are as formidable as they look, they can be game changers in the battlefield. But for now, Tony Stark can rest easy.
The armoured vehicle in the background is just massive, like a land battleship. It is cavernous inside that it might be able to squeeze in a platoon of fully armed soldiers. It is fully airconditioned though it does not have a turret so a gunner can safely fire from the inside.
It’s profile may not make it tactically viable when military vehicle designers always opt to go for a lower profile look. It might just be a magnet for RPGs and anti-tank weapons as it can be easily spotted from afar.
Nevertheless, it is interesting to see efforts of countries such as Ghana to develop their own local military industries. Their designs may not meet NATO requirements but they may just be more than enough for their local requirements, which is usually going against insurgents, terrorists, and coup plotters. | weapons_science |

I have C++ class of my character and also I have a blueprint generated class of weapon. How can I attach the weapon? I still can't figure out, how can I create components of blueprint generated classes.
asked Aug 09 '14 at 11:10 PM in C++ Programming
I recommad you to create (atleast dummy) base class for weapon with functions and varables that your weapon needs, it will be easier for you to operate blueprint made weapons based of that class in C++ this way.
In that weapon base class, you could have varable:
And in defaults of weapon based class you will see mesh selector, you set mesh of a weapon, whih later you can read and apply to component in character
Here is how I attach my weapon to the FPS Mesh in my project. I created a socket on the bone of the mesh and then spawn the Weapon Actor and then attach it. Like this. (See Link here for better view.)
Hope it helps. WCode

THE CHINESE REPEATING CROSSBOW
HERE we have surely the most curious of all the weapons I
Though the antiquity of the repeating crossbow is so great that the date of its introduction is beyond conjecture, it is to this day carried by Chinese soldiers in the more remote districts of their empire.
In the recent war between China and Japan, 1894-95, the repeating crossbow was frequently seen among troops who came from the interior of the first-named country.
The interesting and unique feature of this crossbow is its repeating action, which though so crudely simple acts perfectly and enables the crossbowman to discharge ten arrows in fifteen seconds.
When bows, and crossbows which shot one bolt at a time, were the usual missive weapons of the Chinese, it is probable that the repeating crossbow was very effective for stopping the rush of an enemy in the open, or for defending fortified positions.
For example, one hundred men with repeating crossbows could send a thousand arrows into their opponents' ranks in a quarter of a minute.
On the other hand, one hundred men with bows, or with ordinary crossbows that shot only one arrow at a discharge, would not be able to loose more than about two hundred arrows in fifteen seconds.
The effect of a continuous stream of a thousand arrows flying into a crowd of assailants-in so short a space as fifteen seconds-would, of course, be infinitely greater than that of only two hundred in the same time, especially as the arrows of barbaric nations were often smeared with poison.
The small and light arrow of the comparatively weak Chinese crossbow here described had little penetrative power. For this reason the head of the arrow was sometimes dipped in poison, in order that a slight wound might prove fatal.
The impetus of the heavy bolt of the mediaeval European crossbow which had a thick steel bow, was sufficient to destroy life without the aid of such a cruel accessory as poison.
THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE CHINESE REPEATING CROSSBOW, Figs. 171, 172
|A, A.||The magazine in which the ten or twelve small arrows are laid (one on the other) when the weapon is made ready for use.|
|B, B.||The stock in which the bamboo bow is fixed.|
|C.||The lever that works the crossbow. The lever is hinged to the stock of the crossbow and its magazine by metal pins, fig. 174.|
|E.||The piece of wood along the upper surface of which a groove is cut. for an arrow to rest in, and that also has a notch in it to hold the bowstring.|
This piece is attached to the magazine and forms the lower part of it.
HOW TO WORK THE CROSSBOW, FIG. 174
By pushing forward the magazine by means of the lever, the
bow-string is automatically caught in the notch above the trigger, A, fig. 174.
At the moment when the bow-string is thus secured, an arrow falls from the magazine into the groove cut out in front of the notch. An arrow cannot drop from the magazine into the groove till the bow-string is in the notch, fig. 175.
The trigger consists of a little piece of hard wood. When the lever is fully pulled back the trigger pushes the stretched bow-string upwards out of the notch that holds it, B, fig. 174. The trigger works in an upright slot. It has its upper end enlarged to prevent it from dropping out of the slot in which it moves up or down, fig. 173,
FIG. 174 -THE ACTION OF THE TRIGGER OF THE CHINESE REPEATING CROSSBOW.
A. The magazine, full of arrows, pushed forward by the lever. The bow-string is caught in the notch above the trigger.
B. The crossbow just before it is discharged. The trigger, as its lowest extremity is pressed against the surface of the stock by the action of the lever lifts the bow-string out of the notch.
B, fig. 174. The lever is here pulled back, with the result
that the bow is bent and the bow-string stretched. By pulling back the lever a
little farther than shown in this sketch, the projecting end of the trigger will
be pressed against the surface of the stock of the crossbow. This causes the
upper end of the trigger to lift the bow-string out of the notch and set it
free. The arrow is then discharged and the crossbow returns to the position
shown in fig. 171, and is ready for the next shot.
From this description, it will be understood how simple and rapid is the action of the crossbow. All that need be done to shoot off the arrows contained in its magazine, is to work the lever to and fro as slowly or as quickly as desired.
It is even possible to discharge a dozen arrows in fifteen seconds.
By a slight alteration in the construction of the crossbow it
was sometimes made to shoot two arrows, instead of one, every time its bow
In such a case, the magazine and stock were about ¾ in. wider than in the weapon just described. The magazine had a thin partition down its centre which divided it into two compartments. On each side of the central partition a dozen arrows were laid, one over the other. The bow-string passed over two parallel grooves instead of over a single one, each groove being, of course, exactly beneath a compartment in the magazine. As the lever was worked, two arrows dropped from the magazine and remained side-by-side, one in each groove, both arrows being propelled together when the bow-string was released.
By means of this arrangement one hundred men could discharge two thousand arrows in fifteen seconds, or double the number which one hundred men could shoot off in the same time with the ordinary repeating crossbow.
The effective range of these Chinese weapons was about 80
yards; their extreme range from 180 to 200 yards. The bamboo arrows,
though short and light, were well made and had steel heads that were heavy in
proportion to the length of their shafts. They had no feathers, so that their
freedom of movement might not be impeded as they dropped one by one from the
magazine when the crossbow was being used.
For the same reason, the width of the magazine-inside-was slightly in excess of the diameter of the arrow.
The length of the arrow was from 12 in. to 16 in., according to the size of the crossbow; its diameter 5/16 in. to 3/8 in.
The bow was made either of one stout piece of male bamboo, about 3 ft. 6 in. long, or of several flat strips lashed together.
In the latter case, the bow-string passed through a hole in each end of the bow, fig. 174. The bow-string consisted of animal sinew twisted into a cord of suitable strength.
FIG. 175.-THE MAGAZINE OF THE CHINESE REPEATING CROSSBOW WITH ITS SIDESREMOVED.
It will be seen that an arrow cannot drop down from the magazine into the groove along whichthe bow-string travels till the latter is in the notch above the trigger, as shown in A, fig. 174.

This paper contributes a novel way to theorise the power of narratives of nuclear weapons politics through Kenneth Burke's concept of entelechy: the means of stating a things essence through narrating its beginning or end. The paper argues that the Manhattan Project functions narratively in nuclear discourse as an origin myth, so that the repeated telling of atomic creation over time frames the possibilities of nuclear politics today. By linking Burke's work on entelechy with literature on narrative and eschatology, the paper develops a theoretical grounding for understanding the interconnection of the nuclear past, present, and future. The paper supports its argument by conducting a wide-ranging survey of academic and popular accounts of the development of the atomic weapon in the US Manhattan Project. It reveals a dominant narrative across these accounts that contains three core tropes: the nuclear weapon as the inevitable and perfected culmination of humankind's tendency towards violence; the Manhattan Project as a race against time; and the nuclear weapon as a product of a fetishized masculine brilliance. | weapons_science |
