“Representing, arguably, the greatest breakthroughs in aircraft technology, the Harrier was the first VSTOL-capable (vertical/short takeoff and landing) jet in the Marine inventory, giving MAGTF commanders new flexibility on the battlefield. With the ability to attack anywhere, the Harrier forces the enemy to defend everywhere, exposing vulnerabilities the enemy must divert resources to protect.” Source/Link: http://www.marines.com/
“All-weather fighter and attack aircraft. The single-seat F/A-18 Hornet is the nation’s first strike-fighter. It was designed for traditional strike applications such as interdiction and close air support without compromising its fighter capabilities. With its excellent fighter and self-defense capabilities, the F/A-18 at the same time increases strike mission survivability and supplements the F-14 Tomcat in fleet air defense. F/A-18 Hornets are currently operating in 37 tactical squadrons from air stations world-wide, and from 10 aircraft carriers. The U.S. Navy’s Blue Angels Flight Demonstration Squadron proudly flies them. The Hornet comprises the aviation strike force for seven foreign customers including Canada, Australia, Finland, Kuwait, Malaysia, Spain and Switzerland.” Source/Link: http://www.navy.mil/navydata/
“The T-45A Goshawk is a tandem-seat, carrier capable, jet trainer whose mission is to train Navy and Marine Corps pilots. The T-45A aircraft, the Navy version of the British Aerospace Hawk aircraft, is used for intermediate and advanced portions of the Navy/Marine Corps pilot training program for jet carrier aviation and tactical strike missions. The T-45A has replaced the T-2 Buckeye trainer and the TA-4 trainer with an integrated training system that includes the T-45A Goshawk aircraft, operations and instrument fighter simulators, academics, and training integration system. There are two versions of T-45 aircraft currently in operational use at this time, the T-45A and T-45C derivatives. The T-45A, which became operational in 1991, contains an analog design cockpit while the new T-45C (began delivery in December 1997) is built around a new digital “glass cockpit” design.” Source/Link: http://www.navy.mil/navydata/

“The A-10 Thunderbolt II, also known as the Warthog, is a twin-engine aircraft that provides close-air support of ground forces and employs a wide variety of conventional munitions, including general purpose bombs. The simple, effective and survivable single-seat aircraft can be used against all ground targets, including tanks and other armored vehicles. The aircraft is currently supporting operations in Afghanistan and Iraq.” Credit: Boeing, http://www.boeing.com/boeing/
“The McDonnell Douglas F-15 Eagle, after more than 25 years of service, was still the U.S. Air Force’s premier fighter as the year 2000 approached. It is the only aircraft in the U.S. Air Force arsenal capable of launching the ASAT anti-satellite missile. It also serves with the air forces of Israel, Japan and Saudi Arabia. The F-15 constantly is upgraded to include state-of-the-art equipment. It can penetrate enemy defenses and can outperform and outfight any current or projected enemy. The Eagle’s air superiority is due to its advanced avionics, its range and weaponry, and its unprecedented maneuverability. One person can effectively perform air-to-air combat using its advanced systems to detect, acquire, track and attack enemy aircraft.” Credit: Boeing, http://www.boeing.com/boeing/
“The MQ-9 Reaper is an armed, multi-mission, medium-altitude, long-endurance remotely piloted aircraft that is employed primarily as an intelligence-collection asset and secondarily against dynamic execution targets. Given its significant loiter time, wide-range sensors, multi-mode communications suite, and precision weapons — it provides a unique capability to perform strike, coordination, and reconnaissance against high-value, fleeting, and time-sensitive targets.” Source/Link: http://www.af.mil/AboutUs/
F-16 Fighting Falcon
“The F-16 Fighting Falcon is a compact, multi-role fighter aircraft. It is highly maneuverable and has proven itself in air-to-air combat and air-to-surface attack. It provides a relatively low-cost, high-performance weapon system for the United States and allied nations. In an air combat role, the F-16’s maneuverability and combat radius (distance it can fly to enter air combat, stay, fight and return) exceed that of all potential threat fighter aircraft. It can locate targets in all weather conditions and detect low flying aircraft in radar ground clutter. In an air-to-surface role, the F-16 can fly more than 500 miles (860 kilometers), deliver its weapons with superior accuracy, defend itself against enemy aircraft, and return to its starting point. An all-weather capability allows it to accurately deliver ordnance during non-visual bombing conditions.” Source/Link: http://www.af.mil/AboutUs/
Carrying the largest payload of both guided and unguided weapons in the Air Force inventory, the multi-mission B-1 is the backbone of America’s long-range bomber force. It can rapidly deliver massive quantities of precision and non-precision weapons against any adversary, anywhere in the world, at any time. The B-1B’s blended wing/body configuration, variable-geometry wings and turbofan afterburning engines, combine to provide long range, maneuverability and high speed while enhancing survivability. Forward wing settings are used for takeoff, landings, air refueling and in some high-altitude weapons employment scenarios. Aft wing sweep settings – the main combat configuration — are typically used during high subsonic and supersonic flight, enhancing the B-1B’s maneuverability in the low- and high-altitude regimes. The B-1B’s speed and superior handling characteristics allow it to seamlessly integrate in mixed force packages. These capabilities, when combined with its substantial payload, excellent radar targeting system, long loiter time and survivability, make the B-1B a key element of any joint/composite strike force
“The B-52 is a long-range, heavy bomber that can perform a variety of missions. The bomber is capable of flying at high subsonic speeds at altitudes up to 50,000 feet (15,166.6 meters). It can carry nuclear or precision guided conventional ordnance with worldwide precision navigation capability.” Source/Link: http://www.af.mil/AboutUs/
“The T-38 Talon is a twin-engine, high-altitude, supersonic jet trainer used in a variety of roles because of its design, economy of operations, ease of maintenance, high performance and exceptional safety record. Air Education and Training Command is the primary user of the T-38 for joint specialized undergraduate pilot training. Air Combat Command, Air Force Materiel Command and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration also use the T-38A in various roles.” Source/Link: http://www.af.mil/AboutUs/
“The North American Aviation T-6 Texan two-place advanced trainer was the classroom for most of the Allied pilots who flew in World War II. Called the SNJ by the Navy and the Harvard by the British Royal Air Force, the advanced trainer AT-6 was designed as a transition trainer between basic trainers and first-line tactical aircraft. It was redesignated T-6 in 1948. In all, the T-6 trained several hundred thousand pilots in 34 different countries over a period of 25 years. A total of 15,495 of the planes were made. Though most famous as a trainer, the T-6 Texan also won honors in World War II and in the early days of the Korean War.” Source/Link: http://www.boeing.com/history/
“The T-1A Jayhawk is a medium-range, twin-engine jet trainer used in the advanced phase of specialized undergraduate pilot training for students selected to fly airlift or tanker aircraft. It is also used to support navigator training for the U.S. Air Force, Navy, Marine Corps and international services. The swept-wing T-1A is a military version of the Beech 400A. It has cockpit seating for an instructor and two students and is powered by twin turbofan engines capable of an operating speed of 538 mph. The T-1A differs from its commercial counterpart with structural enhancements that provide for increased bird strike resistance and an additional fuselage fuel tank.” Source/Link: http://www.af.mil/AboutUs/
“An exceptionally well-conceived and well-built Navy trainer, the SNJ entered service before World War II and served into the 1950s, ubiquitous in the training programs of the Navy and Air Force. Two generations of Naval Aviators trained in the SNJ, and a number of aviators made their first carrier landings in the aircraft. The SNJ Texan, with over 17,000 examples delivered to the U.S. military and numerous foreign nations, was the most widely used trainer ever. The earliest version was an open cockpit monoplane with fixed landing gear and a fabric covered fuselage, but with the 1938 introduction of the SNJ-1, the Texan had evolved into an all-metal aircraft with retractable landing gear.” Source/Link: http://www.
“The Kaydet, the two-seater biplane introduced by Stearman Aircraft Division of Boeing in Wichita, Kan., in 1934, became an unexpected success during World War II. Despite its almost obsolete design, its simple, rugged construction made it ideal as a trainer for novice pilots for the U.S. Army Air Corps (PT-13/-17) and Navy (NS/N2S).” Source/Link: http://www.boeing.com/history/
“Few aircraft are as well known, were so widely used or used as long as the C-47. Affectionately nicknamed the “Gooney Bird,” this aircraft was adapted from the Douglas DC-3 commercial airliner. The U.S. Army Air Corps ordered its first C-47s in 1940, and by the end of World War II, procured a total of 9,348. These C-47s carried personnel and cargo around the globe. They also towed troop-carrying gliders, dropped paratroops into enemy territory, and air evacuated sick or wounded patients. A C-47 could carry 28 passengers, 18-22 fully equipped paratroopers, about 6,000 lbs. of cargo or 18 stretchers and three medical personnel.” Source/Link: http://www.nationalmuseum.af.
“The C-45 was the World War II military version of the popular Beechcraft Model 18 commercial light transport. Beech built a total of 4,526 of these aircraft for the Army Air Forces between 1939 and 1945 in four versions, the AT-7 Navigator navigation trainer, the AT-11 Kansan bombing-gunnery trainer, the C-45 Expeditor utility transport and the F-2 for aerial photography and mapping. The AT-7 and AT-11 versions were well-known to WWII navigators and bombardiers, for most of these men received their training in these aircraft. Thousands of AAF pilot cadets also were given advanced training in twin-engine Beech airplanes.” Source/Link: http://www.nationalmuseum.af.
EXPERIMENTAL / CIVILIAN
“The Cessna 190 and 195 Businessliner are a family of light single radial engine powered, conventional landing gear equipped, general aviation aircraft which were manufactured by Cessna between 1947 and 1954. The 195 model was also used by the United States Air Force, Air National Guard and Army as a light transport and utility aircraft under the designation LC-126.” Source/Link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/
“The Cessna 120 was an economy version of the 140 produced at the same time. It had the same engine as the 140, but lacked wing flaps. The rear-cabin “D” side windows and electrical system (radios, lights, battery and starter) were optional. A 120 outfitted with every factory option would be nearly equivalent to a 140, but the International Cessna 120/140 Association believes that no 120s were originally built this way. Despite this, many decades’ worth of owner-added options have rendered many 120s almost indistinguishable from a 140 aside from the absence of wing flaps. The 120 was dropped from production upon introduction of the 140A in 1949.” Source/Link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/
“The Van’s RV-9 and RV-9A are two-seat, single-engine, low-wing homebuilt airplanes sold in kit form by Van’s Aircraft. The RV-9 is the tail-wheel equipped version while the RV-9A features a nose-wheel. The RV-9 was built around a newly designed high aspect ratio wing, featuring a Roncz airfoil. It is similar in size and weight to RV-6 and is externally similar to the RV-6 and the RV-7.” Source/Link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/
“The Howard DGA-6 was a pioneer racing plane, nicknamed Mister Mulligan. It was the only airplane ever designed for the specific purpose of winning the Bendix Trophy. The plane was designed and developed by Ben Howard and Gordon Israel, who later became an engineer for the Grumman Aircraft Engineering Corporation. Mister Mulligan was designed to fly the entire length of the race nonstop and at high altitude. Neither had ever been done before. Mister Mulligan won the trophy, and thus changed the way in which long distance airplanes were designed.” Source/Link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/
“The Beechcraft Bonanza is an American general aviation aircraft introduced in 1947 by Beech Aircraft Corporation of Wichita, Kansas. The six-seater, single-engine aircraft is still being produced by Beechcraft and has been in continuous production longer than any other airplane in history. More than 17,000 Bonanzas of all variants have been built,produced in both distinctive V-tail as well as conventional T-tail configurations.” Source/Link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/
GippsAero GA8 Airvan
The GippsAero GA8 Airvan is just one of many platforms used by the Civil Air Patrol, United States Air Force Auxiliary, which flies 18 Airvans for Search and Rescue operations, of which 16 carry the Airborne Real-time Cueing Hyperspectral Enhanced Reconnaissance (ARCHER) system, which can be used to search for aircraft wreckage based on its spectral signature, using visible and near-infrared light to examine the surface of the Earth and find suspected crash sites, evaluate areas affected by disasters, or examine foliage from an airborne perspective in order to flag possible marijuana plantations. Also equipped with the Satellite Digital Imaging System (SDIS). This system allows CAP to send back real-time images of a disaster or crash site to anyone with an e-mail address, allowing the mission coordinators to make more informed decisions. Both the SDIS and ARCHER systems were used to great success in the response to Hurricane Katrina. Civil Air Patrol, the official auxiliary of the U.S. Air Force, is a nonprofit organization with more than 60,000 members nationwide. CAP, in its Air Force auxiliary role, performs 90 percent of continental U.S. inland search and rescue missions as tasked by the Air Force Rescue Coordination Center and has been credited by the AFRCC with saving more than 100 lives this fiscal year. Its volunteers also perform homeland security, disaster relief and counterdrug missions at the request of federal, state and local agencies. The members play a leading role in aerospace education and serve as mentors to over 25,000 young people currently participating in CAP cadet programs. CAP has been performing missions for America for more than 68 years. For more information on CAP, visit gocivilairpatrol.com. | weapons_science |

Basically it’s the usage of physical force to counter an immediate threat of violence. Such force can be either armed or unarmed. Either way, the likelihood of success rely on a lot of parameters, linked to the severity of the threat on one hand, but additionally about the physical and mental preparedness with the defender. Many types of fighting styles are practiced for self defense or include self-defense techniques. Some styles train primarily for self defence, while other martial or combat sports could be effectively requested self-defense. Some fighting techniques train how to escape from a gun situation, or how you can break away from a punch, while others train how to attack. To provide better self-defense, many contemporary martial arts schools now use a combination of martial arts styles and methods, and definitely will often customize self-defence training to match the participants’ lifestyles, occupations, age brackets and gender, and mental and physical capabilities. Firearm, knife, tactical flashlight, tactical pen, pepper spray, stun gun, or perhaps a small impact weapon can be used as defensive weapons.
In certain countries, it’s legal to make use of or carry weapons (as an example knives, firearms or batons) for purposes of self-defence. In other countries, this might be illegal or may require permission, or some items could be legal to transport with no license, while others, most commonly firearms, aren’t. Limitations around the use of weapons for personal defense include controversy in a few countries, pitting self-defence rights against efforts to combat violent crime via restricting use of common weapons. Everyday objects, for example baseball bats, or aerosol spray cans along with a lighter, can also be used as improvised weapons for self-defense, but aren’t probably be as effective as purpose built weapons. Some non-lethal weapons as the Kubotan seemed to be designed to resemble everyday objects, for example key chains. Pepper spray and stun guns are non-lethal self defence alternatives, which are legal in some countries. Pepper sprays may have a range from 5-23 feet, and act by delivering a spray, foam, gel or liquid containing highly irritating chemicals that causes pain to the eyes, sneezing, and sometimes temporary blindness. | weapons_science |

Tom and Jerry are the nicknames for the two bronze 19th century field guns mounted above Bowman Field. They were installed in October 1951 after being stored for several years in the basement of the Shop Building on campus, and were given their nicknames by the Class of 1952. Both weapons are six-pounders, that is, the shot they fire weighs six pounds, but both brass barrels weigh over 800 pounds each.
Pershing Rifles
The pledges of Company C-4, Pershing Rifles, have to guard the cannon for approximately one week, 24 hours a day, in what is creatively known as "Cannon Week". They are also required to shine the guns, and at the conclusion of the week the commander of the company will shave using the reflection from the barrels.

Many of the writers I cite most frequently fall into this category, and probably none as much as Reyner Banham, whose legacy is that of a great architecture critic, but who could also be described as a technologist viewing the world through an architectural lens.
I was surprised, though, when Adam Tooze published a piece in May that used Banham’s 1965 essay “The Great Gizmo” to frame the war in Ukraine and, more specifically, the Javelin anti-tank missile system—which has come to epitomize that conflict’s David-vs-Goliath narrative by enabling small groups of infantry to challenge the Russian military’s armored vehicles.
Tooze’s essay begins with a brief summary of modern warfare’s technological evolution, which is largely a story of infantry (and cavalry) becoming obsolete as firepower grew more advanced, a trajectory that culminated with the tank itself during World War I. From that point onward, tanks would be the focus of ground warfare (“the question was, how to stop the tank?”), a focus that frequently assumed the form of tank-on-tank combat and aerial attacks. But because tanks are cumbersome—and expensive—they are also “extremely vulnerable to fast-moving, improvised attack by light infantry forces,” laying the foundation for the eventual emergence of anti-tank weaponry that an individual could carry on their person. The anti-tank guided missile (ATGM) would require its own technological refinements, which the subsequent decades supplied. “From the 1970s onward,” Tooze writes, “military experts have never stopped discussing: Does the ATGM spell the end of the tank? Might infantry have regained the upper hand?”
Concluding his historical summary at the present moment—with the Javelin’s role in Ukraine—Tooze sets up his essay’s central point: Infantry’s renewed potency against the tank is an illusion of man triumphing over machine. “With the anti-tank guided missile, the superficially inferior physical equipment of the human body is more than compensated for by the miraculous power of the technology in the human’s hands.” In the confrontation between Javelin-armed soldier and tank, in other words, it is not the soldier who stands to triumph, but the technology they wield.

Well the reason cops tend to shoot assailants with knifes quickly is that, believe it or not, knifes in some situations can be more dangerous than guns.
In fact there used to be a video on Youtube, that I could not longer find, that showed cops in an east Asian country trying to apprehend a guy with a knife without drawing their firearms. They probably thought it was safe to do so since there was 5 cops, but the guy with the knife stabbed and/or slashed 4 of the cops before one of them could draw their firearms and shoot the guy.
Even though I could not find that video I found 2 others than are pertinent here, along with one article, that exemplifies why people who do not want to be arrested and have a knife can be so dangerous. Please watch these two videos and read the article below.
Please also share this video with friends and family, in your groups or with anyone who might not really appreciative the cops and the necessary job that they do. Share this especially if you see someone who is outright hateful towards the cops because there is a war going on against cops.
VIDEO DESCRIPTION: The ultimate question: what distance should you keep when dealing with an attacker armed with a knife? We tested this with two spec ops veterans, a REX Zero 1 FX handgun and a dummy knife. See the results for yourself.
VIDEO DESCRIPTION: A demonstration of the damage done by some common easily accessible knives. A single slash on a pigs leg. The knives used are a box cutter or craft knife, a semi sharp vegetable knife, a larger semi sharp kitchen knife, a small sharp folding knife. This information is to educate people about the dangers of knives for self defence purposes.
1. Knives Are Deadlier
Yes, you read that right…
According to FBI fatality stats from officers killed in a fight, 10% of those who were shot died from their wounds.
But 30% of those who were attacked with a knife were killed as a result of being cut and stabbed.
2. Knives Don’t Have A Line Of Fire
A gun can only kill you if you’re in the direct line of the path of the bullet.
That also explains why , even in ranges as close as 3′-6′, only about 1 in 4 bullets actually hit the target – and these stats are from trained police officers!
But knives can do lethal damage from any angle and they don’t miss their target.
3. Knives Don’t Run Out Of Ammo
In a close quarters attack, you could be stabbed 3-5 times in a single second.
A handgun is only going to give you about 15 rounds or so (on the high end).
Unless you’re behind cover or at a distance far enough to give you some time to reload, that’s all you’re going to get.
And FBI stats also reveal that only 1 in 4 bullets ever hit their mark – even at ranges as close as 3′.
Considering that it may take several rounds to finally stop an attacker, you may find your clip empty and still facing an enraged thug with a knife that’s not running out of metal.
4. Knives Take No Skill To Use
Since we were young, holding and cutting with a knife has been built into our natural abilities.
While it takes lots and lots of training to become an expert with a firearm, any scumbag with a pointy piece of metal can wield a blade like a master with even the crudest of movements.
Consider also that most gun owners who go to the range are practicing “target shooting” and aren’t prepared for how to shoot in a real close-quarters gunfight.
5. Knives Give Little Warning
Not only can knives be concealed and drawn easier than a firearm, but they’re silent killers.
When a gun is fired, you know you’re in a gunfight.
However, many victims in a knife attack claim they didn’t even know they were being stabbed until it was too late.
When under the influence of the adrenaline rush of a real attack, you may in fact not feel yourself being cut and mistake it for simply being punched. | weapons_science |

It is highlighted by its extremely high rate of fire but incredibly low accuracy. Still though, this weapon type is a force to be reckoned with if you know how to use it.
Machine Gun StrengthsEdit
The machine gun's most recognizable trait is its huge rate of fire. With the Minigun, the rps can exceed 13, and the damage is still usually higher than SMG's. The AUG is a high damage, single fire machine gun that plays differently than the others, but is still an effective variation. Many machine guns also have ammo belts, meaning they don't constantly have to reload.
Machine Gun WeaknessesEdit
The machine gun's accuracy is... well... not so good,it is less than 40% for some guns. This makes it very hard to hit enemies at long or even medium range with these weapons. Most machine-guns have decent enough accuracy to be effective at medium range, however. DO NOT try to engage a Sniper or even an Engineer at long range, you will lose.
Recommended Use With Edit
A balanced pistol. Because the machine gun has such low damage-per-shot and range, you probably want a pistol like the Automag that has good range and damage for extra attack power.
Melee weapons can also work if you have a more accurate machine-gun, as they can be a great point-blank back-up.
Recommended use AgainstEdit
If you have a less accurate, more CQC-oriented machine gun like the Minigun or IAR, you should be wary of shotgun-toting Juggernauts and Generals. If your Machine gun is a more balanced variation, such as the Cerberus or LSW, than you should be able to put them down, provided you stay out of range. | weapons_science |

It was Sir Ernest Rutherford, considered the ‘father of nuclear physics ‘, who first became conscious of the energy trapped in an atom. While examining the outcome of an experiment conducted by John Cockcroft and Ernest Walton, the latter being his doctoral student, he realized the massive amount of energy produced in the ‘splitting’ of an atom. However, he also pointed out that looking for a stable source of energy in such a process was pointless, since the energy required to split an atom of a light element was so much that the surplus output came up to a paltry amount. While this notion holds true for lighter elements even to this day, the scientific world was yet to achieve the capability of heavy, radioactive elements to develop a highly energy-efficient fission chain reaction.
In the fission reactions (whether spontaneous or induced) nuclei of atoms with high atomic number (heavy), for example, uranium, thorium, and plutonium break producing nuclei with atomic number lower, reducing its total mass and releasing a large number of energy. The process of induced fission is used to generate energy in nuclear power plants. The first atomic bombs of the type dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, were on the basis of the principle of nuclear fission. It should be noted that in this connection the term atomic is absolutely incorrect, or at least inappropriate because the processes involved are in contrast to the nuclear, involving the nuclei of atoms and the atoms themselves.
Makes you wonder!
Fusion reactions in the nuclei of atoms with low atomic number, such as hydrogen, tritium, or deuterium, fuse giving rise to heavier nuclei and releasing a substantial amount of energy (much larger than that released in fission, with the same amount of nuclear reactions involved).
And Now For More Fissile Material
In nature, the fusion reactions are those that produce energy from the stars. So far, despite decades of efforts by researchers around the world, hasn’t yet been carried out in a stable, controlled fusion reactions on Earth even if it is developing the ITER project, a project that will provide the successor DEMO create the first nuclear fusion in the world. However, it is now possible to have large amounts of energy through fusion reactions such as uncontrolled, for example, the hydrogen bomb.
To understand nuclear power, we must first have a basic understanding of the format of the atom and the phenomena of radioactivity. Those who’re already familiar with what I’m about to explain may skip the theoretical illustrations.
Fission is widely practiced and constitutes, in simple terms, the ‘splitting up’ of a heavy nucleus, such as that of uranium or plutonium, to produce energy along with a set of lighter elements and various nuclear by-products.
Nuclear fusion, on the other hand, constitutes joining two lighter atoms together to develop a heavier atom. It produces much more energy than fission reactions. However, as I will explain further in the article, the full potential of nuclear fusion hasn’t yet been realized, and sufficient research hasn’t been taken to enable it being used on a commercial scale.
The process of nuclear fission was discovered by Otto Hahn in 1938. Hahn was an eminent German chemist, renowned not only in order to his academic merits, but also because of his open opposition of Nazi Germany’s anti-Semitic policy. He discovered that neutron bombardment of uranium produced barium and krypton along with neutrons. Hahn was, at first, baffled by the outcome of his experiments. This didn’t fit the existing scientific paradigm as nuclear fission hadn’t been invented yet. His exiled colleague, Lise Meitner, confirmed that the outcome was due to nuclear fission. Meitner’s cousin, Otto Frisch, confirmed Hahn’s results experimentally. Since then, nuclear power has risen in prominence, both as a useful boon and a destructive bane. While nuclear power remains the most efficient power source available to mankind right now, the ever-present threats of the risky nuclear technology, ably illustrated by the nuclear bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki and the Chernobyl and Fukushima-Daiichi reactor accidents, cannot just be ignored.
Coming to the purpose of this article, nuclear power is widely being harnessed across the world in an attempt to reduce the global dependence on depleting stores of fossil fuels. But is nuclear energy really the ‘wonder fuel’ it’s made out to be? Let’s find out.
The technology used for generating nuclear power can also serve to produce nuclear weapons. Left in the wrong hands, such as terrorist or extremist groups, nuclear technology could lay the groundwork for a global disaster.
Accidents in nuclear reactors are far more devastating than those in conventional energy plants. Despite being a much rarer occurrence, individual nuclear disasters are much more deadly than, say, fossil fuel disasters. To be fair, the collective number of fatalities from nuclear accidents underwhelm those from conventional energy plants. However, apart from the immediate blast radius, a nuclear explosion (weapon detonation/reactor core meltdown) is also terrifyingly active in its thermal and ionizing radii. Radiation from the core can cause genetic abnormalities in the population. This can be carried on for generations. Long-term aftereffects of the Hiroshima-Nagasaki nuclear explosions continue to manifest in Japanese population even to this day.
Building a nuclear power plant takes a series of years. Although extensive research is undertaken before initiating such a project, there is no guarantee that the conditions necessary for the power plant’s maximum usage would prevail through the length of its construction. The changing energy demographics could alter conditions in such a way as to make the under-construction nuclear power plant redundant with increasing research in a number of other energy sources.
The operating principle of a nuclear power plant is identical to that of a thermal/ steam power plant. The only difference is that in nuclear power plant the energy required for the generation of steam is derived from nuclear fission. The process of power generation in a nuclear power plant is explained step by step below.
Uranium mining operations can prove to be hazardous for the health status of miners and the surrounding population. If necessary safety precautions aren’t observed, radioactive contamination can spread, even to the other generation. | weapons_science |
http://news.wfsu.org/post/us-isnt-buying-north-koreas-claim-h-bomb-test | 2018-10-22T14:34:53 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-43/segments/1539583515088.88/warc/CC-MAIN-20181022134402-20181022155902-00061.warc.gz | 0.960315 | 1,428 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | webtext-fineweb__CC-MAIN-2018-43__0__244525522 | en | North Korea was celebratory in its claims that it detonated its first hydrogen bomb on Wednesday.
"Through the test conducted with indigenous wisdom, technology and efforts [North Korea] fully proved that the technological specifications of the newly developed H-bomb for the purpose of test were accurate and scientifically verified the power of smaller H-bomb," the country's official news agency reported.
But the White House, along with many others, isn't buying it.
"The initial analysis is not consistent with the North Korean claims of a successful hydrogen bomb test," White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest said in a briefing.
South Korean officials have also questioned the North Korean claim.
Independent experts share these doubts for one simple reason: The big bang from North Korea's test just isn't big enough.
Nuclear weapons come in two varieties: fission weapons and fusion weapons. These days, the fission weapons are the ones that usually make the headlines. They get their explosive power from the splitting, or fission, of heavy elements like uranium and plutonium. The fission releases energy that can be used in a bomb.
Fusion, on the other hand, gets its power from fusing light elements, such as hydrogen, together. The fusing of light atoms actually releases more energy than the splitting of heavy ones. So hydrogen bombs are far more powerful.
Rough estimates of North Korea's test on Wednesday range from a few kilotons of explosive power to a few tens of kilotons.
By contrast, the first U.S. test of a hydrogen bomb in 1952 was 10.4 megatons, roughly a thousand times as powerful.
"The apparent yield of the [North Korean] event is too small," says Jeffrey Lewis, of the Middlebury Institute of International Studies at Monterey.
So what could North Korea have done instead?
One possibility, suggests Lewis, is that it set off a "boosted" fission bomb. Such a weapon uses a small amount of hydrogen gas at its core to enhance the explosion of the uranium or the plutonium in the weapon. Since boosting technically involves the fusion of hydrogen, North Korea could call this test a "hydrogen bomb."
It may be possible to glean further clues about what exactly North Korea has done. The isolated nation is surrounded by International monitoring stations of the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty Organization, which seeks to track nuclear testing worldwide.
Although the test was conducted underground, tiny quantities of radioactive xenon gas could be picked up by detectors hundreds or even thousands of miles away.
The exact composition of the xenon could yield clues about what kind of bomb it was, says Anders Ringbom, research director of the Swedish Defence Research Agency in Stockholm. "We believe in principle that it could be possible," he says.
Yet so far, he adds, the stations haven't seen anything.
UNIDENTIFIED WOMAN: (Speaking Korean).
AUDIE CORNISH, HOST:
That was an North Korean state television news reader announcing the country had tested a hydrogen bomb. If true, it would be a first for Pyongyang. Now, this afternoon, the White House cast doubt on the ability of the isolated nation to test such an advanced weapon. Here's Press Secretary Josh Earnest speaking to reporters.
(SOUNDBITE OF PRESS CONFERENCE)
JOSH EARNEST: The initial analysis that's been conducted of the events that were reported overnight is not consistent with North Korean claims of a successful hydrogen bomb test.
CORNISH: Coming up, we'll speak to a former State Department official about what North Korea hopes to gain by conducting the nuclear test. First, joining me in the studio is NPR science correspondent Geoff Brumfiel to talk about the claims from Pyongyang. Geoff, welcome to the studio.
GEOFF BRUMFIEL, BYLINE: Thank you.
CORNISH: The White House sounds fairly confident there that this was not a hydrogen bomb test. What are they basing this on?
BRUMFIEL: Well, when a nuclear weapon is tested, it sends off a shockwave through the earth. It's basically like an earthquake. And seismic stations around the world can pick that up, and they can make some sort of estimate about the size. Based on what was observed, the unofficial estimates by the Pentagon say this was under 10 kilotons. That's 10,000 tons of TNT-equivalent explosives. But the bottom line is that seems too small to be a hydrogen bomb. Just for comparison here, the first hydrogen bomb was 10 megatons. That's 10 million tons of TNT - a thousand times more powerful. It would make this thing look like a firecracker.
CORNISH: We should note that North Korea has, as far as what's known, tested three atom bombs. Now, what makes hydrogen bombs harder to build?
BRUMFIEL: There's basically two ways to make a nuclear explosion. You can either split apart heavy atoms like uranium and plutonium, and that splitting apart, called fission, releases energy. Or you can fuse together light atoms such as hydrogen. That's where the hydrogen bomb comes from. Causing those atoms to stick together is a lot harder than splitting them apart. In fact, you have to set off a fission bomb to make a hydrogen bomb work, so it's technically much more complicated.
CORNISH: So if this wasn't an H-bomb, what was it? I mean, could it have been a replica of the previous atom bomb test?
BRUMFIEL: Yeah, it could have been a standard nuclear bomb. And I don't want to - I say standard. That kind of downplays it. I mean, this would still be a bomb roughly the size of those used on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, so this is still a very serious thing. But there is another possibility, which is that North Korea put a little bit of hydrogen at the center of their bomb, and then they used that hydrogen to enhance the fission bomb. That would allow them to claim they had conducted an H-bomb test even though it wasn't quite what we would consider a hydrogen bomb.
CORNISH: We know what the White House thinks, but in the end, how will the international community verify what happened?
BRUMFIEL: Well, we may never be able to say much more, but there is a possibility that radioactive gases will leak out. These tests are conducted underground, and so we have to wait for that to happen. It could take days or even weeks. There are monitoring stations all around North Korea in Russia, China, places like that. And if they pick something up, if they catch a whiff, we may learn more about exactly what happened.
CORNISH: That's NPR science correspondent Geoff Brumfiel. Geoff, thanks.
BRUMFIEL: Thank you. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR. | weapons_science |

Join Sam Harris in two conversations about nuclear weapons and the risk of nuclear war and mutually assured destruction.
In the first conversation, Sam Harris speaks with Fred Kaplan about the ever-present threat of nuclear war. They discuss the history of nuclear deterrence, U.S. first-strike policy, preventive war, limited nuclear war, tactical vs. strategic weapons, Trump's beliefs about nuclear weapons, the details of command and control, and other topics.
Fred Kaplan is the national-security columnist for Slate and the author of five previous books, Dark Territory: The Secret History of Cyber War, The Insurgents: David Petraeus and the Plot to Change the American Way of War (a Pulitzer Prize finalist and New York Times bestseller), 1959, Daydream Believers, and The Wizards of Armageddon. His latest book is The Bomb: Presidents, Generals, and the Secret History of Nuclear War.
In the second conversation, Sam Harris speaks with William J. Perry and Lisa Perry about the ever-present threat of nuclear war. They discuss the history of nuclear weapons, the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the Cuban Missile Crisis, the present threat of accidental nuclear war, nuclear terrorism, unilateral disarmament, the psychology of deterrence, tactical nuclear weapons, cybersecurity, details of command and control, nuclear proliferation, the steps we could take toward safety, strategic missile defense, nuclear winter, and other topics.
William J. Perry served as the U.S. Undersecretary of Defense for Research and Engineering in the Carter administration and then as the 19th U.S. Secretary of Defense in the Clinton administration. He oversaw the development of the strategic nuclear systems that are currently in our arsenal. His new offset strategy ushered in the age of stealth, smart weapons, GPS, and technologies that changed the face of modern warfare.
In 2015, he founded the William J. Perry Project, outlining his vision of a world free from nuclear weapons, and educating the public on the urgent but practical steps that could be taken to reduce nuclear dangers.
Dr. Perry has now co-authored a new book—THE BUTTON: The New Nuclear Arms Race and Presidential Power from Truman to Trump—which recounts the terrifying history of nuclear launch authority, with firsthand testimonies from the front lines of our nation's nuclear history.
He is the Michael and Barbara Berberian Professor (emeritus) at Stanford University. At 92 years old, he continues to travel the world in pursuit of his goal of reducing the threat from nuclear weapons.
Lisa Perry is the Communications Director for The William J. Perry Project. The granddaughter of Secretary Perry, she has dedicated her career to sounding the alarm about the modern threat of nuclear weapons for the post cold war generations. Lisa is committed to empowering the public by breaking down the complex issues surrounding these weapons.
At the Brink is a new podcast about humanity's most terrifying weapon and the stories of those who have shaped its history. When former Secretary of Defense William Perry declared he believed that the danger of a nuclear catastrophe was greater today than any time in history, his granddaughter, Lisa Perry, set out to discover why. Featuring the personal stories of presidents, cabinet members, congressmen, nuclear physicists, atomic bomb survivors, military officials, and activists, At The Brink is a primer for every world citizen to learn how close we've come to disaster, and how we can still step back from the nuclear brink. | weapons_science |

March 16, 2017
Hang on for a minute...we're trying to find some more stories you might like.

North Korea’s quest for power is slowly coming to fruition. On March 6th, North Korea launched five ballistic missiles, four of which landed in Japan’s exclusive economic zone. This military unit is said to be tasked with targeting U.S. bases in Japan, according to Korean Central News Agency. Kim Jung Un, the leader of North Korea, supervised the tests and was said to be pleased with the results. News reports also say that this test was seen as a surprise to U.S. intelligence.
These missiles were launched simultaneously for a reason. If an attack were to actually happen, launching multiple missiles on a single target would overwhelm a missile defense system and most likely still achieve its goal. A correspondent for CNN said in an interview, “They’re putting together salvos of missiles that may be harder to defeat, so three, four missiles going to the same place, maybe from different places. That’s the thing that’s going to be a little bit harder, not impossible, but a little bit harder to defeat.”
The missiles themselves were not very accurate missiles and also not nuclear capable. However, these missiles were not North Korea’s most advanced missiles. North Korea has been working up to long range missiles that could house nuclear capabilities and also reach the U.S. However, North Korea has been questionable in their effort to have those missiles survive the full flight of re-entering Earth’s atmosphere.
The new U.S. national security advisor, H.R. McMaster, has been said to be in contact with South Korean officials in an effort to increase pressure on North Korea and implement more effective sanctions. Former President Barrack Obama warned the then incoming president about what he thought was the largest foreign threat – North Korea. The Trump administration has said this is a “very serious threat” and has also said they are prepared to use “the full range of capabilities.” Thus still allowing the possibility of a military response.
North Korea only has the power to be at a full scale war for a very short amount of time. Approximately a week. If North Korea were to face a war with the U.S. and most likely also South Korea, they would lose almost instantly. This is why North Korea has been chasing after nuclear weapons for so long. The threat of nuclear war is something neither the U.S, South Korea or any country wants. This is where the MAD (Mutually Assured Destruction) strategy comes into play. This is also the same strategy the U.S. and Russia used in the cold war. Essentially, if you fire nukes on us, we fire nukes on you, and we’re all dead.
It’s questionable what exactly could happen in the future. The only real attacks on North Korea by the U.S. have been cyber attacks. The U.S. has been reported to attempt hacks on North Korea in order to slow their missile progress until new political roles in the North take place. These hacks most likely had their start under Obama. | weapons_science |

The laser gun is made of a modified laser pointer with a pistol handle and a pulse-shaped laser beam that resembles a bullet passing through.
This shooting target is made of a stainless steel cup. There is a hole in the center of the target paper, if the laser beam hits the center (bulls eye), then the laser beam enters the cup, and will be reflected. Since the target paper is smaller than the cup's mouth, the reflected laser beam can be seen as a luminous outer ring.
See the following video:
An electronic circuit can be applied to this shooting target to create chime sound like bell or like steel hit by a bullet when bullseye. See the following video: | weapons_science |

One of the great joys of improving your marksmanship skills is the gradual adjustment of your equipment to perfectly fit your carry needs and shooting style. The best build for a given firearm is always going to be a matter of personal taste and objective goals, so the key to making a great upgrade plan is understanding what you want to do and what upgrades will support you best.
The right upgrade to your sights can make a huge difference in any shooting scenario, but not all scenarios call for the same tactics. Red dot optical sights are a great way to understand exactly where you are pointing, but on their own they don’t provide magnification, so their range is limited by your own eyesight. Of course, most people upgrading gen5 Glock pistols are looking for short to medium-range targeting, so the additional magnification provided by a full scope is not likely to be a utilitarian choice. Magnifying reticles, on the other hand, could provide just the right amount of clarity to allow for pinpoint targeting.
Carry Essentials for a Comfortable Draw
As you plan your carry, think deeply about how your firearm sits and where you have to reach for it. Competition holsters prioritize ease of draw and convenient location over stealth, whereas concealed holsters attempt to balance the two. Finding the right storage for your weapon means having it at hand smoothly when you need it, and since many pistol competitions require you to draw from the holster, a comfortable, correctly sized choice that seats the Glock in an easy to reach spot is essential. The less motion you need to get up on a target from a fully holstered position, the better.
Additional Magazines and Other Accessories
Sights and holsters are essential for any firearm customization, but they are only the beginning. Additional magazines, either with stock capacities or additional rounds, are very common since they allow you to prepare for several rounds of shooting without stopping to reload between each. That lets you use your time at the range more efficiently, it keeps you prepared during competition, and it provides extra ammunition quickly in the field if you use your firearm for hunting support. Most Glock owners would not be keen to work with a pistol as a primary hunting firearm, but as an additional carry for dangerous game, like wild pigs, it can be a great insurance policy. | weapons_science |

There are over 650 people imprisoned in Rhode Island who have not been convicted of a crime. Most of them simply cannot afford bail. Our system of bail punishes the poor and forces people into debt with bail bondsmen. This becomes a vicious cycle that keeps them where they are. Locking people up costs tax payers $120 per inmate per day - Rhode Island spends four times more on inmates than on schoolkids. This is a broken system that needs to be fixed.
Allow Concealed Carry
We should only have restrictions on gun laws that are enforceable. Our current restrictions on concealed carry means that law abiding citizens cannot carry guns while criminals do, because unless the police carry out random routine pat down searches, there is no way to enforce the conceal carry restrictions. Law-abiding citizens should be able to get a concealed carry permit after undergoing background check and completing an appropriate safety and liability course.
Assault rifles are defined by having features such as barrel shroud, detachable magazine, or pistol grip. A barrel shroud protects the shooter from the hot barrel after rapidly firing many rounds. Detachable magazine, as opposed to a fixed magazine where bullets must be loaded into the rifle individually, allow a higher rate of fire. A pistol grip allows for easy but inaccurate shooting from the hip. There is little practical application in our society for a weapon capable of spraying rounds inaccurately. The burden on society outweighs the gun collector's right to enjoy this type of firearm. This is the same reason why grenades and machine guns are illegal to own. | weapons_science |

This sort of ammo is known as a tracer, because they can be seen in the dark. Tracer bbs are normally used in combination with a tool that expenses the bbs with a flash of mild if they leave the barrel. They, then, remain luminescent whilst in flight.
The tracers “charger” is normally hidden as a muzzle suppressor, or silencer, or are hidden inside the actual magazine. The glow-in-the-dark Airsoft bbs may also be produced as biodegradable, as well.
Paint-filled bbs are also made, but aren’t commonly used. The occurrence of the thin external shells being punctured in the barrel can cause substantial harm to the interior of the barrel and thus aren’t used as often.
Among the main areas of Airsoft bbs is the weight of the Airsoft ammo. The light the ammunition, the less accurate. The heavier the ammunition, the smaller the range. However, this may also depend on the Airsoft guns, as well. Normal size Airsoft bbs are between six millimeters and eight millimeters.
But, getting into account velocity and trajectory can gain you in the extended run. As an example, lighter Airsoft bbs will have the ability to achieve larger velocities, but is likely to be heavily 5.7x28 by breeze and air friction, making them less accurate.
Weightier Airsoft bbs will be more correct, but may have a far more bent trajectory, making their selection shorter. This can be revised slightly by using what’s named a “hop-up”, which stands for “High function power-up” ;.It is just a unit that sets a back-spin on Airsoft bbs raising their range.
Picking the very best weighted Airsoft ammo for your rifle can effect the game you are in. The better the trajectory and velocity, the more correct the shot and the higher you will play. The weapon also attributes too much to how you play. The bigger quality the weapon, the better the firing capabilities. Keeping that in mind may improve your sport significantly. | weapons_science |

Whether in sword 'n sorcery fantasies, slasher horror stories, or even in stories set in the ordinary, modern world, bladed weapons turn up a lot... and there are a lot of mistakes made. Here are a few of them addressed so you can avoid making these mistakes yourself.

"This fancy/wicked-looking sword/dagger/knife would be a GREAT weapon!"
A weapon that has an especially ornate or fancy design is probably designed for ceremonial, formal, or decorative use rather than combat use. (And depending on what it's going to be used for, it may not even be sharpened - EG, the athame.) Bladed weapons used in combat were often badly damaged, and would need to be extensively repaired, reforged, or even replaced afterward, as any object that encounters an object of equal or near-equal hardness with enough force will dent, deform, or even break.
Even if cosmetic modifications (EG, engravings, gold filigree, jeweling) didn't adversely affect the function of a bladed weapon, there's still a risk of it being lost, damaged, destroyed, captured in battle, or even stolen by unscrupulous subordinates or rivals - thus making the pretty additions a waste of money. While some functional bladed weapons were fancied up, many of them survived to be placed into museums nowadays simply because they weren't used in battle, instead being reserved for ceremonial or dress purposes.
The cheap (EG, ten dollars or so) knives and swords that you can pick up at weapons shows or at the mall are designed to be decorations, not weapons. Once subjected to any kind of stress or strain, they'll quickly start falling apart. Even just waving one of the cheaply-made swords around can be enough to break it.
Likewise, most reproduction weapons are designed to look pretty rather than to be used in actual combat - subject them to any real stress, and the blades will dull, bend, and break before long. What's more, most fantasy weapons are designed for visual appeal more than actual functionality, so even if they were well-crafted, most would still make inferior weapons.
If you do an image search for "demon sword," you'll see a lot of swords with serrated edges. Serrated edges are really only useful for sawing through something, whereas swords are supposed to be for slicing and/or stabbing. Likewise, these fantasy swords are frequently designed with barbs or "teeth" facing back toward the handle. The only thing this would do is make the sword harder to pull out of anything it had been stabbed into, which in turn would mean that its wielder would end up wasting valuable time and energy in battle. Likewise, it isn't uncommon for fantasy swords to have other toothy protrusions from the side of the blade or other drastic changes in width (the Force Stealer from Final Fantasy VII being a pretty good example of both), which would only make stabbing needlessly difficult.
Many fantasy weapons have poky and pointy ornamentation in the handle area, which could potentially hurt the wielder. Many are also lacking guards between the blade and handle, which would mean that the wielder's hands would likely get cut while using it. Very often, fantasy weapons have features that make them look nasty (eg, split or forked blades, or spines along the back of the blade), but in reality wouldn't actually make them any more effective.
So basically, most of the nifty-looking weapons you see out there, particularly the fantasy weapons, are pretty much worthless.
You can cut through anything in one blow so long as your blade is sharp enough.Sharpness is good, but it can only take you so far. Let's say the sharp side of your sword comes down to the width of a single atom. (This is actually impossible, but we'll use it for the sake of our thought exercise.) You give a big ol' rock a big ol' thwack with your sword and... yeah, maybe your single-atom edge can make a nice little scratch, but that will be about all it can do because the rest of your blade (which is considerably wider than a single atom) probably can't push the atoms comprising the rock aside as it goes down, and there's probably not enough strength behind the blow to simply shatter the rock.
On the chance that you're dealing with a superstrong person with an unbreakable sword who delivers a perfectly-aimed blow, an object with no give would probably break asunder due to the force of the blow... which likely could have been achieved with something no sharper than a chisel, anyway.
Throwing knives are an effective way to kill someone.
Nope. First, unless a knife is designed for throwing, you don't want to throw it - it's not designed to have the right weight distribution for throwing. If you go throwing a knife not designed for throwing, odds are you'll just be tossing away your weapon for nothing, and what's more, your enemy can potentially pick it up and use it against you.
Secondly, it takes a lot of practice to be able to hit something even with an actual throwing knife - newbies and novices will find themselves hitting things with the handle or even the broad side of the knife often as not.
Thirdly, even if you are well-practiced, the odds of hitting anything vital (let alone anything that would get you an instant kill like in the movies) are slim to none. Because of its small size and light weight, a thrown knife doesn't have a lot of kinetic force behind it, let alone enough to bury itself in to the hilt. If the knife hit a bone (and the human body is full of them) or a tough piece of clothing, it could simply deflect or glance off. Sure, throwing knives might make an impressive show in the Cold Steel knife demonstrations when thrown into melons, pop bottles, and Tupperware, but none of these have the same resistance as human bone. Even in the wooden sticking targets, the blades rarely go in very deep, and these are knives thrown by martial arts professionals. And finally, hitting anything as small as the eye, neck, or face in general of a moving target while under pressure and combat stress is nigh impossible.
In fact, throwing knives aren't really designed for killing at all. Their intended purpose is to distract or slow someone down. Nowadays, they're mostly used for sport or performance entertainment.
Other misconceptions addressed.
Chef's knives are good stabbing weapons. Not really. Chef's knives are designed for chopping and slicing, which means that the weight of the knife is distributed so that most of the force ends up focused on the bottom of the blade, not the tip. Plus they lack guards between the handle and blade, so anyone who uses a chef knife as a weapon will probably get cut, especially if blood gets on the handle and makes it slippery. Basically, anyone trying to stab someone with a chef's knife would have it working against xir the whole way.
Sleeping with a bare knife under one's pillow is a good idea. Unless the knife is sheathed or the blade folds or retracts into the handle, someone with a knife stashed under a pillow risks getting cut if xe puts xir hands under the pillow while asleep or wakes up in a panic and goes grabbing for it wildly.
Katanas are invincible swords of infinite awesome. Katanas are all right what they're designed for, but like any other weapon they have their limitations and drawbacks. For more information, see Hype... As Ancient An Art As Sword Making.
The sai is a type of dagger/knife. Nope. They have blunt tips and dull sides.

It was full of Christmas specials, cute camo pajamas, toys for the kids and lots of other ‘gifty’ items. I turned the page again and my gaze fixated on a particular item.
There under the heading of shotguns was a Browning A5. For those of you that have been around for a while, that name probably rings a bell. For those of you that read those words and haven’t participated in the shooting sports are probably wondering what is a Browning A5?
For lots of us it was a 12ga shotgun that was typically called a “humpback.” The name was derived from the squared off receiver that makes it easy to pick out from a lineup of hundreds of shotguns. The shotgun was manufactured from 1902-1999. There were lots of them made and they are plentiful throughout the states.
Browning then ceased manufacture of this classic gun. Many people were saddened by this news and it immediately raised the nostalgic value of the A5. As I was looking at the picture in this ad, I thought back to the first time I saw one of these distinctive guns. My uncle owns one. I shot, or shot at, many clay birds with that thing during Thanksgiving breaks.
Fast forward a few years, I used an A5 to shoot my first duck while sitting in a blind in Ballard County, Ky. Those mallards came swirling in overhead. I clutched that Browning with its rock-steady action and waited. Finally, the guide yelled, ‘take them.’ The A5 rocked and birds dropped. A sportsman doesn’t forget something like that.
Later that next spring, I used the same shotgun to shoot my first wild turkey in Tennessee. Once again it performed as hoped. A couple of weeks later, I used it to bag my first gobbler here in Grundy County. That Browning A5 and I had a lot of firsts that won’t be forgotten.
The reintroduction of the A5 in early 2012 was greatly anticipated as scores of shotgun enthusiasts recalled with fond memories time spent with “grandpa’s gun.” The look is where the similarities to the previous version of the Auto 5 and the new model end. This new gun, as many put it lovingly, “ain’t your grandpa’s A5.”
First off, the receiver is aluminum and lighter than the previous model. It weighs just less than seven pounds. The recoil system also has been updated and is an inertia-based system that is very similar to the ones used in many Benellis. The choke system also employs Browning’s new double-seal system.
The first thing that you might notice when you grab the new A5 is that the drop is not as pronounced as on the older Auto 5. This new stock also comes with extra shims to help create a custom fit for each individual shooter.
If you are interested in how the new version shoots there are many blogs and articles available that talk about its cycling characteristics and easy target acquisition. Just take a second and Google “new Browning A5” and lots of choices will pop up.
Even though I personally prefer to shoot a shotgun that is more aligned with a Remington 1100 body style, there is still something to be admired about seeing an old humpback leaning in the corner of a duck blind. It is truly a classic.
Will the new version gain the legendary status its predecessor enjoys? I highly doubt it. The new A5 is sure to leave the retail shelves, and satisfy many hunters across the land, but with each new model that is bought, the old classic Auto 5 will become even more legendary.
I left the flier of that advertisement lay open to that page. Each time I walked by it the rest of the night I would take a quick glance and see that new, shiny, version of an old classic and think back on good times. | weapons_science |

Decades of Cold War aggression had the U.S. and U.S.S.R. fighting so-called “proxy battles” in distant countries with terrible fighting conditions, poorly-trained soldiers and virtually no infrastructure in place for weapons repair and maintenance.
And here’s where the AK was absolutely perfect for the job. I mean, if you put the AK-47 up against the vast majority of American firearms, it looks like it comes up short on paper. It’s well known to be wildly inaccurate due to its wide manufacturing tolerances and poor sighting equipment. If you watch one being fired in slow-motion, you can see the whole thing bending and flexing around with each shot, it looks like it’s just about to fall apart - and that adds to the recoil effect, making it even less accurate if you’re holding the trigger down in full-automatic machine gun mode.” —Inventions that changed the world: Mikhail Kalashnikov’s AK-47 | weapons_science |

The Pentagon said Wednesday that it was sending a mobile missile defense system to Guam as a “precautionary move,” as Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel said North Korea posed a “real and clear danger” to the U.S. military base on the western Pacific island, as well as to allies and other U.S. territory.
North Korea has named Guam and Hawaii as potential targets in bellicose statements in recent weeks, which have increased tension on the Korean peninsula and prompted a series of U.S. military moves aimed at beefing up the American presence in the region and reassuring allies that the United States will come to their aid in the event of an attack.
Despite the concern, North Korea has not demonstrated that its missiles have the range to hit Guam or Hawaii, much less the U.S. mainland. Nor is it known to have a nuclear warhead small enough to be carried on its missiles.
But a senior U.S. official said the decision to send the interceptors to Guam came because of growing concern that North Korea improved the range of its ballistic missiles, possibly giving them the ability to hit the island. He asked not to be identified because he was discussing sensitive intelligence assessments.
Asked about Guam last month, Undersecretary of Defense James Miller said the U.S. missile defense system “provides coverage of not just the continental United States, but all the United States.” But some analysts note that the U.S. military’s own maps show that Guam is not within the geographic reach of the ground-based interceptor.
Guam, in the Pacific between the Philippines and Hawaii, is home to Andersen Air Force Base and U.S. Naval Base Guam.
Defense officials said Guam was still covered by U.S. warships in the Pacific equipped to shoot down ballistic missiles. Sending the ground-based system to Guam beefs up the U.S. defense. The so-called THAAD system, which the Pentagon said would arrive in Guam “in coming weeks,” includes a truck-mounted launcher, interceptor missiles, a tracking radar and a fire-control computer system. | weapons_science |

Trump shook the foreign policy and defense once again last week, announcing his intention to leave the Intermediate Nuclear Forces Treaty, also known as INF.
Coming from President Trump, we can be certain that this move will attract criticism from politicians and media figures in the United States and abroad, though it is likely a sound decision.
There is good historical reason for Americans to be upset. The INF treaty represented a landmark step in U.S.-Soviet Relations. The treaty banned all short and medium range, ground launched, conventional and nuclear missiles. These missiles are widely considered
the most destabilizing of all nuclear weapons because they allow for minimal warning time and because they are the first step on the nuclear escalation ladder. INF was a real step towards peace, and the treaty was the first concrete arms reduction agreement between Reagan and Gorbachev.
The days of Reykjavik and “trust but verify” are long
past, and the withdrawal from the INF agreement is well overdue. Critics will point to the shaky state of U.S. and Russia relations, arguing that withdrawing from the INF is likely to make them even worse, destabilizing Europe and raising the risks of war. However, a continued American adherence to the treaty would have been detrimental to American
The first problem with the INF treaty is that it has been void for over 10 years. In Feb. 2007, Vladimir Putin announced that the INF treaty was no longer in Russia’s interests, and in 2008, Russia tested a missile
that was in violation of the treaty. Since then, Russia has continued to develop and test missiles that violate the INF treaty. Furthermore, Russia has deployed Iskander-M missiles, which, despite Russian rhetoric,
appear to violate the treaty.
However, Russia has good reason to operate in this way. NATO is perceived as a hostile alliance in Russia, imagine how we would feel if Russia had a security alliance with Mexico and Canada, and Russia’s conventional forces cannot match those of the United
States. This means Russia relies heavily on its nuclear forces to deter its enemies. Furthermore, the terms of the treaty heavily favor the United States. Russia lost most of its cruise missiles in the treaty, but because the
American Tomahawk cruise missile is mostly air and sea launched, the U.S. did not give up much of its own capabilities.
There is a bigger problem with the INF agreement,
however, and one which likely motivates both the United States and Russia to abandon the treaty. China was never a signatory to INF and has therefore continued to develop its short and medium range
capabilities unabated. The U.S. and Russia have been hamstrung by the treaty, and this has given China an advantage in ground launched missiles throughout
the South China Sea and much of Asia.
By withdrawing from the treaty, President Trump has
taken the first step towards allowing the U.S. to compete effectively in Southeast Asia. Without the restrictions imposed by the INF treaty, the U.S. Army will be able to increase the range of its Long Range
Precision Fires missile artillery. The LRPF is the Army’s number one modernization priority, and it could be a gamechanger in the Pacific. In a littoral environment,
mobile missile launchers with long range capabilities could allow the army to support the U.S. Navy and negate China’s Anti-Access Area Denial assets distributed throughout the South China Sea. This would
create a permissive environment for American power projection, keeping China on the back foot and limiting their ability to revise the regional status quo.
Hostility towards the American withdrawal from the
INF treaty is akin to burying one’s head in the sand. While it is nice to reflect on the glories of the Cold War, those days are over. The INF Treaty is simply no longer in the interests of the United States, it is time to move | weapons_science |

Dr Simon Leitch contributes to the US-Iran nuclear debate which was launched by Dr. Mark N Kartz, a Professor at the George Mason University, USA. Dr Kartz discusses the broader implications of Washington-Tehran nuclear discussions on the international community. His article can be read here.
If you are new to the Iranian nuclear crisis the basics are easy to understand. The Iranian nuclear program has been a thorn in the side of many Western, and Middle Eastern policymakers for years – and for good reason. Should Iran ever attain nuclear weapons, its leverage in international politics will increase dramatically due to the potential damage it could inflict on others. With nuclear weapons in hand, a state can become more reckless, more prone to provocations, and conventional military manoeuvres because retaliation and escalation becomes difficult – North Korea’s ability to escape punishment for its many provocations from far greater powers (like South Korea and Japan) are examples that come to mind. Even a peaceful nuclear program can be of concern due to the theft, or provision of nuclear material to terrorists, whilst an advanced but peaceful nuclear program can easily advance into a weapons program, should political circumstances change.
Given all this, American-led efforts to prevent Iranian nuclearization are understandable. With U.S. allies in the region, like Saudi Arabia and Israel, crying out for American assistance in curbing Iranian power, and with American forces in Iraq serving as fodder for Iranian-back militias, the Bush and Obama administrations were never going to see Iranian nuclearization in a favorable light. So it was that we have seen a decade of antagonism, economic sanctions and occasional war threats pointed to Iran.
Despite a decade of political changes, including a rotation of political leaders in Iran and the USA, the establishment of multilateral negotiation forums, sanctions and threats of force it seems Iran is closer than ever to a nuclear weapons capability. Recently the much heralded Iran-U.S. negotiations have resulted in at least one striking Iranian commitment – Iranian officials claim they will not dismantle their nuclear program or even scale it back. Inspection of Iranian facilities might be possible but forwards, not backwards, is the only way for Iranian nuclear capabilities. How have things gone so very wrong for American strategy in the region?
Let’s begin with a disclaimer – the Iran nuclear issue is complicated. As in many cases of diplomatic bargaining there are many separate issues tugging at the policy process. Issues such as terrorism, Iranian and American domestic politics, the Iraq War, the Afghanistan War, the Syrian Civil War, the preferences of allies (like Saudi Arabia, Israel and the EU states), and the actions of rivals (like Russia and China) have made negotiations about Iran’s nuclear program problematic from the start, and more difficult over time. If the USA fails to get its way on the Iranian nuclear program it won’t be a surprise because the odds have been stacked against American efforts from the start. Neither Bush in the post-2003 Iraq War period nor Obama since his inauguration day have been able to direct their respective Iran policies from a favorable position of strength (domestically or internationally).
It should not be surprising that successive U.S. presidents appear to have failed to denuclearize Iran with coercive diplomacy. Coercive diplomacy does not take place in a vacuum, and American efforts to isolate Iran and force it away from developing a nuclear weapons capability were overly-ambitious from the start. Complicating this has been the fact that military action against Iran has probably never been a realistic option for American forces. With American forces spread through Iraq, the Gulf and Afghanistan for the last decade the USA could not (and still can’t) militarily target Iran without incurring the kind of risks that war-weary Americans don’t want to pay. Now U.S. efforts look increasingly like the delusions of a great power which cannot come to terms with the fact it is diplomatically overextended, war-weary and lacking in moral or political authority in the region. How far the Iranian nuclear program progresses now is more up to Iranians than Americans, and continued unsuccessful attempts to seek Iranian denuclearization are distracting and damaging to American credibility and interests.
Given this state of affairs the West should reconsider fundamentals of its non-proliferation strategy. America and its allies, in Europe and in the Middle East, must learn to live with the idea that some states will develop a nuclear capability. States have been doing so for a long time and will probably continue to do so. Here I will not argue that the acquisition of nuclear weapons by Iran will be good for the region because it will have a stabilizing effect, or even that Iran will move to a nuclear weapons capability, although plenty of scholars do argue these points. What I will argue is that, properly applied, the principles of nuclear deterrence still work, and Iran can be deterred from first use of nuclear weapons in any plausible future scenario and, yes, this includes handing nuclear weapons to terrorists. Rather than trying to create the ‘ideal’ Iran, foreigners need to accept Iran will actually exist in the future – the future Iran may have advanced nuclear capabilities, and so be it.
This doesn’t mean the West should abandon the principles of non-proliferation in international relations more generally. It doesn’t mean we have to like it when states like Pakistan, North Korea or Iran gain nuclear capabilities. Nuclear non-proliferation norms can still be reinforced by symbolic sanctions against nuclear technology, restrictions on the movements of atomic scientists, great power example and anti-nuclear diplomatic rhetoric. Many states will still be deterred from gaining nuclear weapons in the future due to the strength of non-proliferation norms, the inconvenience of limited sanctions or the threat of force (military options can still work in the right place and time). However, the Western belief that foreign nuclear programs can and should always be stopped through coercive diplomacy is a myth, and a dangerous one at that. Sometimes, just sometimes, nuclearization cannot be prevented and continuing to try is simply embarrassing for all involved.
By refusing to accept the limits of American coercive power over Iranian decisions, much of the antagonism between Iran and the USA is completely pointless and counter-productive. Rather than cultivating an understanding with Iran about the mutual dangers of nuclear weapons, Western states have simply come off as incompetent bullies who are weak in the face of resolute resistance. The situation which the USA negotiators now face is unenviable, and any accommodation with Iran will carry a domestic political cost for President Obama. Still, something can and should be salvaged from this wreckage.
First, the Iranians have mentioned that they are open to the idea of inspections of their facilities. For several years this has probably been the only realistic outcome, and as dissatisfying it is for negotiators they should jump at the chance to formalize and normalize inspection processes. Cooperation, trust and acceptance can start from these beginnings. Second, the more moderate voices in Iran can be reinforced by showing that America is not antagonistic to Iran on principle, and that the two can coexist. Iran and the USA will still have clashes or interest. They will have disagreements about Syria, terrorism, Israel and Iraq and pursue various adversarial strategies as a result. But they can come to an agreement about nuclear issues, freedom of the passage in the Gulf and normalizing trade and diplomatic relations over time.
The USA, and the West more broadly, must choose its battles more carefully, but also accept when one is lost. Iran’s nuclear program is a battle lost and there is no sense throwing away more time, money, reputation and diplomatic assets after a lost battle, particularly one that has been lost for a long time.

The IDF has been concerned about heavy mortars which could carry 150-200 kilogram warheads، and which would inflict heavy damage on the Israeli home front. On Thursday، the group released images showing at least 12 small، locally produced improvised rockets made from a large metal canister. Due to its oversize warhead، the small، local rocket has greater destructive capabilities. According to Tal Inbar، an expert in rocketry at the Fisher Institute for Air and Space Strategic Studies think tank، it is the first use of such a rocket by a Palestinian group in the Gaza Strip against Israel. “The amount of explosives is several times heavier than in standard rockets which have the same diameter، such as the Grads،” he told The Jerusalem Post، adding that while “range is affected it causes more damage.”
While one image released by Islamic Jihad showed the rocket fired from its stand during the day، both Hamas and Islamic Jihad have carried out tests on their rocket arsenal on an almost regular basis since the conclusion of Operation Protective Edge، firing rockets toward the sea in an attempt to increase their range and destructive power.
“We have heard for months that they [Hamas and Islamic Jihad] are conducting rocket tests... this was the first opportunity to use it،” Inbar said of the new missile.
With Hamas working on improving ties with Egypt، weapons smuggling into the blockaded enclave from the Sinai Peninsula has decreased، leading resistant roups to invest in producing their own locally-made rockets.
“You cannot block email and phone-calls needed to get the knowledge to build such a rocket،” Inbar said، adding that “it is not rocket science” to build such rockets and “the technical infrastructure to produce them is relatively low-tech.”
Last March، Army Radio reported that Hamas had developed a new high-powered short-range rocket which has a range of 10 kilometers. According to the report، the group has produced several dozen of the rockets which carry a relatively heavy explosive load، from dozens to hundreds of kilograms each – similar to Hezbollah’s short-range Borkan rocket، which weighs between 100-500 kilograms.
The IDF has warned that Palestinian groups in the Strip have restored their military capabilities to their pre-2014 strength، expecting that in the next war the southern communities bordering the Gaza Strip would be incessantly pounded with rockets and mortar attacks. The recent explosion of violence in the South saw close to 500 rockets and mortars fired on southern Israeli communities، killing one man and injuring close to 100 other Israeli، two seriously. One soldier was critically injured by an anti-tank missile fired at a bus.
According to Inbar، it is likely that the rocket which struck the residential building in Ashkelon Monday night was the heavy rocket launched by Islamic Jihad.
“The damage was quite dramatic as compared to the destruction caused by other rockets، so a heavy warhead was the most probable cause،” he said، stressing nonetheless that it could only be confirmed with an examination of the rocket fragments by authorities. | weapons_science |

The air-to-surface missile developed by DRDO for the Indian Air Force was test-fired the Stand-off Anti-tank (SANT) missile off the coast of Odisha from a roof-top launcher at the Integrated Test Range (ITR) against a static target. The Defence Research and Development Organisation is developing the missile for the Indian Air Force and it will have both Lock-on After Launch and Lock-on Before Launch capabilities and met all mission parameters as the missile hit the target with high accuracy..
An upgraded version of anti-tank missile - Helicopter Launched Nag (HeliNa), the SANT missile has both lock-on before launch and lock-on after launch capability. Equipped with an advanced nose-mounted seeker the missile can destroy targets 15 km to 20 km away.
While the earlier version of the missile has a strike range of about 8 km, the upgraded variant with infrared imaging seeker can cover at least double the distance. The trials of the fourth generation 'fire and forget' missile are being conducted after the weapon system underwent a couple of tests in desert conditions in Pokhran firing range.
The missile will be inducted after a series of tests from the actual launch platform on-board light combat helicopters and advanced light helicopters. "The nose mounted advanced seeker helps the missile evade enemy attack as it can be fired from a safe distance. Unlike other missiles in its class, it can neutralise targets at a long range. SANT missile is one of the best airborne anti-armour guided missiles in the world," the official added. | weapons_science |

In the Western Campaign, 60 were lost. The fighter would maneuver below a bomber, often being able to see the aircraft silhouetted against the night sky above. Photo: Bundesarchiv, Bild 101I-377-2801-013 / Jakobsen [Jacobsen] / CC-BY-SA 3.0During the invasion of Poland, Norway, and Denmark, the Zerstörer performed well. Messerschmitt Bf 110 Type: Heavy fighter plane, Zerstörer (destroyer), fighter-bomber, night fighter History: During the 1930s, At this time, the Bf 110 remained the backbone of the night force, although it was now being reinforced by the Junkers Ju 88. We have had the option of the Mauve kit (based on the old Fujimi Bf 110 C), and Monogram's Bf 110 G-4 in 1/48 scale until now. The 110s shot down eight in as many minutes; among the victors was Herbert Schob, who survived the war as one of the most successful Bf 110 pilots. They just sit on the ground, GLARING at eachother, possibly barking. This version was fitted with FuG 202 Liechtenstein air interception radar which had an effective maximum range of 3-4 kilometers (1.8-2.4 miles), and it carried a third crewman to act as a radar operator. No further losses of the type occurred for the remainder of the campaign. Between April and June 1942, the Nachtjagd force destroyed 230 British bombers and by September it had shot down a total of 1,000 bombers. The World War I-era Bristol Fighter had done well with a rear gunner firing a rifle-caliber machine gun, but by World War II, this was insufficient to deter the eight-gun fighters facing the Bf 110. The Bf 110s lost nine machines, with 11 killed and seven wounded. RAF Bomber Command had "nearly burned out". However, on 4 and 27 September, 15 Bf 110s were lost on each day. A night fighter (also known as all-weather fighter or all-weather interceptor for a period of time after the Second World War) is a fighter aircraft adapted for use at night or in other times of bad visibility. As a result, ZG 2 was disbanded, and all its surviving aircraft were transferred to ZG 1.. Some sources claim a 12th Wellington was destroyed. Their fighters are all single-engined. Afterward, Horten said, Gentlemen, be very careful if you should ever come up against the English. Luftwaffe night fighters are featured. In the spring of 1940, Walter Horten, Jagdgeschwader 26 technical officer, was invited to participate in a "mock combat" with a Bf 109E. These radars were able to give the target’s altitude and speed and were accurate enough to guide the fighter to within 500m of a bomber, by which time the Bf 110s Liechtenstein radar would be able to lock on. The targets around Frankfurt and the Saar region were hit. This page was last edited on 27 December 2020, at 18:45. Their seeming absence has often been equated with the simultaneous disappearance from the Battle of the Ju 87.

According to the Luftwaffe Order of Battle, a total of 102 Bf 110s were used in the September Campaign with a loss of about 10 aircraft. The Bf 110 enjoyed a successful period following the Battle of Britain as an air superiority fighter and strike aircraft in other theatres. At the start of the war the aircraft had an impressive reputation, which survived to the end of the French campaign but faded once the aircraft had to face modern fighters. Initially, the Bf 110 C-1 day-fighter was used in the night fighter role by NJG1, but the means of detecting enemy aircraft carried by this version was the Mk1 human eyeball which only worked at dusk or dawn or on moonlit nights. The Bf 110's lack of agility in the air was its primary weakness. The German night fighter Messerschmitt Bf.110G-4 captured by American troops in the airfield parking lot. With improved performance and armament, as well as devices which allowed them to find RAF bombers in total darkness, the last version of the Bf 110 became a lethal night fighter. Later, the RAF developed a radar countermeasure; Window, to blind German radar and introduced de Havilland Mosquitos to fly feints and divert the Bf 110s and other night fighter forces from their true target, which worked, initially. Total losses during this campaign amounted to little more than 20. The unit worked up over January and February to operational ready status. Messerschmitt Bf 110s were introduced in 1937 as formidable Luftwaffe heavy fighters. , The Zerstörerwaffe performed well when it encountered mostly British bombers. Despite excellent visibility, none of the RAF bombers had reported anything unusual that would indicate a new weapon or tactics in the German night fighter force. Other aircraft, such as the Junkers Ju 88 and the Dornier Do 217, also played a big role, but none more so than the Bf 110. Initially, the Bf 110 C-1 day-fighter was used in the night fighter role by NJG1, but the means of detecting enemy aircraft carried by this version was the Mk1 human eyeball which only worked at dusk or dawn or on moonlit nights. Suddenly, Germany needed a night fighter. And once they get to know the Bf 110s weaknesses, you could be in for a very nasty surprise. Using this, NJG 5's Leutnant Peter Erhardt destroyed four bombers in 30 minutes. But Luftwaffe losses were high; 15% of crews were killed in the first three months of 1944. Bf 110G series With the failure of the Messerschmitt Me 210 series, and a shortage of Ju 88 airframes, the Luftwaffe was forced to retain the Bf 110 in front-live service primarily as a night-fighter, and in 1942 the Daimler Benz DB 605B-1 engine was installed to produce the Bf 110G series. Another role the Bf 110 took on was as a potent bomber-destroyer. The Bf 110 was considered to be obsolete and phased out of production accordingly. Its shortcomings were to become its strong points in dealing with the British. Bergstrom, Dikov & Antipov 2006, p.48 and p. 59. sfn error: no target: CITEREFBekker1968 (, invasions of Yugoslavia and Greece in April 1941, Air Force of the Independent State of Croatia, Aces of the Luftwaffe - Major Heinz-Wolfgang Schnaufer, Aces of the Luftwaffe; Heinz-Wolfgang Schnauffer, "VIII Bomber Command 33: 4 February 1943", Aces of the Luftwaffe: Heinz-Wolfgang Schnaufer, Bayerische Flugzeugwerke (BFW) and Messerschmitt, Reich Air Ministry (RLM) aircraft designations, https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Messerschmitt_Bf_110_operational_history&oldid=996623102, Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License, On 11 March 1942 the 6. Later on, there were dedicated ground attack versions which proved reasonably successful. Meanwhile two enemy fighters strafed the airfield and damaged nine more aircraft. The Messerschmitt Me-110 “destroyer” was shot down in droves during the Battle of Britain, but it went on to become World War II’s most successful night fighter. , Hermann Göring reportedly ordered the Zerstörerwaffe to make all the Luftwaffe's Bf 110s available for operations. On 9 April, ZG 76 committed 77 to an USAAF raid on Berlin. The number of Bf 110s on the Eastern Front declined further during and after 1942. Significantly, on the night of 22–23 May, the Bf 110 was pressed into night fighting service over the desert. Messerschmitt Bf 110 Zerstorer Aces of World War 2 (Osprey Aircraft of the Aces), John Weal. During the 1930s, the concept of a “heavy fighter” came into vogue. Some of the most successful were Leutnant Eduard Meyer, who received the Knight's Cross on 20 December 1941 for 18 aerial victories and 48 aircraft destroyed on the ground, as well as two tank kills. , In autumn 1943, the Zerstörergruppen were recalled from their Eastern or Mediterranean bases, and formed into RLV units. See more ideas about Messerschmitt, Luftwaffe, Ww2 aircraft. During the Balkans Campaign, North African Campaign and on the Eastern Front, it rendered valuable ground support to the German Army as a potent fighter-bomber (Jagdbomber-Jabo). During the campaign, the Bf 110 demonstrated its capabilities as a strike aircraft. The first units undertook defence operations over Germany as early as the autumn of 1940. However, as a night fighter, a role for which it had never been designed, the Bf 110 proved to be devastatingly effective. The Zerstörer was only to fly as a day fighter against unescorted formations. We flew these missions at no greater than Schwarm strength, and were ourselves never escorted. This gave the Zerstörer force a window of opportunity to wreak damage on the bomber streams. He obtained his first ‘kill’ with this machine on the night of 1-2 June 1942. Stanket and E.J. Once again, the Bf 110 encountered foreign flown Messerschmitt Bf 109s, this time belonging to the Yugoslav Air Force. This rose to 72% in five days. On 4 October 1943, the Bf 110 Geschwader intercepted B-17s of the 3rd Bomb Division. As a result, the aircrews came to dislike this version. ZG 1 Gruppenkommander Hauptmann Hannes Gentzen became the highest-scoring fighter pilot in the Luftwaffe on 2 April, when he shot down a Curtiss Hawk over Argonne. However, this was tempered by the loss of nine Bf 110s against the RAF on 15 May. For the attack on the Netherlands, 145 Bf 110s were committed under Oberst Kurt-Bertram von Döring's Jagdfliegerführer 2. With experience fighting in Norway, efforts were made to extend the combat range of the Bf 110C; these became the Bf 110D Long Range (Langstrecken) Zerstörer. Falck's unit, I./ZG 76, claimed 31 kills during the campaign, of which 19 were confirmed. A couple of examples show the increasing toll taken by the Bf 110 in the hands of the Soviet airmen: At the beginning of Operation Blau, on 28 June 1942, the Luftflotte 4 has 86 operational Zerstorers, including fifteen Bf 110 which performed reconnaissance duties in three units – 3. Prior to this we had only seen a handful of 1/72 scale Messerschmitt Bf 110 G releases over the decades. He was later credited with a submarine sunk and three motor torpedo boats sunk.. Most units that operated the 110 did so for reconnaissance. In the far north, in the battlefields between Kirkenes (Norway) and the port of Murmansk, the Bf 110 still could claim important successes in the first half of 1942. Luftwaffe night fighter ace Heinz-Wolfgang Schnaufer was the highest scorer in the Defence of the Reich campaign and ended the war with 121 aerial victories, virtually all of them achieved while flying examples of the Bf 110. , This was my only day victory in a night fighter. In the North African Campaign, the Bf 110 acted as a support aircraft for the Junkers Ju 87 Stuka units. , Just 51 air worthy Bf 110s took part in the initial rounds of Operation Barbarossa, and all were from three units; ZG 26, Schnellkampfgeschwader 210 (redesignated from Erprobungsgruppe 210) and ZG 76. Escorting German bomber formations on attacks against Warsaw, the unit claimed 30 kills on the first day. Based in Cairo, Egypt, it was to be deployed to South Africa as part of a program to train pilots on enemy equipment, but it did not make it, crashing in the Sudan. The Bf 110 is a fairly popular model; whatever it's actual performance was in the war, it looks cool, especially the night-fighting versions, bristling with early radar antennae and colorful Luftwaffe insignia. But the mid to fall of 1942 meant the end of that era, and the losses began to mount very quickly. Messerschmitt Bf-110 The Messerschmitt Bf 110 ‘Zerstörer’ (‘Destroyer’) was truly a jack of all trades, but it was as a night fighter it did best. The design excelled at "high escort" where Bf-110 squadrons were sent well ahead of the bombers to clear the skies of enemy aircraft, using their speed and firepower advantages in diving attacks to counter the enemy's maneuverability, then breaking contact and climbing away, what the Americans would later call "Boom-and-Zoom." While a lack of maneuverability might have limited its use as a day fighter, the Bf 110 made an ideal night fighter. The fighter would generally target engines or fuel tanks if possible since firing directly into the bomb bay produced such a huge explosion that there was a risk of the attacker being damaged. Jul 16, 2017 - Explore Mat Lambert's board "Me Bf110 Nightfighter" on Pinterest. In game it is one of the fastest aircraft at its battle rating with a speed of 582/560 km/h (arcade and realistic bat… This BF 110 E-2 (Werksnummer 4516) night fighter served with II./NJG 1 and was flown by the highest decorated night fighter ‘ace’ Heinz-Wolfgang Schnaufer. One Danish Fokker C.V did manage to get airborne but was immediately shot down. Hermann Göring was a proponent of the Bf 110, and nicknamed it his Eisenseiten ("Ironsides"). Most of these victories were scored by Bf 110s – Ju-88s were also being used in the night fighter role, but these were often used in long-range intruder operations over England and most of the defense of the Reich fell to the Messerschmitt. It was in the role as a night fighter, often armed with the surprisingly effective Schräge Musik upward-firing twin autocannon offensive armament installation, that the Bf 110 and its pilots achieved their greatest successes. 33 and No. In the role of ground support, and flown by seasoned pilots. Later on, as the specialist Bf 110G-4s were received by night fighter wings, the mid-cockpit mount was replaced by one at the extreme rear of the cabin. On the first day, 6 April, Bf 110s of I./ZG 26 lost five of their number in exchange for two Yugoslav Bf 109s. This twin-engine fighter has been in the game since the start of the Open Beta Test prior to Update 1.29. Most of the units protecting western Germany from aerial attack were equipped with the Messerschmitt Bf 109. "Destroyers in Second World War". Some Bf 110 units had been equipped with the experimental Schräge Musik system, an emplacement of two upward-firing cannon, which for its initial installations placed the twin-cannon fitment almost midway down the cockpit canopy behind the pilot, which could attack the blind spot of RAF Bomber Command's Lancaster and Halifax bombers, which lacked a ventral turret. The Bf 110s flew alone against this formation and destroyed four B-17s, before having the misfortune of running into 56th Fighter Group P-47 Thunderbolts. The Luftwaffe began the battle with 237 Bf 110s and it lost more than 200 in combat over England in the late summer of 1940. However the fortunes for the mostly Bf 110 equipped force turned during late August/September 1943. Originally modelled as the Bf 110 C-4, the vehicle was renamed and remodelled into the C-7 in Update 1.79 "Project X". Of all twin engine fighters of WWII, Messerschmitt Bf 110 was the most successful, followed by Junkers Ju 88, De Havilland Mosquito and Bristol Beaufighter. , In January 1943 the Eighth Air Force began taking their daylight operations into Germany. A huge number of ground kills were achieved by Bf 110 pilots in the east. Around 12 Bf 110s were lost over Crete. See more ideas about messerschmitt, luftwaffe, ww2 aircraft. Just three weeks later, on 18 December 1939, the Bf 110 participated in the first German victory over British arms in World War II. However, the Bf 110s were called away to the Eastern and North African fronts "rapidly" and "often" to perform strike, reconnaissance and even dive-bombing missions, leading to inevitable losses. I and II./ZG 26 were deployed to the theatre. However the 2 GSAP indeed lost five Hurricanes in that combat, for only one Bf 110 lost in return, which is a remarkable victory. Messerschmitt Bf 110 of future night fighter ace Lt. Helmut Lent overshoot the runway in Oslo-Fornebu and came to rest in the garden of a house. The heavy guns and high speeds of these aircraft allowed many German pilots to claim ace status while at the helm of the Bf 110. ZG 26 claimed 13 RAF fighters shot down, which "was not far off the mark", for three losses and five damaged. It was the mount of Heinz-Wolfgang Schnaufer, the most successful night fighter pilot in history and he scored all off his 121 of his kills in it, including nine Lancasters on one night. Several attacks from the beam were made, and eventually a break in the formation opened a gap which Hans-Joachim Jabs and his wingman took advantage of. But the Bf-110 suffered greatly in "close escort," where they were forced to lumber alongside the slow bombers, taking away their tactical edge and forcing them to always respond to the attacking fighters, which were never taken by surprise and could easily avoid the attacks of the Zerstörer, and even turn the tables. The extreme power of the Bf 110's weaponry (when fitted with 20mm and 30mm cannon) could cripple or destroy any Allied bomber in seconds. I(Z)./LG 1 also contributed. A design requirement was issued by the German Air Ministry in 1934, and the entry selected for production was that presented by the Bayerische Flugzeugwerke (Bavarian Aircraft Works). Oberleutnant Johannes Kiel was credited with 62 aircraft destroyed on the ground, plus nine tanks and 20 artillery pieces. , During the Phoney War, a number of French aircraft were shot down by Bf 110s. Schoolboys in Nazi Germany fantasized about becoming not single-engine fighter pilots but members of a Zerstörer crew. Eventually withdrawn from daylight fighting, the Bf 110 enjoyed later success as a night fighter, where its range and firepower stood it in good stead for the remainder of the war. His aircraft crashed into Portland Harbour. On 17 September 1942 the Bf 110Es of the 5./ZG 1 ran into four. The story repeated on 13 July 1942, when five Bf 110s of 5./ZG 1 were shot down in a single combat against the LaGG-3s of the same Soviet unit (131 IAP), which recorded the encounter on the 14th. Shown above is a Bf 110G-4. Opposition was light until 1942, when British heavy bombers started to appear. The initial raid was against Wilhelmshaven. The Messerschmitt Bf 110 F in 1/48 scale. , The campaign in the west that followed in 1940 demonstrated that the Bf 110 was vulnerable in hostile skies. The Bf 110 would be the backbone of the Nachtjagdgeschwader throughout the war. Two MG FF 20-millimeter cannon were mounted in the rear part of the cockpit pointing upward and forward at an angle of around 80°. (H)/11 and 7. Between 16 and 17 August, 23 more were lost.. , The Phoney War and the "Battle of German Bight", North Africa, the Mediterranean and Middle East. One of the most notable actions of the Bf 110 occurred on the night of the 17/18 August 1943. Many G-4 models were also fitted with the Schraege Musik system. Over Greece, on 20 April, II./ZG 26 claimed five Hurricanes of No. , The Rashid Ali Rebellion and resulting Anglo-Iraqi War saw the Luftwaffe commit 12 of 4./ZG 76's Bf 110s to the Iraqi Nationalist cause as part of "Flyer Command Iraq" (Fliegerführer Irak). This aircraft is incredibly versatile due to the variety of offensive weapons wh… Polish pilots were unfamiliar with the type often identifying them as bombers. Lack losses suffered during the Battle of Britain caused the Bf 110 to spend the rest of WWII as night fighter. However, in 1940, the RAF switched from daylight bombing raids against Nazi targets to night bombing. Then, Nachtjaeger units were equipped with Bf 110 D models fitted with a forward-facing, Spanner-Anlage infrared sensor. For example, Heinz-Wolfgang Schnaufer, one of the Luftwaffe’s leading night fighter aces, was flying a Bf 110 G-4 equipped with Schraege Musik canon and Liechtenstein radar when he attacked a stream of British Lancaster bombers on the night of 21st February 1945. When encumbered with a total of four 21 cm (8 in) Werfer-Granate 21 (Wfr.Gr. The Luftwaffe had embarked on the battle with 237 serviceable Bf 110s. On 2 April 1944, the Bf 110 achieved one of its final successful engagements. German night fighter model lockdown anti boredom project.61 inch wing span,fitted with two OS glow engines,Interesting thing was a successful flying model however it has been in my storage building hanging from the ceiling for a long time so will require some work to fly again,both engines turn with compression.good potential.collection or delivery by me possible While RAF Bomber Command destroyed Hannover's city centre and 86% of crews dropped their bombs within 5 km (3 mi) of the aiming point, losses were severe. This limitation of tactical flexibility greatly hampered the ability of the Bf 110 to counter enemy single-engine fighters on a level of parity. , The Bf 110 force also encountered the Swiss Air Force during this period, as several German raids violated Swiss airspace. The Bf 110 force lost 23 of the 77 machines. The box art was very nice, but otherwise the kit was a typical product of its era - simplified and inaccurate in key areas. Many RAF crews witnessed a sudden explosion of a friendly aircraft, but assumed, in some cases, it was very accurate flak. When these units returned to the Reich, they were depleted and required reforming, retraining and re-equipping. Revell offers a 1/32 Messerschmitt BF 110-C4/B Model Kit. Landing their cargoes, many transports were destroyed. The Bf 110s participation in Fall Rot's Operation Paula, an offensive to destroy the remaining French air forces in central France, was to lead to 101 losses for the Luftwaffe, of which just four were Bf 110s. Losses were eight Bf 110s. On 9 July 1940, seven out of a force of 12 Bristol Blenheims bombing Stavanger were shot down by a mixed force of Bf 110s and Bf 109s from ZG 76 and JG 77 respectively.. It is not clear if they managed to shoot down any of their attackers.. It had a long loiter time, lots of firepower, and an extra set of eyes. 21) rocket tubes, with two of these under each outer wing panel, and additional armament, the 110 was vulnerable to Allied escort fighters, partly from the development of a major change in American fighter tactics at the end of 1943, rendering them increasingly vulnerable to developing American air supremacy over the Reich. Oberleutnant Baagoe was killed on 14 May 1941 while on a strafing mission during the Battle of Crete. The … In response, the Bf 110 F-4/U-1 variant was fitted with a completely new weapon system. 87 Squadron RAF. Along with the Me 410, it formed the newly rebuilt ZG 26, equipped with three gruppen (two Bf 110 and one Me 410), based near Hannover. The Bf 110 G-2 is a textbook example of what classifies a twin-engined fighter. From June–August, it had increased from around 2% to 9.8%. Later in the war, it was developed into a formidable night fighter, becoming the major night-fighting aircraft of the Luftwaffe. Their "Lichtenstein" radar was primitive but plenty good enough to hunt down British heavy bombers. However, Bf 110s were still being spotted by the tail gunners of British bombers before they could attack. In 1941, nearly 20% of the Zerstörergeschwader's missions were ground-attack orientated. Its weight (almost four tons) meant that it lacked maneuverability and acceleration compared to British Spitfire and Hurricane fighters. The Bf 110 became part of the German rearmament program and military buildup of the 1930s, utilizing a two-engine heavy fighter design form that many national air forces of the period pursued in one form or another. (Z)/JG 5, achieved an important victory on 10 May 1942 when six of its Bf 110s, which were escorting Ju 88s of the KG 30, ran into a formation of six Soviet SB-2 bombers escorted by nine Hurricanes of the 2 GSAP. In Norway, the Bf 110s helped secure the Oslo-Fornebu airport, escorting Junkers Ju 52 transports loaded with paratroops (Fallschirmjäger). During these battles, a future 110-kill Luftwaffe ace, Helmut Lent, scored his fifth and sixth victories against Norwegian opposition. (Z)/JG 5 lost three Bf 110 at the hands of Soviet. in the Messerschmitt Bf 110 G-4, C9 + EN night fighter. The system worked, but the Luftwaffe responded with the Rosendaal-Halbe system, a passive receiver which homed-in on the emissions from Monica. During this time, a number of United States Army Air Forces B-24 Liberators were destroyed. One, a Bf 110 G-4 night fighter that had been surrendered to the Allies in May 1945 at Grove airfield in Denmark, is displayed at RAF Museum London at Hendon in North London, United Kingdom. In the mid-1930s, there was a great deal of interest in the concept of the heavy fighter, namely a fighter aircraft with at least two engines which would give improved survivability in combat as well as possess the ability to carry heavier weapons and have a longer range. Overall 5 B-17s were lost on the mission, one due to a mid-air collision with a Fw 190, but of the 8 Bf 110 aircraft put up, all 8 suffered significant damage. Two Zerstörergeschwader, (1 and 76), were committed, with 64 aircraft. In August 1942, a stalemate between the Allied and Axis forces in North Africa permitted the withdrawal of III./ZG 26 to Crete for convoy protection. (H)/31, 3. Schenk was to achieve 18 aerial victory credits on the Zerstorer, and was awarded with Eichenlaub (Oak Leaves) for the Knight's Cross on 30 October 1942. In the ensuing dogfight the Zerstorer pilots not only wildly overclaimed 13 victories (when their opponents were only nine) but also misidentified them as "MiG-3", including five claims by experte Theodor Weissenberger. The B-17s brushed the defenses aside and delivered their loads on Wilhelmshaven, while suffering the loss of 3 aircraft. A replica of a crashed Bf 110 fuselage built as a prop for th… Most of the German night fighter aces flew the Bf 110 at some point during their combat careers, and the top night fighter ace of all time, Major Heinz-Wolfgang Schnaufer, flew it exclusively and claimed 121 victories in 164 combat missions. Reichsmarschall Hermann Göring insisted that all aircraft, including the night fighter force, would be put into the air to resist these attacks against Germany.

One way to reduce wear is to reinforce the contact surfaces with hardened steel, as described in this article. For more ideas on how to reduce wear, look here
The process step-by-step
Sart by cutting a wedge-shaped piece of hardeneable steel, such as spring steel. Then cut a matching wedge-shape to the trigger and put the whole package together using a vise:
Grind grooves to the contact surfaces of the wedge and the trigger and weld them together:

Our technology can refine fissile material in a way that the controlled release of nuclear energy could create abundant peaceful energy, or – when released all at once via state vs state launched intercontinental targeted missiles – will ensure nuclear retaliation and global extinction. To negotiate the political terrain of nuclear reality, humans have developed a modern, multi-lateral international society. However, it is not clear whether this will be enough and, like Icarus, we may yet burn up in the sun …
Today, it is estimated 13,410 nuclear warheads (type independent) exist, an 81% reduction from the Cold War peak of 70,300 in 1986 (FAS 2020). However, this reduction is rendered somewhat moot by manifold advancements in fissile material refinement (which are no longer restricted to one Uranium-235 i.e. plutonium, thorium, etc.), stockpiling (IPFM 2015), and missile delivery.
We have never been closer to nuclear anihilation than today – even more so than at the height of the Cold War. The famous ‘Doomsday Clock’, which tracks the time at which nuclear anihiliation of the human species will occur, is the closest it has ever been: 100 seconds to midnight (BAS 2020).
This may sound strange given the lack of coverage in world media, especially considering all the oxygen the Trump phenomenon sucks up. However, nuclear security has never been more relevant. Why is this so? Well, let’s just say several recent events should keep us all up at night -namely that their consequences now threaten the stability of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Regime (NPR) which guards the world like a suit of armor.
One such event happened last year – the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty (INF), a stalwart Cold War treaty signed between the United States and the now extinct Soviet Union – dissolved in front of our eyes after 30 years. Amongst a rising tide of states willing to use nuclear weapons, political instability, and increasing technology, one of our key safeguards against nuclear missile launching has now evaporated largely due to Russian aggression.
At the time of the INF breach, it was discovered that Russia had developed and tested its new nuclear-capable missile, the SSC-8. This missile is incredibly dangerous, as it can be launched from a small infantry unit and carry up to 450kg of nuclear fissile material with a range of 2,500km (MDP). To put this into perspective, imagine a series of ground troops capable of launching a nuclear missile at a city, rather than from monitored silos, submarines, or safeguarded nuclear complexes which are held in check by international society. Add to this nuclear simulations conducted by Russia against Sweden and NATO allies (Stoltenberg 2015) and the gravity of the situation begins to take hold.
These events have potentially reignited a nuclear arms race between Russia and the US, as well as catalysing the ramped up response from NATO’s global defence operations in all theatres of land, sea (including nuclear submarines), and air (Stoltenberg 2019). Russia is not the only destabilizing agent in geo-dynamic nuclear security considerations, but they remain one of the largest today.
A False Hope?
Many are heralding the recent signing and ratification of the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons (TPNW) as a victory and insurance policy, with the assumption that the nuclear club and non-nuclear weapon states will be finally forced to ‘play nice’. However, this is just a treaty (although an incredibly important and historical one) and the hydra of politics, positioning, and force remains unintimidated.
Mohsen Fakhrizadeh, a high profile and senior official in the Iranian nuclear program, was assassinated in November. As a result, the head of Iran’s parliament energy committee Fereydoun Abbasidavani has signaled Iran should increase uranium enrichment, end IAEA cooperation and expel its inspectors, and continue withdrawal efforts from the JCPOA (Tehran Times). In addition to this, Russia has again breached US cybersecurity defences via a coordinated hacking campaign on The Energy Department and National Nuclear Security Administration (which maintains the US’s nuclear stockpile) (Politico 2020).
All this is occurring as The Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT) is losing the faith of its adherents as a key bulwark of the NPR on the multi-lateral/international stage. The point is: for each step human society makes towards avoiding nuclear annihilation, we seem to be taking two steps back. However, not all hope should be lost. If you keep returning to this series, dear reader, we may just make sense of modern nuclear security events yet. The next instalment of ‘Nuke News’ will cover the science of nuclear weapons.

What is a silencer?
A silencer works by slowing down the escaping gas, which also reduces the velocity of the bullet.
When a gun is fired, the gunpowder behind the bullet is ignited which creates an expansion of high-pressure gas. It’s the pressure of the gas that forces the bullet down the barrel. When the bullet exits the barrel, the pressure behind the bullet is powerful enough to make that loud noise associated with the shot.
A silencer, properly attached to the gun, has 20 to 30 times the volume of the gun barrel, giving the gas behind the bullet room to expand. When the gas expands, the pressure drops significantly. When the bullet finally does exit the silencer, there is much less pressure and therefore, the sound of the gun firing is much softer.
Revelation Arms carries an inventory of high-quality silencers manufactured at our facility in Aloha, Oregon. Call us to see if we have one that will work for your gun. If not, we can easily custom manufacture a silencer to suit your needs.

Washington which pulled away from the INF Treaty entered into by both sides launched a cruise missile which is part of the short range weapons that have banned over the years. President Vladimir Putin who summoned key defense officials said Russia would not fold its hand and watch. He said it would launch weapons of its own as a direct response to Washington’s action. He said that Russia would not allow its global interests to be threatened by the United States. America had unilaterally withdrawn from the INF treaty, two years before it was due to expire, thus raising fears that a return to the era of the cold war and the armed race might be inevitable. Meanwhile, North Korea has continued missile tests much to the consternation of South Korea and Japan, two principal allies of the United States. The last projectiles fired by the North which landed close to Japan was assessed by the US as short range missiles. Washington continues to down play the actions of the Koreans who do not appear for now, to be ready to denuclearize. China has so far maintained stoic silence in the wake of developments within its sphere of influence. Instead, it is focusing intensely on the trade war between it and the United States which is impacting negatively on the global economy.

The British military has amassed at least 500 drones for its ambitious plan to have a third of Royal Air Force to consist of remotely piloted aircraft by 2030, local media reported.
The Ministry of Defence (MoD) is also looking for ways to increase the amount of UK airspace in which to fly some of the drones, The Guardian reported.
The expansion of the fleet of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) is in line with the MoD’s ambitions.
But the disclosure will dismay campaigners who have raised ethical and legal concerns over UAVs, which have been used extensively in Afghanistan, and by the CIA to target Taliban and al-Qaida leaders across the border in Pakistan.
There is currently only one British base where UAVs and normal aircraft can fly together in the same airspace – the privately owned West Wales Airport (WWA) in Aberporth.
The MoD has been using the airfield to test the new Watchkeeper surveillance drone and is working with the Department for Transport and the Civil Aviation Authority to “open up more airspace to remotely piloted systems”, the ministry said.
The military runs a number of UAV systems, from the Reaper, which can carry Hellfire missiles and laser-guided bombs, to the Black Hornet mini-helicopter, which can fit in the hand. Both have been used extensively in Afghanistan, as has the Hermes 450 surveillance drone which will be replaced by the new Watchkeeper; the army has bought 54 of the new aircraft, and the manufacturer Thales told The Guardian it had delivered 27 of them.
The MoD insists British UAVs operate within a robust framework and are subject to the same rules of engagement as fast jets and military surveillance planes. | weapons_science |

The game is becoming popular and the competition is growing on the battle ground. But, there are some of the deadliest weapons that can give you an edge in the game.
The deadliest weapons in the game are:
AWM is one of the deadliest guns that has the longest range. It can kill a player wearing level 3 helmet with a headshot from a distance of almost 500 meters. If you want this gun during the next game, look for airdrops.
A crossbow might be a difficult weapon to use, but once a player learns to use it, it can be very destructive. One shot of the crossbow is good to kill another opponent. However, most players avoid it because the reload time of a crossbow is very high and almost fatal in a high intensity game.
M24 is the second most deadliest sniper rifle that players usually prefer because of the range of attachments that can be mounted on this rifle to make it a nightmare for your opponents. It can kill a player wearing level 2 headgear with one single headshot.
- KAR 98
Kar 98 might not be the most powerful weapon in the game but it has been known to kill the most players. It can knock down a player wearing level 2 vest and helmet, which usually most players wear in the game.
This sniper rifle is available only in Miramar and Sanhok and can kill a player wearing level 1 gear with one shot only. To reduce the reload time on this weapon, you can attach bullet loops to it as well. | weapons_science |

For this reason, the LC9s is well suited for small framed shooters and those wishing to carry it concealed. Additionally, the LC9s has a reputation for reliability and accuracy and is easy to control, even in the hands of a relatively inexperienced shooter. Obviously, this is a big plus. Finally, the LC9s is chambered in 9mm Luger, which is a great choice for a self-defense cartridge because it is powerful enough to deal with most threats, is commonly available, is reasonably priced, and has manageable recoil.
All in all, the Ruger LC9s is an excellent all-around handgun for women to consider for self-defense. Additionally, the CW9 also uses a 7 round single stack magazine. While that is not as many rounds as some handguns on this list, this fact does make the CW9 significantly thinner, which is good for people with smaller hands. A problem with the CW9 is that it has a pretty stiff recoil spring and some women can have difficulty racking the slide on it. However, it is a nice self-defense handgun for women who can handle this issue. The synthetic grip makes the revolver easy to hold and noticeably reduces recoil.
The Bodyguard also has an ambidextrous cylinder release and comes standard with an integrated Crimson Trace laser sight. Used properly, the laser sight can provide a psychological edge in a stressful situation and allow for easier aiming in reduced lighting. Similar to the. Though at just over 1" wide, it is slightly wider than the Kahr CW9, it is still small enough to be easily concealable and comfortable for most shooters with small hands.
While it only has a 6 round magazine, the Glock 43 is still a worthy entry on this list of the best self-defense handguns for women because it does such a great job combining small size with the legendary reliability Glocks are known for. It is also just generally an outstanding choice for shooters with smaller hands.
The Generation 4 variant of the Glock 19 has a dual recoil spring system that also acts to reduce the amount of recoil felt by the shooter. Additionally, the handgun also comes with a modular grip system that allows the shooter to further customize the grip depending on the size of the shooter's hands.
The magazine release on the Glock 19 Gen4 is also easily modified to accommodate left or right handed shooters. The Glock 19 accepts 10, 15 standard , 17, and 33 round magazines, which gives the shooter plenty of ammunition to deal with a threat. Keep in mind though that, as a "compact" handgun, the Glock 19 is by definition, a compromise, which won't please everyone. Shooters wanting an even smaller handgun for concealed carry should consider the Glock 26 or the Glock 43, while shooters not concerned with concealing it and who want a larger handgun that is easier to shoot should consider the Glock That being said, the Glock 19 Gen4 is arguably the all-around best handgun for women and it should come as no surprise that it is also one of the most popular self-defense handguns for women as well.
The Sig Sauer P is a compact pistol chambered in. Like any pistol from the family, it has an all metal frame. With a weight of just over 15 ounces, it is slightly though not excessively heavier than similar sized polymer pistols, such as the Ruger LCR or Glock However, that could be a good or a bad thing depending on how you look at it. For instance, this helps tame the already mild recoil of the. One disadvantage of the Sig P is that, like the Glock 43, it also has a 6 round magazine. All in all, the Sig P is still a fantastic choice and is certainly worth looking into as a good self-defense handgun for women.
See what fits your hand the best, experiment with manipulating the controls on each handgun, and compare how each gun shoots. Everyone has different needs and what works for one person may not work for another. Any defensive firearm is a compromise of reliability, carryability, capacity, shootability, fit, comfort and several other factors.
No single firearm is likely to max out in every category for any given person. Choose your compromises carefully and keep in mind the order of priority suggested here when you make your next defensive firearm purchase. Click here to cancel reply. I recently switched from Glock 19 to Glock 26 for everyday carry and there is a big difference in my desire to wear the gun every day. Any updates to recommended firearms? Shield, XDs, how is the Walther doing, Caracal was recalled and is out again? It is the next evolution in the XD line. Hi my family member!
I want too say that this post is amazing, nice written and come with almost all significant infos. Exceptional ost but I was wanting to know if you could write a litte more oon this subject? I am in fact happy to read this webpage posts which carries lots of helpful data, thanks for providing these kinds of statistics. Just curious as I am looking to get a single stack 9, or the , to go with a converted Glock I just really want a 9mm though, actually leaning towards the Kahr, and keeping the Glock 27 converted to a 9mm.
The trigger pull on this gun is closest to that 5 to 6 pound pull and has shown to be generally reliable when students have brought them to class. If you are in the market for a single stack 9mm MSF handgun I would highly recommend adding the Springfield Armory XDs model to your list of potential purchases.

SA has been a PDN tour sponsor for the last two years and has supplied XDs handguns as loaners all of which have performed excellent. Excellent post. I live in an area which has been undergoing personal attacks on civilians, leading to myself and many of my neighbors to carry arms as a personal and neighborhood defense. This article addresses a lot of the real concerns a civilian has when thinking about incorporating a handgun into their everyday lives. Issues or wearability and the minimal caliber needed are a refreshing change from other posts I have come across.
I wonder if you have thoughts or articles regarding the proper level and type of training suitable for personal use again, not everyone can commit to full military training with a handgun and even it we did, it is a different set of goals for personal protection. Can you elaborate on why a safety is not necessary?
That seems very unsafe, no? In military service, safeties are used all the time. Here at the PDN site there is a wealth of information covering this topic. As for manual safety on personal defense firearms. These manual safeties require a person to dedicate additional resources to training to be able to run the gun properly. These require additional training time to be dedicated to learning the two very different trigger pulls. If a person properly trains to keep their finger somewhere other than the trigger high index until ready to shoot the safeties found on the MSF guns are sufficient.
A Helpful Guide to Choosing Your First Gun for Self Defense
If you are a premium member here is part 1 of a 4 part series on the guns I recommend and why. Here it goes. Last, but not least, is the choice of the design: a concealed carry pistol should be as snag-proof as possible, featuring little or no sharp edges that may be caught in the clothes when the gun is being drawn. Full-size pistols are mostly conceived for open carry; if worn with summer clothes or tailored suits, a huge full-size, double-stack magazine pistol or large-frame revolver will be close to impossible to conceal.
In this case, a compact or semi-compact pistol would be a better choice, as they can also be carried with Inside-the-Pants holsters with little or nodiscomfort at all.
Remember: the less comfortable, the highest is the tentation to leave the gun at home. That's the first and foremost feature that a firearm must possess. Every time that the trigger is pulled, a round must be fired, period. Self-defense guns must be verified, tested and tuned when necessary, along with ammunition and magazines, all of which should have no defect whatsoever. Nothing can be left to case or fortune. Ammunition reliability tests should be carried out by firing several boxes of ammo from different brands.
In this phase, newbies would be better off asking for assistance from competent, expert shooters that may help them in identifying and solving any problem that may arise. The only thing you'll actually need is training. So, don't spend all your money to purchase the latest finely tuned custom-grade pistol: spend it rather for ammunition at the range.
Choosing Self Defense Guns
Guns are inert, inanimated objects, working according to the user's skills. Modern metalcrafting and manufacturing techniques boosted the reliability of currently-manufactured pistols and revolvers, and the consistency of said reliability over time. Nowadays firearms are built using high-grade steel, employ metal-injection-molded parts, and fiber-reinforced polymer frames.
These modern, alternative manufacturing materials and procedures ensure longer reliability, allowing for a longer service time: this means that guns may be shot more and more without the need of replacement for particularly sensitive or wear-prone parts. Revolvers are somewhat of a separate chapter. As lightweight as they are, these revolvers still handle full-power. That's the reason why an inexperienced shooter should ponder their purchase very well Their lighter weight has a downside, in that the recoil level is above the standards for this category of guns, and may be extreme for non-skilled shooters.
During a gunfight there's no time nor the necessary lucidity to think, so shooters should have a plan ready in advance: when your life is at stack, the more time you need to think about how to draw and operate your gun, the thinner your chances of success are. The best thing would be to just draw, point, and pull the trigger: the brain shouldn't be asked to remember and elaborate other operations, which are simple as long as you perform them calmly at the range, but become hellishly complicated when your life is on the line.
Under stress, one may even forget to disengage a manual safety; this means that the perfect defensive pistol should feature no manual safety, no magazine safety, no key safety, but just automatic safeties that the shooter won't need to worry about, such as the striker and trigger safeties found on most, if not all, of modern striker-fired pistols.
Each and every of these trigger systems has its pros and cons. Technically speaking, this would prevent accidental discharges; unfortunately, the double-action trigger becomes useless when shooters get used to carrying their gun without a round in the chamber, and must thus rack the slide upon drawing, as this will automatically set the trigger to single action. Recent studies regarding involountary muscle twitches under stress shown that the strenght of an index finger in a hand that closes involountarily out of fear is superior to the amount required to pull any of the triggers currently found on commercial and service firearms, even these with the heaviest trigger pull.
Footages from real shootings and the daily headlines show that, should the "Never put your finger on the trigger unless you're ready to fire" rule of gun safety be ignored, increasing the trigger weight alone won't be enough to avoid accidental discharges. We should thus go for pistols featuring a constant trigger pull. | weapons_science |

The Georgia Bureau of Investigation announced this week that Powder Springs resident Emily Bagwell was promoted to the position of technical leader of the firearms section of the GBI headquarters’ crime lab.
Bagwell’s career with the GBI began in 2015, the same year she received her Master’s Degree in forensic science from Stevenson University. Her first role was that of a firearms scientist where she was tasked with supporting the law enforcement community in both the investigation and trial-preparation stages of criminal cases involving a firearm or other tool. With her training, Bagwell can determine the type of firearm that a bullet or cartridge case was fired from, whether a bullet or cartridge was or was not fired from a specific firearm, the distance between the muzzle of the firearm to the target at the time the firearm was fired, and many other crucial pieces of evidence for criminal cases.
In addition to her Masters Degree, Bagwell has a B.S. degree in Biology from Kennesaw State University and an Associate’s Degree in Science from Young Harris. | weapons_science |

|Written by Wayne Freeman|
|Sunday, 01 June 2008 20:01|
A phrase often tossed around in ‘gun enthusiast’ circles is “Every serious gun owner should have a .22 LR.” The little pills are cheap to buy in bulk and keep you practicing all day for relatively little money… And practice makes perfect, right? While I wholeheartedly agree with the premise that ‘trigger time’ helps improve your skill regardless of the caliber you shoot, I must admit that I don’t always adhere to the rules. I mean… If I’m going to undergo the task of packing up, getting my wife or shooting buddy to drive 35 miles to the range with me, and clean whatever guns we shoot afterwards – I want to pack something with a punch!
It’s gotta be at least a 9mm with just enough ‘kick’ to be satisfying, right? Sure, I have a great little Browning Buckmark Target model that my wife bought as a birthday gift a few years ago… but up until recently I hadn’t been putting large quantities of .22LR bullets downrange with it. My biggest problem with .22’s is that the reliable ones don’t look cool. Yeah, I know that’s silly – but I guess I just like pulling up to the lane with a big ass ‘hand cannon’ so I can blow holes in paper.
Well let’s just say that between the money we’ve spent getting this site running and the fact that 9mm now costs $200 a case, I’ve been inspired to rethink my shooting habits. I figured if I wanted to get enough trigger time to stay fairly proficient, I would have to involve more .22LR shooting into my routine. I guessed I could stick with this .22 thing if I could fill out my collection with reliable guns that provided a shooting experience similar to their centerfire counterparts. Since I already had a pistol to play around with, my .22 ‘trainer’ needed to be a rifle…Then the fever hit...I was having visions of a kick-ass tacti-cool sniper-type .22 rifle. And thus, my search began.
SELECTION CRITERIA – PICKING THE PERFECT RIFLE
I admit it – my goals for this project were somewhat lofty. It wasn’t that I couldn’t build exactly what I wanted; I would merely have to pay to get everything just right. So, I started out by holding myself to a budget. Okay, it was more like a ballpark number. I settled on $800...Who couldn’t build a .22 for $800, right?
First, I needed to find a platform to build on that was both reliable and easily modifiable. With a ballpark price in mind, I set out on the wild, wild web to find out what others who had a few weekends and too much money were doing. As it turns out, most people who love “mainstream” .22’s worship at the altar of the Ruger 10/22. Their cathedral happens to be a forum called RimfireCentral.com. A guy could get into a ton of trouble looking through the pages over there. The crew over at RFC has taken to calling their “tricked-out” 10/22’s ‘Ultimates’. You can apparently make these things stunningly accurate, and they can be made to look like anything you wanted it to. After viewing a few hundred threads on modifications made to the 10/22 platform, I was convinced that I needed to pick up a Ruger and be done with it.
As a secondary criteria (and it was a close second), I wanted the completed rifle to be very lightweight. I consider myself to be a decent shot, but I bore easily trying (note – I said trying) to achieve ‘same hole’ groups at 50 yards. I’d rather be walking around the desert plinking or picking off Mr. Cottontail. I was completely willing to sacrifice a bit of accuracy for the capability to carry the rifle without having it weigh me down.
In keeping with the ability to carry the .22 on camping trips to the middle of nowhere, I wanted to make sure that the gun could take a few bumps and bruises without incurring damage that would alter its function. In particular, I wanted to make sure that the muzzle crown wasn’t damaged, the scope was strong enough to withstand a fall, and the stock didn’t break in half. These are basic durability criteria one would use when paying $800 for any firearm
Last but not least, I wanted the finished product to be my own. Yes, there may be a million other guns that look like it, but when all is said and done, this one will be built especially for me. To that end, I took great care to include every feature that I would need, and omit those that didn’t matter. If I wanted to meet my objectives, I would have to toss most of the original gun away. On the first pass, I opted to replace the stock, add a new barrel, and use a high quality scope setup. Yeah, that’s all I really need.
Keeping in mind that this 10/22 project is my very first, I left a bit of wiggle room in the definition of the word “need”. My initial list looked like this:
For this critical piece of the puzzle, I chose to use Tactical Solutions’ 16.5” lightweight threaded bull barrel. The main thing that attracted me to this particular barrel was its weight. It is essentially a fluted aluminum tube with a rifled steel sleeve at its center. This keeps weight to a minimum (15 ounces in its stock configuration), while providing a better heat sink than other commonly used ‘sleeving’ materials (such as Carbon Fiber). Tactical Solutions chambers their 22LR barrels in what they call a “hybrid” configuration. While not quite as tight as a match chamber, the TS barrel provides better accuracy than any stock Ruger barrel (with maybe the 10/22T as an exception), while allowing the shooter to use a larger variety of (read: cheap-ass) ammo. I felt that this barrel made an ideal-for-me tradeoff between plinking at the range and match-grade.
For protection of the muzzle crown, I added the Tactical Solutions compensator. This adds another 1.5” to the barrel length, and contributes to the ‘badass’ look of the gun. In addition, I don’t have to worry about banging things up a bit.
I purchased my barrel and compensator from Dennis at Mizzou Mule Guns in Anchorage, Alaska by way of Missouri. Cost was $245 shipped for both items. Dennis is a great guy to talk to over the phone, and his prompt service has earned my business and my recommendation to others.
When I started this project, the image of “my .22” plastered inside my head looked a lot like FN’s Patrol Bolt Rifle. Basically, its Hogue stock “does it” for me. Fortunately, Hogue makes one of their excellent over-molded stocks for 10/22’s (with or without bull barrel) for not too much coin. In fact, the Hogue stock is one of the ‘go to’ stocks for the Rimfire Central crowd, and thus came highly recommended. It’s not designed to squeeze every bit of potential accuracy out of the 10/22 design, but does provide a very durable and snug housing for the setup. After seeing so many glowing reviews, I was sold. Since we’re in the desert, I figured I’d pick something tan to match the landscape – not to mention that most people on RFC have the black or OD green versions.
I found the stock available from Jim King of GUNKINGS.COM for the paltry sum of $75. Jim’s prices are fair, and his 10/22 selection is outstanding. He is another highly recommended source of rimfire ‘stuff’.
I could seriously do an entire article on picking the right scope setup for a rimfire setup. It probably took me longer to find a good, lightweight, cost-effective scope than it did to pick the rifle. I wanted a scope that I could do some nice precision work at 25 and 50 yards, while having the ability to back off the power ring enough to make a normal hunting shot. So, I limited myself to either the 3x-9x or 4x-12x power range for this rifle.
After a few days of research, I determined that I needed a scope that had adjustable parallax (basically the ability to focus the target image) down to 25 yards. Most rimfire-specific scopes that aren’t adjustable simply have their parallax adjusted for the 50-yard range (as opposed to 150 yards for non-adjustable centerfire-oriented scopes). This means that a 25-yard image will appear blurry at the higher magnification ranges. Although I was trying to make a cost-conscious scope buy, I wasn’t about to forego range work at 25 yards. So, my criteria included Adjustable Objective (AO) or Side Focus (SF) scopes (two different ways of achieving the same thing – only the adjustment knob lies in a different place) at a minimum.
After looking at excellent scopes from Leupold, Nikon, and Sightron, I finally settled on a Bushnell Elite 3200. For well under $300, this scope offered a 4x-12x power range, a 40mm adjustable objective, and a fairly compact 12” package. It has very clear optics and can handle anything a 22LR can throw at it. This scope was available at one of our distributors, so I ordered directly from them at attractive dealer pricing.
Base and Rings
I was entirely exhausted after picking out a scope, so I picked the first high-quality base and rings that came to mind. Fortunately, Power Custom’s excellent weaver base and Warne’s all steel QD Maxima rings (I used low height) worked well together and provided enough stability during the troubleshooting phase that would come later.
Now, there are about a billion other things you can buy to enhance a 10/22, like triggers, mag latches, bolt releases, etc… I figured I’d start with the basics and see what else I felt I needed after shooting a while.
After about a weeklong wait, all the important bits and pieces had arrived. It was time to start the assembly! | weapons_science |

Former Secretary of Defense William Perry (under Clinton) has called for a pre-emptive attack on the missile base, while George Bush is in Vienna discussing options with leaders of the European Union:
“Therefore, if North Korea persists in its launch preparations, the United States should immediately make clear its intention to strike and destroy the North Korean Taepodong missile before it can be launched. This could be accomplished by a cruise missile launched from a submarine carrying a high-explosive warhead. The effect on the Taepodong would be devastating. The multi-story, thin-skinned missile filled with high-energy fuel is itself explosive — the U.S. airstrike would puncture the missile and cause it to explode. The carefully engineered test bed for North Korea’s nascent nuclear missile force would be destroyed, and its attempt to retrogress to Cold War threats thwarted.” – Ashton B. Carter and William J. Perry

The Most Feared Destroyer - Documentary Movies.
Before World War II, destroyers were light vessels with little endurance for unattended ocean operations; typically a number of destroyers and a single destroyer tender operated together. After the war, the advent of the guided missile allowed destroyers to take on the surface combatant roles previously filled by battleships and cruisers.

If you are an m416 lover then you at the correct place as we have discussed all the queries related to M416 Gun.
When we talk about Pubg mobile & its guns then there are various arguments & personal opinions about the best gun skins.
M416 is considered as one of the best AR (Assault Refile) among all players & also by custom players. We can’t ignore this gun when it comes to long-range as well as mid or close ranges fights. It seems to work well in almost every fight.
Reasons why M416 is preferred over other weapons in Pubg?
M416 requires the most attachments of any assault rifle together with the mutant and the optional attachments are muzzle, sights, grips & Magazine.
This gun is extremely accurate when spraying which is why many highly skilled players love to use it with a scope. The combination of decent damage per second and an easy to control spray together with a high velocity makes the m416 a beast weapon. Sprays of M416 are so powerful and stable that it can easily knock the players in moving vehicles.
Pair of M416 and DMR’s makes a highly explosive package that shreds moving targets. This weapon is most versatile in the game it works great in all available maps and almost all the situations and while it does requires a lot of attachment’s you can still perform great without the ideal setup be careful of getting close to enemies with an Uzi or vector as those guns are specifically tuned to deal with assault refiles in close range. So, you should use the m416 because you want to minimize the situations where you are at a disadvantage.
Stats & Recoil:
- The damage of M416 is 41, which is same as the M16A4 & the SCAR – L
- It has bullet velocity about 880 m/s which is slightly faster than SCAR-L & slightly lower than the M16A4.
- It offers Very Low horizontal recoil which makes the spray will be easy to control & it simply ensure that more bullets will hit the desired target
The Best Attachments:
This weapon needs as many as 5 attachments to ensure using the gun at its full potential. For muzzles and mag, Suppressor and Extended Quickdraw win the round surely. Stock is a necessary attachment to reduce recoil. When it comes to foregrips though, it depends on weapon usage. Long-range: Vertical Foregrip. Medium Range: Angled Foregrip. Close Range: Thumb Grip (for spraying). If you ask me to select one, I would go with the Half Grip. When it comes to scopes, all of the available scopes in the game except the 8x work efficiently with the M416. We recommend attaching a 4x scope or 3x for long-range and for short-range red dot should be used.
Currently, we recommend you to use M416 with compensator, angle grip, stock, and 6x scope. Most of the pro players use this technique to achieve perfection. And if you are not able to master 6x scope than it’s better to make it 3x scope. It’s a phenomenal combination for maximum results.. | weapons_science |

Keep YOUR finger straight and off the trigger, outside the trigger guard until your sights are up on target and you are ready to shoot.
Never cover ANYTHING with the muzzle of your weapon you are not willing to destroy.
Be SURE of your target, consider the foreground and background.
"Responsible firearms ownership is much more than simply owning a gun and ensuring it's locked up. It's a continuous process of training both the mental and physical aspect. Marksmanship is a highly perishable skillset, but to a higher degree, the mental training must encompass that the intent of the weapon, is to take a life." - Director of Security | weapons_science |

This all came about when Rem announced their trigger recall: My rifle was part of the recall, but I was NOT looking forward to shipping it off to Remington. StainTrain mentioned the Timney drop-in trigger replacements, and that was basically not a good thing for me... I'll damn sure upgrade a part out of my pocket before I have a factory work on a stock product and "call it good." End-All Report, though - I can't thank you enough for that advice, Stain. :hail: :happydrunks: So, a few weeks go by, I give it no thought. I load up a bunch of guns to hit the range, and I wanted to grab the 700. I didn't because of the trigger recall - and I hadn't done $HIT yet about it. That night last week, I hopped on Timney's website and almost ordered the trigger - checking out and evverything. When it came down to the shipping page, I noticed they were in PHX. I had no idea. I tried to call, but they were closed - 7am to 3pm local time, PHX time. Cancelled the online order right then, and waited... Damn good PHX hours, I must say! Seriously! Called the next morning at about 7:30am, and I asked them if they have a retail storefront, so I can come in and buy, locally. They informed me that they DO NOT have a storefront, but the DO have a manufacturing facility, and they ARE at work during hours listed, and I will be allowed to visit the ladies in the Admin Office and pick up a trigger. They asked what I want, and I tell them "Rem 700 flat trigger, Model 517." They ask what pull weight I want, so I request 2.5 lbs. They tell me it will be ready for pickup anytime after 12pm that day. WHAAAT?! :eek: <laughs> :banana: THAT right there is SERVICE!!! <lmao> At any rate, I stopped by the manufacturing facility, visited the Admin Office, and picked up my trigger. They were awesome. ((Side note - if any of you guys need to visit that manufacturing facility, and purchase a trigger, pay for it with green dollar bills. I'm just sayin'... :)) )) Love it so far, but won't get to shoot it until next Thursday. Damn fine trigger for the 700 - I'd advise ANYBODY to go this route, over sending in their 700 to Remington. I had that X-Mark Pro trigger adjusted as light as it would go, and it's no way a comparison to this Timney trigger. Also, go with the flat trigger - don't hesitate. On this rifle, it's worlds apart from a curved trigger (TImney's 510, or any other curved trigger). REALLY diggin the Choate Tactical Stock, too. Yes, it's a CHOATE stock. I just hope it's not as flimsy as my 930SPX extension tube - that I've never had a problem with. What a dickhead that guy was... ^^^ That stock is SOLID AS HELL, by the way. Fuckin' LOVE IT. Wide barrel channel, too - milled for 1 1/4" barrels, and this is a 1" barrel - freefloat forever in this monster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An Astute Choice: Anglo-Australian Cooperation on Nuclear Submarines in Historical Perspective
This article assesses the strategic dilemma posed by the decision to acquire twelve submarines for the Royal Australian Navy. It evaluates the history of US and British collaboration with Australia with respect to submarines, noting the US commitment to supporting allied surface fleets, but not necessarily submarine capability. It challenges the argument that the submarine should be conventional and suggests that any attempt to create a hybrid using Air Independent Propulsion (AIP) is likely to see an expensive re-run of the Collins problems. There could now be scope to leverage a long association with Britain and utilise that country‘s work on nuclear attack submarines. | weapons_science |

I realise this thread might belong in the books thread, but I find this subject compelling and disturbing in equal measure and wanted to see what some of you intelligent folks thought.
"Weighing in at 5 tonnes, the first ever nuclear bomb, nicknamed 'the gadget', was resting atop a 100 foot steel tower, ready to be detonated. At 5:30am, July 6th 1945, the bomb was detonated and the world changed forever..."
Regarding the bombing of Hiroshima, Co-pilot Captain Robert A Lewis kept an astonishing minute by minute account of the attack. His reaction to the mushroom cloud is recorded thus : "My God, what have we done?? Everyone in the plane is actually dumbstruck, even though we expected something fierce. This was the greatest explosion man has ever witnessed......just how many did we kill??"
Now some TRUE stories to scare the hell out of you :
On June 3rd 1980, a training tape used to train radar and computer operators to recognise a full scale soviet nuclear attack, was mistakenly run at the NORAD detection operation. The commander of operations, thinking he was viewing the scenario for real, alerted those higher in command, and over 100 B52 bombers loaded with nuclear warheads were made ready for retaliation. The error was realised at the last minute and the alert was cancelled.
On 24th January 1961, two 25 megaton nuclear warheads were released after a B52 bomber broke apart over north carolina. One bomb parachuted to safety, but the other crashed into a waterlogged area of farmland. When it was found, it was discovered that 5 of the 6 safety devices had failed, and an explosion one thousand times more powerful than the hiroshima bomb had almost took place.
On July 26th 1957, a US B47 plane was practising a landing at an RAF airfield in cambridge. The pilot lost control and the plane smashed into a storage building that housed 3 nuclear bombs. The planes fuel threatened to ignite the TNT components of the bombs, but firefighters managed to put out the fire.
The cuban missile crisis needs no introduction, Mutually Assured Destruction was almost put into practise.
We all remember the millenium bug - many religious fanatics prophecised the end of the world, computer experts worried that computer crashes and destruction of valuable data would occur - vital systems would fail and chaos would reign. This was only the half of it. Nuclear arsenals, satellites, radars and triggering devices were all under the control of computers. The west spent billions of pounds bringing systems up to speed, but even with such massive expenditure, there were still doubts among high ranking specialists that the 'quick fix' would work. In the former soviet union the picture was even bleaker. Until february 1999, Russia's military leaders flatly denied that their nuclear forces could possibly face problems from the millenium bug. Most worrying was Russia's nuclear control system, named 'perimeter', which ensured that if Moscow looked to be under attack, or even if command links to key Russian leaders were interrupted, Perimeter would automatically launch thousands of nuclear weapons. President Bill Clinton and Boris Yeltzin planned a joint US/Russian early warning centre to prevent any 'mis-haps'. This was reassuring, until a US Department of defence worker was asked when it would be ready for use. "We're hoping to have it done for late '99, it could be early 2000. It's a complex process, obviously ....". In the end it was widely argued that the only way to be sure to avoid catastrophe was for all nations to agree to de-arm their nuclear weapons during the danger period. None of the worlds nuclear powers were willing to do this, so as we entered the new millenium all we could do was pray.
What are your thoughts on this? Is a major nuclear incident or exchange a possibility? Which nations on this planet are stupid enough to destroy their enemies and themselves just to prove a point? Where does the nuclear danger lie primarily? Is the middle east destined to become the nail in our coffins? Are we completely powerless? What gives ANYONE the right to have THAT much power?
Thanks for reading if you did!

fair enough you're not bothered, but it IS likely.
I think there is an assumption by the british and american public that we are unrivalled superpowers and are relatively safe.
September the 11th should have changed a lot of minds, but here we are several years down the road and it's all but forgotten apart from those directly affected.
The former soviet union manufactured over 30 nuclear bombs small enough to fit into a large briefcase. when it broke up, management went to pot, and they freely admit that several are unaccounted for, and they have no idea where they may be. These bombs are capable of levelling several city blocks, and radioactive fallout from them would ensure many more deaths.
Bin Laden approached the soviets years ago to buy uranium and other materials, used to make nuclear warheads. The soviets refused, but who is to say just where these bombs have ended up.

As for by far the most unlikely way, I'd rank being gored by a small raspberry cookie less likely. However, perhaps I'm merely naive. I tend not to worry too much now - in my current situation there's little I could really do to avert the problem if a nuke were to descend upon Sunny Saffron Walden..
Theres Millions of ways in which you can die and this is by far one of the most unlikely.
> One almightly BANG followed by a whimper
Are you sure you're talking about a nuclear explosion?

I imagine it makes a sound like a big ghost, followed by a camera-shaking low and long rumble.
Something like, BBBOOOOOOOOO - WHOCKOOAHssshhh!

I can see it now, American nuke kills the world.

I've carried a pocket knife off and on for most of my adult life. My brother Richard carried the same Puma folder in his pocket for well over 25 years. For me carrying a knife is a bit of an inconvenient necessity. It wears holes in my trousers and is a little bit of extra weight I have to carry into inaccessible locations. But its more often than not in those same locations that my knife has, over the years saved my "Ass"
These days my knife of choice tends to be of the "multi-tool" variety sporting not only a blade, but a screwdriver, a set of pliers, a file, can opener and believe it or not a small spanner! For my line of work, especially now I'm shooting more video and carrying extra kit with "moving parts" which invariably will come undone and need tightening. A good proportion of my climbing photos and filmwork is done hanging on ropes with lots of rigging, my knife often comes in very handy. So when I think about knifes, I'm thinking practical, small enough to fit in my pocket, lightweight and easy to sharpen. The two most important factors being a sharp blade and the knifes weight.
Recently I was sent a couple of knives to test "out in the field" Neither knife being something I'd have personally chosen made things a little more interesting! The first knife that arrived was made in Italy and came with the rather exotic sounding name of the Viper Maga, evidently a tactical knife (reading between the lines this means its designed to kill things) followed a day later by a huge "beast" of a folder, in a rather disheveled looking grubby white cardboard box. No name with this one I'm afraid (more later) just a note that read "please test to destruction if at all possible" WOW!
My thoughts and findings are going to be less about specification and desirability of the knives I'm testing and more about their actual practicality in an outdoor (and on occasion indoor) environment.
I guess living in the UK, no knife review would be complete without a little bit about the law. I'm sure to a lot of you reading this, especially those in countries where it's perfectly legal to carry a gun, laugh at our laws, and think they sound rather ridiculous. Especially one's that seem to contradict themselves "Lock knives (knives with blades that can be locked when unfolded) are not folding knives" Hmm!
So, just to clarify. Here in the UK it is illegal to "Carry a knife in public without good reason - unless it's a knife with a folding blade 3 inches long (7.62cm) or less and non-locking, eg a Swiss Army Knife" The maximum penalty for an adult carrying a knife is 4 years in prison and a fine of £5,000 ($7,500) If you visit the Goverments web page outlining the law it also lists "Good reasons for carrying a knife" some of which are worth sharing with you guys - "taking knives you use at work to and from work" seems reasonable. "taking knives to a gallery or museum to be exhibited" I personally haven't done that in a while! And my personal favourite "The knife is going to be used for theatre, film, television, historical reenactment or religious purposes" If your court carrying a knife which doesn't meet the current criteria then "A court will decide if you've got a good reason to carry a knife if you're charged with carrying it illegally" so there you have it, a very concise breakdown of where you stand in the UK, if you want to take a look yourself Heres the link http://www.gov.uk/buying-carrying-knives
I get the feeling that the criteria on the site is more about carrying knives in an urban environment, as opposed to the wilderness, it smore of an attempt to dissuade those that might carry and use a Knife for, shall we say "criminal activities" or use one on another person and not really those, like myself who use a knife for what it was originally designed for, chopping up food and cutting things like rope etc.
Over the last couple of weeks I've been putting both knives to good use, chopping, hacking, slicing and cutting my way through lots of different things ranging from wood to carrots, nylon webbing slings to hawser lay rope, opening cans and using it as a spoon to eat with and everything in between. I've also read and watched as many knife reviews as I could "slip in" Most of which seem to come from America and are by people who collect knives, as opposed to actually use the knives, at least thats how the videos come across and seem to talk more about the technical build and aesthetics of the knife, as opposed to how it deals with everyday situations.
So the first review I'll post in a couple of days will be of the Viper Maga from Italy, followed a week or so later by the mystery blade (see photo) hope you enjoy reading them. | weapons_science |
http://crisanzai.com/why-north-koreas-latest-missile-test-is-its-most-dangerous/ | 2021-01-27T22:54:04 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-04/segments/1610704833804.93/warc/CC-MAIN-20210127214413-20210128004413-00059.warc.gz | 0.94146 | 437 | CC-MAIN-2021-04 | webtext-fineweb__CC-MAIN-2021-04__0__14260301 | en | North Korea just launched it’s most advanced nuclear capable ballistic missile (Hwasong-15) a few days ago and it’s one that’s capable of reaching the mainland United States. This is unprecedented as all of the previous missiles that were launched had a limited range and could at worst hit our allies in Guam and maybe the Hawaiian islands.
The real danger isn’t really the nuclear missile hitting the mainland US, but rather an EMP (Electromagnetic pulse) detonated far above the United States. Why would North Korea openly choose an EMP option rather than a direct nuclear attack? The reasons are simple, but two fold – First an EMP doesn’t need to be as accurate as a direct nuclear strike and it’s effects are more wide spread, Second an EMP blast high in the atmosphere is harder to stop. Most of our conventional missile deterrents are built for lower altitude strikes.
What an EMP could do (and there’s a lot of conflicting information out there) is destroy our communications and our power grid. It could destroy communications satellites in space and destroy low voltage communications on the ground (this includes ethernet and telephone lines). The way an EMP could destroy our power grid is by overloading power lines and transformers or overloading smaller connections to the larger grid that aren’t hardened against an EMP. Many power companies have hardened their primary lines against an EMP (as EMPs can be naturally occurring, albeit rare like the great solar storm of 1859) and even our government has hardened are nuclear facilities in case of such an event.
What can you do against an EMP? Well you really can’t do anything. I’ve read that you can make Faraday cages out of metal trash bins and you can even purchase commercially available ones on Amazon, but other than that you can’t really prepare for one. The best you can do is prepare for its aftermath. Have enough food, water, and tools to survive an extended period of time without power. Don’t panic and ride the storm out until infrastructure can be rebuilt.

How to Choose a Chronograph for Hunting in South Africa
Hunting is a popular activity in South Africa, and as a hunter, one of the essential tools you need is a chronograph. A chronograph helps you to measure the velocity of your bullet, which is critical when you want to achieve accuracy and precision in your shots. However, choosing the right chronograph can be overwhelming, especially if you are new to hunting. In this article, we will guide you on how to choose a chronograph for hunting in South Africa.
What is a Chronograph?
A chronograph is a device that measures the velocity of a bullet as it exits the barrel of a gun. It helps hunters and shooters to determine the accuracy of their rifles and the effectiveness of their ammunition.
Why Do You Need a Chronograph for Hunting in South Africa?
In South Africa, hunting is a sport that requires accuracy and precision. The terrain is diverse, and the game is often elusive. A chronograph can help you achieve accuracy and precision by measuring the velocity of your bullet. With this information, you can adjust your sights and ammunition to achieve optimal results.
Factors to Consider When Choosing a Chronograph
Accuracy is critical when choosing a chronograph. You want a device that can give you precise measurements to ensure that you achieve accurate and consistent shots.
Different chronographs have varying speed ranges. When choosing a chronograph, consider the speed range of your firearm. Choose a chronograph that can measure the velocity of your bullet accurately within the speed range of your firearm.
Ease of Use
Choose a chronograph that is easy to use. You don't want to spend too much time setting up the device, especially when you are in the field. Choose a device that has straightforward instructions and is easy to set up and use.
Durability is critical when choosing a chronograph. You want a device that can withstand harsh weather conditions and rough handling in the field. Choose a chronograph made from high-quality materials that can withstand wear and tear.
Choose a chronograph that has good data management capabilities. You want a device that can store and organize data, making it easy to retrieve and analyze later.
Chronographs come in different price ranges. Consider your budget when choosing a chronograph. However, remember that cheaper devices may compromise on quality and accuracy.
Types of Chronographs
Optical chronographs use optical sensors to measure the velocity of a bullet. They are easy to set up and use, but they may not be as accurate as other types of chronographs.
Acoustic chronographs use sound waves to measure the velocity of a bullet. They are more accurate than optical chronographs but can be affected by environmental factors such as wind and temperature.
Doppler chronographs use Doppler radar to measure the velocity of a bullet. They are the most accurate type of chronographs but can be expensive. | weapons_science |

" . . . . Russian guns, relics of the Siege of Sebastopol (ended 1855), were placed in the gardens in 1859 and were removed during the 1930s." The photograph itself is a rather distant shot but it is just possible to make out one of the guns at the north end of the southern garden. It seems probable that there were a pair of cannon one each side of the north entrance and the 1930's photo is of the other one.
Interestingly, 1859 is also the year in which Brighton's West Battery, near the bottom of Cannon Place was demolished and the guns used there were 36-pounders*. I'm not an expert but I believe those in the Old Steine could be 36-pounders too. It all seems too much of a coincidence. Perhaps the Sebastopol relics were simply stored at the battery for the few years before it was demolished. . . ?

The formation of VMFP-3 saw a concurrent deactivation of the three Marine Composite Reconnaissance Squadrons in order to consolidate into two specialized squadrons: VMFP-3 at MCAS El Toro, and VMAQ-2 located at MCAS Cherry Point, North Carolina. All Marine Corps Aviation Reconnaissance mission responsibilities were then tasked to VMFP-3, and all RF-4B assets were brought together at El Toro.
Marine Composite Squadron THREE (VMCJ-3), decommissioned on 1 July 1975, was the nucleus of the new tactical reconnaissance squadron. Early in 1975, the physical reorganization of the VMCJ began with the transfer of all EA-6A aircraft, personnel, and support equipment from VMCJ-3 to the 2nd MAW. Simultaneously, RF-4B assets began to arrive at MCAS El Toro from both the 1st and 2nd MAW's. During March, 1975, the initial designation of personnel of VMFP-3 Detachment ONE was made and the carrier evolution commenced. Detachment ONE arrived at MCAS Iwakuni, Japan on 5 August 1975, to provide tactical reconnaissance for the 1st MAW, and the 7th Fleet when deployed aboard the USS Midway. VMFP-3 provided continuous reconnaissance support aboard the Midway and in the Western Pacific, to include three Indian Ocean deployments during the Iranian hostage crisis.
The RF-4B Phantom II aircraft of VMFP-3 was the latest of a series of Marine tactical reconnaissance jet aircraft flown throughout the history of VMCJ-3. When VMCJ-3 was formed at El Toro on 12 December 1955 its inventory of aircraft consisted of the F9F-5P reconnaissance version of the Panther and the AD-5 electronic warfare version of the Guardian. 1957 saw an update of the EW platform with the arrival of the F3D-2Q Sky Knight. The new electronic warfare platform provided a basis for the use of EW aircraft on joint missions with strike aircraft.
After spending a year at Iwakuni, Japan as part of the 1st MAW, VMCJ-3 returned to El Toro in 1959 with a new photographic aircraft, the F8U-1P. The Crusader greatly increased the combat capabilities of the reconnaissance community of VMCJ-3, providing a supersonic platform for obtaining imagery which was completely compatible with strike aircraft of the day. Also in 1962, the F3D-2Q was redesignated the EF-10B after extensive refitting with new equipment to additionally increase the aircraft's electronic warfare capabilities.
In 1965, the first of the RF-4B Phantom II multisensor reconnaissance aircraft arrived to replace the RF-8U's. The Mach2 (plus) Phantom provides an all-weather capability by incorporating the infra-red sensor and side-looking airborne radar mapping capacity into the normal photographic platform. In 1970 VMCJ-3 retired the last of the EF-10B from Marine aviation and in 1971 received the sophisticated EA-6A electronic warfare aircraft. VMCJ-3 flew the RF-4B, EA-6A, and EF-10B in support of military operations in the Republic of Vietnam.
Since its inception in 1955, VMCJ-3 averaged six weeks of deployment per year, participation in four fleet exercises per year, and maintained a training base for personnel soon to be sent to WESTPAC. Until February, 1975, when the last EA-6A departed for MCAS Cherry Point, North Carolina, the dual capacity of the squadron was reflected by the dual qualifications of a majority of the personnel, both officer and enlisted, who served in the command. The broad training base provided a great deal of flexibility in squadron functioning and operational capabilities.
On 25 August 1975, VMFP-3 commenced a WESTPAC Detachment rotation cycle to the USS Midway and Iwakuni, Japan, in support of III Marine Amphibious Force. This ongoing cycle involved five aircrews, approximately five ground officers, and over 100 enlisted Marines in six month TAD overseas WESTPAC deployments.
Additionally, VMFP-3 supported Marine photographic needs wherever they occur. Detachments of two to six aircraft have been routinely deployed for periods up to three weeks to the East Coast, and on two occasions as far away as Roosevelt Roads, Puerto Rico. On one occasion, a detachment of six aircraft and support personnel participated in NATO exercises in Denmark.
VMFP-3 was awarded the Commandant's Aviation Efficiency Trophy for 1983 in recognition of the teamwork and effort put forth by the Marines in the squadron.Complete list of at-sea periods from June 1981 through April 1991 Dates for VMFP-3 involvement ended on 15 July 1984 due to space considerations when HS-12, with SH-3Hs, reported to CVW-5 | weapons_science |

“The North Koreans have ramped it up,” Joshua Pollack, a senior researcher at the James Martin Center for Nonproliferation Studies, told Toyo Keizai. The tests “started earlier and are going at a faster pace than I had expected,” based on North Korean leader Kim Jong Un’s New Year address to the ruling Workers’ Party plenum, he said.
“Not only has he put his foot down on the gas but he started showing up at these events, which is something he used to do routinely.”
Why this escalation of testing? Some analysts see this as part of a long arc of planned development of North Korea’s missile arsenal, laid out a year ago in Kim’s address to a party congress.
Kim presented a wish list of weapons to be developed, including solid-propellant intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs), hypersonic missiles, tactical nuclear weapons and submarines capable of firing ballistic missiles. Kim made it clear, says Pollack, that they are “still pursuing a military modernization program.”
This verbal show of strength was followed by a series of tests last fall of rail-mobile short-range missiles, designed to be hard to find and able to survive a preemptive strike by the U.S. or even South Korea and Japan.
There was also the first test of a hypersonic glide vehicle, aimed at evading missile defense systems. In October the North Koreans held a ‘defense expo’ where all these weapons and more were displayed, with Kim, his senior military leadership in tow, shown strolling through elaborate exhibits of the new hardware.
A bid to negotiate
Since early January, the North Koreans have carried out four missile tests, two of what they claim to be a hypersonic missile system, along with tests of ballistic missiles fired from a train and short-range, solid-fueled ballistic missiles. Some interpret these tests as an attempt to set the stage for negotiations with the U.S., an effort to create leverage.
In a statement issued after a meeting of the ruling party’s Political Bureau in Pyongyang this week, the North Korean regime denounced the U.S. for its “hostile policy and military threat” and hinted that it may reconsider its current self-imposed moratorium on long-range missile and nuclear tests.
“I think some of this is North Korea trying to get attention,” Secretary of State Anthony Blinken told MSNBC in a January 13 interview. He characterized the North Korean moves as a response to American offers to hold talks, without preconditions. U.S. officials have even interpreted the latest tests as a direct response to recent sanctions.
That view is not entirely shared by most U.S. experts on North Korea. “The recent spate of missile launches was not spontaneous,” says former Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary of State Evans Revere, who has long experience of negotiation with Pyongyang and frequent meetings with senior North Korean officials.
In his view, the North Koreans are pursuing a game plan intended to achieve several goals. First, and probably foremost, Pyongyang aims to “unnerve the United States and remind Washington that the DPRK's missile threat is growing in sophistication and capability, and can now threaten U.S. bases on the Korean peninsula and in nearby Japan,” says Revere. Secondarily, the North Koreans want to establish that these launches are now a normal part of its military posture.
Finally, the former senior State Department official says, the North Koreans seek to “entice the United States into a dialogue designed (in North Korea's mind) to explore whether Washington might be now willing, in light of the escalating missile threat, to try to slow Pyongyang's missile program in return for sanctions easing.” But Revere is quick to add that North Korea has no intention of ending its missile and nuclear programs.
Nonproliferation expert Pollack rejects the idea that this is a negotiating ploy aimed at the U.S. There is no indication of North Korean interest in any engagement at this moment with the U.S., he argues. “It is not paired with any diplomatic outreach,” Pollack points out. “This is not being done for near-term bargaining advantage.”
The political motivation behind the launches
Even if this is not a bid to force talks in the short term, the launches are not just a technical exercise. “It is very clear that missile activity for the North Koreans has a very heavy political component,” former senior State Department non-proliferation official Vann H. Van Diepen told Toyo Keizai.
“If there was no political component you would see very different patterns of activity,” pointing to the decision to provide detailed statements about the tests and their purported outcomes. “What gets tested, when, and probably how – those are dictated by Kim for political reasons,” he says.
The political purpose behind these launches is not entirely clear but Pyongyang is likely addressing both domestic and international audiences, argues Van Diepen, who contributes analyses of the missile testing to 38 North, a website devoted to North Korea.
The party leadership wants to trumpet its technological prowess, not least that it is ahead of South Korea, and bolster the “domestic legitimacy of the regime,” the former State Department official says. But an effort to reach a foreign audience is “not mutually exclusive.” North Korea “can easily be sending messages to Japan and South Korea, and to us, at the same time.”
Deterrence and missile defenses
The testing program since last fall has focused on two primary goals, the experts believe – to demonstrate to the U.S., Japan and South Korea that their nuclear weapons can withstand attack, what is called a “survivable deterrent,” and that they are capable of neutralizing and overwhelming missile defenses.
The tests since January have continued to demonstrate the development of mobile launched systems, mounting missiles on platforms like wheeled transports and trains which are much more difficult to locate and attack.
Some of the mobile launchers have been used to fire shorter-range missiles such as the KN23, a tactical weapon that has the range to hit targets in South Korea. But they have also tested the Hwasong 8 missile, which can target Japan, and perhaps ultimately the U.S. bases on Guam.
The testing program has also perfected fueling systems that do not require long – and more visible – preparations of the rocket before launch. The North Koreans have been carrying out tests of solid fuels that offer that quick-launch capability. But they also claim to have successfully tested more powerful liquid fuels that can be prepackaged in the factory and shipped to the rocket forces for immediate use, a technique known as “ampoulization.”
The most widely publicized tests in January were of what the North Koreans claimed were of “hypersonic” missiles that can carry a warhead on a glided vehicle able to maneuver around missile defenses. The weapons are designed to put American bases in South Korea and Japan at risk, as well as Japanese and Korean forces.
“If this technology does what experts say it can do, our bases in Korea (and ROK bases) and Japan (and Self Defense Force bases) are now under a new threat that we don't now have the ability to counter,” former State Department official Revere told me.
Some press accounts, bolstered by statements from senior U.S. military officials, have labeled these missiles as “game-changers.” But many experts dismiss such claims as the overhyped salesmanship of a defense industry eager for contracts to build similar systems.
The term “hypersonic” is itself misleading, those experts say, since the missiles use the same rockets as other ballistic missiles, which already go far faster.
The main threat represented by these systems is not from their speed but the ability of the glider-shaped warheads that detach from the tip of the rocket to fly faster through the atmosphere and carry out unpredictable turns and maneuvers that make it harder for missile defenses to detect and intercept them.
These are called Hypersonic or Ballistic Glide Vehicles (HGV) or also Maneuverable Reentry Vehicles (MARV). The HGV uses more advanced specialized materials that allow it to enter the atmosphere at higher speeds and make more drastic maneuvers.
The North Koreans issued statements that they first tested the more advanced HGVs last fall, and again on January 5 and 11. The statements claim these were the “final test-fire” of an HGV that made a dramatic maneuver to hit a target a thousand kilometers away.
But American experts are skeptical of those claims and believe the more recent tests were of MARVs, which carried out some degree of maneuver – “not a drastic maneuver,” says Van Diepen, but “a right-hand turn.” This was visible in photos of Kim observing the launch which showed a video screen with a trajectory roughly consistent with what Japanese tracking also observed, he says.
There is clearly a challenge for existing radar tracking and missile defenses to hit these vehicles, experts mostly agree. But it is hardly impossible since infrared satellite data can see the launch and a good part of the trajectory, and share that data with South Korean and Japanese interceptor operators. In any case, these MARVs are a minor contributor to other ways to beat missile defenses already tested by North Korea.
“This is not a game-changer, particularly in the theater context,” says Van Diepen, who served as the Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for International Security and Nonproliferation for seven years and previously as the National Intelligence Officer for Weapons of Mass Destruction and Proliferation.
“The North Koreans already have oodles of ways to overcome missile defenses,” the former senior official told me. “They can overwhelm the defense. They can target it with different weapon systems simultaneously.”
Despite the alarming coverage, North Korea’s claimed hypersonic weapons are at most a “niche capability,” he says. “But it is sexy, it is scary and they are clearly exploiting that.” | weapons_science |

I was asked the other day by someone what my favorite gun is of all the guns I have.
I replied that I couldn’t answer that question without more information. I asked favorite for what? Many of you might know the routine. Then I helped dial in the questions very specifically not only for what species of gamebird when we got to it, but in what hunting scenario. Pheasant for example. I asked well are we talking wild pheasants, liberated pheasants, pen raised birds stashed in a bush or a launcher, type of field we were hunting, how many people and dogs are with us? Is it early season or late season? What is the weather like? I will often carry different loads as well regardless of what gun I am carrying. Then of course there are guns that only come out in good weather, and guns specifically for wet nasty weather if I am ambitious enough to go out.
Each scenario to me is a different favorite gun. Now don’t get me wrong, I will try to make due with anything I have in my hands, I will prepare ahead of time for my hunts thinking carefully about gun selection, but more importantly ammunition selection, and choke adjustment. I will always have a back up gun available for someone who forgets or in the event of a problem with my primary gun in the field.
I also carry a few different loads based on what conditions may be that day, or to adapt if they turn out to be different than I expected. Especially if I am shooting an over and under or a side by side (Thanks Dez young for that!), I will always have a different choke tube in each barrel, and I may have different loads in each barrel. For example my top barrel which is what I usually fire first will generally have a wider choke and a lighter load since I am likely standing closer to the bird upon flush. My bottom barrel will have a tighter choke and a heavier faster load since it probably means I missed my first shot and the bird is now farther away. This is the single best reason to hunt with an over and under shotgun or a side by side. It allows this scenario over a pump or semiautomatic that just puts more rounds through the same choke. I have in the old days staggered my loads in my other guns in case I missed my first shot so I can follow up with a magnum load for example for my second shot. In trials however there my be specific rules on the shells allowed so then the only second shot option is a different choke from a different barrel, or a much more careful shot. The second best reason for side by sides or over and under shotguns is they really are safer in the field for everyone in the field. With the action open everyone can clearly see from a distance the firearm is safe and not ready to fire, or know that it is ready to fire. third reason is they are a gentleman’s gun. It elevates you to a different class of sportsman to use one. No longer can you down a whole covey on the rise, you have two shots. You are a better conservationist and better sportsman. You are focused on dog work, the outdoors; even on your own responsibility to practice and be proficient with shooting. It isn’t about bagging all the birds you can, it is about the whole experience. This doesn’t mean I am against a semiautomatic with an extension tube and perhaps 10 rounds loaded (My son Tyson for example with his Benelli before he learned how heavy that was in the field) but I am against taking every bird from any covey and not being responsible about making sure there are birds for the following year.
So when it comes to gun selection and ammunition selection we also have to consider the hunting scenario. I am hunting behind dogs that will find and point game. If we are doing well with our training, this means I should be flushing the bird under my feet regardless of species (other than Ruffed grouse and Dusky grouse that are most likely above us in the trees) so my first shot I should be quite close and I have to be in the habit of letting the bird get up and out ahead of me a bit before shooting so I don’t waste the game. Pellet size, velocity, and total pellet count matter. Now we have to consider pellet material as well. On some areas non toxic shot is required now for upland hunting as well. This means your shells are going to cost a lot more and you have so many options to comb through. This is a reason to spend the off season shooting trap and skeet and sporting clays. I always think of ammunition in terms of cost per trigger pull, not in box prices. If I am shooting some good non toxic shells for example I may be as much as $2 per trigger pull. I certainly don’t want to miss at all!
I also reload shotshell in every gauge but 16. I don’t yet have a reloader for 16 gauge but I don’t shoot it nearly as often as all my others. This allows me to make custom loads that are adapted to my shooting style when components are available (which is hardly ever in the last 10 years) or to make due with what components can be found and purchased. For example I have been able to continue shooting .410 bore, one of my very favorites for pen raised quail even though you can hardly find shells anywhere anymore. Also a box of .410 is often double the cost of 12 gauge shells even though they have a fraction of the powder and shot in them. This one area reloading saves you a ton of money, and again allows you to shoot them when they simply aren’t available.
But without talking politics too deeply ammunition has been very hard to find in the last ten years and sometimes you have to adapt and shoot whatever you can find.
Here are some personal recommendations from years of shooting and hunting. Sadly I am not sponsored by any of the companies I will mention.
When hunting truly wild pheasants, not liberated, not planted, not escaped. I am talking truly wild birds, cost per round matters but also being a humane hunter matters. If I am going to shoot a bird I want the bird to perish without suffering, and still preserve the meat. I never want to destroy a bird, and I don’t want to cripple a bird. Hunting with dogs helps tremendously with recovery of wounded game and is the responsible choice. If you don’t have a good bird dog, hunt alongside someone who does. For a truly wild pheasant I have never found factory round I like better than “Prairie Storm.” The combination of pellet shape, pellet material, buffering etc make this the most lethal round I have ever fired at a rooster. It flat works better than anything. But it has been impossible to find. I was turned on to a website that helps find specific ammunition I will share with you all, as the days of walking into your sporting goods store and finding what you are after are long gone. We simply must shop online now. The website www.ammoseek.com is a great tool finding specific loads. Fiochi golden pheasant is also nice, super pheasant by winchester, and federal ultra pheasant are decent factory loads. Shot size depends on what kind of pheasants and where and how early in the season. I generally move between 4-6 in shot size depending on how far out the birds are. Pen raised birds are different. I rarely shoot larger than 6 shot.
Chukar are another tough one. You need a really fast load because those birds get up and moving really fast! So velocity is often more important than payload but I generally want at least 1300 feet per second, and a shot size of 6 for wild chukar. I most often hunt them with 20 gauge because it is lighter to pack in the mountains where we hunt wild birds. Late season I may move to 12 gauge and a tighter choke because they are not holding for the dogs anymore and they are flushing farther away. Pen raised chukar I generally use a 28 gauge in size 6 shot or 20 gauge with perhaps even 7 shot.
Quail I only use 8 shot and also want a fast velocity. I almost always use 28 gauge, but on truly wild bird type hunts I may load some heavy loads in my twelve gauge to increase my chance of getting a wiley mearns quail.
Grouse I generally use 6-8 shot depending on what kind of grouse and what the cover is like. With grouse in our neck of the woods we generally are shooting through a lot of foliage. bigger shot sizes have more inertia to deliver fatal energy to the bird after going through a bunch of leaves. Ruffed grouse I usually use sub gauges, Dusky I generally use a 12. If it is going to be a mixed day hunt in an area I am likely to find both I will opt for a 12 with perhaps fast 8 shot shells at an ounce and a quarter.
So you can see a lot of though must go in to deciding what you are hunting, in what scenario to choose your gun, your choke, your shot size, your payload etc. Always think it through, always practice with the loads you will be shooting, and make adjustments along the way to keep your hunting ethical. And though most of us have many guns to choose from for the different scenarios, the old adage always rings true “Beware the man with only one gun” Back when I had only one shotgun it is all I ever shot, so I knew the gun very well and rarely missed anything. Of course my eyes were better then as well 😉 | weapons_science |

Top 5 Best Airdrop Weapons In Battlegrounds Mobile India
1 – M249
M249 is the best airdrop weapon in Battlegrounds Mobile India due to its extremely high fire rate and large magazine. It can do both room clearing and sniping – you can just go prone to deploy the bipod and reduce 70% of all recoil.
The weakness of the M249 is its long reload time. You need to get to a safe location to refill this weapon – if that is not possible, just use your secondary.

2 – Groza
The Groza can deal the same damage as an AK while having the second-highest fire rate amongst all ARs. It is a powerful gun that can turn the tables around in hard situations, especially in the final stages of the game. The damage potential alone brings this weapon to the top of the list.
The weakness of the Groza is its long reload time – you need a quickdraw magazine to fix that. The lack of a foregrip and 8x scope render it unable to fight at long range as well.
3 – AWM
The AWM is a powerful bolt action rifle designed for extreme range sharpshooting. It deals the highest damage amongst all guns in the game, and is one of the two ranged weapons that can kill any players with a headshot, alongside the crossbow.
The long reload, unique ammo, and low fire rate all represent the high risk, high reward gameplay. You need to be experienced to be able to use this weapon effectively.
4 – AUG A3
The AUG A3 has the lowest recoil amongst airdrop weapons, along with exceptional handling and high muzzle velocity. It is a highly sought-after weapon for anyone who likes to fish for headshots. Its damage is fairly low comparing to other airdrops guns, so body shots won’t be as powerful.
The weakness of the AUG A3 is its relatively slow reload time. A quickdraw magazine is vital when using this weapon.
5 – MK14 EBR
MK14 EBR is a hard-hitting long-range rifle for putting down targets from afar. The Mk14 can be considered as a bigger version of the SKS, with more damage per shot in exchange for higher recoil. It can also be switched into automatic fire mode for players to deal with close-range foes.
The MK14 EBR can be equipped with an 8x scope. Due to the high recoil, this weapon is not recommended for new players.

The weapon of choice was, of course, the sword. Heavy iron swords were used for cutting and slashing. With the advance of smelting technology, high quality, flexible blades with a sharp cutting edge were developed. Swords forged from meteorite iron were rare and considered invincible.
Swords scabbards were made of bronze, wood or leather while highly decorated swords hilts were considered a sign of the high status warrior.
In addition to the sword, the spear, a large, heavy one used for thrusting, was the primary weapon used both in hunting and in war . A smaller lighter one was used for throwing from horseback or chariot and for close quarters use. Spear blades were often serrated to lacerate the flesh on withdrawing. Note the extraordinary weapon Cú Chulainn used with such devastating effect, the Gae Bolga – a short stabbing spear, which opened up its thirty barbs when jerked back, making it impossible to withdraw it. At one point in the epic, Cú Chulainn orders his charioteer to cut the weapon free from the body as the only way of retrieving the spear.
Kill shots with the spear would be to the face, the throat and groin. Against enemies with shields, often only the top of the head and shins are exposed. Warriors would stand perpendicular to their enemy in one-on-one combat, their knees bent to lower their centre of gravity, aiming to provide a narrow target to their opponent.
Long rectangular shields, unlike the later round shields of the Viking era, were made of wood or leather with a central, external boss (a central hub) made of bronze to protect the hand on the inside.
Helmets were made of leather, soaked, salted and then covered with lacquer to harden it.
Iron mail shirts were first invented c 300BCE but were worn only by the noblest and most high status warriors.
Cloth and leather slings, bows and arrows were not considered to be a warrior’s weapons. The warrior’s goal was to engage the enemy in single combat and behead him. To kill from a distance and not to see the victims face, where was the honour in that? Nevertheless, throughout the Táin, on which I based my novel, Raiding Cúailnge, Cú Chulainn, in his single handed defence of the north from the invading army of Connacht, relies on picking off Queen Medb’s forces with skilful, long distance sling shots, using river pebbles or hard-baked balls of clay. | weapons_science |

Albatros-Flugzeugwerke GmbH was a German aircraft manufacturer best known for supplying the German airforces during World War I.
The company was based in Johannisthal, Berlin, where it was founded by Walter Huth and Otto Wiener on December 20, 1909. The company (and its subsidiary, Ostdeutsche Albatros Werke (OAW)) produced some of the most capable fighter aircraft of World War I, notably the Albatros D.III and Albatros D.V, both designed by Robert Thelen for the firm. The works continued to operate until 1931, when it was merged into Focke-Wulf. | weapons_science |

ca. US$6,084 - US$8,517
Price realised: n. a.
Viking Sword with Tri-Lobed Pommel Late 10th-early 11th century AD A Petersen Type L variant Viking sword, the pattern-welded tapered blade with a width of about 5.7cm at the cross-guard, the point and cutting edges well preserved with traces of battlefield use clearly visible along its length; the tapered fullers are 2.2cm at their origin adjacent to the cross-guard; oppositely curved guards are wide, the pommel has a curved base-element and three lobes, with bands of separation between the lobes. 1.15 kg, 91cm (36"). Fine condition. A nice example of a well used sword. Provenance From the family collection of a South East London collector; formerly acquired in the late 1950s; accompanied by an academic report by military specialist Dr Raffaele D'Amato. Literature See Petersen, J. De Norske Vikingesverd, Oslo, 1919; Bjorn A. Viking Antiquities in England, with a supplement of Viking antiquities on the Continent of Western Europe, Oslo, 1940; Oakeshott, R.E. The Archaeology of the weapons, London, 1960; Wilson D. M. ‘Some neglected Late Anglo-Saxon swords’, in Medieval Archaeology, 1965, 9(1), pp.32-54; Peirce, I. Swords of the Viking Age, Suffolk, 2002; Yotov, V. The Vikings on the Balkans, Varna, 2003. This sword finds good parallels in various similar Viking age specimens. Two very similar swords have been published by Peirce (2002, pp.77-81), both preserved at the British Museum. One of these is the very famous Witham sword (Bjorn, 1940, part 4, p.71; Oakeshott, 1960, p.134) which is, for its perfect state of preservation, one of the most important in the best public and private collections of the world. Also the Westminster sword belongs to this classification (Wilson, 1965, pp.42ff., pl. VII b). Another occasional find of this typology has been excavated in Wales in 2002. Such swords were found especially in Britain having a diffusion especially between the 900 and the 1050 AD. They correspond to the period in which England was under the influence of the Danish, who settled there, and for a while England was part of the Anglo-Danish Empire of Knut the Great (1017-1035). However, the fact that such swords are considered “Viking” does not mean they were used only by Danish warriors, instead it is highly probable they were in use both from Anglo-Saxon and Viking warriors, as shown for instance by the decoration of the guard of a similar typological sword from Norfolk (Wilson, 1965, pl. IVa), where the silver plaques remember the Winchester style, but the blade of the sword was bent according to the funerary Viking practice. Footnotes Most probably our specimen is a river find, like most swords of this type. It can be associated with the group of swords of Anglo-Saxon origin which comprises the Westminster Sword, the Abingdon sword, the Thames Sword, the Witham sword and many others. The most important stylistic element of this group is the lozenge decorations, here missing, but the general shape is absolutely identical. The category of this sword is characterised also from the three-lobate or five-lobate pommel. There were a number of methods of attaching the pommel in the late Anglo-Saxon period. Most of them depend on sweating the bar of the pommel on to the tang and attaching the pommel-knob either (a) by riveting the end of the tang over the pommel-knob or (b) by riveting the pommel and the pommel guard together or (c) by passing an iron bar through the pommel-guard and the pommel-knob. The first system is here visible, like in most part of the swords of Petersen type L (for instance on the sword recovered from the river Wensum, at Norwich, S. Wilson, 1965, pl.VI,B). After the Norman conquest of 1066 AD, many Anglo-Saxons escaped to the East to join the ranks of the Imperial Guard of Byzantium, and in particular of the Varangian Guard, to which the sword belongs.

The bomb, carried by Enola Gay of the 509th Composate group USAAF, was detonated 1,850 feet above the city centre. 68,000 of Hiroshimas 90,000 buildings were destroyed or damaged beyond repair, of the population of 350,000, it is thought 70,000 were killed and a further 70,000 were seriously injured. Many survivers suffered long term illness and effects from the explosion.
A second bomb, codenamed Fat Man was dropped on Nagasaki 3 days later. Half of the citys buildings were destroyed and 39,000 of the 230,000 people were killed almost instantly.
It was following the second bombing that Japan accepted the Allies demand for unconditional surrender on the 14th of August 1945, effectively ending World War 2.
Little Boy was untested before it was dropped on Hiroshima and simpler in design and operation than Fat Man. Two pieces of Uranium-235 were positioned at opposite ends of the bombs casing. A charge of cordite was placed behind one of them. On command the cordite blasted the Uranium towards the other piece with the velocity of a .45 Calibre bullet. When the two collided the detonation took place, and a temperature of 300,000 degrees celsius was achieved for a fracion of a second. The bomb had a destructive force equalling 20,000 tons of TNT. Fat Man, an implosion weapon using Plutonium-239 instead of Uranium, had been tested in New Mexico on the 16th of July the same year.

The report, which was handed over to the 35-member states of the IAEA Board of Governors, details a series of tests, acquisition of materials, and technology that suggests Iran has continuously worked to produce a nuclear weapon since 2003.
A diplomatic source in Vienna told Haaretz that this is "the most damning report ever published by the IAEA and the conclusion arising from it is one: Iran is working to acquire a nuclear weapon."
"The agency has serious concerns regarding possible military dimensions to Iran's nuclear program," the IAEA said in the report, which included a 13-page annex with key technical descriptions of research.
Citing "credible" information, the Vienna-based agency said the data "indicates that Iran has carried out activities relevant to the development of a nuclear explosive device."
It added: "The information also indicates that prior to the end of 2003, these activities took place under a structured program, and that some activities may still be ongoing."
U.S. spy services estimated in 2007 that Iran had halted outright "weaponization" research four years previously, but also that the Islamic Republic was continuing efforts to master technology usable in nuclear explosives.
The IAEA report included information from both before and after 2003.
It expressed "particular concern" about information provided by two member states that Iran had carried out computer modeling studies linked to nuclear weapons in 2008-09.
"The application of such studies to anything other than a nuclear explosive is unclear to the agency," the IAEA said.
The information also indicated that Iran had built a large explosives vessel at the Parchin military complex southeast of Tehran in which to conduct hydrodynamic experiments, which are "strong indicators of possible weapon development." | weapons_science |

Nuclear bomb on Hiroshima The use of the atomic bomb changed the nature of warfare forever From the moment Henri Becquerel had discovered the nature of radioactivity inscientists had tried to harness the potential power of the atom.
Crucially, inNiels Bohr had proved that nuclear fission was possible, and with this discovery the potential for a bomb of enormous power was clear. Under the command of the brusque and demanding General Leslie Groves, scientists led by Robert Oppenheimer tried to solve both the theoretical and practical problems of creating a nuclear weapon.
And they believed that the race to develop this new device was a race against time. We knew it was going to be an awful weapon.
As for the Soviets, they were years behind the Western Allies in the development of nuclear weapons; and the Americans and British decided not to inform their new ally about the Manhattan Project — something which demonstrates that for all their friendly rhetoric, the Western democracies did not fully trust their comrades in the East.
The first nuclear weapon was successfully tested at Alamogordo in New Mexico on 16 July President Truman, in Europe at the Potsdam Conference, now knew he had just become the most powerful leader in history.
And the temptation to use this new weapon was almost irresistible. And Byrnes was furious with these scientists. We have an understanding that atomic bombs are not like other weapons, but it did not seem so plain to these people at the time.
Plus I think one must see the decision to drop the bombs in the context of the fire bombing raids that had preceded them.
The firebombing by Bs armed with conventional incendiary weapons had already killed more Japanese than died at Hiroshima and Nagasaki, so any notion that there was a significant moral distinction between the two methods seems to be pretty questionable.
Then there was another issue surrounding the use of the bomb that was hanging in the air. The sense in which the possession of this mighty weapon would be useful in dealing with Stalin — who at Potsdam, as far as the Western Allies were concerned, was not being as cooperative as he ought to have been.
The Potsdam declaration was clear — there were to be no assurances given to the Japanese on that or any other matter. And yet, after the bombs had been dropped, the Americans hinted that if the Japanese surrendered now, then the institution of the Emperor was safe.
This target had been chosen after Kyoto had been spared because of it architectural splendour. Almost everything in Hiroshima was destroyed within five square miles of the point at which the bomb exploded.
No one knows exactly how many people died as a result of the explosion — but one estimate is about 80, deaths within days, and tens of thousands more over time, of various illnesses caused by radiation. President Truman heard the news about Hiroshima on board the ship taking him back to America from Potsdam.
Truman was elated when he announced to the crew that we had a powerful new weapon and the war would certainly end — invasion [of Japan] would not be necessary… The crew just erupted in an explosion of hilarity and joy and shouts and the pounding of the desks and tables and so on.
That was the mood in which we returned to Washington. Then, on 15 August, Emperor Hirohito finally announced to the Japanese people that Japan had surrendered.Dec 08, · The biggest single turning point in modern history was the dropping of the atomic bomb at the end of the Second World War, according to new research.
The A-bomb . Sep 06, · It only takes the tiniest thing to change the world.
A butterfly beating its wings in Texas may not start a hurricane in China, but a wrong turn can trigger one of the deadliest wars in human history. Time and again, seemingly insignificant things have proven adept at altering the course of history. The world was stunned to learn that India has now tested nuclear weapons.
For many years, all nations have been concerned about the proliferation of atomic explosives. Even in their distress, no one seems to be interested in the historic or the psychological record of why these weapons were developed, and what special breed of mankind devoted .
The role of Cold War in the history of the United States of America. n August 6, , an event occurred that changed the world in every way imaginable and whose effects we are still living with today.
That was the day that President Truman ordered an act of aerial warfare so destructive that there was no possible retaliation. That was the dropping of the atomic bomb on Hiroshima Japan.
The hydrogen bomb, developed soon afterwards, would use lots of hydrogen fuel that a nearby atomic core would ignite. The United States tested a hydrogen bomb at Bikini Atoll in (below) that was more than 1, times more powerful than the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima less than 10 . | weapons_science |

If you wouldn't mind assisting me with the dating of the firearm, I would sincerely appreciate it. With a low, 4 digit number, your gun is very early. Does your gun actually have the Model 39 designation roll stamped on the gun?The serial is 1478, and I am only at this time looking for a round about sort of value, not a defined price. Either way, I will send an email to S&W Historian, Mr. This could be a very interesting gun and it may have considerable collector interest - which will have an impact on the value.However, at the outset the one thing I can say categorically is that your pistol was made in April, 1955. Anyway, how about posting some photos of your Model 39 along with the serial number? As for JP, information received from Smith and Wesson stated that the model 39 was manufactured between 19. Hello The person from S&W that you talked to gave you correct, but misleading information.Then I can give you the actual year the gun shipped and try to estimate the value. Here’s the full story: In 1946, newly elected company president Carl Hellstrom decided that S&W should get into the production of semiautomatic pistols. In 1954, 10 production type pistols were completed in December, with an alloy frame.All those sold through normal distribution channels had much higher numbers than your #39. It went to a distributor who did lots of engraving and that may be where your gun received its decorations.I strongly suspect, from what you've said, that your example was a special issue gun and it received an out-of-sequence serial number. If done at the factory, I highly suspect the plating is nickel. I would strongly urge you to purchase a factory authentication letter for this gun.It will cost you and will take 1-2 months to obtain. You have a great, old pistol there - one that is extremely collectible.
Regards, JP I have the serial no 39 all steel...from the Walnut of the desk of Carl Hellstrom ...according to Jinks.
In 1957, the gun was officially christened the Model 39 and roll stamped accordingly. | weapons_science |

“Anti-weapons” are rarely appreciated by the public. Tank, aircraft and ship crew may be the heroes of screen and fiction, but that role is rarely extended to those who man anti-tank and anti-aircraft guns, and who lay mines. Instead, the focus is on resistance by similar weapons: other tanks, aircraft and warships. They are indeed important, but this leads to an underrating of anti-weapons and the related doctrine, procurement, training, tactics, experience and command skills. Anti-weaponry helps define the possibilities presented by existing weapons. They are crucial at the level of tactics. Tactical factors affect operational possibilities and thus strategic options.
Objectively, the role of anti-weapons is abundantly clear. This was the case in the past, whether German 88mm guns in the Second World War or Sagger missiles deployed by the Egyptians in the Yom Kippur War of 1973. In the First World War, tanks—highly conspicuous targets—proved vulnerable to mines, artillery pieces firing low-velocity shells, and machine-guns firing armour-piercing bullets. The Allied breakthrough in 1918 owed more to the successful use of artillery-infantry coordination than to tanks. Anti-tank capability exceeded that of its armoured target in the 1920s, and in 1930 George Patton observed that effective anti-tank weapons had reduced tanks’ effectiveness.
In the Second World War, the response of all powers was to increase tank armour, as with the Soviet JS2 and the German Panther and Tiger tanks. This led to more powerful anti-tank guns, both static and self-propelled. In addition, infantry were equipped with hand-held anti-tank weapons. A major advantage was their relative cheapness in comparison to a tank. Thus, Germany produced more than 23,000 PAK 40 anti-tank guns and 6.7 million Panzerfaust anti-tank rockets.
Moreover, mines were responsible for between 20 and 30 per cent of wartime tank casualties. The capabilities of anti-tank weaponry ensured that combined-arms formations were more effective than those focused solely on tanks, as the overcoming of anti-tank guns required infantry support.
As with other legacy systems, the upgrading of tanks has helped to push up their cost, with the result that tank strength is lower than in the Cold War. That means that the loss of each tank is more problematic and also that there is a growing mismatch between the number available and the scale of the target. Thinking in terms of conflict between tanks sidesteps this point, but the mismatch is increasingly relevant given the nature of warfare. Even if destruction can be avoided, damage remains a central problem. The cost of replacing damaged tank tracks is formidable, let alone that of dealing with engine problems.
The limitations of tanks remain those that have existed from the outset, notably problems with reliability and vulnerability. Despite their cross-country capabilities, tracked vehicles tend to be less easy to operate and maintain than their wheeled counterparts, and to require more maintenance and fuel.
Armour is useful for protecting infantry against those opposing them in the urban environment, as was seen in facing the insurrection in Iraq. At the same time, the vulnerability of tanks has been displayed over the last 20 years in Lebanon, Syria and Yemen, and by the Kurds when resisting attack by Iraqi tanks. Modern American, Israeli, Russian and Turkish tanks have all fallen victim. Thus, in Yemen, the Houthis employed anti-tank missiles to destroy Abrams tanks used by Saudi Arabia, while in 2017 French-provided Milan anti-tank missiles were likewise employed by the Kurds. Losses are to be expected, and there have been considerable advances in reactive armour and electronic counter-measures against anti-tank weaponry. However, there are also significant advances in anti-tank weaponry, both kinetic and electronic. The growing sophistication of armour electronic systems and of cyber-attacks means that tank operations are likely to be part of cyber warfare in future. And the protection cost imposed even by relatively simple anti-tank weaponry is formidable.
The degree of vulnerability to anti-tank weaponry will encourage a search for an alternative to the tank, not least less expensive, miniaturised, unmanned mobile weapons. They will be exposed to electronic attack, but do not suffer from the complex logistical burdens posed by supporting modern tanks, notably in providing fuel. Resupplying their needs not only is a formidable burden involving much manpower, but also needs dumps that require protection.
None of this suits the image of powerful tanks surging forward to deal out destruction. In the National World War Two Museum in New Orleans, the cinema seats literally shake when the German tanks advance in the re-creation of the battle of the Kasserine Pass in 1943. It is a marvellous coup de theatre—but, of course, the Germans lost in Tunisia. Mighty-looking weapons are not necessarily the bringers of doom.

Initially focusing on the designing and building of fixed-wing fighter aircraft when it was founded in 1935 as Bell Aircraft Corporation, Bell brought inventor Arthur M. Young onto its team to develop and research helicopters. Bell hoped that the development of rotorcraft would create a larger customer base for the company, so it would not be dependent on government contracts as it was while developing fighter jets for use during World War II (it had developed the first American fighter jet with the P-59 Airacomet).
Within just 6 months, Young and the team at Bell developed the Bell 30 in 1942, leading to the development of the iconic two-bladed, single-engine Bell 47 in 1946, the first helicopter certified for civilian use. Continually revolutionizing the aircraft industry, Bell also invented the tiltrotor aircraft, allowing aircraft to lift like a helicopter, then fly like an airplane with 2x the speed, and 3x the payload range of conventional helicopters.
Bell's current fleet of products includes:
- Commercial Helicopters (Bell 206L4, Bell407/407GT/407GX, Bell 412/412EPI, Bell 429WLG, Bell 505, Bell 525, and Bell Huey II)
- Military Helicopters (Bell Boeing V-22 Osprey, Bell UH-1Y Yankee, Bell AH-1Z Zulu, Bell OH-58D, and Bell V-280 Valor) | weapons_science |

Effective Armor EA refers to the overall effectiveness of the armor without normalization. The armor values are presented in three different scenarios for the angled view of the tank.
The strongest point is the lower frontal glacis which is very small and only visible against very short tanks and therefore not even worth shooting. UFG 2 This portion of the upper frontal glacis is also 76mm thick but has no angle on it at all making it extremely vulnerable.
You only need to be careful about hitting the lower hull areas. LSH 1 This lower section of the side hull is spaced armor and is quite tough compared to the rest of the tank. There is 64mm of spaced armor in this area with 40mm of tracks behind it before reaching the 51mm hull armor.
LSH 2 The rest of the lower side hull that is not covered by spaced armor is 51mm of armor covered by 40mm of tracks. This still puts the armor value at 91mm EA making it tougher to damage than the upper side hull.
This also opens up a slew of different areas to aim at. Specific armor values for each area can be found in the image above, listing them all here be a bit overkill. Rear View Finally some armor!

This seems to support the conventional wisdom that magnum ammo tends to underperform when fired from short barrels.

Image: Alex Williamson
Reading through Jeffrey Goldberg’s probe of Israeli officials’ view of military options against Iran, two things stand out.
The first is pretty important, and it’s that Israel has not yet clearly defined its red lines. Military leaders and Israeli officials spoke to Goldberg at length about how much time they would be willing to give “non-military options,” with their patience essentially running out early next year. But what they didn’t define clearly was any sort of triggering event. (Separately, some Israeli officials have said publicly that Russia’s delivery of the S-300 missile system would be such a red line, but Russian leaders have decided not to deliver the S-300 precisely because it would be inflammatory.)
So what is the actual “Point of No Return”? According to Goldberg’s sources, it’s an Iranian weapons “capability.” But that is a vague and ephemeral term; one could argue that Iran already has a weapons capability because of its stockpile of nuclear material — the hardest component of a weapon to obtain. One could even argue that Iran has had a weapons capability for years, given their technological know-how and the abundance of natural resources within their own borders.
Or, conversely, you could say that Iran will only have a weapons capability when they have the ability to fashion a deliverable nuclear weapon within a few short months (something Iran cannot yet do). This appears to be what Israeli officials have in mind, though it is nearly impossible to assess this sort of capability with any degree of certainty. So as red lines go, this one leaves a lot to be desired.
Which brings me to my second point. Odds are that Iran already has a covert enrichment facility separate from the one unveiled at Qom last year.
For all the hair-pulling over Iran’s known enrichment program, what should really concern people is the possible existence of a covert facility. That is because, so long as Iran continues to grant access to IAEA inspectors at its declared sites, these are really not worth worrying about. If Iran tries to divert fissile material from a declared facility, the IAEA monitors will find out and the world will assume Iran’s withdrawing from the NPT and building a bomb out in the open.
This is the purpose of IAEA inspections; similar to how a burglar alarm system on a house detects when someone tries to break in — though without actually stopping the burglar — the IAEA detects when declared nuclear material is diverted away from acceptable purposes and it is assumed the world will take some action in response. We can feel comfortable that this has not happened yet because each and every IAEA report on Iran’s enrichment activities has been able to verify the non-diversion of all safeguarded material at Natanz, Esfahan, and Tehran.
As the threat of attack grows, however, the need for Iran to have a secret backup facility becomes more and more powerful.
Think about it from Iran’s perspective: Israel and the US are issuing more serious threats now than any time in the past three years. These threats are aimed at Iran’s declared nuclear facilities that are operating under NPT safeguards. And as the Leveretts have pointed out, if the US or Israel attacks Iran’s nuclear sites, it will be because Iran is enriching uranium — something the NPT explicitly permits.
Now, it’s anyone’s guess whether US or Israeli intelligence agencies know where this covert facility is. Our record of spotting “secret” sites is pretty good. But finding out about Iran’s secret facilities is far less preferable than convincing Iran not to build them in the first place. We need Iran to be more transparent; not less. Iran needs more IAEA safeguards; not less.
A common refrain in Goldberg’s piece is “the best way to obviate a military strike on Iran is to make the threat of a strike by the Americans seem real.” But these threats cut both ways. If threatening military action drives Iran’s nuclear program deeper underground (both literally and figuratively), then they make the problem more intractable.
By reframing Iran’s declared and safeguarded activities as acceptable while maintaining a zero tolerance policy for unsafeguarded facilities or non-civilian activities (such as the production of weapons-grade uranium), the world can offer Iran a face-saving way out. This would allow Iran to hold onto the aspects of its nuclear program that it maintains are its sovereign right, while also providing assurances that the more serious threat of Iranian proliferation doesn’t actually come about. | weapons_science |

In the movie the "Eraser" Arnold Schwarzenegger is a Witness Protection Agent. In the movie a company has developed a portable railgun and is planning on selling it to foreign powers. An employee, Lee Cullen, of the company decides to turn them into the government for treason. Following the events of the movie Arnold eventually gets ahold of one of the railguns. Now the question is what would have happened when he fires the rail gun.
Well when he first fires the gun the recoil caused by firing it produces 26549 kilometers a second of force which would slice through Arnold killing him instantly.
The victim on the other hand receives a much lesser force of only 3745 kilometers a second. Which is still enough to kill him instantly. In conclusion the railgun in this movie is simply unrealistic because it would kill any person instantly. | weapons_science |

Those who owned possessions (including property rents) valued at £6.13s.4d were expected to be equipped with a mail shirt, rather than a padded jacket, while those valued at £10.13s.4d were also to have a shield, and a helmet rather than cap. Based on these descriptions, doubtless the minimal requirements, an urban armed force would have been equipped much at the level of Normans and Anglo-Saxons in 1066.
No recognition was given in the Assize to men who might only be able to afford items useful in everyday life, such as hunting bow or wood-axe. Provisions of 1225, essentially reiterating the Assize, corrected this oversight. They clarified the definition of the basic level as being townsmen whose property was worth 40s., and provided for a lower level of those worth 20s., who had to own an axe or spear.
Furthermore, by the terms of the original Assize, burgesses owning more than one spear, helmet, etc. were ordered to sell or give them to their fellows who were capable of serving but lacked equipment. This may, however, have applied only when an armed force had to be assembled for action: in such circumstances town authorities are seen commandeering equipment from residents in order to distribute it to those who were to fight; loaned items were valued so that owners might be compensated for damage or loss. The 1225 provisions also made it clear that those holders of urban property personally inactive should provide financial support for those who served.
Even these provisions may have been hard to meet for less prosperous urban communities. A review of the Bridport militia in 1219, for example, mustered about 180 men, of whom most were armed with only staves or knives, although a few had axe or sword, and none is mentioned as having a bow. A Reading muster in 1311 showed the vast majority (235) armed with axe and knife, an additional handful (8) owning a sword.
Historically, commonplace objects have been made use of as weapons. At the simplest level we may point to rocks that defenders threw from fortifications to disable or deter enemies attempting to scale the walls or batter down gates; staves are also simple (but in trained hands effective) weapons with a range of uses. Tools must have been pressed into service by those who could not afford custom-designed weapons.
Axes are the most obvious example. It seems unlikely that many, if any, townsmen owned battle-axes, and the axes we hear of presented at views of arms were more probably the heavier wood-splitting axes. Likewise, knives used in everyday life for cutting or livestock slaughtering tasks would have done double-duty as stabbing or slashing weapons in combat. Daggers, on the other hand, were double-edged blades whose primary purpose was for close combat; on the battlefield they were often the coup de grace weapon, used to finish off a downed opponent. Yet even these served townsmen more often for personal defence or offence in civilian rather than military contexts. Again, bows were used primarily for hunting.
Some weapons developed out of others. The sword was a dagger lengthened to try to keep the opponent at more of a distance. An intermediate weapon, the baselard, which appeared first in Switzerland, gained popularity among those townsmen who could afford one, because longer than a dagger in fact, close to sword length but less heavy than a sword. It was thus a good defensive weapon against the larger numbers of townsmen who went about wearing daggers. It was with a baselard that London's mayor wounded Wat Tyler, the leader of the Peasants' Revolt. Despite indications that swords of some kind had long been used for duelling, swords were designed for offensive use in warfare and the assumption of armour (e.g. gauntlets) worn; swords designed specifically for self-defence, incorporating hand-protection, did not begin appearing until the close of the Middle Ages.
Likewise, the various types of polearm that became increasingly common in the Late Middle Ages were developments from axes and spears. Fixing some kind of blade on one end of a long staff was again largely with a view to keeping the enemy at a distance. Pole weapons were relatively inexpensive and became increasingly popular for the less experienced or untrained recruits, with massed infantry used in hedgehog formations to hold off enemy charges, or with polearms such as glaives and, later, halberds used to slash at cavalry from a fairly safe distance, or (where the polearm incorporated a hook-shaped blade) to try to snag the armour of knights and pull them from their horses. Although they could be fairly versatile, pole weapons were unwieldy in a close quarters melee, so infantry using them would also need some shorter weapon more suitable for hand-to-hand fighting. Bowmen must likewise have needed a back-up weapon.
Before longbow archery became the sought-after skill, some townsmen evidently owned crossbows, although it is not clear how widespread this was. In 1276 we hear of a Londoner who had accidentally killed a fellow citizen during crossbow practice. Crossbows were evidently common enough that followig Edward II's defeat at Bannockburn, he urgently ordered London, York, Lincoln, and Northampton to raise contingents of crossbowmen to defend the north.
As the High Middle Ages progressed, the crossbow largely superseded other bows. Although its range was poorer than the longbow, the latter required lengthy training to achieve range and accuracy, whereas use of the crossbow could be learned quite quickly and did not require the same muscular development. It continued to be used in late medieval England, although not to the same extent that its use persisted in many other European countries. | weapons_science |

According to him, the age of the used jet purchased by Indonesia only has 10 years left. Because, Qatar Air Force bought from France in the late 1980s.
“The problem is, the Mirage 2000-5 aircraft was purchased by the Qatar Air Force from France in the late 1980s. This means that it is three decades old and only 10 years are left for use,” said Hasanuddin, Friday, June 23, 2023.

Hasanuddin believes it is better for the Ministry of Defense to buy new fighter jets than to buy used planes. He also calculated that the price per unit of used Mirage 2000-5 fighter jets is around USD 66 million/unit.
In addition, he said the large selection of new fighter jets is closer to the USD 66 million mark. Among them are the Super Hornet (USD 67 million/unit), the F-35A (USD 77 million/unit), Gripen (USD 85 million/unit), or the F-15 EX (USD 87 million/unit).

“With a budget of USD 792 million or nearly Rp 12 trillion allocated by the Ministry of Defense to purchase Mirage 2000-5, Indonesia can get nearly 1 squadron of new F-35A, SAAB Gripen or F-15 EX fighter jets,” he said.
“If possible plus USD 150 million, we can get 1 full squadron of F-35A, SAAB Gripen or new F-15 EX,” he added.
Hasanuddin stated that the Mirage fighter jets that Indonesia will buy will only receive service support for the first three years. After that, the next seven years must pay dearly.
“The cost of maintaining fighter aircraft is not cheap, let alone old aircraft, is our budget ready?” he said.
Prabowo previously explained that the purchase of 12 used Mirage 2000-5 fighter aircraft from Qatar was a temporary solution because many of the aircraft owned by the TNI were old.
Prabowo emphasized that it is impossible for a country as large as Indonesia not to have aircraft for daily operations. Therefore, he said Mirage fighter aircraft could be brought in as soon as possible for the operational needs of the TNI.
“This is an interim solution. So many of our aircraft are now very old and in a state of needing quite a large amount of refurbishment,” said Prabowo. () | weapons_science |

LAS VEGAS, Nevada (9 Aug 2002) — A team of divers using advanced sonar and high-powered lighting has spotted a World War II-era B-29 bomber long hidden in the waters of Lake Mead.
B-29 "Superfortress" bomber
The Superfortress military plane crashed just over 54 years ago but is largely intact, divers said Friday.
The bomber took off from California on July 21, 1948 on a radiation measurement mission. It crashed into the lake and sank 300 feet to the bottom, though all five crew members were rescued... | weapons_science |

Its history is deeply intertwined with the country's military and cultural legacy, making it one of the most important firearms in American history. In this blog post, we will take a look at the ways in which the 1911 has influenced American history.
First and foremost, the 1911 played a critical role in the two World Wars. It was the standard sidearm for the United States military from its adoption in 1911 until the mid-1980s. During World War I, the 1911 proved to be a reliable and effective weapon in the trenches of Europe. In World War II, it was used by American soldiers in every theater of the war. Its reliability and stopping power made it a favorite among American troops, and it was even credited with saving the lives of countless soldiers.
The 1911 also played a significant role in the shaping of American gun culture. Its use in Hollywood films and television shows helped to popularize the firearm and made it a symbol of American strength and power. It became a fixture in Westerns, crime dramas, and war movies, further cementing its place in American history.
Furthermore, the 1911 has influenced American gun laws and regulations. Its use in high-profile shootings, such as the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, led to increased scrutiny of firearms and the passage of the Gun Control Act of 1968. The Act established restrictions on the sale and possession of firearms, including the 1911.
Today, the 1911 continues to be an important part of American history and culture. It is still used by the military and law enforcement agencies, and it remains a popular choice among gun enthusiasts and collectors. Its influence can be seen in the design of modern pistols, and its impact on American history will continue to be felt for generations to come.
The 1911's impact on American history cannot be overstated. From its use in the World Wars to its influence on gun culture and laws, the 1911 has played a critical role in shaping the country's history. It is a testament to the ingenuity of American firearms designers and a symbol of American strength and power. The 1911 is not just a gun, it is a piece of American history. | weapons_science |
