Macron unsettled the Iranian regime on Thursday when, en route to a quickly-arranged visit to Saudi Arabia, he said he was “very concerned”: “There are negotiations we need to start on Iran’s ballistic missiles.”
The French President condemned Tehran for the firing of a missile last weekend by the Ansar Allah (Houthi) movement, which controls much of Yemen, on Riyadh International Airport. Tehran, which supports the Houthis politically in the Yemen civil war, denies any military involvement.
For months the Rouhani Government has been courting the European Union and its members — especially Britain, Germany, and France, three of the 5+1 Powers who signed the nuclear agreement with Iran — to counter the hardening line of the Trump Administration.
But on Saturday, Foreign Ministry spokesman Bahram Qassemi was firm in his rejection of Macron’s statement: “France is…completely aware of our country’s stance that Iran’s defensive affairs are not negotiable.”
In a significant rewriting of Macron’s remarks, Iran said the French President had called for the renegotiation of the nuclear deal: “We have repeatedly told French officials that the JCPOA [the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action] is not negotiable and other issues will not be included in it.”
In a comment to EA on Friday, the office of France’s Ambassador to the US, Gerard Araud, made clear that Macron was not calling for the reopening of discussions on the JCPOA. Instead, it said Macron wanted negotiations of the ballistic missile issue alongside the nuclear agreement.
No, he has not spoken of a "renegotiation" of the deal which would be counterproductive but of the need to cope with the missiles issue. https://t.co/YFaAwhj7MC
— Gérard Araud (@GerardAraud) November 10, 2017
Trump Administration officials have told the US media that they want to reopen talks on the provisions of the JCPOA, including additional language to cover ballistic missiles. Last month French officials supported Iran in the rejection of such an approach. | weapons_science |

The P-40 was also the Curtiss model built in the greatest quantities, with 13,738 produced between 1939 and 1944. All were manufactured at Curtiss’s Plant No. 1 in Tonawanda and Plant No. 2 in Cheektowaga.
The P-40 saw action from the beginning of the war to the end, from the Middle East and North Africa campaigns (where British pilots first painted the famous “shark mouth” nose art on the fighters); to Pearl Harbor and the Philippines in 1941; to China with the famed American Volunteer Group, or “Flying Tigers;” in the hands of Soviet pilots on the Eastern Front; to domestic defense of Alaska’s Aleutian Islands; as well as in Australia, New Zealand, and the South Pacific. Maligned and praised by pilots, the P-40 more than held its own, producing many of the first aces of the conflict and some of the highest fighter kill-ratios, helping the Allies survive the first critical years of the war. What it lacked in climb rate and high-altitude performance it made up in dive speed, maneuverability, firepower, and especially ruggedness—the latter enabling the plane to absorb punishment and bring its pilots home alive.
Curtiss-Wright employed 43,000 Buffalonians by 1943, fortifying the city as the center of the nation’s aircraft industry. However, by 1946, during the postwar drawdown, Curtiss shuttered all Buffalo operations. The Tonawanda plant, shown here at Vulcan Street and Kenmore Avenue, still stands. | weapons_science |

Great news! Now the Air Force can successfully drop 500-pound bombs from unmanned aerial vehicles!
An MQ-9 Reaper successfully dropped its first GPS-guided GBU-49 missile during a live-fire test May 13 at the Naval Air Warfare Center, Weapons Division, at China Lake, Calif. Manned U.S. aircraft have frequently dropped the 500-pound bomb loaded with a GPS kit in Iraq and Afghanistan because of its accuracy and ability to reduce collateral damage. Pilots and sensor operators with the 658th Aeronautical Systems Squadron flew three Reaper sorties and dropped six GBU-49s on target, according to an Air Force Material Command news release. | weapons_science |

Armored vehicles have come a long way from their origins as slow-moving, heavily fortified machines primarily designed to withstand bullets and shrapnel. Today, the evolution of armored vehicle technology has led to vehicles that are not only more secure but also more versatile, technologically advanced, and adaptable to a wide range of modern security challenges. Let’s delve into how armored vehicle technology has evolved beyond bulletproof capabilities. See over here to know the luxury features of armored land cruiser.
Advanced armor materials:
Traditionally, armored vehicles relied on steel plating to protect against ballistic threats. However, the development of advanced materials has revolutionized the way vehicles are armored. Composite materials, ceramics, and layered structures now offer superior protection while being lighter and more flexible than traditional steel. These materials can withstand a range of threats, from high-velocity projectiles to improvised explosive devices (IEDs), enhancing the overall survivability of the vehicle and its occupants.
Integrated ballistic and blast protection:
Modern armored vehicles are designed with a comprehensive approach to protection, combining ballistic resistance with blast mitigation. These vehicles are equipped with specialized features such as energy-absorbing seats, blast-resistant floors, and advanced shock-absorbing technology. The integration of both ballistic and blast protection ensures that occupants are safeguarded from a wider array of threats, making these vehicles well-suited for high-risk environments.
Adaptive threat response:
One of the most significant advancements in armored vehicle technology is the implementation of active protection systems (APS). APS utilizes sensors, radar, and other detection mechanisms to identify and intercept incoming threats, such as rockets and missiles, before they hit the vehicle. This real-time threat detection and interception capability drastically reduces the likelihood of a successful attack, enhancing the survivability of the vehicle and its crew.
Electronics and connectivity:
The digital age has ushered in a new era of armored vehicle technology. Vehicles are now equipped with advanced electronics, including encrypted communication systems, GPS tracking, and remote operation capabilities. These features not only enable seamless communication between vehicles and command centers but also allow for remote monitoring and control in hazardous situations, minimizing the risks to personnel.
Modularity and adaptability:
Modern armored vehicles are designed with modularity in mind, allowing for easy customization and adaptation to various missions. Interchangeable armor modules, weapon stations, and equipment packages enable quick reconfiguration based on specific operational requirements. This flexibility ensures that armored vehicles can be tailored to address a wide spectrum of security challenges, from urban warfare to peacekeeping missions. | weapons_science |

As a result of the May 1, 2020 Order in Council (OIC) amending the Regulations Prescribing Certain Firearms and other Weapons, Components, and Parts of Weapons, Accessories, Cartridge Magazines, Ammunition and Projectiles as Prohibited or Restricted ("Regulation") under the Criminal Code, a letter was recently sent out to individuals/businesses to inform them that their previously registered restricted firearms are now prohibited and their registration certificates became nullified. This nullification is the result of the legislative change to the Criminal Code Regulations and not the result of any decision by the Registrar to revoke the registration certificates under the Firearms Act. Accordingly, the letter is not a Firearm Registration Certificate Revocation Notice.
The Amnesty Order protects owners who held a valid registration certificate for the newly prohibited firearms on April 30th, 2020.
What are your options now?
- Wait for further instructions to participate in the buy-back program
- Have your firearm deactivated by an approved firearms business and advise the Registrar of Firearms once completed
- Legally export your firearm, in which case you can engage a businesses with the proper firearm licence privilege. Once exported you are requested to advise the Registrar of Firearms
On May 1, 2020, the Government of Canada has prohibited:
- nine (9) types of firearms, by make and model, and their variants; and
- firearms with a bore of 20 mm or greater, and those firearms capable of discharging a projectile with a muzzle energy greater than 10,000 Joules; and
- the upper receivers of M16, AR-10, AR-15 and M4 pattern firearms.
A list of newly prohibited firearms and devices is available online in the Canada Gazette, Part II.

Upper receivers of M16, AR-10, AR-15 and M4 pattern firearms are also now prohibited devices.
See the Canada Gazette, Part II for a list of newly prohibited firearms and devices.
Amnesty Order for newly prohibited firearms or devices
An Amnesty Order is in effect until April 30, 2022 to protect individuals who were in legal possession of one or more of these newly prohibited firearms or devices on the day the amendments to the Classification Regulations came into force (May 1, 2020), from criminal liability for unlawful possession. It also provides owners with the time to come into compliance with the law.
Government officials are currently in the process of refining requirements and developing program design and implementation options for a buyback program. Further information on the design of the buyback program will be communicated to Canadians in due course. Until the buyback program is implemented, anyone who possesses a newly prohibited firearm must ensure it is securely stored in accordance with the storage requirements for that classification of firearm before it was prohibited. These firearms cannot be legally used, sold or imported, and can only be transported or transferred within Canada under certain conditions as provided under the amnesty, such as deactivating the firearm or returning the firearm to the residence of the lawful owner.
If you relinquish a newly prohibited firearm or device before the implementation of the buy-back program, you won't be eligible for compensation once the program is announced.
Note: If you wish to surrender your firearm without compensation, please do not bring it to a local police detachment. Instead, call the non-emergency police line for your local detachment and you will be given instructions on how to safely surrender your firearm. In the meantime, please do not use your newly prohibited firearm and continue to keep it securely stored.
How this prohibition affects owners of these firearms
- Owners of newly prohibited firearms and devices are to keep them securely stored in accordance with their previous classification. The Display, Storage, Transportation and Handling of Firearms by Individuals Regulations (the Regulations) are available on the Department of Justice website.
- Newly prohibited firearms and devices cannot be sold or imported.
- Newly prohibited firearms and devices may only be transported under limited circumstances.Footnote 1
- Newly prohibited firearms and devices cannot be legally used for hunting unless allowed through the amnesty.Footnote 2
- Newly prohibited firearms cannot be used for sport shooting, either at a range or elsewhere.
This announcement may impact your business as you may have these newly prohibited firearms/devices in your inventory. While awaiting further details on the buy-back program, every effort should be made to return the inventory back to the manufacturer. Please note:
- They may no longer be sold to individuals.
- They can be transferred to another business with the appropriate licence privileges.
- If firearms are taken on consignment, they must be returned to the owner.
- If the appropriate activity and conditions are attached to the business licence for prohibited firearms, the business can act as an agent for export or deactivation for an individual or other business.
Businesses that are licensed to possess prohibited firearms will maintain this privilege, but should familiarize themselves with the list of newly prohibited firearms and devices.
Update on 10 and 12 gauge shotgun classification under the new prohibition
On May 1st, 2020, the Government of Canada announced that it had made amendments to the Regulations Prescribing Certain Firearms and Other Weapons, Components and Parts of Weapons, Accessories, Cartridge Magazines, Ammunition and Projectiles as Prohibited, Restricted or Non-Restricted (SOR/98-462) [Classification Regulations] prescribing certain firearms as prohibited. One of the categories of the newly prohibited firearms include "
Any firearm with a bore diameter of 20 mm or greater" (s. 95 of the Classification Regulations).
The Canadian Firearms Program (CFP) of the RCMP adheres to the Association of Firearm and Tool Mark Examiners' (AFTE) definition for bore diameter measurements. "The interior dimensions of the barrel forward of the chamber but before the choke." (Glossary of the Association of Firearm & Tool Mark Examiners by the AFTE Standardization Committee, 1st Ed. 1980). This is reflected in the RCMP's Firearms Reference Table (FRT) which clearly states that "
...in shotguns, diameter of the barrel forward of the chamber but before the choke." The CFP also recognizes the Sporting Arms and Ammunition Manufacturers' Institute (SAAMI) standards regarding firearms and ammunition. The SAAMI chamber specifications for 10ga and 12ga shotguns do not include chokes therefore indicating that chokes are not part of the bore. Accordingly, it is the CFP's view that, in accordance with acceptable firearms industry standards for shotguns, the bore diameter measurement is considered to be at a point after the chamber, but before the choke.
Further, in making classification assessments of firearms which are reflected in the FRT, the CFP relies on recognized industry standard measurements. With respect to 10ga and 12ga shotguns, the CFP recognizes the SAAMI standard specifications which establish that the nominal (i.e. standard) bore diameter measurements for 10ga and 12ga shotguns are below the 20mm threshold (19.69mm for 10ga, 18.42mm for 12ga).
The Canadian Firearms Program (CFP) will be contacting all individual firearms license holders and firearms businesses in Canada to inform them of the new prohibitions.
If you have moved, please notify the CFP immediately of your new address, if you have not already done so.
More information on the buy-back program will be available at a later date.

Turret reloading presses refer to machines used in reloading a gun’s ammunition. A turret reloading press exists somewhere between the single-stage press and the progressive reloading press. Using one enables you to completely load bullets in a series of lever pulls without removing the bullet from the shell holder.
- Heavy duty cast iron frame and turret.
- Extra-large 8 station turret is easily removed to make swapping turrets simple.
- Holds two complete 4 die sets or up to four 2 die sets.
- Durable powder coat finish.
- Comes with straight line primer feed with large and small primer tubes.
Last update on 2020-05-31 / Affiliate links / Images from Amazon Product Advertising API
The turret head is designed to hold between three and seven reloading dies at the same time. And the press allows you to switch between seating, flaring, or resizing the dies. This is however achieved by rotating the head of the turret to the die in question before proceeding with the process.
There are essentially two different forms of the turret press, there is the manual or traditional turret press that requires you to manually move the press to the next die, while the auto-indexing form automatically progresses to the next die on every pull of the lever.

Does reloading ammo save money?
Several shooters reload their own ammunition because they feel it can help them save money, the question, however, is whether reloading truly saves money?
The first thing you would have to consider before you make your decision is the amount you would spend on the reloading press and the materials you would need to reload yourself. This includes a reloading press, a tumbler, cartridge components, and other essentials.
After the cost of the above, you also need to consider the running costs i.e. the supplies you would need to have in order to make the bullets. This includes brass, primers, powders etc. You could, however, decide to pick up already used cases at shooting ranges or have people you know save theirs for you.
In short, if you decide to reload you will, over a period of time save money. This, however, depends on the economy of scale as it very probably won’t make much difference if you only engage in it for a short period of time.
How to Choose the best turret press for reloading?
Before you make a decision as to which turret press to choose, there are certain features you should take note of some of which are;
Quality of Materials
There are different brands and models of turret presses that produce different qualities of it. The quality of the material used in manufacturing a turret press is important and is determined by the user.
For large volumes of precision ammunition, a press made of steel is suggested, while a reloader who is interested in bulk ammo should consider an aluminum press.
This feature makes the process faster, less tedious, and more exciting. Auto indexing is one of the most important features to consider.
The process of powder charging is also important in a turret press. Essentially, powder through expanding die is a component that will need to be purchased for each caliber as not all turret presses support them. This feature greatly increases your output and eliminates the need to remove the cases from the turret press. | weapons_science |

A new era in aviation was dawning as he literally whistled through the air in the epoch-making jet fighter. With a top speed of around 540 m.p.h. it was a good 100 m.p.h. faster than anything else in the air.
The beautifully proportioned airframe of the Me262, with its sleek fuselage and swept wings, gave it the aerodynamics for high speed flight, and when the unique jet appeared in the skies over the Reich, it caused the Allied pilots to rethink their combat tactics.
Robert Taylor's action-packed limited edition - the FIRST in his Protagonists Series - takes us right into the path of Adolf Galland and a group of his JV-44 Wing Me262s as they make a high-speed rocket assault on a formation of B-26 Marauders. Diving from a 6000 ft. height advantage to 1500 ft. below and behind the bomber formation, the 262s made a fast approach, climbing to the level of the bombers before loosing off their 24 R4M rockets in one salvo at 600 yards; a long burst of cannon fire followed at 150 yards, and a quick climbing exit from the scene.
Galland's Me262 is captured by the artist at the moment of release of his rocket salvo, the burst of flame and smoke visible under each wing as the deadly missiles are launched. Above, a second 262 pilot launches his rockets while a third lines up his sights on the B-26s ahead. Below two more swoop into the attack, one closing on two straggling Marauders on the left of the picture.
The scene is set at 20,000 feet over Southern Germany on an afternoon in April 1945.
Size 36" x 26". Limited edition of 1250 prints.
Each print is individually signed by three outstanding Luftwaffe Aces: Adolf Galland, Erich Rudorffer and Walter Schuck. | weapons_science |

Since I always buy my guns and ammo at Mike’s Gun Shop, the fact that I had to pay an entrance fee to go into the Exhibit Hall of the fairgrounds to look at or shop for guns and ammunition started the day out all wrong. I will gladly pay an admission to see something that is actually shown (museum or comes to mind), but paying to shop just grates on my nerves.
Yes, I could have chosen not to pay the price of admission just on the principle, but then I would not have the opportunity to bestow this award.
I was in line behind about a dozen of other guns and ammo enthusiasts willing to fork over five dollars for the pleasure of shopping when I first noticed the sign posted at the gate.
“No Loaded Weapons Allowed Beyond Gate”
I took the opportunity to reach behind my back and under my shirt to press the magazine release and slip the magazine into my pocket. I racked the slide to remove the final round put that in my pocket as well. Nobody noticed. I paid for my ticket and walked the few feet to the gate, where another man was tending the gate.
“Do you have a weapon and ammo on you?” The gate tender was not smiling as he looked down at me.
“Yes.” He got me on a technicality.
“You cannot bring ammunition in, you need to return it to your vehicle and then you can come in.”
Since several Sheriff Deputies were standing on either side of the gate, and at the door to the Exhibit Hall, I decided not to point out the obvious, but to do as requested. After hiking to the parking lot and leaving the bullets in my truck, I went straight to the gate, where the same gate tender asked me if I had put my ammo in my vehicle. I assured him that I had and he let me in.
I am not even going to begin to describe the scene in the Exhibit Hall (another story, another day), but I was surprised to see so many people crowding around rows upon rows of six foot tables laden with weapons of every type.
This was going to be fun.
I did not really need any ammo that day, but just because the carny attendant made me trek back to my truck in the August heat, I was going to prove a point. The first order of business was to buy bullets for my gun, which was in my belt holster, and now I am inside the Exhibit Hall with a gun and ammo.This week’s Brainless Award goes to all the traveling gun and ammo shows out there that share the “no loaded weapons” policy. Moreover, I still do not think I should have to pay to shop. | weapons_science |

Muzzle Brakes vs. Flash Hiders
Firearms tend to produce recoil, and some, like carbines, expel gases, much like a fire breathing dragon. In certain situations, especially military operations, these attributes could be dangerous. Fortunately, engineers have figured out a way around both those issues over the years, and out of their ingenuity came muzzle brakes and flash hiders.
- Muzzle Brakes redirect expelled gases at an angle that pulls the gun forward upon the projectile leaving the barrel, thus reducing rearward felt recoil. They are often utilized by hunters or tactical enthusiasts who operate a large caliber AR-15 rifle, or by bullpup and rifle style pistol owners who are dealing with the recoil of a shorter weapon. Once installed, an AR 15 muzzle brake allows for faster follow up shots and more comfortable shooting. However, with this recoil reduction comes an increase in sound, which is noticeable even when using ear protection. Brakes are available in a wide range of sizes for several calibers, and many, like the SilencerCo muzzle brake, offer simple one-handed attachment.
- Flash Hiders & Flash Suppressors are interchangeable terms for a device that redirects or reduces the fiery signature of gasses expelled from the barrel when the bullet leaves the muzzle. Using a flash mitigation device helps prevent hostiles from zeroing in on your location and protects you from being blinded by intense muzzle flash in low light conditions. Most flash hiders are one of two types— pronged or the birdcage variety. An example of a pronged device would be the Dead Air three-pronged flash hider, and a birdcage variant would include A2 types made by companies like Primary Weapons Systems. Pronged hiders are open-ended and can sometimes get hung up on gear or obstacles when maneuvering, whereas A2 or birdcage designs feature a solid ring on the end for snag-free operation. A2s are the type often used by the US Armed Forces as they have solid bottoms with venting ports on the top to prevent sand from being kicked up and blown in the operator’s face when shooting from a prone position. This top ported design also provides some control over muzzle rise.
Compensators are devices designed to prevent muzzle rise by venting gas upward. Often used on competition pistols, these devices enhance the shooter’s ability to reacquire the target by keeping muzzle jump under control. YHM makes a 9mm muzzle brake/comp hybrid that is ideal for competition shooters as it works to mitigate both rise and recoil more efficiently than a comp or a brake can do on its own.
- Flash Comp devices are considered a hybrid component that eliminates flash and reduces muzzle rise. Surefire manufactures a hybrid that effectively eliminates more than 98% of muzzle flash, even on short-barreled rifles, while holding down the muzzle during rapid shooting engagements.
Thread Adapters & Protectors
When the thread pitch on your weapon is a different configuration than the device you wish to install, a thread adapter is a component that bridges the gap for a perfect fit. Another handy little part that pays big dividends is a thread protector. When you need to remove the muzzle device for whatever reason, these open-ended “caps” screw onto the threads of your barrel and protect it from the irreparable damage that can occur from rough handling.
Suppressor Mounts & Adapters
Suppressors or silencers are NFA class 3 muzzle devices that reduce the auditory impact of gunfire. Often called “cans,” these components either attach directly onto a threaded barrel or fit over an existing flash hider or muzzle brake via a quick attach mount. Because there are so many different models of firearms, there are adapters to handle potential mounting compatibility issues. Components such as rifle thread spacers for guns with long threads, adapters to address pistol barrels with internal threads, and fixed barrel spacers, are just some of the parts you may need depending on your setup. When faced with a suppressor that possesses a thread pitch non-compatible with the pitch on your existing rifle, there are adapters that solve this challenge by marrying the two for a secure fit.
There are no absolutes when choosing a muzzle device as the choice ultimately depends on how you use your weapon. In general, competition scenarios require fast follow up shots, which is where a compensator comes in handy. Hunters operating big-bore rifles often benefit from a muzzle brake that tames felt recoil, and for shooters who are concerned with muzzle flash in low light conditions, a flash hider is the device of choice. Hybrid devices like comp/brakes mitigate both recoil and muzzle rise for those who compete with high caliber handguns, and flash hider/comps reduce flash and muzzle jump for operators who require fast target acquisition in dimly lit environments. In the end, for those struggling with recoil, flash, excessive noise, or muzzle rise, a muzzle device can make a world of difference in accuracy and performance. | weapons_science |

Initially they were used for marking in the forestry and the livestock sectors. With time their design and use have witnessed changes. What started as a simple metal handle fitted with a barrel is now employing programmable circuits and suave designs.
These guns are today majorly used in the paintball games. In these games, an individual or a team competes with each other and a paintball gun is used for achieving this. The gun is used to shoot opponents and utilizes compressed air which is used to expel (fire) paintballs that are essentially pellets containing colored dyes.
Over the last decade the games have witnessed unprecedented growth and more enterprises are venturing into the sector as the games provide good tools for team building. Individuals and corporates like are enjoying the games and the prices vary across segments from 2 figure to 4 and even 5 figure budgets. Expensive paintball markers would make sense for pro games but as a learner or for recreational use, the best paintball guns for the money need not be that costly.
All paintball guns (paintball markers) are intended to shoot paintballs at high speeds utilizing compressed gas-either air or CO2.
At the point when a paintball firearm fires, a little jolt pushes a ball into the paintball barrel and at the same time seals the ball in the barrel. A valve at that point discharges compressed gas which grows in the barrel, constraining the ball out at the other end.
The real distinction between various guns is the manner by which the weapon propels the ball into the barrel, closes the barrel, and discharges gas into the barrel.
While there are various ways that firearms work, they can be broadly categorized into two noteworthy classes: mechanical and electronic paintball guns.
Fundamentally, mechanical paintballs are mechanically operated while electronic paintball guns depend on battery control and a circuit board for firing. There are additionally electro-mechanical guns that are a hybrid of the two firing modes.

It is much different than depicted in the movies and is generally life or death. The great lack of courtesy and respect in today’s society makes personal confrontation with another an ever greater chance of occurrence.
Unarmed combat (what Dr. Tindall terms CQC – close quarters combat) is a generic term for close quarters fighting, particularly when the outcome is potentially fatal, as in multiple opponent ‘gang’ attacks, military combat, or a duel. This distinguishes it from combat sport, which is not what Kenpo is about.
In the past the phrase "hand-to-hand" has indicated unarmed combat or combat using improvised "field expedient" or contact weapons such as clubs, knives, or bayonets.
Therefore CQC is the more preferred term for combat within close range. It may include lethal and nonlethal methods across a "spectrum of violence" or within a "continuum of force." Unlike the military or Geneva Convention rules that has established by rules of engagement, there are actually no such rules on the street, which is what Kenpo is designed for.
Combatives is a term used to describe various hybrid martial arts, which incorporate techniques from several different martial arts and combat sports. Again, Kenpo is not one of these hybrids as it was developed from the beginning for CQC and self defense.
Kenpo is actually the oldest form of martial art thus, close combat is the most ancient form of fighting known to man. A majority of cultures have their own particular histories related to close combat, and their own methods of practice.
There are many varieties of combat within the martial arts, including boxing and wrestling. Other variations include the gladiator spectacles of ancient Rome and medieval tournament events such as jousting. Military organizations have always taught some sort of unarmed combat for conditioning and as a supplement to armed combat. Soldiers in China were trained in unarmed combat as early as the Zhou Dynasty (1022 BC to 256 BC).
Despite major technological changes such as the use of gunpowder in the Napoleonic wars, the machine gun in the Russo-Japanese War and the trench warfare of World War I, hand-to-hand fighting methods such as bayonet remained common in modern military training, though the importance of formal training declined after 1918. During the Second World War, bayonet fighting was often not taught at all among the major combatants. German rifles by 1944 were even being produced without bayonet lugs.
This section of tips will help you develop your Kenpo for real-life, unarmed combat where the outcome could mean your very survival or certain death! Remember – every appendage on your body and every item around you is a potential weapon – we will teach you how to efficiently use all of these in Unarmed Combat or what we term CQC.

New Delhi: In a further boost to the strike capability of the Indian Air Force, the fourth batch of three Rafale fighter jets arrived in India on Wednesday evening after flying non-stop from France. “The 4th batch of three IAF Rafales landed on Indian soil after a direct ferry from #IstresAirBase France,” the IAF tweeted. The IAF also thanked the UAE air force for refuelling the Rafale jets, describing it as yet another milestone in the strong relationship between the two air forces. The IAF did not disclose the base where the Rafale jets landed.
The first batch of five Rafale jets arrived in India on July 29, nearly four years after India signed an inter-governmental agreement with France to procure 36 of the aircraft at a cost of Rs 59,000 crore.
The formal induction ceremony of the fleet had taken place at Ambala on September 10 last. The second batch of three Rafale jets arrived in India on November 3, while a third batch of another three jets joined the IAF on January 27. The first Rafale squadron is based in Ambala air force station.
India is expected to get more Rafale jets from France in the next few months.
The Rafale jets, manufactured by French aerospace major Dassault Aviation, are India’s first major acquisition of fighter planes in 23 years after the Sukhoi jets were imported from Russia. The Rafale jets are capable of carrying a range of potent weapons. European missile maker MBDA’s Meteor beyond visual range air-to-air missile, Scalp cruise missile and MICA weapons system will be the mainstay of the weapons package of the Rafale jets. | weapons_science |

It was intended to be a reliable, simple, and cheap semi-automatic or automatic rifle that could be mass produced for the Soviet Union following World War II. AK-74 vs AK-47: Huge difference in power and caliber The AK-47 and the derivatives fire the 7.62x39mm round. The AK-74 was built around the 5.45 round in an attempt to mimic the M-16's excellent performance with the 5.56 cartridge. Lighter than the 7.62×39, this meant that the AK-74 had naturally less recoil than the AK-47. But as far as availability of those magazines is concerned, the AK-47 has a clear advantage. It is like a .22LR lever action gun I have. Design work on the AK-47 began in the last year of World War II (1945).

Moreover, some gun enthusiasts express resistance to smart guns due to fears of government mandates that could infringe on their Second Amendment rights. The pushback against the technology has resulted in limited availability and slow market growth for smart guns. Conclusion Smart guns and biometrics are at the forefront of the next generation of firearms, promising to enhance safety and security in gun ownership. By incorporating advanced biometric measures, these firearms ensure that only authorized individuals can operate them, mitigating accidental shootings and unauthorized access. Although challenges remain, continued research and development in smart gun technology can address concerns and pave the way for a safer future for firearm enthusiasts and the broader community alike.
As the technology evolves, it holds read on the potential to transform the landscape of firearms, offering a balance between responsible gun ownership and enhanced safety measures.Enhancing Firearm Safety: The Role of Technology in Preventing Accidents Firearms have been an integral part of human history, serving various purposes ranging from self-defense to recreational shooting and hunting. However, with the privilege of gun ownership comes the responsibility to ensure firearm safety. Tragic accidents involving firearms continue to occur, leading to injury, death, and immense emotional distress for those affected. As technology continues to advance, it offers potential solutions to enhance firearm safety and prevent accidents. One of the most promising technological advancements is smart gun technology. Smart guns, also known as personalized guns, are designed to only be operable by authorized users. This is typically achieved through fingerprint recognition, RFID technology, or other biometric measures. By incorporating these safety features, smart guns significantly reduce the risk of unauthorized users, especially children, gaining access to firearms. This innovation could save countless lives and prevent devastating accidents caused by mishandling. Another significant improvement lies in the realm of firearm storage solutions.
Biometric safes and lockboxes are becoming increasingly popular among gun owners. These safes require the user’s fingerprint or other unique identifiers to unlock, keeping firearms secure from unauthorized access while ensuring quick access for the rightful owner in case of an emergency. Proper storage is vital in preventing accidents and deterring potential thefts. Advancements in Internet of Things (IoT) technology also contribute to firearm safety. IoT-enabled devices can provide real-time tracking and monitoring of firearms. Owners can receive alerts if their firearms are moved, tampered with, or leave designated safe zones. This added layer of security can deter theft and unauthorized use while promoting responsible gun ownership. Moreover, technology can play a role in promoting education and training. Virtual reality (VR) training simulators offer a safe and realistic environment for gun owners to practice handling firearms, improve marksmanship, and learn about safe firearm practices. | weapons_science |

Britain and her Empire now stood alone against the Nazi war machine and the threat of a seaborne invasion loomed. While the bulk of the Royal Navy sat in its home port of Scapa Flow awaiting the expected German landings, a life-or-death struggle played out in the skies above Britain as Hitler’s Luftwaffe pummeled the nation’s cities and airfields. The survival of the island nation depended on millions of tons of imported food, supplies, and other raw materials. However, with the Air Force and Navy focused on defense of the home islands, convoys of transports that formed the lifeline of vital imports were easy prey for German U-boats and long-range aircraft. During the first seven months of the war, the Germans sank 402 transports – over 1.3 million tons of shipping. By the end of 1940 the British were losing 382,000 tons of shipping monthly to German attacks. Consequently, the people of Great Britain faced the very real possibility of starvation and rations were cut for civilians.
While most of the 878 British Commonwealth merchant ships lost during the first year of the war are chalked up to U-boat attacks, few people realize that 172 of those transports were the victim of long-range attack aircraft. During the interwar period German firms developed long range aircraft, ostensibly for civilian use as it would have been a violation of the Treaty of Versailles to create long range bombers. Among these were the twin-engine Heinkel 111 (He-111) and four-engine Focke-Wulf 200 (Fw-200) “Condor.” However, these aircraft were built with a dual purpose in mind and by the start of the war large numbers were in Luftwaffe service as bombers. German engineers later modified both airframes to carry torpedoes and installed additional fuel tanks to increase range to over 2,210 miles (3,560 kilometers) for the Fw-200 and over 1,450 miles (2,340 kilometers) for the He-111. Operating from airfields located in western Occupied France and later Norway, they could reach the Allied shipping lanes west of Britain outside the range of land-based fighter aircraft.
Although merchant marine transports during the first year of the war often had destroyer escorts which could hunt and kill U-boats with depth charges, there was no defense against enemy ship hunting aircraft outside the range of friendly land-based fighters. Additionally, the Luftwaffe long range anti-ship bombers acted as aerial scouts and communicated the location and movement of British transports by radio to Kriegsmarine U-boats in the sea below. German aircraft ravaged the unarmed transport convoys with near impunity. In response, the Royal Air Force established the Merchant Ship Fighter Unit (MSFU). Cloaked in secrecy, pilots for the all-volunteer unit gathered at an RAF field near Liverpool in northwest England in early May 1941. For two hours thirty-five veteran RAF fighter pilots wandered around the airfield talking amongst themselves, trying to discover exactly what type of hazardous duty they had signed up for. That afternoon their new commander, Squadron Leader Louis Strange, gathered the men and explained the critical situation in the Atlantic and their new mission – protect transport convoys from aerial attack.
For MSFU pilots it meant a one way ticket on a Hawker Hurricane that had reached the end of its service life (the aircraft had hundreds of flight hours on them and had been used heavily in the Battle of Britain). The reason for using older aircraft was simple – pilots after taking off (and hopefully shooting down one or more German bombers) would bail out or land in the sea where they would be picked up by a friendly ship. They were to be the RAF version of the Japanese “kamikaze” suicide pilots.
Operating in concert with the Royal Navy, the pilots would launch from transport vessels fitted with an eighty-five-foot rocket-powered catapult system. The device used a battery of three-inch rockets that propelled the fighter plane to the necessary velocity. With flaps at thirty degrees, a pilot could make a perfect takeoff without losing height. Known as Catapult Aircraft Merchant ships (CAM ships), these vessels operated as normal transports carrying the usual supply load, however they also did double duty acting as convoy security against threats from the air. The idea being, that when an enemy bomber was sighted, the CAM ship would launch its fighter plane which would attack and either destroy or drive off the attacking bomber. The lumbering German bombers were vulnerable targets for the nimble fighters. As an added plus the RAF pilots, veterans of the Battle of Britain, already had ample experience flying against Luftwaffe bombers. Once in the air, however, the pilot had only two choices after the combat portion of the mission was completed: parachute into the frigid North Atlantic water, or under ideal circumstances stay with the plane as he ditched, climb out of the cockpit onto the wing before the plane sank, inflate a rubber raft, and float on the waves until he was picked up. Whether or not a ship could be dispatched right away to pick up the pilot depended on if the convoy was under U-boat attack and taking evasive action (better to lose one pilot than one or more ships with their crews). If a pilot in a convoy that was headed to the Soviet Union parachuted into the icy arctic waters, he could freeze to death in minutes.
CAM ships and their “kamikaze” pilots served in the Atlantic as well as Mediterranean theaters of operation. Surprisingly, of the nine combat launches in the Atlantic, only one pilot is listed as killed in action. Flight Officer J.B. Kendal launched from the SS Empire Morn on April 26, 1942, shot down one German plane, and ran off another before ditching. He died from injuries sustained while bailing out. On another occasion, Flying Officer Alistair Hay catapulted from the SS Empire Lawrence and shot down two He-111s before his aircraft was disabled from enemy fire and he was shot in the leg. Luck was with Hay that day, as his parachute landed alongside the HMS Volunteer whose crew quickly fished him out of the water and treated his wounds. Two other pilots were able to record kills and make it to airfields in Northern Ireland and the Soviet Union, while most ditched in the sea and were picked up by friendly ships. In all, the MSFU squadron downed ten German bombers and damaged or chased off three others, likely saving multiple transport ships and many lives.
By 1943 small escort aircraft carriers entered service and began to replace the CAM ships. The last MSFU combat mission from a ship on convoy duty in the Atlantic took place in July 1943 and accounted for one Fw-200 destroyed. Around this time the unit was disbanded, after which it faded into history. | weapons_science |

The Colt Model 1911 .45 caliber semi-automatic pistol may well be the longest-serving firearm of the industrial age. Its classic lines make it easy to recognize, from the pronounced grip safety above the traditional checked grips to the bore's gaping maw. It's been more than a hundred years since the first 1911s were introduced for military trials and their growth in popularity hasn't slowed down much since then. We're going to discuss what makes this pistol great, then talk over some of the best IWB holsters for 1911 pistols and go over the features that make them stand out from the rest.
The Colt Model 1911 was built from the ground up for knockdown, drag-out fighting. The knockdown part was of particular importance: while fighting Philippino guerrillas in a conflict eerily reminiscent of our recent struggles in the Middle East, the US Army discovered that its latest service revolver was simply not up to snuff when it came to stopping power.
The revolver in question, the Colt M1982 chambered in .38 Long Colt, was a serviceable if average example of its times but developed a reputation as severely underpowered in the face of jihadi fanaticism. The Moro guerrillas of the Philippines had fought Spanish occupation for centuries and were zealously committed to their cause. Known for suddenly bursting from hiding places or crowds with a sword to attack American troops, Moro insurgents supplemented their enthusiasm for close combat with a drug regimen designed to reduce their ability to feel pain. The .38 LC often failed to stop these attacks before it was too late, and the Army paid the price in killed and wounded men.
Let's get real, though: We're Americans. If our guns aren't big enough for the job, by God we will build bigger ones and try again. With that principle in mind, the Army set out to find a handgun better suited to stopping highly motivated attackers at close range. Field trials indicated that the enormous new .45 Automatic Colt Pistol cartridge made up for the .38 LC's deficiencies in spades. Remember, guns don't kill people, physics kills people. Boasting both a heavier bullet and a higher muzzle velocity than its predecessor, the new .45 ACP round delivered dramatically more energy to the target and as a result was capable of knocking down a running man at several meters' distance without sacrificing accuracy.
In fact, the M1911 succeeded so thoroughly against the Moro insurgency's tactics that it was adopted as the Army's sidearm and remained so until it was supplanted in the mid-1980's by the Beretta M92. Through two world wars, Korea, Vietnam, and beyond, the M1911 served with our troops overseas and in many a civilian police department. It remains a highly effective carry pistol, known especially for its outstandingly crisp trigger break and bone-crushing power. Whether you're a rank amateur or you rock that piece like Jerry Miculek, we'll help you find the holster that fits your style and comfort level.
The third rendition of Alien Gear's Cloak Tuck line has perfected its predecessors' designs and taken them to a new level of reliability and function. This fairly large, open-top IWB holster mounts to a back panel that connects to the wearer's belt using two mounting clips. The holster shell itself is adjustable via mounting screws which connect it to the back panel, so you should be able to find a position that works perfectly for you. Comfort is the watchword here: it's tough to overstate how well this rig will keep your 1911 in place and ready for action.
One of our favorite things about Alien Gear's offering is its retention system, a material called AlienSkin. They can call it "thermoplastic polymer" all they want; we know the truth is out there. Jokes aside, the material grips your pistol firmly but provides an impressively smooth draw when the time comes. IWB holsters rely almost exclusively on passive retention systems; if the bad guys are reaching into your pants to get your pistol, you've got more problems than just retention. We think the AlienSkin system is one of the best IWB holsters for 1911 pistols, and we're confident you will as well. On top of all this, Alien Gear Holsters provides a no-strings-attached lifetime warranty for all of their products. Given the price and the pedigree, it's tough to pass on this one.
In the interest of full disclosure, some carriers might take issue with the overall width of the Cloak Tuck 3.0. It's a pretty sizable chunk of leather and plastic, albeit cleverly designed to minimize its profile. If you're looking for a slim, minimalistic holster you can wear without a belt, this one is not going to work for you.
For a more detail review check out our review of the Cloak Tuck 3.0
Your concealed carry pistol can't help you if you're not carrying it, and sometimes we're forced to wear clothes that don't lend themselves very well to a full shell-and-panel arrangement. If you need a holster that's small enough not to draw attention even in light clothing while still keeping your pistol in position and easy to reach the Galco Waistband if right for you..
Galco has been operating for a long time, and their reputation for quality is very tough to beat. The attention to detail they put into their construction is the biggest reason for that longevity. Galco's American-made leather is tough, and the fittings with which they attach their belt clip are top tier. This rugged little piece of kit comes complete with an overhanging retention strap, but can be used without it if you prefer. If you carry cocked and locked, it can be a good idea to keep that strap over the top of the hammer, if for no other reason than to prevent perspiration and grit from getting to the moving parts.
No holster is perfect, though, and even the topflight Galco designs have their occasional flaws. In the case of the Waistband IWB, the main issue is the single belt clip. Compared with two-clip systems, this holster tends to shift around a bit more, and because it doesn't attach to a back panel, it won't feel quite as naturally snug as some of the other offerings on this list. That said, if you're looking for extremely high quality in a very compact package, this holster is hard to beat.
When it comes to small, unobtrusive holsters, Sticky Holsters has practically cornered the market. These things are dead simple: stick your gun in the holster, stick the holster in your waistband, and let the namesake sticky exterior material do the rest. We're still not convinced these things aren't made of voodoo, because despite the lack of clips, locks, straps, or any other attachments, they stay put. The exterior coating isn't "sticky" to the touch, but once it's in your waistband it warms up and locks in against your clothes (or skin, if you prefer.) This allows for secure carry in practically any outfit where you've got a secure place to stick the holster. One last major benefit is that these are not pistol-specific: If you carry different but similarly-sized pistols from day to day, the Sticky will work with all of them.
Despite the revolutionary design, there are a few downsides here. This holster offers very little in terms of retention beyond the pressure of your waistband, so if you're going to be doing armed cartwheels, look elsewhere. Likewise, because it's a solid panel of rubber-like material, these suckers can get a bit warm, which translates to sweaty in practice. Their performance doesn't suffer, but your pistol's finish might. Lastly, it's practically impossible to reholster your gun without removing the holster from your waistband, as it will collapse shut after you draw.
All of that means that this holster is designed for a particular type of carry. If you've got a waistband but no belt, or if you need something very small and thin with no visible exterior attachments, this is by far the best option you're going to find. These holsters work best for smaller-model 1911s; we would recommend against them when it comes to full 5" barrels.
No matter which model you pick, the key to comfortable carry and a smooth draw is practice. Know your weapon, know your gear, and remember: Knowledge may be half the battle, but the other half is drawing quick and shooting straight, every single time. | weapons_science |

Randy Newberg: Hey, folks! Randy Newberg here. We all know that this last year has brought a record number of first-time gun owners and hunters. And if you are one of the members of that club, welcome. We’re happy to have you here.
First Trip to the Shooting Range
Hopefully by now, you’ve been able to do some dry firing and really get to know how your gun operates. When you’re ready to start training with live ammunition, your local shooting range is a great place to start. But for newcomers, it can be a little intimidating if you’ve never done this before. Fear of accidentally breaking a rule, making a mistake, or just not knowing the ropes can be pretty overwhelming.
I’m here with Nosler at the Redmond Rod and Gun Club in central Oregon. And what we want to do today is give you five basic points—the five points that will make you comfortable and safe at any gun range. Let’s get started.
Know Your Range
Every shooting range is going to be a little different. So, it’s really important to know a few things before you arrive.
- Visit your range website or give them a call for basic information like range fees and hours of operation.
- You’ll also want to consider what target distances that range offers and whether that range is an indoor range. Or is it an outdoor range? Indoor ranges are typically catered towards handgun training, and the targets are usually somewhere between 25 and 50 yards. You’ll often find longer target distances at the outdoor ranges, and those ranges can be from 100 yards all the way out to 500 yards.
- You'll want to be aware of any specific range restrictions, and I’ll give you an example. Some ranges only allow a pistol or rimfire shoot. And a lot of ranges, they might not even allow shotgun shooting unless they have a designated shotgun area.
- Next, you want to make sure when you show up, you have everything that you need to have a safe experience while you’re here at the range.
- Things you should bring to the range include necessary items like eye protection—now that's pretty much a requirement at all ranges; ear protection, like earmuffs, earplugs, and/or both; paper targets for practice; and a gun rest if you’re shooting a rifle.
- A few more items you may want to consider are maybe some markers to label your shots if you’re using the same target for several groups.
- I always bring a pair of optics with me. Sometimes it’s my binoculars and sometimes it’s a spotting scope because that offers this high level of clarity and magnification were right for my shooting position. I can look downrange and see where my shots are hitting without having to physically go and check it. And most importantly, don’t forget your firearm. And make sure you have the correct ammunition for that firearm.
- Your gun must be in a case when you arrive. And do not, under any circumstance, carry a loaded firearm onto the range. And before you leave your house, double or triple check that your firearm is empty.
Almost every range will have range officers. We call them ROs for short. They run the range, and their sole job is to make sure that everyone stays safe. What they say goes, so make sure you’re paying attention to RO commands.
The RO will let shooters know when the range is hot, which means it’s OK to shoot. Sometimes, you’ll hear the RO announce the range is cold or cease fire. And all shooters must unload, lock their firearms open, step back, and wait for permission to go downrange before checking or retrieving their targets.
And finally, there are a few unwritten rules of range etiquette, and those rules are here for a reason. We all want to have a safe and enjoyable range experience.
You’re going to find that most folks at the range are some pretty friendly folks. They like to talk guns and shooting. But the time to talk guns and shooting is during the breaks or while changing targets during a cease fire. These are the perfect time to say hello, maybe introduce yourself, and ask any questions you might have.
With that being said, remember this. Try not to disturb the other shooters while they’re actively shooting or when they are handling their firearms. These things require a lot of focus, and even a well-intentioned conversation can distract shooters from the task at hand.
And finally, leave your range better than you found it. Pick up your trash, and clean all the rifle firing stations. Police your targets. Pull your targets. And all that is just kind of common sense, but it's definitely a courtesy expected from all of us who are shooting at a range.
There you have it, folks, a few tips for you to be safe and confident out here at the range. And just remember, you’re not alone. There are millions of new shooters coming out to the range. But when you come here, practice safety, be confident, and have fun. | weapons_science |
https://explorebyvishu.com/why-everyone-wants-s-400-missile-defense-system/ | 2021-01-18T15:58:52 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-04/segments/1610703515075.32/warc/CC-MAIN-20210118154332-20210118184332-00027.warc.gz | 0.96573 | 1,635 | CC-MAIN-2021-04 | webtext-fineweb__CC-MAIN-2021-04__0__52098923 | en | Russia impedes the normal existence of the United States. This conclusion can be drawn by reading the speech in Washington at a briefing by US Assistant Secretary of State for Political Affairs Clark Cooper .
Moscow, in his opinion, is to blame for trying to impose its other anti-aircraft missile systems on other countries, including the S-400. Thus, it limits the ability of the United States to supply “advanced weapons.” What weapons in the field of air defense Cooper considers “advanced” is unknown.
Having complained about the intrigues of the Russians, Cooper immediately made the S-400 air defense system such an advertisement that it was difficult to even dream about:
“A long way has been traveled since the AK-47 became a universal symbol of Soviet-supported rebel movements from Southeast Asia to Africa. Today, Russia is working hard to impose various versions of its S-400 anti-aircraft missile systems around the world. ”
So, the AK-47 is not only a symbol of rebel movements, but also a small weapon unattainable for American gunsmiths in terms of reliability, ease of operation, efficiency, manufacturability, low cost … The list of advantages is not limited to this.
In general, many thanks to the Assistant Secretary of State for comparing the S-400 with the AK-47. Alas, we cannot respond with a similar gesture of goodwill. Because the language does not turn to compare Patriot air defense systems with any classic Colt revolver.
Cooper called the time “difficult.” To a large extent this is due to the fact that other countries have the right to choose, and not everyone seeks to “become America’s partners.”
In these circumstances, Russia demonstrates its mischief: “Through targeted sales of systems such as S-400, Russia seeks to take advantage of the needs of its security partners to create obstacles to our ability to supply them with the most advanced defense systems.”
There is a shift in emphasis. Blame for Cooper is necessary, first of all, the American defense industry, which produces systems that are not able to compete with Russian air defense and missile defense systems. In particular, the Reiteon concern, which produces Patriot air defense systems.
The same Patriot, which did not respond to the Houthis attack on the Saudi oil terminals with the help of semi-articulated drones filled with explosives, and missiles developed in the 60s. It can hardly be considered an “advanced weapon”.
And if Riyadh is deeply disappointed with the American complexes, Russia has absolutely nothing to do with it. Yes, more than a year ago, the king received offers to sell the S-300 and S-400. The king thought about their acquisition. However, his thoughts were interrupted by the diplomatic pressure of Washington, who was extremely painful about the prospect of missing out on “America’s partner,” who could pay huge amounts of money for this partnership for the products of the US military-industrial complex.
And a year ago, there were plenty of reasons to doubt that, if necessary, American air defense systems would protect the country from air raids by unfriendly neighbors. For several years now, Hussites have periodically bombarded Saudi Arabia with tactical missiles, which are a local alteration of the Soviet Scud rocket, developed in the 60s. The effectiveness of the interception of the Scuds by American complexes is extremely low. But at the same time, the company “Ration” in the characteristics of the Patriot PAC3 air defense missile system indicates that the probability of interception of a single missile defense of a tactical missile is 0.6-0.8. We emphasize – any tactical missile, including the most modern. That is, for one Scud missile, a pair of missiles would be enough for the eyes.
At the same time, Reiteon’s last year’s report on the effectiveness of systems delivered to Saudi Arabia (Patriot PAC3 and slightly less efficient Patriot PAC2) states that on average 4 missiles of the “best air defense system in the world” are spent on one Scud. One missile is worth a million. 4 million for one “kerosene”.
The Saudis are rich, they are ready to pay any money, if only the country was reliably protected from “air surprises.” It was such a surprise that occurred in the second half of September, when 18 drones and 7 cruise missiles blew up two Saudi terminals. In this connection, there was a significant jump in oil prices. And this is a very serious matter.
At the same time, not a single American complex reacted to the attack. That is, not a single missile was launched.
The Americans immediately began to make excuses, saying that such a massive attack with small-sized aircraft was extremely difficult to detect. And one of the reasons for this complexity is that the territory of Saudi Arabia is very large, and you can’t keep track of everything. That for reliable protection of air borders it is necessary to build a layered air defense.
Meanwhile, it was the United States that built such an air defense system in Saudi Arabia that does not control the most missile-hazardous areas. It was the United States that equipped this system with its complexes. And so many of these complexes were sold to the Saudis that it is strange to hear about the absence of a multilevel layered air defense.
The airspace of Saudi Arabia is controlled by 17 AN / FPS-117 (V) 3 early warning radars, which form a single network together with a large number of tactical radars. It would seem that the fly will not fly. However, neither drones nor cruise missiles were detected by means of missile attack warning. All attacking means were able to achieve goals without hindrance.
The United States transferred 96 launchers of the Patriot PAC2 and PAC3 SAM systems to Saudi Arabia. Moreover, the complexes of the latest modification of PAC3 are twice as many as PAC2. And trained the local staff in their operation.
SAM Patriot are insured by other complexes, forming a three-level defense system. The second level is represented by medium-range air defense systems – up to 40 km. These include 128 I-Hawk air defense launchers. Of course, they appeared a long time ago – in the 70s, but as a result of a number of modernizations they managed to be brought to a completely modern state. Of course, in the understanding of the United States.
The third level of defense includes 400 short-range air defense systems M1097 Avenger. This is a cross-country vehicle with two Stinger rocket cartridges and a 12.7 mm caliber anti-aircraft machine gun. All this is controlled by radar. Against drones, the “Stingers” are powerless because they are equipped with thermal homing heads. But with subsonic cruise missiles, not the most perfect, they are quite capable of dealing.
And all this colossus, for which “America’s partner” paid a lot of money, was inactive during the attack on the terminals. When 10, 20, 30 complexes do not work, then this can be attributed to a tragic accident. But when more than six hundred launchers, served by a hundred radars, do not work, then this is a verdict.
It finally came to Riyadh. Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman turned for help to Seoul for the acquisition of medium-range South Korean air defense systems.
It turns out that not only Russia, but also South Korea is putting sticks in the wheels of the United States, preventing the sale of American low-quality military equipment for air defense. The ratio of the effectiveness of Russian and American air defense systems became clear to the Turks. They, not wanting to throw money away, bought the S-400 system. India is going to do the same. | weapons_science |

PIERRE, S.D. (Dakota News Now) - South Dakota’s capitol city will have a US Navy combat ship named after it.
Pierre mayor Steve Harding says the process for the USS Pierre, a littoral combat ship, started in February 2019.
When building a ship, Harding says the Navy has three main events: the keel-laying, the christening, and the commissioning of the ship. Those steps will take place over the next four years.
Dakota Radio Group reports the USS Pierre will be 419 feet long, 104 feet wide and travel at speeds up to 51 miles per hour. The ship will serve as a close-to-shore warship and is scheduled for commissioning in the summer of 2024.

They were also a very versatile weapon that could be used for both close combat and hunting.
They were used by all types of warriors, and they were especially powerful for the strong. They could kill with one blow and break the shield of a weaker opponent.
Axes were a common weapon in the Viking age.
In the Viking age, axes were one of the most common weapons in the hands of both men and women. They were a simple and inexpensive weapon that could be used in many different ways.
The axe was used by people all over the world to cut down trees, process wood, and build things. It was also used as a weapon during times of war.
Axes were a common weapon during the Viking age because they were easy to make and were cheaper than swords. This meant that even the poorest of men were able to afford an axe.
Throughout the Viking age, axes changed in appearance and became longer and stouter. Some of them were even made as pole-arms.
These axes were often crafted from iron. They were also decorated with intricate patterns, and some even had a bird motif. These motifs are commonly seen on axes that belonged to warriors. Some axes were highly decorated, like the axe from Mammen in Jutland that is inlaid with silver.
Another popular axe design was the bearded axe, or skeggox in Old Norse. This axe design allowed a wider blade surface while reducing the overall weight of the weapon. It was also a great tool for hooking and pulling weapons from an enemy or a shield, which gave the wielder an advantage in combat.
Some axes were even wrapped in metal to prevent them from breaking when the haft was exposed to high impact or pressure. This method of securing the axe was called vafinskepta and is mentioned in a number of different sagas.
Besides being an extremely useful and versatile weapon, the axe was also quite dangerous to use. Its sharp blade was very effective at cutting through shields and plate armor, and skilled warriors were able to take down their enemies in close combat.
Axes were a poor man’s weapon.
In the Viking age, axes were often used as a weapon by poor men. They were an inexpensive and common weapon, which made them an excellent choice for those who could not afford swords or did not want to spend the money to purchase one.
There were many types of axes during the Viking age, and they came in all shapes and sizes. Some were very small and used for wood-cutting, while others were larger and designed for fighting.
Battle axes were the most commonly used type of axe, and were usually held in both hands. They were heavy and sharp, so they were a great choice for battle.
They were also incredibly versatile. They could be used to chop down trees, cut ropes and other materials, and even break bones.
Axes were not just used for combat, they also played an important role in Viking funerals, where they were buried with the deceased as a sign of their status and power.
To protect the hand against glancing and sliding blows, a small metal disk guard was added to the ax grip. This is known as the ax-handle, or axe grip.
Another type of ax, known as the seax, was much smaller and resembled a knife. This was a good choice for a poor man because it would not require the expensive forging skills of swords and because it was a relatively simple weapon to manufacture, compared with a sword.
The head of the ax was often wrapped in a wrap, similar to what was done with modern knives. This helped keep the blade from being ripped apart and made it easier to hold and use.
Axes were a powerful weapon.
In the Viking age, axes were a common and highly effective weapon. They were light enough that a warrior could handle them easily, yet strong enough to deliver a brutal blow to their opponent. They were also useful for a variety of tasks around the home.
Axes were made of a variety of materials, such as wood, metal, or stone, and were forged in a number of ways. In addition to their function as a weapon, they were also used for building boats and houses.
Some axes were designed for combat, while others were meant for heavy-duty wood-cutting and splitting tasks. The Dane axe was a popular choice for these purposes, as it had a thin blade profile and a large, curving cutting edge.
Bearded axes (also known as skeggox) were another popular type of Viking axe. They were thicker and heavier than the Danish axe, and their design helped them to deliver a more powerful blow.
They were typically around one to five feet long, with the head of the axe being slightly longer than the shaft or haft. The head was attached to the haft by a wedge, which provided a secure and very sturdy joint.
Unlike swords, which were relatively expensive to manufacture and were only available to the wealthy, axes were a very affordable weapon for many people in the Viking age. Moreover, they were incredibly easy to maintain.
In fact, axes were so widespread in the Viking age that a typology for them was first established in 1919 by Jan Petersen. This typology has remained the standard for the study of axes and weaponry more broadly. It has twelve different types and identifies two main categories of Viking axes: bearded and Danish.
Axes were a versatile weapon.
Unlike swords, axes were a versatile weapon that could be used in a variety of combat situations. They were easier to make and less expensive than swords, so they were often preferred by Viking warriors.
Viking axe for sale had a long history, dating back to the Stone Age. They were also used in other areas of society, such as chopping wood or building houses and wagons.
In fact, axes were so popular that they even made their way into Viking legends and folklore. For example, Ragnar Lothbrok was a famous Viking warrior who used an axe in his battles.
Some Viking axes were carved with beautiful designs and motifs, such as the Mammen axe found in a grave in Mammen, Denmark. The axe was decorated with both Christian and Pagan symbols.
Another type of axe was the bearded axe, which was used for chopping and splitting. This type of axe was heavier than other Viking axes, and it could be used for more complex tasks.
It was also more effective in close-range fights and melee fights. It could be used to inflict massive blunt trauma against armor and sever body parts without penetrating the skin.
This type of axe was more convenient for use in close-range combat as it could be used single-handed. It could be paired with a shield to protect the warrior.
The axe was also more effective in causing large blunt trauma against armor and severing body parts than the sword. This was because the axe could hook shields, whereas the sword would leave a wide opening for an attacker to hit.
Axes were a dangerous weapon.
One of the most common weapons used by Viking warriors was the axe. It was a versatile weapon that could be used to chop wood and build houses. It was also a powerful weapon that allowed Vikings to attack and kill their opponents.
Axes were dangerous weapons because they tended to inflict serious wounds. They were usually made of a hard wood called ash, which was strong enough to withstand impact. Axes also had a long handle that was often made of wood, which gave them a more intimidating look.
In addition to the axe’s strength and durability, it was also a symbol of power and strength for the Viking people. It was a common element in their culture and was frequently adorned with intricate designs that showed off the Vikings’ values.
Aside from being a weapon of war, axes were an important tool for farmers and fishermen. They were used to chop wood, build houses, and attack enemy forces.
During the Viking age, there were many different types of axes. Some were designed for chopping wood and building, while others were specifically made for warfare. Some axes were made with longer blades that allowed Viking warriors to hook their opponent’s leg or shield.
Some Viking axes were also designed with a curved beard that allowed for a larger cutting edge while decreasing the weight of the axe. This bearded axe design was used by Vikings for both their farm work and in combat.
Another popular type of Viking axe was the Dane axe, which had a narrow blade profile and a large arcing cutting edge. These axes were particularly good at cutting through thick wood and were also effective in delivering compelling blows against an assassin. | weapons_science |

How do you make an axe handle?
How To Make and Hang An Axe Handle
- Ensure your grain runs vertically from the handle to the head of the axe. Pick a nice, straight grained hardwood for your axe handle.
- Fit the Handle onto the axe Head.
- Remove Material from High Points.
- Apply oil to Finish.
Can you make an axe handle out of maple?
Choose a freshly cut bolt of ash, hickory, sugar maple, yellow birch, or hophornbeam. A firewood cutter would be a good source. The wood should be green and straight-grained, without knots, about 10 to 16 inches in diameter.
What is the best wood to make an axe handle?
Long, straight-grained woods such as hickory or ash are traditionally chosen for axe handles because they are strong and produce long, straight staves.
Why is an axe handle curved?
“But with the curved handle, any rotation is controlled by the chopper’s hands grasping the lower curve at the grip. Therefore the real axis of pivot does not pass through the ax head at all because the 10 degree bend of the lower handgrip is not pointed in that direction.
Is an axe better than a sword?
Axes can be also used as a melee weapon. They deal more damage than swords, and a wooden axe has the same damage as a diamond sword. However, there are three drawbacks as a weapon: Attacking with an axe will cause it to take double durability damage.
Is an axe a wedge?
The axe is an example of a simple machine, as it is a type of wedge, or dual inclined plane. This reduces the effort needed by the wood chopper. It splits the wood into two parts by the pressure concentration at the blade. Generally, cutting axes have a shallow wedge angle, whereas splitting axes have a deeper angle.
Is hard maple good for axe handle?
I would say go with maple, its a bit heavier than ash, but makes a great ax handle, and will probably look better on the knife then ash as well, especially if you can get some curly stuff.
Does Osage orange make good axe handles?
Osage Orange ranks as one of the hardest woods on the janka hardness scale at about: 2,620 lbf(11,640 N). It is statiscally better than the other woods used for tool handles throughout the industry!

Look at all the money those war material manufacturers will be making. Is this Obama’s job stimulus program? Green is for m-o-n-e-y.
It was no surprise that the stock market dropped yesterday. A 1.59% drop in one day on the S&P 500. After all the threat of the United States at war in Syria could have an additional impact on our country. Most likely it will impact every country as the cost of oil and other commodities increases.
Then today the stock markets in the United States have risen by .3%. How can that be? Why would the stock market rise when the threat of war is still so prominent?
MSN Money seems to have the answer. “Sales for the world’s 100 largest arms producers amounted to $411 billion in 2010, according to the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute. That was up 1% from the year before, a modest rise that was held in check by the drawdown of foreign forces in Iraq.”
The top ten listed below.
- Arms sales in 2010 $11.4 billion
- Arms sales in 2010 $13.1 billion
- Arms sales in 2010 $14.4 billion
- Arms sales in 2010 $16.4 billion
Arms sales in 2010 $23 billion.
- Raytheon’s web site says, “The combat-proven Tomahawk is the world’s most capable cruise missile and is ideally suited for critical long-range, precision-strike missions against high-value with minimal collateral damage.”
- Arms sales as percent of total revenue: 91%.
- Total Number of Employees: 72,400.
- Arms sales in 2010 $23.9 billion

Which flew about 74 minutes before landing in the sea. In area.
The ICBM was launched after Pyongyang threatened the US to hit any of its spying sites if it entered its territory, which Washington denies, saying that its “military patrols are in accordance with international law”. Is.”
Last year, North Korea tested a record number of missiles, including one capable of hitting US territory.
The Japanese coast guard said the North Korean missile flew east of Pyongyang for more than an hour before landing in the sea west of Japan at about 11:15 local time (02:15 GMT) on Wednesday.
The South Korean military said the high-angle flight covered a distance of 1,000 km (621 mi).
The country has continued testing its weapons with an ICBM it has said is the “most powerful” it has ever built.
North Korea also attempted to launch a military satellite into space in May, which failed.
Following North Korea’s ICBM launch, South Korean and American officials met and issued a statement reiterating their “robust joint defense”.
The South Korean Joint Chiefs said, “We strongly condemn the launch of a long-range ballistic missile by North Korea, a serious provocation that harms the peace and stability of the Korean Peninsula and the international community and UN security.” There is a clear violation of the Council’s resolutions.” The staff said.
South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol also called an emergency meeting of his National Security Council from Lithuania, where he is attending a NATO summit.
Pyongyang’s last test firing was in mid-June when it launched two short-range ballistic missiles in response to US and South Korean drills. The last ICBM was tested in February.
Wednesday’s launch comes days after tensions soared to a new high with Washington threatening to halt its air patrols and a nuclear submarine proposal in Korean waters.
Kim Yo-jong, the influential sister of North Korean leader Kim Jong-un, claimed on Monday that North Korea successfully shot down a US spy drone flying over nearby waters.
Kim Yo-jong warned that if US spy planes continue to intrude into North Korea’s economic waters, especially the 20-40 kilometer stretch, there could be a “shocking incident” in the future.
However, both the US and South Korea have rejected the allegations and called for restraint to avoid further escalation.
In response to rising tensions, the US State Department called for the avoidance of any further escalation and urged the nation to engage in meaningful diplomacy.
South Korea’s Joint Chiefs of Staff also rejected US claims, saying that Washington was conducting routine reconnaissance activities in coordination with South Korea’s military. | weapons_science |

Over the weekend, North Korea launched an intercontinental ballistic missile for the first time, which experts believe could have a long enough range to hit Alaska. [NPR / Elise Hu]
- The US military is already classifying the weapon as a new missile not yet seen, because it contained a second stage that allowed the weapon to travel a greater distance. [CNN / Barbara Starr and Jeremy Herb]
- The missile ultimately did not get that far, or land in any other country; it was launched at a high enough trajectory so that it traveled for more than 500 miles before eventually falling into the sea between North Korea and Japan. It also was not carrying a nuclear weapon, but that’s the ultimate goal for the regime. [Vox / Alex Ward]
- But the implications of this latest launch are frightening. North Korea testing weapons has always been a scary prospect, but what is increasingly scary is that the regime is making good on its promise to develop nuclear weapons capable of hitting the United States. [Vox / Alex Ward]
- The question on everyone’s mind now is how the US and other nations will respond — and to what lengths they will go to halt North Korea’s nuclear ambitions.
- Foreign policy experts generally agree there is a handful of possible options, but with a country as unstable as North Korea, none of them are ideal. The first would be to continue the Obama-era policy of “strategic patience,” essentially working to punish the regime through further sanctions and diplomatic means in the hopes that they start behaving better. [The Atlantic / Mark Bowden]
- The latest missile tests have shown North Korea isn’t planning to comply, which is why some believe the US may pursue other options involving military force. This could include limited strikes on North Korean missile sites to try to de-nuclearize the country, without removing dictator Kim Jong Un. [The Atlantic / Mark Bowden]
- Trump’s strategy so far has been to lean on China, encouraging the country to put pressure on North Korea to halt its nuclear ambitions. On Wednesday, US Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley warned China that if it continues to trade with North Korea, the US would consider pulling its trade deals with China. [Associated Press / Edith Lederer]
- With any action toward North Korea, the US has to tread carefully and think about how the regime would respond, and how that could impact its key Asian allies South Korea and Japan, two populous nations within range of a potential attack from the North. [NYT / Motoko Rich]
- After North Korea’s launch this weekend, the US and South Korea quickly responded with military exercises of their own, while Russia and China urged diplomatic talks. [CNN / Jim Westcott and Stella Kim] | weapons_science |

The first is THAAD or terminal high altitude area defense.
Features of the Best SHORAD Systems
There are many different kinds of SHORAD systems that are in use by countries around the world today. Each of these systems has its own unique capabilities and functions. Here are some of the most notable features.
The main goal of SHORAD systems is to defend against incoming aerial attacks. Some of these attacks are tricky to detect with precision. For instance, the PGM, C-RAM, ABTs and dense salvos can be hard to detect by some systems. Thus, it is crucial to have extremely high accuracy in detecting threats. A good SHORAD system should be just as accurate in deploying countermeasures in order to intercept the spotted attack.
Integrated Weapons Systems
A dependable SHORAD system should focus on not just one or two areas of defense. Instead, they should be more versatile to give comprehensive defense. The best ones include multiple integrated weapons meant to target a variety of attacks. They should provide a high level of defense against aerial attacks from planes, helicopters and other low-flying aircraft. In addition, they should also be able to defend against land threats such as tanks. They must also have the ability to counter artillery shells, mortars and rockets.
Even as a standalone defense unit, any SHORAD system must be able to maintain constant and clear communication with the command and control center. This will ensure that all units will have full situational awareness at all times. It also minimizes the risk of deviating from the line of command due to gaps in communication. | weapons_science |

For the first time in its history, the Department conducted all major strategic reviews in an integrated way, aligned with the National Security Strategy. By weaving these documents together, the entire Department is matching resources to goals.
The 2022 NDS sets the Department’s strategic direction and priorities for the Joint Force, identifying how the U.S. military will meet growing threats to U.S. national security interests and to a stable and open international system.
The 2022 NDS identifies four top-level defense priorities that the Department must pursue to strengthen deterrence:
- Defending the homeland, paced to the growing multi-domain threat posed by the People’s Republic of China (PRC);
- Deterring strategic attacks against the United States, Allies, and partners;
- Deterring aggression, while being prepared to prevail in conflict when necessary – prioritizing the PRC challenge in the Indo-Pacific region, then the Russia challenge in Europe, and;
- Building a resilient Joint Force and defense ecosystem.
The 2022 NDS also identifies three ways in which the Department will achieve its priorities – integrated deterrence, campaigning, and building enduring advantage.
The 2022 NPR reaffirms that as long as nuclear weapons exist, the fundamental role of U.S. nuclear weapons is to deter nuclear attack on the United States, our Allies, and our partners. The United States would only consider the use of nuclear weapons in extreme circumstances to defend the vital interests of the United States or its Allies and partners. The NPR takes a comprehensive and balanced approach to defending vital national security interests and reducing nuclear risks while affirming a continuing commitment to a safe, secure, and effective nuclear deterrent and strong and credible extended deterrence.
The 2022 MDR underscores that missile defense contributes to integrated deterrence by undermining a potential foe’s confidence in its ability to mount a successful attack.

The statement, which came after the third COVID-19 related postponement of the long-awaited 10th Review Conference (RevCon) of the Nuclear Non-proliferation Treaty (NPT), was important for several reasons.
“A nuclear war can not be won and must never be fought,” the leaders agreed in the statement, reflecting a landmark statement by Ronald Reagan and Mikhail Gorbachev at a 1985 Geneva summit. The US, Russia and China have reaffirmed the Reagan-Gorbachev Declaration on several occasions in recent years. The UK and France, however, arguing that confirming the promise could undermine the deterrent value of their nuclear arsenal, have long resisted it. France, which has a nuclear doctrine under which it reserves the right to use tactical nuclear weapons against aggressors as a “last warning”, was particularly resilient. Thus, France and the UK to agree to the inclusion of this promise in the Joint Declaration was a major development.
In the statement, the five leaders also listed nuclear risk reduction as one of their “main responsibilities”. This was probably in response to the efforts of the Stockholm Initiative for Nuclear Disarmament, launched in 2019 by 16 non-nuclear-weapon states with the aim of “promoting a successful outcome of the NPT’s 10th Review Conference by providing political support” build”. for a pragmatic and results-oriented nuclear disarmament agenda ”.
In 2020, in celebration of the 50th anniversary of the NPV, members of the Stockholm Initiative adopted a set of proposals or “stepping stones” aimed at reducing the risk of nuclear weapons use, mainly through declaratory commitments. On January 3, the five nuclear states met this requirement by including a firm commitment to “nuclear war avoidance” in their joint declaration.
In the statement, nuclear weapons countries also announced their desire “to work with all states to create a security environment that is more conducive to advancing disarmament”, and thus their support for the Creating an Environment for Nuclear Disarmament (CEND) initiative restored by the US. in 2018. The reaffirmation of the CEND is important because it involves nuclear weapons that own countries that are outside the NPT, and therefore much more inclusive. In addition, it enables involvement in informal environments and leaves room for flexible debates, unlike NPT RevCons which requires lengthy preparations and allows only rigid, formal discussions. It is important to note, however, that the CEND initiative has received criticism from various quarters as an attempt to divert attention from nuclear weapons states’ failure to move forward with their disarmament promises. The initiative also brought long-standing tensions to the surface between proponents of deterrence prioritizing the stabilization of nuclear-weapon relations, and proponents of disarmament calling for the reduction of nuclear arsenals.
All in all, the January 3 joint statement hit all the right notes at the explanatory level, and its purpose was served by tensions over the rapidly deteriorating relations between the US and Russia on the one hand and the US and China on the other slightly. to relieve. Despite all its positive aspects, the statement is unlikely to reverse the ongoing negative trajectory of global non-proliferation on the ground.
Indeed, nuclear-power modernization plans from all five nuclear-weapon states are moving relentlessly forward. Instead of reducing spending on nuclear weapons, the Biden administration plans to spend a whopping $ 634 billion on the operation, maintenance and modernization of the US nuclear arsenal between 2021 and 2030. Similarly, China continues to expand its nuclear arsenal and moves to build a strong “nuclear triad” – a three-pronged military power structure that includes land-launched nuclear missiles, nuclear-armed submarines and strategic aircraft with nuclear bombs and missiles. Beijing is known to be testing modern weapons systems such as the hypersonic glider and has reportedly begun building hundreds of new ballistic missile silos across the country, and on January 4, just one day after the joint statement was issued, China said it would continue to to “modernize” its nuclear arsenal and calls on the US and Russia, which together own more than 90 percent of all explosives in the world, to rather reduce their nuclear arsenals.The AUKUS Security Treaty of September 2021 between the US, the UK and Australia, as part of which the Australian military will acquire nuclear-powered submarines, has also set a worrying precedent for the future of the non-proliferation regime.
The joint statement by the five nuclear weapons states also gave no indication that important steps towards nuclear disarmament could be taken in the near future. Many important initiatives that could help the world move towards disarmament, such as the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty (CTBT), were not even mentioned in the joint statement. All of this suggests that the focus of nuclear weapons states is limited, at least for now, to risk mitigation measures, and that there is no real appetite for direct disarmament talks.
The nuclear weapons states’ lack of appetite for disarmament was already sharply focused when the Nuclear Weapons Convention (TPNW), which envisages a comprehensive and unequivocal ban on the development and possession of nuclear weapons, came into force. in January 2021. None of the nuclear weapons states supports the agreement. Many of the non-nuclear-armed members of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), including Germany, along with states such as Australia and Japan, also do not support the agreement, because despite supporting non-proliferation in theory, they believe the American nuclear power. arsenal increases their overall security.
There are many other signs that the future of nuclear non-proliferation is in jeopardy. The recent failures of the NPT, including its members’ inability to adopt a common set of recommendations for the 2020 RevCon at the 2019 PrepCom, the demise of key arms control agreements such as the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces (INF) Convention and the Open Skies treaty, and growing tensions between the US and Russia, as well as the US and China have left many proponents of nuclear disarmament without much hope for the future.
In this context, the January 3 statement may be seen as a very small, yet important step in the right direction. There is no indication that there will be any significant changes in the status quo in the near future. But with this statement, five of the world’s most powerful nations came together for the first time in a promise to avoid nuclear power, and it still needs to be celebrated.

Imagine this all in polished brass on a mahogany base. I can see a new project coming!
Though this silent shooter throbs with electric power, it’s based on just about the oldest ballistic principle on record—the one that helped David clobber Goliath with a sling: pick up a missile, spin it to gather force, then let go. Wham!
Not that this cannon is any giant-killer. We kept it small to be on the safer side. But it’s a great demonstration of centrifugal power, and it’ll shoot a BB 25 or 30 feet at a muzzle velocity of around 25 feet per second. This may set you thinking of the potential of a centrifugal gun whirled by a gas turbine at, say, 20,000 r.p.m. With an effective wing radius of about 6 in., you’d get a muzzle velocity of over 5000 f.p.s.— better than a high-powered rifle!
The spin mechanism is simple and cheap to build. The toy motor is mounted by soldering its lugs or bushing (or both) into a hole in the bottom of a cellophane-tape can. The rotor that’s spun by the motor shaft consists of a base plate to which is soldered a short tube, bent and slotted to allow free passage of the BB shot. This unit must turn without binding; the pickup spike must pass freely through the end slot. Bevel the opposite end of the tube flush with the top of the can cover.
The end of the magazine tube is undercut and bent so the dropping BB enters cleanly into the whirling pick-up tube. A large paper clip provides wire for the trigger. Pulling back on it releases one shot while blocking the others. This lets the rotor recover its speed between shots. | weapons_science |

About Vindicare Assassin Operatives
The Vindicare Assassins specialise in vengeance and revenge killings. They make use of a specially designed, long-range Sniper Rifle called the Exitus Rifle. The Vindicare Assassin brings inglorious death to the Emperor's enemies with a Sniper's bullet. Vindicare Assassins have been known to wait in a position for as long as two weeks before taking a shot. Many rebellions and cults have been ended with one, perfect shot from a Vindicare's rifle.
The Vindicare Temple teaches the assassin the art of patience and the perfection of marksmanship. These stoic assassins are conditioned by their temple to be unflinchingly loyal to the Imperium, often being trained to limit their vocabulary only to words that are useful for their profession, cutting off all emotional attachments to other humans so that they will never hesitate to eliminate any target.The intense training of a Vindicare Assassin enables them to pick out a single target even amongst roving hordes of enemies on the battlefield.
|A Vindicare Assassin scopes|
The Exitus Rifle of a Vindicare Assassin is his primary weapon, and is chambered to fire a variety of specialised ammunition types, therefore he is equipped to take out targets ranging from well-shielded individuals to monstrous beasts or vehicles. He is also issued with an Exitus Pistol, which fires a shot more powerful than most personal firearms used in the Imperium, providing him with a valuable short-ranged weapon for situations where a sniper's rifle would not do.
Vindicare Assassins wear a Spy Mask, which is able to scan on a wide spectrum to pick out heat and energy sources over long distances. The mask also allows the Assassin to monitor the enemy's communication channels, and comes equipped with concentrated food and water cartridges for extended operations. They also wear a specially designed Stealth Suit, which combines normal synskin with chameleon chemicals to hide their forms in their surroundings. | weapons_science |

Steel patterning plates that reveal shotgun shot pattern work quite well with lead shot and soft nontoxic shot such as Bismuth and Tungsten-Matrix, but they should not be used when testing loads containing steel shot or other equally hard nontoxics such as Hevi-Shot and Tungsten-Iron. Pellets from these could bounce back and hit the shooter.
You can make your own shotgun patterning board by attaching heavy cardboard to a couple of eight-foot, wooden 2x4s with their ends buried about 18 inches into the ground.
You will also need plain paper measuring 36 to 40 inches wide. A roll can be purchased at most paper supply houses, or you might check with your local newspaper publisher to see if unused scrap paper of that width is available.
To pattern your shotgun, use a heavy-duty staple gun to attach a sheet of paper to the backboard, and you are ready to shoot your first pattern. The soft backboard used on a rig of this type makes it suitable for testing all types shot.
I do a lot of pattern testing and find the Targomatic system from Baker Engineering (www.targomatic.com) well worth the $99 price tag.
See our content on – How to Become a Better Marksman & Stop Flinching When Shooting.
I prefer to do shotguns pattern-test while sitting at a benchrest with my elbows resting atop something soft. In a pinch, a coat or duffel bag will do. It is important that the gun be held steady as its trigger is squeezed. If you find it too tiring to support the shotgun with your arms, try resting the back of the hand that holds its fore-end atop a soft support.
Testing heavy shotshell loads from the bench can become uncomfortable, so don’t be bashful about placing a sausage-shaped “sissy bag” from Brownells (661/623-4000, www.brownells.com) or Sinclair International (219/493-1858, www.sinclairintl.com) between the stock and your shoulder.
What Distance Should be Used to Pattern a Shotgun?
Shotgun and shotshell manufacturers test their products by shooting a pattern at 40 yards and then drawing a 30-inch circle around the highest concentration of holes in the paper (the .410 is tested at 25 yards).
In simple words, the ideal distance to pattern a shotgun is 30% wider than the point-blank range.
They then count the pellet holes in the circle and compare it with the number of pellets in the load to determine a shotgun’s choke or a load’s performance.
Since patterns fired with the same gun/choke/load combo can vary from one to the next, the manufacturers usually fire a minimum of 10 patterns and average them for the final result.
What you have just read is quite useful for those who desire to compare the performance of their shotguns and loads to the industry standards, but for those of us who take most game birds closer to the muzzles of our guns, shooting at closer ranges reveals more useful information. Since most of the bobwhite quail I bag hit the ground 15 to 25 yards from the toes of my boots, I am more interested in how a gun/load combination performs at those ranges.
A shotgun used for wingshooting should place the center of its shot pattern either dead on the shooter’s hold point or slightly high. If you find that your gun is shooting too high or too low, it can be cured by changing the amount of drop at the comb of its stock.
Lowering the comb with a wood rasp (or having it done by a gunsmith) will lower your eye in relation to the muzzle of the gun and cause the gun to shoot lower. Increasing comb height by the application of layers of adhesive-backed moleskin will cause it to shoot higher.
Applying layers of the same material to the left side of the comb will cause the gun to shoot farther to the left (for a right-handed shooter) while removing wood from that side of the stock will cause it to shoot farther to the right.
Some guns may require more drastic measures. A practical option for a pump or autoloader with no rib on its barrel is to have a gunsmith adjust pattern point of impact by carefully bending the barrel in the proper direction. A barrel with a rib can also be bent, but since a portion of the rib will likely have to be broken loose and then resoldered back in place, it can be expensive.
Another option is to install an optical sight on a shotgun and then zero the gun like a rifle. This option is popular among turkey hunters, but I doubt if wingshooters will ever accept it in great numbers.
The best fix for any type of gun that doesn’t shoot where you are looking is to have an eccentric screw-in choke fitted to its barrel by Briley Manufacturing (800/331-5718,www.briley.com).
When this type of choke is installed, its bore and the bore of the barrel are intentionally misaligned by the precise amount needed to shift pattern point of impact by the desired amount and in the desired direction. It doesn’t affect pattern quality.
Spending some time at the pattern board can also reveal a gun’s preference in loads and shot sizes. Just as deer rifles often shoot more accurately with some loads than with others, so it goes with shotguns–except in the case of scatterguns we often see differences in pattern quality.
Scattergun has a different pattern compared to shotgun
Last but certainly not least in importance, patterning shotgun will reveal how the effective diameters of the patterns it shoots are affected by changes in choke constriction, shot sizes and load quality at the various ranges at which game birds are usually taken.
For example, if most of your shots are inside 25 yards and the effective pattern diameter delivered by your gun/choke/ammo combination measures smaller than 25 inches at that distance, you should seriously consider switching to a choke with less constriction.
Moving to the opposite extreme, if the effective pattern diameter of your long-range load measures much greater than 40 inches at 40 yards, you might need to tighten up the choke in order to deliver adequate shot density at that range.
How to Choose a Place to Practice Shotgun Patterning
Hunters have a range of choices when it comes to choosing a place to practice shotgun patterning.
However, there are legal and safety issues to observe before one decides to go for shooting practice.
I would recommend you seek guidance from your local shooting range.
Practicing at a local shooting range has a lot of benefits. For example, ranges always observe local, state, and federal laws that govern shooting ranges. Moreover, a shooting range provides adequate distance needed to pattern a shotgun.
Apart from expertise skills acquired in a shooting range, you get top-range safety equipment for shotgun patterning. I am at talking about hearing and eyesight protection. Shotgunners know that a scope and a rangefinder are invaluable in patterning tests.
While some ranges are open to public shooting, others only allow private members.
You can choose either place depending on where you feel you can get the best shooting techniques.
It is advisable to observe the rules and commands when practicing in a shooting range.
It is important to learn what the range officer means by the commands “cease-fire” and “range is active.”

While it is a scary thought to realize that the North Koreans may have missile and nuclear technology to deliver a nuclear strike on the USA and the Iranian nuclear program and rhetoric is destabilizing an already dangerous region of the world, I wonder at our approach and the urgency of action.
Let’s get the record straight, I have been in favor of nuclear disarmament from the days of debate club in high school! There are just some weapons that we should not consider part of our arsenal. As nuclear technology gets into more and more people’s hands, the road to becoming a nuclear state has been shortened. We’ve had our “allies” in Pakistan with security so lax that their scientists have spread the technology throughout the third world. Pakistan and India both have nuclear bombs and are bitter enemies that have come close to all our war several times. They don’t have any oil or perhaps we’d be more focused on the threat to our existence from their nuclear technology.
Even in the Middle East we have an undeclared nuclear power in Israel. I completely understand how some might look at our stand with regard to Israel’s nuclear weapons and contrast that with our stance versus the Iranian nuclear development program and wonder about the consistency of our moral pronouncements. I understand that Israel’s very right to exist is still in play but turning a blind eye to their nuclear weapons in the Middle East while ramping up for confrontation with Iran over these same weapons is difficult to fathom.
I don’t know that we can close the Pandora’s box of nuclear technology. Technological advances tend to make yesterday’s impossible technology, today’s common knowledge. I am not saying that making nuclear bombs is easy but I think we can expect that more and more countries may feel compelled to direct their scientists and money towards the development of nuclear weapons. An isolated North Korea sees nuclear weapons as essential to their security, an embattled Israel likewise sees defense of their country demanding a nuclear arsenal. I can name a dozen other countries that may soon feel that there are compelling reasons to make a bomb, countries such as Brazil, Venezuela, Turkey or Saudi Arabia.
With an increasing international dependence upon nuclear energy for peaceful purposes as the world’s real energy crisis worsens, nuclear technology and material comes into more common use and diversion for weapons programs become easier to hide. It is an international arms race that is not built upon a cold war between a couple of super powers but many little cold and hot wars but dozens of countries saying “why not us”.
We went to war with Iraq to prevent weapons of mass destruction from falling into the hands of terrorists and yet the only weapons of mass destruction used or discovered in the war were our own. We talk about Iran destabilizing the middle east and the administration floats the notion of using nuclear weapons to destroy Iran’s nuclear weapons. That is the height of hypocrisy. The production of nuclear weapons is evil enough, but the actual use of these weapons can only be described as a total disregard for humanity.
Our policy should be to create a world free of nuclear weapons and we should be setting the example by taking the first step by dramatically reducing our insane stockpile of nuclear weapons. Our non-proliferation policy should be the same for our friends and our enemies. If the spread of nuclear weapons is bad it is bad regardless of which country intends to enter the nuclear club of death. Creating a world where all citizens can live free of war and oppression is the security we should be working towards, not a world where might makes right and where we view ourselves with real or imagined powers as the last remaining super power. We have a world in turmoil with ideologies and cultures in conflict. It is a world that demands dialogue, understanding and diplomacy. Tossing nuclear weapons into this mix works against the security that all of the world’s citizens should enjoy. Nuclear disarmament is the only long term answer to the threat these weapons hold over the world. It is a threat that not only impacts politics and the psyche of humanity but it also saps the budgets of countries big and small. It is a diversion of precious resources to produce weapons that only the insane could love.
Possession of nuclear weapons does not deter terrorist attacks and the very possession of nuclear weapons is more likely to lead to terrorism and nuclear proliferation. The selective approach of the US towards nuclear proliferation, condoning or perhaps even encouraging states like Israel and India in their illegal possession of nuclear weapons while going to war with Iraq on unfounded suspicions and saber rattling with Iran and North Korea only turns countries away from non-proliferation treaties and compliance. Launching preemptive wars based upon faulty intelligence data can only serve to destabilize the world and increase tensions. This results in even more countries thinking that they, too, need some nukes for protection.
Coupling our efforts to enforce non-proliferation agreements with continued multilateral disarmament negotiations could change the landscape. Disavowing the use of nuclear weapons to settle disputes might be a logical first step in changing the tenor of this dialog.

Here are some random thoughts on chamber dimensions as it relates to accuracy.
Neck Diameter: The chamber neck needs to fit the cartridge as tight as possible while still allowing for proper function and reliability. Typical neck clearances on production rifles are between 0.008" and 0.014". When brass is fired in a chamber this loose, the pressure forces it all the way out against the wall, leaving the bullet unsupported. In AR15 barrels, I like to see a minimum of 0.004", and not more than 0.008" of neck clearance. In benchrest guns, I like to see only 0.002" of neck clearance. One benefit of tighter chambers is that the brass does not get worked as much. Remember that when you blow the brass out during firing, you have to squeeze it back down in the reloading dies. the further it moves each time, the faster it work hardens, cracks and grows longer. One way you can measure your chamber's neck diameter is to measure a loaded round's neck diameter and then fire it in your chamber. now measure the fired case. Take fired case diameter and subtract the loaded case diameter. This gives you a good approximation of how much neck clearance you have. One thing to note is that the fired cases is usually a couple thousandths smaller than the chamber due to brass spring back.
Neck Concentricity: This is very important because the neck is responsible for holding the bullet while the bullet releases from the case mouth and into the throat and barrel. if you hold the bullet crooked, the bullet will be out of balance.
Neck Length: Most factory chambers have necks that are cut longer than the SAAMI specs require. This is done for liability reasons. By cutting the neck long, they do not have to worry about a handloader using brass that is longer than spec which would cause it to crimp against the bullet and raise chamber pressures to the point that the gun blew up. I have measured chambers that are from 0.050" to 0.090" longer than they need to be. Think about it this way: the bullet is sticking out the front of the case and into the throat, when the bullet leaves, there is now a ring of open space 1/16" long where the bullet is not supported by the case mouth (neck) or by the throat. This would not be a problem with long bullets, but short stubby ones would be free to float around a little more. This is not good. You can measure your individual chamber's length to determine what the maximum case length is in your gun. There are small neck length measuring tools available from Sinclairs. it is basically a little steel cylinder the diameter of a bullet that has a head on it the diameter of the neck. You take a case and trim it extra short, seat the measuring tool in this case and chamber it in the rifle. When it comes back out, simply measure the length. this is the absolute MAX safe length. you should trim your cases 0.010" or more shorter for safety. If you expand 221 cases, you will see that they end up about 1.350" or so, but most books show a spec of 1.400" in case length. Some reamer makers grind the chambering reamer for 1.450" max length. Quick math gives us 0.100" of clearance, way too much. I recommend a trim length between 1.380" and 1.390" in my 300-221 chambers as my reamer cuts a total length right at 1.400".
Throat Diameter: When the bullet begins down the barrel, the first thing it hits is the throat. If the bullet is not held in the center while it engraves into the throat, it will be slightly off center and out of balance. Typical production rifle throats can be 0.0030" to 0.0050" over the diameter of the bullet. The throat is responsible for aligning the bullet into the bore as it is engraved by the lands and grooves. the tighter the fit, the more accuracy you can expect. I get my reamers ground no more than 0.0010", and usually 0.0005" over bullet diameter. This ensures a nice bullet to barrel fit.
Throat length: The length of the throat probably has the least effect on accuracy, but it is still important to know what's happening here. Throat length is also known as freebore. Factory chambers are cut with long throats so that any weight of bullet, when loaded to SAAMI maximum lengths will fit easily into the throat. Weatherby actually cuts their throats longer, allowing the bullet to accelerate more before it hits the rifling. This is part of what allows them to run such high pressures. Generally, we want the throat to be as short as possible with the ammo we plan to use, but for practical reasons, the reamer makers grind the throats long enough to clear most bullets. The benchrest crowd goes to great lengths to get short throats so that they can seat their bullets into the rifling, or at least very close. Most people that are really into chamber work will tell you to have at least 0.025" to 0.050" of clearance between the bullet sitting in the chamber and the rifling (Throat). Throat erosion is what happens as the barrel has a lot of rounds fired through it. the throat generally gets longer, but it also grows slightly in diameter. Both of these degrade accuracy and are the reason a barrel is considered "Shot Out".
Muzzle Crown: The bullet is now all the way down the barrel and sticking most of the way out the front. As the bullet just leaves the barrel, it is basically uncorking the residual 5,000 to 10,000 PSI of gas pressure. It is very important that the crown is centered on the bore and square to the end of the barrel. if the muzzle were crooked, the bullet would let gas rush out of one side while the bullet was being released. This can cause the bullet to tip slightly sideways and throw it out of balance. Keep in mind that a 1:9 twist 223 barrel sending a 62gr bullet out at 2900 FPS is also spinning the bullet at about 230,000 RPM. If the bullet is out of balance, it is more difficult to fly to the same point of impact each time. Here is where target crowns come into play. Dished or 11degree crowns leave a nice path for the gas to escape from behind the bullet as it leaves the barrel. I like to cut a slightly tapered crown, using a lathe to pull the cutter from the bore outwards. This ensures that there is no burr left in the bore and that the muzzle is true to the bore. I do not like deeply recessed crowns. The gas is moving about 5 times faster than the bullet when it is released behind the bullet. The step in the recessed crown just causes the gas to bounce back towards the bullet. I feel that Muzzle brakes and recessed crowns are not good for ultimate accuracy, but when they are done correctly, there is not really any proof that they are bad for accuracy. I will thread barrels for muzzle brakes and cut recessed crowns upon request.
Chamber Gauging: If you request it at the time that you order your barrel, I can cut a chamber gauge for you with the same reamer. With a pair of dial calipers, you can use the gauge to properly adjust your sizing and seating dies. This will be a 2" long steel gauge with the same body, shoulder, neck and throat. You will find this gauge a life saver when working up loads to get the bullet as close to the lands as possible. This gauge will also serve as a standard to measure throat erosion against in the future, allowing you to keep track of the throat erosion on your barrel. I charge $50 for the custom chamber gauge to match your barrel.

I was one of the first Army CH-54A “Skycrane” pilots and deployed to Vietnam as part of the 1st Cavalry Division in 1965. I served with the Crane Company for one year and was one of a small group of pilots and enlisted men who helped pioneer the combat support role for this huge helicopter.
Colonel Smucker ordered me to Kirtland Air Force Base in Albuquerque, New Mexico to further research a means of bombing with a helicopter. Finally the Kirtland tem came up with a series of modifications so we could use drop tactics:
This was our crude but workable bomb sight and we mounted it in the aft pilot’s station, who would now become the bombardier. Two Crane pilots from Ft. Sill, Oklahoma, CWO Handley and Wilson, joined the team and we began to develop bombing tactics with deactivated bombs. After determining that a safe altitude of 6,000 ft above the terrain and 60 knots on a specific heading gave us the best chance of success, our bombardier, Wilson, would view the target through the drift meter. On his command the crew chief would hand drop a target missile with a smoke grenade in it.
Wilson observed this through the drift meter and once it hit he would pass on the necessary corrections to the pilot. For example, if the smoke grenade landed 3 grids to the left of target and 4 grids below the target, we would make a 360 turn. With these corrections in mind, Wilson would direct us for another run, sort of a Kentucky windage for Crane and a 10,000 pound bomb. Three smoke passes were made and on the fourth we dropped the bomb. We all assembled at Red Beach just north of Da Nang, Vietnam in September of 1968 and after briefing local commanders, we modified a Skycrane from the 478th Avn Company to become the first helicopter “bomber”.
Our first drop was west of Hue. The Commander wanted it place on top of a junle covered hill. We went through our procedure and when Wilson yelled “bombs away”, we pulled full power. We wanted all the altitude we could get as we were unsure of just how far the shrapnel from the bomb would travel, we certainly didn’t want to shoot ourselves down. We circled back and observed our work, feeling pretty confident that any Vietcong in the area would have a bad headache and rigging in their ears.
Accuracy was and continued to be the problem. I believe we missed that hilltop by 120 meters. You can imagine trying to drop a marble into a can from three stories up. Eventually, we dropped three more bombs, all near the western side of the DMZ, in late September or early October.
Only one, and it fell on a hillside, was usable as an LZ. I went into this LZ to retrieve a downed helicopter a few days later and can vouch that the bomb worked as advertised. With the smart bombs of today, clearing an LZ should be much simpler.
A week or so after dropping the bombs, Hanoi Hanna (the VC’s Tokyo Rose) labeled us as was criminals for introducing a new weapon into the war and read our names over the Hanoi radio. There was a security leak somewhere. Anyway, that finished the Army phase of the project. The Air Force continued to test drop 10,000 pound bombs from the back of C-130s. I am not sure of their degree of success.
Wilson and I stayed to finish our year in Vietnam with the 478th Aviation Company. Handley returned to Ft Sill, Oklahoma. As for the CH-54 Skycrane bomber, it was returned to standard operational configuration and the bomb sight and cradle was crated up and left in the supply room, never used again, to the best of my knowledge.
After spending 28 years in the Army, Jim Oden retired in 1973. He served in the enlisted, commissioned, and Warrant Officer corps, retiring as a Chief Warrant Officer. He was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross, Bronze Star of Valor, Purple Heart (Korea), and air medals. He and his wife Rae, reside in Rogers, Arkansas.

In 1968, I was home preparing for my second tour to Vietnam when I was directed to return to Ft. Rucker, Alabama for a mission that could not be discussed over the phone.
Arriving at Ft. Rucker, CW3 “Bo” Brown and I were assigned to a CH-54 and crew and told to fly to Ft. Benning, Georgia for further instructions. At Ft. Benning, we learned that we were the Army part of a joint Army-Air Force effort to use surplus 10,000 pound bombs to blow instant helicopter landing zones (LZs) in the jungles of Vietnam.
These bombs (minus their fins), originally made for the B-36 bomber, were stored in the Pueblo Ordnance Depot, Pueblo, Colorado and would be available for the project.
A USAF Colonel Smucker was director of the project. He selected a “Vietnam like” tree covered test site and under his direction the Air Force had moved a 10,000 pound bomb from Pueblo and built a tripod stand for it to fit into so that it would explode about three feet above the ground. Upon detonation, the trees would be knocked down, without creating a crater.
Initially, the tactics were to hover over the area, lower the bomb, utilizing the Crane’s 100 ft cable, release the hook and fly away and detonate it by remote control, which we did. Our test LZ was large enough for a UH-1 Huey to land an engineer tem with chain saws which cleared a reasonable large LZ in quick order.
In the debriefing, as encouraging as the results were, we discussed the safety aspects of flying a “hot” bomb over enemy terrain, hovering to lower it onto target, the possibility of it getting “hung-up” in the triple canopy jungle and the chances of a radio transmission prematurely detonating the bomb. I recommended against this procedure.

The organisations promoting ‘Italia, ripensaci’ (an initiative launched by Rete Italiana Pace Disarmo – Italian Peace and Disarmament Network – and Senzatomica as partners of the International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons) welcome the unanimous approval at the Foreign Affairs Committee of the Chamber of Deputies of a Resolution on nuclear disarmament. This important vote comes at a time when the NATO summit in Vilnius is being held to address the issue of nuclear weapons, for which our organisations thank the MPs who worked on the text, in particular the first proposer Hon. Laura Boldrini, and decided to approve it without any dissenting votes.
This is a document that, while still far from our goal of Italy’s adherence to the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons TPNW, opens up important prospects for our country and above all opens up the opportunity to take concrete steps in that direction. The operative part of the Resolution commits the Government to act towards the goal of a world free of nuclear weapons, in particular by evaluating Italy’s possible participation as an observer country at the next Conference of States Parties to the TPNW Treaty to be held in the autumn in New York. But the work is not over yet: this possibility had already been envisaged with a similar Resolution voted in 2022, but the Italian government had not taken it up. Therefore, the Italian Network for Peace and Disarmament and Senzatomica will continue their advocacy action in 2023 so that Italy decides to take part in the Conference, and the unanimous Resolution of the Chamber of Deputies shows how the political forces also expect this step. In this sense, and as the text itself points out, it will be crucial to begin positive comparisons and discussions with the allied countries (both within the EU and NATO) that last year participated in the first Conference of States Parties TPWN in Vienna: it is crucial that Italy – which continues to reiterate its desire to contribute to a world free of nuclear weapons – gets involved at the tables that discuss this important issue.
Equally relevant is the request to the Government to evaluate possible actions to approximate some of the contents of the TPNW Treaty, particularly with regard to “Victim Assistance and Environmental Remediation”, as provided for in Article 6 of the same Treaty. In this sense, the organisations of ‘Italy, think again’ will request meetings with the competent Ministries to identify areas of intervention and define consequent projects. Finally, it is important that the Resolution asks the government to include the issue of nuclear disarmament and non-proliferation in the programme of the Italian G7 Presidency in 2024.
The passing of the resolution coincided with the holding of the NATO Summit in Vilnius at which the leaders of the member states, meeting at a time of unprecedented nuclear risk, decided not to take any action to reduce nuclear dangers but, on the contrary, issued a communiqué continuing to support the use of nuclear weapons. The alliance emphasised the risks posed by Russia’s nuclear weapons, while continuing to reiterate the centrality of its nuclear deterrent and nuclear sharing agreements (in which Italy is also involved). The Summit unfortunately reiterated NATO’s criticism of the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons, the only real progress on nuclear disarmament in decades, was also unfortunately reiterated, demonstrating a real concern about the Treaty’s power to stigmatise and eliminate nuclear weapons. The Vilnius NATO Summit could have been an opportunity for member states to demonstrate a commitment to sustain peace and security by reducing the unacceptably high level of nuclear risk. As nuclear weapon states, US nuclear weapon states and states that accept others’ use of nuclear weapons for their own benefit would have the power to agree to end these dangerous practices but chose to issue a communiqué that continues to support the existence of nuclear arsenals.
The Italian Peace and Disarmament Network and Senzatomica, together with all the organisations that support ‘Italy, think again’, demand that the Italian government does not fall into line with a political choice that, as is evident from decades of stalemate, will never lead to the complete nuclear disarmament evoked as an objective by all but which can only be achieved through the concrete steps envisaged by the ‘Vienna Action Plan’ linked to the TPNW. | weapons_science |

How quiet does a silencer make a gunshot?
Live tests by independent reviewers of numerous commercially available suppressors find that even low-power, unsuppressed .
22 LR handguns produce gunshots over 160 decibels.
A recent study of various suppressors reported peak sound pressure level reductions between 17 dB and 24 dB..
What is the quietest gun with a silencer?
The De Lisle carbine or De Lisle Commando carbine was a British firearm used during World War II that was designed with an integrated suppressor. That, combined with its use of subsonic ammunition, made it extremely quiet in action, possibly one of the quietest firearms ever made.
What’s the difference between a suppressor and silencer?
What Is The Difference Between Silencers And Suppressors? Some say a silencer is for reducing the sound, while a suppressor is more for eliminating muzzle flash. A suppressor does reduce some of the sound though.
Why is my AR 15 so loud?
Most ARs are loud due to the common 16″ barrel not being long enough for a complete burn of the gunpowder, resulting in a larger fireball and concussion at the muzzle. If you think normal ARs are bad, you don’t want to be around an unsuppressed SBR with a muzzle brake.
Is a 556 suppressor worth it?
It’s important to mention is that the 5.56 is a supersonic bullet. This is one of the worst rounds to suppress because it naturally breaks the sound barrier, so there will always be a loud “crack” (think of a whip). Therefore, it isn’t generally worth it to get a 5.56 specific suppressor.
How loud is a 9mm with a silencer?
attests their suppressors reduce the sound pressure of a 9mm gunshot to anywhere from 125.7 dB to 131.5 dB, depending on the model. … Since the typical gunshot produces about 160 dB of noise, that means a suppressor will still lower the noise to 130 dB.
Can you fit a silencer to a revolver?
The question of whether you can put a suppressor or silencer on a revolver is a loaded one that has a simple answer as well as a few exceptions to the rule. … So, while you can thread the barrel of a revolver and attach a suppressor to it, the barrel-cylinder gap is still going to allow gas, and thus noise, to escape.
Which states allow silencers?
Currently, the following 42 states allow private ownership of suppressors: AL, AK, AZ, AR, CO, CT, FL, GA, ID, IN, IA, KS, KY, LA, ME, MD, MI, MN, MS, MO, MT, NE, NV, NH, NM, NC, ND, OH, OK, OR, PA, SC, SD, TN, TX, UT, VT, VA, WA, WV, WI, WY.
What is the best caliber for a suppressor?
SILENCER SATURDAY #43: Top 5 Best Rounds To Suppress22LR. An obvious choice in my opinion, this rimfire cartridge is universally accepted as being excellent for suppression. … 300BLK. Another obvious choice, 300AAC Blackout is a fantastic round to suppress. … 9mm. Go ahead and flame me, but 9mm is the best handgun caliber on the planet. … 4. .38Spc/. 357Mag. … 5. . 223/5.56.
Do silencers actually silence a gun?
Myth: Gun silencers make guns nearly silent. “Silencers”, also known as “suppressors”, on guns don’t make them anywhere near silent. Silencers primarily only suppress the noise due to the pressure wave from the rapidly expanding propellant gases. This is only a portion of what makes a gunshot loud.
Does a gun silencer slow down the bullet?
Suppressors themselves don’t slow the bullet down (as stated multiple times), but the type of bullet commonly used with suppressors is different from other ammo. … This slows the bullet down enough that it doesn’t exceed the speed of sound, causing a sonic boom and negating the effect of the suppressor.
What silencer do Navy SEALs use?
Most notably, designers replaced the original boxy suppressor. Knights Armament Company supplied a more traditionally shaped device with fixed baffles like the Qual-A-Tech silencer. Most of the new weapons, finally dubbed the MK-23, went to the SEALs.
What happens to my suppressor when I die?
After your death, the silencer would pass into the possession of your co-trustee(s). … If your co-trustee(s) is/are no longer living, the silencer will be passed onto the beneficiary.
Do Navy SEALs keep their weapons?
“As it currently stands, following a deployment, a SEAL will have his weapon taken from him, which has been fine-tuned to certain specifications, and given to a different operator to use.
Do silencers on guns really work?
Although silencers can greatly reduce the noise of a firearms, they do not eliminate the sound of a gunshot completely. … The main benefit of silencers isn’t in the element of surprise, but in helping to reduce hearing damage.
How much does a silencer cost?
You will pay easily as much for a silencer as you do for a pistol, they usually run between 400 to well over a 1000 bucks. You may be able to find a used one for 200 to 300 dollars.
Do I have to carry my tax stamp with my suppressor?
Short answer: No. Long answer: The attorney general, or his designee, meaning an ATF agent, can require the owner of a NFA item (suppressor, short barreled rifle, short barreled shotgun, machinegun) to show proof of registration, i.e. the tax stamp. 26 U.S. Code § 5841(e).

Does a silencer count as barrel length?
I believe the barrel is the barrel, flash hiders/brakes and suppressors are accessories. Since they dont act on a bullet the same way a barrel does, they arent considered part of the barrel. Nope. Long flash hiders to extend overall barrel length are very common and quite legal.

Averaging out a couple of the leading suppressors in the industry you see an average noise level of around 136 db with a suppressor attached. Which is a significant reduction.
Can you put a silencer on a 9mm?
Yes, you can most definitely suppress a 9mm. While handgun and pistol suppression is less popular than say, suppressing a hunting rifle, it is still a great option. If you’re using it for home defense, a pistol suppressor greatly reduces the deafening sound of a gun going off indoors.
Are handguns louder than rifles?
Handguns can be louder than rifles because of the amount of energy and how it is released in relation to the shorter barrel. In rifles, most of the gun powder’s energy is depleted by the time the bullet reaches the muzzle (sometimes) making the report less intense compared to an identical round fired in a handgun.
Can my wife use my suppressor?

Why don t snipers use silencers?
Snipers don’t use silencers because their rounds are supersonic. Their target is dead before the sound ever gets there. Because silencers muffle and slow the bullet, which means it will be significantly less accurate over long range.
Can I let someone shoot my suppressor?
The NFA restricts transfers of weapons. Normally we would not think of loaning a firearms or placing it in the hands of another person as a transfer, but under a more complete analysis, letting someone else use your silencer or other NFA firearm, is in fact a transfer and a violation of the National Firearms Act.
Do Special Forces use silencers?
Snipers and special operations personnel have used suppressors for decades. More recently, the Marines’ 2nd Reconnaissance Battalion, 2nd Light Armored Reconnaissance Battalion and some line platoons with combat engineer units have fielded suppressors, Wade, a former scout sniper, said.
Can you put a silencer on a 22?
22 bolt actions can even be turned into viable suppressor platforms. Because they tend to be chambered for . 22 Short/Long/Long Rifle they offer great benefits for choosing different types of subsonic rounds. | weapons_science |

The DYE Boomstick is probably the most widely used Three-piece barrel. The idea behind using two materials in constructing the Three-piece barrel is to give the paintball the advantage of lower friction upon initial acceleration by using stainless steel and then using a ported aluminum tip to decrease the overall weight and muffle the guns sound output.
Friction is defined as the resistance to motion between two objects. Friction, as it applies to paintball barrels, is the resistance placed on the paintball by contacting the inner surface of the barrel. Friction is typically your enemy when choosing a paintball barrel. Barrel materials with higher amounts of friction translate into reduced gas efficiency and increased chances for ball breaks. The only time you would want to create more friction than necessary is when you're using a barrel system like the Tippmann Flatline that relies on barrel friction to place back spin on the ball. The extra friction along with a curved barrel places backspin on the paintball and increases the range a paintball will travel before contacting the ground.
The next factor to consider is barrel length. The fact basically dispels the myth that a longer barrel adds more range to your gun. You can't expect a 16" barrel to outrange a similar 12". After the ball has traveled the first 7 - 10" of the barrel it will generally begin to decelerate. Yes, in many cases, a paintball will actually begin to lose velocity as it progresses further down the barrel. The Airgun Designs article effectively explains that a 14" Boomstick is equivalent to an 8" barrel with 6" of silencer added onto it. Just like a real gun, the silencer tip doesn't add significantly to the muzzle velocity or accuracy, it does however make the gun quieter.
Question: "Doesn't a 24 barrel make your gun shoot further than a 12?"Answer: Yes, it will shoot exactly 12" further from the guns chamber. A red paintball leaves a 14" barrel at 300 fps. A blue paintball leaves a 10" barrel, at the same trajectory and velocity (feet per second), both of the paintballs will land exactly the same distance away from the barrel. This, of course, bars all oddities like wind and other objects that may be in the way. So, unless you are using a barrel system like the Tippmann Flatline that utilizes backspin to increase range, you can't expect a 24" barrel to shoot any further than a 12" barrel if both barrels have the same initial muzzle velocity.
There are a few other advantages to having a longer barrel such as being able to aim along it easier and poke it through brush, but the biggest advantage is the ability to reduce noise levels via porting.
So what exactly does porting do? Well, barrel ports are basically holes drilled from the inside of the barrel to the outside. Portings main role is to reduce overall noise levels by venting excess air pressure behind a paintball before the paintball leaves the barrel. Well, I have no real way to test an accuracy difference with or without porting until I can get my hands on a custom made freak barrel tip with no porting in it. However, as a general guideline, porting decreases gas efficiency as well as noise. As air escapes through the ports, instead of continuing to push the ball down the barrel, it vents air to the outside increasing the amount of air needed to accelerate a paintball to 300fps, thus reducing gas efficiency. Having a barrel with lots of ports, as opposed to a non-ported barrel, can significantly reduce most guns noise.
Now, on to accuracy. Accuracy is determined by a combination of a few things. Paint to barrel match, paint consistency, shot per shot velocity consistency, and the stability of the shooting platform. In my opinion, the paint to barrel match is the most important factor. The paint to barrel match determines how much air your gun will use per shot and can increase or decrease the number of barrel breaks. The only true solution to finding the right paint to barrel match every time you change paint is to use Smart Parts Freak barrel system or else you can buy several different barrels, all with different bore sizes. The Freak barrel system uses interchangeable backs so you can fit your barrels bore to almost any size of paint. To test your paint to barrel match, simply put a paintball in the back of your barrel and try to blow the ball out. If you can blow it out without turning blue in the face then it isn't too tight. If your paintballs roll out of your barrel then your barrels bore is too large. A snug paint to barrel match will maximize your guns accuracy and gas efficiency.
Click here to contact us and we will help you find the right size paint to fit your barrel, or vice versa.
Paint consistency can also play a big part in your guns accuracy. I have seen bags of fresh paint that contain balls that span 3 different bore sizes. Try many different kinds of paint until you find the paint that works best with your barrel setup and your budget. Not all paints are created equal. In general, I have found that PMI Premium, RP Marbalizer, and RP All-Star paints seem to have the best consistency. Don't expect you buy a case of 2000 paintballs for $40 (or get a "free" case of paint with a purchase) and still get high quality, well rounded paint.
The vertical (up and down) accuracy of your gun is partly determined by your paint and barrel match, but also determined by the consistent pressure delivery of your air system. Nice air tanks like the Max-Flow and Conquest compressed air tanks that use regulators to stabilize pressure will increase the consistency of the pressure going into your gun thereby helping to stabilize your shot per shot velocity.
So, in conclusion.... One barrel isn't necessarily better than another. Just like buying a marker, you need to find a barrel that fits your playing style and budget. I personally shoot a 12" mostly unported, one-piece, aluminum barrel during tournaments and a 14" two piece, heavily ported barrel during woods games. I chose the 12" because of its self cleaning properties. I use the 14" in the woods because of its added noise reduction. | weapons_science |

The UN Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons (the “UN Treaty”) is the first multilateral nuclear disarmament Treaty to be concluded in more than 20 years. There were 122 nations who voted in favor of the Treaty. Vanuatu was amongst the first countries to sign the UN Treaty in 2017 during the UN General Assembly in New York, Minister Regenvanu, said in his explanatory notes in parliament.
He said this UN Treaty or the Nuclear Weapons Ban Treaty is the first legally binding international agreement to comprehensively prohibited nuclear weapons with the goal of leading towards their total elimination. The Nuclear Weapons Ban Treaty, according to its proponents, will constitute an “ unambiguous political commitment” to achieve and maintain a nuclear-weapon-free world. However, unlike a comprehensive nuclear weapons, it was not intended to contain all of the legal and technical measures required to reach the point of elimination. Such provisions will instead be the subject of subsequent negotiations, allowing the initial agreement to be concluded relatively quickly and, if necessary, without the involvement of nuclear -armed nations.
Minister Regenvanu expounded that the proponents of the Nuclear Weapon Ban Treaty believe that it will help “stigmatize” nuclear weapons, and serve as a “catalyst” for elimination. Around two-thirds of the world od the world’s nations have pledged to work together “ to fill the legal gap” in the existing international regime governing nuclear weapons, and view a Nuclear Weapon Ban Treaty as one option for achieving this.
He said Vanuatu is a non-nuclear weapon State and is party to numerous disarmament Treaties and Conventions. These include; The South Pacific Nuclear Weapon Free Zone (The Raratonga Treaty), The Biological and Toxin Weapon Convention (BWC), The Mine Ban Treaty, The Arms Trade Treaty, The Comprehensive Nuclear-Test Ban Treaty (CTBT), The Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT).
Minister Regenvanu said, however, Vanuatu needs to address the total elimination of nuclear weapons through prohibition by ratifying this UN Treaty.
At the moment, he said, the UN Treaty has still not entered into force, once 50 countries ratify or accede to the UN Treaty then it will come into force.
During discussions on the principles of the Bill, the Leader of the Opposition Ishmael Kalsakau, supported by other Opposition and Government MPs, congratulated Minister Regenvanu, for introducing the Bill to be passed by Parliament. Opposition Leader Ishmael Kalsakau, said Vanuatu came out clear right after independence to express its opposition to the world on the nuclear weapons use.
Other MPs gave examples of Vanuatu opposing Nuclear Weapons by protests it expressed over the past years on Moruroa atoll nuclear testing by France. | weapons_science |

SMS Prinz Heinrich was a unique German armored cruiser built at the turn of the 20th century for the German Kaiserliche Marine (Imperial Navy), named after Kaiser Wilhelm II's younger brother Prince Heinrich. The second vessel of that type built in Germany, Prinz Heinrich was constructed at the Kaiserliche Werft (Imperial Shipyard) in Kiel, being laid down in December 1898, launched in March 1900, and commissioned in March 1902. Prinz Heinrich's design was a modification of the previous armored cruiser, Fürst Bismarck, and traded a smaller main battery and thinner armor for higher speed. All subsequent German armored cruisers were incremental developments of Prinz Heinrich.
Prinz Heinrich served with the German fleet in home waters for just four years, from 1902 to 1906, when she was withdrawn from front-line service. During this period, she served as the flagship of the fleet's scouting forces, and she was primarily occupied with fleet training. The ship was out of service from early 1906 to mid-1908, when she was reactivated for use as a gunnery training ship, a role she filled until late 1912. Prinz Heinrich underwent modernization and conversion into a dedicated training ship in 1914, and the work was completed just before the outbreak of World War I in July that year.
After the outbreak of war, the ship was reactivated for active service, initially with III Scouting Group with the High Seas Fleet. Prinz Heinrich was used for coastal defense in the North Sea and she participated in the fleet sortie that supported the Raid on Scarborough, Hartlepool and Whitby in December 1914. After the naval command determined that Prinz Heinrich was too old to serve in the North Sea against the powerful British Royal Navy, she was transferred to the Baltic Sea in early 1915. She supported offensive minelaying operations and patrolled the central Baltic for Russian forces, but never encountered hostile forces. She provided gunfire support during the attack on Libau in May 1915 and shelled Russian positions during the Battle of the Gulf of Riga in August. In the face of severe crew shortages in late 1915, Prinz Heinrich had her crew reduced and was ultimately decommissioned and disarmed in March 1916. She thereafter served in a variety of secondary roles for the rest of the war, before being broken up in 1920.
Prinz Heinrich, the second armored cruiser built in Germany, was authorized under the 1898 Naval Law, the first naval construction program begun under the direction of Alfred von Tirpitz, the State Secretary of the Reichsmarineamt (Imperial Naval Office). The design for Prinz Heinrich was prepared in the late 1890s while construction of the first vessel, Fürst Bismarck, was still underway. Some older naval historians, including Hugh Lyon and John Taylor, writing in 1979 and 1969, respectively, have stated that Prinz Heinrich was intended for overseas service, but Aidan Dodson points out that the ship's hull was not sheathed with wood and copper or zinc layers, which would have been necessary for any ship deployed overseas where shipyard facilities would not be readily available. Dodson also noted that the ship never actually went abroad on an extended deployment.
The design staff based the new vessel on the basic design of Fürst Bismarck, but for budgetary reasons the new ship's size was reduced by about 1,500 metric tons (1,500 long tons). Weight reduction was achieved in part by thinning the ship's armor layout, though advances in steel technology meant this was not actually a compromise and her armor layout was in fact significantly more effective than Fürst Bismarck's. Krupp had recently developed cemented armor plate, which was considerably stronger than earlier Harvey armor, so less of it could be used to achieve the same level of protection. In addition, the belt could be made taller, extending up to the main deck level, which protected more of the ship's interior. The ship's deck armor sloped down on the sides, where it was connected to the lower edge of the belt, which considerably strengthened the protection system by providing another layer of armor that would need to be penetrated before the ship's vitals could be damaged.
The armament was also significantly reduced to save weight and cost, from four heavy guns in two twin-gun turrets to two guns, each in single turrets; she also received two fewer secondary guns compared to Fürst Bismarck. But rather than spreading the secondary battery along the length of the hull in casemates and sponsons, they were concentrated in a battery amidships, which reduced the amount of the hull that needed to be protected with armor, further saving weight and allowing thicker armor to be concentrated in the battery. Further weight savings were achieved by adopting a smaller superstructure and discarding heavy military masts in favor of lighter pole masts. Her engines, however, were some 2,000 metric horsepower (2,000 ihp) more powerful, which produced a faster vessel.
The ship proved to be an influential design, and all subsequent German armored cruisers were developments of Prinz Heinrich. In fact, the armor layout pioneered in Prinz Heinrich provided the basis of all German capital ships designed over the next forty years, including the final battleships of the Bismarck and H-classes. Nevertheless, she was not without critics; Vizeadmiral (VAdm—Vice Admiral) Albert Hopman referred to the ship as "cheap, but bad" in his memoirs Logbuch eines Seeoffiziers (Log of a Sea Officer). The naval historians Hans Hildebrand, Albert Röhr, and Hans-Otto Steinmetz regard Hopman's criticism as an exaggeration, pointing out that Prinz Heinrich compared well to foreign contemporaries like the French Desaix, the Russian Bayan, and the Italian Giuseppe Garibaldi, though she was inferior to British designs. She nevertheless spent only four years in active service in peacetime before being replaced with newer, more powerful cruisers.
Dimensions and machinery
Prinz Heinrich was 124.9 meters (410 ft) long at the waterline and 126.5 m (415 ft) overall. She had a beam of 19.6 m (64 ft) and a draft of 7.65 m (25.1 ft) forward and 8.07 m (26.5 ft) aft. The ship displaced 8,887 metric tons (8,747 long tons; 9,796 short tons) as built, and 9,806 t (9,651 long tons; 10,809 short tons) at full load. The hull was constructed with transverse and longitudinal steel frames, and incorporated thirteen watertight compartments and a double bottom that extended for 57 percent of the length of the ship. The German navy considered the ship to be a good sea boat with gentle motion, though she suffered from severe roll. Her transverse metacentric height was .731 m (2 ft 4.8 in). Prinz Heinrich was crewed by 35 officers and 532 enlisted men. For the duration of her career as the second command flagship of the Cruiser Division, the standard crew was augmented by an additional nine officers and 44 enlisted men. She carried a number of smaller vessels, including two picket boats, a launch, a pinnace, two cutters, two yawls, and two dinghies.
The ship was propelled by three vertical 4-cylinder triple expansion engines; the center shaft drove a four-bladed screw 4.28 m (14 ft) in diameter while the two outer shafts drove 4.65-meter (15.3 ft) wide four-bladed screws. Fourteen Dürr water-tube boilers, produced by Düsseldorf-Ratinger Röhrenkesselfabrik, supplied steam to the engines at pressures up to 15 standard atmospheres (1,500 kPa). The boilers were ducted into two funnels amidships. The propulsion system was rated at 15,000 indicated horsepower (11,000 kW) and gave the ship a top speed of 20 knots (37 km/h; 23 mph), though on sea trials, Prinz Heinrich's engines reached 15,694 ihp (11,703 kW) but a top speed of only 19.9 kn (36.9 km/h; 22.9 mph). She was designed to carry 900 t (890 long tons; 990 short tons) of coal, though additional storage allowed up to 1,590 t (1,560 long tons; 1,750 short tons). This enabled a maximum range of 2,290 nautical miles (4,240 km; 2,640 mi) at a speed of 18 kn (33 km/h; 21 mph) and 4,580 nmi (8,480 km; 5,270 mi) at a cruising speed of 10 kn (19 km/h; 12 mph).
Prinz Heinrich was armed with a variety of weapons. Her primary armament consisted of two 24 cm (9.4 in) SK L/40 quick-firing guns mounted in single turrets,[a] one on either end of the superstructure. These guns were supplied with 75 rounds each; they could depress to −4° and elevate to 30°, which enabled a maximum range of 16,900 m (18,500 yd). The guns fired a 140 kg (310 lb) round at a muzzle velocity of 835 m (2,740 ft) per second. A secondary battery of ten 15 cm (5.9 in) SK L/40 quick-firing guns rounded out her offensive armament. Six of these guns were mounted in amidships casemates on either side of the vessel, and the remaining four were mounted in turrets in the ship's hull above the casemates. These guns were supplied with 120 rounds each. The shells weighed 40 kg (88 lb) and were fired at a muzzle velocity of 800 m (2,600 ft) per second. The guns could elevate to 25° for a maximum range of 13,700 m (15,000 yd).
The cruiser carried ten 8.8 cm (3.5 in) SK L/30 quick-firing guns for defense against torpedo boats. Each of these guns was supplied with 250 shells. The shells weighed 7 kg (15 lb) and were fired at a muzzle velocity of 670 m (2,200 ft) per second. This enabled a maximum range of 7,300 m (8,000 yd) at an elevation of 20°. The ship's gun armament was rounded out by four autocannons, though these were subsequently removed. The ship was also fitted with four 45 cm (17.7 in) torpedo tubes. One was mounted on the stern in a swivel mount, one was mounted submerged in the bow, and one was placed submerged in the hull on either side abreast of the forward gun turret.
Prinz Heinrich was protected by Krupp armor. Her armor belt was 100 millimeters (3.9 in) thick in the central citadel of the ship, which protected the ammunition magazines, machinery spaces, and other vital areas of the cruiser. The belt was reduced to 80 mm (3.1 in) on either end of the main belt, and the bow and stern were unarmored. The entire length of the belt was backed by equal thicknesses of teak planks. The armored deck was 35 to 40 mm (1.4 to 1.6 in) thick and was connected to the belt by 50 mm (2 in) thick sloped armor on the broadside. The forward conning tower had 150 mm (5.9 in) thick sides and a 30 mm (1.2 in) thick roof. The aft conning tower was much less thoroughly protected; it was covered by only 12 mm (0.47 in) of steel plating. The main battery gun turrets had 150 mm-thick sides and 30 mm-thick roofs. The 15 cm gun turrets had 100 mm-thick armor, while the casemated weapons were protected by 70 mm (2.8 in) gun shields. The casemates themselves were armored with 100 mm worth of steel plating.
Prinz Heinrich was laid down on 1 December 1898 at the Kaiserliche Werft (Imperial Shipyard) in Kiel. She was launched on 22 March 1900, when she was christened by Princess Heinrich of Prussia; the ship's namesake, her husband Prince Heinrich of Prussia, was present at the ceremony, and the Generalinspekteur der Marine (General Inspector of the Navy), Admiral Hans von Koester, gave a speech. The ship was completed just under two years later, on 11 March 1902. She then began sea trials that lasted until June, at which point she joined the reconnaissance forces attached to I Squadron. She took part in the training activities in the squadron, including a training cruise in Norwegian waters from 8 to 20 July. In August, she escorted Kaiser Wilhelm II aboard his yacht Hohenzollern during a trip to meet Czar Nicholas II of Russia in Reval. Prinz Heinrich next took part in fleet training in August and September, where she served as the flagship of II Scouting Group, with included the light cruisers Niobe and Nymphe. After the conclusion of the maneuvers on 18 September, the pre-dreadnought battleship Kurfürst Friedrich Wilhelm was decommissioned for maintenance; the ship had been serving as the flagship of Konteradmiral (KAdm—Rear Admiral) Curt von Prittwitz und Gaffron, the deputy commander of the squadron. While the ship was out of service, Prittwitz und Gaffron transferred to Prinz Heinrich, though he remained there only briefly before he was replaced by KAdm Ludwig Borckenhagen on 1 October. Prinz Heinrich and the rest of the squadron ended the year with a winter training cruise, during which she tried to pull the new battleship Wittelsbach free on 17 December after she ran aground in the Great Belt.
The 1900 Naval Law created the position of Commander of Scouting Forces, and Borckenhagen became the first person to fill the role. He therefore remained aboard Prinz Heinrich, which became the flagship of the Reconnaissance Force on 1 March 1903. Prinz Heinrich, the protected cruiser Victoria Louise, and the light cruisers Amazone and Ariadne conducted training maneuvers beginning in April. On 12 April, they were joined by the light cruiser Medusa; by 2 May they had also been joined by the light cruisers Frauenlob and Niobe. The ships took part in the autumn fleet maneuvers in August and September, after which Borckenhagen was replaced by KAdm Gustav Schmidt. Prinz Heinrich participated in the fleet training activities of 1903, which included a visit to Spain from 7 May to 10 August. During the cruise, she stayed in Vigo, Spain from 20 to 30 May. After returning to Germany, the fleet then conducted its annual training exercises, which concluded on 22 September. On 25 January 1904, Prinz Heinrich went to help the Norwegian town of Ålesund in the aftermath of a fire that had caused extensive destruction. In mid-1904, the new armored cruiser Friedrich Carl joined the Reconnaissance Force. The typical autumn maneuvers took place in August and September, during which Prinz Heinrich won the Kaiser's Schiesspreis (Shooting Prize) for excellent accuracy for large cruisers. On 3 December, Schmidt transferred his flag to Friedrich Carl.
The year 1905 passed without incident, following the same routine as previous years. From 11 March to 20 June, Prinz Heinrich again served as Schmidt's flagship, as Friedrich Carl was occupied with escorting Hohenzollern on a trip abroad. In early July, Prinz Heinrich experimented with a new coaling apparatus; further tests were made with it in November and February 1906. She visited Uddevalla and Södertälje in Sweden in mid-1905. She had another stint as flagship from 10 to 26 August while Friedrich Carl was in dry dock for maintenance. On 1 October, the position of Deputy Commander of Scouting Forces was created, and Prinz Heinrich's commander, Kapitän zur See (KzS—Captain at Sea) Raimund Winkler became the first to fill the role. In March 1906, the ship was removed from the reconnaissance forces, her place having been taken by Friedrich Carl, which had in turn been replaced by the new armored cruiser Yorck. By this time, Prinz Heinrich had spent just four years on active service with the fleet.
Prinz Heinrich spent two years in reserve when she was reactivated on 15 May 1908 to replace the old gunnery training ship Mars. She went to Sonderburg on 22 June, where the Naval Artillery Inspectorate was located. Over the next four years, Prinz Heinrich largely remained in port where she trained gunners for the fleet until she was replaced by the armored cruiser Prinz Adalbert in October 1912. Prinz Heinrich was decommissioned again on 31 October; a year later, in November 1913, the Reichsmarineamt began exploring the possibility of converting the ship into a dedicated training vessel, and the naval command decided that it should still be possible to use the vessel as a warship in the event of an emergency. In early 1914, Prinz Heinrich went into dry dock at the Kaiserliche Werft in Kiel for the conversion. The arrangement of the searchlights was modified, the superstructure deck bulwark was removed, and the masts were modernized. Conversion work was completed just before the outbreak of World War I in July 1914.
World War I
Following the wave of declarations of war between the major European powers at the end of July and early August, Britain declared war on Germany on 5 August. Prinz Heinrich was reactivated for wartime service the same day, and she then went into the shipyard in Kiel for preparation work. She was then assigned to the defenses of the port in advance of an expected British attack on Kiel on 25–26 September. When that failed to materialize, Prinz Heinrich was assigned to III Scouting Group, part of the High Seas Fleet. From 8 November to 14 April 1915, Prinz Heinrich was primarily occupied with guard duty in the Jade Bay and the river Ems. During this period, she participated in the second major German offensive in the North Sea, the operation to bombard Hartlepool on 15–16 December 1914. Prinz Heinrich, along with Roon and a flotilla of torpedo boats, was assigned to the van of the High Seas Fleet, commanded by Admiral Friedrich von Ingenohl. The main fleet was providing distant cover to Rear Admiral Franz von Hipper's battlecruisers, which were conducting the bombardment. During the night of the 15th, the German battle fleet of some twelve dreadnoughts and eight pre-dreadnoughts came to within 10 nmi (19 km; 12 mi) of an isolated squadron of six British battleships. However, skirmishes between the rival destroyer screens in the darkness convinced von Ingenohl that he was faced with the entire Grand Fleet. Under orders from Kaiser Wilhelm II to avoid risking the fleet unnecessarily, von Ingenohl broke off the engagement and turned the battle fleet back toward Germany.
After the operation, it was determined that the twelve-year-old Prinz Heinrich had no place in operations against the powerful British Grand Fleet. Accordingly, on 12 April 1915, III Scouting Group was detached from the High Seas Fleet and the ships were transferred to the Baltic Sea to operate against the Russian Baltic Fleet. On 15 April, the ships arrived in Kiel, where they came under command of then-KAdm Hopman, the commander of scouting forces in the Baltic. Hopman was then in the process of planning a major attack on Libau in conjunction with an attempt by the German Army to seize the city. The attack took place on 7 May, and consisted of Prinz Heinrich, Roon, and Prinz Adalbert, the elderly coast defense ship Beowulf, and the light cruisers Augsburg, Thetis, and Lübeck. They were escorted by a number of destroyers, torpedo boats, and minesweepers. The IV Scouting Group of the High Seas Fleet was detached from the North Sea to provide cover for the operation. The bombardment went as planned, though the destroyer V107 struck a mine in Libau's harbor, which blew off her bow and destroyed the ship. German ground forces were successful in their assault however, and took the city.
Prinz Heinrich supported a minelaying operation off the coast of Finland over the course of 23–26 May. From 3 to 5 June, Prinz Heinrich participated in a sortie into the Gulf of Finland. She supported another minelaying operation from 20 to 23 June. On 1 July, the minelayer SMS Albatross, escorted by the cruisers Roon, Augsburg, and Lübeck and seven destroyers, laid a minefield north of Bogskär. While returning to port, the flotilla separated into two sections; Augsburg, Albatross, and three destroyers made for Rixhöft while the remainder of the unit went to Libau. Augsburg and Albatross were intercepted by a powerful Russian squadron commanded by Rear Admiral Bakhirev, consisting of three armored and two light cruisers. Commodore Johannes von Karpf, the flotilla commander, ordered the slower Albatross to steam for neutral Swedish waters and recalled Roon and Lübeck. Albatross was grounded off Gotland and Augsburg escaped, and the Russian squadron briefly engaged Roon before both sides broke contact. Upon being informed of the situation, Hopman sortied with Prinz Heinrich and Prinz Adalbert to support Karpf. While en route, the cruisers encountered the British submarine E9, which scored a hit on Prinz Adalbert. Hopman broke off the operation and returned to port with the damaged cruiser.
From 11 to 12 July, Prinz Heinrich participated in a sortie toward Gotska Sandön, though the Germans failed to locate any Russian warships. Another sweep into the central Baltic, between Libau and Gotland, took place on 1 to 2 August that again did not result in combat. German naval forces in the Baltic were reinforced by elements of the High Seas Fleet during the Battle of the Gulf of Riga in early August 1915. The Germans sought to drive out the Russians in the Gulf of Riga and to lay defensive minefields that would prevent a Russian counterattack. The battleships of the I Battle Squadron were the primary force, though Prinz Heinrich and the rest of the older vessels assigned to the Baltic fleet participated. On 10 August, Prinz Heinrich and Roon bombarded Russian defenses at Zerel, on the southernmost tip of the Sworbe Peninsula on the island of Ösel. Several Russian destroyers were anchored off Zerel, and were caught unawares by the German bombardment. Prinz Heinrich and Roon damaged one of the destroyers during their attack. A combination of tenacious Russian defense and reports of British submarines in the area—proved by the torpedoing of the battlecruiser Moltke on 19 August—caused the German navy to break off the operation.
In the meantime, Prinz Heinrich's boiler tubes were in need of replacement, so she was detached for repairs at Kiel, where she arrived on 11 August. Repairs were completed the following month, and she arrived back in Libau on 22 September. She took part in another minelaying sortie into the Baltic in the direction of Östergarn on 5–6 October. By this time, the German navy had begun to experience severe crew shortages, and so the Reichsmarineamt decided to decommission older, less combat-capable vessels. On 10 November, Prinz Heinrich left Libau for Kiel, where she arrived the following day. Her crew was reduced and she was assigned to the "Readiness Division" with Wittelsbach, and she remained there until 27 March 1916, when she was decommissioned and disarmed. For the rest of the war, she served as a floating headquarters for Prince Heinrich, the commander in chief of naval forces in the Baltic. She was also used as a barracks ship and a tender. Beginning in 1918, she was also used to support the U-Kreuzer Flotilla. She was stricken from the naval register on 25 January 1920 and sold later that year. The ship was ultimately broken up for scrap at Audorf-Rendsburg.

People are unaware that drone aircraft do exist and it is widely used especially by the US military as a communication media and also some this drone aircraft are inbuilt with sophisticated weapons, hovering around most Arab nations. However, this drone aircraft is not for sale but is mostly been used by the military.
These massive killing machines are deadly and it is also inbuilt with many sophisticated weapons. Also, these machines have come to change the nature of warfare, rather than risking soldier’s lives and other equipment that in most cases are deployed out there for combat.
But with the advent of drone aircraft, pinpoint locations are programmed on the drones, thus making it to be accurate and also dangerous work or impenetrable location is now easy. These drone aircrafts operate in a silent mode allowing them to strike with such accuracy and precision.
Moreover, despite being used as military weapons, drone aircraft can be also used as a means of communication through what can be known as Airborne Cellphone Towers (ACPTs). This system help in providing the soldiers in the battlefield with the same communication options that a normal cell phone can provide to an American citizen back at home.
These drone aircrafts are mostly built or specialized to communicate only with the military. It should be noted here that in an event of natural disasters like hurricane, earthquake or even flood, where other forms of communications have failed, drone aircrafts cannot receive stress signal calls from an individual.
This is so because they are highly used for military purposes and furthermore, the ACPTs frequencies used by the military are not the same ones used for commercial purposes. In situations like this, citizens are left completely helpless and stranded in such crises moment.
This can be seen as a failure on the path of the military in that, after spending much money to build a sophisticated means of communication to help in warfare, this same system is highly limited as far as saving lives is concerned.
Drone aircrafts have been so useful in improving and changing warfare, but these drone aircraft if used appropriately not just for the military purpose, but to serve humanity can actually do marvelous jobs. It can be used for measurement of areas affected by events like oil spillage or wildfire.
Recently, the whole world is badly hit by some natural disasters like floods, hurricanes and why not an earthquake. Due to inaccessibility, drone aircraft can be dispatched to warn or rescue stranded persons around the affected areas, but this is however not the case.
Another important domain where drone aircraft can be very useful, but usually is not, can be in providing good aerial photographic images and videos with the use of HD cameras inbuilt in these drone aircraft. These cameras provide high-resolution images and is capable of even searching for a child lost in the forest through the use of infrared cameras in the dark.
Drone aircraft if fully used can serve humanity in many ways than any other device can do, not only through the military aspect, being there and providing just the right information on time, can help mankind evade some of its many challenges. | weapons_science |

Design and Construction
All the Zeppelins were build using Aluminium frames because of the relative lightness when compared with iron or steel. This makes the ability to refine Aluminium a necessary precursor technology to enable lighter than air flight.
Zeppelin gas bags were made from cow’s intestines, which are relatively gas tight, loosing a little more than the modern 10-15 cubic meters per day. Typically, a zeppelin would have multiple gas-bags, so that if one failed the others could still keep the airship afloat.
During WW1, the volume of cow’s intestines needed stopped the eating of the national dish, the bratwurst. Rain on skins, would increase the weight of the Zeppelin and reduce it’s ceiling altitude.
At an altitude at 21,000 ft. the effects on the human body! are quite pronounced. The example they give in the program show that the lack of oxygen reduce muscular strength and cognitive function. (ie the presenter had problems standing and spelling words)
The Germans used sub-cloudcar, to guide the zeppelin it to the target. An operator would sit below the cloud layer and radio up directions to the hidden Zeppelin. They were loaded two types of unguided bombs high explosive and Incendiary.
To counter the Zeppelin threat the British used Sound Mirrors placed along the coast. The sound mirror was a concert structure that captures and directs sound waves to a listener, who would then direct the Flak guns. However, this proved ineffective as the gun would have to match angle and distance to score a hit.
Then the Royal Flying Corps (RFC) tried using the BE2c aircraft with a Lewis machine gun to attack the airships from below. The machine gun was too weak leaving just small holes from which the gas would leak out, but at such a slow rate that the airships could still continue with their mission.
A flaming bullet was developed for the machine gun to ignite the Hydrogen gas in the balloon. The incendiary bullets made from Phosphorous, but this did not explode the Hydrogen because there was not enough Oxygen to cause a fire.
Explosive bullets made with nitro glycogen were designed to blow holes in the Zeppelin skin. These were alternated with the incendiary bullets in the machine guns, but it still required concentrated fire (A technique pioneered by Leaf Robinson) to cause the fire to down a Zeppelin.

Posted: February 1, 2010 at 1:00 am, Last Updated: January 29, 2010 at 4:10 pm
By James Greif
With terrorism being one of the major security concerns of the 21st century, governments are developing sophisticated systems to defend against the use of biological weapons, such as anthrax or smallpox. However, the general public understands little about these weaponized pathogens, leading to fear about our vulnerability to such an attack.
Gregory Koblentz, assistant professor and deputy director of Mason’s master’s and doctoral biodefense programs, has written a new book on biological weapon defense that helps to clear up some of the mystery. Titled “Living Weapons: Biological Warfare and International Security,” the book is part of the Cornell University Press Studies in Security Affairs Series.
Critically acclaimed by biodefense scholars around the world, “Living Weapons” was heralded as an “up-to-date and comprehensive analysis of biological weapons as a strategic problem that should become the standard text in the field” in a Foreign Affairs review.
Koblentz discussed the book and his thoughts on the threat of biological weapons.
What are some of the challenges in security related to biological weapons?
Unlike nuclear and chemical weapons, biological weapons are composed of, or derived from, living organisms. This unique characteristic is at the heart of many of the security challenges that they pose. The diversity of pathogenic microorganisms and toxins that can be used as weapons provides an attacker with flexibility in planning and conducting an attack and greatly complicates the task of the defender. The ability of pathogens to replicate themselves inside a host enables an attacker to use only a small amount of a biological weapon to inflict mass casualties. The overlap between the equipment, knowledge and materials required to develop biological weapons and to conduct civilian biomedical research or develop biological defenses — what I call the multi-use dilemma — limits the effectiveness of arms control measures, hinders civilian oversight and complicates intelligence collection and analysis. As a result, it is difficult to verify that biotechnology is not being misused for hostile purposes, to exercise effective oversight over biological weapons programs and to obtain accurate assessments of a state’s capabilities and intentions. This is a dangerous and destabilizing combination of characteristics for a technology that is becoming increasingly available throughout the world.
What kinds of defense strategies does the United States have against a biological attack?
Since 2001, the United States has spent over $50 billion to prevent, prepare for and respond to a biological attack. The largest investment has been in the research, development and acquisition of new vaccines, therapeutics, diagnostics and detection systems. The United States now has a system in place to detect an attack with an aerosolized biological agent on major cities, a biosurveillance system to detect unusual clusters of symptoms or syndromes, and a laboratory network to identify biological threat agents. The United States also has large stockpiles of anthrax and smallpox vaccines, as well as antibiotics and other medical supplies needed to respond to a large biological attack. The ability of medical and public health systems to respond to both natural and man-made disasters has also been improved through training, exercising, planning and capacity building. Preventing bioterrorism has perennially received the least amount of resources and attention. That is set to change under the Obama Administration, which just released a biosecurity strategy that places a strong emphasis on preventive measures.
Terrorist activity in the last few years has not included biological weapons. Why is this? Is this likely to change?
As we see every day in Iraq and Afghanistan, guns and bombs remain the preferred weapons of terrorists and insurgents. These weapons are cheap, easy to use and widely available. There are two trends, however, that increase the risk of bioterrorism in the future. The first is the emergence of increasingly lethal terrorist groups that are interested in causing mass casualties. The focus of groups such as Al-Qaeda and its affiliates on causing mass casualties and conducting “spectacular” attacks is worrisome since it creates an incentive for such groups to explore new ways of causing death and destruction. The second trend is the globalization of the biotechnology revolution, which makes the equipment, material and knowledge necessary to develop these weapons more widely available. Based on past experience, we are unlikely to receive sufficient warning of a terrorist group that combines the motivation to cause mass casualties with the capability to employ disease as a weapon.
As you mentioned in your book, the general public is quite fearful of these weapons. In the Washington, D.C., area, we saw the panic that arose with the anthrax letter attack of 2001. What information in your book would be useful for citizens to know about the threat of these weapons and how to protect themselves? What sort of information could the media provide to reduce panic?
Biological weapons are the least well understood of the so-called weapons of mass destruction, which include nuclear and chemical weapons. Government officials and academics frequently lump biological weapons together with nuclear and chemical weapons under the category of “weapon of mass destruction” or discuss the “chem-bio” threat. The use of these terms has obscured important differences between these different types of weapons. Learning about the history of these weapons, how they work, and what their limitations are should help people put the threat of biological weapons into the proper context.
The media is fascinated with our society’s vulnerability to attack and to the potential consequences of an attack, but they tend to downplay or ignore the technical obstacles to actually conducting a successful biological terrorist attack. For example, despite its impressive resources, the Japanese cult Aum Shinrikyo failed to cause any casualties with biological weapons, despite numerous attempts to do so. The media also tends to report more on problems with our biodefense programs and less on their successes, which skews the public’s perception of how well prepared the nation is for an attack.

The deadly gun– a preferred weapon of mass shooters in the U.S.– was likewise considered a “modern-day musket” by the weapon lobby:
The AR-15 is the contemporary musket.
An daily weapon for daily people.

“Modern-day musket my ass,” tweeted David Hogg, who was a student at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, in 2018 when a shooter equipped with an AR-15 shot 34 trainees and team member:
6 minutes 20 seconds Is all it took for the shooter at my high school to fire over 100 rounds from his AR-15 to shoot 34 people.
Because very same quantity of time even the most skilled individual would have just had the ability to fire 18 rounds with a musket.

The AR-15 is the contemporary weapon of option for mass murders. It was utilized to eliminate my child and 16 others in school in 6 minutes. An daily weapon for those who wish to eliminate as lots of as possible.

The NRA’s reaction to a tsunami of criticism on Twitter was to slam “ignorant gun control keyboard warriors” who wrongly think that the “AR” in the weapon’s name means “assault rifle.”
The AR in fact means ArmaLite Rifle, which was initially created in the 1950 s by ArmaLite Inc. for themilitary Colt ultimately acquired the style, offered the military with its own M-16 weapons and offered the AR-15 to police– and civilians. The weapons, and other variations by other makers, were prohibited in the U.S. from 1994 to2004

The Monarch is a simple design that is easy on the eye and effortless in the hand. The ‘Artemis’ features some of William Henry’s signature forged metals, and represents the perfect synthesis between elegance, function, modern and exotic materials; a distinctive personality statement to be worn and used for a lifetime.
Damascus steel was a term used by several Western cultures from the Medieval period onward to describe a type of steel created in India and used in swordmaking from about 300 BC to 1700 AD. These swords were characterized by distinctive patterns of banding and mottling reminiscent of flowing water. Such blades were reputed to be not only tough and resistant to shattering, but capable of being honed to a sharp and resilient edge. William Henry’s damascus is made is made from several types of steel welded together to form a billet.
The patterns vary depending on how the damascus artist works the billet. The billet is drawn out and folded until the desired number of layers are formed. William Henry damascus billets are forged with a minimum of 300 layers. William Henry works with a handful of the very best damascus artists/forgers in the U.S. | weapons_science |

The Kel-Tec KPX is a submachine gun that is well on its path to becoming one of the most effective shots for tactical shooting available. Some prefer it as the ultimate tactical shotgun and other people see it as an amazing novelty. It’s a bullpup style fully automatic gun , with two drum magazines. The bullpup style makes it slim, but extremely effective. Keep reading to discover details about submachine guns.
The ideal tactical shotgun might be either a short or a longer gun. Additionally, they come with different barrel lengths and overall sizes. Shorter shotguns are usually under thirty inches long and are available in three gauges, https://bestguns.net/search-page/?keyword=ruger+mini+30 with the most measuring eight inches. To increase stability, the bigger gauges are longer and have broad bases.
Tacticool’s tactical shotgun comes with the highest-quality double-A-ring magazine. It is equipped with two shotguns with a drum magazine. The iron sights are common on this shotgun which has an extremely authentic pumping action. This is a fantastic shotgun to use used for both self-defense and hunting purposes. The shotgun is also equipped with a removable stock, it is available in a set.
It is one of the most sought-after tactical shotguns on the https://bestguns.net/search-page/?keyword=cz+scorpion+evo market, and it’s the Remington Model 590. It is a popular choice for law enforcement and home defense personnel. The model with five shots comes with an adjustable folding stock with three pronged buttstock. The Kel-Tec KPX is not compatible with this model. However, it’s able to take larger cartridges. Furthermore, it’s among of the smallest models in the marketplace, which makes it ideal for users with limited space.
Sig Sauer model 7750 is another shotgun that is equipped with a steel magazine . It it can be fired in one shot or full-automatic settings. It’s a great model for hunting as it’s capable to be used with different calibers. This isn’t the ideal choice for those who wish to be able to shoot more rapidly. It’s a bit smaller than the Remington model 590 https://bestguns.net/search-page/?keyword=marlin+1895+sbl, weighing approximately seven and seven and a half pounds. Its length overall is slightly smaller at 7 1/2 inches, when it’s unloaded.
Another excellent tactical shotgun is the mossberg 500 from Sig Sauer. It can handle heavier shells as well as being ideal to shoot larger calibers. It’s capable of handling nine caliber rounds as well as buckshot rounds. The model is compatible with right or left-hand straps for carrying. You can choose from either a 1-inch or 3-inch.
shotguns that are this kind are an excellent choice for use for close-quarter combat. The Mossberg 500 is able to shoot either two or three rounds in just one minute. Additionally, you can find tactical shotguns that shoot three shots at a time for more rapid ammunition. In the case of stuck in a tight space where you have to take a lot of shots then you could hold the trigger and pull the gun again following each shot. This permits you to fire several shots in a row simultaneously.
There are many people who are looking at the guns provided by Smith & Wesson. They offer models that have shooters that can be interchanged. It offers shooting grips that work with both calibers . This means you could shoot both in one shot. There are shots of buckshot or steel Slug pellets. There is the option of choosing the ammunition specially made for shotguns such as the birdshot , which is more accurate. | weapons_science |

I have the 3" unrifled, and it is accurate to 2 inches at 30 feet. This adaptor takes that out considerably! Shot two in one hole, and 1 an inch left of that at 30'; ran out of landing to back up across at 25 yards and it was still plunking them right in there. Very useful addition to my H&R single-shot system.

I own 6 of your adapters and when you make a 38/357 and a 44 mag. I will own 8. That is my review . If I did not love them I would not spend my money on them.
Posted by Scott Witner on 21st Mar 2013
I love being able to switch from 12ga to a .45 long colt round. Using the right ammo you can knock down any big game animal in North America and it's a legal cartridge to hunt with. Short Lane has done an outstanding job at producing these adapters. I own all 3 8" Pathfinder adapters with now make my single shot H&R my go to gun.
Posted by Steve Kynard on 8th Feb 2013
Received my adapter earlier this week and got to try it out today. Once I found which one of my 45 LC loads it liked it was just a matter of turning it until I found the sweet spot. Accuracy was very good considering I only had a front bead. I wouldn't hesitate to take a deer or hog out to 60 yards with this adapter. An excellent product.
Posted by S. Lamboy on 8th Feb 2013
I own all three 8" adapters for the 12ga. and I've no problems with any of them the 45lc has to be my favorite so far. Using the Hornady 45lc Lever-evolution ammo only increases the lethality and flexability of the break action shotgun. Hogs and coyotes watch out. My only wish would be 8" adapters for the 16 & 20ga also. Hint dropped. If there's an 8" adapter for either I know I'll buy it. Thanks for a great product.

Fantastic! Turns my 12 gauge coach gun into a double barrel .45lc carbine. It has saved me hundreds of dollars, not to mention how hard it is to find a .45lc rifle for sale nowadays, anyways. Plenty accurate for deep swamp terrain where I hunt.

Astana. May 15. KazTAG - The Majilis has approved ratification of the treaty on nuclear weapons ban, reports the lower chamber of the Parliament of Kazakhstan.
"The treaty on nuclear weapons ban has been approved. The treaty was performed in the UN headquarter in New York on July 7 2017. The regulations of the treaty comply with the principle position of Kazakhstan which passed the way from the holder of the world fourth biggest nuclear arsenal to the state-leader in the field of nuclear disarmament and non-proliferation," reads the message.
According to the document, each State Party undertakes the obligation never to develop, test, produce, manufacture, acquire, possess, or accumulate nuclear weapons under no circumstances.
"The parties must prevent any installation or deployment of any nuclear weapons or other nuclear explosive devices on their territory or in any place under their jurisdiction or control,” the Majilis said.

These light craft are designed to carry out attacks on sensitive installations and targets that required immense precision.
In fleet battle, starfighters work in concert with capital ships, harassing warships and striking once their shields have weakened or failed due to enemy capital ship-fire. Alone, fighters have little to no chance of penetrating the shields of capital ships. For this reason, starfighters are grouped in squadrons and are equipped with proton torpedoes and concussion missiles. These squadrons could take out a large capital ship with precision fire.
Although not directly related to the fighter technology, we are providing a fighter pilot slang glossary for completeness of information.

Top Army commanders say they are very pleased. The aircraft was an integral part of the combat operations, flying all types of missions from leading the attack to providing flank and rear-area security, surviving heavy hits from enemy fire without a single pilot being seriously injured so far, said Lt. Col. Pat Garman, the U.S. Army's Apache Longbow program manager, who spoke to the media Wednesday at the Boeing plant.
But a published report in Newsday quoted some Apache pilots in Iraq as being disappointed they weren't ordered into more action, adding they believe they were deliberately held back from combat.
The 18 Apache helicopters in the 3rd Infantry Division destroyed a 58 tanks, armored vehicles and artillery systems. During the 1991 Gulf War, one company of six Apaches destroyed 20 of those in a single day, said chief warrant officer Scott Beiler, who flew Apaches in both wars. Third Infantry Apache pilots went days — sometimes more than a week — without flying attack missions.
The Apache battalion didn't fly into Bagdad airport until two days after it was seized by ground units in heavy fighting. Lt. Col. Dan Williams, the Apache battalion commander, often had to counsel pilots not to get discouraged.
“We came here with stars in our eyes and thought we were going to be the division's main effort,” said Capt. Dave Collins. Garman conceded the point, saying much fighting took place in cities where the Apache is not well suited.
The Apache is designed primarily to attack enemy tanks and other armored vehicles from long range, but it can be vulnerable to heavy enemy fire from underneath when it is only flying at about 100 feet, he said.
“Although the aircraft is extremely lethal and survivable, it is not a tank,” he said. “So once you get into heavy built-up areas, the aircraft was probably sent to do other missions.”
Army investigators have not yet determined what caused one Apache to go down on March 23, an incident in which Saddam Hussein claimed the helicopter had been shot down by a farmer with a rifle. The two pilots were captured by the Iraqis, but they were rescued by American forces Sunday. Although the cause hasn't been determined, Garman said it is virtually impossible to shoot down an Apache with rifle fire.
“Others took many hits and survived,” he said. “Some had all of their rotor blades hit, but not one pilot was seriously injured. They have been doing some very hazardous missions and have been very successful.”
He cited one incident in which an Apache took a hit from an anti-tank missile in one of its engines, but was able to fly back to its base safely using its other engine.
Most of the battle-damaged Apaches have already been repaired and are flying again, because damaged internal systems can be quickly replaced in the field, he said. For example, sections of a damaged drive shaft can be removed and replaced without having to replace the entire drive shaft, he said. Rep. Trent Franks, R-Ariz., a member of the House Armed Services Committee who also visited the Boeing plant Wednesday, called the Apache a weapon for a “noble soldier” because it can distinguish friend from foe and attack its targets with precision. “We are very privileged to have this weapon built in Arizona,” he said. | weapons_science |

A Statistical Method, Using LabVIEW Software, To Determine Missile Defense System Locations
Introduction Universities should offer an elective course covering missile defense technology. This course should cover subsystems needed for a ballistic missile defense engagement during powered, ballistic, and re-entry flights. A text book for the course should be written to include all the subsystems needed for these engagements. These subsystems are search, acquisition, track and target subsystems. In the early 1970’s, the first author was evolved with designing, building and installing successful ground based missile locating and tracking systems for the Department of Defense. Funds for additional ground based missile locating and tracking systems were not allocated because a decision was made to deploy satellite missile defense systems. The 1972 Antiballistic Missile (ABM) Treaty with the Soviet Union delayed development of missile defense systems by the United States (U.S.). Now, the U.S. has a National Missile Defense (NMD) program. The most pressing concern today is the feasibility of an attack by North Korean ballistic missiles bearing nuclear or biological weapons. Hypothesizing that a North Korean missile destroys a city like San Francisco or New York in the future, missile defense will become the highest priority program for the U.S. Universities should start teaching missile defense technology now to expose engineering students to missile defense.
A searching subsystem is needed to detect the launch of one or more ballistic missiles to provide early warning. The missile’s on-board tracking beacon is of primary interest to a missile defense system. A beacon tracking system is used at the launch site to track and keep the missile on the proper flight path during powered flight. During the 1970’s, beacon signals were in the 2-6 Giga Hertz (GHz) frequency range. A ground based 2-6 GHz signal will normally propagate straight off the earth. However, experience has shown the signal will bend over the horizon during the missile’s powered flight. The searching subsystem at the missile defense site will detect the beacon signal before the missile breaks the horizon to be acquired by radar.
A beacon tracking subsystem at the missile defense site could be already locked on to the missile’s tracking beacon and providing early warning of the missile launch prior to the missile’s horizon break point. The tracking radar subsystem could operate in synchronism with the bacon tracking system and take over tracking the missile at the horizon break point. Also, the targeting system could be calculating the antimissile intercept point before the missile breaks the horizon. In this scenario, the missile could be destroyed in powered flight or just when it enters ballistic flight. A search window around the point where the missile is predicted to break the horizon will allow the beacon tracking system to locate the beacon signal.
A suitable location (fixed land site or aboard ship site) for the missile defense is required to accomplish the scenario described above. This paper presents a statistical method and a LabVIEW modeling software program for choosing missile defense system locations to be included in the missile defense course. This statistical method and a LabVIEW modeling software program would be installed in the search subsystem described above.

Rockstead Knives produce some of the best knives in the world due to their outstanding choice of quality materials, their cutting edge manufacturing techniques and processes as well as their attention to detail in regards to the fit and finish of the knives they produce. These knifes features phenomenally smooth action, resulting from phosphor-bronze washers and tight tolerances. The knives have dual thumb studs on the blades to aid in easy, ambidextrous one-handed opening/closing.
Rockstead knives are known for their phenomenal sharpness and boast producing the world’s sharpest knives. They are able to achieve this with their Honzukuri/Hamaguri (convex) edge grinds, which allow for having a thick blade without sacrificing any sharpness. The polishing process takes the knives from #400 grit, then #800, #1200, and finally to #2000 grit before final buffing to achieve that gorgeous mirror polish. This ensures an edge that is mind-blowingly sharp and one that will stand up to rigorous use while maintaining and edge that will last for quite a while.

Boeing Australia has revealed that in collaboration with the Royal Australian Air Force, it has advanced the operational readiness of its Air Power Team (ATS) system under development for the RAAF Loyal Wingman program in a digital environment. .
Using a ‘digital twin’ of the current air vehicle system, the company has successfully demonstrated multiple payloads, semi-autonomous behaviors, and a crewed and unmanned team in the digital environment. In a multi-day exercise that spanned a similar activity, RAAF operators worked with the digital twin to develop and test autonomous behaviors in operational scenarios and against threats provided by Defense.
“We are working closely with Boeing Australia on the integration of advanced payloads and operational requirements to ensure that the Airpower team system capability will be mission-ready to support air combat operations,” said the RAAF Air Force Capability Chief AVM Robert Denney in a December statement. 8 Boeing press release. “The state-of-the-art digital twin concept allows us to assess and integrate intelligent human-machine team systems into our force structure. “
The tests included validating the integration of team aircraft and payloads when operating alongside the Defense manned platforms, as well as the effectiveness of the sensors distributed throughout the system’s unmanned team. Airpower team. The test scenario involved multiple aircraft operating in a threatening environment, executing mission objectives in coordination with manned aircraft operated by RAAF personnel, and building on work to develop the crew-unmanned interface during previous activities.
This work also contributed to the development of the Boeing ATS offered to global customers.
“Our digital engineering expertise has enabled us to accelerate the development of the Airpower Teaming System product lifecycle, from aircraft design to production,” added Brad Thompson, Chief Capability Architect at Airpower Teaming System. “The creation of the digital environment also allowed us to test mission systems code in a realistic operational environment so that we could quickly iterate our crewed and unmanned team concepts and payload implementation for respond to the threat environment.
“Taking a digital twin approach provides an agile and cost-effective testing program to keep pace with the future battlespace, and we are on track to achieve initial operational capability,” he added.
Progress in the development of the Airpower Teaming System mission and payload system has included loop testing of ground hardware and software, followed by substitute flight tests of on-board systems to support the verification of digital models.
“We are delighted to test payload elements against appropriately spectrally representative targets in field trials,” said Thompson. “This allows us to quickly integrate lessons learned into our digital environment to accelerate development towards operational capability. “
A digital twin of the entire aircraft has been “flown” thousands of times under different battlespace effects to test the aircraft’s performance and maximize its ability to deploy independently and in support of the aircraft. ‘other planes.

The Thailand Research Fund (TRF), in collaboration with the Defence Research and Development Office (DRDO) of the defence ministry, intends to research half-scale UAV technology for three years. A prototype has already been developed.
Recently, the artillery division of the Royal Thai Army placed orders for 10 UAV units. Two have been delivered and the rest would be handed over in October, Suteera Prasertsan, deputy director for the TRF, said. Locally made UAVs would save the artillery division around 600 million baht.
Two private companies, Siam UAV and Bangkok Airways, have entered discussions with the TRF and DRDO recently. But no company has been authorised to produce the UAVs. The TRF is requesting assistance from the National Science and Technology Development Agency to seek potential investors interested in commercial production of the units.
The TRF says that with an investment of 90 million baht, it could produce four UAVs. The cost of an indigenously produced UAV would be 10 times lower than imported ones. The project would also strengthen the negotiating power of the armed forces with foreign UAV suppliers, because they would no longer need to buy half-scale units.The TRF and DRDO expect to sell their UAVs domestically and internationally. Indonesia, for example, is a potential customer for half-scale UAVs that could be used for disaster control and relief. UAV development is a priority project of the Royal Thai Army for deployment in the troubled deep south provinces, where the country is facing an Islamic insurgency. | weapons_science |

The surprise attack resulted in 2,403 US personnel killed, 1,178 US personnel wounded, and eight battleships damaged or sunk. Three cruisers, three destroyers, an anti-aircraft training ship, and one minelayer were damaged or destroyed. Japanese losses remained relatively low at twenty-nine aircraft, five midget submarines, and sixty-four personnel lost.
Before the Pearl Harbor attack, most naval strategists considered the battleship to be the heart of the fleet. The victorious Japanese carrier attack proved the weakness of a battleship-centric strategy and removed battleships from the U.S. inventory. These facts, plus the need to defend the massive Pacific Ocean, forced U.S. naval strategists to shift from a battleship to a carrier-centric strategy in 1941.
Sixty-nine years later, U.S. maritime power is still projected by carrier groups.
Rethinking Carrier-Centric Strategy:
In 2020, lessons from the Japanese use of emerging technology (aircraft) in WW2 cause people to question whether today’s emerging technology requires the U.S. to rethink its carrier-centric strategy. Paramount in this debate is the concern over carrier vulnerability to modern anti-ship missiles.
In response to these and other concerns, the Chief of Naval Operations said in 2019 that U.S. carriers are probably less vulnerable today than at any time since World War Two. Planners in the Office of the Secretary of Defense have also started moving away from the notion that emerging carrier threats are a compelling reason to reorganize the Navy. According to some Department of Defense analysts, a more cost-efficient fleet consisting of smaller forces of uncrewed vessels would place fewer lives at risk and provide greater ‘ bang for the buck.’ Despite these arguments, U.S. naval doctrine remains carrier-centric.
While carrier safety concerns have been around for decades, China’s induction of the world’s first operational anti-ship ballistic missile (ASBM) has increased angst. U.S. intelligence reports that these ‘carrier killers’ utilize both conventional or nuclear warheads and can target medium and large naval vessels at ranges of 3,500–5,000 kilometers (2,200–3,100 mi). China also appears to be developing second-generation ASBMs that use hypersonic maneuverable reentry technology to search for ships. These weapons’ high-speed maneuvers significantly increase the difficulty of intercepting incoming ASBMs. Other countries such as India and Russia are believed to have similar weapons under development. Thus, the question is, will the ABSMs render carriers obsolete?
The development of military technology has followed a life cycle of innovation, followed by counter design. As an example, one country develops a better ship while another country develops better anti-ship missiles. One combatant develops a better tank while their enemy develops a better antitank missle. In naval tactics, this means that when a potential enemy develops an ASBM, the U.S. must develop an appropriate countermeasure or change strategy.
To this end, the U.S. has developed electronic warfare (EW) systems under the Surface Electronic Warfare Improvement Program Block 3 (SEWIP-B3). The goal of SEWIP-B3 is to counter the latest generation of enemy ASBM technology while adding offensive electronic attack capabilities. SEWIP B3 is an electronic attack weapon that can locate, jam, and disrupt inbound threats. SEWIP-B3 can also conduct offensive operations against enemy communications networks, datalinks, radar systems, and other electronic sources. SEWIP-B3 is designed to be installed on Navy DDG-51 Class Destroyers and is on track to be operational in the next few years.
The SEWIP-B3 electronic warfare system utilizes sixteen Active Electronically Scanned Arrays (AESA) to emit groups of targeted, individual “pencil” beams at a threat. One advantage of AESA over technology that projects wide overlapping beams is that it allows the system to direct energy precisely where needed as the danger approaches. Since the Block 3 system operates at machine speed, it can rapidly engage fast-moving enemy vehicles and cause an ASBM to destroy itself shortly after detection. Block 3 is agile and fully programmable for various threats. The use of integrated individual narrowly-configured beams allows the system to track multiple threats and limit their own-ship signature emissions simultaneously. SEWIP works by confusing inbound anti-ship missiles to the point where they are battle ineffective. EW systems also have the advantages of unlimited magazines to protect warfighters against incoming threats.
Because this new EW weapon transmits a narrow signal, it is less likely to reveal its location than systems using wider scanning technologies. Another advantage is that SEWIP can turn off emissions and enter a passive and silent mode to detect enemy signals without emitting any signature and revealing the ship’s position.
By design, EW provides non-kinetic networked options that can achieve an impactful non-explosive battlefield in which ships can track and destroy a multitude of enemy hardware. The ability to destroy an enemy missile without creating large amounts of explosive debris has many advantages in a heavily trafficked ocean area.
While enemy threats to the carrier are evolving, EW technologies such as SEWIP-B3 can significantly reduce carrier risks from modern missiles while expanding the fleet’s offensive capabilities. With these facts in mind, ASBMs are not likely to force the U.S. to depart from a carrier-centric strategy in the immediate future. | weapons_science |

It has a pointed nose, unlike the normal IRIS-T., The Swedish Army plans to develop a ground launched version of the IRIS-T to replace the RBS 70 missile system. IRIS-T is a supreme short-range, incredibly maneuverable, all-aspect air-to-air missile. Comprising the IRIS-T missile and launching station, as well as fire control system, the newly delivered systems are scheduled to be operated by the army along with a new Saab-built command and control (C2) system and modernised sensors. Improvements in target discrimination not only allows for 5 to 8 times longer head-on firing range than the AIM-9L, it can also engage targets behind the launching aircraft, the latter made possible by the extreme close-in agility allowing turns of 60 g at a rate of 60°/s. The IRIS-T (Infra-Red Imaging System – Tail/Thrust Vector Controlled) is a next-generation short-range air-to-air missile intended to replace the aging AIM-9 Sidewinder. Die IRIS-T (Infra Red Imaging System Tail/Thrust Vector-Controlled) ist ein Luft-Luft-Lenkflugkörper mit Infrarotsuchkopf für den Nah- und Nächstbereich. In 2003 Spain joined as a partner for procurement. Based on the new IRIS-T SL guided missile, which is a component of the German Armed Forces´ new Tactical Air Defence System (TLVS), Diehl Defence is offering armed … Contracted by the Bundeswehr, it was developed for Tactical Air Defence and was qualified for in-service use in 2017. Saab has signed a contract with the French Armament General Directorate (DGA) for an upgrade and life extension of the French Air and Space Force’s mobile command and control systems, which feature Saab’s Giraffe AMB radar and command and control shelter. Origin. IRIS-T (acronimo di Infra Red Imaging System Tail-Thrust Vector Controlled) è un tipo di missile aria-aria a corto raggio che utilizza un sistema di rilevamento e inseguimento del bersaglio mediante una cellula all'infrarosso. The AIM-2000 IRIS-T ( Infra Red Imaging System Tail/Thrust Vector-Controlled, the earlier designation was InfraRed Improved Sidewinder/Thrust Vector-Controlled) is an infrared guided air-to-air missile, designed for close range combat. The highly agile IRIS-T guided missiles are to protect soldiers and infrastructure against missile, aircraft and attack helicopters. TAURUS KEPD 350 Extremely demanding air operations require a precision air-to-surface missile system. IRIS-T SLM ground-based air defence system. IRIS-T (acronimo di Infra Red Imaging System Tail-Thrust Vector Controlled) è un tipo di missile aria-aria a corto raggio che utilizza un sistema di rilevamento e inseguimento del bersaglio mediante una cellula all'infrarosso. , The Norwegian Army is currently developing a self-propelled anti-aircraft system, combining IRIS-T missiles fired from existing NASAMS II-launchers mounted on a lengthened M113 chassis. Improvements in target discrimination not only allows for 5 to 8 times longer head-on firing range than the AIM-9L, it can also engage targets behind the launching aircraft, the latter made possible by the extreme close-in agility allowing turns of 60 g at a rate of 60°/s. The IRIS-T SL (Surface Launched) is a new, mobile, medium-range surface-to-air guided missile designed and developed by Diehl BGT Defence to meet future medium-range air defence needs of the German Air Force. IRIS-T SL. Source: HaraF ... IRIS-T / Infra Red Imaging System - Tail control ... Facts IRIS-T General. Workshare arrangements for IRIS-T development are:. The medium range IRIS-T SL will also be complemented by the shorter range IRIS-T SLS. The missile system house Diehl BGT Defence has won Saudi Arabia as a new export customer for the IRIS-T air-to-air guided missile. This work was dusted off for the UK/German effort, with the Germans providing a new seeker, and the British providing most of the remaining components. In the intervening time, the need for high manoeuvrability was downgraded in favor of greater range. The SHORAD solution employs the IRIS-T air-to-air missile, operative in Sweden, for vertical launch from the Hägglunds Bv410 carrier platform. IRIS - T carries a roll-pitch imaging IR seeker with a ± 90 degree look angle and advanced signal processing and is fully compliant with existing analogous Sidewinder and digital aircraft interfaces. The first target was engaged at a distance of more than 30 km. Kongsberg Defence & Aerospace dostarczy norweskim siłom zbrojnym naziemny system obrony powietrznej na podwoziu M113, wyposażony w pociski IRIS-T. IRIS-T on tutkatoimisella herätesytyttimellä laukeava lämpöhakuinen ohjus ja varustettu kääntyvällä peräsuuttimella. Competing in the international market, requires a strong global presence. In comparison to the AIM-9L Sidewinder, the IRIS-T has higher ECM-resistance and flare suppression. IRIS-T is a supreme short-range, incredibly maneuverable, all-aspect air-to-air missile. Norway has already retired theirs, and as previously mentioned the Swedish armed forces announced in 2011 that they intend to replace it in service with a ground-launched version of the IRIS-T missile --- a stunning reversal, as the IRIS-T is infrared-guided, and too large to be used as part of a MANPADS system. Germany. The missile can make turns of up to 60 g and can be fired at targets behind the launcher aircraft, something really unusual even in the current missiles. lower-tier complementary missile to the PAC 3 MSE for the Medium Extended Air Defence System (MEADS) of the German Air Force. IRIS-T est un acronyme signifiant en anglais Infra Red Imaging System Tail/Thrust Vector-Controlled (système dimagerie infra-rouge contrôlé par poussée vectorielle). The shorter range IRIS-T SLS system uses unmodified IRIS-T air-to-air missiles launched from standard LAU-7 aircraft launchers, four of which are mounted onto an all-terrain launch vehicle, while the medium-range IRIS-T SL missile is equipped with an enlarged rocket motor, datalink, and jettisonable drag-reducing nose cone. IRIS-T’s diameter, length, mass and centre of gravity position have been deliberately chosen so it is compatible with its Sidewinder predecessor. Exhibition ILA Berlin Air Show 2016 Learn more about us and how we support our customers. In addition to elements from the NASAMS, this highly mobile air defence system includes the IRIS-T missile from Diehl Defence GmbH and a radar from Weibel Scientific A/S. IRIS-T SLM from Diehl Defense Diehl Defense’s IRIS-T SLM is an air defense system based on the IRIS-T SL guided missile, which is nearing operational readiness. Unlike the heavily modified IRIS-T SL, the surface launched IRIS-T SLS retains the basic missile body and imaging infrared seeker of the original air launched IRIS-T. Equipped with an innovative infrared seeker, thrust-vector control and a dogfight optimized motor, you can engage any target from point-blank up to maximum range. The IRIS-T (Infra Red Imaging System Tail/Thrust Vector-Controlled) is a German-led program to develop a short-range infrared homing air-to-air missile to replace the AIM-9 Sidewinder found in some NATO member countries. Some of the most famous AAMs, like the Sidewinder, IRIS-T, Asraam, are Infrared Homing missiles. Diehl Defence showcased its ground-based air defence system comprising an IRIS-T SL surface-launched guided missile, an IRIS-T SLM launch vehicle as well as Ground- Based Multi-Mission Radar. Presently Diehl is equipping the Swedish Army with the IRIS-T SLS short-range air-defence system. The IRIS-T SL system is based on the concept of the IRIS-T air-to-air missile and complies with German Air Force requirements for a secondary missile for ground-based, medium- range air defense within the trilateral MEADS program. Diehl has tested the IRIS-T SL (Surface Launched) missile at Overberg before, but the tests conducted earlier this month used different hardware and a new command and control […] Ainakin seuraavat koneet voidaan varustaa sillä: Eurofighter Typhoon, F-16, EF-18, Tornado, JAS Gripen ja AMX International AMX Kehityksestä on vastannut kuuden maan konsortio, jossa päävastuussa on saksalainen Diehl Defence. 360-degree Protection. The IRIS-T (Infra Red Imaging System Tail/Thrust Vector-Controlled) is a German-led program to develop a short-range infrared homing air-to-air missile to replace the AIM-9 Sidewinder found in some NATO member countries. Type. The system is made up of Saab’s Giraffe S-band radar, a modified version of Diehl Defence’s IRIS-T air-to-air missile, and Lockheed’s Skykeeper command system. The Army Mobile Ground Based Air Defence System provides the Norwegian Army a unique capability to provide air defence throughout their maneuver operations. The IDAS missile system comprises three major components including a missile, a launching container, and combat system (CS) integration. In 1995, Germany announced the IRIS-T development program, in collaboration with Greece, Italy, Norway, Sweden and Canada. Any aircraft capable of firing the Sidewinder is also capable of launching the IRIS-T. Delivery is set for 2015.

The IRIS-T programme sees Germany, Greece, Norway, Italy, Spain and Sweden unite to provide access to technology and expertise. Unlike the heavily modified IRIS-T SL, the surface launched IRIS-T SLS retains the basic missile body and imaging infrared seeker of the original air launched IRIS-T. Developed, produced and in-service by the member nations as well as in service by several user countries. , In comparison to the AIM-9L Sidewinder, the IRIS-T has higher ECM-resistance and flare suppression. Any aircraft capable of carrying and firing Sidewinder is also capable of launching IRIS-T. German Air Force soldiers mount an IRIS-T to an Eurofighter, In the 1980s, NATO countries signed a Memorandum of Agreement that the United States would develop a medium-range air-to-air missile to replace the AIM-7 Sparrow, while Britain and Germany would develop a short-range air-to-air missile to replace the AIM-9 Sidewinder. It has all-aspect capability and an acquisition range that is compatible with the missile’s full kinematic range. The TLVS system includes Lockheed's Patriot Advanced Capability missile as its primary missile, but lacks a means to integrate the IRIS-T missile system as a secondary interceptor missile… The new surface-to-air guided missile IRIS-T SL (Surface Launched) is an upgraded version of the IRIS-T air-to-air guided missile. It is based on the IRIS-T air-to-air missile. The IRIS-T SL guided missile represents the ground-air variant of the IRIS-T, which has a stronger rocket motor and therefore can travel up … Its mass, length, diameter and centre of gravity are also similar to the AIM-9L/M Sidewinder. IDAS is supposed to engage air threats, small or medium surface vessels or near land targets. in the ground-based air defence system IRIS-T SLS for object and short-range protection. Some of the most famous AAMs, like the Sidewinder, IRIS-T, Asraam, are Infrared Homing missiles. It offers a high degree of precision hit performance on determined impact points. Saab serves the global market of governments, authorities and corporations with products, services and solutions ranging from military defence to civil security. These conclusions led Germany to question certain aspects of the design of ASRAAM. The IRIS-T SL missile flight time was about one minute reaching an altitude above 12 km. Saabs products are sold to over 100 countries and we currently operates in over 30 countries. The weapon has high single-shot kill probability and can be deployed under all climatic conditions. , The roots of the ASRAAM dated back to 1968 when development began on the Hawker Siddeley SRAAM ('Taildog'), but this project ended in 1974 with no production orders. IRIS-T is the acronym for “Infra Red Imaging System Tail / Thrust Vector-Controlled”. SAMP/T (MBDA Aster missile) (Franco-Italian) land-based SHORAD/MRAD system RIM-116 Rolling Airframe Missile – United States / Germany (also has initial passive radar ( ESM ) guidance) TLVS (PAC-3 MSE, IRIS-T SL missiles) (Germano-American) land-based SHORAD/MRAD system Length. Type. Of particular concern was the lack of thrust vectoring to aid manoeuvrability in close-in air combat. Building on its predecessors, IRIS-T is characterized by significantly increased maneuverability and firing zones. Germany. To prove the capabilities of IRIS-T SL, jet target drones of different sizes were used performing a large variety of realistic evasive maneuvers. The IDAS variant is a navalized version of the missile, is also being developed for the new Type 212 submarine of the German Navy. The highly agile IRIS-T guided missiles are to protect soldiers and infrastructure against missile, aircraft and attack helicopters. As the RBS15 was developed to help defend the small and neutral Sweden, with a strategic location and very close proximity to potential aggressors, it is perfectly suited to any country in the Baltic region. | weapons_science |

The Advantage Tactical Firefly front sight inserts, the newest Advantage Tactical product, incorporate the latest chemical and manufacturing technology to produce glow in darkness. The Firefly night sight upgrade will swap out with any of our standard nylon front sight inserts, for all of our products. The Fireflies come two per package -- one in the yellow spectrum and one in the green spectrum.
Firefly insert upgrades will glow for many hours with a short exposure to a strong light source, for example: 1 minute of strong sunlight exposure for an 8+ hour glow; positioning the firefly 1” to 2” from a 75 watt lamp for 90 seconds for a 6 hour glow. In addition, when the glow has finally diminished after many hours, just two seconds of a tactical light will bring back the glow for another 90 minutes or so. Once charged, casual exposure to some ambient, will increase glow time duration. The Fireflies never wear out or lose their glow capabilities. One may expect decades of use with the Firefly, along with unwaning glow times.
1ST PLACE IN INDEPENDENT LAW ENFORCEMENT TEST:
"We asked Advantage Tactical for a set for their sights to test and evaluate for a scheduled equipment upgrade of our duty pistols. After a thorough, several month evaluation and comparison of the Advantage Tactical Sight with the products of several other sight makers, we found the Advantage Tactical Sight to be the most superior in all but one of test criteria. The Advantage Tactical Sight was the most visible in most lighting situations, including diminished ambient light, it was the fastest sight to acquire in tactical situations, the most accurate sight of the group, the easiest to teach new and/or less experienced personnel to use, and the most durable. The only drawback was the inability to see the Advantage Tactical Sight in extremely darkened situations. It is our recommendation that we complete the upgrade of our duty guns to the Advantage Tactical Sight."

It was used during a two-day training session with the aim of “measuring the added value of robots in combat action,” said school commandant Jean-Baptiste Cavalier.
The exercises aimed to get students thinking about how robots might be deployed in future combat situations. The students designed three offensive and defensive missions, with Spot used primarily for reconnaissance. The scenarios were performed by students first without and then with the aid of the robots. Other bots deployed were a remote-controlled tank-like vehicle called OPTIO-X20 armed with a cannon and Barakuda, an armor-plated wheeled drone designed to provide cover to advancing soldiers.
The robots reportedly slowed the operation down but kept troops safer, with one soldier saying he died in the first exercise without Spot, but survived the second time thanks to the robot’s reconnaissance. Battery life was supposedly an issue, as Spot ran out of juice in the middle of one exercise.
The robots were loaned to the army by European distributor Shark Robotics and Nexter Group, according to a tweet by the military school Saint-Cyr Coëtquidan. However, Spot manufacturer Boston Robotics had no knowledge of the deployment, a spokesperson told The Verge.
Some of Boston Dynamics early robots including Atlas were funded by the US military’s DARPA arm, but the company has slowly moved away from its military ties. The company’s current terms and conditions bar them from being used to “to harm or intimidate any person or animal, as a weapon, or to enable any weapon.”
Still, Boston Robotics isn’t necessarily against using robots to take soldiers out of harm’s way, the company said, and is still evaluating that idea of using robots for reconnaissance and other more passive duties. The company’s rival Ghost Robotics’ Spot-like bots have already been deployed by the US Army to patrol Air Force installations. | weapons_science |

In a statement, the Houthis said the unmanned aircraft was shot down by the anti-aircraft defense system “while carrying out hostile activities, monitoring and spying on the airspace of Yemeni territorial waters, as part of American military support to the Israeli entity.”
It is estimated that the cost of a new MQ-9 Reaper is around US$30 million (R$147 million, at current prices).
This was the aircraft used by the US to kill Iranian Revolutionary Guard commander Qasem Soleimaniin January 2020, in Baghdad, capital of Iraq.
According to the rebels, the “hostile movements” of the United States will not prevent them from continue attacks towards Israelas they have done in recent weeks, in support of the terrorist group Hamas.
To date, there is no confirmation from the US Air Force regarding the drone’s interception. A US official, however, told Al Jazeera television that the military was already aware of the event.
This is not the first time that Houthi rebels have shot down this model of aircraft in Yemen. In August and June 2019, they managed to shoot down two MQ-9 Reapers.
The MQ-9 Reaper is a remotely piloted aircraft used primarily for intelligence gathering and for strike and reconnaissance missions.
It has a wingspan of 20.1 m, 11 m in length and 3.8 m in height. It has an empty weight of 2,223 kg and can reach a maximum takeoff weight of 4,760 kg. The Reaper is equipped with multi-spectrum sensors, including infrared and TV cameras for targeting purposes.
It can carry a variety of weaponry such as AGM-114 Hellfire missiles and GBU-12 Paveway II bombs. Furthermore, it has a flight range of up to 3,000 km and can reach altitudes of up to 15 km. The maximum speed is 445 km/h.
In the countries where it is used — the US, UK, Italy, France and Spain — the MQ-9 Reaper plays a crucial role in intelligence gathering and supporting military operations, providing high-precision surveillance and strike capabilities. | weapons_science |

The Army said Monday that it would replace the Leopard 2A1 with a “new model” armored vehicle it will make available to the Army next year.
The decision comes amid growing concern about the aging Leopard 2, which the Army has long wanted to replace, and concerns that the vehicle is out of date.
The Army had planned to sell the vehicle to the U of T in 2019, but a new contract with the company was canceled after the Army announced it would purchase the vehicle instead.
The U.N. Security Council will hold an emergency meeting next week to discuss the situation, according to a U.P.A. statement.
The Leopard 2 is one of two U. S. Army vehicles currently being used by the Army.
The other is the M113 armored personnel carrier, which is being phased out as the Army considers replacing it. | weapons_science |

I will then analyse the impact of its latest nuclear tests and the worldwide condemnation of the same. Radionuclide Monitoring is the smoking gun which establishes beyond all doubt that a nuclear weapon was tested and enables an analysis of the nature of the weapon tested.
As explained earlier North Korea adheres to Juche ideology of complete self reliance and external intervention. North Korea conducts its first underground nuclear test. Analysts believe this missile could be a two-stage version of the Hwasong, and may have a possible range of more than 10, km, allowing it to hit New York.
Democracy in North Korea is associated only to Kim family and no opposition is tolerated.
North Korea has previously threatened to fire missiles at the waters around Guam, in response it says to the US flying bomber aircraft over the Korean peninsula. The discord at a regional forum in Singapore was the latest reminder of the difficulties that have long impaired efforts to negotiate an end to North Korea's nuclear and missile programmes, despite commitments made at an unprecedented summit between U.
In the South Korean government assessed that North Korea could have between 2, and 5, tons of chemical weapons, potentially one of the largest stockpiles on Earth.
The amount of plutonium and uranium in possession of North Korea is still unknown. Although Pompeo has been leading U. China thinks that sensitive border issue is a greater concern rather than North Korean Nuclear problem.
Small quantities of plutonium were separated there in from Soviet-supplied irradiated fuel.
These are usually built for old people to get used to technology storing only a set of numbers to call. The Test On the morning of 9 October North Korea informed the Chinese government that they should expect a four kiloton nuclear test.
The Soviet Union assisted the Koreans to initiate their nuclear programme in by training their scientist with the knowledge of nuclear technology.
However they have no games, applications to install or other ways people can exploit the computer tracking device you carry round with you most of the day - your smart phone.
North Korea begins reverse engineering these missiles and reproducing them with its very own missile-building infrastructures. This is an important fact which will allow for the comparison of the seismic signals of this test with those of the earlier tests.
North Korea test fires a ballistic missile that analysts say would bring Alaska within its reach. Trump posted a note on Twitter on Thursday thanking Kim for returning the remains of U. But two tests in July of the Hwasong missile demonstrated even greater potential, possibly giving North Korea its first truly intercontinental ballistic missile ICBM.
North Korea announces that it is no longer bound to its five-year moratorium on long-range missile tests. At that point, the U.The White House said any talks with North Korea must lead to an end to its nuclear programme after senior officials from Pyongyang visiting South Korea said on Sunday their government was open to.
1 August: North Korea agrees to six-way talks on its nuclear programme, South Korea confirms. The US, Japan, China and Russia will also be involved. 27–29 August: Six-nation talks in Beijing on North Korea's nuclear programme.
The meeting fails to bridge the gap between Washington and Pyongyang.
North Korea's claim last week that it had tested an unidentified "ultramodern tactical weapon" highlighted its desire to upgrade its conventional arms and reassure its military even as talks are under way to end its nuclear programme, analysts said.

As a gun owner, former soldier and person raised on a farm where hunting supplemented the food budget, I find NRA propaganda is mythic in proportion.
If "guns don't kill people ..." it stands to reason that they don't save people, either, because, as the National Rifle Association says, they're inanimate objects.
The recent Waffle House shooting and the shooting of Rep. Gabby Giffords and her Arizona constituents show that you don't need "a good guy with a gun" to stop a "bad guy with a gun." In these instances, unarmed bystanders stopped the carnage. The Arizona shooter was thwarted by an old woman who knocked the fresh magazine away while the shooter was tackled by another bystander.
In shootings, seconds count. If the shooter takes time to reload, it's an opportunity for victims to rise up or escape. Of 160 active-shooting incidents, an FBI study found one stopped by a permitted citizen and 21 were stopped by unarmed citizens.
Regulating isn't unconstitutional; the late conservative Justice Scalia opined that guns/ownership can be regulated. Regulations aren't confiscation. Machine guns, automatic weapons, grenades and anti-tank guns, are banned for civilians and haven't ended the Second Amendment. Free speech is First Amendment and is regulated, i.e., You can't yell "Fire!" in a crowded theater. The Constitution doesn't guarantee a right can't be regulated.
A while back, the NRA said: "Obama is going to take your guns!" It didn't happen, but it sure sold a lot of guns for the NRA's biggest constituents (gun manufacturers).
The NRA says the Armalite AR-15 isn't a military weapon and that it is for "deer hunting." The original Armalite AR-15 was developed for the military after a 1957 request by Gen. Willard Wyman, CONARC commander, who wanted a .223 caliber (5.56-millimeter) select-fire rifle weighing 6 pounds when loaded with a 20-round magazine developed for military use. He wanted the 5.56 mm round to penetrate a standard U.S. M1 helmet at 500 yards and have a velocity over the speed of sound, and he wanted it to exceed the body damage ability of the.30 Carbine cartridge. His request resulted in the development of the ArmaLite AR-15 rifle. Eventually, this lead to the fully automatic version: the M16. It isn't for deer hunting; it's for human hunting, and I believe hunting regulations prohibit the use of full metal jacket rounds. Also, the Armalite AR-15 was marketed to law enforcement departments as a "military style tactical weapon."
The reason this weapon is so deadly is the velocity of the bullet and how it tumbles through the body when contact is made.
Let's get passed the propaganda and debate facts. People on terror watch lists, the mentally ill and domestic abusers shouldn't have easy access to gun show weapons. Banning high capacity magazines is common sense. Putting up roadblocks to easy access makes it more likely that a shooter will change his mind or get noticed before they commit carnage. | weapons_science |

If you want an air rifle that has actually lowered audio since you reside in the residential areas, this is the rifle for you. Weather you do not wish to frighten the following squirrel around the corner or you do not want your bothersome neighbors grumbling regarding the noise level of your rifle, the murmur does not dissatisfy. It comes with a built in sound dampener that minimizes the sound by 52 percentages which is really obvious compared to other similar air rifles, and also it is coined as the peaceful gun for a factor it is a well built rifle as well as in my viewpoint is not also light as well as not as well heavy. It has a molded cheek pad on other sides of the weapon for far better security and goal control. Some people have kept in mind that the range is of poor quality nevertheless, I haven’t had numerous issues with it and I procured the range locked in place fairly easily.
When it comes to air rifles precision is essential to me. I constantly want to discharge and hit on my initial shot because occasionally you do not get one more chance, and from a safety point I definitely do not intend to strike any one of my next-door neighbors I have to say the whisper does not dissatisfy in this classification. I had the ability to constantly shoot canisters from a distance of 50 backyards without problem in all. Power is additionally something that I value in an air rifle. After shooting my first 50 shots at my target I realized that some have gone right through the board the penetration was very good as well as I was extremely satisfied. It does pack a punch at 950 feet per second and the recoil stunned me in the beginning. The game murmur is not a rifle I would not recommend to youngsters just beginning in their searching conquests.
The pros of the game are that I could stand up to 50 pellets in the left hand chamber and has an easy and quick tons time. After firing your first 100 shots it clears up in as well as becomes much quieter. The accuracy is nearly perfect from 50 lawns away and at 100 yards could still strike the mark. The disadvantages of the whisper are that it is not really matched for children as well as once more; it takes a while to clear up in regarding the noise degrees. It is just one of the very best air rifle on the marketplace for the rate. I would definitely advise this rifle to any individual that desires a quiet and also effective air rifle. | weapons_science |

One of the things that really impressed me right off the bat was that it came very sharp right out of the box. This knife is advertised to handle all kinds of jobs and to take one hell of a beating, Cold Steel has said that the Pocket Bushman is practically bulletproof.
Cold Steel Pocket Bushman Features:
- 4 1/2″ Plain Edge Blade
- Ram Safe Lock
- Surprisingly Large Knife
- Stainless Bead Blast Handle
- Lanyard Hole
- Pocket Clip
- Slim Profile
- Good Weight – Size Ratio
- Dual Thumb Studs
The blade is constructed of Krupp 4116 stainless steel and comes very sharp right out of the box, this blade really maintains a good edge. I’ve taken my Pocket Bushman into the wilderness quite a few times and it stayed sharp even after some serious abuse.
The locking mechanism on this knife is very interesting. The ‘ram safe’ design provides one of the most secure locks I’ve ever seen, it’s rock tight.
To close the blade you need to release the lock by pulling down on the lanyard which slides the locking bar open, you can then pull out the blade. This knife definitely takes some effort to close, even with two hands but I have noticed that as you break it in the motion becomes smoother.
The handle on this knife is quite interesting as well, especially in the way it works together with the Ram Safe locking mechanism. It is created from 1 piece of folded 420 stainless steel and has a good looking bead blasted finish.
Our Pocket Bushman Review Revealed Some Issues:
“The notion that a heavy hunting knife can do the work of a hatchet Is a delusion. When it comes to cleaving carcasses, chopping kindling, blazing thick-barked trees, driving tent pegs or trap stakes, and keeping up a bivouac fire, a knife never was made that will compare with a good tomahawk.”Horace Kephart - Camping and Woodcraft
A large part of being an effective outdoor survivalist is using your tools for what they were designed. I think Cold Steel did themselves a disservice by marketing the Pocket Bushman as “indestructible”. This knife will never be able to take the place of a good machete or axe, and you shouldn’t expect it to.
Cold Steel Pocket Bushman Review
As long as you have realistic expectations about the durability of this knife you should have a good experience. If you want a bulletproof survival knife, you should really go with a fixed blade.
- Good Value For The Price
- Very Sharp Right Out of the Box
- Updated Design to Fix the Weak Points
- Large Blade
- Ergonomic Handle
- Stiff Lock Needs Breaking In
- Poor Marketing Leads to Unrealistic Expectations | weapons_science |

The gladiator wears equipment very similar to that of a Roman soldier. On his helmet (the Cassis or Galea), note the horsehair plume (not normally worn when in battle) and the sidepiece that shields his cheek and neck. On his upper body he wears a breastplate that is made of strips of overlapping iron held together by leather. On his upper right arm an armband is visible.
In his left hand he holds a typical elongated but curved shield (scutum). These were made out of pieces of pressed wood and were curved so as to deflect the blows of missiles and blows directed at the soldier. Note the projecting "knob" (= umbo). This protected the gladiator's left hand and it could be thrust at the head of an opponent.
In his right hand he holds the 18 in. [0.5 m.] standard short sword called a gladius. The gladius was used in a thrusting, not slashing, fashion. On his left leg his greave covers his shin and his sandal is clearly visible.
Compare the imagery used in Ephesians 6:11–17: "Put on the full armor of God . . . so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground . . . with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace . . . take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God."

There has been a long history of extremely close cooperation between North Korea and Iran, and it would be naive to assume that Iran has been struggling for nuclear status without outside help.
Smith's article should be read in its entirety, and is not overly technical or boring in any way. In fact, it's of vital interest. A few of his observations:
"The White House and President Obama’s supporters insist that he’s making his first trip to Israel next month to assure the Jewish state that if push comes to shove with Iran, he’ll have Israel’s back. But North Korea’s nuclear test Tuesday morning could indicate that it’s already too late for that. If North Korea has the bomb, then for all practical purposes Iran does, too. If that’s so, then Obama’s policy of prevention has failed, and containment—a policy that the president has repeatedly said is not an option—is in fact all Washington has.
"If this sounds hyperbolic, consider the history of extensive North Korean-Iranian cooperation on a host of military and defense issues, including ballistic missiles and nuclear development, that dates back to the 1980s. This cooperation includes North Korean sales of technology and arms, like the BM-25, a missile capable of carrying a nuclear warhead and reaching Western Europe; Iran’s Shahab 3 missile is based on North Korea’s Nodong-1 and is able to reach Israel. Iran has a contingent of Iranian weapons engineers and defense officials stationed in North Korea. Meantime, North Korean scientists visit Iran. And last fall, both countries signed a memorandum of understanding regarding scientific, academic, and technological issues.
"Given all this, there’s a great deal of concern that, as one senior U.S. official told the New York Times, 'the North Koreans are testing for two countries.'”
This all makes sense, and only adds to what we know of Iran's own internal development program, as described by Benjamin Netanyahu last September at the United Nations. But Netanyahu might not have been considering the North Korean "wild card" in his warning.
Both Netanyahu and Smith have given us ample reason to assume that Iran will soon be a fully nuclear power - - - if it's not already. But the President of the United States, despite his constant remarks to the contrary (which are merely his successful attempts to secure the Jewish vote), despises Israel, and it is hard to imagine that he'd lose any sleep if Iran incinerated the country.
Smith concludes, accurately and pithily: "If this is the case, Obama will go down in history as the American president who presided over global nuclear proliferation, including rogue regimes. After four years of restraining the Israelis, he may now be going to visit them next month for a good reason: to apologize."
But he won't apologize, of course. When Israel stands naked in the face of her enemies - - - now including the United States - - - he'll smirk, just as his predecessor would have done. | weapons_science |

This is where the two paths diverge. With the discovery of nuclear fission both countries started nuclear programs, but the amount of resources dedicated to them varied greatly. In the US, the program started slowly. At the start of the program the idea of a nuclear weapon was a distant thought. In a letter written to Winston Churchill by Bohr in 1944, he recalls that a few years prior the idea of a complete and functioning bomb was a “fantastic dream” (Bohr Letter). Allied British scientists thought that the bomb wouldn’t be a weapon of this war, but one for the future due to the vast amount of resources needed to produce it. The American’s estimated the costs of the project to be much lower than they actually were when the project was complete. This misplaced optimism may have played a part in their decision to put what is now equivalent to $30 billion dollars into the creation of these weapons. This project was never guaranteed to pay off, and putting this enormous of an effort into something during wartime is a big risk. The German nuclear project was run differently. Instead of focusing only on a nuclear weapon, the Germans set out to harness all facets of nuclear power, including nuclear energy. This meant that the already limited resources of a country at war were to be spread even thinner, making the bomb even less of a priority for Germany (Walker 24-25). | weapons_science |

Equipped with an explosive charge, they can come to threaten bases or convoys by thwarting enemy surveillance equipment. Complex urban environments, where many civilians live, make the task of air defenses even more difficult.
In order to effectively combine anti-drone control and population protection – thus avoiding firearms or explosives – the US military has devised the Mobile Force Protection Program (MFP). The main objective of the MFP is to protect “high value” convoys. Developed for four years by the Agency for Defense Advanced Research Projects (Darpa), the MFP employs defense drones that manage to neutralize the target by firing coils into its propellers to cause it to fall.

Darpa a ad on June 7 that the development of the program was coming to an end; the MFP should therefore soon be deployed on a larger scale. This mobile defense system is based above all on an X-band radar – super-high frequency – which automatically detects threatening drones. “The radar then associates targets with specific interceptors through an automated decision engine linked to a command and control system, which initiates and guides the interceptors with two types of drone countermeasures, while still being moving and without operator intervention, ”explains Darpa.
The launch of stringy coils constitutes the main mode of interception: these projectiles make it possible to temporarily block the propulsion of the targeted drone to make it fall. Above all, interception drones, fired from a moving vehicle, can be reused later. The MFP was unveiled in partnership with the defense company Dynetics, based in Alabama.
“Because we focus on protecting mobile resources, the program has focused on solutions with a small footprint in terms of size, weight and power,” said Gregory Avicola, MFP program manager at of the Darpa Tactical Technology Office. “It also makes it possible to have more affordable systems and fewer operators.”
The federal state has allocated an envelope of 12 and 4.3 million dollars for the development of the program over the fiscal years 2020 and 2021, or approximately 10.2 and 3.5 million euros.
