Paul Pryce discusses some of the new resources and capabilities being obtained by the Canadian Coast Guard and Canadian Hydrographic Service. Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), also known as drones, are an important tool for armed forces. After years of setback, Canada’s Armed Forces have finally purchased drone technology. Elise Wagner discusses how Canada got to this important milestone of modern warfare. The Canadian Department of National Defence (DND) is looking at bolstering its contributions to the joint US-Canada North American Aerospace Defence Command (NORAD). The Pentagon is open to Canada’s playing an increased role in the Arctic, particularly in the fields of multi-sensor systems for detecting incoming ballistic missiles, ships and aircraft.

Written by Paul Beamont. “It will not be independent and it will not be British and it will not deter”, ran the Labour slogan before the 1964 election. They might also have added “and we cannot afford it”. For as long as Britain has been in the nuclear club, it has been haunted by this alternative nuclear story. By this reading, Britain’s nuclear weapons are the longest running white elephant project in the nation’s history; the “lace curtains” hiding Britain’s diminished status in the world and about as militarily useful as a “comfort blanket”. The trouble for consecutive British governments, many of whom have been emotionally quite attached to the elephant, is that this alternative story is quite plausible. Indeed, because nuclear weapons work by not being used (deterrence), there is no way to empirically debunk the suspicion that for all the “continuous at sea deterrence” Britain’s nukes are said to be doing, they may not have deterred anything at all. Yet by the same token, anti-nuclearises can never prove that deterrence has not worked. Thus, Britain’s nuclear policy – as well as that of other states performing nuclear deterrence – can sustain indefinitely two logically consistent but contradictory narratives about what their nuclear weapons do and have done. I explore the political consequences of this nuclear conundrum with my new book, Performing Nuclear Weapons: How Britain Made Trident Make Sense. Putting Britain’s competing nuclear histories into motion I undertake a close analysis of Britain’s nuclear stories from Margaret Thatcher’s fight to acquire the Trident nuclear weapon system in the 1980s, to Tony Blairs renewal of Britain’s nukes in the 2000s. Rather than take sides in the debate, arguing for or against the value of Britain’s weapons, the book explores a different question: how did consecutive governments maintain the idea that its nuclear weapons are a legitimate, desirable and a sensible way to spend scarce resources? Or put differently, how have consecutive British governments succeeded in marginalizing the counter-narrative demanding nuclear disarmament? ` How Britain makes its bombs make sense By answering these how questions and studying nuclear maintenance as a process, the book breaks with the conventional approach of asking why states go nuclear or not. While various answers to why states acquire nuclear weapons have been posited, these explanations typically ignore the ongoing processes of legitimation that keep the weapons in service: how these reasons are constructed, maintained, re-modelled, reified and sometimes discarded. Performing Nuclear Weapons does not dispute any one of these explanations per se but contends that governments have considerable power in producing the security, status, and domestic meanings that enable the maintenance of their nuclear weapons. Indeed, because nuclear weapons are represented to “work” by not being used, deterrence discourse grants a peculiar flexibility in representing nuclear weapons’ benefits. However, it also has a flip side. In the absence of proven “effects”, the positive meanings attached to nuclear weapons also require skillful storytelling to remain salient, avoid decay and thus enable maintenance. Indeed, look closely, and it becomes clear that several of the axioms that underpin Britain’s nuclear rationale require considerable imagination and careful narration to become plausible, let alone accepted. For instance, Thatcher was fond of claiming that Britain’s “nuclear deterrent has not only kept the peace, but it will continue to preserve our independence.” Here, Thatcher was reiterating the junior British variant of the “nuclear peace” narrative: the common refrain that it was only nuclear deterrence that kept the Cold War from turning hot. Yet, the only proof available to support this claim is absence and thus this story relies upon conjuring up a hypothetical Soviet invasion. Nevertheless, by the 2000s, Britain’s nuclear peace had solidified into common sense within British politics. Even anti-nuclearists sometimes reproduce it, for instance, when they argue that nuclear weapons are no longer needed. Another key trope underpinning British governments nuclear maintenance is that they serve as an “insurance policy”. The metaphor works by harnessing every-day associations with prudence and eliding that activating nuclear insurance would not result in Britain receiving any compensation only undertaking war crimes. Yet, instead of arguing that Britain’s nuclear peace is a myth or that the insurance metaphor is wrong, my book explores the function of these representations within Britain’s grand nuclear narratives and what evidence needs to be presented and alternative readings obscured in order to keep them in currency. Indeed, systematically forgetting that correlation is not causation is only one of several plot lines of the UK’s nuclear era, which my book contends have been necessary to keeping Britain’s nuclear boats afloat. Studying national nuclear stories elsewhere While I zoom in on the work Britain has had to put in to find and maintain a compelling nuclear story, my book suggests that we should conduct similar analyses of all nuclear-armed states. Indeed, strip away security scholars’ conventional assumptions about nuclear weapons deterrence value, and a research agenda-defining international puzzle emerges. Only nine nuclear weapon-armed states exist, while 183 get by without nuclear weapons, and most seem quite content with their non-nuclear status. Moreover, at least 50 countries have the technical capability to build nuclear weapons yet only nine have chosen to do so. Rather than chomping at the bit to join the nuclear club, most non-nuclear weapons states have instead imposed stricter limitations on their ability to develop nuclear weapons. Indeed, going beyond the measures that are required by the Non-Proliferation Treaty, in July 2017, 122 states voluntarily adopted the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons. Considering that non-nuclear security is the norm, instead of pondering why non-nuclear weapons states have not acquired the bomb (as security scholars prone to), it would make more sense to consider the few states that maintain such unpopular, yet expensive weapons to be the puzzle. Systematically studying the stories states tell about their nuclear weapons would contribute to the growing transnational movement calling for a nuclear weapon free world (NWFW). Indeed, since the 1990s all the nuclear weapons states have ostensibly subscribed to the goal of a NWFW. Thus, each will necessarily need to perform its own rhetorical gymnastics to both justify their own weapons while simultaneously lamenting their existence. How states can keep on squaring this circle warrants sustained academic attention. Indeed, I hold that investigating each country’s specific nuclear stories – relentlessly poking and prodding at their assumptions and silences – would offer critical insights into each country’s relationship to its nuclear weapons and how their value is maintained within domestic politics. In turn, this could only help the international disarmament agenda unsettle the peculiar national nuclear narratives that enable nuclear weapons maintenance and inhibit disarmament. To be clear, this process will not reveal the anti-nuclearists to be necessarily correct. However, it should help reduce nuclear governments to their correct epistemological status: professional storytellers, opening up a space for alternative stories that might lead to a nuclear weapon free world. In other words, such studies might help nuclear states worry more, and learn to stop loving their bombs. Read more at Forsvaretsforum.no. Beaumont’s new book Performing Nuclear Weapons: How Britain Made Trident Make Sense is based on his Master’s thesis, Performing nuclear peace : how nuclear weapons have kept Britain great from Thatcher to Blair, completed at Noragric in 2015. Beaumont went on to complete a doctorate on international hierarchies at Noragric before joining NUPI as a Senior Research Fellow.

BLACK WITH A VENGEANCE From the same great minds that brought you the Black By Popular Demand collection, comes... BLACK WITH A VENGEANCE. An MJJ Made collection of DLC-treated luxury watches that sport a military-themed style and stealth swagger. Black With A Vengeance is a limited edition, custom-made collection of 40 pieces that sits within the MJJ BLACKOUT range. Only 10 pieces of each of the 4 Rolex models are to be released. With the engraving of the limited edition number out of 10 on the reverse of the watch case. Each watch in the collection is named after the military machine that inspired its design: ROLEX AIR KING "NIGHTHAWK" Lockheed F-117 Nighthawk - A single-seat, twin-engine jet fighter-bomber known for its radar-evading stealthiness. The first stealth attacker created that could avoid radar detection. With a triangular outline, sharp angled wings, and a surface composed of many flat planes - angled to reflect radar waves away from their transmitter. Surface coatings of radar-absorbing material further reduced radar detection so that a Nighthawk showed up no larger than a common marble on a radar scan. ROLEX EXPLORER II "ARMAGEDDON" Arma - A 6x6 or 8x8 amphibious and configurable armoured combat vehicle. With high level ballistic and mine protection due to its high hardness monocoque steel hull. Being a modular multi-wheeled vehicle that can run on land and sea, ARMA boasts superior mobility. As well as high mine and ballistic protection, due to its hardened monocoque steel hull. And a wide range of weapon integration options. All meaning that ARMA is capable to serve in the most difficult terrain and climatic conditions. ROLEX SUBMARINER "VENGEANCE" Equipped with thermonuclear warheads, HMS Vanguard is a nuclear-powered submarine whose role is to carry the Trident ballistic missile system. Shrouded in mystery, due to the secret nature of Vengeance’s mission, little is known about its whereabouts and activities. And with constant power and the ability to produce its own water and oxygen, Vengeance’s patrols could, in theory, last for months or even years at a time without the need to surface. ROLEX DAYTONA "GHOST" CV90120-T “Ghost” is the latest version of the CV90120-T medium tank (as described by BAE Systems). It features a new Compact Tank Gun and BAE Systems latest camouflage technology - ADAPTIV. A modular system of cell-shaped armour that enables the projection of images and thermal heat, allowing the tank to mimic its surrounding settings and objects. This camouflage has proven so effective at making the vehicle invisible to hostile thermal and imaging systems that international media has the dubbed the CV90120-T - “Ghost”. Each of the watches in the Black With A Vengeance collection boasts an MJJ Made bespoke dial that has been designed and created in-house, for the ultimate covert front. And the bracelets, clasps, cases and shoulders have been custom treated with a DLC treatment in a matte black finish. "Our new BLACKOUT collection has been a year in the making. From the R&D stage, through to the creation and quality testing, we've taken every precaution, every innovative step to create the best DLC coated collection on the luxury watch market. - Or at least we think it is, because MJJ's brand DNA has been infused into every single aspect of each watch" Matthew Jones - Founder & CEO of MJJ Exclusive

Developed on Artio for use by terrestrial police forces, kinetic bullets are uniquely powered ammunition fired from pistols designed and programmed to only work with rounds activated on the same charging device. While the guns are relatively easy to reverse engineer and duplicate, the secret to the kinetic rounds is a tightly held Arthyrian secret, making the pistols all but useless, beyond being a simple blunt object away from Artio. The Kinetic rounds are made of a secret alloy of metals some of which are unique to Artio, manufactured to very fine 3mm width. The alloy is ignited by kinetic energy, an electric charge begins the firing process, and then the round builds power as it passes through the barrel. The weapons have a range varying between 35 and 90 meters depending on the weapon used. Some guns can produce a larger change which provides greater range. But the most common pistol on Artio, the Calabolg 873, commonly known as the C73, is carried by peace officers and criminals alike across the planet. The power on the C73 can be adjusted; altering the firing range and strength of the wattage a round carries when it strikes an intended target. A factory set C73 can fire, on the low end 25 watts, on the high end 50 watts, and is not intended to be a lethal weapon. However many criminals modify their weapons to fire a charge upwards of 100 watts. What makes the kinetic round particularly effective is that it can continue to draw power from the target. If a person struck with a kinetic round attempts to move, or fight off the bullet, the charge can hold, or even increase with the targets own kinetic energy continuing to power the bullet. A C73 contains a clip that can hold 5000 round of kinetic bullets. The manufacturing process leaves the round inert, they are shipped to law enforcement in this state so that if the shipment is intercepted the rounds will be useless to the thieves. Each department has in its armory a device issued by the manufacture of their weapons that activates the rounds, 4 cases at a time. In this process, the rounds are given a specific electronic signal that will limit those bullets to only work with the weapons being charged by the same device. Criminal organizations will often have their over charging apparatus, or have bribed enough of the local constabulary to make use of their device. The largest draw back of the C73 is that if the kinetic round passes through the body of the intended target, while leaving damage, it does not have the debilitating effect it would have if lodged in the targets body. Most law enforcement officers are trained to aim for fleshy parts of the body to prevent this unfortunate outcome.

Dhaka, Dec 22 (IANS) Bangladesh will buy two submarines worth $203.3 million from China to strengthen its navy, media reported. Bangladesh has finalised a deal to purchase two Ming-class submarines, The New Age reported Saturday. The submarines would strengthen the navy’s ability to protect the country’s resources, officials, who remained unidentified, were quoted as saying. They added that the deal would cost Bangladesh $203.3 million and awaits the finance ministry approval. The type 035G diesel-electric run submarines are scheduled to be delivered in 2019, according to the daily. Earlier in January this year, Armed Forces Division principal staff officer Lieutenant General Abu Belal Muhammad Shafiul Huq said the deal to procure the submarines was under negotiation. Seventeen sailors are receiving training on how to operate submarines and the navy has acquired land in Kutubdia Island in Cox’s Bazaar to set up a submarine base, the report said.

"Naval Administration" by Sir Vesey Hamilton, G.C.B. (1896) THE CONTROLLER'S DEPARTMENT, CONTINUED. - THE PROVISION OF NAVAL ARMAMENTS. - THE DIRECTOR OF NAVAL ORDNANCE, AND THE ASSISTANT-DIRECTOR OF TORPEDOES. THE Director of Naval Ordnance, advised and assisted on all torpedo matters by the Assistant-Director of Torpedoes, stands to the Controller in the same light as the Director of Naval Construction and the Engineer-in-Chief; that is to say, he is the head of an independent branch, and is directly responsible to his chief. Yet in all departments of Admiralty work, as the reader will have seen, the duties of branches are so closely inter-related, that no real separation exists, and this is especially true in regard to the Ordnance. A ship being a fighting engine, her guns and torpedoes are a primary consideration with her constructors, and hence in all matters of the design and construction of warships, the Director of Naval Ordnance acts in close consultation with the Director of Naval Construction. So intimate and sustained is the relation of the Ordnance Department to the fleet, that scarcely a case can arise of any considerable repairs to ships in which the Director of that Department is not concerned, either in regard to guns, gun-mountings, magazines, torpedo apparatus, electrical fittings, or other fighting gear. Not only, therefore, in regard to new ships, but to those which call for repair, it is his duty to advise as to their being brought up to a proper standard of gunnery efficiency, and hence estimates for large repairs find the refitting of vessels are invariably sent to him for the expression of his opinion. Yet it is curious to reflect - though the Master of the Ordnance was an officer of high consideration in former times, an Ordnance Department having been in full operation as far back as the days of Henry VIII, and the Board of Ordnance a department common both to the sea and land services, but instituted for the Navy - that the Navy afterwards fell, in this matter, into dependence upon the military, through the work connected with naval gunnery devolving in the last century upon the Master-General of the Ordnance, and the duties of the Board of Ordnance being vested, in 1855, in the Secretary of State for War. Upon this subject a great deal has been said in Parliament and the press. The evil system remained in force until recent times, but has been progressively modified by the appointment, as a responsible officer of the Controller's Department at the Admiralty, of the Director of Naval Ordnance in lieu of the naval officer who formerly advised the Director of Artillery at the War Office; by the gunnery charges being transferred from the Army to the Navy Estimates; and by the institution of the Naval Ordnance Store Department, over which the Director of Naval Ordnance presides, directing a Storekeeper-General, with civil assistants, and ordnance officers at the ports and other establishments. The question of transferring the responsibility for naval armaments from the War Office to the Admiralty, long debated, rose to new prominence in 1868, in relation to the guns for the Hercules, in the provision of which there had been much delay. At that time naval gunnery requirements were provided for in the Army Votes, and in November of each year it was the custom for the Admiralty to furnish to the War Department a list of ships intended to be commissioned in the ensuing financial year (and in three subsequent months) with the detail of their armaments and complements, as well as particulars of the guns which should be completed, or partly completed, to meet the wants of ships, and of the necessary reserve of guns to replace those which became unserviceable. The result was unsatisfactory. In addition to the practice, scarcely sanctioned by the constitution, of charging naval outlay upon army estimates, and yet leaving the administrative direction of the vote in Admiralty hands, the Admiralty itself found grave practical disadvantages, and even danger in the system. The following tabular statement of naval gunnery votes between 1881-82 and 1886-87, compared with the amounts asked for by the Admiralty, will show how disastrously the arrangement affected the public service upon the ground of naval efficiency. Nothing, said the Director of Artillery in 1884, could be more unsatisfactory than the manner in which the naval gun estimates were put forward year after year to be criticised, manipulated, and reduced by the War Office. At the same time the Admiralty was left in ignorance as to the number of rounds in store for the various types of guns in the service, except of those in reserve at the foreign depôts, and the same was the case in regard to fuses, tubes, etc. Neither was there any means of discovering whether the stock of naval material increased or diminished from year to year. Again, no account was given to the Admiralty of the amount actually expended yearly by the War Office on naval guns or other material, nor was there any exact account of the yearly production. No distinction between naval expenditure and army expenditure was made, and the classification presented was admitted on assumption. Although the general system found some defenders among military officers, it was condemned by the naval service, and most of the high officials at the War Office utterly disapproved of it. Lord Cardwell, Sir Henry Storks, Sir G. Balfour, Sir H. Gordon, Sir H. Lefroy, Sir John Adye, Sir F. Campbell, and many more advocated a change, and their views were shared by several Secretaries of State, notably by Mr. Childers, Lord Hartington, and Mr. W.H. Smith. The question of the transfer had been considered by the Royal Commission of 1837 and the Select Committee of 1849, and after 1868 a long correspondence took place between the Admiralty, the War Office, and the Treasury, which it would be tedious to recapitulate (In the report of these inquiries, and in the Appendix to the Fifth Report of the Select Committee on Army and Navy Estimates, 1887, much information upon the subject will be found). On one hand it was urged that both economy and efficiency would result from the change, that divided responsibility must lead to delay, confusion, and danger, that the War Office could not check Admiralty demands, and that the Admiralty, not being directly responsible to Parliament, had no sufficient motive for economy. On the other hand it was argued that a really divided control did not exist, that the relation between the Departments was the same which subsisted between the Admiralty and the Board of Ordnance from early times, that the increase of officials and stores would lead to unnecessary outlay, and that the Admiralty would be looked upon as responsible without having power to control the manufacturing departments which it would be obliged to employ. In order to bring the matter to a settlement, an Inter-Departmental Committee was proposed, and on June 22nd, 1886, representatives of the Admiralty and the War Office met to discuss what the scope of the Committee's inquiry should be. It was afterwards reported to the Treasury that both Departments were strongly of opinion that the divided responsibility should end, that, upon the Navy Estimates, the Admiralty should be alone responsible for procuring the armaments, as well as the other warlike stores required for the use of the Navy, and, further, that the question of the making of naval guns at Woolwich should be settled each year by the two Departments as the necessities of the service might require, and as was already done in regard to gun-mountings, but that neither Department had any intention of creating a second Woolwich purely for naval use. The matter was further considered by the Royal Commission on Warlike Stores, 1887, and the Committee on the Organization of the Army Manufacturing Departments, 1887. The somewhat divergent recommendations of these Committees were not adopted in the form in which they were made. The Ordnance factories were placed under a single head, the Director-General responsible to the military Financial Secretary, instead of being given over to an independent Ordnance Department, and Vote 12 (Ordnance and Warlike Stores) of the Army Estimates was so changed that afterwards the whole cost of naval ordnance and warlike stores was borne upon the Navy Estimates. At the same time the military authorities retained the inspection of warlike stores supplied to the Navy either from the manufacturing departments of the Government or from contractors, and the contracts for such stores were entered into as formerly by the Director of Contracts at the War Office. Save, therefore, for guns obtained by contract, the Director-General of Ordnance Factories is responsible, in regard to the practical work of supply from the Government factories, for both naval and military guns, while the Director of Artillery at the War Office is instructed to "control the Ordnance Committee," a body composed of naval and military officers and civilians, which is held directly responsible, save in special cases, for the design of all guns for Her Majesty's services. This last arrangement presents some peculiarities, and its tendency seems to be to render real responsibility in the matter indefinite. "The Admiralty," said Sir Frederick Richards, in his memorandum attached to the Further Report of the Hartington Commission on the Internal Administration of the War Office, "object to their officers, who are members of the Committee, being responsible for designs, so that the question as to the responsibility for designs of ordnance is decidedly complicated." The result of the dispositions thus taken was to make the business of the provision of naval guns in the nature of purchase and supply as between the naval and military departments. Full satisfaction has not resulted from the changes. Thus Sir Frederick Richards, in the memorandum referred to, said that a careful study of the evidence before the Commission, oral and documentary, had convinced him that the system of the Ordnance Department was already condemned, being altogether unsuited to the magnitude, variety, and vast importance of the duties to be administered. He advocated a step which had been forcibly urged by the Admiralty upon the Treasury in May, 1887. "Enough, and more than enough, is to be found to show, not only that the Ordnance Department is in its constitution defective, but that it is altogether too big a business to be worked as a weak division of the War Office administration, and that there is no remedy applicable to the case short of the re-establishment of the Ordnance as an independent Department of State on a scale commensurate with its importance, and under a separate roof." Since these words were spoken the Naval Ordnance Department has been established (1891) at the Admiralty, charged with the business and custody of ordnance stores and the duty of maintaining munitions of war for the Navy at all naval stations. Such is the recent history of the supply of guns to the Navy. It will be seen that, in the discretion of the Admiralty, they are procured either from the Government factories, which are directed by an official of the War Office, or by contract from private firms. In practice, large numbers of guns are obtained from both sources. The Controller of the Navy is responsible that her Majesty's ships shall be well constructed as fighting engines, duly supplied with guns, carriages, slides, gunnery stores, small arms, accoutrements, etc., and fitted with, proper magazines, shell-rooms, turrets, mountings, and other gear, as well as with torpedoes, torpedo stores, and fittings. Further, in the gunnery branch, he has supervision of gunnery and torpedo drill and practice, submarine defences, the gunnery work of coast batteries, etc. I have shown how, as the Controller's responsible officer, the Director of Naval Ordnance collaborates with the Director of Naval Construction and the Engineer-in-Chief, in the design of warships. It is his principal duty to advise the Controller on all questions concerning the ordnance and torpedo material of the Navy, relating either directly or indirectly to the design, construction, repairing, or fitting of ships, their guns, gun-mounts, torpedoes, and carriages, and the electric fittings connected with armament, as well as concerning magazines and shell-rooms, and every arrangement necessary for the proper and efficient working and maintenance of the armament. As advances are made in gun-construction, or otherwise, it is his duty to advise the Controller as to such changes in the armament of ships as he deems advisable. Upon all questions concerned with the mounting of guns and torpedoes he consults with the Director of Naval Construction, and drawings and specifications of these are signed by both officers. In relation to the practical work of gun-construction, and of warlike material supplied by the War Department, the Director of Naval Ordnance is in personal communication with the Director of Artillery at the War Office, and he communicates directly with the captains of the gunnery ships and torpedo schools on ordnance and torpedo subjects. Another duty is to prepare and submit for approval the estimates for the material of his Department during the ensuing financial year. I have made allusion above to the Assistant-Director of Torpedoes. This officer is the assistant of the Director of Naval Ordnance, to advise upon all torpedo matters. The appointment is a comparatively recent one, made necessary by the introduction of a new arm into the fleet. Whatever concerns torpedo armament falls within the purview of the Assistant-Director, and it is his especial care to watch diligently the developments of torpedo warfare, and to keep himself informed of all inventions that concern his work, into the merits of which lie must diligently inquire. Practically, he sees that all ships are provided with torpedoes, torpedo carriages, fittings, search-light apparatus, and the necessary torpedo stores approved, as well as to the provision and readiness for service of the proper reserve stores at torpedo depots, so that there may be no depletion; and he advises the Director of Naval Ordnance as to experimental and instructional work in the torpedo school ships. He watches the progress of expenditure in his branch of armament, superintends the carrying out of work, and visits torpedo depots and factories, so as to gain personal acquaintance with it, or to witness trials and experiments with torpedo material. He is thus in a position, according to his instructions, to advise in regard to the design of ships and boats touching torpedo armament and electrical fittings, and the equipping of torpedo boats and destroyers with, all requirements for their special services. In addition to these and other associated duties, the Assistant-Director is prepared when called upon to submit plans for torpedo-boat exercises and manoeuvres, suggesting the special points that need to be worked out, as well also as for submarine mining practice; and he is the channel through which much information concerning torpedo questions reaches the Intelligence Department. The Assistant-Director of Torpedoes is instructed in general to consult personally with the Directors of branches of the Controller's Department, but the Director of Naval Ordnance remains primarily responsible for the whole work of the gunnery branch. In concluding this account of the Ordnance work under the Controller, it remains to be said that the Director of Naval Ordnance is responsible also to the First Sea Lord to advise upon all questions concerning the gunnery and torpedo training establish merits of the Navy.

It's generally considered to be a solid old rifle. There are a few rare, collectible variants out there, but most of them you'll run across are fairly standard with no premium placed on the value. It filled the same role for the Russian infantry (and a handful of other countries) that the M1903 Springfield did in the USA, the M98 Mauser for Germany or the Enfield 303 did for Canada, Australia and the UK. If it's still in it's original chambering it fires the 7.62x54R, which ballistically is comparable to the 30-06. It's a bit longer and more unwieldy and the action isn't quite as smooth and fast as it's aforementioned counterparts, but they're still not a bad piece of hardware, assuming you get one in good working order. Accuracy is not usually considered as high as the others either, but don't tell Vasily Zaitsev. In reality, between all these rifles I mentioned you'll see a much bigger difference in speed and accuracy based on who is shooting it, than which rifle they're shooting. In the early and mid 90s, there was a massive importation of foreign military surplus SKS rifles, and they could be had all over the place for $99. In the late 90s and early 2000s, the M96 Swedish Mauser in 6.5x55mm was the new kid on the block. It's numbers weren't as high as the SKS, and ammo was never as plentiful or cheap, but the prices on the rifles were low enough to get some decent quantities of them onto the US market. Most of the big stockpiles of those two have now been exhausted, so they fetch slightly higher prices now. These days the Nugget (short for Moist Nugget, a nickname of the Mosin Nagant) is the big item the importers are banking on. Early in the boom, you could get them as low as $49, although for several years the prices remained fairly stable between $79 and $129. Those prices assumed they were in functional condition and had at least a halfyway decent bore (many will have some degree of pitting) and proper headspace. If not, the prices were usually lower. Unlike the SKS or M96, most of these surplus Russian rifles were heavily used, so the wide price bracket was a reflection of the varying grades that were available for sale. I haven't checked lately, but it's been imported for enough years now that it wouldn't surprise me if the stockpiles of those are drying up too, which should mean an increase in prices. There are several forums and collector's sites dedicated to these specific rifles. Some can help you identify if your rifle is in it's original configuration, the arsenal and year of it's manufacture, and it's value. I'd suggest doing a search on those sites for more information. Here are a few to get you started:http://7.62x54r.net/MosinID/MosinID.htmhttp://7.62x54r.net/Forums/index.php?board=1.0http://www.mosinnagant.net/***The aforementioned advice was given by an opinionated, half-senile armchair commando and should not be trusted implicitly for it's accuracy.

The Los Alamos Laboratory was a secret laboratory in a remote part of New Mexico established by the Manhattan Project during World War II and operated by the University of California. Its mission was to design and build the first atomic bombs. The laboratory was designing a plutonium gun-type fission weapon called Thin Man until April 1944, when it determined that the nuclear reactor-bred plutonium in the bomb could predetonate before the core was fully assembled. Robert Oppenheimer reorganized the laboratory, and orchestrated an all-out effort on an alternative design, an implosion-type nuclear weapon called Fat Man. The gun-type Little Boy was developed using uranium-235. The laboratory also built an aqueous homogeneous reactor, and researched the hydrogen bomb. The Fat Man design was used in the Trinity nuclear test on 16 July 1945, and laboratory personnel participated in the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki as pit crews, weaponeers and observers. Oppenheimer was succeeded as director by Norris Bradbury in December 1945. After the war, assembly activities moved to Sandia. The Los Alamos Laboratory became the Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory in 1947.

When you will do your very first research and also read the very first Beretta gun reviews you will certainly notice promptly that the Beretta weapons are classified in 3 different kinds: springtime Beretta weapons, electric as well as gas fired weapons. Springtime Beretta guns use a spring to fire the BB and normally are more economical given that they do not utilize gas or electrical power to work They are wonderful if you are an amateur or new to Beretta. Maintain in mind that you will certainly have to cock as well as re-cock the slider each time you shoot.

So, when going through gun Critic, check out exactly how costly is the gas you are going to utilize to power it. Electric guns make use of batteries to attract power from. Typically, a gun will require 4 batteries chargeable batteries are recommended since they do not last long. When it concerns electrical guns, available designs can be divided right into two subcategories: low-powered and high-powered. Low-powered guns are normally just rated at accelerate to 200 fps.

At the height of its popularity, the Roland Special was the subject of much discussion on social media. I brought my Gen 5 G19, swapped the slide onto the 19X frame and fired a few strings of five rounds at varying speeds to get a feel for the “control” fresh in my mind.

Iron Soldier 2 is a first-person 3D giant mech game. Players must pilot their building-sized robots in a variety of missions ranging from search-and-destroy to surgical attacks to defending objectives. Starting with a limited set of weapons, players can collect more armaments throughout the game. Each weapon can be mounted on a certain part of the robot's body, but once mounted, no other weapons can be placed there. So, while there is a wide range of weapon configurations, not every weapon can be combined with others. Players can destroy buildings in levels to find crates containing new weapons and extra ammunition for current weapons.

About 30 employees from Defense Logistics Agency Headquarters and its field activities who are involved in supporting the Department of Defense nuclear mission attended the Nuclear Management Executive Course at Fort Belvoir, Virginia, Nov. 1-2. Taught by a mobile training team from the Air Force Nuclear College at Kirtland Air Force Base, New Mexico, the Secret-level course is designed for individuals involved in supporting nuclear weapons systems through product support, acquisition, sustainment, logistics, maintenance or operations activities. It offers a broad overview of nuclear weapons issues and creates a standard frame of reference for the workforce. Topics range from nuclear weapons management to stockpile guidance and lifecycle planning. “A large portion of our portfolio is the Air Force nuclear enterprise, so this is a great opportunity for our employees to discover what all that encompasses. It helps us understand the customer, and there’s a lot of DoD ramifications, as well,” said Kurt Searfoss of the Nuclear Enterprise Support Office. In January 2015, DLA Director Air Force Lt. Gen. Andy Busch created the NESO under DLA Logistics Operations to demonstrate the agency’s commitment to supporting the nuclear triad of land-based heavy bombers, intercontinental ballistic missiles and submarine-launched ballistic missiles, as well as systems performing National Command and Control functions. The creation of the NESO was a nod to the “enduring” mission of supporting the critical nuclear mission, Rear Adm. Vince Griffith, director of DLA Operations, told the group in his welcoming remarks. The admiral thanked the group not only for taking the time to attend the course, but for what they do day-to-day to help this no-fail mission succeed. DLA has always supported nuclear weapons systems although without the current focused attention, said NESO Deputy Executive Director Terry Simpson. “This course gives those individuals who receive orders, process contracts or buy material a truer understanding of what they’re supporting and gives them an idea of the importance of what they do on a daily basis.” NESO’s 10-member staff synchronizes nuclear support efforts of DLA Headquarters and field activities such as DLA Land and Maritime, DLA Troop Support and DLA Aviation. The team’s goal is to make DLA an integral part of the services’ overall product support strategy as they modernize their aging nuclear assets and acquire new systems like the B-21 Bomber. Supporting a first-ever programmed depot maintenance for the Minuteman III missile system is an example of DLA’s efforts. The Nuclear Management Executive Course is the first such training offered to DLA employees. Based on feedback, NESO is already looking to schedule another course next year. It is also considering offering other training events, Searfoss said.

You can gently fold your automatic knife with a small button that helps you open the knife with a thumb easily. Best materials for folding knives The fact that high-strength steels are hard to wear, certainly but more susceptible to rust and sharpen. Steels with better rust resistance and easy sharpening are more prone to wear and less stiff than the previous ones. Some best materials to make spring assisted and automatic knives: This is a common knife material. Stainless steel is a kind of alloy that is corrosion resistant or don’t rust. Stainless steel is composed of iron and carbon, accompanied by a small amount of elements manganese (Mn), sulfur (S), silicon (Si), and phosphorus (P), chrome ( Cr), Molipden (Mo). The compound of these components make up the steel has a folding knives’ blades that have strength, resistance to corrosion, and rust. High-Carbon Steel has main components of iron and carbon, with outstanding hardness, but compensating for this type of steel, which is not resistant to rust and corrosion. If you need a sturdy high to go to the forest, cutting trees, High-Carbon steel is a perfect suggestion. However, rusting on High-Carbon steel knives is not unusual, so clean and store the knife thoroughly after use. Due to these characteristics of the two materials, they are mostly used to create sharp, strong, and durable blades for spring assisted and automatic knives. Now you have been aware of What is the difference between spring assisted and automatic knives?. Indeed, it is highly convenient to have a folding knife by your side anywhere and anytime. It helps you open a box, cut the rope, or peel and cut apples, etc. Let’s choose a knife either spring assisted or automatic knives that you feel comfortable and safe when taking it with you.

|KA-BAR 1265 Tanto Points, laser engraved | by the great guys at CADD Graphics. Our primary Fighting Blade never, ever cuts anything but an enemy. Period. Full stop. I needed a new primary Fighting Blade. Cold Steel no longer produces the Magnum Tanto, my preferred primary. My Cold Steel was taken from my life more than a decade ago, and I didn't replace it. I surrounded myself with KA-BARs and cheaper Cold Steels, even a few Benchmades. But life has changed, and the need for a new primary Fighting Blade is no longer an option. I studied, I talked to guys who have had blades in battle. I talked to professional fighters and knife makers alike. Randall Knives out of Florida kept coming up in these discussions. I knew of Randall's reputation, rock solid. I find several of their designs appealing to the eye. Several are a good fit in the hand. The Number 1 is a magnificent knife, brilliantly designed for defending life, which is why it has remained essentially unchanged for many generations. I was strongly drawn to the Number 1. Then I had to consider my anticipated future. Where would I be and under what circumstances might I need to draw my steel and defend my life. My work in the III is a serious consideration. I am far more Jedburgh than Rambo. The odds that I will ever be runnin' & gunnin' and potentially over-run by OpFor in the woods are practically nil. The Randall Model 1 and the Randall Bowie designs are ideal for the soldier who may find himself in combat on a deer path or a ghetto alley. I needed a blade designed to defend myself in different circumstances. Then I looked at the Randall Model 2. The design is essentially Fairbairn-Sykes, though far more elegant. It is hand-made by genuine craftsmen. The knife at the top of the page just beneath the page title is the Randall Model 2 with an 8" blade This one has a brass handguard, leather hilt, aluminum pommel. I have always held that 9" is the ideal minimum length of a primary blade. I have now changed my mind, after more than 30 years of serious knife work. I acquired a knife identical to the one above. The balance, the craftsmanship, the feel in the hand, the edge - every single facet of this knife is simply brilliant. I've worked with it for about a week now, and it moves through the hands with grace. The fit is outstanding. I have studied fine blades for more than 30 years, and I assure you this knife is the best built blade I have ever handled - and I have had several magnificent Japanese blades in my hands. The Randall Model 2 with 8" blade is my primary knife. When Harm's Way is imminent, we will be together. This blade instills faith that it will not let me down when my life is on the line. I have studied traditional Japanese arts since my teens. There was a ceremony. My wife was present. The blade was given a proper name. Her purpose in this world was explained to her. She began to collect the energy of my wife and of me. Whether you think such rituals are hooey is irrelevant. Perhaps one day I will share the meaning of the ritual, the true meaning of Honor. But for now I simply can commend to you Randall Knives at RandallKnives.com. If you ever anticipate that you may need to defend your life with your Fighting Blade, I am convinced you'll have a hard time finding a better knife than a Randall. And where life is leading me, where I anticipate I may be forced into shadows on behalf of Liberty, my Randall Model 2 will be with me.

Eleven years after the United States committed to helping the former Soviet Union secure and destroy its weapons of mass destruction, and 14 months after President Bush made it a national priority to keep them out of terrorists' hands, vast and lethal stockpiles remain ripe for plucking, officials and nonproliferation experts say. While Bush and other world leaders have become ardent about the need to secure stockpiles and crack down on proliferators, implementation is snarled in bureaucratic and political wrangling in the United States, Russia, Europe and Japan, arms control experts say. As a result, even while the United States talks about a dangerous new arms race -- between terrorists determined to get weapons of mass destruction and governments desperate to stop them -- the proliferation threat, U.S. officials say, is getting worse. Potential buyers are believed to include Iraqi President Saddam Hussein and Osama bin Laden. Last week's terrorist attacks in Kenya underscore U.S. concerns. The shoulder-fired missiles that just missed an Israeli passenger jet appear to have been Soviet-made, and al-Qaida is believed to have fired several more surface-to-air missiles at American targets in Afghanistan and the Middle East in the last several years. If U.S. lawmakers are frustrated by the delays in securing or destroying the former Soviet Union's arsenals, arms control advocates are apoplectic. Former Soviet President Mikhail S. Gorbachev came to Washington this spring to urge Bush and National Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice to move faster, before disaster strikes. The issue has caused divisions among Republicans in Congress. During recent Senate hearings, the gentlemanly Sen. Richard Lugar, R-Ind., in a rare breach of protocol, began to name names. He blamed California's Rep. Duncan Hunter and Rep. Curt Weldon of Pennsylvania for blocking funding of anti- proliferation programs. But sources say that behind closed doors, Weldon, Hunter and other conservatives on the House Armed Services Committee have for years sabotaged the programs by attaching conditions that are all but impossible for the Russians to fulfill. Opponents say every dollar given to the Russians to destroy obsolete weapons is a dollar freed up for them to use for other military spending. Arms control experts and congressional sources say that in the waning days of the 107th Congress, Hunter and his allies killed a budget item that would have allowed the Bush administration to use up to $50 million of nonproliferation funds to secure nuclear materials outside the former Soviet Union. The idea was to help nations such as Pakistan or Yugoslavia safeguard or destroy old nuclear reactor fuel or other weapons materiel that could be blown up in place, stolen by terrorists, or smuggled out and sold on the international black market. Polls indicate that the American public feels that the spread of nuclear weapons is the most serious global problem. In May, Bush and Russian President Vladimir V. Putin agreed that the United States and Russia should do everything possible to prevent proliferation. But in practice, Russian secrecy, U.S. congressional restrictions and the ideological hangover from the Cold War continue to cause problems.

- Arsenal Refinished - Good to Very Good Bores - Light Coating of Cosmoline - Matching Numbers (some rifles may have re-numbered buttplates & bayonets to match the rifle) - Tool Kit and Oil Can We are selling at random pick from the original crate the round recievers at the low price of $215. It’s the luck of the draw as to which manufacturer you will receive and date. Dates appear to range from 1939-1944+. Your rifle will resemble similar condition to those in the stock photos. Some wear and a few dings, but overall very good condition for this type of rifle. If you are interested in a Hex or other type of receiver/condition of a rifle. We will be pulling the Hex’s and other less common Mosin Nagant rifles and listing them individually on our website to give you the opportunity to know exactly what you are purchasing. However, these rifles will be listed at a higher price dependent upon their condition and markings. Mosin Nagant rifles are required to ship to an FFL or C&R License. Interested in modifying a Mosin Nagant? You can purchase one of these rifles (or ship your own), and then can purchase additional services through Bluegrass Gunworks to be completed on your Mosin before we ship it to you. Commonly selected services: - Rock Solid Industries scope mount & installation. - Barrel shortened and given an 11° target crown. - Standard barrel threading of 5/8 x 24 TPI We will email you a second invoice (through Bluegrass Gunworks to process the export licensing) to cover the additional charges associated with your order. Shipping fees are based off of the address used with your order and we are required under ITAR to obtain an export license. The majority of our international customers do not require an import license from their own countries to import a stock. However, please check your country and local regulations. Be aware that there may be duties and import taxes levied by your country even if there is no import license required. We use the United States Postal Service-Priority Mail International- (fully insured) for international shipping purposes. The export license generally takes 10 business days to process from the date submitted. The license fee is 5% of the value of your order. As example: Your complete order comes to $300. The license fee is $15 ($300 x 5%) There is an additional $18 fee to help offset our annual ITAR registration fee and the time to complete the paperwork, customs, etc. As part of the export license request under ITAR, on the second invoice containing the shipping charges, there is an additional statement included on the invoice. “I, the above referenced purchaser, by my action of placing this purchase order with certify that I have complied with the import regulations of the government of my Country and that an Import Certificate is not required for me to import the items listed above and that they are for personal use on a civil use sporting firearm and that I will not divert, transship or re-export the items described herein without the prior approval of my Government.” We will need you to print, sign, date and email us a copy (PDF, or JPEG) for inclusion with the export license request. We are pushing to have inventory on hand that is finished to 80% complete. That way when your order comes in, we can add a custom barrel, or vents, do some light sanding, apply your selected finish and get it shipped out the door within 10 business days. Right now we are running tactical mosin blanks and shipping out stocks for everyone who responded from the waiting list. For mosin tactical stocks ordered on this website I expect to start shipping the tail end of the week of the 14th of August, with our target to ship future orders within two weeks of the customer order date. K-31 stock blanks will be in the works by late August with orders starting to ship in early September. Our customers biggest complaint has always been our delays in our shipping dates; our customers biggest compliment is that it was always well worth the wait. We want to change that and get our reputation for shipping to rise to the same level as the excellent reputation our products have for quality, design and craftsmanship. Whether you are looking to just have your Rock Solid Industries scope mount installed properly, or needing other services tailored to the Mosin Nagant and K-31, we have the capabilities and competitive pricing structure to fit your needs. For our dealers, please see our catalog for the dealer pricing structure. If you are using any of the Rock Solid Industries mounts other then the RSI Scout Mount, you will have to modify your bolt with a bent handle. Our bolt modification service can replace your existing straight handle with a bent round, teardrop or threaded bolt handle. If you’re seeking to improve the accuracy of your rifle, the most economical action you can take is shortening your barrel and having it re-crowned with an 11 degree target crown. Every Mosin barrel is different, but as a rule of thumb we generally recommend shortening the barrel somewhere between 20″-22″ before adding the target crown. Threading is a very popular option to the Mosin. The addition of a muzzle brake greatly reduces the recoil and if combined with an upgraded stock or the addition of a modern recoil pad, you can greatly reduce the “mule kick” that the 7.62 round is known for with the Mosin. There are some great flash suppressors on the market, but AAC makes one that tamed the Mosin flame and turned it into little more than sparks you would see struck from a Bic lighter. Click on the image below to go to Bluegrass Gunworks and see their gunsmith services. Standard Threads: (email us for other threading options) - 5/8″ x 24 TPI (industry standard) - M14 x 1.0 L.H. Thread (used with the popular Tapco Ak-74 muzzle brake) We create our rifle stocks out of Maple and Walnut hardwoods, and have created customs stocks out of rosewood and other materials. The material arrives in 12-20 foot custom cut sections, often sourced from right here in Kentucky. It’s not uncommon to have lumber from Tennessee, Pennsylvania or even farther afield, and we have even looked at sourcing walnut overseas from places like Turkey. Anyone familiar with the lumber market and prices for walnut will understand why. A vacuum kiln is utilized to remove the moisture from the lumber until we obtain the moisture content we require. This helps maintain the stability of the wood through temperature swings and reduces the likely hood of “shrinkage” that can stress joints and pre-existing checks in the wood. It also allows for a better bond with the binding agents we use with our cross laminated grip. Each lumber board is hand sorted, marked for the highest yield while cutting around the knots, checks, fissures and other problematic wood grain structure. Even using this process, we’ll have almost a 10% rejection rate of stocks as they move through the production process and fail to meet our quality control inspections. The stock blanks end up on our CNC routers. The routers assist in reproducing the hand-crafted design (utilizing the 3D scan CAD design of the hand crafted original), and each stock is still hand worked to get the curves and feel that we want-yet the CNC allows for precision fitting of the cross grain lamination in the grips, barrel channel and receiver/pillar cut out. The catalyzed varnish we utilize performs very well at repelling moisture, dirt, and even offers UV protection. It allows the natural beauty of the wood grain to show through, while providing protection to the wood stock and minimizing expansion/contraction, and thus consistency at the range. Only use cleaning solvents rates for wood finish products. Duracoat is a very popular finish. We started using it at the recommendation of numerous active duty and retired military service personnel. There’s lots of research on the forums from first hand users of the abuse that firearms with Duracoat have been put through. Just remember, it can take up to 30 days to get the complete cure! So watch out for those harsh chemicals until the cure is complete-but generally safe to shoot by the time you receive your stock. The design of the stock itself is geared towards consistent accuracy in shooting, and greatly reducing the recoil that the Mosin is known for. The use of the integrated pillars supports the rifles action on non-compressible “pillars” that are rigidly bedded in the stock to help eliminate accuracy problems stemming from faulty, action-stressing, metal-to-wood fitting. All of our rear pillars are cut to accept the Timney trigger system. This allows you to obtain the trigger pull that best works for you, and the safety with the Timney is a nice addition. The barrel channel is designed to free float the barrel. This keeps the wood stock from touching (warping) into the rifle barrel-changing harmonics, etc and also allows the barrel to expand as it heats up, and other benefits with free floated barrels. Comfort was something we were looking for with the stock design. The cellular structure of wood itself, using bedded pillars, the full length stock, and utilizing the Remington Super Cell recoil pad greatly effects the recoil. Customers have reported that their 10 & 12 year old children have sent dozens of shots down range in a short period of time with great enjoyment-instead of feeling like they were being kicked by a mule. Our receiver cut is patterned off of the early 1900 hex receivers. They were the smallest we’ve found. As such, there is plenty of stock material and Devcon that can be removed by you to get the custom fit desired for your rifle. You want to have your front lug and tang sit flat against the tops of the pillars. I would expect to spend 10-15 minutes (but often less) “tweaking” to have your receiver fit properly. There is just too much variation with Mosin production to make a quality “drop in” stock. Timney Trigger: The rear pillar has been cut to fit the Timney trigger. However, due to receiver variation you may need to further open the timney trigger cut (one side or the other) to get the proper clearance to ensure the timney trigger does not touch. Timney Safety: The safety can have a factory variation or “bend” and as such, you may need to further inlet the safety cut to allow proper movement of the Timney safety. (see yellow arrow above) Front Lug: Some can either be further forward or rear, you can enlarge/shave the front lug area to fit your receiver. A very common issue is an “over clocked” barrel, that comes from an over tightened barrel. Instead of modifying the front lug area, try removing some wood/devcon in the tang area ( a little at a time) till the receiver/barrel fits properly. Shaving the tang will cause the barrel to adjust to the opposite side (shave the left side to adjust barrel to the right) A higher front lug on your receiver will generally not be noticed, and may only make your barrel appear “riding high” in the barrel channel. A lower front lug on your receiver could allow the barrel to touch the bottom of the channel. This is more rare, and is easily corrected with a small washer. If your receiver screws do not thread properly, you can make an easy adjustment by enlarging (reaming) the rear pillar or adjusting the rear pillar angle. The front lug screw should be left alone as much as possible. If minor adjustments in the rear and the front lug, and the barrel is still touching the barrel channel, please email us. At this point you will be better served drilling out the front pillar and having us send you a replacement front pillar that you can install with J.B. Weld in order to have the proper fit to your receiver. The addition of the monopod system to the butt of the stock is what turns a tactical mosin nagant stock into an SF tactical mosin nagant stock. The monopod design originally allowed for only macro adjustment, accomplished by loosening the brass (we use brass to keep from marring the steel and creating “drag” points) knob and manually raising or lowering the monopod to help you achieve proper eye relief and a comfortable, consistent hold. We have some great beta testers in the Phoenix area and at various military establishments around the country who have helped us develop this style of stock, including the monopod. One of the main adjustments to the monopod from their feedback was the addition of “micro” adjustment ability. We added a steel “foot” to the bottom of the monopod that allows for minimal incremental changes in elevation. Photo: Major Pandemic “Ultimate Mosin Nagant Build” It may not seem like much, but for long range, consistent groupings, the additional 3/4″ micro adjustment allows the shooter to fine tune their hold. With their feedback we also made the cross laminated grip design a standard feature on our rifle stocks. Normally one of the weakest areas of the rifle stock, the cross grain lamination greatly enhances the strength, and pound for pound, is stronger than steel. These are the comments from the special forces shooters that we have the great privileged to have worked with in helping us develop this stock that allows those on a budget to still be able to afford a 1,000 yard rifle. This is a response to the question of how did the gun assemble? “Not too bad, just a few thousandths here and there. And, I drilled out the pillar beds a few thousandths for temp expansion between the aluminum pillars and steel allen bolts. You should have a smile from ear to ear. Your stock has all the guys approval. For comfort, moveability, “ease of transitioning”, build quality, and aesthetics. They really love the look of it and the design. They can’t believe it’s a BETA. “ “The other question I keep getting is how soon can they buy one?” Note: Despite the wind and snow, our stock was able to compete in the inter-agency function against rifles costing many thousands of dollars, and below follows the after action report. “It was the best personally owned gun I’ve ever shot. A bit more recoil than an M4, but less than an AK. It was an absolute joy to fire. It was the least amount of recoil we had out. And had the most power, velocity and accuracy of any of the Government Issue. Everyone was absolutely blown away with the stock. “ Click images below, then click again to enlarge individual image.

Transitional Short Sword Place of Origin: British Isles Overall: 34.5 inches Blade: 27.75 inches A lovely Dutch transitional rapier or small sword. The hilt is chiselled steel, the guard pierced with floral designs and two stylized human heads in profile. The same head is represented twice on the guard, quillon block and pommel, for a total of six heads. The quillons, quillon block and pommel are all chiselled en-suite with the rest of the hilt. The grip is likely original and the sword overall is undisturbed. The patina is a beautiful rich grey colour. The Hilt is almost certainly by the same maker as a sword pictured in Oakeshott’s book, European Weapons and Armour, from the Renaissance to the Industrial Revolution, plate 21F. The sword in Oakeshott’s book has a knuckle guard, while our sword does not which generally indicates a slightly earlier date. The blade has a small rectangular ricasso that has a shallow concavity, with a maker’s mark on one side. The blade then steps down and is hexagonal in section. The hexagonal region is chiselled with more floral designs and what appears to be a stylized ‘Lion Rampant’. The third and final phase of the blade is diamond sectioned. The blade overall is extremely well forged and executed, a definite bonus on an already interesting sword. The maker’s mark appears to be a Negro’s head, which in the murky world of maker’s marks may indicate that it is the work of Andres Munsten 1587 – 1610. Munsten is said to have worked in Solingen and in Toledo.

US finally cleans up site of Oppenheimer’s Manhattan Project More than 80 years after the United States started the Manhattan Project, its government has started cleaning up the radioactive remnants of its race to build nuclear weapons in New York. The Army Corps of Engineers removed traces of Robert Oppenheimer’s atomic bombs this month from the site of a warehouse that has since been demolished in Staten Island , the New York Post said. The average radiation levels at 2393 Richmond Terrace, the site of the warehouse, about eight miles from the southernmost tip of Manhattan, were 25 times higher than usual, enough to increase the risk of cancer with regular exposure, according to the Army Corps. The Department of Energy has known of the radiation at the site since at least 1980, but

STOP’s ongoing review of the Navy’s recently released Northwest Training and Testing Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS) has identified what we believe are a number of significant violations of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). In our last update, we discussed how other government agencies have criticized the Navy’s analysis of the noise impacts of the aircraft using the proposed Pacific Northwest Electronic Warfare Range. In this update we discuss another gross deficiency – the complete failure to analyze the impacts of the electromagnetic radiation that would be emitted by the electronic warfare weapons with which the aircraft using the proposed EWR will be equipped. Section 2.3 of the FEIS has an extensive listing and description of sonar systems, ordnance, munitions, targets, and other systems to “facilitate understanding of both the activities and the analysis of the environmental effects of their use.” The potential environmental impacts of those systems are then analyzed in Section 3 of the FEIS. However, no such listing or description is included in the FEIS for the electronic attack weapons with which the EA-18G Growlers are fitted. This is especially ironic because the whole purpose of the EWR is to provide testing and training in the operation of those systems. Instead, without limiting or describing in any way just what electronic attack weapons will be used, Section 126.96.36.199.2.1 of the FEIS dismisses any consideration of their impacts by claiming that “these systems will be operated at power levels, altitudes, and distances from people and animals to ensure that energy received is well below levels that could disrupt behavior or cause injury.” Just as with the Navy’s more conventional weapon systems, however, a listing of the types of electronic attack weapons and their specifications, and the “power levels, altitudes, and distances from people and animals at which the weapons will be used,” is needed to “facilitate understanding of both the activities and the analysis of the environmental effects of their use.” A recent article in the online publication Defense Systems noted the Navy” is upgrading its electronic attack aircraft, the EA-18G Growler” and described the Growler as “an advanced airborne electronic attack platform, with electronic warfare capabilities” including “non-traditional electronic attack” weapons. According to its Environmental Assessment, the EWR is intended to “sustain and enhance the level and type of EW training currently being conducted by assets using the [Northwest Training Range Complex], to provide the ability to accommodate growth in future training requirements, and to maximize the ability of local units to achieve their training requirements on local ranges.” It is also intended to provide “combat-ready Tactical Electronic Attack squadrons which are fully trained.” This degree of training would require the use of “non-traditional electronic attack” weapons within the EWR. A United States Army document entitled “Bioeffects of Selected Nonlethal Weapons” released in 2006 discussed electronic warfare weapons that could induce sounds in human subjects, trigger epileptic seizures, and induce blinding. In 2013, the Air Force awarded General Dynamics a $49,000,000 contract to conduct bio-effects research on directed energy weapon effectiveness and safety, directed energy bio-mechanisms, radio frequency bio-effects modeling and simulation, and human effectiveness analysis and integration. This 2013 contract indicates that the development of the selected nonlethal weapons mentioned in the 2006 document is very much being pursued by the Department of Defense. These types of weapons would seemingly qualify as “non-traditional electronic attack weapons.” Before any rational analysis of the effects of the EWR can be made, it is essential that the specifications of all the electronic attack weapons to be used in the EWR, including “non-traditional electronic attack” weapons, be known. This is especially so with non-traditional electronic attack weapons being a part of the Growler’s arsenal, and with those weapons apparently being designed to harm people. We invite all of you to share your knowledge and concerns regarding electronic attack weapons with us and the public so that this aspect of the EWR might receive the proper attention. We invite the Navy to recognize the deficiencies in its NEPA documents, and to start anew by drafting a scoping document to begin the proper analysis of the environmental impacts of the EWR.

Automated aircraft and other autonomous systems are slowly beginning to penetrate the U.S. military arsenal, but killer robots inflicting death without human control are not yet a reality, according to the Pentagon. Dn a conference organized on Wednesday, March 30 by the Washington PostAssistant Secretary of Defense Robert Work gave a startling glimpse of new weapons that have moved from the realm of science fiction into the realm of near-reality. F-16s that fly by themselves, satellites that dodge missiles, and fleets of unmanned ships and submarines are being developed by the Pentagon and the U.S. defense industry, Work said. And U.S. Department of Defense strategists are also preparing for a battlefield where the enemy deploys self-contained, firepowered machines, even though these kinds of weapons are not currently part of the arsenal the United States is considering using. « We will not delegate the authority to kill to a machine... " Work, who is leading the Pentagon's technology efforts, said. But the American position could change if opponents did not have such scruples, he suggested. « We could be up against an adversary who is more inclined than we are to delegate power to machines... He said, "It's a very good way to get a good idea of what's going on in the world. « And as this competition takes shape, we will have to make decisions on how best to deal with it."he added. Among the autonomous weapons being developed by the Americans is the "Loyal Winger," a semi-autonomous F-16 fighter that would fly unmanned and accompany in its missions the F-35, the fifth-generation stealth fighter that would become the backbone of American combat aviation. " It's gonna happen. "said Mr. Work. « I expect to see these unmanned wingers first, I expect to see automatic underwater systems everywhere, I expect to see automatic systems on the surface of the sea. ", he listed. The Pentagon is also considering driverless trucks that would travel in convoys through dangerous areas where artisanal mines proliferate, such as those that killed hundreds of soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan. Companies like Google have already built automatic cars that are currently being tested on American roads. But according to Robert Work, the challenge is harder for the Pentagon because the trucks will have to be capable of off-roading. " When the roads are too dangerous, we'll leave them, and this kind of navigation is extremely difficult "he explained. Among the Pentagon's other projects are satellites that when in orbit are capable of moving on their own to avoid the anti-satellite missiles feared by American strategists. And artificial intelligence capabilities capable of analyzing huge amounts of data on its own. This type of machine is already at work to scrutinize the Islamic State Group and better understand its organizational structure, according to the assistant secretary. « These learning machines will enable us to hunt down the Islamic State Group as a network and inflict a lasting defeat on it. "said Mr. Work. The foreseeable emergence of autonomous weapons is of growing concern to scientists, the United Nations and human rights advocates around the world. Last July in Buenos Aires, several thousand researchers and personalities, including the famous British astrophysicist Stephen Hawking, called for a ban on autonomous offensive weapons, warning in particular of the danger of mistaken targeting and terrorist use. « Legislation is needed as soon as possible as the technology could be available soon. ", warned one of the signatories at the time, British expert Toby Walsh.

false flags and imperium facades Hersh has a long piece in the London Review of Books detailing the strong evidence indicating that the Turkish government worked with Syrian rebels in a "false flag" operation of the worst sort: staging a chemical weapons attack near Damascus in August 2013. The intent was to throw blame for the attack on the Assad regime, thereby drawing the United States directly into the conflict; the use of chemical weapons against the rebels was a "red line" repeatedly laid down by Barack Obama as the trigger for an American intervention. As we know, the gambit very nearly worked. In addition to the deep background behind the sarin attack, Hersh's story also reveals the extent of the military operation planned by Obama. Although at the time, administration officials were speaking of "surgical strikes" and a limited response, the White House was in fact planning a massive attack involving the armed forces of three Western powers (the U.S., Britain and France) that would devastate the entire country and topple the regime. As Hersh writes: In the aftermath of the 21 August attack Obama ordered the Pentagon to draw up targets for bombing. Early in the process, the former intelligence official said, ‘the White House rejected 35 target sets provided by the joint chiefs of staff as being insufficiently “painful” to the Assad regime.’ The original targets included only military sites and nothing by way of civilian infrastructure. Under White House pressure, the US attack plan evolved into ‘a monster strike’: two wings of B-52 bombers were shifted to airbases close to Syria, and navy submarines and ships equipped with Tomahawk missiles were deployed. ‘Every day the target list was getting longer,’ the former intelligence official told me. ‘The Pentagon planners said we can’t use only Tomahawks to strike at Syria’s missile sites because their warheads are buried too far below ground, so the two B-52 air wings with two-thousand pound bombs were assigned to the mission. Then we’ll need standby search-and-rescue teams to recover downed pilots and drones for target selection. It became huge.’ The new target list was meant to ‘completely eradicate any military capabilities Assad had’, the former intelligence official said. The core targets included electric power grids, oil and gas depots, all known logistic and weapons depots, all known command and control facilities, and all known military and intelligence buildings. Britain and France were both to play a part. On 29 August, the day Parliament voted against Cameron’s bid to join the intervention, the Guardian reported that he had already ordered six RAF Typhoon fighter jets to be deployed to Cyprus, and had volunteered a submarine capable of launching Tomahawk missiles. The French air force – a crucial player in the 2011 strikes on Libya – was deeply committed, according to an account in Le Nouvel Observateur; François Hollande had ordered several Rafale fighter-bombers to join the American assault. Their targets were reported to be in western Syria. Re: false flags and imperium facades I read the entire Hersh article yesterday. Highly recommend it. Yeah, very long....but riveting. Sy Hersh is one of the really, really good ones. And just ot ask, how did all of these modern powers think sizable nations were going to act in the long run after exporting such high levels of materialism to them and then stepping away and expecting perpetual motion? I read stuff like this and can only think of the Shah and Noriega. And even Chavez, for that matter. Even with his flies and warts, when Fidel goes there might not be any true pragmatic patriots left anywhere.

As we continue to acknowledge the Sesquicentennial of the American Civil War… On Saturday, February 28, 1863, 150 years ago today, a now-forgotten Civil War engagement pointed the way toward the future of naval warfare. On this day, Federal Naval Commander, Captain John L. Worden (former captain of the original Union ironclad USS Monitor) was at the helm of the Union ironclad warship USS Montauk on the Ogeechee River south of Savannah, Georgia — when he saw the CSS Nashville, sold as a privateer and now named Rattlesnake, run aground, lying under the guns of Fort McAllister. With the U.S. Navy gunboats Wissahickon, Seneca and Dawn providing supporting fire, Captain Worden trained The Montauk’s batteries upon the enemy ship and started firing. Minutes later, the Montauk’s cannonade hit the CSS Nashville, struck her gunpowder magazine — and the Confederate ship exploded with “terrific violence.” Alas, after his brief, triumphant engagement with the Confederate privateer, Commander Worden’s own ship hit a submerged mine, and he had to beach the USS Montauk on a mud bar to make repairs. The Confederacy could hardly afford the loss of the Nashville. The CSA commissioned shipbuilders to build 50 warships — and 22 were built and sent into battle, including CSS Virginia, CSS Arkansas, CSS Tennessee, and CSS Nashville. The fate of the Nashville on this day in 1863 is not very well known – but what happened one year earlier to the CSS Virginia — the first steam-powered ironclad warship in the Confederate States Navy – became an epochal moment in naval warfare. Built as a Confederate ironclad from the hull and steam engines of the scuttled Union warship, USS Merrimack — the CSS Virginia was sunk by the Union ironclad USS Monitor in the Battle of Hampton Roads on March 9, 1862: the first battle between ironclad, armored warships. 150 years ago today – on the banks of Georgia’s Ogeechee River — the American Civil war adds another explosive, revolutionary chapter to the history of modern warfare. Five months from now, in July, we’ll note the 150th anniversary of The Battle of Gettysburg. And there won’t be a boat, ironclad or otherwise, anywhere near the battlefield.

Mysterious weapons have been referenced in the Red Dead Redemption 2 files. There are many indications that the developers are checking new toys on the Wild West map, which, however, will already be used in GTA 6. Rockstar carried out the same situation in previous projects. Rockstar can reuse its latest production to test items from the upcoming position. The developers apparently can no longer use GTA 5 and GTA Online to test GTA 6 novelties, so three mentions of new weapons were found in Red Dead Redemption 2 files. In the Red Dead Redemption 2 code you will find: “W_J_L1A1”, “W_AR_AK47”, “W_J_BOWNING” and “W_J_BOWNING_SUPP”. According to the players, the company is testing the L1A1, AK-47 rifles and the Browning Hi-Power pistol (normal and silencer versions). The situation is interesting because it is precisely these weapon names that can easily be linked to Project Americas – this is the code name of GTA 6. The L1A1 rifle was produced between 1954 and 1999, and the AK-47 and Browning Hi-Power were used by drug cartels in the 1980s and 1990s. According to the aforementioned project, Grand Theft Auto 6 is to take place at this time, and the main plot is to be inspired by the story of drug dealers who imported drugs from Latin America to the United States. Players have even managed to discover that although some of these weapons have already appeared in GTA 5, in this case, they are new versions of files with refreshed guns.

The P-38 Lightning was one of the most important American fighters of the Second World War. Although its operational record was somewhat mixed, in general the P-38 was a fast, powerful, and capable aircraft that performed well in a wide range of roles. The aircraft had twin tail booms mounting the engines, and a single forward nacelle containing the pilot and armament. The engine sounds were a unique, rather quiet "whuffle" sound, because the superchargers muffled the exhausts of the twin Allison V-12s. In the tropics, the cabin could not be opened without severe buffeting, so that pilots were often too hot. In northern Europe, the distance of the engines from the cockpit prevented effective heating of the cockpit. Thus it was always either too hot or too cold. Lockheed P-38 Lightning. Lightnings go to war The first combat-capable Lightning was the P-38E, which featured improved instruments, electrical systems, and hydraulic systems; new Curtiss Electric duraluminum propellers, though early P-38E production retained the older Hamilton Standard Hydromatic hollow steel propellers; and the definitive armament configuration, featuring four 12.7 millimeter machine guns with 500 rounds per gun, and a Hispano 20 millimeter cannon with 150 rounds instead of the unreliable Oldsmobile 37 millimeter gun. Interestingly, while the machine guns had been arranged symmetrically in the nose on earlier variants, they were "staggered" in the P-38E and later versions, with the muzzles sticking out of the nose in the relative lengths of roughly 1:4:6:2. This was done to ensure a straight ammunition belt feed into the weapons, as the earlier arrangement had led to jams. The first P-38E rolled out of the factory in October 1941. 210 P-38Es were built. They were followed, starting in April 1942, by the P-38F, which incorporated racks inboard of the engines for fuel tanks or a total of 900 kilograms (2,000 pounds) of bombs. 527 P-38Fs were built. Over a hundred P-38Es were completed in the factory or converted in the field to a photo-reconnaissance variant, the F-4, in which the guns were replaced by four cameras. Most of these early reconnaissance Lightnings were retained stateside for training, but the F-4 was the first Lightning to see combat, beginning operations out of Australia and then New Guinea in April 1942. Three of the F-4s were operated by the Royal Australian Air Force in this theater for a short period beginning in September 1942. By June 1942, P-38s were operating in the Aleutians as well. The fighter's long range made it well-suited to the campaign over the almost 2,000 kilometer (1,200 mile) long island chain, and it would be flown there for the rest of the war. It was one of the most rugged environments available for testing the new aircraft under combat conditions. More Lightnings were lost due to weather and other conditions than enemy action. There were cases where Lightning pilots, mesmerized by flying for hours over gray seas under gray skies, simply flew into the water. Nonetheless, the P-38 scored successes. On August 4, 1942, two P-38Es, operating at the 1,600 kilometer (1,000 mile) end of a long-range patrol, bounced a pair of Japanese Kawanishi H6K "Mavis" flying boats and destroyed them. They were the first of many Japanese aircraft to be shot down by the Lightning. In the meantime, Lightnings were ferrying themselves across the Atlantic via Iceland to England, though most of them made the trip on freighters. On August 15, a P-38F and a P-40 operating out of Iceland shot down a Focke-Wulf 200 shipping raider over the Atlantic. This was reputedly the first Luftwaffe aircraft destroyed by the USAAF. The Lightnings sent to England were part of the force being built up for the invasion of North Africa. The invasion took place in November 1942, and Lightning units, including a photo-reconnaissance unit under command of Colonel Elliot Roosevelt, the American president's son, then began acquiring familiarity with operating under "austere conditions" and matching their skills and aircraft against the enemy. The Lightning proved surprisingly maneuverable at low altitudes. The contra-rotating props had the benefit of eliminating the effects of engine torque, and on occasion a Lightning could even out-turn smaller fighters. However, maneuverability wasn't its strong suit, its major virtue in combat being a "terrific zoom climb" that would leave pursuers in the dust. Luftwaffe pilots also quickly learned not to make head-on attacks on the P-38, since its concentrated firepower made such a tactic suicidal. Although not the best dogfighter, the P-38 was a formidable interceptor and attack aircraft, and in the hands of a good pilot could be dangerous in air to air combat. The P-38 remained a force in the Mediterranean for the rest of the war. The Lightning proved ideally suited for the Pacific theater, as it combined excellent performance with very long range. While the P-38 could not out-maneuver the Zero and most other Japanese fighters, its speed and climb gave American pilots the option of choosing to fight or run, and its focused firepower was even more deadly to lightly-armored Japanese warplanes than to the Germans. Japanese ace Jiro Horikoshi wrote: "The peculiar sound of the P-38's twin engines became both familiar and hated by the Japanese all across the South Pacific." General George Kenney, commander of the USAAF Fifth Air Force operating in New Guinea, could not get enough P-38s, though since they were replacing serviceable but inadequate P-39s and P-40s, this might seem like guarded praise. But Lightning pilots began to compete in racking up scores against Japanese aircraft, including one of the most famous missions of the war, the airborne assassination of Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto on April 17, 1943. Yamamoto was the architect of Japan's naval strategy in the Pacific. When American codebreakers found out that he was flying to Bougainville Island to conduct a front-line inspection, 16 Lightnings were sent on a long-range flight to intercept him: 4 to actually attack the bombers and the other 12 as top cover. The mission went off perfectly, the Lightnings met Yamamoto's G4M "Betty" bomber and escorting Zero fighters just as they arrived, and the G4M was shot down over the jungle. The admiral was killed. The P-38F was followed in early 1943 by the P-38G, with more powerful Allisons with 1,400 horsepower each and a better radio. 1,082 P-38Gs were built. The P-38G was followed in turn by 601 similar P-38Hs, with a further uprated Allisons with 1,425 horsepower each, an improved 20 millimeter cannon, and a bomb capacity of 1,450 kilograms (3,200 pounds). These models were also field-modified into F-4B and F-5A reconnaissance aircraft. There was never a "P-38I". The USAAF didn't use the "I" designation since it looked like a "1". The Lightning in Maturity: P-38J, P-38L The definitive P-38J was introduced in August 1943. The twin booms of previous Lightnings featured a sleek, art-deco streamlining. However, the coolant system that had been housed in the inner part of the wings had proven vulnerable to combat damage and was inefficient anyway, and so engine fit was rethought. The most noticeable feature of the new fit was that the radiators were placed under the prop hub at the front of the booms, forming a "beard" that made the P-38J visibly different from its predecessors. The space left open in the wings was replaced with fuel tanks, further increasing the aircraft's long range. The revised engine fit made cooling much more efficient and improved both performance and reliability. Late production P-38Js also finally overcame the compressibility problem, through the introduction of minor aerodynamic changes, most particularly the addition of a set of small dive flaps just outboard of the engines, on the bottom centerline of the wings. With these improvements, a USAAF pilot dived one to a terminal velocity of almost 970 KPH (600 MPH) and recovered in one piece. Finally, later production of the P-38J was equipped with power-boosted flight controls, one of the first times such a system was fitted to a fighter, and did much to improve the Lightning's roll rate and maneuverability. With a truly satisfactory Lightning in place, Lockheed ramped up production, working with subcontractors across the country to produce hundreds of Lightnings each month. Some 2,970 P-38Js were built. |Lockheed P-38J Lightning| |wingspan||15.85 meters||52 feet| |length||11.53 meters||37 feet 10 inches| |empty weight||5,797 kilograms||12,780 pounds| |max loaded weight||9,798 kilograms||21,600 pounds| |maximum speed||676 KPH||420 MPH / 365 KT| |service ceiling||13,410 meters||44,000 feet| |range, no drop tanks||1,891 kilometers||1,175 MI / 1,022 NMI| |range, with drop tanks||3,627 kilometers||2,260 MI / 1,965 NMI| This page is based on the "The Lockheed P-38 Lightning" version 1.3, by Greg Goebel.

“Night Witches” is the English translation of Nachthexen, a World War II German nickname (Russian Ночные ведьмы), for the female military aviators of the 588th Night Bomber Regiment, known later as the 46th “Taman” Guards Night Bomber Aviation Regiment, of the Soviet Air Forces. The regiment flew harassment bombing and precision bombing missions against the German military from 1942 to the end of the war. The regiment flew in wood and canvas Polikarpov Po-2 biplanes, a 1928 design intended for use as training aircraft and for crop-dusting, and to this day the most-produced biplane in all of aviation history. The planes could carry only two bombs at a time, so multiple missions per night were necessary. There was a problem, however: the Polikarpov Po-2 was obsolete, slow and flew so low that parachutes were pointless to carry so…no parachutes, either. The Night Witches turned this disadvantage on its head. Since the Polikarpov Po-2’s maximum speed was lower than the stall speed of the German Messerschmitt Bf 109 and Focke-Wulf Fw 190, they were ironically extremely difficult to shoot down. The Night Witches would often idle their engine and glide to the bomb release point to further avoid detection.

22plinkster shares his top five tricks for making the toughest shots on small game. Thanks to their proportions, squirrels can be challenging to bring down—particularly when you’re armed with a rimfire rifle or handgun and not a shotgun. Federal Premium’s trick-shooting YouTube superstar and lifelong squirrel hunter 22plinkster reveals his secrets for hitting bushytails and other small game. The road to success begins long before you ever set foot in the squirrel woods. “Start by gearing up with a straight-shooting firearm, outfitted with a scope, and the right ammunition for the job,” says 22plinkster, who goes by the stage name Dave Nash and prefers to keep his true identity confidential. “The good news is, squirrel hunting is an extremely affordable sport,” he continues. “You can pick up a good, accurate .22 for under $200. A decent small game optic will add another 50 to 75 bucks, and is a vast improvement over iron sights. You’ll get more game. But more importantly, as an ethical hunter, you owe it to whatever you’re shooting to make a clean kill, and a scope helps you do that.” Nash also recommends adding a suppressor to the rifle. “You’ll shoot tighter groups,” he says. “Plus, silenced reports spook less game, so you get more follow-up shots on other squirrels in the area. It’s also easier to hear the bullet’s impact, which makes a distinctive sound when hitting a squirrel compared to a tree or the ground. If you pay attention, you can actually hear whether you hit or missed.” “HOLLOW-POINT LOADS HAVE GREATER EXPANSION AND SHOCKING POWER THAN STANDARD SOLID, ROUND-NOSED BULLETS.” Accurate, hollow-point lead or jacketed bullets get the nod in the ammo department. “Accuracy is paramount,” he says. “Hollow-point loads have greater expansion and shocking power than standard solid, round-nosed bullets.” Nash’s personal favorite is Federal Premium’s new Hunter Match 22 LR. “I was lucky enough to get some engineering samples before the ammunition was released on the market, so I’ve been shooting it for about a year now,” he says. “In that time, I’ve found that Hunter Match is extremely accurate out to 100 yards. With the right scope and rifle you can achieve 1- to 1¼-inch groups at that range. It also has a flat trajectory, which takes the guesswork out of where to hold.” Whatever ammunition you choose, don’t skimp on it. “If you get into a mess of squirrels, you might fire 50 or 60 times in one sitting,” he says. “I usually have two or three detachable magazines in one pocket and a handful of loose rounds in another.” Practice Makes Perfect Nash advises honing your shooting skills at the range, not while hunting. “Practice is critical,” he says. “But first, zero in your rifle on the bench. You need to know where it’s shooting, because being off by even an inch or two at 50 yards will make a big difference when small game hunting.” “BEING OFF BY EVEN AN INCH OR TWO AT 50 YARDS WILL MAKE A BIG DIFFERENCE.” Once sighted in, it’s time to practice. Paper and metal silhouette targets are great options, but Nash also likes to add real-world situations to the drill. “While sitting with my back to a tree, like I generally do while squirrel hunting, I shoot golf balls scattered at distances from 25 to 100 yards away,” he says. “The great thing about a golf ball is, you instantly know whether you hit or missed, and the ball repositions itself after a hit.” To read more click here.

Laser beam technology is being rushed into service to combat the threat of insurgent missiles and mortars raining down on British and American military bases in Iraq and Afghanistan. After decades of delay and billions of pounds spent, it will be simple commercial lasers rather than the hugely expensive US Department of Defence technology that could be used to save hundreds of troops' lives. In just 18 months the American defence firm Raytheon has turned a laser used in the car manufacturing industry into a weapon that can hit incoming rounds at the speed of light, melting the outer casing and detonating the explosive inside. A laser has already been used in a test to destroy a 60mm mortar round and in September the company plans its first "shoot down" of a shell in flight in a test to be conducted with the US military. If successful it could be used on battlefields as early as next year. The Ministry of Defence is also already in discussions with the company for the new weapon that will be mounted alongside the current Phalanx Gatling gun system that uses thousands of 20mm bullets to shoot down missiles physically. During one attack when The Daily Telegraph was present at Basra airbase in February two out of four 107mm rockets hurtling towards the accommodation area were shot down. But one of the two that penetrated the defences landed on a shower block killing a RAF serviceman. With the new laser technology it is hoped that all bombs fired at the base will be shot down before they get a chance to inflict damage. "This is a huge enhancement of Phalanx. It will have accuracy to shoot down these targets," said Raytheon's chief of directed energy weapons, Mike Booen, speaking at the Farnborough Air Show. "When you trade photons for bullets you have an unlimited magazine you can shot forever as long as you have electricity," Protecting commercial aircraft from the threat of terrorist missiles has also become a major concern for airlines and airports. It will cost an estimated $30 billion (£15 billion) to install effective defensive devices on board all America passenger jets if one was shot down. Terrorists have already fired SAMs at an Israeli jetliner in Kenya in 2002 and a freight jet in 2003 outside Baghdad. The Vigilant Eagle system will create a "dome of protection" around a major airport protecting all aircraft at the most vulnerable phases of take-off and landing. It shoots electromagnetic energy that disrupts the missile's circuit boards diverting it away form the aircraft. "This is not just restricted to US airspace because any terrorist with a shoulder-launched missile can use them," said Mike Booen. "If a commercial aircraft got shot at tomorrow we would have an order for 10 of these immediately." Energy beams have also been developed that can fire a laser with pinpoint accuracy to drive away potential suicide bombers, rioters or hostage takers. The Silent Guardian system fires millimetre wave beam at individuals that cause an excruciating burning sensation without causing any damage. The beam travels at the speed of light, penetrating the skin and causing an intolerable burning sensation causing suspects to flee. With dozens of helicopters being destroyed by Taliban and Iraqi insurgent missiles, technology advances have seen a device that has been shrunk from the size of a football to a tennis ball that will fire lasers to confuse infra-red guidance inside a missile.

|MadSci Network: Physics| If a missile was fired from Point A (on the equator) to Point B (a target on the same longitude due north of Point A but south of the north pole, does the missile need to be aimed to a point east of the target to compensate for the earth's rotation from west to east? What if Point A was in the southern hemisphere and point B was in the northern hemisphere both on the same longitude and equidistant from the equator? Does there need to be any compensation for rotation? I think we need to assume that there is no air friction as we would in theoretical physics. Re: Does the earth's rotation affect the trajectory of a missile? Try the links in the MadSci Library for more information on Physics.

German Submachine Gun From the collection of the Zeeland Liberation Museum h 28 cm x w 62 cm. When Lieutenant Bas Groeneweg disarmed a young German soldier he had taken prisoner during the liberation of Zeeland, he did not hesitate for a moment. That submachine would sure come in handy for his work with the Ordedienst (lit. Order Service). Weapons were scarce and on top of that it was an MP40: a gun that fired 500 rounds per minute – not for nothing the preferred model of the German army. And Bas made good use of it when he served with the Ordedienst, which was responsible for public safety after Zeeland was liberated. A year later when Bas left to fight in the Dutch East Indies, this submachine gun went with him.

Here is the letter, reposted by a faithful member; without all the neat images that has the quotes. I’m sure it will be removed as well eventually when they learn that there is still counter-evidence to the BoM on the forum Favorite line (emphasis added): I spent an inordinate amount of time attempting to determine what a sword from the time period of Laban would look like, its construction, etc. I could not locate one from his time period, but I did for an earlier time period, that of Solomon, about 250 years earlier. Using the description in the Book of Mormon, of the sword of Laban, I obtained a replica of the sword of Solomon, gold hilt and all. The sword that I obtained weighs over eight pounds, is bottom heavy, (a gold handle), and is extremely clumsy to use – much to heavy to use in battle. The hilt of a sword is the wrapping around the tang. It can indeed be made of gold wire. I know swords. The crossguard, or quillons, would NOT be be made of soft metal. In history, swords wielded by certain leaders might well have a gold wire or silver wire hilt. The whole hilt will NOT be so wrapped. The base will be leather with the final layer being the wire. I have hundreds of them in my collection and I hold a 7th dan in Kendo. Steel was nearly unheard of in Pre-columbian America. Obsidian swords CAN be sheathed. You make the scabbard out of leather that has been boiled in oil. This would NOT be cow leather as there were no cows in Pre-C America. The Sword of Solomon was crap. So the Sword of Laban probably was not an effective weapon. Nibley says the gold hilt was a symbol of power (despite Nephi saying he used it in battle to defend his people) and that it was never intended to fight with. He compares it to the dagger of King Tut as evidence that such things existed in the ancient world. “[N]one is more famous or more beautiful than the fine steel dagger with its hilt of pure gold and finest workmanship, that was found on the person of the youthful King Tutankhamen” (Hugh Nibley, Lehi in the Desert, V). Ok… steel dagger with a hilt of pure gold, should be just a google away… “…Tutankhamen’s tomb also contained a dagger with a gold blade” (The Age of Iron: Tutankhamen’s Tomb). Wait… whuh? Gold blade? “One of the most famous examples is knifemaker Buster Warenski’s replication of the gold dagger found in King Tut’s tomb. Warenski’s dagger was made with a cast gold blade and the knife contained 32 ounces of pure gold in its construction.” Did I just catch Nibley in a published lie? That is very clearly NOT a steel knife with a golden hilt! It’s a golden knife all the way through. Not a symbol of power and authority on a useable knife, but clearly just a symbolic knife (try cutting anything with gold). Oh Nibley… did you have to mislead the entire church on such a simple matter?

‘The Walking Dead’ Season 3 Finale Editing Mistake With Revolver Tonight was the finale of “The Walking Dead” Season 3. If you don’t want to know what happened, stop reading because this post has a big spoiler in it. Did you pay close attention when Andrea killed herself on “The Walking Dead” Season 3 finale? Andrea was locked inside a room with a gun after she was bitten by a walker. She had a revolver with her that was Rick Grimes gun. She then shot herself and you heard the shell fall and hit the ground letting fans know that she was dead. It was not a loud thump like a gun hitting the floor, but instead a small noise the type you hear from a shell. My husband immediately picked up on what the show did wrong. She was in there with a revolver. When you shoot a revolver, there is not a shell that falls to the ground. It stays inside of the gun and you later take them out when you reload it. Did anybody else notice this on the show? Were you surprised that the show aired it that way? “The Walking Dead” made a big mistake on this one! Sound off in the comments below on your thoughts! It wasn’t a shell, it was the gun hitting the floor. She had to drop it, since she was dead. Wrong. That was the gun that hit the ground. Sometimes, being captious is just annoying. That noise was not very soft. It was the revolver because you could here a couple clicks when it fell like the parts of a gun shifting. And I pay atte tion to detail too but not that much. I thought that to at first, but that’s a bit silly (or so I thought). It was meant to sound like the gun hitting… although I can see why he’d think that. The sound effect was a shell casing. No doubt. That light ting was not a gun. It was clearly the gun that hit the floor. Also, even if it was a shell (which it was not) it could be possible that was the sound of Machone emptying the shell from the gun. Remember, she was still I’m the room with Andrea. That being said, the sound heard was that of the gun hitting the floor. I didnt notice the shell casing hitting the ground. But I did notice that these guys can hit a walker in the head at 50 yds every shot with a hand gun. But can’t hit a person shooting at them to save their life. Well I just watched the scene again and….I hate to admit it; but, unless it was a really weird eco in the room, you can hear what sounds like a bullet casing hitting the floor right before you hear the gun hit the floor. Thanks for coming back Brandon. I agree. We watched it 5 or 6 times. i was able to hear the shell hit the ground before the gun while using my headphones turned up, and i also noticed that it didnt seem loud enough to even be a revolver in such a small room Who really cares, as long as it keeps us interested. Thats what matters. It does keep us interested, but this is fun too 🙂 What does it matter? Andrea died because of that crazy governor actually I was hoping he wouldn’t bback for the 4th season I want to c a biter as he calls them tear his throat out he’s mean conniving and an example of what is wrong with the world today I am in agreeance with the above comments. It was the gun hitting the ground. Its not like she kept it in her hand.. She didn’t really die obviously. People keep trying to use real logic about this. “Well once she died she wouldn’t be able to hold the gun anymore”. That scene was just sound effects and they used the wrong one. I think Michon helped her hold the gun, as a final act of respect of for their past friendship. If that was the case, the gun never hit the floor and the shell casing sound was a mistake. It was a shell casing rolling across concrete… And it did not sound like a large caliber revolver to me.. sounded like a 9mm auto or something similar. Besides, her comment just before was erroneous: “Don’t worry, I know how the safety works”…. Safety? On that revolver? NO! the safety comment was a throwback to the first time Rick and Andrea met, just a last shot at lightening the mood before the inevitable. Immediately after the shot there is a ringing sound that could either be echo after the shot or a shell casing hitting the floor, followed by the definite clunk of a firearm hitting the floor. The safety comments was a joke, it was something rick said to her the first time they met. I blog frequently and I genuinely appreciate your content. This great article has really peaked my interest.

Swords and Swordplay Part 1 | Part 2 | Part 3 | Part 4 | Part 5 Room to Maneuver I'm going to talk about the two-handed great sword here because I think that it illustrates some very important points about swords and their use. Not all two handed swords are great swords. The great sword was (relatively) long and heavy, but it's also what I think a lot of people expect of all swords. However, the two-handed great sword is not at all typical of swords in general. Take its description from Swords and Hilt Weapons: "Although large, measuring 60-70 in/150-175 cm overall, it was not as hefty as it looked, weighing something of the order of 5-8 lbs/2.3-3.6 kg. In the hands of the Swiss and German infantrymen it was lethal, and its use was considered as special skill, often meriting extra pay." So, though at it's largest it is longer than 5 1/2 feet it only weighs about 8 lbs. and is firmly at the big-ass end of the spectrum. That's heavy for a sword (remember, average is between 2.5 and 3.5 lbs.), and it required special training even for soldiers. They were used to hack paths through pole-arms wielded by infantry, and to protect said infantry from that same tactic. They were also somewhat more effective against plate armor, but mostly, two-handed swords were for getting through the pikemen. They also had a long "ricasso," which is a flat, blunt section of the sword below the hilt (on the blade side of the guard) which allowed the wielder to hold the sword with the grip in one hand and ricasso in the other. This opened up a range of thrusting techniques, as well as allowing for easy half-swording. Half-swording is a series of techniques in which a soldier grabs the ricasso in order to thrust the weapon like a halberd or spear, to parry a blow, or sometimes to entrap an opponent's limbs or sword. Not all swords have a ricasso, and most often it was the large swords--often meant to be wielded two-handed--which did. Generally, a sword with a ricasso meant for half-swording will also have a pair of projections above the ricasso which serve to guard the hand used to grasp the ricasso. Remember also that these huge swords had their downsides: "In the infantry unit, the German and Swiss Landsknechts positioned the Doppelsöldner (Soldiers trained and paid to wield the two-handers) in the front ranks for a long time to strike down the opposing pikes and to hack out breaches into which one's own soldiers could penetrate. However it would become unusable, as soon as the opposing forces collided with one another, and there would be increased pressure from the back ranks onto the front ranks, which created a thick melee." (Kamniker and Krenn, p. 130) In a close fight, 5 foot of sword isn't as easy to swing as 3 feet, and that's also a consideration if a soldier is fighting inside a building. If you don't have room to swing it, you can't use it as effectively. While a soldier may still be able to thrust--and with the two-handed sword would have had some pole-arm techniques open to them--confined spaces limit mobility, which limits the flexibility of the weapon. That isn't to say that you can't use a sword in a tight space, but it is a consideration, especially if it's not one particularly designed for thrusting. If your hero/ines are wandering through a space so small they can't walk two abreast, obviously a 3 foot long anything is going to be harder to use than a 6 inch anything. Drawing the weapon is also a consideration. If the sheath is worn on the body, you have to take into account how long the blade is and how long the wielder's arm is, and figure out whether or not the arm is long enough to draw the blade completely from the sheath. I recommend trying this for yourself; take a long stick, broom, etc. and try to draw it like a sword. What length is comfortable (and possible) for someone of your height? Longer or heavier swords are not always better. (You see my restraint? I'm not making any double entendres here. Not a one! I am calling your attention to that fact, so I suppose I lose some restraint points, but seriously!) In fact, one of the advantages of civilians using rapiers for self-defense was that they killed each other less. It's much easier to pull a blow from a rapier than from a knife. Knives, in close combat, are very lethal. It's pretty easy to stab someone deeply, regardless of training, and while knife fighting has techniques all its own, outside a battlefield knowing how to hold a knife is generally good enough to kill your average person. Much like today, actually. (Although all bets are off if your character takes a running start down the street while screaming threats with the knife raised over their head. :-D ) When considering what types of swords your characters and cultures might use, consider where they most often fight. Guards, for instance, may often be called upon to defend castle corridors as well as courtyards. Soldiers who fight in forests aren't going to want to get their sword caught on a tree, and fighters who spend even part of their time underground will have to take that into consideration as well.

The humanitarian and environmental impact of nuclear weapons testing, detonations and accidents has become a topic of renewed interest within the past decade. Since 1950, at least 32 nuclear weapons accidents, known as “broken arrows,” have been reported, the effects of which have ranged from moderate to severe, and sometimes even fatal. The catastrophic consequences of intentionally detonating nuclear weapons are even greater cause for concern, as proven by the destruction, death and long-term residual effects of the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombings in 1945. Modern nuclear weapons are exponentially more powerful than those used in 1945, with the potential for massive, widespread devastation. Recently, America began building a massive nuclear weapon with a destructive power twenty times greater than the atomic bomb that devastated Hiroshima. With approximately $100 billion invested into this acquisition alone, the prevalence and threat of nuclear weapons is an issue of global concern. The future of humanity and the environment is threatened by the existence of these weapons, making nuclear disarmament a critical objective for survival. Entry into force of the TPNW has been a major leap forward in this direction and must be acted upon globally to secure humanity’s future.

On September 22, Mr. Burleigh gave a special lecture on nuclear power and nuclear weapons. This topic is near and dear to his heart, and a subject he says, is often misunderstood or misrepresented in the media. In this nuclear age”, he says, an understanding of what that means will lead to a more reasonable, intelligent approach to serious topics such as energy production and the threats of nuclear war. With the recent news of the development of a military nuclear program in a nearby country, this investigation into these topics is more important than ever. 9月22日，Mr. Burleigh 就核电和核武器进行了专题讲座。这个话题深入他心，而且这个话题经常被媒体误导或者误解。在这个核时代，他说，理解这些意义会有助于对能源生产和核战争威胁等严肃话题采取更合理、更智能的方法。尤其近期邻国发展军事核计划的新闻播出，对这些话题的调查比以往更为重要。

The SKS is a Soviet semi-automatic carbine chambered for the 7.62×39mm round, designed in 1943 by Sergei Gavrilovich Simonov. Its complete designation, SKS-45, is an initialism for Samozaryadny Karabin sistemy Simonova, 1945 (Russian: Самозарядный карабин системы Симонова, 1945; self-loading carbine of (the) Simonov system, 1945). The SKS-45 was manufactured at Tula Arsenal from 1949-1958 and at Izhevsk Arsenal in just 1953 and 1954, resulting in total Soviet production of about 2.7 million carbines. within the early 1950s, the Soviets took the SKS carbine out of front-line service and replaced it with the AK-47; however, the SKS remained in second-line service for decades. it’s still used as a ceremonial piece these days. The SKS was wide exported, and was also licensed for production by the eastern bloc nations, romania and east germany, as well as China, wherever it absolutely was selected the “Type fifty six Carbine”. The East German version was called the fastening S, the Albanian as the Model 561 and North Korean because the “Type 63”. The SKS is in style on the civilian surplus market as a hunting and marksmanship semi-automatic rifle in many countries, including the united states, Canada, and New zealand. Its age and numbers make it relatively cheap to purchase, and steel cased 7.62x39mm ammunition is one of the least expensive centerfire cartridges currently on the market. The SKS was the second piece to be divided for the 7.62×39mm M43 round, with the first being the RPD. - Type: Semi-Automatic DMR Rifle - Ammo: 7.62mm, 10 shots per clip - Capacity: 500 - Power: Mid - Effective Range: Mid - Stability: Mid - Firing Rate: Low

Abstract for:Was the Atomic Bomb Necessary to End the Pacific War? In 1945, President Truman and the United States dropped the atomic bomb on Japan in both Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The mission resulted in mass civilian casualties, totaling between 100,000 to 200,000 deaths and creating lasting detrimental nuclear effects such as starvation and poor health conditions. In the few days after the second bomb was dropped, the Japanese surrendered. Despite ending in a surrender and ending the Pacific War, many still ask the question whether the bomb was the best approach in trying to induce a surrender, and more importantly, if this action was the direct cause for surrender. This model aims to test if the bombs were not necessary for Japanese surrender by assessing the Japanese population and supply chain dynamics and the amount of pressure they would have been subjected to with a continued U.S. blockade and a Soviet Invasion of Manchuria.

A space-age “force field” capable of protecting armoured vehicles and tanks by repelling incoming fire is being developed by British military scientists. When a threat from incoming fire is detected by the vehicle, the energy stored in the supercapacitor can be rapidly dumped onto the metal plating on the outside of the vehicle, producing a strong electromagnetic field. Scientists behind the project claim this would produce a momentary “force field” capable of repelling the incoming rounds and projectiles. Dr. Arkin has begun work on an ethical system for robots based on the concept of “guilt.” As a robot makes decisions, such as whether to fire its weapons and what type of weapon to use, it would constantly assess the results and learn. If the robot established that its weapons caused unnecessary damage or casualties, it would scale back its use of weapons in a future encounter. If the robot repeatedly used excessive force, it would shut down its weapons altogether though it could continue to perform its other duties such as reconnaissance. from Live Science: Silicon may represent one of Earth’s more common elements, but it transformed Silicon Valley into a high-tech corridor and helped usher the world into the Information Age. Now rare earth elements with exotic names such as europium and tantalum hold the key to hybrid cars, wind turbines and crystal-clear TV displays — that is, if a looming supply shortage doesn’t stop innovation in its tracks. Lots of geopolitical issues here, but the bottom line is that we need to find or develop a new variety of sustainable ‘tomorrow building’ materials.

Thursday, January 18, 2007 Lockheed Martin surface to air defensive shield New Skyshield system destroys enemy missiles with cloud of tungsten submunitions TEL AVIV — Lockheed Martin is developing its Skyshield air defense system for protection against missiles and rockets. The development is focused on an interceptor that forms a cloud of submunitions to destroy incoming enemy projectiles. In the company's latest newsletter, Lockheed Martin reported the development of a surface-to-air munition to destroy incoming short-range rockets, artillery shells and mortars. The December 2006 Newsline newsletter reported that in static tests the munitions were successful in penetrating and exploding the warhead of Kassam-class, short-range missiles and Katyusha-class rockets of the type that have been aimed at Israel in recent months. "The test rockets were precise copies of the original," the company said.Skyshield, also designed to destroy enemy helicopters and unmanned aerial vehicles, involves two 35-mm cannons and tracking radar. The radar can detect and track small projectiles.The system can fire 1,000 radar-guided shells per minute, the company said. The warhead is called Advanced Hit Efficiency and Destruction. Each AHEAD shell contains 152 submunitions made of tungsten, capable of penetrating an incoming missile, rocket or mortar shell. Lockheed Martin said the bomblets emitted toward their target form a lethal cloud that either destroys the incoming missile or diverts its path. The company said Skyshield does not produce collateral damage."The small tungsten projectiles lose their speed quite quickly when they pass the target, and in their final speed the components do not harm people," the newsletter said.Lockheed Martin has used an unidentified special material for the AHEAD shell designed to penetrate incoming projectiles. The company has proposed delivery of the first enhanced Skyshield to Israel this year. The system reportedly costs around $15 million.

Other weapons than guns kill To the editor: On April 23, a man drove a van along a Toronto sidewalk killing 10 people. Canadians didn’t protest with signs saying, “Ban the van.” Automobiles are never blamed for murders like guns are. A recent letter said assault rifles are weapons of mass destruction and should be banned. What about bolt-action rifles? The world’s most successful sniper used one. “The White Sniper” by Tapio Saarelainen tells about Simo, a Finnish sniper in the 1939-1940 Winter War when the outnumbered Finns fought the invading Red Army of the Soviet Union. Simo killed 542 enemy soldiers (40 in one day) with his bolt-action rifle, a record for snipers that still stands. War is evil but sometimes necessary. The Winter War is a perfect example of a nation’s survival depending on its ability to fight a tyrant’s army. If Finland had been conquered, Stalin planned to deport most Finns to Siberia and resettle their homeland with Russians. Sims outlived the USSR. He was born in 1905 when Finland was in the Russian Empire. The 1917 Bolshevik Revolution brought Communist tyranny to Russia, and Dec. 6 that year Finland declared it independence. Simo died in 2002, 11 years after the Soviet Union collapsed. He lived 85 of his 97 years in a free and independent Finland. Rapid-firing guns aren’t the only ones that are deadly in the hands of a criminal or soldier. A dozen people are just as dead if all 12 are killed in one day by an assault rifle or one per day in a 12-day period by a bolt-action, lever-action or single-shot rifle. Are you safer if the neighborhood nut doesn’t own an assault rifle? Maybe he will use a motor vehicle as a weapon.

Ted Taylor was an American theoretical physicist, specifically concerning nuclear energy. His higher education includes a PhD from Cornell University in theoretical physics. Although Taylor is relatively unknown to the public, his most noteworthy contributions to the field of nuclear weaponry were his small bomb developments at the Los Alamos Laboratory in New Mexico. He is credited with numerous landmarks in fission nuclear weaponry development, including having developed the smallest, most powerful, and most efficient fission weapons ever tested by the US. Though Taylor was not considered a brilliant physicist from a calculative viewpoint, his vision and creativity allowed him to thrive in the field. The later part of Taylor’s career was focused on nuclear energy instead of weaponry, and included his work on Project Orion, nuclear reactor developments, and anti-nuclear proliferation.

This weapon has seen little design modification since its development in the late 21st century. It is standard issue to Heavy Weapons Specialists in all military forces due to its unparalleled direct impact and radius damage. The UAC improved the design slightly by adding an automated quick reload. The weapon casing has been retrofitted to accept UAC developed modifications. This simple modification applies a nano-fiber membrane to the fuse of the projectile upon leaving the firing chamber. This membrane contains a graphite weave laced with low density explosive, allowing the operator to override the impact fuse and detonate the explosive charge within the projectile at any time after launch. Care must be used when employing this modification, as there is no safety system present to prevent self-harm. Each projectile for the UAC rocket launcher is fitted with a guidance system at manufacture. This modification activates that guidance system. Micro motors in the fin assembly will guide the rocket towards a "painted target". When the operator uses the built in laser targeter to lock on a target, a salvo if three rockets is launched in rapid succession. Targeting requires a steady hand for several seconds, but once achieved the guided projectiles never miss their mark.

Why scientists still don’t know how to intercept nuclear missiles Amid the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the specter of nuclear war hovers in the public mind in a way not seen since the Cold War. Indeed, as the international community slaps Russia with an array of restrictions and sanctions, it’s hard not to slip into a worst-case nuclear scenario, especially since Russia has the largest stockpile of nuclear weapons in the world. world. More alarmingly, Russian President Vladimir Putin recently put Russian deterrent forces on high alert, including nuclear weapons. Many experts agree that this level of threat is unprecedented in the post-Cold War era. But given how far computers, drones, and laser technologies have come since the Cold War era, you’d think advanced technology could deter a nuclear threat. Indeed, in 1983, President Ronald Reagan announced the launch of a program – derisively called “Star Wars” by critics – by which America could protect itself from strategic ballistic nuclear weapons from space. Yet 39 years have passed since that announcement. So, are we there already? In other words: if the army of a foreign country launched, for example, an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) – that is, a missile with a minimum range of 5,500 kilometers – the United States Could United or another country block or intercept it? Engineers have pondered this question for decades. Yet, curiously, and despite monumental advances in physics, computing and AI over the past four decades, the technical problem of missile interception has yet to be solved. “There’s no law of physics against the prospect of intercepting them, but the laws of physics make it extremely difficult – and create all these constraints on how difficult it will be to intercept it,” physics professor James Wells at the University of Michigan, says Salon. But Wells noted that such a thing is certainly physically possible. “There is no theorem that says ‘we cannot achieve missile defense’,” he added. Want more health and science stories in your inbox? Subscribe to Salon The Vulgar Scientist’s weekly newsletter. Technically, the United States Is have a defense ICBM missile system. It’s called Ground-based Midcourse Defense (GMD), and it’s the only system currently deployed to defend the continental United States, with 44 interceptors based in Alaska and California. Unfortunately, that probably doesn’t work. A recent study sponsored by the American Physical Society concluded that GMD cannot be relied upon to counter even a limited nuclear strike. The study specifically focused on North Korea’s ICBMs and determined that the US defense systems in place are unlikely to be reliable enough to guarantee mission success within the next 15 years. Experts tell Salon that despite advances in technology, as Wells noted, there are several reasons why this is such a difficult problem to solve, scientifically speaking. The main reason is that it is simply extremely difficult to intercept something so small (about a meter long) moving so fast (15,000 miles per hour) in such a short time. Not to mention that part of the trajectory of these warheads takes place in space. “It’s a really, really tough job,” Dr. Laura Grego, a Stanton nuclear security fellow at MIT’s Nuclear Security and Policy Laboratory, told Salon. “One of the reasons it’s so difficult is that the timelines for a nuclear armed ICBM attack are very short from launch to landing – it’s going to take 30 or 40 minutes – your defense has to be ready and effective on these deadlines.” Likewise, as Grego noted, “because the stakes are so high, it really has to work almost perfectly the first time.” Indeed, the trajectory of an ICBM has three different phases: the acceleration phase, the mid-course phase and the terminal phase, all of which generally take place in less than an hour from launch to strike. Grego explained that engineers have long targeted the mid-course phase, when the ICBM is coasting after launch to its destination, as an optimal time to intercept. RELATED: Here’s What Would Happen To Earth If A Nuclear War Erupted Between The West And Russia Grego said ICBMs are, by design, difficult to intercept. The warheads, which are multiple and emerge from the cone of the missile, are “relatively small”, making it difficult to attack. Some of these warheads could be decoys and contain nothing. Similarly, the ICBM’s journey takes it through the vacuum of space – where, as Grego puts it, “you have no air resistance or very little air resistance, so a light decoy is not slowed down compared to a heavy warhead.” It is therefore difficult to decipher which is the real warhead and which is or are fake. Grego explained that this is called the “discrimination problem”. “You’ll have to figure out what the real warhead is, what the real threat is, and what the decoys are,” Grego said, noting there’s about 30 minutes allotted to figure that out. Another option would be to intercept all decoys, but Grego said that might not be feasible in such a short period of time. But what about trying to intercept the ICBM during the boost phase, before the warhead and decoys are deployed? “This part of the trip is really only three to five minutes, depending on the type of launch missile,” Grego said. “It’s just active power stealing for three to five minutes.” This window is extremely short and therefore incredibly difficult to figure out how to intercept, Grego noted. In order to intercept the missile during this phase, the defender would need to be very close to the launch site to arrive in time. Wells added that there are concerns that interception during the boost phase could detonate the warhead in friendly territory. “It’s a famous ‘missing problem’, as they call it – where you intercepted it, but the warhead continues,” Wells said. “There are some significant issues and you really need to make sure you’ve neutralized the ICBM’s ability to do damage, and that’s an additional issue in the storyline.” Experts say it’s not impossible to create a robust and reliable ICBM shutdown system – but it is certainly very difficult. “The stakes are so high that you want to rely on an almost foolproof system,” Grego said. “You would want a system that you can rely on that would eliminate the death and destruction that a nuclear attack would have, and that’s very hard to do reliably.” Learn more about nuclear weapons:
