Aircraft Carrier and its chequered career By Ilya Kramnik Moscow. The last Soviet Project 1143 cruiser carrier, named Baku, joined the navy in 1987, shortly before the breakup of the Soviet Union and the closing of its vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) programme. But when Yak-38 VTOL planes were decommissioned, the early Project 1143 ships were also quickly phased out of the navy. The Baku, by that time renamed Admiral Gorshkov, was looked to carry on as a helicopter carrier, but cuts in military spending and an accident on board put it in for repairs that were never completed. In 1994, it was rumoured that the ship might be sold to India. In 2000, the two countries came to an agreement, but the terms of the contract were not agreed and the document was not signed until 2004. The hope was that by 2008 India would get an upgraded vessel and an air wing of MiG-29K fighters for a price of The aircraft carrier was then named Vikramaditya by the Indian Under a modernisation plan, the 48,000-tonne air-capable cruiser was to be fitted with an unobstructed flight deck, aircraft lifts capable of handling MiG-29s, an upgraded air-defence system, and new electronics. Also, the Vikramaditya was to be stripped of its Bazalt missile system and deck-mounted 100mm Gatling guns. The refitting work started in 2000, but by 2007 it had become clear that deadlines could not be kept - the Russian side pleaded wrong costing and pricing. The blame was put on Vladimir Pastukhov, Sevmash General Director. He was fired, everybody said, for failing to fulfil the Indian order. The commissioning deadline had to be moved to 2011. The situation was compounded by further scandals when India refused to accept a modernised Project 877 Kilo class submarine and an Il-38 aircraft for alleged shortcomings in their upgradation programme. All this also threatened to damage relations between the two countries in military-technical cooperation. Rumours spread that the Gorshkov might be returned to the Russian navy, but official sources said new prices and new schedules were under consideration. The results were never made public, but, according to reliable sources, the two sides agreed to move the delivery deadline to 2010 and increase the costs, keeping in mind also a weak dollar and steep prices. Apart from unofficial sources, news that deck-based MiG-29Ks will be delivered to India next year is a good indicator that the contract is alive. At the end of July 2008, reports appeared in the media the first batch of 12 single-seat fighters and four two-seat trainers will be shipped in 2009. Indian sources also say India intends to increase the number of MiGs it will buy. An option for 30 planes is provided for in the contract, and a decision to exercise the option could be taken in 2008. In that case, the overall quantity could grow to 46-50 units, enough not only for the Vikramaditya, but also for the India's indigenous carrier, expected to be operational by 2015. It must be said that delays in the carrier's commissioning have been largely due to the state of Russian industry in the late 1990s and early 2000s. Inadequate production facilities, wear and tear of capital assets, and the loss of many skilled workers to other industries and countries, combined with a lack of experience, led Sevmash to wrongly calculate the project's costs and timetable. To fulfil the project, Sevmash has recruited workers and engineers from across Russia and abandoned several other projects, including a floating nuclear plant, which is expected to be shifted to the Baltic yards in St Petersburg. The Gorshkov project is seen by many as a test of Sevmash's ability to build aircraft carriers, and its success will be of key importance in deciding whether the shipyard will be chosen to build advanced carriers As for the Vikramaditya, according to information available here, the main hull work is already done, with new equipment being installed and interior re-planning under way. It is to be hoped that the new schedule will be observed and the former Admiral Gorshkov will put to sea again, though under the Indian flag. Here it is worth considering the ship's capabilities in the light of its known characteristics: Its displacement remains the same, or 38,000 tonnes light, 48,000 tonnes standard, and 53,000 tonnes full. The flight deck is 273 metres long. The carrier will have a complement of 16 MiG-29 fighters and six Ka-28/Ka-31 helicopters. Plans also exist to use HAL Tejas Light Combat Aircraft (LCA) and Dhruv light helicopters (naval versions). Apart from the aircraft, the ship will carry Kashtan sea-to-air missile and a gun systems for self-defence. A "ski jump" ramp is provided for take-off as required by the Indian Navy. Like any other carrier, the Vikramaditya will be used within a task group of surface ships. The best candidates for such groups are Russian-built Project 22356 frigates and upgraded Project 61 vessels supplied by the Soviet Union. With plans to install BrahMos missiles on its surface ships, India could form an effective and compact task force consisting of the aircraft carrier and three to six frigates with a variety of strike, anti-submarine and air-defence weapons. The carrier will provide long-range anti-aircraft protection. Backed by the other ships' sea-to-air missiles, MiG-29Ks could make life difficult even for any formidable navy deck wing, not to mention lesser opponents. The group's main mission could be achieved with missiles fired from the surface ships - three to six frigates are capable of launching several dozen supersonic anti-ship missiles hard to intercept by any air-defence In the longer term, the Vikramaditya could accommodate fifth-generation planes, which the two countries plan to produce and induct by 2017, in its hangar. With such aircraft on board, the new carrier could remain in service well into the 2050s. (The author is RIA Novosti's military commentator.

There are some features that are looked for when purchasing a bow. Before ordering for a bow, the users are supposed to have in mind a good number of the factors . For the bows to fit the fit the requirements of the buyers, the bows are availed in several shapes and sizes. the bow is supposed to be simple to operate. A case of good bow Is one that subjects the user to minimize or lesser shock. The bow should be light in weight therefore simple to work with. For one to carry the best bow, there are specs that must be present in the bow. The bow is a critical section of the shooting system that must be considered.[To be able to improve the shooting system and experience of the shooters; it is important to consider the type of the bow that is selected. The bow ought to be strong. The state of being able to balance the bow with the hands is very crucial. The the weight of the bow in most cases usually determines the amount of the vibration that is produced by the bow. The amount of the sound energy that is given out by the bow during the shooting time lowered if a stabilizer is fixed or installed on the bow. Similarly, the speed of the bow when shooting should be selected and considered. For a hunter, the bow with most efficient speed should be selected. The higher the speed of your bow the harder it becomes for the prey to escape or run away. Have in mind the draw length of the bow.

Under the leadership of President Emmanuel Macron, France has pitched for starting the negotiation with India over the procurement of another 36 Rafale fighters. The French president described this as a key aspect of the bilateral defense cooperation between both countries. According to the sources, the French Government had communicated with the Indian counterpart and pitched for the negotiation over the Rafale fighter jets. The news agency, Press Trust of India said in a report the French Government has indicated that they are interested in the procurement of another 36 Rafael fighter Jets by the Indian Air Force. According to one top official, the French Defence Minister Florence Parly and Indian counterpart Nirmala Sitharaman had been discussing the procurement of another batch of 36 fighter jets by the Indian Air Force. According to the report by The Press Trust of India, the French Defence Minister said in the meeting that the current deal will be extended and it will help both countries and boost the Defence cooperation. However, the Indian side has not made any official announcement regarding the issue. According to one official, Florence Parly and Nirmala Sitharaman will discuss the deal for the procurement of 36 Rafael fighter jets by India. He said that in the meeting, the issue of procurement of fighter jets and submarines for Indian Navy will also be discussed. Another official said that Florence Parly will visit Nagpur on 27 October and the foundation stone for a new faculty set up by Reliance Defence and Dassault as a part of Rafael deal will be laid by her. India and France had made a deal of more than 7 billion euros in September last year for the delivery of 36 Rafael fighter jets for the Indian Air Force. These jets are scheduled to be delivered from 2019 to 2022. According to the deal, Dassault and its partners in India will execute the 50% offset clause which will lead up to Thirty thousand crores. A joint venture was soon announced by the Reliance Defence and Dassault Aviation which was named as Dassault Reliance Aerospace and it will execute the major part of the offsets. The two sides have also been trying to co-develop and remake India’s indigenous Jet Fighter Engine, Kaveri which was to be developed by the Defence Research and Development Organization (DRDO). DRDO was unable to achieve the set objectives for the Fighter Jet. The Kaveri engine was being designed to power indigenous Light Combat Aircraft Tejas which have been relying on United States’s General Electric GE-404 engines. According to a joint statement by both parties, it said that the leaders discussed the SAFRAN and DRDO and they have been encouraging some early measures and positive approach for an early conclusion. The procurement of the Rafael fighter Jets by the Indian Government for the Indian Air Force has been one of the most controversial defence deals since Independence. In a statement by Congress, India has lost more than twelve thousand crores on the Rafael deal as the Central Government has to pay three hundred crores more for each fighter Jet. These claims have been made on the basis of the payment by Egypt and Qatar whoa are purchasing Jets from Dassault at a lower price. Defence Minister Nirmala Sitharaman said that these claims had no basis and Rafael deal should not be compared with Bofors scam.

BB firearm security is critical. You have likely been told more than once that BB firearms are not toys. But, numerous individuals despite everything treat them all things considered. Has nobody seen the disastrous scene in the film “A Christmas Story” when Ralphie neglects to regard the notice of “You’ll shoot your eye out?” Does nobody recollect that he did, to be sure, for all intents and purposes shoot his eye out with his Official Red Ryder Carbine-Action Two-Hundred-Shot Range Model Air Rifle? Obviously, in the event that he had adhered to essential BB firearm wellbeing rules, he would have been fine. Had he been wearing defensive eyewear, rather than simply his glasses, he would have been greatly improved off. Had he not took shots at a surface with such potential for ricochet… all things considered, you get the point. At any rate, motion pictures aside, BB firearm security genuinely is critical. Numerous individuals don’t understand that it is so natural to harm somebody (or even conceivably execute somebody) with a BB weapon. A similar firearm wellbeing rules must be followed when utilizing BB weapons as when utilizing some other kind of firearm. This is particularly significant in the event that you are preparing your youngster on a BB weapon before you permit the individual in question to fire a genuine firearm. Ensure they learn BB firearm wellbeing, and accordingly fundamental weapon security, directly off the bat. Here are the absolute most significant BB firearm wellbeing rules: · Treat all weapons like they are stacked. Never accept that a firearm isn’t stacked. · Never point your BB weapon at anybody. It doesn’t make a difference on the off chance that it isn’t stacked! · Check out both nearby and government laws and guidelines. Various states have diverse BB weapon security laws and rules. Certain weapons are not permitted in specific spots. · Do not fire at an objective except if you know everything encompassing the objective. Try not to shoot if there is a potential that somebody is behind or on the sides of the objective… you may miss! · Keep your finger off of the trigger until you are prepared to fire. · As expressed above, in the “A Christmas Story” episode, consistently where defensive eyewear. Additionally wear a defensive veil. · Realize that BBs can ricochet. Know about the sort of surface you are taking shots at. BBs ricochet all the more effectively off of specific surfaces. Level surfaces, hard surfaces, and the water all surfaces that BBs may ricochet off of. Likewise ensure that the objective isn’t at an edge. · Start out taking shots at a shooting range. It is a decent and a lot more secure spot to figure out how to shoot. · Do not permit minors (people under 18 years old) to fire any kind of weapon (not so much as a BB firearm) with out dynamic grown-up oversight. · Now that BB weapons are made to look increasingly sensible, a few people can confuse them with genuine firearms. This makes them conceivably perilous! In the event that somebody (counting and particularly a police officer) thinks you have a genuine firearm, the person in question may act contrastingly around you. You could be placing yourself as well as other people in harm’s way. Try not to convey your BB firearm in an open spot. Doing so may really be unlawful in your state. · Do not adjust the shade of your BB weapon. On the off chance that it has a fluorescent orange tip, that is which is as it should be! Police officer have been known to shoot and discharge upon kids who have evacuated the security orange shading structure their weapons, on the grounds that the police officers could no longer perceive the firearms as anything besides genuine weapons. · It isn’t suggested that kids younger than 16 are permitted to work a high speed BB weapon. Investigate the speed kind of your BB firearm or air rifle before utilizing. The admonition will probably say, “May be hazardous up to 350 yards,” just as different alerts. Make certain to follow all admonitions. · Always check to ensure the firearm isn’t stacked. Point the firearm away from individuals and creatures and crush the trigger (once more, abstain from pointing it at things that it may ricochet off of. · Do not convey a stacked BB firearm when moving over wall or up trees or in any event, when bouncing. Doing so could make the weapon go off. · Keep care of your firearm. A harmed or grimy weapon is bound to cause injury. · One principle of BB weapon security that is time after time disregarded is that you ought to consistently utilize new ammunition in your BB firearm. It doesn’t make a difference in the event that it is costly. Not doing so is hazardous and can debase your firearm all the more rapidly. Make certain to adhere to these standards of BB weapon wellbeing. Likewise, instruct BB weapon wellbeing to anybody that you see who isn’t appropriately keeping these significant standards!

Soumis par Marc Angles le mar, 12/04/2012 - 14:01 Mordechai Vanunu brought his camera to work in late 1985, shortly before leaving his eight-year stint as a technician at Israel's nuclear weapons factory at Dimona. Acting on his conscience, he carefully took about 60 photos of the top-secret labs and unique production processes involved. When some of these photos were originally published in the London Sunday Times' exposé, they confirmed his eyewitness testimony about the extent of Israel's nuclear weapons program and revealed Israel to be one of the world's top nuclear powers. To this day, the Israeli government refuses international inspection of Dimona and continues to deny the existence of its nuclear arsenal.

In this paper, some of the important defeating mechanisms of the high hardness perforated plates against 7.62 x 54 armor piercing ammunition were investigated. The experimental and numerical results identified three defeating mechanisms effective on perforated armor plates which are the asymmetric forces deviates the bullet from its incident trajectory, the bullet core fracture and the bullet core nose erosion. The initial tests were performed on the monolithic armor plates of 9 and 20 mm thickness to verify the fidelity of the simulation and material model parameters. The stochastic nature of the ballistic tests on perforated armor plates was analyzed based on the bullet impact zone with respect to holes. Various scenarios including without and with bullet failure models were further investigated to determine the mechanisms of the bullet failure. The agreement between numerical and experimental results had significantly increased with including the bullet failure criterion and the bullet nose erosion threshold into the simulation. As shown in results, good agreement between Ls-Dyna simulations and experimental data was achieved and the defeating mechanism of perforated plates was clearly demonstrated. (C) 2014 Elsevier Ltd.

One of the first warjacks developed by the Protectorate after the Cygnaran Civil War was the Crusader, a massive warjack boasting heavy armor and capable of crushing attacks. It has served as the foundation for several masterpieces of war. The Templar, for one, smashes enemies with overwhelming force from an unassailable position behind its thick shield. Of more recent production, the Vanquisher wields a great “blazing star” spiked ball in one hand and a flame belcher in the other. This weapon sends an oil-filled cannonball that bursts and ignites on impact. This box set contains three color stat cards and one multi-part heavy warjack plastic model (PIP 32061). Included are all the components to assemble one of three heavy warjack variants: Crusader, Templar, or Vanquisher. A player may field any number of heavy warjacks in a Protectorate army.

Advanced Weapons Research Center Site 4 Papoose Dry Lake, Nevada Nuclear Missile Silos By using the command center, you can activate either of the two missile silos, launching rockets into the air that will target nearby opponents. To do this, drive through the command center, you should hear an audio cue to indicate that the silo has been activated. You'll now have a short period of time to drive into the silo trench and under the traffic lights - when the turn green, the rocket launches into the air, before coming crashing down on you enemy! If it doesn't work straight away, you'll probably have just enough time to be able to reverse and drive under the lights again. Failing that, about turn, head back through the command center and try the silo on the other side. Destroying the command center will render the silos useless. The radar dishes rotate in regular intervals - if you notice an incoming mortar or missile, hide under the dishes and the projectiles will lose their lock on you. These turrets guard the entrance to the control center and will track and fire on anyone remotely near the perimeter. As long as the gates have been taken out, you should be able to xip through unscathed, although heavier vehicles may have a harder time of it. The turrets can also be destroyed with a few hits, but don't bank in a shield as adequate protection, since the beams can strip your vehicle of powerups! When you shoot the supports of a stealth bomber, they taxi along to the end of the runway, turn 180 degress then accelerate and take off. As with the planes in the Aircraft Graveyard level, they do a fair bit of damage and will knock you for six should you get in front of them. In addition, the exhausts can set you on fire if you get too close. One tactic is to use them as cover - by positioning yourself between the exhaust, you can drive almost into the bombers. Stay there and it's virtually impossible for other vehicles to hit you, just bear in mind that when the bomber reaches the end of the runway it'll turn round and probably roast you! A sneak preview of 'Y the Aliens' saucer is hidden in this hangar. It doesn't do much, but if you're careful, you can get it into the open and knock it around the arena into other cars. For added destruction, push it into the path of an oncoming steath bomber! TO NOTE - the Luxosaucer is missing from the Dreamcast version. Weapons & Powerup Spawn Points Another small level, the best guarantee of powerups is the circle of barracks and around the hangars. Try the hillside near the barracks for some out-of-the way powerups as well.

A powerful water gun is a great way to spray an enemy or a crowd. Most of them use a trigger mechanism that allows water to be released into a stream. The trigger mechanism is a lever attached to the gun housing. The trigger itself is a rigid piece that pinches the plastic tube leading to the barrel. When you pull back the trigger, the lever bends and releases the plastic tube, causing pressurized air to expel water from the gun. The higher the pressure, the more powerful the water blast. High-powered Water Gun A high-pressure water gun can be dangerous for many people. The outward force of the blast can cause a leak in the gun. A high-pressure water gun is made with a trigger mechanism that allows some water to escape, reducing the risk of a mishap. The springiness of the metal holding the trigger determines the amount of leakage, and it can even cause injuries. If the gun leaks, you can avoid this by taking it off the table and using the safety strap. The water-shooting capability of a high-powered water gun depends on the type and size of the tank. Single shot water guns aren’t very effective against moving targets. And pumps that have to be filled take time to fire. Moreover, water guns must be stored properly and away from children. However, a high-powered water gun with adjustable nozzles is not as dangerous as one might imagine. It is also not advisable to use a water gun in the middle of a street fight, because the bullet might hit you.

North Korea successfully launched a rocket this Wednesday (12/12). Several countries condemned the test. Earlier this year (April), the country tried to launch another rocket but due to a technical failure, the test was a disaster. At the time, the UN addressed the issue and spoke against it, asking North Korea to not try to launch another rocket. Now, it seems that North Korea finally achieved what it had been up to. North Korea has been asking for the nuclear force status, which has been denied (actually, this launch violates two resolutions regarding nuclear matters). Although the country claims that these tests are not intended to be for nuclear or ballistic purposes, the fact is that this launch brought major concerns for various countries, mostly Asiatic ones: Japan said it was intolerable, South Korea said it was a provocation and Russia condemned the act. So, is this launch such a big thing as several countries think? It can be. The country is known for not having the best of relations with other states (and now proved that can reach them with a missile). But this doesn’t mean that North Korea is going to attack them. I think that they are trying to say something like “hey, I have nuclear stuff, now you can’t touch me”. In conclusion, it is a provocation. Who has the better horse wins the race.

The armor would have to withstand laser fire for minutes to hours on end. In an all-guns monoculture, we end up with the largest possible battleships equipped with the largest number of the biggest guns possible. Since we do not want a ‘weapons monoculture’, that is, a setting where a single weapons system dominates all others, we will try to make lasers and missiles equally useful. These aircraft carryAIM-9 Sidewinder short-range air-to-air missiles and free-fall bombs. These ageing aircraft have only a limited anti-shipping and ground attack capability and can not match modern air superiority fighters and ground attack aircraft. It was originally commissioned with the French Navy in 1963 as the Foch. - She could make 172 mph (277km/h) with her single, front-mounted engine. - 23 nuclear naval shells with an estimated yield of 15 to 20 kilotons. - The rig is designed by Detlev Loll Ingenieurburo GmbH (Peenemunde-based company) and comprised of 3x free-standing masts. - Apply a balance between armor and mobility, since cruisers are designed to be able to destroy smaller ships easily through armor and toughness and larger battleship through speed and maneuverability. - Deck mounted airfoils have proven effective as vessel wind power propulsion technology capable of converting wind energy from crosswinds and diagonally approaching headwinds. - Especially with, as noted before, the advancements made in automation and automated loading. Thereafter the team was informally called “The North Star Group”. After Germany’s defeat, the ex-North Star was joined in 1945 by USS Seattle (IX-39), a woefully obsolete former cruiser, and the AVC-1, a discarded seaplane catapult barge. The second major call-up came in September 1940, with President Roosevelt’s “Destroyers For Bases” treaty. There was severe rust, especially in areas where rainwater had been allowed to stand. The undersides of the hulls had severe barnacle growth, some so much that the destroyer’s top speed fell by 2 or 3 knots. The wiring (largely still fabric-insulated) was often shorted out and some needed to be completely re-wired. Shape, Mission And Power Plant Drives The Creation Of Modern Submarines The vessel of choice for these pirates in the early days was the galley, whose oars allowed them to overtake merchant vessels caught in light wind. But as time wore on, the trading nations responded to the threat by deploying warships to tackle the corsair problem. Galleys were swift and carried many men, but were not designed to stand up to the broadsides of modern warships. The process of making aluminum was extraordinarily expensive until the early 1900s, so much so that it was considered a precious metal. The SSGN is a variant of the Ohio class SSBN, modified to carry Tomahawk missiles instead of nuclear warhead-tipped ballistic missiles, and also modified to carry two platoons of Navy SEALs and their equipment. The oldest and most familiar, made famous by Tom Clancy in The Hunt for Red October, is the Los Angeles class, which still makes up the bulk of our fast attack fleet. She was originally scheduled for decommissioning in 2014 or 2015, depending on the life of her reactors and completion of her replacement, USS Gerald R. Ford. But the National Defence Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2010 slated the ship’s retirement for 2013, when she will have served for 51 consecutive years, longer than any other U.S. aircraft carrier. Enterprise was meant to be the first of a class of six, but construction costs ballooned and the remaining vessels were never laid down. Analysis : Importance Of Naval Guns On A Modern Warship Traditionally an aircraft carrier is supposed to be one ship that can perform at least power projection and sea control missions. Oceanbird is designed to exceed these targets — Wallenius https://apkplay.mobi says the ship will emit 90% less CO2 than conventional car carriers. It won’t be completely emission-free, however, because it will still rely on engines for manoeuvring in and out of ports and for emergencies.

My finished tack driver project By loudcherokee in forum General. I have the stainless, so I’m looking to do better than that, if that’s possible without spending big bucks. It would appear that adding the brake actually increases the sound level forward of the muzzle, but behind the gun the report was reduced to a level where I would feel comfortable not using ear plugs. Byers offers an ultralight aluminum barrel with a heavy contour and a rifled steel liner that weighs 12 to 14 ounces and can be had in 17 HMR in addition to 22 long rifle. None of the horror stories of I’ve heard in the past. Those two mods will give you a lot of Bang for your Buck!

Build Review: Custom 10/22 Long Range Tack Driver – The ones sanded down a lot don’t have any adaptability. I didn’t think the outside was any big deal. I haven’t done this recently but I would shoot the tacks at the range with my Glock 35 at tacckdriver all the time. Can you give a example of this? Customizing the Ruger 10/22 Leave a Reply Cancel reply Your email address will not be published. Or just glass bed the rifle. I choose the Look for sales at Midway for internal parts too. The only part of their body touching the rifle is the tip of their trigger finger. I have never felt a better trigger on any other real rifle. I’ll spend a little money on 10/222. I don’t know, talk to me. The best trigger besides this was on a stoco air rifle and nothing compares to air rifle triggers. That makes it hard to justify a longer tackdriverr, which adds weight and reduces maneuverability. The bolt is available separately, but currently the receiver is only available as a complete rifle. It is crisp but not so light that it creates worries in the field. Now that is an awesome-shooting rifle. Find all posts by mdjeterva. This alleviates the need for a tax stamp for a short barreled rifle and gives a secondary benefit of making the rifle quieter. Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy. For the ultimate ease of improving the factory trigger, Ruger now offers a drop-in trigger pack that is adjustable in stoc, 3 to 5 pound range. Check out this section of their forums: That stability equals accuracy down range. I use a Weaver T, which is a great scope for the bucks. It sure has a lot of lines. The MLR Receiver is a top-end precision billet receiver. Thanks for the info. Build Review: Custom 10/22 Long Range Tack Driver November 8th, It’s definitely not a tack driver but with my cheap Walmart scope I can hit clays at yards just about every time. On this build I did not see a zero shift with or without the CQB brake installed. Maybe you already have your “match setup” and want to ditch some old stuff. The barrel is probably the easiest component to replace after the stock. The time required for this depends on the type of finish that you desire and really depends upon your abilities.

After Action Report – 1st Bn / 3rd Bde – Training 12 August 2017 After Action Report – 12Aug17 Missouri Militia 1st Battalion/ 3rd Brigade Rifleman Qualification Part 1 From: SFC Tade Subject: After Action Report Deployed Location: Area 51 Training Area, 4932 Old Hwy 40, Odessa, MO 64076 CO: Colonel R. Sumpter Duration: 12 Aug 17 0730-1630 Purpose: To train and qualify the troops in the first step towards earning their Rifleman tab. There were 18 unit members in attendance. The day began with First Formation and training in Drill and Ceremony. The troops marched in column and practiced facing maneuvers. After muster, Colonel Sumpter addressed the troops and gave the intelligence briefing. Among the topics was the “Black Sky” exercise that will be conducted on the 28th of August. This event will simulate an attack that knocks out the power grid in a large portion of the country. There will be multiple state and federal agencies involved. The Colonel recommended that this would be a good opportunity to review our personal preparedness for such an event. A solid preparedness plan for our families gives us the peace of mind and the confidence that they are taken care of when we deploy with the Militia to aid others in such an event. CPT Felix reviewed the Commander’s Intent and described the training and activities for the day. The CPT then conducted a uniform inspection. He asked the troops to produce their everyday carry items. The recommended EDC items are: an analog or combination analog/digital watch, a knife, pen or pencil (x2), a Pad of Paper (“Rite in The Rain” preferred), a length of cordage (50’ of 550 Paracord), a way to make fire (3 ways are preferred) and a multi-tool. The CPT, accompanied by the SFC, then conducted a uniform inspection of the troops. The troops were generally squared away, with only minor items noted. One such item was name tapes on the back of the Garrison Cap missing or incorrectly placed. The name tape should be centered in the back and just above the rim of the cap. The CPT also advised the troops that they should have three sets of BDUs, one for public events such as working at the Gun Show and two for use in the field. After the inspection, the troops moved out to the range. A 25 meter firing line was set-up with 6 firing positions. The troops received instruction on the seven fundamentals of good marksmanship. They are: Grip – The grip on the rifle should be firm and as high up on the pistol grip as possible. This brings the trigger finger into proper alignment with the trigger. In this position the trigger can be squeezed straight back. This grip also helps isolate the other muscles of the hand so that only the trigger finger moves. Body Position or Stance – a good stance allows the rifle to naturally point at the target. In the standing (Off-Hand) position the rifle has two points of contact, the stock in the shoulder and the hands on the grip and forearm. In the kneeling position, the rifle has three points of contact, the stock, the hands and the support hand elbow on the support side knee. It is important to use the support side knee as opposed to the weapon side knee as the former provides better stability. Breathing – the shot should be taken on the natural pause in your breathing. Sight Alignment – the proper sight alignment is with the front sight post in the middle of the rear sight aperture. Sight Picture – the proper sight picture should have the front sight post centered in the rear aperture and the target sitting on top of the front sight post Trigger manipulation – squeeze the trigger straight back while maintaining the proper sight alignment. Follow through – maintain the sight picture and hold the trigger to the rear for a moment after the shot. We then reviewed the five laws of gun safety. - Treat every gun as if it is loaded. - Always keep the gun pointed in a safe direction. - Keep your finger off the trigger until you are ready to fire. - Never point your gun at anything you don’t intend to shoot. - Be sure of your target and what is beyond it. Range safety officers we designated and the firearms training incident protocol was reviewed. CPL McVey gave instruction on basic weapon manipulation, firing positions and how to reload the weapon. He demonstrated the proper technique for: Admin load – An Admin load is performed when you are loading the weapon for the first time such as stepping off from the FOB. With the weapon on safe and pointed in a safe direction, insert a full magazine and chamber a round. Tactical reload – A Tactical reload is performed when there is a break in the fight and you have time and cover. Keep your head up and the weapon in the workspace. Remove a full magazine from its pouch and place it alongside the magazine in your weapon, gripping both magazines with your support hand. The magazines should form an “L” shape with the rounds of the fresh magazine facing forward and pointed down. Depress the magazine release button and remove the magazine, then rotate your hand and insert the fresh magazine into the weapon. Place the partially empty magazine back in a pouch or dump pouch. Speed Reload – A Speed reload is performed when you are in a fight and run out ammunition. Keep your head up, turn the weapon so that you can see the chamber and confirm that it is indeed an empty magazine and not a malfunction. Depress the magazine release and swing the weapon in an arc as if you are scribing a “J” with the magazine. This will eject the magazine and allow it to fall to the ground. With your support hand, remove a fresh magazine from its pouch and insert it into the weapon. Depress the bolt release to chamber a round. Get back in the fight. CPL McVey stressed the importance of communicating with your fire team members during the various reload procedures. During a Tactical reload you should “ask” for permission by saying “CHECK”, other members acknowledge by saying “COVERING”. Do not reload until you get an acknowledgement from the other members of your fire team. When you have reloaded, indicate you are ready by saying “UP”. During a Speed reload there is no need to ask for permission, you’re out of ammunition and must reload to resume the fight. You say “RELOADING” and the other members acknowledge with “COVERING”. When you have reloaded, indicate you are ready by saying “UP”. Afterward, the troops had the opportunity to warm up and check the sighting of their rifles. All troops performed the Disassembly, Assembly and Function Check drill under the supervision of CPT Felix. Each troop had to disassemble their weapon as far as possible without the use of tools. Then re-assemble the weapon and perform as function check. This was a timed drill and had to be completed in 60 seconds or less. The unit broke for lunch at 1230. After lunch, the troops assembled at the range and prepared for the 25 meter qualification. The targets used were the AQT simulated distance targets – 100 meter standing, 200 meter sitting or kneeling, 300 and 400 meter prone. Each troop was required to fire 15 rounds and perform one reload on each target. A qualifying score of 35 or higher was necessary to pass this part of the qualification. After a full afternoon on the range, 11 of 17 troops qualified. They will move on to the long range part of the qualification. Lessons Learned and Recommendations: Shooting prone requires practice and good fundamentals. Post Training Activities: Several troops stayed behind to adjust their rifles and took the opportunity to fire a Swiss K31 military surplus rifle brought by SFC Tade. This rifle is chambered in 7.5 x 55 Swiss. The rifle is a magazine feed bolt action with an unusual straight pull back bolt.

In the far future A.D. 2008 aliens have invaded the Earth and launched a full-scale war that threatens humankind. Earth’s scientists have built two of the ultimate weapons, the Strike Gunner, piloted by Mark McKenzie and Jane Sinclair to repel the invasion and destroy the alien armies. The player goes through various levels and stages, usually based around certain environmental elements and faces numerous types of enemies. The levels feature wave after wave of normal enemies ranging from helicopters to gun turrets that usually only require one or two hits to destroy. At various points in each level, the player faces a boss vehicle. At certain points, a stealth bomber (or in later levels, a space shuttle or capsule) will appear to airdrop the player laser power-ups, recharge special weapons, or give a speed boost. Using the Strike Gunner, the player is armed with a dual red laser weapon that can be upgraded several times to a more powerful blue laser. In addition to this weapon, the player chooses a second, more powerful “special weapon” with a limited charge before they begin the mission. There are 10 advanced weapons (15 in the SNES version) to pick from. This allows for a strategic approach to the game because certain weapons are more effective on certain missions. The “special weapon” has various limitations, depending on which one is being used.

Erotisk E2 or M36 slugger - Tank Destroyers - World of Tanks official forum Pictures The M36 combined the hull of the M10 tank destroyerwhich used the M4 Sherman's reliable chassis and drivetrain combined with M36 Slugger armorand a massive new turret mounting the 90 mm gun M3. Conceived inthe M36 first served in combat in Europe in Octoberwhere it partially replaced the M10 tank destroyer. It also saw use in the Korean Warwhere it was able to defeat any of the Soviet tanks used M36 Slugger that conflict. Some were supplied to South Korea as part of the Military Assistance Program and served for years, as did re-engined examples found in Yugoslaviawhich operated into the s. Two remained in service with the Republic of China Army at least until The vehicle is also M36 Slugger under the unofficial nickname Jacksonbut this designation appears to be a postwar misnomer that was never used by the US Army. Tank destroyer units were meant to counter German blitzkrieg tactics. Tank destroyer units were to be M36 Slugger as a reserve at the corps or army level, and were to move quickly to the site of any massed enemy tank breakthrough, maneuvering aggressively and using ambush tactics charging or chasing enemy tanks was explicitly prohibited to destroy enemy tanks. This led to a requirement for very fast, well-armed vehicles. The idea was to use speed and agility as a defense, rather than thick armor, to bring a powerful self-propelled gun into action against enemy tanks. With the advent of heavy German armor such as the Panther and Tigerthe standard U. M36 Slugger was foreseen, however, and in Jenna Jameson Boots summer American engineers had begun analyzing the potential of designing a new tank destroyer armed with a 90mm gun. This study resulted in a prototype vehicle, the 90 mm Gun Motor Carriage T53which placed the 90 mm gun in an open mounting at the rear of an M36 Slugger Sherman chassis. The Tank Destroyer Force objected, arguing that the Alexis Texas Porn of the T53 was too rushed. In Octoberthe Ordnance Department tested mounting the experimental 90 mm gun T7 into the turret of an M10 tank destroyer. Mounting the 90 mm gun was straightforward, but the gun proved too heavy for the M10's turret. A new turret was designed that incorporated power traverse and a massive counterweight to balance the gun. Initially, a request for full production was denied as 90 mm guns were already being studied for use on tanks, but Army Ground Flower Tucci Xxx approved the project in Octoberand tests began. The ring mount on the left side of the turret for the. It was decided that production vehicles would use the chassis of the M10A1 tank destroyer, as significant numbers of M10A1s were available, and it was determined 1000cc Implants the M10A1 had superior automotive characteristics. After testing, M36 Slugger initial order for vehicles was issued. After Julythe appliqué armor bosses on the hull side of the M10A1 were deleted as the armor kits were never manufactured. This meant that some M36s had the redundant bosses, while others did not. The M36 initially retained the M10A1's "stirrup" gun rest on the rear hull; crews were unhappy about the lack of a proper travel lock for the 90 mm gun, and many improvised their own from travel locks taken from tanks. As the massive muzzle blast of the 90 mm gun obscured the crew's vision and reduced the rate of fire, a double-baffle muzzle brake was fitted to all vehicles after the firstbeginning in early November A proper folding travel lock better-suited to the 90 mm gun was added to the rear hull at about this time. As the initial contract was M36 Slugger vehicles, General Motors' Fisher Tank Arsenal produced the last M10A1 tank destroyers in January M36 Slugger turrets for immediate conversion to M36s. This conversion lasted from April to July The contract was later increased to vehicles, as it was decided that existing M10A1s were also to be converted to M36s. The requirement was later increased to vehicles on May 15, As it was found that the M10 tank destroyer had struggled against German tanks like the Panther and especially the Tiger during the Normandy campaignthe contract was increased to 1, vehicles on July 29, This caused problems, as only of the 1, M10A1s that had been completed could be requisitioned from training units. Due to the lack of M10A1 hulls, it was decided to finish up the initial production run by mounting M36 turrets onto M4A3 Sherman hulls, with the necessary internal changes. The Army reduced the 1,vehicle objective for to 1, vehicles. The supply of M10A1s eventually ran out, so it was decided in January that M10 hulls would be used for all further conversions. The first 40 M36s did not make it overseas until Septemberand entered combat in October The rd Tank Destroyer Battalion began reequipping on 30 September The Third US Army used them to reequip towed battalions. Another th gunner, Lt. Alfred Rose, scored a kill against a Panther at 4, yards metresthe maximum range of the telescopic sight. However, the Panther's 82 to 85mm thick glacis plate could deflect certain shots from the 90 mm gun at just yards metresand the mm thick front armor of M36 Slugger Tiger II could only be penetrated in a few hard-to-hit places. It could destroy any Soviet-made M36 Slugger deployed in that theater of operations. South Korean tank battalions were provided with M36s along with a small number of M10 tank destroyers during the Korean War. M36s were also exported after World War II to various countries. One recipient was Yugoslaviawhich received Yugoslavian M36s participated in the Croatian War of Independence —but they were withdrawn immediately from service with the Croatian Armed Forces after the war. As of Aprilat least two still remained in service with troops in Lieyu Township. American tank destroyer doctrine emphasized speed and gun power over armor. As the M10 and M36 were not purpose-built tank destroyers they were based on tank chassis they were not as fast as the Tank Xxl Butik Stockholm Force wanted. General Andrew Bruce criticized the M36 due to it being too slow. The thickness of the M36's armor ranged from 0. The lower hull had 1 in 25 mm thick armor on the sides and rear. The rounded, cast transmission cover was 2 in 51 mm thick. Like the M10, the M36 lacked the extra 0. The glacis plate was 1. The sides and rear of the M36 Slugger hull were 0.

The rear upper hull plate was used for storage of the vehicle's pioneer tools; a 5 lb 2. The track tensioning wrench was also stowed there. As a result, there were no appliqué armor bosses there regardless. The sides and rear of the upper hull featured angled extensions or covers over the upper run of track. These extensions often got in the way of fitting duckbill extended end connectors, used to reduce ground pressure on soft ground, and were often removed, along with the front fenders, by maintenance units. The hull roof plate ranged from 0. The sides of the M36's rounded turret were 1. A massive hollow cast counterweight was welded to the rear of the turret to balance the heavy gun. The top was 0. The rear was 1. The rounded cast gun shield was 3 in 76 mm thick. The gunner aimed the gun using the M76F telescope. The 90 mm gun M3 was the standardized version of the experimental T7, a derivative of the 90 mm gun developed as a vehicle-mounted antitank weapon. The M36 carried 47 rounds of main gun ammunition, 11 of which were stowed in the hollow counterweight, while 36 rounds were stowed in the sponsons. For combat use, the 90mm gun M3 could fire five types of ammunition:. The M82 armor-piercing capped shot was the main round used for engaging enemy tanks. It had a large explosive filler to increase damage after penetration. It was capable of penetrating mm 5. The T33 shot was a normal substitute standard M77 armor piercing shot that was heat-treated to improve its hardness and fitted with M36 Slugger ballistic windshield to improve its drag characteristics.

In its strategic plan to remain the world’s leading military power, the U. S. Army has announced its next phase of the Next Generation Squad Weapon – Fire Control Program (NGSW-FC). On April 23rd, 2020, the U.S. Army announced its selection of L3Harris and Vortex Optics as the two companies creating competitive prototypes for the new program. The Army NGSW weapon and Fire Control programs fall under the Soldier Lethality Portfolio, one of the Army’s top 6 Modernization Priorities. The NGSW-FC is an advanced optic that contains a laser range finder, a ballistic calculator and provides the shooter with an automatic, adjusted aimpoint. This capability transforms the “average” shooter to “marksman” capability on the first shot, making him more accurate and lethal. When connected to the T-Worx Intelligent Rail platform, this “smart optic” can be connected to the tactical battlefield network. An Army formation outfitted with T-Worx Intelligent Rail® enabled weapons will operate with increased situational awareness and effectiveness as soldiers and squads are able to share information, such as target location, bearing and identification simply by looking through their Fire Control Optic and pushing buttons on the I-Rail controller node. As the companion program to the Army NGSW weapon program (now in its own prototyping Phase I competition with three selected OEMs), the NGSW-FC optic is on track to begin fielding before the NGSW final weapons enter their production in early CY 2022. As the only Army-approved vendor for Smart Rail components, T-Worx expects to support these two primes with Smart Rail integration services and products. Listed below are the NGSW-FC program highlights: With its patented Intelligent Rail® technology, T-Worx continues to support these Next Generation Squad Weapons programs, and other development efforts designed to enhance soldier lethality and safety. T-Worx is also participating in several other programs related to weapon platforms, sensor fusion and integration, vehicle platform integration, soldier network connectivity, training, and NATO modernization efforts.

When it comes to buying Viking battle axes, it is essential to understand the characteristics that define these formidable weapons. Viking battle axes were an integral part of Viking warfare and played a crucial role in their culture and history. To make an informed purchase decision, here are some key characteristics to consider. First and foremost, the material and construction of the battle axe are vital aspects to evaluate. Traditional Viking axes were crafted from iron or steel. Iron axes were common during the early Viking age, while steel axes gained popularity during the later period. Look for axes made from high-quality materials to ensure durability and strength. Modern reproductions often use high carbon steel, which offers excellent hardness. The size and weight of Viking battle axe are crucial factors to consider. Viking axes came in various sizes, ranging from one-handed axes to larger two-handed variants. One-handed axes were versatile and could be used in both close combat and throwing. They typically had a shorter handle, allowing for quick and agile movements. On the other hand, two-handed axes were more powerful and capable of inflicting significant damage. They had longer handles that provided greater leverage and reach. Consider your intended use and personal preference when selecting the size and weight of the axe. The shape and design of the axe head greatly influence its effectiveness in battle. Hachas Forjadas a Mano generally had a broad, wedge-shaped blade with a curved cutting edge. This design allowed for deep and powerful cuts while minimizing the chance of the axe getting stuck in an opponent’s armor or shield. Look for an axe head with a well-defined and sharp cutting edge for optimal performance. Some battle axes also featured a secondary point or spike on the opposite side of the blade, enabling thrusting attacks and besides providing additional versatility. Historically, Viking axes had wooden handles, often made from durable hardwoods like ash or hickory. Another important consideration is the handle or haft of the Viking battle axe. The handle should be sturdy, well-crafted, and properly secured to the axe head. Pay attention to the length and grip of the handle to ensure comfort and maneuverability. Longer handles provide greater leverage and reach but can be more challenging to wield, while shorter handles offer increased control and agility. Furthermore, the aesthetic and decorative elements of the Viking battle axe can also be of interest to some buyers. Many Viking axes featured intricate engravings or patterns on the blade or handle, showcasing the craftsmanship and artistry of the Vikings. These embellishments can add a touch of authenticity and visual appeal to the axe. However, it is important to remember that the primary function of the battle axe is as a weapon, so prioritize its functionality over purely decorative features. Lastly, consider the reputation and trustworthiness of the seller or manufacturer when purchasing a Viking battle axe. Ensure that they have a good track record of producing high-quality weapons and providing reliable customer service. Reading reviews and seeking recommendations can help you make informed decision.

1. MiG-29 Fulcrum (Russia) The MiG-29 Fulcrum was the Soviet Union's move to counter US fighter planes of the 1970s, such as the McDonnell Douglas F-15 Eagle, and the General Dynamics F-16 Fighting Falcon. This fighter was created by the Mikoyan Design Bureau. 2. Ilyushin Il-2 (Russia) The Il-2 was commonly referred to as the "Black Death" and "Flying Tank" by soldiers due to its heavy armor protection. The Flying Tank was virtually impossible for enemy fighter planes to shoot down. With that being said, the model seen here crashed in 1944 after it was struck by anti-aircraft fire. It was found in a lake in 1991 by a group of boy scouts with its rockets and bombs still attached to its wings. 3. Messerschmitt BF 109 E-3 (Germany) The Messerschmitt was built in Germany in 1939 and piloted by Eduard Hemmerling. He destroyed several British planes before being shot down and crashing off the coast of Cape Blanc Nez, France. The model seen here was discovered by a man walking on a beach of Calais, who spotted the plane's wing poking out from beneath the sand in 1988. 4. Supermarine Spitfire (United Kingdom) The Spitfire was Great Britain's response to the Messerschmitt fighter plane of the early 1940s. The aircraft was manufactured by Supermarine and featured an elliptical wing. Pilots dubbed it "a ballerina in flight" due to its easy maneuverability. The Spitfire was said to have been responsible for the Allied victory in the Battle of Britain. The model here was fully restored after it was shot at during a raid over enemy territory. 5. The Hawker Hurricane (United Kingdom) Although the previously-listed Spitfire is by far the more famous fighter of the two, the Hawker Hurricane actually managed to destroy more Axis aircraft during WWII. Many historians believe that the Hawker was Great Britain's secret weapon for victory during the war. The particular plane in the museum, delivered to the Royal Canadian Air Force in 1942, never saw any action. It made its way to the museum after being recovered from a farm in Ontario. 6. The Messerschmitt 163 Komet (Germany) The Komet was a rocket-propelled fighter, built specifically to destroy high-altitude bomber planes. Unfortunately, its fatal flaw was its Walter rocket motor, which had a tendency to explode mid-flight. It was, however, a breakthrough in technology at the time. The model seen here is only one of a dozen Me-163 fighter planes left in existence. 7. The Fieseler Storch (Germany) Storch is German for stork, and the plane apparently got its name from its resemblance to one. The plane's wings made it unique - they could be folded up and the plane could be transported by train. The Storch once rescued Benito Mussolini from a prison rooftop in 1943, and even served as a form of transportation for Adolph Hitler. The model seen here was found in East Germany sometime in the mid-1980s and has been fully restored since. 8. The Focke-Wulf 190 (Germany) For its time, the Focke-Wulf 190 was the most advanced radial engine fighter plane in the world. The bomber's unique design made it ideal for use in ground attack missions, and German pilots had high praise for its low-altitude flying ability. The plane seen here was discovered in the mid-1980s by a Russian hunter. It was subsequently transported to the United Kingdom, where it was restored to its original condition. Remarkably, it had remained largely intact despite crashing in a field. 9. Polikarpov I-16 (Russia) The Polikarpov, nicknamed Rata or "rat", was actually the world's first single-winged fighter plane with retractable landing gear. The plane was named after Nikolai Polikarpov, who built the Rata under strict supervision by Soviet dictator, Joseph Stalin. Stalin wanted a superior aircraft to help lead the Red Air Force in combat. The model seen here was discovered in 1991 - in the same factory where it had originally been manufactured. 10. Mitsubishi A6M Zero (Japan) What made the Zero truly unique was its ability to outmaneuver Allied fighter planes, thanks to its tiny turning radius and lightning-quick speed. Its main flaw was its lack of armor, which gave enemy planes a better chance of shooting it down - assuming they could keep up with it! The Zero model seen here was recovered in New Zealand sometime after WWII. It has since been fully restored to airworthy condition. 11. Focke-Wulf FW 190 D-13 (Germany) The Focke-Wulf 190 made its debut in 1937 and rivaled the British Spitfire, even proving to be superior to it in some respects. It was a supreme killing machine, taking on the nickname of "Würger", which means "Butcher Bird". This particular plane is airworthy, but it will likely never leave the ground due to its extreme rarity. 12. Polikarpov U-2 (Russia) Prior to WWII, the PO-2 was initially designed as a crop duster and gained notoriety thanks to the female Russian pilots that flew them. They would fly the planes at night over German encampments. While the bases did not sustain major damage, the sorties proved effective at keeping German troops on their toes. The fact that the pilots were women particularly rattled them. The model seen here was recovered in Belarus and later restored by the Polis Aero Club 13. Curtiss P-40C Tomahawk (United States) The P-40C Tomahawk came into being as a replacement for its older brother, the P-36. The P-40C was a revered fighter plane due to its cost efficiency and the possibility of dispatching it at a moment's notice during wartime. The shark mouth design, as used by the Flying Tiger squadron, forever etched it into the memory of devoted aviation fans. The model seen here was made in the USA and is the only airworthy P-40C in existence. 14. Grumman Hellcat (United States) The Hellcat was considered one of the best fighter planes to engage in combat over the Pacific. Its ability to withstand enemy fire led pilots to nickname it the "Aluminum Tank." It was built to outperform the Japanese Mitsubishi Zero and had folding wings for compact hangar and deck storage. The Grumman Aircraft Engineering Corporation was able to produce one Hellcat per hour, a feat that hasn't been matched by any other airplane manufacturer to this very day. The model seen here is only one of a few remaining in the world. 15. The White Knight (United States) The White Knight was developed by an American aerospace company called Scaled Composites. The spacecraft features a pair of J-85 GE-5 turbojet engines and is funded by aerospace engineer Burt Rutan and Paul Allen himself. The 8,000lb (3,623kg) plane is able to launch at an altitude of 8.7 miles (14km). In order to prepare pilots for spaceflight, the White Knight's cockpit was configured to resemble SpaceShipOne. 16. North American P-51 Mustang (United States) The Mustang is the fighter plane that's given the most credit for the Allied victory in Europe during WWII. Lieutenant Harrison B."Bud" Tordoff, who flew this very plane, had been assigned to conduct daylight raids against Germany. He assisted numerous Allied ground forces all across Europe during the war. Since then, the plane was stored in Raydon, England before ending up in Paul Allen's museum. The P-51 was fitted with a Rolls-Royce Merlin engine and had an impressive flying range. Lt. Tordoff was reunited with his former "baby" during a visit to Allen's museum in 2003. 17. Curtiss JN-4 Jenny (United States) Jenny was the brainchild of American engineer, Glenn Curtis. The plane wasn't anything special in terms of its features, but it was highly cost-efficient to produce. Many US and Canadian fighters were trained to pilot the Jennys, but never made it into combat. After WWI, the planes were then used to entertain people at flight shows. The daredevil pilots would even give rides to audience members. The Jenny seen here was made in 1918 and remains one of just a few left in existence today. 18. Nakajima Ki-43 "Oscar" (Japan) The Kamikaze pilots of Japan had favored the lightweight fighter planes for their ease of maneuverability. Although the Oscar planes were easy to fly, they weren't much use in combat, because they were slow and had limited firepower. The model seen here was discovered in Rabaul, Papua New Guinea. Ironically, the plane was repaired by former Japanese soldiers using parts from other salvaged Oscars. 19. North American B-25J Mitchell (United States) The B-25 shot to fame when it became the first American aircraft to bomb the Japanese mainland. The B-25 was assigned to Lt. Col. Jimmy Doolittle, who took off from the Hornet aircraft carrier in 1942 en route to Japan. He and his fellow pilots made their way across the Pacific before carrying out their mission. The U.S. Army kept the vast majority of the B-25s after the war and used them as transports and training aircraft. The model here was built in 1944 and served the Royal Canadian Air Force for a decade before it was sold off in 1961. 20. Republic P-47 Thunderbolt (United States) Take one look at this gigantic, seemingly indestructible aluminum frame, and you can tell why many US fighter pilots flew this airplane. The Thunderbolt's engine was considered "unbreakable", and the plane even featured .50-caliber machine guns and heavy armor. The U.S. Army Air Corps began manufacturing the Thunderbolt in 1941 for the upcoming campaign in Europe. The model seen here was manufactured by Republic Aviation of Evansville, Indiana. The Thunderbolt features the trademark "Tallahassee Lassie" logo and was piloted by Col. Ralph C. Jenkins.

The design of my knives has evolved as I have progressed, mainly to suit my needs and the way I use them, but also due to input from friends and colleagues whose skills and experience I respect. They have a Scandinavian type, single beveled edge which gives excellent control of cutting angle against the work piece. With this type of edge it is relatively simple to maintain the correct angle while sharpening. I use O1 tool steel for the blades and a range of hardwoods for the handles. Synthetic handle options are available in the form of Tufnol, Micarta and G10. O1 tool steel is a high carbon, non-stainless steel so requires more care than stainless steels. This steel will take and hold a very fine polished edge that is well suited to working with wood. The main advantage in using this steel is the ease of sharpening, particularly important when having to maintain an edge in the field with pocket stones. My preferred method of construction is to use a hollow ground or tapered tang with scales and liners fixed in place with epoxy resin and Loveless or Corby bolts. A hollow ground tang is essentially a concaved section ground out of the tang, this serves to lower the overall weight in the handle and improve the balance and feel of the knife. It also improves the epoxy bond between scales, liners and steel of the tang. A tapered tang further reduces weight in the handle which works well with blades of 4mm thickness and over. Loveless bolts are by far the strongest method I have found of fixing the handle in place. The diagram above show's a cross section through a handle and how the bolts secure everything in place. I also frequently use Corby bolts which have a cleaner look while maintaining a good mechanical joint.

NK Fusion Bomb The bomb tested by North Korea had a yield 10-15 times greater than the Hiroshima bomb, so was it a true fusion bomb? We don't know yet, but it seems likely. 120 Kilotons, while on the small side for a fusion bomb, is really big for a fission bomb. One possibility is that it was Sakharov's First Idea type layer cake bomb, a simpler fusion assisted type of bomb which probably can't get either really big yields or fit on a reasonable sized missile. Ulam-Teller type designs, used by all the other thermonuclear powers are able to be both compact and extremely powerful. In any case, a 120 kiloton bomb can devastate a large city.

With all of the turbulence about North Korea and nuclear war, I’ve been getting some questions lately about what does nuclear war really mean. My simple answer is, NOT GOOD. The first aspect is fairly normal for war if you want to call anything about war normal. Nuclear bombs are very destructive on a pound for pound basis. For a relatively small size, they destroy a relatively large area. While in Oklahoma City several years ago a truckload of fertilizer bomb destroyed a building and a few other surrounding buildings, a nuclear bomb of comparable size would flatten a rather large part of a city. However, this is a relatively small problem with respect to nuclear bombs. The biggest problem with nuclear bombs is the radioactivity associated with them. Think in terms of the Japanese nuclear power plant, Fukushima, or the Ukraine power plant fire, Chernobyl. Both areas are still uninhabitable because of residual radiation. This radiation consists of high-energy particles given off by the elements in the bomb. These particles interact with our body cells’ reproduction processes causing an increase in mutations. The mutations are frequently bad, and we end up dying prematurely, radiation sickness, or if we survive longer, they frequently result in cancer. The radioactive decay is such that this residual radiation is around for quite some time. Also, the wind carries it over a large area, so the problem is not just restricted to the attack site. The big question becomes for how long and how far is the radiation a problem. My thoughts years ago were that the US could explode all of our weapons right here and kill every living mammal on the planet. This sort of thinking was promulgated by the 1959 movie “On The Beach.” One of my Swiss physicist friends built a new house and was required by the government to build a bomb shelter in the basement. He decided to also build a wine cellar. The shelter was to the left the wine cellar to the right. He always said that in the advent of a nuclear war he would go right. In a discussion with one of my colleagues the other day, we had a similar discussion about the usefulness of a bomb shelter. While he doesn’t have a shelter, he told me he had done some calculations with respect to the decay of radioactive material in a bomb. His results indicated that after two weeks you could survive coming out of the shelter. Other articles I have recently read indicate that a nuclear war is survivable from a physics and biological viewpoint. However, there are many other considerations outside the realm of science. For example, there would most likely be a serious destruction of infrastructure. How would survivors get food, safe water, etc.? Based on the science as I understand it, a nuclear war is survivable, but its consequences are beyond my imagination. It is something I would definitely prefer to not see happen.

The future is now. Well, every second that ticks by is another step into the future. But I digress. Ubergizmo dug up this gem of a story. SelectDNA, a UK-based company has created a non-lethal method of tracking criminal for later apprehension. Simply put, a DNA bullet is fired from a plastic gun that leaves an identifiable and unique mark. Currently, police use rubber, electronic and paint bullets as non-lethal methods of criminal apprehension. This is all well and good, but DNA is the ultimate tracing tool, unique as a fingerprint and practically impossible to remove once tagged. The main function of the SelectDNA gun, which may become a rifle at a later date, is to tag suspected criminals for “accurate identification at a later date”. The DNA bullets are also “less confrontational”. DNA bullet accuracy is 30 to 40-meters, with each bullet weighing under 1g. Fourteen bullets fit into each cartridge, with each bullet sharing the same DNA tracking signal. This may pose a problem if fourteen suspects have been shot with the same bullet, but at the very least, the suspects presence at the crime scene can be tracked and established. I’m a great supported of non-lethal weapons, technology and DNA wizardry, so the SelectDNA gun gets my early vote for gadget of the year. via Judge Dredd-style non-lethal DNA bullets track criminals in the name of justice | Gearburn.

Sorry, but copying text is forbidden on this website! On August 6, 1945 an American bomber dropped the atomic bomb on Hiroshima., Japan. Three days later another atomic bomb was dropped on Nagasaki, Japan . Theses bombs brought the end of World War two with Japan. After the Allies defeated the Axis powers in Europe, America need a way to quickly end the war. This came the decision to drop atomic bombs on Japan, which was a military necessity. The drain of early battles, an full-scale invasion on Japan, and the threat of Soviet influence cause for such a dramatic decision to be made. The United States had managed to stay out of war in Europe, until the bombing of Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941. This bombing by the Japanese had dragged America into the fight (Doc A). The Pacific front of the war was one of the bloodiest. Americans had lost its footing in the Eastern front in the early years. Such as the lost of control of the Philippines, when General MacArthur retreated to to Australia on April 9, 1942. It wasn’t until June of that year at the battle of Midway when the U.S. started to turn the tables. Fighting on two fronts was draining on the U.S. and after V-E day in March of 1945, the United States need a way to end the war soon, or face a the war to continue to drag on, causing thousands of more American lives. The United States didn’t think of dropping the bomb to end the war at first. U.S. forces had began to plan a full scale invasion on Japan’s mainland in November 1945. American forces had been bombing cities, military bases, and industries, in Japan since the take over of Guam in the battle of Marianas on June 1944 (Doc E). The invasion of Japan would cause millions of deaths, not only American, but Japanese lives as well (Doc C). The atomic bomb had began construction under President Roosevelt to use against the Germans (Doc B). Once Truman became president, the bomb seemed to be the quickest way to end the war while spearing as many lives as possible (Doc D). The drop of an Atomic bomb would also end the need for Soviet assistance in ending the war with Japan (Doc F). With the Soviet Union joining came the threat of communism spreading. It seemed not a good idea to be in the situation to need help from the USSR. Some think the bomb was a way to threaten the Soviet Union. To show off the U.S. power (Doc G). After dropping the first atomic bomb, Stalin declared war on Japan, August 8, 1945. This raised the even more need to drop the second bomb. That caused Japan asked of peace on the 10th of August 1945, stopping the need for the not so welcome support. Though the out come of the bombing was terrible (Doc I), and some like to say there where other ways to end the war, avoiding using the atomic bomb (Doc H).Though in the end the dropping of the two atomic bombs was a necessity. It was the only option to end the war, without causing a significant number of lives in that time.

The crossbow is not new to archery just like the long bow. This bow was initially used for warfare and featured in several renowned campaigns such as the Hastings War. The bows’ popularity grew as is evident based on widespread use in central Europe, close to the Mediterranean, and in East Asia. The bow was so popular by the 12th century that it had almost rendered the long bow obsolete. The main reason for its rapid spread and popularity in the military was tactical in nature. The traditional long bow though the light would require several years of training for an individual to become proficient from a long distance. On the contrary, the crossbow just required a few weeks of training for the vast majority to gain adequate proficiency in aiming and using the weapon. The rapid release once locked is another advantage useful in war. In recent years archery has been gaining popularity around the world thanks to technological advances that have made the bows better and the nature of the sport. Archery is very relaxing and is a lifetime sport. This means an archer can practice all through their lifetime and progress in skill while continually enjoying the sport for years on end. Furthermore, the sport is perfect for disabled people, and even those who due to injury or rheumatic problems cannot enjoy other sports. But how does one go about getting the best crossbow?

Best Crossbow Buying Guide What is a Crossbow? A crossbow is a weapon primarily used in hunting and sport, though it has its roots in Medieval warfare. Consisting of a horizontal limb that is mounted across a stock, a crossbow gives the shooter a more steady and powerful way to quick-load a bolt or quarrel (i.e. a smaller arrow) for rapid fire with the same accuracy and silence as a bow. While most crossbows are made for short-distance fire, there are some crossbows that are used for long-distance shooting. Crossbows have seen a recent spike in popularity thanks to games like Skyrim where the crossbow is one of the most popular weapons available. It should be mentioned that, unlike Skyrim, taking an arrow to the knee hurts so always use caution when firing a crossbow and never use one to harm a human being! Types of Crossbows There are both recurve and compound crossbows. The recurve crossbow is less complicated will have longer arms or limbs with a single string, and can be a little more cumbersome to use in tight places. The compound crossbow will have shorter and stiffer arms but will have more complicated stringing through the arms, wheels, and pulleys and may use one or more strings. However, this makes it easier to cock a stronger draw on a compound crossbow than on a recurve crossbow. Most compound crossbows will shoot the same weight arrows at a faster speed than will a recurve crossbow. This is relevant to the Draw Weight and Power Stroke. Not long ago most crossbow arms were made from steel. Today, most crossbow arms are made from fiberglass or a variety of composites in an array of designs. A recurve crossbow is the main and traditional style of the crossbow on the market. By using two solid limb assemblies which are attached right onto the stock of the crossbow, a recurve is able to fire a bolt with great power by sweeping back the limbs and pulling the tips forward. This creates greater potential energy, giving you a ton of speed and power. The more recent crossbow is called the compound crossbow. Compound crossbows resemble a compound bow (used in sports archery and hunting) in that they can either have split limbs or single limbs. A compound crossbow is heavier than a recurve bow and uses a cam system. Aside from the split and single limbs, a compound crossbow is also different from a recurve in that its limbs are much shorter, making it ideal for hunting where space is limited due to blinds and treestands. Things To Consider Before Buying A Crossbow Crossbows are typically ranked by pull or draw weights, usually in the range of 80 to over 200 pounds. The draw weight is the amount of force that it takes to draw a bow. The most typical or standard is a pull weight of around 150 pounds. This will propel an arrow at over 300 feet per second. Most people can hand cock a 150-pound pull weight. However, there are a number of cocking aids available like a rope cocking aid or crank cocking aids that, although slower to reload, dramatically reduce the strength needed to cock the crossbow. The Power Stroke is the distance that the bow string travels from the rest position to the full draw. The longer the power stroke, the faster an arrow will travel using the same draw weight. Arrows Bolts and Points Arrows for crossbows are usually referred to as bolts and in today’s modern world, they can be manufactured from a large variety of materials such as aluminum, carbon, fiberglass, and composites to name a few. There are also a huge variety of points to choose from. For instance, an aluminum shaft will do well with a 125-grain point, whereas a carbon shaft will perform better with a 100 or less-grain point. It is very important to select the correct length, spline, and points for your crossbow. Most manufacturers will list a series of recommended arrows and points for your specific crossbow. Field points and Broadhead points are the two most common points. Target points are bullet-shaped with a sharp point. Field points are similar to target points but with a tapered shoulder, designed to make them easier to remove. Broadheads will usually have either two or four sharp blades that come to a point and will cause massive bleeding. Most crossbows will come with a metal or optical sight and in some cases a red dot sight. You wouldn’t think that for such short-range shooting, you would even need a sight. But after around 30 or 40 yards there is such a rapid drop-off rate that it is essential that you know the precise distance at which you are shooting. We highly recommend that you purchase any needed accessories, such as sights for instance, that you may need at the time you purchase your crossbow. In as much as the rate of change and advancement of technology is so quick these days, proper fitting accessories for the crossbow you buy today may not be available five or six years from now. How To Select A Good Crossbow In the hunting realm, it would seem that professionals and amateurs alike are getting caught up on one weapon: the crossbow. Due to this overwhelming booming demand, manufacturers of these weapons have attempted to step up their game; releasing new crossbow lines and researching and developing new ideas for future products. If you are thinking of joining the revolution, and wish to pursue a wild game with a good crossbow in your artillery, you may be wondering which crossbow would be right for you and how you choose from all of the different kinds. Well, crossbows are just like any other hunting weapon you may be interested in, you must first determine and evaluate your needs and then choose a product based on those properties. Money may be one of the biggest factors. Just like most items sold, there will be a variety of models, ranging from a crossbow that is a couple of hundred dollars to thousands. Do not fret if you are unable to get the best crossbow on the market, as all manufacturers will give you a quality product no matter which model you choose. Customer service in this industry is top-notch, so you will not have to worry about not receiving repairs or consideration. With that in mind, take a minute to determine your price range. Once you have established this important option, determine what you prefer in terms of model and style. If new to hunting altogether, it may be best to get the help of an expert when you go to the store. For example, do you want a crossbow that is already equipped with a cocking device, or will you be able to do this chore yourself? Stock and finish are also up to personal choice. Crossbows are available in After this has been decided, let’s move on to what brand you will choose. This is also a matter of personal choice, and there is not one right brand out there that is better than another. Going to a specialty store that carries many different brands may help you discover what each company has to offer. Finally, you should consider how heavy you wish your crossbow to be. If you are female, you will probably want a lighter crossbow than a man would. Again, consult a salesperson or someone who knows this arena for assistance if you are unsure. Crossbows are the new big thing in hunting, go out and get one today! Now that you’ve read our reviews, you should also know how to pick a crossbow for hunting. But as experts in the bowhunting field, we strongly recommend you buy Wicked Ridge RDX 400, TenPoint Titan M1, and PSE ARCHERY Fang HD.

Best Throwing Knives Buying Guide When buying a set of throwing knives, there are a few things you should take note of. If you are not careful with a throwing knife, you could easily injure others and yourself. Best throwing knives should really not be sharp. You may be hurt or injured by throwing knives that are sharp, whether or not you decide to throw from the blade. Bouncebacks of throwing knives may cut your hand. The most essential thing in a good throwing knife is a tip or an end that is a little narrow and flat. This kind of tip will always find a mark in the wood if your aim is true. In best throwing knives, simpler is always better, especially when it comes to the handles. Handles may be made of stainless steel, wood, horn, or aluminum. Handles that are simple and round-shaped are best. While elaborate or intricately designed handles may look good and beautiful, throwing them may be somewhat awkward. Throwing knives that have spikes may affect the balance and accuracy of your aim because the protruding parts restrict your grip, and may even become tangles in your hands. Balance is equally important in selecting the best throwing knife for you. Throwers can be handle-heavy or blade-heavy. A handle-heavy knife is best thrown when the blade is gripped. A blade-heavy knife is best thrown when the handle is gripped. Balanced knives along their center-point are thrown from the handle and the blade equally. The ideal throwing knife does not weigh more than half a pound. Any lighter and it will wobble mid-throw. Any heavier and you would require more strength to throw, thereby impacting and affecting your balance and your aim. When you get better at the art of knife-throwing, you can always buy heavier throwing knives. The ideal length should be no less than 7 inches to no more than 9 inches. This will ensure that the knife balances on either the blade or on the handle. The important thing is that a throwing knife must be in perfect equilibrium. You should also consider staying within your budget when shopping for best throwing knives. On a final note, whether you are throwing knives for sport, during hunting, or just for target practice, you need to exercise caution and carefulness when throwing knives so you do not hurt yourself and others.

In March 1983, President Ronald Reagan announced his plans to create a futuristic defense system designed to ensure the western world remained free of nuclear attack by the Soviets. While the Strategic Defense Initiative was its official title, the project is far better known by its nickname: Star Wars. The idea, which finally got off the ground in 1984, was a decidedly far-reaching and alternative one. Essentially, the plan involved deploying powerful laser-based weapons into the Earth’s orbit that, in essence, would provide a collective shield that could skillfully and decisively destroy any incoming Soviet or Chinese nuclear weapons. The program was not just ambitious: it finally proved to be overly ambitious. Ultimately, the Strategic Defense Initiative program collapsed under its own weight and a lack of adequate technology to allow it to work in the fashion that Reagan had enthusiastically envisaged. Nevertheless, it wasn’t entirely abandoned: during the Clinton administration it became the Ballistic Missile Defense Organization, and is today known as the Missile Defense Agency. Although the MDA is a vital component of America’s defense and security, it’s a far cry from the Star Wars-like SDI-based imagery of hundreds of laser-firing weapon-systems positioned high above the United States. But, in its very earliest years, SDI was seen as a winner by many. Certainly, Edward Teller was gung-ho for the project.

I question why you are set on 45-70? Five Best New Cartridges for Deer Hunting Derrek Sigler 09.22.20 Each and every year, the ammo and rifle manufacturers get together and at least one of them will release a hot, new deer cartridge that will revolutionize the deer hunting world – or so they say. Rifle Equipment: Centerfire rifles .357 caliber or larger, shooting straight-walled ammunition with an expanding-type bullet where: Straight-walled, centerfire, rimless cartridges have bullets that are from 0.357" to 0.500" in diameter and have a case length from 0.850" to 1.800" WIth that, what is the best caliber rifle for deer hunting? RECOIL: With lighter bullets, the .450 Bushmaster, .350 Legend and other straight-wall cartridges generate less recoil than a 12-gauge slug (especially a rifled version) in a standard hunting load. DAVENPORT, Iowa — For the second time, Iowa deer hunters going out for the first shotgun season on Saturday, December 1 will be able to use straight wall cartridge rifles… Iowa is not planning to open a special season for these weapons. The .350 Legend, in fact, produces about 8.5 pounds of felt recoil in a 7-pound rifle—less than a .243 Win. A few folks used a 243 Winchester (the smallest caliber that was legal for deer hunting in Kentucky at that time), a couple of fellows that I knew used a 270 Winchester, and one guy used a 280 Remington. Think about how many years good old boys used a Winchester 94 to hunt deer with. The State is, however, allowing them to be used during qualified youth hunting season, as well as, disabled hunter’s seasons. 30-30 Winchester. The fine for being caught afield with any variation of these, or any rifle with a non-legal caliber is $250 and a 2-year hunting privilege suspension! There have, arguably, been more deer taken with this cartridge than any other on the market. I use several different handgun caliber carbines for Wisconsin deer, none of them are 45-70. If I thought I really needed something larger than a .44 mag rifle, I would go for a TC in .460(actually used to have a T/C Pro Hunter Katahdin Hunter Carbine in .460). Available in multiple deer-hunting friendly caliber options, these rifles feature barrel lengths check in at just under 22 inches and have a twist rate of 1:10. Some are easier on the shoulder than 20-gauge slug loads. Hunting rifle calibers for large game may include belted magnum cartridges such as .300 Win Mag or .375 H&H, or heavy big-bore cartridges like .45-70 or .458 Win Mag. The 4 Best Straight-Walled Rifle Cartridges for Deer Hunting For generations, a lot of states have allowed deer hunters to use only shotguns with slugs or maybe a muzzleloader during gun … When I started deer hunting in the 1970s, most of my friends either used a 30-06 or a 30-30. 10 Best 6.5mm Rifle Cartridges Available Right Now Ammo 10 Best 6.5mm Rifle Cartridges Available Right Now Joseph von Benedikt - August 28, 2020.

What is CornerViewer® and how does it work? CornerViewer® is a premium enhanced optical sight. It’s advanced patented design has all of the usual features of a conventional optical sight with the addition of allowing the operator to position their weapon to see 90 degrees to either side. This is achieved by incorporating an advanced patented cube, the CornerCube®, into the eyepiece of the sight. When your CornerViewer® equipped weapon is held at 90 degrees beyond cover, looking into the side of the eyepiece, you can more safely determine targets or dangers to your sides and then engage as necessary. There are various techniques and solutions to shoot around a corner from a cover position. Many solutions are complex and require highly technical weapon conversions or additional equipment to be mounted to the weapon. The CornerViewer® is the simple solution to this problem. CornerViewer® can also be easily attached to most any weapon mounting system. CornerViewer® was born from actual urban terrain combat experiences. Many dangers exist for the foot soldier or law enforcement officer in any terrain but none as much as in an urban combat zone. Any operator tends to naturally search for cover behind the corners of buildings, vehicles, walls, trees, etc. Around every corner are potential extreme dangers such as ambushes, snipers, and IED’s (Improvised Explosive Devices). With the CornerViewer®, you can more easily see what awaits you around that corner while minimizing your exposure. The CornerViewer®‘s unique advanced concept is a professional product for today’s professional military and law enforcement operators.

Russia deployed a new coastal missile system Ball in the annexed Crimea, the Head of the press service of the Southern Military District of Russia Vadim Astafyev informed the Interfax. “The complex entered service with the coastal forces of the Russian Black Sea Fleet in the Crimea,” he said. Though, earlier in the press service of the Southern Military District noted that the Russian Black Sea Fleet received the Ball back in November. The missile system is able to hit targets with cruise missiles at a distance of up to 120 kilometers. And launchers can be placed 10 kilometers from the coast. Previously, in the military unit in Dzhankoy, the Black Sea Fleet of Russia deployed S-400 Triumph anti-aircraft missile systems. Prior to that, three S-400 divisions were deployed in the Crimea near the cities of Yevpatoria, Feodosia and Sevastopol. Earlier, the movement of coastal missile complex Ball was recorded along the Sevastopol-Kerch highway. Russia also intends to construct a new Voronezh-M radar station – a missile attack warning system, in the area of Sevastopol in 2019. The station, which could “detect” ballistic missile launches at a distance of up to three and a half thousand kilometers, is to be built on the site of the old Dnepr radar. Crimean lawyer Edem Semedlyaev said that the attempt to break into the lawyers ’office in the annexed Crimea was a pressure by the occupying authorities. He made a corresponding statement in a comment to the public association Crimean Solidarity, published on Facebook. This pressure is connected with the fact that we are participating the […] Ukrainian political prisoner Oleg Sentsov will be transferred from the medical unit to the detachment to serve out his sentences, the press service of the Office of the Federal Penitentiary Service of Russia in the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous District reported, as cited by TASS.

We have the following guns and weapons in Festung Lista's museum which is located in Hangar 45 at former Lista Airport. A 88mm Flak, which is an anti-aircraft gun. This was the mostly feared weapon of the world war 2. It can be moved by means of two sets of wheels which can be attached to either end of the gun. These sets of wheels where named Special trailer 202 (Sonderanhanger 202). A Bofors 40mm anti-aircraft gun. A Quad M45, with 4 pieces of 12,7mm guns. It was originally used as an anti-aircraft gun, but was later on used against vehicles and personel too. It was then nick-named "Meat chopper". A big Schneider 105mm canon designated K332(f). An american Mk. 6 mine. This mine was developed for use in the North sea, during WW1, but it was used until approx. 1970a 1970. This mine could be used at sea depths of up to 1000 meters. It was anchored to the seabed, with a wire up to the mine. An acoustic antenna was floating at the surface. The mine contained approximately 150 kiloes of TNT.

Saturday, June 13, 2009 My idea for the Nerf gun mentioned earlier in the blog has fallen through. I turned out that the tools and materials which i have aren't suitable for the specific design. I have changed the design so that it resembles more of a hunting rifle, similar to the one seen in the video game Fallout 3. I will soon be posting the blueprint for the design. It also uses the same at2k and long shot clip as the other design but its all attached to a single piece of wood, the stock. Thursday, June 11, 2009 Thursday, June 4, 2009 Again I was messing around with firecrackers (one of these days I'm gonna blow up something i dont want to. lol) and had the idea from a airsoft mine to make, what I'm gonna call a flash mine. It consists of the same firecracker that I used a the trigger in the smokebomb I made before. It simply consist of a pressure pad, springs, and a small firecracker. The idea behind it was to suprise the enemy and notify your team that they are there. I designed it to be easy enough to make many of them and if your playing airsoft/paintball in a forest so that you can bury them. Tuesday, June 2, 2009 Saturday, May 30, 2009 I was messing around this weekend with a couple of small firecrackers and a few smoke bombs, trying to build one that would be the easiest to make and have the most effective pull-pin trigger. I had the idea of exposing part of the firecracker (it was one where you pull the strings to make it explode) and then placing it in a small piece of PVC pipe filled with two smoke bombs, then sealed at one end with a hot glue coupler. My friend, HiddenZombie and I went up to an open field where we tested our design. The first one was a complete failure, which I believe was due to the firecracker not being close enough to the smoke bomb. Luckily the second one we tested was more successful, and proved that the firecracker was an effective means of setting it off. I am hopefully going to make some more of the smokes and next time I going to attempt to make a layer burning smoke using a candle. Monday, May 25, 2009 Recently I have been working with some PVC piping and came across the idea of making a bolt action Nerf gun. (for those of you who dont know, a Nerf gun is a toy gun that fires foam darts, however many people modify them, and trust me they can leave welts! :P). I'll later post a design of the gun. If you have any ideas or creations post them please. If you know someone else who has something they have made tell them and get them to post!

Also known as Ninja Stars referring to its shape, Shuriken (手裏剣) is a star-shaped throwing blade utilized by Shinobi and Kunoichi, one of most common weapons ninja carry in their arsenal. A shuriken thrown to the cranium of a guard is a classic way to perform a Hissatsu. Shuriken is a throwing weapon in form of sharpened, four-pronged star with a hole in the center constructed from thin, flat plate of metal. Though it can be used to lethally injure the opponent provided one targeted their vital point (ex. cranium), this throwing weapon mostly designed to distract or disable them. Utilizing it requires a great deal of practice to properly aim and throw. A shuriken star can be retrieved from the body of targets and used again. When enemy ninja prepare to throw one, the player can knock it from their hand and pick up the item for themselves, much like Healing Potions. If it misses a target and lands in a wall or the ground it can also be retrieved. Background Information and Notes - Basically, shuriken can be divided into two types, the Bo-shuriken (stick/dart-like type) and Hira-shuriken (plate type) , the latter which much popular. However, there is only one peculiarity which every shuriken shares and that is that they are so charred. This is because silk is covered onto a heated shuriken in order to cake the charcoal on the surface of a shuriken. This makes the shuriken less noticeable and prevents it from rusting. Also, the surface of a shuriken gets sandy and easier to paint poison on. Further to this, it becomes easier to throw it because of the gritty face and better grip. - Originally, the function of shuriken was for self-defense. It is said that the mold of the shuriken was small knives or big nails. With such a small sized weapon it is hard to throw and aim it for a one shot kill. But if some strong poison like aconite was painted on the shuriken, it becomes a powerful weapon. Even if ninjas did not have poison, soil or dog droppings which existed all around them could be substituted. Most people think that shuriken was a specific weapon for only ninjas to use, however this was not the case. Primarily, shuriken was a weapon used like a sword, spear, or arrow just like a samurai might use. Though shuriken was a weapon that could stir the imagination of enemies, samurais came to avoid shuriken. It is certainly a fact that Shuriken-jutsu (手裏剣術) still remains in some Kendo (剣道) schools. On the other hand for ninjas, shuriken was very convenient because it is portable and not so heavy.

We went on the 25M range to shoot .22 and 9mm pistols. Caz went first and she did rather well with the .22. The instructor (who was very good and had a good sense of humour) marked her target in the centre with chalk and told her that if she hit it she could keep the gun! He started to get a bit worried when she came pretty close, so he had to clarify that he was actually joking. He told me the .22s were for girls and gave me a 9mm! I've only ever used a shot gun before, shooting clay pigeons, so a pistol was new for me. I didn't do too bad I don't think, hitting the bull about 5 times. There is also a simulation machine with a laser gun where you can use lots of pre-set situations to test your shooting skills, which we said we might try on another occasion. I think Caz shot 25 rounds and I did 50 and it cost us Dhs500 (c£80), so it wasn't cheap for the half an hour or so we were in there, but it was good fun and worth it for the experience. Here's some pics... |Caracal Shooting Range|

Indo-Persian war hammer, heavy iron head with a hammer in front, a 4.5 in curved spike on the other side, cut channel decorations, hard wood shaft. |Type||Impact weapon or polearm| |Place of origin||Europe and the Middle East| |Head type||Hammer, sometimes an additional spike| |Haft type||One or two handed| A war hammer is a late medieval weapon of war primarily used for close combat action, whose design resembles the hammer. Its appearance is similar to that of an ice axe. Originating in Europe and the Middle East in response to plate armour technology, it was also introduced to South Asia by the Mughal Empire of India. A war hammer consists of a handle and a head. The length of the handle may vary, the longest being roughly equivalent to that of a halberd (5 to 6 feet), and the shortest about the same as that of a mace (2 to 3 feet). Long war hammers were pole weapons, or polearms, meant for use against riders, whereas short ones were used in closer quarters and from horseback. War hammers were developed as a consequence of the prevalence of surface-hardened steel on wrought iron armor of the late medieval battlefields during the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries. The surface of armor had become as hard as the edge of a blade, so blades tended to ricochet. Swords and battleaxes were likely to give only glancing blows, losing much of their impact, especially on the high curvature of helmets. A war hammer could deliver the full force of a blunt blow to the target. War hammers, especially when mounted on a pole, could damage without penetrating armor. In particular, they transmitted their impact through even the thickest helmets and caused concussions. Later war hammers often had a spike on one side of the head, making them more versatile weapons. A blade or spike tended to be used not against helmets but against other parts of the body where the armor was thinner and penetration was easier. The spike end could be used for grappling the target's armor, reins, or shield, or could be turned in the direction of the blow to pierce even heavy armor. Against mounted opponents, the weapon could also be directed at the legs of a horse, toppling the armored foe to the ground where they could be more easily attacked. A maul is a long-handled hammer with a heavy head, of wood, lead, or iron. Similar in appearance and function to a modern sledgehammer, it is sometimes shown as having a spear-like spike on the fore-end of the haft. The use of the maul as a weapon seems to date from the later 14th century. During the Harelle of 1382, rebellious citizens of Paris seized 3000 mauls (French: maillet) from the city armory, leading to the rebels being dubbed Maillotins. Later in the same year, Froissart records French men-at-arms using mauls at the Battle of Roosebeke, demonstrating that they were not simply weapons of the lower classes. A particular use of the maul was by archers in the 15th and 16th centuries. At the Battle of Agincourt, English longbowmen are recorded as using lead mauls, initially as a tool to drive in stakes but later as improvised weapons.(Strickland & Hardy 2005) Other references during the century (for example, in Charles the Bold's 1472 Ordinance) suggest continued use.(Strickland & Hardy 2005) They are recorded as a weapon of Tudor archers as late as 1562.(Strickland & Hardy 2005) - Bec de corbin - Horseman's pick - Lucerne hammer - Tuchman, Barbara (1979).

Post by The Electrocuter on Mar 14, 2019 19:11:00 GMT -5 First off, I'd like to say that I've been really enjoying STF. Been binge playing it for the last week, much to the detriment of my ST4X story ( ). For most of my ship combat ops, I launch salvos of missiles and torps, then rush in for a combined rail, lance, plasma cannon, and missile barrage, before closing in for the kill on the decks of the enemy. I have an A5 armory in my Sword Battlecruiser (tentative name: Fuel Chugger ), but I can afford to spend some hard earned credits on even shinier crew weapons for my CC squad. Looking at the level 7 choices for crew armament, I'm noticing that some of the lower level weapons have slightly higher damage, while having lower piercing (L.5 Mensin Sniper 69-110DMG, 98% piercing vs L.7 Dragon Sniper 77-124DMG, 90% piercing). How do those stats work with each other during crew combat, and which is more important? Also, how does the higher level armor bought from contacts compare to armor from the A5 armory? Post by The Electrocuter on Mar 15, 2019 1:08:42 GMT -5 Looking at the stats for the armor, the A5 armor (Interweave) and the level 6 contact armor (Meshplate weave) seem to be fairly similar, except the A5 armor has 10 more ballistic soak and 20 less impact soak compared to the contact armor. While the similar level contact armor had higher deflection compared to their A5 counterpart, in exchange for a soak reduction, the two above have the same deflection value. Is this intentional? The Electrocuter - yes, that is all looking correct to me. While Weapon Locker armor have a clear and direct progression (better at every level), Contact weapon and armor often offer specialty focused variations that may or may not fit your build. Upgrading to A5 is no-brainer, should not need to think about it. You should evaluate the stats of any Contact weapon or armor and decide if it is what you want.

The Primary Rules of Firearms to Consider As you aspire to have a gun either for shooting or hunting reasons; it is good to be informed on the proper ways of handling it. To own a firearm is something dangerous, especially if one fails to follow the rules put in place. For any issue gunsmith near me, can be consulted. This is one of the ways of limiting the number of accidents that occur and most of them are fatal. Remember the safety of every person around you including yourself is at risk if you do not consider this rule. A gunsmith near me can help, select the best type of gun for you, based on the experience and training of handling guns. Also, a gunsmith near me, is always available when there is a need for repair services of the gun. Since handling guns can cause more harm, to anyone, here are the rule of firearm safety to consider. Firearm is always loaded. Don’t ever try to think that your arm is unloaded since it can be the genesis of the big problem. The guns should not be pointed at anyone, since one can easily pull a trigger. It is of greater benefit if you don’t associate with inexperienced people while holding a gun. If you are facing challenges, don’t include anybody else apart from the gunsmith near me. The beginners, are always the victims, since most of them will not unload the gun. Somebody can load your gun without your knowledge, thus as a rule all guns are loaded. Through the gunsmith near me, such messages can be passed well. Avoid pointing the firearm to anything apart from the one of interest. This is the most fundamental element that every person is taught before acquiring any firearm, including the gunsmith near me. As long as you are not in the position of shooting the trigger should be free from any finger. You can prevent any shooting risk if you consider such a rule. Try as much as possible to place your finger along the frame and this should be done naturally. However, you must learn it, through training and the gunsmith near me can help, in case of an issue during the training process. In case of hunting, only point a gun at the specified animal. always ensure the gun is not pointing at the homes of the people, or pets. Before shooting, ensure the path behind the target is clear. This is the most important thing since the bullet can find its way through the target and cause some major impacts. The error can occur during the process and mostly for the ones doing it for the first time. You can miss the target, and hence what lies behind the target will be at great risk.

North Korea news has gained fast headway in its weapons program, which it claims is important to shield itself against a potential US intrusion. Pyongyang began 2021 off with a bang, revealing what state media has portrayed as “the world’s most impressive weapon”. The new submarine-dispatched ballistic rocket was dispatched at a procession regulated by pioneer Kim Jong-un – only days before the introduction of US President Joe Biden. Mr. Kim has likewise swore to grow North Korea’s atomic munititions stockpile and military potential, illustrating a rundown of wanted weapons. This is what we think about North Korea’s rocket and atomic program and its military powers. Rockets that can arrive at the US All through 2017, North Korea tried a few rockets exhibiting the fast advances of its military innovation. putting US army installations on the Pacific island of Guam well inside striking distance. Afterward, the Hwasong-14 showed significantly more prominent potential, for certain examinations proposing it could go similar to 10,000km whenever terminated on a greatest direction. This would have given Pyongyang its first really intercontinental ballistic rocket, equipped for arriving at New York. times higher than the International Space Station, North Korea news. Whenever terminated on a more traditional “compliment” direction, the rocket could have a greatest scope of some 13,000km, placing the entirety of the mainland US in range. In October 2020, North Korea disclosed its new ballistic rocket. It has not yet been named or tried. Like the Hwasong-15, it is a two-stage fluid fuelled rocket, however with a more noteworthy length and breadth. It could take into consideration different warheads. The enormous weapon is accepted to have the option to convey an atomic warhead anyplace in the US, and its size had astounded even prepared examiners when it was put on an act a year ago. Only months after the fact, in January 2021, North Korea revealed another sort of submarine-dispatched ballistic rocket at a military grandstand, which is proclaimed to be “the world’s most impressive weapon”. The uncovering of the new rockets had all the earmarks of being a message to the Biden organization of the North’s developing military ability, say specialists. At that point in March, it completed a dispatch of what it called “another sort strategic guided shot”. North Korea said the new rocket had the option to convey a payload of 2.5 tons, which would make it equipped for conveying an atomic warhead. variation” of a formerly tried rocket, the KN-23. On 3 September 2017 North Korea led by a wide margin its biggest atomic test to date, at its Punggye-ri test site. Appraisals of the gadget’s hazardous force, or yield, gone from 100-370 kilotons. A yield of 100 kilotons would make the test multiple times more remarkable than the bomb dropped on Hiroshima in 1945. North Korea guaranteed this test was its first nuclear weapon – the most powerful type of atomic blast where a nuclear explosion is supported by an auxiliary combination cycle to deliver a far greater impact. American military knowledge accepts that North Korea has effectively scaled down an atomic warhead to fit inside a rocket. Millions of soldiers in North Korea news North Korea has one of the biggest standing militaries on the planet – with more than 1,000,000 fighters and assessed stores of nearly 5,000,000. Quite a bit of its gear is old and out of date, however its ordinary powers could in any case perpetrate enormous harm on South Korea in case of war. They might actually abuse a semi-secret organization of 20-25 huge passages which range the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) – the boundary region – arising behind South Korean and American forward lines. A further danger comes from a huge number of North Korean gunnery pieces and rocket launchers conveyed along the boundary. Their capability could annihilate South Korea, including the capital Seoul, which a good ways off of under 60km, is well inside range. In 2012 the South Korean government evaluated that North Korea could have somewhere in the range of 2,500 and 5,000 tons of substance weapons, possibly probably the biggest reserve on Earth. - What do we think about N Korea’s atomic site? - What have North Korea’s atomic tests accomplished? American forces in South Korea and the wider region American powers in South Korea and the more extensive district Washington has additionally introduced its dubious THAAD rocket safeguard framework in South Korea, In the more extensive area, Japan has more US powers than some other country with somewhere in the range of 50,000 conveyed, the lion’s share being maritime staff. It likewise has a plane-carrying warship situated in Japan. There are likewise huge US powers on the US Pacific island of Guam, which is now and again depicted as a “perpetual plane carrying warship”. North Korea has recently taken steps to fire rockets at the waters around Guam.

Air Cannon - Mk II H.E.A.T. has finally gone public with the latest generation of t-shirt firing air cannons with the release of the its firstMk II model. The second generation cannon has received several upgrades and improvements, thanks to lessons learned with the Mk I models; the most noteworthy being the electronic trigger with a lit arming switch safety system. Other improvements included a larger reservoir (to better fill the lengthened 3" barrel), an increased pressure rating (120psi), higher quality base paint, and an integrated air pressure gauge to serve as a secondary precaution when filling and primary measure of leak-down over time when charged. The interchangeable barrel system from the Mk I models was kept for this first, behemoth of a Mk II. At 100psi, the cannon can easily fire a t-shirt 40+ yards. Range at the designed max of 120psi has not yet been tested. The first Mk II cannon - shown here in a fantastic, new "Hoth Camo" paint scheme and measuring almost 5 feet in length See Video of the Mk II test fire HERE. he Mk II Compact Has Arrived The Mk I air cannons were a great success and good fun. The initial Mk II was a remarkable step forward in design and a solid performer; but it was massive at almost 5 feet long. The H.E.A.T.crew responsible for the armaments' design and construction decided that something a little more manageable (particularly for indoor venues) was in order. The result - a 28" Mk II Compact. The new cannon utilizes a similar arming/firing set-up to its bigger, older brother. The barrel and reservoir were snubbed, and the interchangeable barrel option was omitted to further minimize length. To further progress the cannon project design, the Mk II Compact is the first to sport a revolutionary new handle design to remedy a design flaw present in previous models. This cannon was commissioned by the Bryant Middle School H.E.A.T. chapter. They requested that a vivid blue be added to the Mk II "Hoth Camo" paint scheme... We think it looks pretty awesome.

It Is Not Easy To Be A Man After Travelling To The Future Chapter 468 Very soon, the two mecha had pulled the required distance away for long-range combat. The seemingly relaxed atmosphere at the start vanished completely at this moment. Everyone sat up straight in their seats, waiting for the first attack from either one of the combatants! Zhu Jing abruptly raised the M9 long-range projectile sniper rifle in his hands this was an extremely special long-range sniper rifle which was capable of instant kills. The weight of the gun was three times heavier than that of the average long-range long-barrelled beam gun. Any long-range mecha operator with a slightly weaker physique would not be able to use this heavy fellow. The M9 long-range projectile sniper rifle’s bullets were made with concentratedNg gunpowder1, and its firing mode was set to a double-shot setting. As long as the bullets managed to make contact with a mecha, they would explode violently. The shock wave generated by the explosion of just one bullet was enough to destroy the defence of a beam shield. The double-shot setting was just so the mecha master using an M9 long-range projectile sniper rifle could achieve a one-trigger kill. Of course, at present, the bullets in the M9 long-range projectile sniper rifle had already been substituted with extremely low power hollow bullets which would not cause any dangerous damage. However, as soon as the opponent was successfully hit, the referee would not hesitate to declare an end to the match. Ever since Zhu Jing had advanced to special-class operator, when he had chosen the long-range weapon he wanted to specialize in, he had chosen this extraordinarily heavy and powerful M9 long-range projectile sniper rifle which also had an extraordinarily powerful recoil as well. He had dared to select this weapon because he was confident that his built physique would be able to fully withstand the M9 sniper rifle’s kickback when it was fired. In reality, Zhu Jing’s body was extremely strong and tough. When he had first been assessed, his physical constitution had been graded as an S+, so he was naturally suited to be a close-combat operator. In the end, when it had come time for him to decide his future path, he had chosen long-range mecha. His instructor had been unable to understand until he had chosen the M9 long-range projectile sniper rifle as his specialized long-range weapon. Only then did his mentor discover that Zhu Jing had not wasted his exceptional physical constitution. Instead, with this constitution, he was better able to bring out the potential power of the M9 long-range projectile sniper rifle. Under the careful guidance of his mentor, Zhu Jing had gained a profound understanding of how to use the M9 long-range projectile sniper rifle. His mentor had once asserted that as long as he continued to work hard, Zhu Jing could certainly become the most outstanding assassin in future! And right now, this future assassin had finally spread his fangs in an attempt to devour his opponent in his first fight … “Boss, this is an M9 long-range projectile sniper rifle!” At this point, Ling Lan’s initially silent and seemingly standardized mecha A.I. suddenly spoke with Little Four’s voice. Ling Lan had just lifted her long-range long-barrelled beam gun to take aim Little Four’s sudden interjection caused her actions to slow for a moment, and so her gun did not stop at the most optimum position. Ling Lan quickly rushed to remedy that, even as she asked, “Little Four, why are you here?” “It’s an M9 long-range projectile sniper rifle!” Little Four had no mind to answer Ling Lan’s question right now, merely repeating his warning shout at her. Little Four could not be blamed for worrying that was a horrifying sniper rifle notorious within the Federation for its ability to instantly destroy mecha. “I know!” replied Ling Lan calmly. “One shot can kill us!” Little Four was very nervous, afraid that his boss did not know how scary that weapon was. One moment of distraction and it would be ‘Game Over’. “I know!” Ling Lan repeated calmly once again. Ling Lan’s composed behaviour calmed Little Four down. “Boss, you’re not nervous?” “Nervous about what? The Grand Mecha Tournament would never allow an overly powerful weapon to appear on the field. Since this weapon is here, then the bullets inside must have already been adapted …” explained Ling Lan. “Oh, that’s true!” Little Four was enlightened. “Besides, even if it’s real, so what? You should know that we’ll one day go onto a real battlefield. There, there’ll be all kinds of things, quite a number of them even more frightening than this weapon. If we’re afraid now, then how can we survive the battlefields then?” asked Ling Lan. “So, we’re fortunate to be able to encounter these kinds of weapons beforehand!” As Ling Lan spoke, she continued moving her fingers unhurriedly, carrying out a whole series of operations. She adjusted her long-range beam gun to aim straight for the opponent … In this match, Ling Lan decided that she would listen to her dad and restrain herself a little. She no longer took the initiative, choosing to defend passively instead even though this mode was unlike her usual personality. When Little Four heard what Ling Lan said, he instantly fell silent. At this time, the A.I. began reporting the numerical data after Ling Lan had applied her adjustments. The moment Ling Lan heard the mechanical tone of voice, she knew Little Four was not in control of the mecha anymore. Ling Lan did not stop to worry about Little Four sudden appearance and disappearance, and this nonchalance was also what caused her to overlook the changes in Little Four. Little Four was acting less and less like an intelligence entity, and more like a real growing child. He was now showing signs of possessing the seven emotions and six desires, as well as personal thinking and judgment … Zhu Jing spent some time calibrating his M9 long-range projectile sniper rifle this was yet another flaw of this weapon other than its clunky weight. The time needed to calibrate it was longer than that which was required for the average long-range gun. This also proved that the M9 long-range projectile sniper rifle was more suited for covert assassinations and not open upfront battle. “That Ling Lan of the First Men’s Military Academy is just waiting for the Jingan mecha operator to attack. Isn’t he being too overconfident?” The audience saw that the already prepared Ling Lan was not taking the initiative to shoot, instead choosing to wait patiently for her opponent. This rather contrary behaviour made the audience break out into murmured discussion. Ling Xiao helplessly put his palm to his forehead, feeling that things were not good. Wasn’t his daughter holding back too much now? Right at that moment, the situation abruptly changed. Just when everyone believed that Ling Lan would wait for her opponent to start shooting first, Ling Lan, who had been still all this while, suddenly pulled her trigger. A beam of light shot straight at the opponent it was Ling Lan’s memorable fixed-point shooting. This attack came on too suddenly everyone looked towards Zhu Jing, waiting to see what he would do. Would he be hit or would he dodge the attack successfully? Zhu Jing’s mecha suddenly shifted to one side, instantly drawing out a stack of afterimages! “Light-and-Shadow Skim!” Those in the audience who knew their mecha techniques could not help but cry out. This was an advanced technique that only advanced mecha warriors could learn. It and Irregular Dash were the two top-tier footwork operators below ace level could learn. The evolved version of Irregular Dash was the Irregular Flicker that only ace operators could learn, and likewise, the Light-and-Shadow Skim also had its ultimate version Unshakable Shadow. This version was said to have even higher requirements one had to at least be at elite ace realm to learn it. In short, this Light-and-Shadow Skim was an extremely remarkable evasion footwork. Zhu Jing performed it perfectly, allowing him to easily escape Ling Lan’s shot. Zhu Jing did not just end things by defending. When his mecha’s figure was finally restored from the countless stacked shadow images, he pulled the trigger on his gun. “Bang, bang!” Two shots rang out. Due to the M9 projectile sniper rifle’s powerful recoil, Zhu Jing’s mecha was sent tilting back beyond his control, and the muzzle of his gun was also driven up a little as well. The entire audience held their breath as they stared at the field, wanting to know the outcome of this shot. Had the shots hit the opponent, or had they been dodged? Ling Lan calmly observed the opponent’s movements, and at the very instant the opponent made his shot, Ling Lan once again entered that mysterious world where she could see the two bullets suddenly slow down, allowing her to clearly see their trajectories … “Right there!” Ling Lan saw a way to handle them, a chance to evade. She quickly pulled her trigger! A “bang” rang out, and Ling Lan returned from the mysterious world back to reality. The bullets regained their regular speed, and at the same time, the beam gun in Ling Lan’s hands fired a dazzling beam of light, which met one of the bullets head-on. Amidst the energy of the beam, the bullet melted swiftly, finally ending up as a drop of liquid metal to dissipate into the air without a trace. Meanwhile, the other bullet brushed past the range of the beam shot to fly straight at the chest area of Ling Lan’s mecha. Ling Lan’s eyes were as calm as water. Her fingers danced, becoming countless blooming flowers on her control panel. Under her control, her mecha swiftly dragged out a streak of residual shadow towards the right … “Boom!” A loud explosion rang out as Ling Lan successfully evaded that bullet. The bullet had exploded after striking the earth below, sending up a large spray of dust and dirt, blocking the audience’s view for a time. When the dust settled, the audience could see that where Ling Lan had been standing initially, there was now a deep pit. It was obvious how powerful the bullet was still despite having been adapted for the tournament. “After testing, that explosive power reaches up to 30 TNT. If we’re hit by two consecutive bullets, the mecha’s beam shield will be on the brink of collapse.” Little Four’s voice rang out from the A.I. once more. “Understood!” Ling Lan replied calmly. “Boss, that explosion has caused your points to be deducted by 20.” Little Four immediately alerted Ling Lan after secretly stealing the latest intel on the referee panel’s ruling. Ling Lan was at first taken aback, but she immediately realised the reason for this penalty. The bullets had been adapted to lower their power, so her mecha had not been affected by the explosion at all. However, in reality, the bullets would generate an explosive force of 60-70 TNT, so her mecha had not dodged far enough to escape the blast radius. If the explosion was judged according to real-world standards, her mecha would definitely have been damaged severely. Even if the defensive power of her mecha’s beam shield was not destroyed, it would still probably be on the verge of collapsing. Thus, the referees all agreed that that bullet of Zhu Jing was considered an effective attack, so it was reasonable for Ling Lan to have points deducted for it. She had forgotten to take that into account. Ling Lan felt somewhat regretful she had initially planned to win the match without losing any points at all, but now it looked like there was no hope of that anymore. She once again lifted her beam gun and aimed at Zhu Jing. Although Zhu Jing’s gun was n-times more powerful than her own, the time needed for her to calibrate her gun was significantly shorter. This was her advantage. Ling Lan had taken so long to prep her first shot only because she was trying to show restraint, and at the same time, she had also thought to catch Zhu Jing off guard with an unexpected attack. That was why she had waited so long, only to shoot right before the opponent himself was about to shoot. However, the outcome was not perfect. The opponent was someone who was well-prepared even as he had been calibrating his gun, he had been keeping his guard up against her. In that case, Ling Lan might as well dispense with these pointless psychological tactics. She had decided to attack with full force!

We want to talk about range finders, a few of the terms and the principles you need to understand for a range finder to be your useful tool out in the Hills, and know that if you want to get the deal of the century. If you want to learn more about rilfes and and little pulled optics or even just a rangefinder, go to rangefindertoday.com, it’s cool blog for beginners. One most important about how to make sure your rangefinder is aligned properly so it’s giving you the correct reading, you can see that on their website, but today we just want to talk about what these numbers mean and the trigonometry of shooting uphill and downhill. Each of them have a little bit different the 1300 and the 1600 tell you at those distances that’s how far out this should give you a reading if you have a good target. So that the pulse of the laser can go out and be reflected back. When you’re shooting steep uphill steep downhill angles are just some things you need to know and I want to quickly touch on those. So we have this thing called line of sight or LOS as it’s commonly called. That is the distance between where you are at and where the target is line of sight. If you’re into geometry and trigonometry is the hypotenuse of the right triangle, this longer distance of line of sight will often throw you for a loop. The reason being is gravity only works on the horizontal distance, so what these angle compensating rangefinders are meant to do to give you your true ballistic range. In other words it does the trigonometry where it measures. You’re at the angle and the line of sight is out there, we can use trigonometry to quickly and immediately tell you what your true ballistic range is. In other words, what is the horizontal distance upon which gravity will apply against your bullet. That takes a lot of the guesswork out. Remember in the old days, dad or whoever would say: when you’re shooting uphill or you’re shooting downhill, you need to hold low or you’ll shoot right over the top of it and in your mind you’re like well why is that? Because it might look like it’s 300 yards out to there but gravity’s only working 200 yards, because it’s such a steep angle, you hold for 200 yards, you set your dial if you have dials like the c.d.s system, you will set your dial for the true ballistic range not the line of sight So when it comes to range finders, the two key terms are LOS (line of sight) and TBR (true ballistic range) and whether it’s archery, whether it’s a rifle, you want to know your true ballistic range. So there you have it folks TBR leupold TBR true ballistic range angle compensating ranges finders take care of all that guesswork take care of all the headache for you.

My photographer, Steve, squints through a computerized scope squatting atop a big hunting rifle. We're outdoors at a range just north of Austin, Texas, and the wind is blowing like crazy—enough so that we're having to dial in more and more wind adjustment on the rifle's computer. The spotter and I monitor Steve's sight through an iPad linked to the rifle via Wi-Fi, and we can see exactly what he's seeing through the scope. Steve lines up on his target downrange—a gently swinging metal plate with a fluorescent orange circle painted at its center—and depresses a button to illuminate it with the rifle's laser. "Good tag?" he asks, softly. "Good tag," replies the spotter, watching on the iPad. He leaves the device in my hands and looks through a conventional high-powered spotting scope at the target Steve has selected. The wind stops momentarily. "Send it," he calls out. Steve pulls the trigger, but nothing immediately happens. On the iPad's screen, his reticle shifts from blue to red and drifts toward the marked target. Even though I'm expecting it, the rifle's report is startling when it fires. A second later, the spotter calls out, "That's a hit!" Steve has just delivered a .338 Lapua Magnum round directly onto a target about the size of a big dinner plate at a range of 1,008 yards—that's ten football fields, or a tick over 0.91 kilometers. It's his very first try. He has never fired a rifle before today. Through the shooting glass Of course, Steve isn't some kind of super mutant marksman—he had a bit of help. We were plinking targets with $17,000+ Linux-powered hunting rifles, made by a small Austin company calledTrackingPoint. Earlier this year, Ars reported on TrackingPoint's "Precision Guided Firearm" at CES, where the 59-employee company was giving the press a sneak-peak at their product before its official introduction at the Shot Show convention a week later. The Precision Guided Firearm is a "whole widget" type of thing—it's not just a fancy scope on top of a fancy gun, but rather a tightly integrated system coupling a rifle, an ARM-powered scope running a modified version of Angström Linux (with some custom BitBake recipes and kernel modules to support the rifle's proprietary hardware), and a linked trigger mechanism whose weighting is controlled by the scope. TrackingPoint actually makes three different Precision Guided Firearms, two of which fire .300 Winchester Magnum rounds and one of which fires a larger .338 Lapua Magnum cartridge. The weapons themselves are crafted by Surgeon Rifles, and TrackingPoint adds the scope and trigger mechanism to the rifle and then sells it as a package. Since launch, TrackingPoint's sales have been very brisk: the company has nearly sold out of their entire allotment of PGFs for all of 2013. You might be led to think that the lighter XS3 is the most popular of the three rifles, but TrackingPoint VP Bret Boyd actually says that they've sold more of the .338 LM XS1 than any of the other models. This makes sense: the XS1 has the longest effective range of the three PGFs, up to 1200 yards, and the type of customer able to purchase TrackingPoint's high-dollar products is also the type of customer who likely does a whole lot of hunting, at home and abroad. The XS1's versatility is likely worth more to that kind of buyer than its price difference (about $22,000, compared to the XS3's $17,000). What's it like to shoot? I've fired a small number of bolt-action rifles before, but nothing as big as the .338 LM-chambered XS1, on which we spent most of our range time. The oddest thing about firing TrackingPoint's rifles, the thing wildly different from a standard hunting rifle, is the trigger mechanism. The rifle's "Tag-Track-Xact" technology means that there is a delay between when you pull the trigger and when the rifle fires—sometimes several seconds of delay, depending on how steady your aim is. This disconnect between trigger pull and firing can be weirdly disconcerting. All of the interaction with the rifle's computer is done through the computerized tracking scope, which displays an image of the world in front of the rifle, overlaid with data. It's reminiscent of a fighter jet heads-up display. Through the tracking scope, you locate the thing you want to shoot, whether it's a metal plate like we were hitting on the range, a game animal, a tree, or whatever. You place the center reticle over the target and depress the red tagging button just forward of the trigger, which causes the tracking scope's range finder to briefly illuminate the target. The range finder is a powerful laser, rated at 75W and pulsed for an average power of 1mW, which measures the distance to the target in yards (1 yard is 0.9 meters, for metric readers) and displays that number in the upper left side of the scope's field of view. Once "tagged," the target gains a red pip. The scope image also reorients itself in a move that can be confusing the first few times it happens. The reorientation is to take into account the "drop" of the shot. As demonstrated by MythBusters, a bullet is affected by gravity as it flies, losing height at the same rate as it would if dropped directly out of your hand. At 1000 yards, the bullet loses about 20 feet (6 meters) of height, and so when you tag a target with the tracking scope, the field of view immediately shifts down, by an amount proportional to the target's distance. This is so that the center of the scope accurately shows you where the round will go, rather than some point far above it. Someone firing a long-range shot with a traditional scope must make the same adjustment manually, but here the ballistic computer takes care of it. Once the target is tagged, the laser ceases illuminating and the embedded system's image recognition routines take over. If the target is a game animal, the scope will track the animal's movement in the field of view, and the red pip will remain stuck to the point on the target where it was originally tagged. This level of precision obviously helps out at the range, but it also enables a hunter to more ethically harvest animals by precisely targeting specific areas—the tagging mechanism greatly simplifies the process of killing the game animal with a single shot, rather than wounding it and inflicting unnecessary suffering. After the target has been tagged, the scope's reticle changes to a large blue "X," and the weapon can be fired. To actually send a round downrange to the target, you depress the weapon's trigger. This doesn't cause the weapon to immediately fire, though—the reticle turns red, and while keeping the trigger held down, you must align the reticle with the tagged pip. Once the pip and the reticle coincide, the weapon fires. Yeah, but how does it feel? The hefty Surgeon rifle feels like a quality firearm should—it's solid and its bolt operates with a reassuring ka-chunk-ka-chunk. Like most firearms, it works best when operated authoritatively—you firmly seat the magazine and firmly close the bolt to put the weapon in battery. We spent less time on the .300 Winchester Magnum-chambered XS2 and XS3 rifles, but the operational feelings were similar. The XS2 and XS1 are very close in appearance, with the main visual difference being the barrel length. The XS3 is smaller, with a more traditional rifle stock grip instead of a pistol-style grip. All of the rifles come with forward bipods attached so that they can be fired from a supported position without requiring sandbags or any other kind of brace. Just about everyone who fires a pistol or rifle goes through an adjustment period where they anticipate and overcompensate for the recoil the weapon produces when fired. The overcompensation is an almost unconscious adaptation that the body makes. Overcoming it is part of learning to shoot. Firearms are loud, and when they are fired they jump back in your grip. So, less-experienced shooters cope with the recoil by bringing the weapon's barrel downward against the anticipated force—often before they've even fired the weapon. The only way to learn to cope effectively with a weapon's recoil is to practice, and the adjustment period lasts a different length of time for every person. There are things you can do to help (I've had instructors in the past recommended balancing a penny on your weapon's front sight and dry-firing until the penny doesn't move as a way to teach a steady trigger pull), but one way or another it's something everyone has to deal with. TrackingPoint's rifles, though, remove overcompensation from the equation by totally segregating the act of pulling the trigger from the weapon's firing. Also no longer necessary is holding your breath to avoid disturbing your sight picture or timing your shot to your heartbeat or other long-range tricks—the rifle's computer picks the most optimal time to fire. You pull and hold your trigger, and then carefully align the reticle with the floating red pip. There is a side effect, though. Rather than overcompensating for trigger pull, I found myself shying back from the rifle after I'd pulled the trigger. One issue with the preproduction PGFs we were shooting was that there was no eyepiece on the scope, and so you needed to manually judge how far back to position your eye so that the scope didn't bash you in the face when the rifle was fired (something that TrackingPoint repeatedly told us will be remedied on the production PGFs). But more than just not wanting a black eye, the removal of the instant feedback between trigger pull and firing gets rid of one type of anticipatory cringing and introduces another. At long-range, you need to hold the reticle over the pip for a moment before the computer fires, because the tiny perturbations in the rifle's aim introduced by your muscles' attempts at not moving translate into very large deviations at the end of a thousand yards. That means that there's sometimes a multi-second period where you're squeezing the trigger and braced for the rifle's kick. Every time the PGF fired, it was a surprise. Sometimes, my alignment would be great and it would send a round almost before I was ready (including on one instance where I was going to provide a countdown for my cameraman and managed to fire the rifle before I even got to "one"). Other times, especially at range, it would take two, three, four seconds of apparent dead-on coincidence between pip and reticle before the rifle would fire. A lot of the delay is because what the user sees in the sight picture isn't always exactly what the rifle's computer is looking at. The rifle gets its view of the world through the computerized tracking scope, which looks out through a 35x fixed-magnification optic focused onto a digital imaging sensor with a vertical resolution of about 3600 pixels. Behind the optic assembly is an entire ARM-powered embedded system that knows everything there is to know about the characteristics of the rifle and its ammunition. The tracking scope also contains instrumentation to make it aware of ambient conditions, including temperature and humidity and atmospheric pressure, the incline and cant of the weapon, and its compass heading. The only thing you need to manually enter is the wind speed and direction, using a control on the top of the scope. Though the actual optical assembly is fixed at 35x magnification, the image displayed on the viewfinder is downsampled to 640x480 and can be digitally zoomed out to an equivalent of 6x magnification. It gives the weapon's user a wide field of view when selecting targets. Not quite a robo-gun Even though you tag and track targets and the rifle picks the exact moment to release the round, TrackingPoint's Bret Boyd is quick to point out that the PGF systems don't fire "by themselves." The weapon's user is in full control of when the rifle fires and can safe the weapon at any time by releasing the trigger. An autonomously firing weapon simply isn't something that the US Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms would allow to be sold. Rather than being connected mechanically to the firing pin, the "guided trigger assembly" includes a solenoid which actuates the firing mechanism. The solenoid releases only when the trigger is pulledand when the tagging pip coincides with the scope's reticle. According to TrackingPoint, the rifle's computer "dynamically inflates and deflates" the trigger weighting required to trip the solenoid and cause the weapon to fire. This sounds a little odd and might give the impression that the trigger actually moves under your finger as its weighting is varied. But this is incorrect: the trigger does not move on its own. You pull it and hold it to signal to the rifle that you want it to fire. Prior to lining up the reticle and tagged pip, the trigger's effective pull weight is set to higher than the force you're exerting on it. When the shot is lined up and the rifle's computer calculates it's the optimal moment for the weapon to be fired, the trigger's effective weight drops below the amount of force you're exerting and the weapon fires. TrackingPoint describes it as a "blocking" function, rather than a "self-firing" function. It's a somewhat thin line to walk, but it's compliant with the law. In practice, the differentiation is moot. Razors and razor blades The PGF is able to function at range because the system is preprogrammed with the ballistic characteristics of not just the three types of rifles, but also of the ammunition. TrackingPoint has partnered with ammunition manufacturer Barnes Bullets to turn out ammunition with very specific characteristics, effectively selling both the razor and the razor blades. Our original coverage of TrackingPoint from CES drew lots of questions about reloading or hand loading—that is, assembling one's own ammunition from casings and powder and bullets—so I brought this up with Bret Boyd while we were at the range. "Gun people are very passionate, and if you're into reloading and hand loading you're in the one percentile." We talked between shots, wearing identical Peltor electronic ear protectors. "The problem with hand loading is that you just have inconsistent results. Some people do it very good, and some don't. What I really want to avoid is the situation where someone says, 'Look, your gun doesn't work. I'm missing, and it's your fault.' And the real issue is, well, you're missing because you screwed up the ammunition—you have it loaded too hot and it's firing too high. But you're never going to believe me!" He laughed. "I'm really not trying to make a ton of money on ammo, but I want to control the outcome and I want people to have a good experience." The cost of TrackingPoint's ammunition is significant, but it's not out of range for the types of rounds being fired. The typical price range for 300 grain .338 Lapua Magnum ammunition—the type of round fired by the high-end XS1 rifle—is between $5-7 dollars per cartridge. "We'll be in that band, near the top," said Boyd. "We definitely won't be like twice the band or anything." At least for now, ammunition will have to be ordered through TrackingPoint, though Boyd would like to eventually have their branded ammunition available on the shelf in sporting goods shops in the future.

New defense drone reportedly caught 16 Hellfire missiles in mid-flight General Atomics, based in Poway, Calif., Is currently testing the prototype of a drone with firepower unmatched by any other drone currently in use by the U.S. military, according to a report from Breaking Defense. Officially, the company declined to comment on the report. Drones quickly shifted from their reconnaissance role to real engagement with opposing forces. The U.S. military has used a large number as well as a variety of drones in its operations over the past decade and has worked with its industrial partners to develop its vision for drones and their capabilities. Developing a drone without any clear vision for its adoption by the military is probably a high-risk strategy, but General Atomics seems to have a simple plan. Deliver more firepower than any drone before and there is a demand in the market. The report claims the new drone can carry up to 16 Hellfire missiles in a single flight. Most drones currently in use use Hellfire air-to-surface missiles. However, the number 16 represents four times the firepower that the MQ-9 Reaper can carry. The MQ-9 Reaper, also manufactured by General Atomics, of which nearly 200 were built, has a range of over 1,850 km (1,000 miles) and is also in use by Homeland Security and other countries across the world. The design of the new drone, however, comes from the MQ-1C Gray Eagle which sacrifices altitude capability to deliver long endurance. The Gray Eagle can carry up to eight air-to-air Stinger missiles, and with the US Air Force looking to replace some drones for lack of aerial combat capabilities, General Atomics’ new drone could fit right in. Packing more firepower also has its drawbacks. With each Hellfire weighing 100 pounds (45 kg), carrying 16 is almost half its own weight for any adaptation of the Gray Eagle. The current Gray Eagle has a payload capacity of just 800 pounds (360 kg), so doubling its payload capacity is likely to have an effect on its endurance while also reducing its payload carrying capabilities for other missions or cooling systems for its sensors. . Although the report does not provide any details on the engine of this drone, it does claim that the drone has larger wings. This could indicate that the engine is unlikely to experience a major upgrade. The automated landing and take-off feature mentioned in the report is likely an attempt to reduce the decision burden on the UAV pilot. The drone would need less than 800 feet (244 m) to take off and land, meaning it could also be adapted for use by the Navy or even the military in rough terrain. With the ability to launch the drone from a site closer to combat, General Atomics is probably not too concerned about the drop in stamina due to the increased payload.

U.S. M2 60mm Mortar Historical Use and Operation (prop rent only not for sale) This weapon was used throughout World War II by the U.S. Army and U.S. Marine Corps. It saw service again in the Korean War and into Vietnam. Each mortar shell had a screw-on cap in its base. Inside the hollow in the tail, it contained a 20-gauge M5A1 Ignition Cartridge. This was a paper shotgun shell filled with ballistite powder. The mortar had a firing pin in the bottom of the tube. When the shell was dropped down the tube, the firing pin struck the Ignition Cartridge in the shell’s tail, detonating it. When the cartridge detonated, the explosive gases exited the base of the shell through two bleed holes. This propelled the shell out of the tube in an arc. Unassisted, the mortar shell had a range of about 200 to 325 yards.

Ordinary orange shooting targets are generally made of what materials Ordinary resin acid (C19H29COOH) and binder (IVGP-20) are used to replace coal tar pitch. Generally, it is necessary to use heavy calcium carbonate du calcium instead of gypsum powder to form composite materials. These composite materials are good materials that can be used to make shooting range targets. Generally speaking, these are composite materials that can be used to replace the world's traditional asphalt gypsum powder to make orange shooting targets. This material can also be used to make flying saucer targets for shooting. The results show that the flying saucer target made of this material not only has better performance indicators than the asphalt saucer target, the broken fragments after the use of this material also have the function of environmental degradation, and are non-toxic, odorless, and odorless during production and use. No stimulation to people, no pollution to the environment.

April 6, 2017 (Tony Cartalucci – LD) – MiG warplanes, artillery, and superior ground forces are vastly more effective than chemical weapons used on any scale, especially in the minute quantities the US has repeatedly accused the Syrian government of using. For a Western population weaned on Hollywood movies, ridiculous TV shows, and an endless torrent of misinformation from their corporate media news outlets, chemical weapons have been portrayed as “weapons of mass destruction,” with even small amounts causing catastrophic devastation. Under the best conditions, however, and with vast amounts of chemical agents, large casualties can be produced. But history has shown that generally, anything less than these circumstances would be a waste of time, resources, and of course in Syria’s case, politically and strategically unjustifiable. A document produced by the US Marine Corps, titled, “Lessons Learned: The Iran-Iraq War” under “Appendix B: Chemical Weapons,” a comprehensive look at the all-out chemical warfare that took place during the devastating 8 year conflict is carefully documented. Several engagements are studied in detail, revealing large amounts of chemical agents deployed mainly to create areas of denial. The effectiveness and lethality of chemical weapons is summarized in the document as follows (emphasis added): Chemical weapons require quite particular weather and geographic conditions for optimum effectiveness. Given the relative nonpersistence of all agents employed during this war, including mustard, there was only a brief window of employment opportunity both daily and seasonally, when the agents could be used. Even though the Iraqis employed mustard agent in the rainy season and also in the marshes, its effectiveness was significantly reduced under those conditions. As the Iraqis learned to their chagrin, mustard is not a good agent to employ in the mountains, unless you own the high ground and your enemy is in the valleys. We are uncertain as to the relative effectiveness of nerve agents since those which were employed are by nature much less persistent than mustard. In order to gain killing concentrations of these agents, predawn attacks are best, conducted in areas where the morning breezes are likely to blow away from friendly positions. Chemical weapons have a low kill ratio. Just as in WWl, during which the ratio of deaths to injured from chemicals was 2-3 percent, that figure appears to be borne out again in this war although reliable data on casualties are very difficult to obtain. We deem it remarkable that the death rate should hold at such a low level even with the introduction of nerve agents. If those rates are correct, as they well may be, this further reinforces the position that we must not think of chemical weapons as “a poor man’s nuclear weapon.” While such weapons have great psychological potential, they are not killers or destroyers on a scale with nuclear or biological weapons. According the US military’s own conclusions, the use of chemical weapons only enhance conventional warfare, but are not suitable for wiping out large swaths of enemy troops. Their effectiveness is such that the Syrian government could not justify their use, thus risk incurring direct Western military intervention. Therefore, for what strategic purpose would the Syrian Arab Army deploy chemical agents on a “small scale?” If the Syrian military already holds the initiative with far more effective conventional weapons, what purpose besides inviting the West to intervene militarily, could using quantities of chemical agents far too small to achieve any tactical gain serve? Conversely, it is self-explanatory as to why the US, NATO, and their Persian Gulf allies would stage a chemical attack to accuse Syria – to open up the doorway to wider and more direct military confrontation, with US troops already conveniently staged in Syria. Wider war is sought against a Damascus poised to achieve victory, endangering the last bastions of foreign-backed terrorists operating in Syrian territory. The US and its allies also seek to frustrate the joint Syrian-Russian-Iranian-Hezbollah coalition that stands poised to reshape the Middle East for the first time in nearly a century based on interests beyond Wall Street, Washington, and London.

There are various things to consider when it comes to purchasing a firearm options, these optics is mounted on the firearm to get a great view of the target which they are planning to shoot at. Most of these firearm optics are portable and also more rugged in nature, the choice of the firearm optics would depend on their purpose if they are long range shooters then they need an optic that can do the job. There are a big number of firearm optics today which are modern and are packed with advanced technologies that makes the optics to be truly reliable and also can be cheaper compared to other optics. A number of the best brands today are constantly developing various types of processes to make way to really provide innovative features and also technologies that are advanced compared to other brands. People must not invest on older optics, there are a large number of possibilities when it comes to choosing the right scope mount for their firearms and they need to match the optics to the kind of shooting they are doing. There are also variable optics but they are usually avoided by people because of the reason that the scope was fogging and are usually expensive and were not up to the standards in terms of firearm optics. With the today’s firearm optics, these types of problems have been eliminated, today the variable scopes are not available in cheaper prices and are also advanced because of technology. They need to pick a firearm optic which can take care of eye relief, this is the distance which gets to be measured from the eye to the back of the Iron sights in order to have a clear view of the target which is placed at a particular distance. They must get to choose a firearm optics that has good magnification and they are usually recognized by the power of their own magnification and also the diameter of the objective lenses of these optics. Parallax is also not truly a large issues for firearm optics but it is important if they have targets which are 25 meters and also closer, this is vital also for long range precision shooting of their own firearms. There are a big number of firearm optics that is in the market and people need to look for the best ones that can help them having to accurately shoot their targets without missing it and get to shoot it in a very accurate manner. People must do their own research online if they want to buy the best firearm optics which can assist them in accurately shoot their own targets.

If you find the waistband holster cumbersome or inadequate for carrying your gun, you should consider getting a shoulder holster. Shoulder holsters are especially the better option if you are looking to conceal carry. They are good at concealing your weapon while you go about your business and make it easy for you to draw your gun when need be. With the waistband holster, rapid hip movement often displaces your gun. This is not the case with shoulder holsters. In addition, shoulder holsters have a variety of designs and sizes. This gives you a chance to choose a design and size that suits your body frame. You can also opt for a horizontal or vertical gun position according to your preference. But the choice of holster affects more than just your comfort and the use of your gun. The durability of your holster, for instance, depends on the material it is made of and the manufacturing process. Soft materials also ensure your gun is protected from scratches as you remove and replace it. For these benefits and more, shoulder holsters benefits are preferred by many conceal carriers. The 1911 gun is one of the most common and versatile conceal guns in the military, law enforcement and for civilian use. As a result, there are several 1911 shoulder holsters available in the market. However, for your comfort and maximum functionality, you need to choose your 1911 shoulder holsters carefully. As a first time buyer, you may be tempted to make your decision based on the looks. But it is more prudent to consider things like your comfort, and the durability of the material. Best 1911 Shoulder Holster Reviews 2018 In this article, we review seven of the best 1911 shoulder holster systems. However, we understand that the suitability of the holster differs from one person to another. Therefore, we also mention a number of things you should consider when choosing the shoulder holster system that is best suited for you. Pick #1. Galco Vertical Shoulder Holster System Designed for maximum functionality, the Galco Vertical Shoulder Holster for 1911 can be used by civilians, law enforcement officers and military officers. Its use in combat has been tried and tested in the Iraq and Afghanistan wars as well as counterterrorism operations. The guns are held in a vertical position facing downwards improving your draw speed. The vertical position is also more ideal for thinner people compared to the horizontal holding position. For added safety, the holster system has a trigger guard to prevent unintentional pressure on the trigger that may cause accidental shooting. To improve on comfort, the Galco Vertical Shoulder Holster System uses a clover harness to connect the straps. Unlike the traditional ring, the clover harness is more comfortable because it does not keep scratching your back. The clover shape also allows you to adjust the four straps independently. This makes it one of the best shoulder holster systems for conceal carry. You can carry a gun on both sides of the holster or a gun on one side and extra magazine on the other side. However if only one side is weighted, the system may be a little unbalanced. To cater for such situations, the system comes with a tie-down to secure the unweighted side on your belt. Pick #2. Galco Jackass Rig Shoulder System for 1911 Another great 1911 shoulder holster system from Galco that can be used by citizens, law enforcement agents and military officers. The Jackass Rig Shoulder System consists of a horizontally positioned holster, a clover harness and an ammo carrier. The horizontal holster position allows you to carry your gun with the muzzle facing behind you. Just like with the vertical holster system, the Jackass Shoulder’s straps can move independently due to the clover harness. The system also comes with a set of screws that you can use to adjust the vertical level of your gun and ammo. This allows you to carry your gun and magazines at a comfortable position depending on your size. This is what makes the jackass rig shoulder system unique from other shoulder holster systems. The holster is made of top quality, durable leather. The inside of the holster is made of brushed suede to protect the gun from scratches as you draw and replace it in the holster. Currently, the holster is only available for right hand draw. Pick #3. UTG 1911 Deluxe Shoulder Holsters Unlike the previous holsters made of leather, the UTG deluxe shoulder holster is made of nylon modelled in stylish designs. It is designed primarily for the 1911 pistol the flexible design can be adjusted to fit other revolvers and pistols in your collection. One of the main strengths of the UTG 1911 Deluxe Shoulder Holster is the comfort of its design. It comes in a universal design that makes it a comfortable product for both left handed and right handed gun owners. The shoulder region is also padded to give you extra comfort especially when you need to carry your gun for extended periods of time. You can adjust the straps to a vertical position that is comfortable for your size and body shape. The holster interior is made of a soft material to protect the exterior of your gun from scratches. The nylon material and innovative design makes the holster flexible, comfortable and inexpensive. However, it is also less durable that the leather shoulder holsters and may need to be replaced quite often. This makes it ideal for holsters users trying out holster designs and those that need to use holsters temporarily. Pick #4. Barsony Concealment Shoulder Holster with Double Mag Pouch Weighing just 11 ounces, the improved Barsony Nylon Gun Concealment Shoulder Holster is a lightweight alternative to the leather shoulder holsters. The holster comes with a full size of 9 mm double magazine pouch. Despite being made of the softer nylon material, its design and stitch stitches are expertly done to increase its durability. The Barsony concealment shoulder holster with double mag pouch prides itself in its flexible design. There are, for instance, optional right hand and left had draws for you to choose from depending on your preference. You can also adjust the harness to suit your body size or height. It also comes with a tie down to secure it on your belt for added functionality. Pick #5. Galco Miami Classic Shoulder System for 1911 Released in the 70s, this is the original classic shoulder holster system. Its design has been imitated design severally by Galco and other holster companies. Like other Galco models, the Miami Classic Shoulder System is made of carefully crafted, durable premium saddle leather. The system includes a holster, ammo carrier, harness, and a set of system screws. It does not come with a tie down but you can purchase it separately to secure it to your belt for improved comfort. You can also purchase other accessories that you feel could improve its functionality. The Miami Classic comes with a horizontal gun position system meaning the gun will point towards your back. Other the 1911, the Galco Miami Classic Shoulder System can be used for other semiautomatic pistols and some models of revolvers. It is currently available for right hand draw only. Pick #6. Linixu Deep Concealment If your main concern is to conceal carry, the Linixu Deep Concealment is the holster for you. The holster system is so efficient that you can use it while wearing a shirt without a jacket. The Linixu Deep Concealment is different from other shoulder holster systems in that it is not made of leather. There are also no provision for you to carry any extra magazines. Another unique feature of the Linixu Deep Concealment is that it does not have the two traditional shoulder straps. Instead, there is only a single shoulder strap that fastens the holster onto your body and a wide, stretchy belt that you fasten on your upper torso. With the traditional shoulder holsters, the gun is suspended under your armpit. The Linixu Deep Concealment, however, holds the gun on your abdomen just in front of your arm. This position of the gun allows the user to move and perform other tasks with much ease. The main drawback of the Linixu Deep Concealment shoulder holster is that the design makes it harder to draw the gun fast. Pick #7. XCH Ambidextrous Shoulder Holster This is one of the most flexible shoulder holsters available. First, as the name indicates, the XCH shoulder holster is designed for use by both right handed and left handed gun users. It can therefore be used for left and left hand draw. The other flexibility of the XCH Ambidextrous Shoulder Holster is that it can be used to carry the gun in the horizontal as well as the vertical carry positions. Also, if you wish to use it as an OWB or IWB holster, you can remove the shoulder straps. The holster, shoulder straps and the removable magazine pouch of the XCH Shoulder Holster are made of leather. It is therefore one of the most durable holsters. In terms of concealing, however, the XCH Ambidextrous Shoulder Holster is not among the best shoulder holsters. The holster can be seen easily and you need to wear a heavy jacket to conceal your gun adequately. A Guide to Choosing The Best Shoulder Holsters In order to choose the shoulder that is best suited for you, consider the following factors: Shoulder holsters made of leather are durable compared nylon and other materials. The best shoulder holsters make it easy for you to draw and use your gun If you are not looking for a holster for short term use, you can compromise on durability and get a cheaper, less-durable holster. 4-> Suitability to your body size The best shoulder holsters can be adjusted vertically to a comfortable position. If you are looking for the best 1911 shoulder holster, you need one that best conceals your gun. For the horizontal holsters, check carefully if the muzzle shows from the back. Today, many manufacturers of shoulder holsters imitate popular brands and sell them cheaper. It is therefore important for you to assess the features of the shoulder holster you want to buy to ensure it is not only of good quality but compatible with your needs. When shopping for a 1911 shoulder holsters, there are some in the market that are specially designed for it. Others, however, can accommodate a variety of revolvers and pistols, 1911 included.

The FX-05 Xiuhcóatl assault rifle is México’s indigenously designed and manufactured assault rifle. It is used exclusively by the Mexican armed forces and national guard. Xiuhcóatl is Náhuatl for turquoise serpent. Náhuatl is an indigenous (Aztec) language spoken in central parts of México. It is estimated that there are about one and a half million Náhuatl speakers today. In the case of the FX-05 assault rifle, Xiuhcóatl is translated into “fire serpant”. The assault rifle was first seen in public on September 16, 2006 during the Mexican Independence Day celebrations. It was carried by members of the elite assault team, the Grupo Aeromóvil de Fuerzas Especiales (GAFE). Manufacturing of the weapon began in 2005 after a design period that lasted about 16 months, according to government records. The Mexican military deployed 65 military engineers on the Xiuhcóatl project as part of a program to reduce the costs modernizing the inventory of troop weapons. The assault rifle was developed by the Dirección General Industrial Militar Mexicana (DGIM), the Mexican military’s manufacturing arm. The Mexican government first proposed making its own weapons during the 2003 national budget allocations. The assault rifle was designed specifically to meet the Mexican requirements of its troops. The designers considered the Mexican arm reach of the typical Mexican soldier. The weapon includes a cold-forged barrel, folding stock and uses an interchangeable magazine with 30 rounds each. A 100-round drum is also available. The ammunition used by Xiuhcóatl is the is the 5.56x45mm NATO round (FMJ SS109). It has a rate of fire of 750 rounds per minute. It is constructed of a carbon-fiber polymer with a corrosion resistant steel action. The rifle comes in dark-green and desert bronze. Since 2006, there is a pending patent (PA/A/2006/007961) application before the Mexican Patent authority for the Xiuhcóatl. According to the Secretaria de Defensa Nacional (SEDENA), the weapon cost $91,304,796.73 Pesos (about $8 million USD at the 2007 exchange rate) to design, including the raw materials, the machinery and the necessary infrastructure according to government documents dated January 31, 2007. The Mexican government explained that it undertook the design of the weapon to “reduce the costs associated in the fabrication of weapons for the military, increase the firepower of the military and give the soldier tactical superiority”. The Mexican government also noted that the North Atlantic Treaty Organization or NATO had adopted, as its second official round, the 5.56x45mm round, the same used by the Mexican assault rifle. A short time after the Mexican military deployed its new weapon in 2006, the German company Heckler & Koch (HK) declared that the Mexican weapon was a pirated copy of the company’s G36. Heckler & Koch had expected to sign a licensing agreement with the Mexican government to manufacture its G36 in México and equip Mexican troops with it. However, the Mexican government determined it was less expensive to design and manufacture their own assault rifle then pay the licensing fees. According to the periodical, La Jornada this accusation resulted in the dismissal of the director of the Mexican military industry directorate, General Alfredo Oropeza Garnica. After a thorough inspection by the German company, Heckler & Koch acknowledged that the Mexican assault rifle was not a pirated copy. SEDENA also declared that there was no pending legal action against General Juan Alfredo Oropeza Garnica, exonerating him. By designing and manufacturing within México, the Mexican armed forces has been reducing the cost of its weapons programs in addition to providing the Mexican military greater autonomy. The Mexican government has said that the Xiuhcóatl costs about $10,000 Pesos to produce, a substantial reduction in the cost to make the HK G36 under license. The Mexican military has the capacity to manufacture 30,000 rifles annually but has only been making 15,000 each year. According to Janes Defense, by 2005, the Mexican military had produced about 44,000 Xiuhcóatls. The Mexican military planned to replace its inventory of about 121,000 HK G3’s rifles by 2018. By 2019, the Secretaria de Defensa Nacional (SEDENA) announced that it had produced 165,000 rifles. There are three versions of the weapon, full-length rifle, a carbine and an urban assault weapon. The length of the barrel is the main difference between the variants. The rifle is ambidextrous. The name, FX-05 is short for Fusil Xiuhcóatl 2005. 1.

The Great Axe is a weapon used for clumping, pulling and stacking enemies, making it easier for groups to AoE damage them. It’s a useful weapon for groups to have during add pulls but you won’t often see it used by a Tank due to the loss of AoE crowd control and debuffs if a Warhammer isn’t used. Great Axes can pull and stack multiple enemies while also applying some debuffs, you’ll lose some of the benefits you gain from a Warhammer but gain additional benefits offered by the Great Axe along with some decent survivability but it’s not a good weapon for bosses and offers less damage than other options too.

Iraqi Army Trading AK-47 for M-16 The Iraqi military is trading in its AK-47s for shiny new M-16s. In a move that could be the most enduring imprint of U.S. influence in the Arab world, American military officials in Baghdad have begun a crash program to outfit the entire Iraqi army with M-16 rifles. The initiative marks a sharp break for a culture steeped in the traditions of the Soviet-era AK-47 Kalashnikov assault rifle, a symbol of revolutionary zeal and third-world simplicity that is ubiquitous among the militaries of the Middle East. “We in the U.S. know that the M-16 is superior to the AK … it’s more durable,” said Army Col. Stephen Scott, who’s in charge of helping the Iraqi army get all the equipment it needs to outfit its forces. “The Iraqis have embraced that … and the fact that it is U.S. manufactured and supplied. They are very big on U.S.-produced [foreign military sales] materials,” he said in an interview with military bloggers this month. So far, the U.S. military has helped the Iraqi army purchase 43,000 rifles – a mix of full-stock M-16A2s and compact M-4 carbines. Another 50,000 rifles are currently on order, and the objective is to outfit the entire Iraqi army with 165,000 American rifles in a one-for-one replacement of the AK-47. “Our goal is to give every Iraqi soldier an M-16A2 or an M-4,” Scott said. “And as the Iraqi army grows, we will adjust.” Scott added the mass of AK-47s from various manufacturers floating through the Iraqi army’s inventory could cause maintenance and reliability problems. Getting both U.S. and Iraqi forces on the same page when it comes to basic weaponry is part of the argument for M-16 outfitting. “I’m also a fan of AKs,” Scott said. “But keep in mind most of these AKs have been sitting around in bunkers or whatnot for 30 or 40 years [and] are in various stages of disrepair.” “Most of the soldiers think they will be just like the Americans, and that is making them very happy,” said Capt. Rafaat Mejal Ahmed, the Iraqi 1st Division weapons and ammunition officer, in a Marine Corps release. “They think the modern technology will make them more powerful.” Interesting. There’s not much doubt that the M-16 is a more accurate weapon, especially compared to decades-old AKs. On the other hand, it’s incredibly hard to keep clean in a desert environment — and much less forgiving of being dirty than that Soviet counterpart. The cultural thing works both ways. On the one hand, it could be seen as a symbol of American imperialism. On the other, it’s also a symbol of a transformation into a more modern military force and a break with the bad old days of Saddam. via Defense Tech UPDATE: Matt Sanchez describes the AK as “a rattling weapon that is inaccurate and clunky” and got mixed reaction when he discussed the change with soldiers in Anbar province.

Oracle IAS, the best coaching institute for UPSC/IAS/PCS preparation in Dehradun brings to you UKPCS Science Chemistry (paper 6). Explosive, is a reactive substance that contains a great amount of potential energy that can produce an explosion if released suddenly, usually accompanied by the production of light, heat, sound, and pressure. The potential energy stored in an explosive material may, for example, be - chemical energy, such as nitroglycerin or grain dust - pressurized gas, such as a gas cylinder or aerosol can - nuclear energy, such as in the fissile isotopes uranium-235 and plutonium-239 In contrast, some materials are merely combustible or flammable if they burn without exploding. The distinction, however, is not razor-sharp. Certain materials—dusts, powders, gasses, or volatile organic liquids—may be simply combustible or flammable under ordinary conditions, but become explosive in specific situations or forms, such as dispersed airborne clouds, or confinement or sudden release. - A primary explosive is an explosive that is extremely sensitive to stimuli such as impact, friction, heat, static electricity, or electromagnetic radiation. Some primary explosives are also known as contact explosives. A relatively small amount of energy is required for initiation.eg nitroglycerine. - A secondary explosiveis less sensitive than a primary explosive and requires substantially more energy to be initiated. Because they are less sensitive, they are usable in a wider variety of applications and are safer to handle and store. EG TNT,RDX. - Tertiary explosives, also called blasting agents, are so insensitive to shock that they cannot be reliably detonated by practical quantities of primary explosive, and instead require an intermediate explosive booster of secondary explosive. Properties of explosive materials Sensitivity refers to the ease with which an explosive can be ignited or detonated, i.e., the amount and intensity of shock, friction, or heat that is required. The velocity with which the reaction process propagates in the mass of the explosive. Most commercial mining explosives have detonation velocities ranging from 1800 m/s to 8000 m/s. Stability is the ability of an explosive to be stored without deterioration. The stability depends upon the temperature, exposure to sunlight, electric discharge etc. The term power or performance as applied to an explosive refers to its ability to do work. In practice it is defined as the explosive’s ability to accomplish what is intended in the way of energy delivery. Density of loading refers to the mass of an explosive per unit volume. Volatility is the readiness with which a substance vaporizes.

You’re ready to build or modify your first weapon. You head to the store with a clear vision in mind. But when you show up, you realize there’s a huge problem: there are a ton of rifle parts, and you have no idea which ones to buy. When it comes to a precision machine like a rifle, it’s only as strong as its weakest link. Every part of the rifle, from the bolt-action rifle parts to the stock, plays a pivotal role in overall performance. In this guide, we’ll discuss everything you need to know when you go shopping for rifle parts. Purchase From Well-Known Brands Just take a cursory glance at your local gun shop, and you’ll see a long list of brands. Remington, S&W, Glock. With so many to choose from, it may seem impossible to make a decision. An important rule to go for is purchasing from established brands. Some brands are hundreds of years old, and as such have perfected their expertise. As the saying goes, “We stand on the backs of giants.” An established brand has perfected the art of making weaponry over generations. Newer companies cannot hope to attain that level of quality. If you’ve heard of the brand, that’s usually a good sign. Springfield, Colt, and Winchester are all experts in their respective niches. You can’t go wrong whether you buy from America’s Savage Arms, or Germany’s Heckler and Koch. Buy From Reputable and Legitimate Sellers Like gun manufacturers, gun vendors also have to earn their reputation. Even if they just have rifle brass for sale, they’ve had to prove their prowess and knowledge to the gun community. Anyone familiar with the gun community knows it’s one of the most knowledgeable communities in the world. For starters, look for reviews. The gun community won’t give any quarter to someone who doesn’t know their stuff. If there’s an issue with the vendor in question, the reviews will bring it to light. Visit your vendor in person, if possible. Talk to them, ask questions, and see how they handle weapons. Even if you’re not terribly familiar with all of this, competence is something that shows. If You’re Buying Used, Get the Gun’s Pedigree Buying used parts of a rifle is a great way to get quality for lower prices. Well-made rifle parts can last a lifetime, so there’s no need to worry that you’re getting something that’s subpar. What matters more is how well the previous owner cared for their weapon. Did they clean it thoroughly after every trip to the range? Did they oil it, scrub the barrel rifling, and tighten the stock? Look for owners that talk about their weapons with passion. Owners who own large amounts of guns are a plus. If they’re parting ways with a particular part, it’s only because they didn’t use it or had the space to keep it. This establishes honesty with your buyer. You can rest assured that they won’t lie to you. They feel indebted to the gun community, and wouldn’t dare lead a newbie astray for quick cash. Ask the Gun Community As mentioned above, the gun community is one of the most passionate in the world. You’d struggle to find a similar group of people who know their gear better. These are folks that not only shoot their guns, but read deep into the history to understand their origins. There are a ton of gun forums all over the internet. Most of them include a help section or an online market. There is no better place than a gun forum if you want to get a second opinion. Ask about a certain part, and people who eat and breathe weapons will give detailed responses. If that forum includes a marketplace, then untrustworthy sellers won’t have much luck. Knowledgeable owners will pick their offerings to pieces if anything is wrong with them. Make friends in the gun community. It never hurts to network, and you never know when that could benefit you in the future. If you find someone who has a similar weapon to you, then they might be willing to give you a used part for less. If not that, then you have an expert on call as needed. Make Sure Your Rifle Parts Are Compatible To a novice, it may seem like the AR-15 and the AR-10 only have minor differences between them. However, these are two entirely different platforms, and several of their key components are incompatible. The point is, you need to have your rifle parts labeled. You need to be 100% sure that your platform supports whichever part you’ve purchased, or you’ll be short quite a bit of money. Research the rifle diagram parts to get an idea of what your rifle looks like. This may include information about which components it supports. Again, turn to your rifle community. Simply asking which bolt action rifle parts to purchase for your Remington will give you accurate answers. The community always has your back and tends to be friendly to novices. It’s Time to Purchase New Rifle Parts Buying rifle parts can be a stressful experience if you’re new to gun ownership. However, even the greenest of novices have a wealth of tools to help them make the right decisions. Make sure you keep the above in mind to inform yourself before making a purchase. Getting into gun collecting is an exciting hobby. Check out our blog for more tips on gun ownership.

TopGun is all about training in the safe use of firearms. Most of the training courses that we teach are National Rifle Association (NRA) approved courses that must be taught by a NRA Certified Instructor. We teach introductory courses the NRA calls “First Step” Rife, Pistol and Shotgun instruction, through an assortment of “Basic” courses in the same disciplines, and then on to the more advanced courses such as “Personal Protection Inside the Home”. Since we also plan on teaching “Concealed Carry”, while not a perquisite, it is highly recommended that students planning on making application for a concealed carry permit take our NRA “Personal Protection Outside the Home” course. An additional course that will be offer in the future is the NRA “Advanced Pistol” that builds on the practices and skills learn in earlier offerings. More about each of these courses is outlined on our Training page. Additionally, courses such as Basic, Intermediate, and Advanced Tactical Rifle will be offered. These courses are for those students who own Modern Sporting Rifles (MSRs) that would like to learn how to best use the this very popular of type of firearm in a tactical scenario. The MSR carbines are great inside the home firearms because of their size and magazine capacity, but in the hands of a novice user, can pose a danger due to projectile penetration of walls. Tactical shotgun will also be taught and is probably one of the more favored firearms for inside the home defense. Please refer to "Training Available" page for details.

The Boeing B-29 Superfortress was a four-engined heavy bomber flown primarily by the United States in World War Two and the Korean War. The B-29 remained in service in various roles throughout the 1950s. The British Royal Air Force flew the B-29 and used the name Washington for the type, and the Soviet Union produced an unlicensed copy as the Tupolev Tu-4. The name "Superfortress" was derived from...

Gives a lot of minutiae. I'm not that interested in every single person involved with the development of an airplane but it was very interesting and not overwhelming (not boring). I also liked the... s well-known predecessor, the B-17 Flying Fortress. The B-29 was the progenitor of a series of Boeing-built bombers, reconnaissance aircraft, trainers and tankers including the variant, B-50 Superfortress.The B-29 was one of the largest aircraft to see service during World War Two. A very advanced bomber for its time, it included features such as pressurized cabins, an electronic fire-control system and remote-controlled machine-gun turrets. Though it was designed as a high-altitude daytime bomber, in practice it actually flew more low-altitude nighttime incendiary bombing missions. It was the primary aircraft in the American firebombing campaign against Japan in the final months of World War Two, and carried the atomic bombs that destroyed Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Unlike many other World War Two-era bombers, the B-29 remained in service long after the war ended, with a few even being employed as flying television transmitters. The type was finally retired in the early 1960s, with 3,960 aircraft in all built.Without doubt there is a clear, strong requirement to ‘put the record straight’ using primary source documentation to record the undoubted achievements alongside and in context with the shortcomings to the type’s design and operation that have otherwise received scant attention.The book will cover all variants and is profusely illustrated.

Those experienced in sportsman shooting know the delight in shooting a high quality, well-tuned air rifle. Luckily, there has never been a better time to find the perfect air rifle; modern models are considerably more accurate and powerful than those that became popular nearly 30 years ago. Today, however, there is some controversy around determining the quality of air rifles. The tips and recommendations in this article aim to help you determine exactly which air rifle will work best for your unique needs. If you’re hoping to purchase a quality product with a tight budget, look no further than the GAMO Whisper Silent Cat Air Rifle. This air gun is a versatile product that offers a velocity between 1000-1200 feet per second depending on preferred ammunition. The GAMO Whisper Silent Cat has a 4X32 scope (as well as a base for mounting) and a built-in noise dampener that reduces noise by up to 52%. This product also meets high safety standards as it offers a manual trigger safety and automatic cocking safety system. The ventilated rubber pad works to absorb force from the recoil providing maximum comfort. The product maintains a solid rating on Amazon boasting easy loading, lightweight transport, and a considerably quiet shot. The Black Ops Break Barrel Spring Piston Sniper Air Rifle is our top pick for a high quality hunting weapon. This powerful rifle is a .22 caliber that operates with a piston compressed air system. The caliber and the firing system combine to make the perfect all around weapon for taking down the vast majority of small prey. This Black Ops Sniper is high-powered with a cool, sleek look. The spring piston technology offers 1,000 FPS and has synthetic stock for all-weather reliability. This high functioning product has been boasted as an effective and versatile rifle. Best .177 Caliber Air Gun The Benjamin Prowler Nitro Piston Air Rifle is our top pick for .177 caliber air rifles. With smooth cocking effort, less recoil, and up to 70% less noise than typical spring powered air guns, this product is a favorite for small game hunters. Complete with a 4X32mm scope, rifled steel barrel, and two-stage adjustable trigger, the Benjamin Prowler Nitro Piston Air Rifle is a reliable and powerful product. Best .22 Air Guns There are many quality .22 caliber air guns on the market, below we have listed our top two picks with different specializations. The Gamo Raptor Whisper .22 Caliber Air Rifle is a top pick as it offers a blazing 975 FPS firing speed and Inert Gas Technology. This practical product includes ambidextrous cheek pieces, textured pistol grip, and a forearm shock wave absorber. The Gamo Raptor Whisper has successfully made the overall functioning smoother, meaning less torque and less fatigue on the springs. This is a quality product that will undoubtedly come in handy for backyard pests and small game. If you’re looking for an all around excellent hunting rifle, we recommend the Crossman Nitro Venom Break Barrel Air Rifle. The Nitro Piston technology offers a new level of power and stability in air gun shooting. The beavertail forearm is designed to enhance the shooting position, and the wide forearm area offers a resting position for the palm, improving accuracy. This gun is a great choice for pest control and small game hunting alike. Choosing the Right Caliber The internal diameter of the barrel determines the size of ammunition that can be fired from the rifle; different calibers have their own advantages and disadvantages. While there are a number of calibers available, the most common are .177, .20, .22 and .25 caliber air rifles. Some of the specific pros and cons of each caliber are discussed further below Rifles with a .177 caliber are the most common, perhaps because they fire the smallest and least expensive type of air rifle pellets. That being said, .177 caliber rifles are well-respected among shooters and are particularly useful for those new to using pellet rifles. .177 caliber rifles are largely accepted as the standard for international and domestic professional target shooting, which is a testament to their accuracy. These rifles are great for target practice or hunting small game. The accuracy of these rifles can be attributed to the velocity of the small pellets, which keeps them from arcing. Since the ammo is light and the bores of the rifles are small, .177 caliber rifles will typically produce the highest muzzle velocities. Most .177 air rifles fire pellets fast enough to break the sound barrier, which is approximately 1,100 feet per second at sea level, with some rifles shooting pellets up to 1,300 FPS. These rifles are an excellent choice for hunters of small game as well as birds and pests, however, due to the small size of the pellets, it can be difficult to take down your prey humanely. Rifles of this caliber are too small for large game hunters. .20 caliber air rifles are the perfect middle ground between .177 and the larger .22 caliber air rifles. These rifles are a great option for target practice or general hunting since the heavy weight of the pellet is balanced with its ability to maintain a fairly flat trajectory, at least when compared to a .22 air rifle. One drawback of these rifles, however, is finding affordable ammo; .20 ammo tends to be a bit more expensive than ammo for other calibers. While this caliber may be useful for target practice, .22 rifles are generally accepted as the go-to choice for pest control and hunting, particularly for furry small game such as groundhogs, jackrabbits and large rats. .22 rifles have a large pellet size, heavy weight, and excellent stopping power compared to other calibers. In comparison to the pellet of a .177, which might go straight through an animal without killing or incapacitating it, the pellet of a .22 will transfer its energy right into the target, bringing it down humanely. Keep in mind that in order to kill an animal humanely the accuracy is the primary variable to be controlled, and obtaining accuracy with a .22 caliber rifle may require considerably more practice and familiarization. This is due to .22 air rifles’ arc like trajectory. Next to the .177, the .22 is the most common caliber air rifle and ammo, which makes finding pellets for the gun pretty easy, although they are considerably more expensive than the pellets for those of .177 caliber. Rifles of .25 caliber are the best for taking down prey as quickly and painlessly as possible. The large pellet size and heavy weight means a .25 air rifle can take down prey like raccoons and coyotes. Since the ammo is so heavy, many of these rifles require specialized firing systems that make them prohibitively expensive for the majority of air rifle hunters. Power Types for Your Air Rifle Air rifles can be powered in a variety of ways. Choosing the right firing mechanism is important to be able to make the most out of your air rifle experience. With each powering system come advantages and disadvantages, just like with different calibers. The primary powering systems have been listed below, with some discussion of their pros and cons. Pre-Compressed Air Rifles Most powerful air guns make use of compressed air to fire a pellet, however the main difference lies in the way the air is stored before you pull the trigger. The three most common types of pre-compressed air rifles are: pre-charged pneumatic, multi-pump pneumatic, and single-stroke pneumatic. Pre-Charged Pneumatic Air Rifles This power system makes use of pre-compressed air, which is typically between 1500 and 3000 PSI, to charge the air chamber of your rifle. This pressure can be achieved either by using a manual hand pump, or attaching the rifle (or the air chamber if it is detachable) to a high pressure tank, such as a scuba tank. These are essentially the only super powerful air rifles that can shoot multiple shots with just one fill; spring cocking and multi-pump air guns can only shoot once before needing to be recharged. Due to the pressure behind the pellet, this type of air rifle is the optimum choice for taking down game in the medium to large range. There are some rifles this size that can fire a .45 caliber pellet at a whopping 750 feet per second! - Excellent for shooting at long range - Provides power for large caliber pellets - One of the best systems for taking down large game - Many can fire more than once on just a single charge - Transfer of power from storage to pellet is smooth with hardly any recoil - Once the tank is filled, it is easy and convenient to use - Using a hand pump to charge requires a bit of stamina - If a higher PSI is desired, a high pressure tank will be necessary - Pressure filling accessories can be expensive and difficult to find - Air rifles that work efficiently with this system tend to be a bit more expensive Multi-Pump Pneumatic Air Rifles Multi-pump pneumatic air rifles are probably the most common compressed air power system on the market. They operate in a similar fashion to a pre-charged pneumatic system, but the method used to compress air requires pumping the chamber full, and the compressed air is only good for one shot. One of the best things about this type of rifle is that you are able to alter the feet per second by controlling the number of pumps. This is an excellent feature for target practice when you don’t need 1000 feet per second with each shot. These rifles are also very affordable and are extremely powerful when pumped to the maximum. This makes them perfect for those new to the air rifle world, and also a great choice for those looking for an effective and accurate weapon for hunting small game. These air rifles are usually marketed for those on a budget, so make sure to thoroughly research your selection. If you are looking for a quality multi-pump pneumatic air rifle, avoid getting a rifle that is also capable of shooting BB pellets, as this can mean the barrel design was compromised to accommodate the BBs. That being said, quality multi-pump pellet air guns can be effective, powerful, and accurate. - Very affordable - Limited recoil - Extreme power when fully charged - Good for both beginners and seasoned air gun users - Many models are poor quality - The rifle is single action, meaning it will need to be recharged after each shot - There will be a delay between shots while you recharge Single-stroke Pneumatic Air Rifles Single-stroke pneumatic air rifles are very similar to multi-pump models, but are pumped just once. These are a great choice for younger air gun users. Normally used for pistols, hand guns, and occasionally, rifles, the least attractive feature of these rifles is their limited power. - Easy to use - Quick to recharge - Power generation is much weaker when compared to a multi-pump air rifle - Typically not a great option for efficient hunting Spring piston rifles, also known as “springers,” make use of compressed air, but the air doesn’t get compressed until the trigger is pulled. Usually, these rifles work by making use of a single-cocking lever to prime a heavy spring behind the piston that, when released, compresses the air in the front of the cylinder – and behind the pellet – to propel the pellet outward at a high velocity. Most models use under levers or break barrel levers to cock the spring; these rifles are easy to use as they only need to be cocked once. Typically, these rifles are more powerful, capable of producing velocities up to 1000 FPS. However, due to the amount of force needed to coil the springs (typically about 30-40 pounds) they can sometimes be challenging for unfamiliar users. Also, these rifles tend to be noisier than other air guns and typically have more recoil compared to pre-compressed models. - Substantial power - Typically affordable - One-motion cocking action is faster and more convenient than the multi-pump air gun system - Widely available in both .177 and .22 calibers - Significant recoil - Cocking can be difficult Gas “Nitro” Piston Air Guns These air guns operate similarly to springers, however, they use nitrogen gas instead of a spring. These “gas rams” offer several benefits over the use of a spring piston air gun, and are rapidly growing in popularity. Without the big spring mass of spring rifles, nitro piston air guns are much quieter and considerably easier to cock. In general, these guns have a smoother feel and are easier to shoot, making them an excellent choice for shooters new to the air gun community that may be startled by the torque and loud noise of a heavy spring uncoiling. Since nitrogen is much less sensitive to temperature than steel, guns that make use of a gas ram don’t have reduced performance in low temperatures like springers. Another significant advantage of a gas piston air gun is that, unlike a spring, the gas piston has the ability to stay cocked for an indefinite period of time without losing any power. A spring, on the other hand, will eventually start to “set” in the cocked position if it remains there for a long period of time, and will eventually lose power. This is an important consideration for air rifle hunters who might need to spend several hours with a rifle cocked and primed to fire. - Smooth action - Much quieter than a spring rifle - Easy to cock - Gun can stay cocked without loss of power - No performance change in low temperatures - Less torque and recoil, which can facilitate greater accuracy - Gas pistons are a closed system and cannot be as easily adjusted and fine-tuned by the average user CO2 Powered Air Guns Although more common for pistols, CO2 can be used to some extent for pellet guns, often as an alternative pressure source for many PCPs. CO2 is an inert and harmless gas that is useful because it can be stored in a liquefied state in a small cartridge, and can be used to fire multiple shots, allowing the user to fire the weapon in a semi-automatic mode. However, the vapor pressure CO2 exerts depends largely on the temperature. As a result, on days when the air temperature is below 60 degrees, the velocity of the air gun will be significantly reduced. Conversely, on very hot days, vapor pressure may elevate to the point where the firing mechanism seizes up. Additionally, CO2 power is generally the most limited, and is unable to reach higher velocities like various firing technologies outlined above. Due to these disadvantages, CO2 is best used for plinking or target shooting. CO2 rifles will not be effective for hunting pests or game. - One cartridge can power multiple single shots - Semi-automatic firing is a possibility - Convenient and easy to use - Buying or refilling CO2 cartridges can be tedious and rather expensive - Power is limited compared to other power systems - Velocity suffers at low temperatures Understanding Velocity, Energy, and Accuracy Feet Per Second (FPS) The velocity of the muzzle – normally referred to in feet per second (FPS) – is the most popular way for manufacturers to categorize the power of air rifles. This is practical, as many shooters are primarily concerned with speed and power. Understanding the reality of FPS measurements, however, is important when comparing different rifle models. Many manufacturers tend to manipulate FPS by reporting it in creative ways, such as testing the velocity using very light alloy pellets to raise the gun’s apparent FPS. As a result, many air gun users who buy a “super-powered” .177 rifle that boasts a 1200 FPS may discover that it only fires 900 FPS when using a properly-weighted pellet suitable for hunting or target practice. Foot-Pounds of Energy (FPE) A considerably more accurate and consistent way to assess the true power of an air gun is to understand the muzzle kinetic energy, i.e. Joules, or in the U.S., Foot-Pounds of Energy (FPE or ft-lbs). In order to determine FPE, the only thing you need to know is how fast a rifle propels a given pellet (FPS) and that pellet’s weight in grains. FPS vs. FPE FPS by itself is an often misleading indicator of the true power of an air gun. When using an air gun for hunting, the aim is to maximize the kinetic energy transferred to the target. For example, if a .177 and a .22 pellet are shot from the exact same gun and power source, the .177 pellet, which travels faster, will always deliver less power to the target than the slower traveling .22 pellet, as the .22 pellet has more FPE. That being said, the very highest FPS ratings, even if inflated, still have some value. For example, one of the most powerful .177 caliber air rifles is rated at a staggering 1,400 FPS, which may be inflated due to testing using ultra light PBA Platinum pellets, but when you calculate the FPE, it still results in over 20 FPE at the muzzle – which makes it an extremely powerful .177 caliber rifle. Velocity or Accuracy? The relationship between velocity and accuracy should be taken into consideration before purchasing an air rifle. It’s generally known that the accuracy of a pellet gun deteriorates rapidly when it reaches the speed of sound (about 1,100 FPS). If a pellet is fired from a rifle at about 1,900 FPS, it is certainly traveling faster than the speed of sound, and right after departing the barrel it will give off a loud cracking pop that signifies the sound barrier has been broken. Unless shooting at a very close range, this means your accuracy will suffer because the pellets will slow down rapidly. The flight at supersonic speed will indeed be short lived, and the resulting sonic wave generated in the rear of the pellet will presently catch up and overtake the pellet as it slows down, wrecking its flight trajectory and causing it to tumble. This may not be an issue when shooting targets at close ranges, but for more serious target shooting or hunting, the turbulence will detract greatly from your accuracy. Usually, experienced air rifle shooters try to keep their FPS at about 1,000 by using a heavier pellet on high-powered rifles so they can avoid breaking the sound barrier. Break Barrel Air Guns Break barrel air guns are probably the most common design of air rifles on the market. Break barrel air rifles are probably the best starter air guns for those who are just getting into the sport of air rifle shooting if for no other reason than their simple assembly. Break barrel guns are air rifles that shoot pellets, not BBs, however they are still easy to operate, despite having to load each shot by hand as you fire the weapon. Additionally, loading each shot by hand will lead to a much more powerful result. These air rifles are known as a “break barrel” because they receive power from a tight spring that is cocked when you push the barrel downward so it disengages, or “breaks,” somewhere near the end of the main body of the gun. Pressing it down to the maximum capacity arms the spring and reveals where the pellet should go. The pellet is put in the chamber with the point facing down or out toward the end of the barrel, which is then lifted back up and locked into place. Maintaining a Break Barrel Air Gun One of the main reasons to own a break barrel air gun is that they are extremely easy to maintain. Keep in mind, however, that the maintenance could vary considerably between models. Failing to maintain your air rifle should never be an option. For most models, you can simply break the barrel open, put a cleaning pellet inside the chamber, and run the pellets through the barrel with a ramrod. This will typically clean out all of the residue that might otherwise build up within the barrel and cause your pellets to miss the target or be less accurate than they otherwise could be. For other models, though, maintenance can be a more difficult. The common Gamo Bone Collector Bull Whisper, for example, requires considerable cleaning and oiling after each use. This is not so much a flaw in the rifle as it is simply the design. The additional work that you put into your gun is reflected in the ease of use and level of accuracy. Ease of Use Break barrel rifles are incredibly easy to use. There is a simple procedure to follow for a shot: break the barrel, load the weapon, snap it back together, and fire. This firing process is much simpler than a pre-charged pneumatic air rifle or even a CO2 powered rifle. When dealing with a pump action air rifle or a pre-charged pneumatic version, there will be a large air chamber inside the weapon that generates the power behind each shot. While these can provide consistent shots, they are also prone to breaking on multiple models. All it takes is just one leak in the air chamber to make an air gun practically useless. Someone who is not accustomed to maintaining an air rifle will likely be unaware of how to prevent a leak. If you own a break barrel, this is a problem you can avoid. Break barrel air guns tend to have greater accuracy as the pellet has less distance to travel through the barrel than other types of firing systems. Another reason is the spring action is a powerful way to fire a pellet. With an air rifle that uses compressed air in a chamber, there will be a small release that allows that air under pressure to escape, but only briefly. This will create the force that fires the pellet out of the barrel. While this can be a very powerful way to fire a pellet, it can also be inconsistent, particularly if the air begins to run low. With a spring powered rifle, the mechanics work by compressing a spring behind a piston and attaching it to a latch that is connected to the trigger. When you pull the trigger, the spring is released. It then pushes the piston forward, compressing the air in its path. With nowhere else to hide, the air rushes forward and pushes the pellet out of the barrel so it can escape. This will usually result in considerably more consistent pressure and a more accurate shot. Of course, accuracy can be affected by numerous factors in any given weapon, such as the ammo used and the conditions when shooting. It is essential to take time to determine which options will work best for you.

The Platinum Palace Weapon Weight Useage A character just cannot use too heavy weapons. Be it that it’s a heavy weapon like a greatclub, or it is of large size or bigger, it will be heavy for characters to use effectively in combat. (any penalties for the weight of a weapon stacks with penalties for using large weapons). A character can only effectively use the weapon if it’s weight is one fourth or less than the characters light load limit, rounded down. A character that is dual wielding just adds the two weapon weights together (like two shortsword is 2+2) For example, a normal, untrained human (strength 10) can carry 33 pounds as a light load. He can also use weapons that weighs 8 pounds or less. That normal, untrained man can dual wield longswords (4+4 pounds) or even a greatsword (8 pounds) efficiently, but the really heavy weapons like greataxe is not within his reach, that’s for the stronger characters. A character can take a one-handed weapon (even if it’s another size or not) and use it with two hands. A character can use that weapon if it’s only half of the characters light load instead. A character cannot benefit from this with two-handed weapons, they are already heavy and always made to be used with two hands If a weapon weighs more than a fourth of a character’s light load rounded down, he cannot use the weapon in combat effectively

Firearms Licensing - FAQs The Police and Crime Commissioner Dorset. Both last for five years each. Not unless they hold either a certificate or a permit in their own right for the firearms. The Anti-Social Behaviour Act 2003 has various sections, which, when implemented on January 20, 2004, bring in some major changes to current firearms legislation. Section 37 Possession of air weapon and imitation firearm in a public place. Section 38 Air weapons: age limits. Section 39 Prohibition of certain air weapons. The new laws cover air rifles, air guns and air pistols, which use a self-contained gas cartridge system. Air rifles over 12-feet pounds muzzle energy. Air Pistols over 6-foot Pounds Muzzle energy. See Firearms Law – Age Restrictions Firearms and Explosives Licensing Team Devon & Cornwall Police and Dorset Police Police Headquarters Building Dorset Police is experiencing a significant delay in the processing of firearms licensing and is aware that applicants are waiting much longer than anticipated for the grant and renewal application process. We request your continued patience while we work proactively to clear all outstanding applications and advise all applicants to disregard previous guidance on processing times while we work to restore the service to its previous capacity Yes, including all traffic convictions and any offences committed abroad. Firearm legislation requires that all notifications must be sent to the above address in writing, including sales or acquisitions abroad; we do accept faxes and e-mail notifications. Arrangements should be made either with a registered firearms dealer or at a police station, with notification by recorded delivery or registered post to the address shown above. See Firearms (Amendment) Act 1997 Section 34 for full details. Reminders are sent out to renew certificates four months prior to expiry. The onus remains on you to ensure that you renew the certificate prior to expiry and submit the application in good time. To help us to help you, applications should be made within two weeks of receipt to allow the completion of renewal enquiries prior to expiry. In short, yes you can, under certain circumstances. Many approved shotgun clubs and even some Registered Firearms Dealers hold special "open Days" where non-certificate holders can fire club shotguns to test their interest in the sport. The club or dealer must have a section 11(6) permit, issued by the police, which allow such an operation on a limited number of days per year. "Firearm", within the definition of the Firearms Acts, means a lethal barrelled weapon of any description, from which any shot, bullet or other missile can be discharged. It includes any prohibited weapon, whether it is such a lethal weapon as aforesaid or not, and any component part of such a weapon, and any accessory to such weapon designed or adapted to diminish the noise or flash caused by the firing of the weapon. Firearm, within the terms of what you are allowed to hold on a firearm certificate, would obviously not include any prohibited weapons. Neither would it include "shotguns", as they are held on a shotgun certificate. Except, that is, for Section 1 shotguns, which can only be held on a firearm certificate. A Section 1 shotgun differs from a conventional shotgun, by virtue of the fact that it has a magazine capable of holding more than two cartridges. These are known as "pump-action" or "semi-automatic" shotguns, where cartridges from the magazine are loaded by hand "pumping" the action, or by the discharge of the previous round. These weapons are required to be held on a firearm certificate. A shotgun is a smooth bore gun (not being an air-weapon) which; - Has a barrel not less than 60.96 cm (24 inches) in length and does not have any barrel with a bore that exceeds 5.08 cm (2 inches), in diameter AND - Either has no magazine, or a non detachable magazine incapable of holding more than two cartridges AND - Is not a revolver gun. Other smooth bore guns may require a firearms certificate or even be prohibited weapons. There are weapons other than conventional shotguns, which also require a shotgun certificate, e.g. smooth bore muskets used for re-enactments. Genuine antique shotguns, with flintlock, matchlock and percussion cap firing mechanisms, which are not kept to be fired, will not normally require to be certificated.

An explosive device, believed to be from World War II, was found in a quarry by workers this week. Horsham Police took to Twitter to share a strange find on their morning shift yesterday (September 18). The force shared an image of an old, dirt-covered unexploded munition, that had been discovered in a quarry. For size comparison the officer placed a screw-diver next to it and the weapon is approximately four times the length of the tool. The police believed at the time it could be a "prototype rocket propelled grenade or similar anti tank weapon". The device was safely detonated by a military Ordnance Disposal team at 11.15am. Workers continued their normal duties at the quarry while the team detonated the old explosive and no evacuations were necessary. A spokesperson for Sussex Police said: "A small explosive shell believed to be from World War II period was found by workers in a quarry off Langhurst Wood Road, near Horsham at 7.40am on Friday (September 18)."

The patch will sport a brand new melee weapon called the Push Dagger. The developers have described it as “a blade with a T-shaped grip that allows for increased push power.” They have further stated that the dagger will be “easily concealable and deadly in CQC.” We can expect the new melee weapon to be a favorite among those who prefer stealth. The blade is expected to be the new king of silent takedowns. Players have three ways to acquire the Push Dagger in Call of Duty Players will be able to unlock the push dagger in three different ways. They can unlock the weapon by completing one of the following challenges: - Players will have to get five melee kills with a primary weapon in a single match 15 times in the multiplayer mode. The quickest way of achieving this will be via attaching the bayonette attachment to the primary weapon or by the Fast Melee Perk. - Players will have to get 100 kills with a melee weapon while shrouded by their Aether Shroud. This is a zombie-centric challenge. Shi No Numa will be the ideal place to grind for this challenge. If players don’t want to grind for the weapon, they can also buy it via the store-bundle from the in-game store. More information on the Season 4 Patch The update will also come with a brand new SMG called Marco 5. The gun has been announced to have high mobility and accurate hip fire. This will be the first SMG from Vanguard to have the Akimbo perk. The developers have also added an LMG with high mobility and fire-rate. UGM-8 has been reported to excel in creating suppressing fire and pushing enemy positions. The patch also brings in the Vargo-S Assault Rifle. The new rifle is being branded as a workhorse gun with a high fire-rate, a steady aim through sustained fire and fast reload. The rifle can be further enhanced with 10 attachments as it will be a part of the Vanguard expansion. Along with these new weapons, the patch will come with a brand new Call of Duty Resurgence map called Fortune’s Keep. The map brings in two brand new features: Black Market Run Contract and Cash Extraction. The gameplay of Resurgence should revolve around these features. The map of Caldera will also have new changes. Along with the addition of Storage town in the southwest of Mines, Caldera will now have better visibility and lesser foliage. This is expected to address the visibility issues of the map. This update will bring back the fan-favorite gun game. We will also see the return of the Zombie mode of Shi No Numa. Call of Duty Warzone will also feature a new Armored SUV. Players will have a new option to rush around the map of the Caldera. The armored SUV will have a dedicated turret seat along with space for players to use their loadout weapons. This mean vehicle might turn out to be the favourite mode of transport for the players. The playerbase of the Call of Duty Warzone will have a great time in the next few months. With the upcoming release of season 4 Mercenaries of Fortune, the playerbase will have a lot to enjoy until the upcoming release of Modern Warfare 2.

Another model that I have created in Maya is this axe. On the left is the model and on the right is the model but wire framed. This model will be used added to the imagine worlds project that we have been giving in groups. My idea is for this axe to be leaning against a anvil that I am going to model in the near future. This model will be taking into Substance Painter and texture. The blade of the axe will be silver. The grip will have a dirt-like texture on it and the handle will be wooden. In my opinion this axe does look like a fantasy axe.

Is the threat of heightened global unrest escalating next week? "Six big powers meet Iran to discuss its contentious nuclear programme Efforts to curtail Iran’s nuclear programme will gather pace in Geneva on Thursday October 1st. The six countries negotiating with Iran — America, Britain, France, Russia, China and Germany — want Iran to come clean about its nuclear ambitions and to cease enriching uranium, which could be used to construct an atomic bomb. The last such talks, in 2008, broke down after Iran refused to admit that enrichment was going on. This time America has threatened 'crippling sanctions' if talks collapse. Russia, usually indulgent of Iran, may be willing to support sanctions, especially after revelations that Iran has been secretly building a new enrichment plant."

By Tim Kitz, with files from Yasmine Ghania The Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons was passed by the UN General Assembly on July 7, 2017. Canada did not bother to vote. The treaty is a legally binding agreement with the eventual goal of completely eliminating nuclear weapons. In order to come into effect, 50 countries need to sign and approve it. Though 122 nations (every African, Latin American and Caribbean nation – as well as many Asian and some European nations) have supported the treaty, no nuclear-armed nation or member of NATO has joined them. Despite the rejection of the treaty by these countries, activists like Ray Acheson of the disarmament advocacy group Reaching Critical Will hope it will stigmatize nuclear weapons. Canada’s history with nuclear weapons is mixed. By providing uranium and plutonium to the Manhattan Project, Canada directly contributed to the development of nuclear weapons. But by 1965, Canada decided to stop exporting uranium for weapons and use all nuclear materials for peaceful purposes. “Canada was the first country with significant nuclear capability to reject nuclear weapons,” as the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission proudly proclaims on its website. In 1970, Canada — along with 189 other nations, including the U.S. and most of the nuclear powers — signed the Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT). The NPT commits all signatories to “pursue negotiations in good faith on effective measures relating to cessation of the nuclear arms race at an early date and to nuclear disarmament, and on a treaty on general and complete disarmament.” NATO’s refusal of the current Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons seems to renege on this commitment. In this Canada and the rest of NATO seem to be following the lead of the U.S. Before the vote to hold negotiations was held, the U.S. issued a letter to its NATO allies saying “we feel efforts to negotiate an immediate ban on nuclear weapons or to delegitimize nuclear deterrence are fundamentally at odds with NATO’s basic policies on deterrence and our shared security interests.” The Canadian government cites its attempts to prevent the sale of components for nuclear weapons — through a stalled treaty process from 1993 — as proof it is working for nuclear security. Meanwhile it dismisses the treaty banning nuclear weapons. Global Affairs Canada spokesperson Austin Jean told the Globe and Mail, “The negotiation of a nuclear-weapon ban without the participation of states that possess nuclear weapons is certain to be ineffective and will not eliminate any nuclear weapons. If anything, it may make disarmament more difficult.” This kind of logic has been called “utterly outrageous” by one former Canadian ambassador for disarmament, Peggy Mason, and “pathetic” by Paul Meyer, another former ambassador for disarmament. This article first appeared in the Leveller Vol. 10, No. 1 (Sept/Oct 2017).

PLA Eastern Theater Command commissions more J-10C fighters A J-10 fighter jet attached to an aviation brigade of the air force under the PLA Southern Theater Command taxies in speed before takeoff during a flight training exercise on October 11, 2021.Photo:China Military With the aim of better safeguarding aerial and maritime security as well as national unity, the Chinese People’s Liberation Army (PLA) Eastern Theater Command Air Force recently replaced some of its old J-7 fighter jets with advanced J-10C fighter jets, the state broadcaster revealed on Sunday, shortly after the island of Taiwan commissioned the first combat wing of F-16V fighter jets on Thursday. Nine J-7E fighter jets recently left an airbase in the east of South China’s Guangdong Province, as they have been retired from active combat service and are being replaced by domestically developed J-10C fighter jets, China Central Television (CCTV) reported on Sunday. The J-10C, which has been in service with several other PLA Air Force units, is one and a half generations more advanced than the J-7E, and will give pilots significantly more advantages in combat, analysts said. Colonel Wang Hongbo, one of the pilots in the brigade affiliated with the Eastern Theater Command Air Force switching to fly the J-10C, has been practicing on the new warplane for nearly half a year. Wang said on CCTV that the new aircraft has changed the way he perceives the battlefield. With the J-10C, the pilot needs to switch his role from just being a pilot to being a combatant, Wang said, noting that since the old J-7 uses mechanical flight controls while the J-10C uses fly-by-wire, the new warplane allows the pilot to focus on the battlefield instead of on steering the aircraft. Judging from the CCTV report footage, the J-10Cs the brigade received are equipped with the domestically developed WS-10 Taihang engines, Shanghai-based news website eastday.com said. The announcement of the commissioning of the new batch of J-10Cs came after the commissioning of the island of Taiwan’s first combat wing of US-made F-16V fighter jets on Thursday. Media on the island of Taiwan claimed that the F-16V can face down the J-20 stealth aircraft of the PLA, which is a fifth-generation heavy fighter jet. But in fact, the F-16V is just a 4.5-generation medium fighter jet, and the PLA’s J-10C is enough to rival it, a Chinese mainland military expert told the Global Times on Sunday, requesting anonymity. The commissioning of more J-10Cs will further widen the power gap across the Taiwan Straits, the expert said. In addition to the J-10C fighter, the PLA Eastern Theater Command Air Force has previously received delivery of the advanced J-16 heavy fighter, CCTV said, highlighting the speed of new aircraft deliveries. The PLA Eastern Theater Command Air Force stands ready to safeguard aerial and maritime security as well as national unity, CCTV reported.

Ruger 10/22 Magazine Adapter The Original Ruger 10/22 Magazine Adapter - Allows the Ruger 10/22 to use unlimited capacity Remington 597 Magazines. Works best with ProMag Remington 597 Magazines. Product Update 2019-07-17: We have made numerous alterations to the product during the last month of down time. We have tightened the tolerances within the adapter, changed printer configuration to produce a stronger part, and improved overall quality. We have also added an adjustment screw to the rear of the adapter. This can be used to snug the adapter inside the Ruger 10/22 rifle. The prohibition of high-capacity Ruger 10/22 magazines has been a failure of legislation in Canada. However, using a High-Capacity Remington 597 magazine in a Ruger 10/22 is perfectly legal. We have developed a magazine adapter to do just this. Our adapter has been approved by the RCMP and is 100% legal to use. The adapter is made in Canada using a Carbon Fiber Composite 3d printed material. This has allowed us to produce a durable product while keeping the costs down. Magazine Notice: We advise against using the black 30 round Remington 597 magazines. These magazines have a design defect which causes the follower to bind. ProMag Remington 597 magazines work best. You should also follow our posted magazine break in procedure. Ammo Notice: For best results use 36 grain copper plated ammo. Heavily waxed ammo can cause jamming. RUGER SR-22 & TACTICAL NOTICE: The stock on the Ruger SR-22 or 10/22 tactical rifle will interfere with the adapter. - Carbon Fiber Composite - 3D Printed - Legal for use in 10/22 rifles

Solomon in categories: business, counterterrorism, defense, disruptive technology, engineering, innovation, physics, science, space The Navy’s Rail Gun technology hides a secret, that the Navy’s projectile accuracy has been substantially increased by about 45x. But first some history. The US government brought Prof Eric Laithwaite to help them build a rocket launcher based on linear motor principles. Today we call this the Rail Gun. In terms of its original objectives it was not a success, because astronauts could not survive the accelerations required to launch from a rail gun and cargo required a much longer rail gun than feasible with the then technologies.

The story of the H.L. Hunley is not only about the technological innovation of one of America’s first submarines, but the story of the people surrounding its construction, its mission, and quick demise. By the Battle of Gettysburg in July of 1863, things for the Confederacy had turned for the worst and the Union was successfully blockading Confederate supply routes more than ever. Earlier on in the war the Confederacy had tasked marine engineer Horace Lawson Hunley with developing submarines for the Confederacy. The idea of a submarine wasn’t new, in fact the first combat submarine, The Turtle was used during the American Revolution. However, its attempt to attack a british frigate in New York Harbor was met with disastrous consequences, as the small submarine managed to blow itself up without inflicting any harm on it’s enemy shortly after being spotted. After developing 2 other subs, H.L. Hunley and his architects had the newest submarine ready for demonstration by July of 1863 where the submarine successfully attacked and sank an old coal flatboat that the developers used as a prop strictly for testing in Mobile Bay, Alabama. Over the course of the testing the Hunley failed twice, leading to loss of life, including the life of her creator, HL Hunley. Both times the submarine was salvaged and put back to use by the Confederacy. In order to successfully attack its enemies, the Hunley had a 22-foot wooden spar connected to its bow upon which it had a spar torpedo attached at the end. The Hunley would then ram the spar into the enemy ship, thus jabbing the torpedo into the ship’s bow. The Hunley would the retreat before the detonation occurred. Maneuvering the vessel required the presence of a 8 man crew, 7 to help turn the propeller and one to guide its direction. Into Combat and the loss of the Hunley After only one successful demonstration the Hunley was shipped by rail to Charleston, South Carolina where it began its short lived career in combat. The Union, like it had done to many other Confederate areas had successfully blocked Charleston Harbor. In order to contribute towards breaking the Union’s blockade on Charleston, the Hunley made its first and only attempt to attack an enemy ship on the night of February 17, 1864. The Union ship was the USS Housatonic, a large vessel that weighed 1,240 tons and had 12 large cannons. First Lieutenant George E. Dixon, in command of the Hunley was a young 23 year old engineer who had spent time in New Orleans, Louisiana before beginning duty of the Hunley. Dixon had also been previously injured at the Battle of Shiloh in 1862 and it’s said that only the fact that a coin given to him by his lover was in his pocket when he was shot saved his life. The rest of Hunley’s crew included 3 american-born men and the 4 european-born men. As the Hunley approached USS Housatonic, Housatonic’s crew spotted the Hunley upon close approach. In a state of disarray and surprise, the Housatonic’s crew were unable to successfully defend themselves from the attack and Hunley’s torpedo quickly jammed in the Housatonic’s hull, resulting in it’s detonation. Five minutes after the blast it was apparent that Housatonic began taking on water and it’s crew rushed to their lifeboats. Five crew members of the Housatonic went down with the ship as it quickly sank into the depths Charleston Harbour. After the successful attack the Hunley surfaced and made lantern signals indicating the submarine would start it’s return to the confederate base. The signal was witnessed by the confederate base and even by some of the crew members of the Housatonic who were awaiting rescue in their life vessels. The Hunley never returned to its base. It’s probable that the sub incurred damage from it’s own torpedo explosion. Despite the loss of the Hunley, the small submarine would go down in history as the first underwater vessel to successfully sink a ship. Rediscovery of the Hunley The wreck of the Hunley was found in 1970 laying in silt on it’s starboard side in 27 feet of water. The Hunley’s contents were predicted to be worth over 40 million dollars. In 2000, Naval Historical Center’s Underwater Archaeology Branch took on the task of raising the submarine after careful investigation. Harnesses were slipped underneath the sub and Hunley was slowly raised until she saw the first light of day in 136 years. The Hunley was later placed in a fresh tank of water at Warren Lasch Conservation Center in Charleston. The remains of Hunley’s crew were later identified and received proper burial with full military honors in Charleston’s Magnolia Cemetery. First Lieutenant George Dixon’s life saving coin from the battle of Shiloh was found among the Hunley’s contents, thus affirming an old legend. Today the Hunley can be visited at the Warren Lasch Conservation Center in Charleston, where archaeologists continue to study the famed submarine during the weekdays. For more information visit:
