The Record of Decision is now available for viewing.
Proposed testing and training activities are similar to those that have occurred in the Study Area for decades.
The EIS/OEIS supports the Navy’s request for federal regulatory permits and authorizations under the Marine Mammal Protection Act and the Endangered Species Act.
The Navy's Proposed Action allows for continued testing and training in support of military readiness and Department of Defense mission requirements and to provide combat-ready forces.
The Navy’s Proposed Action is to continue military readiness activities and increase testing and training activities that are the same as or similar to those currently occurring. Similar testing and training activities were previously analyzed in the March 2002 Naval Air Warfare Center Weapons Division Point Mugu Sea Range Final EIS/OEIS and environmental assessments completed for the Point Mugu Sea Range since 2002. The Proposed Action includes ongoing military readiness activities, including missile launch operations and directed-energy activities originating from Naval Base Ventura County Point Mugu and San Nicolas Island. Testing and training activities would be conducted at sea and in designated airspace within the Study Area.
The purpose of the Proposed Action is to provide modern instrumented airspace, sea space, testing and training areas, testing and training facilities, and range infrastructure to fully support current, emerging, and foreseeable future testing and training requirements.
The Navy updated previously analyzed testing and training activities because analytical methods used in the 2002 analysis are not consistent with the current modeling and analyses in more recent Navy environmental documents for the same type of activities. Potential impacts were reexamined based on new science, data, and analytical methods.
As part of the Proposed Action, the Navy proposes to continue implementing standard operating procedures designed to provide for safety and mission success. Additionally, the Navy is proposing to implement mitigation measures to avoid or minimize potential impacts from the alternatives being considered. The final suite of mitigation measures to be implemented will be determined during the consultation processes with regulatory agencies.
Alternative 1 is the Navy preferred alternative because it includes the highest potential annual level of planned activities needed to ensure the Navy is ready to respond to a national emergency and to meet long-term requirements.
The National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) requires federal agencies to evaluate a range of reasonable alternatives to achieve the purpose of and need for the Proposed Action. In the Final EIS/OEIS, the Navy analyzed the potential environmental impacts of three alternatives, including a No Action Alternative.
Alternative 1 (Preferred Alternative)
No Action Alternative
The Point Mugu Sea Range is located adjacent to Los Angeles, Ventura, Santa Barbara, and San Luis Obispo counties along the Pacific Coast of Southern California and includes 36,000 square miles of controlled sea and airspace designated for testing and training activities.
Naval Air Warfare Center Weapons Division Point Mugu meets its mission to conduct state-of-the-art weapons systems testing and evaluation, and maintains military operational readiness, by providing a safe, realistic, and instrumented sea range to support testing and training in a maritime environment. Vessels, aircraft, and weapons systems must be able to perform in realistic marine environments and operate as intended, thus improving system accuracy and personnel safety.
The Navy is committed to being a good steward of the environment. At the same time, the Navy must test and train with new technologies to defend the United States and its interests. The offshore areas of Southern California are critical testing and training areas for the Navy. All systems and equipment must be tested prior to deployment and operational use. Simulators alone are not adequate substitutes for live testing and training in a real-world environment. To ensure accuracy and safety, systems are tested in varying marine environments.
The Point Mugu Sea Range provides test and evaluation information to the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) and supports weapons system development programs and DoD research. It is the DoD’s largest and most extensively instrumented over-water test range and offers realistic littoral (nearshore or shallow water) and open-ocean operating environments. The range is also equipped with airspace that can be temporarily expanded as needed through coordination with the Federal Aviation Administration. The airspace is critical to meeting a range of testing and training requirements.
The Navy has conducted testing and training activities in the Study Area for decades, with some activities dating back to 1946 when the range was established. Technology advancements and evolving international threats result in the development of weapons with longer ranges and greater precision. The Point Mugu Sea Range is the only instrumented sea range in the United States that can safely accommodate testing and training of these expanded weapons systems.
Testing and training activities in the Study Area support three primary mission areas, which require unique skills, sensors, weapons, and technologies to accomplish the overall mission:

Here are several important bow hunting pimple free be excess successful as possible on the next bow hunting trip. Very simply, bow hunting is now more and more popular saving seemingly each day, because are enamored with this particular kind of money.
If you’re not familiar with bowhunting, it is extremely simply, hunting using a bow and arrow. These are definitely manufactured away from an accommodating material. There’s a chord that links both ends from the strap to create tension, as well as the arrow is usually a straight shaft with a sharp point.
Bow hunting is certainly a common form of hunting, as they have been in use for literally thousands of years. Well before the gun was invented, hunters utilized the bow and arrow to hook what you wished to. Bow and arrow hunting continues to be alive and thriving today, therefore it would likely generate a great choice for you for ones hunting endeavors.
Take into account that bow and arrow hunting is generally a state by state decision with regards to how much regulation there’s about it. Usually, all depends on the portion of the state that you are hunting, the amount of animal you’re going after, the time of year, etc.
In reality, sometimes bow hunters are restricted from hunting through the same time his rifle hunters, about protect their safety. Obviously, bow hunter should also be much much better their animal when pursuing the not gun hunter is, because bows cannot go as far as a bullet. Therefore, bow hunters are in risk when they go hunting inside same area as someone gun hunting.
Don’t forget on that the most important thing you need on your bow hunting are, simply, the particular bow and arrows that you are utilizing. When evaluating the best though, bear in mind it cheaper is definitely not always better; in reality, to seek out high quality, it’s easy to times needed to pay a decent price for this.
Usually, the cheaper bows won’t offer very good quality, and obviously you desire the best for effective money. Without the, you may never be nearly as good a bow hunter as you otherwise might.
How do we find a very good bow and arrow or even for you make use of? If you aren’t informed about it, it is best to enroll a help to anyone else for bow hunting tips. Just for this you could either see your local store and inquire them those that work best, are go on the Internet and browse reviews about different arrows to find out which you are the best. In either case, discover acquainted with which ones are definitely the top, you should definitely find this out from someone of the you are able to spend money on the most beneficial.
Also, ensure that you invest an additional bow wire before going hunting. For example, the bow wire may break if you are out hunting, of course, if here is the case you intend to have an extra one handy. This really isn’t that uncommon occurrence, so making extra investment is perhaps really worth the money.
Congratulations! You are going embark on one of the most exciting sports seen to man. Again, archery and bow hunters have existed for hundreds of years, and you’re simply planning to enter among the longest running most popular sports around the world. Hopefully these bow hunting tips is to become a devoted and successful bow hunter immediately.

One of the tools used to compare the effects of ammunition is the "wound profile." Wound profiles are simply dimensioned photographs or carefully prepared scale drawings of test firings in calibrated ballistic gelatin. The wound profiles below are some typical examples of what a bullet does on impact.
Properly prepared and calibrated ballistic gelatin gives performance
and penetration results within about 2 percent of of results obtained in
actual tissue. "Properly prepared" means that the gelatin is a 10 percent
mixture of ballistic gelatin (Kind and Knox Type 250) prepared water heated
to no more than104° F (40° C) and then stored and shot at a stabilized
39° F (4° C).
This particular profile is that of an early .45ACP 185gr. Silvertip
Winchester @ 940 f/s. This is a classic non-fragmenting expanding bullet
wound profile. The narrow portion at the start of the permanent cavity
is called the "neck" and its length is a function of the bullet's design.
This particular load is a little short on penetration at 25cm (9.8") with
an expansion of .85". As a comparison the Hornady +P 230gr XTP at 880 f/s
gave 15.6" penetration and .72" expansion, the Hornady 200gr XTP at 850
f/s gave 18.5" and .54", the Winchester 230gr Black Talon at 858 f/s gave
13.5" and .73", and the Remington 185gr at 1020 f/s gave 10.5" and .83".
Interestingly, Winchester must have got the word because a later lot of
this ammunition gave 882 f/s and 11" of penetration and .74" expansion.
For comparison the GI M1911 Ball ammo (230gr at 869 f/s) produced a penetration
This particular profile is that of a ..38SPL +P 158gr. lead semi-wadcutter
hollow point "FBI" load @ 880 f/s. This is another classic non-fragmenting
expanding bullet wound profile. This particular load shows good penetration
at 32cm (12.6") and good expansion at .59". Perhaps this is one reason
that this loading has a good reputation on the street. The Winchester Black
Talon 9mm 147gr JHP at 981 f/s produced an almost identical profile with
penetration of 35cm (13.8") and and expansion of .61". In the .40 caliber
ammo the profiles were very similar with the Hornaday 155gr XTP at 1090
giving 14.3" penetration and .57" expansion, the 180gr XTP at 970 f/s giving
14.5" and .67", and the Winchester 180gr Black Talon giving 13.4" and .68".
This profile is the Remington 125gr JSP .357 Magnum at 1390 f/s which
has an excellent reputation on the street. Note the shape and size of the
temporary and permanent cavities are very similar to the .38 Special round
above and penetration is only about 1.5" greater. Expansion is .66", only
.07" greater than the .38 round in spite of the vastly increased velocity.
An excellent example of good bullet construction at work. The equivelent
JHP round gives about 10 percent less penetration and a .70 expansion.
This profile is the M855 5.56mm NATO cartridge, with a 62gr steel core
FMJ boat tailed bullet @ 3035 f/s. This is a classic fragmenting rifle
bullet profile. Penetration is acceptable at 34cm (13.4"). Note the long
narrow neck of about 9 cm (4") before the bullet tumbles and fragments.
The original M193 55gr round produces a similar profile but it has a longer
neck, and slightly smaller temporary and permanent cavities. Both of these
bullets fracture at the cannelure at velocities above about 2700 f/s. Below
that velocity the bullets simply tumble without producing the extensive
permanent cavity much like the 7.62 mm M80 ball round.
This is the wound profile of the 7.62x39 PS Steel Core AK-47 round at
2340 f/s. Great penetration but otherwise not very impressive, eh? The
permanent cavity is flat in cross-section. I removed two sections so the
image would fit on the page better. At around 60cm the bullet yawed downward
and wound up base first as shown.
This is the profile of the 5.45mm AK-74 round at 3066 f/s. The lack
of fragmentation makes a smaller permanent wound cavity then that achieved
by the M16. However, penetration in flesh is better because of no fragmentation.
The permanent cavity is actually flat in cross-section due to the long
narrow bullet's tumbling so it is not as effective as the M16 rounds.
This profile is the M80 7.62mm NATO cartridge, a 149gr FMJ boat tailed
bullet at 2730 f/s. This is a classic FMJ military bullet profile for modern
non-fragmenting / non-expanding spitzer bullets. The bullet ends up base
first at a penetration of 25.6". The permanent cavity is flat in cross-section.
Note the long neck before the bullet starts to tumble, but in this case
at only 2700 f/s and with its heavy jacket the bullet doesn't fragment.
Interestingly, if this bullet is driven at 3000 f/s it fragments and behaves
just like the M855 5.56mm bullet. Have you noticed the trend for FMJ spitzer
flat base/spitzer BT bullets that do not fragment to end up base first?
This profile is of the Winchester .30-30 170gr Silvertip at 2020 f/s.
This is typical of medium velocity, expanding rifle bullets.
This profile is of the Winchester .30-06 150gr Softpoint at 2923 f/s.
Note the larger permanent cavity than the .30-30 but almost identical penetration.
Not something you want to get shot with.
This profile is of the wound created by a 12ga. 27 pellet #4 buck at
1350 f/s. Penetration depth of the deepest single pellet is only 10.6"
with the majority between 6" and 10", which corresponds to the known performance
of #4 buck--in other word erratic. #1, 00, or 000 buck are a much better
choices giving penetrations of about 13", 14" and 15" respectively for
standard lead buckshot. While I don't have any profiles available, reports
I have received from testers indicate that the use of hardened and/or plated
buckshot can provide about a 10-15 percent increase in penetration due
to the lack of pellet deformation with the harder pellets.
This is an actual photograph of the wound created by a 12 ga load of
1¼ ounces (about 169 pellets)of #4 shot (not buckshot) at 1200 f/s.
The maximum penetration is about 11 inches but the majority of the shot
is located between about 5½ and 7½ inches. The damage pattern
is typical of shotgun wounds at field distances.
This profile is of the 12ga 1oz (437gr) rifled slug at 1513 f/s. That's
about a 1" wound channel and 14" of penetration! Observed penetration for
Foster type rifled slugs ranges from 14" to around 18" depending on brand
and hardness. No wonder some professional hunters like the 12ga slug as
a bear stopper at close range. However, the soft lead slug doesn't fare
too well on hard targets
This profile is of the so-called "wonder bullet" the .357 Glasser Safety
Slug, 80gr prefragmented bullet at 1785 f/s. This is typical performance
of the ultra light weight, high velocity and prefragmented bullets in general
. Note the very shallow penetration (4.7"). I'm not impressed, are you?
One famous case of small and fast failure (temporary cavity loads) was widely distributed in law enforcement training circles. A perp (Oops, excuse me--alleged perp.) received an incredible number of 9mm expanding bullets (somewhere around 36--all over his body including the chest and face) yet was not seriously inconvenienced for several minutes. Another similar case was the infamous FBI Dade County shoot out wherein one of the aggressively behaving antisocial misfits was hit solidly with a "high performance" 9mm 115gr JHP. Though the wound would have eventually proved fatal, it failed to penetrate deep enough. He was able to continue fighting and killed several agents with a rifle before being taken out of the fight with a more powerful and destructive load.
As to "big hole" failures, here in the People's Republic of NJ there was an incident awhile back that shook a lot of folks. A drugged up goblin was shot through the back door and seat of a van he was driving with a 12ga slug. He exited the van with an inch-and-a half hole blown clear through his chest. (Yes, Virginia, daylight was visible!) He ran about 25 yards firing his pistol at his pursuers until he collapsed. (And you thought you were well armed with your 9mm / .357 / 10mm / .45, eh?) Check the wound profiles above for the 12ga slug and compare it with a pistol bullet profile. Then ask yourself if you will ever feel well armed ever again. Under those circumstances a tactical nuke might have been needed to provide the needed incapacitation.
In the hunting area I'm sure that you have heard of accounts of Cape Buffalo receiving well placed hits of tremendous size and power (500 grains at 2000-2400 f/s) and who yet turned on their antagonist with malice afore thought and lethal intent even though the should have, by all rights, been dead on the spot.
Aways, keep this medical fact in mind:
Bullet hits to the torso cannot be counted upon to cause a person (or for that matter a game animal) to immediately cease his actions. Even a total loss of blood flow to the brain can still allow 10 seconds of purposeful action --more than enough time to empty a magazine into you or to stomp you to death.
As for me, even though there are no guarantees, I want to stack the deck in my favor as much as possible. I want to reliably cause the most damage possible with every shot. Since bullet expansion can't always be counted on due to intervening material and Hornady or Winchester don't offer tactical nuclear bullets, I don't like to count on a small bullet hopefully expanding to a bigger diameter. I like to stay with big at the start. Should I ever be lucky to go after dangerous big game I'll use all the gun I can handle. For personal defense I carry a .45 with 200-230 grain expanding bullets of proven design and penetration, but wouldn't feel too under gunned with a stout .40/10mm.
...and then there is always the Mozambique drill. But that's another

Altered Vorpal Rules
Variant Vorpal Rules: Vorpal weapons allow a user to deal more damage than normal via a supernaturally sharp edge. When attacking with a vorpal weapon, the player rolls an additional d4 and multiplies the base weapon damage by that amount. In addition, vorpal weapons increase their critical multiplier by 4, threat range by 1 and always bypass hardness.
For example, a Vorpal longsword would do 1d6x1d4 base damage, have a critical threat range of 18-20 and a critical multiplier of x6


Weapons Free: When you absolutely positively have to kill every cyborg or alien invader in the room.
When you are responsible for the survival of the last of the human race or when youâ€™re trying to defend a planet from a threat so malevolent that itâ€™s existence is a state secret, you need a weapon you can trust.Â Han Solo had his trusty BlasTech DL-44 slung low and holstered in a fast draw rig that left the trigger guard exposed.Â Solo ran with the front sight filed down to give him that extra eighth of a second drop in a firefight.Â Captain Kirk had his phaser.Â Leslie Nielsen had a good olâ€™ ray gun in â€œForbidden Planet.â€Â Unfortunately, even though you have the means travel across the galaxy, directed energy weapons are not an option.Â You are gonna kick it old school.Â No problem.Â In the words of a wise gunfighter from the American West, â€œGod created all men but Sam Colt madeâ€™em all equal.â€
Slug throwers.Â Kinetic energy weapons.Â Thunder sticks.Â Hard calibers.Â Good old fashioned guns firing good old fashioned bullets will serve you as well as any laser pistol.Â Unlike their energy based counter parts, the firearms seen in many of todayâ€™s most popular movies and television shows are more than well dressed props.Â They are real.
SG-1, the flagship team for Stargate Command, fought off alien invasion for 10 years.Â They saw action on hundreds of worlds, faced dozens of different hostile forces, and liberated the oppressed all across the galaxy.Â The mainstay in their arsenal was the P90 by FN Herstal.
In a case of art imitating life, in the first two seasons of â€œStargate SG-1â€Â Col. Oâ€™Neill and Capt. Carter slung H&K MP5s, a compact submachine gun that fires pistol caliber ammunition.Â The MP5 was also the weapon of choice for elite police units and special operations troops like the U.S Navy Seals.Â With the proliferation of body armor, soldiers (real and imaginary) needed a compact weapon with the firepower to defeat a better protected enemy.Â Enter the P90 – a weapon so reliable even an archeologist can run one.Â The P90 has been employed in both Gulf Wars, in Afghanistan and Iraq, and by police the world over – and by Stargate teams all across the galaxy.
Aviators and Marines of the Colonial Fleet were not just defending the Articles of Colonization but where the only armed force the stood against the Cylon threat.Â During the last three seasons of â€œBattlestar Galactica,â€ The FN Herstal Five-seveN was the chosen sidearm of the Colonial Fleet.
Developed in concert with the P90, the Five-seveN is a companion weapon the fires the same cartridge as itâ€™s big brother.Â The Colonial variant of the Five-seveN sported a nifty attachment that fired a big explosive round – perfect for knocking down the big chrome toasters.Â The real life version has an accessory rail where a flashlight or laser can be attached.
Beretta Cx-4 Storm
There is an adage among modern-day gunfighters, use your pistol to fight your way to your rifle.Â The rifle of choice for the Colonial Fleet was the Beretta Cx4 Storm.Â The Colonial Cx4 Storm was widely used during the Exodus from the Colonies and took down many cylons, skin jobs and toasters alike.Â The Cx4 fires pistol caliber ammunition so it probably wouldnâ€™t dent a toaster.Â The Colonial Cx4 did sport some real life tactical accessories: a red dot sight and a compact flashlight.
Earthbound warriors defending the home world require a weapon that isnâ€™t just powerful; it has to be reliable and modular.
Magpul, a small Colorado-based company, developed a rifle called the Masada – a weapon that retained the best elements of and eliminate the flaws of the M4/AR-15 platform.Â The Masada offered improved ergonomics, enhanced reliability, and a level of modularity never before available.Â With the Masada, soldiers can change barrel lengths and calibers in the field and without heavy tools.Â In a few minutes, aÂ Masada can go from a close quarters battle configuration to a sniper type configuration and back again.Â Magpul partnered with Remington to manufacture the military version and with Bushmaster Firearms to manufacture to the civilian variant of the Masada.Â The Masada has been renamed the ACR or Adaptive Combat Rifle and it has been featured in both â€œTransformersâ€ movies, â€œTerminator: Salvationâ€, the video game â€œModern Warfare 2,â€ and in the upcoming Christopher Nolan film â€œInception.â€
Whether youâ€™re hunting skinjobs, eliminating cyborgs, blasting toasters, or slaying Goaâ€™ould there is a real weapon that can handle the job.Â Who says science fiction is fiction.

The total launch package would weigh almost 1. This halves the required current through the rails, which reduces the power fourfold.
This decreases ammunition size and weight, allowing more ammunition to be carried and eliminating the hazards of carrying explosives or propellants in a tank or naval weapons platform.
Also, by firing more aerodynamically streamlined projectiles at greater velocities, railguns may achieve greater range, less time to target, and at shorter ranges less wind drift, bypassing the physical limitations of conventional firearms: "the limits of gas expansion prohibit launching an unassisted projectile to velocities greater than about 1.
Current railgun technologies necessitate a long and heavy barrel, but a railgun's ballistics far outperform conventional cannons of equal barrel lengths.
Railguns can also deliver area of effect damage by detonating a bursting charge in the projectile which unleashes a swarm of smaller projectiles over a large area.
Assuming that the many technical challenges facing fieldable railguns are overcome, including issues like railgun projectile guidance, rail endurance, and combat survivability and reliability of the electrical power supply, the increased launch velocities of railguns may provide advantages over more conventional guns for a variety of offensive and defensive scenarios.
Railguns have limited potential to be used against both surface and airborne targets. The first weaponized railgun planned for production, the General Atomics Blitzer system, began full system testing in September The company hopes to have an integrated demo of the system by followed by production by , pending funding.
Thus far, the project is self-funded. In October , General Atomics unveiled a land based version of the Blitzer railgun.
A company official claimed the gun could be ready for production in "two to three years". Railguns are being examined for use as anti-aircraft weapons to intercept air threats, particularly anti-ship cruise missiles , in addition to land bombardment.
A supersonic sea-skimming anti-ship missile can appear over the horizon 20 miles from a warship, leaving a very short reaction time for a ship to intercept it.
Even if conventional defense systems react fast enough, they are expensive and only a limited number of large interceptors can be carried.
A railgun projectile can reach several times the speed of sound faster than a missile; because of this, it can hit a target, such as a cruise missile, much faster and farther away from the ship.
Projectiles are also typically much cheaper and smaller, allowing for many more to be carried they have no guidance systems, and rely on the railgun to supply their kinetic energy, rather than providing it themselves.
The speed, cost, and numerical advantages of railgun systems may allow them to replace several different systems in the current layered defense approach.
The Navy plans for railguns to be able to intercept endoatmospheric ballistic missiles, stealthy air threats, supersonic missiles, and swarming surface threats; a prototype system for supporting interception tasks is to be ready by , and operational by This timeframe suggests the weapons are planned to be installed on the Navy's next-generation surface combatants, expected to start construction by India has successfully tested their own railgun.
Helical railguns  are multi-turn railguns that reduce rail and brush current by a factor equal to the number of turns.
Two rails are surrounded by a helical barrel and the projectile or re-usable carrier is also helical. The helical railgun is a cross between a railgun and a coilgun.
They do not currently exist in a practical, usable form. A helical railgun was built at MIT in and was powered by several banks of, for the time, large capacitors approximately 4 farads.
It was about 3 meters long, consisting of 2 meters of accelerating coil and 1 meter of decelerating coil.
It was able to launch a glider or projectile about meters. A plasma railgun is a linear accelerator and a plasma energy weapon which, like a projectile railgun, uses two long parallel electrodes to accelerate a "sliding short" armature.
However, in a plasma railgun, the armature and ejected projectile consists of plasma, or hot, ionized, gas-like particles, instead of a solid slug of material.
It is one of several United States Government efforts to develop plasma-based projectiles. The first computer simulations occurred in , and its first published experiment appeared on August 1, The weapon was able to produce doughnut-shaped rings of plasma and balls of lightning that exploded with devastating effects when hitting their target.
The project may or may not have been scrapped some time after Rail and insulator wear problems still need to be solved before railguns can start to replace conventional weapons.
This system was established in and has been operated for over 10 years. In a successor was created, project EDO-1, that used projectile with a mass of 0.
It used a track length of 0. China is now one of the major players in electromagnetic launchers; in it hosted the 16th International Symposium on Electromagnetic Launch Technology EML at Beijing.
The United States military have expressed interest in pursuing research in electric gun technology throughout the late 20th century due to how electromagnetic guns don't require propellants to fire a shot like conventional gun systems, significantly increasing crew safety and reducing logistics costs, as well as provide a greater range.
In addition, railgun systems have shown to potentially provide higher velocity of projectiles, which would increase accuracy for anti-tank, artillery, and air defense by decreasing the time it takes for the projectile to reach its target destination.
During the early s, the U. The main problem the U. Navy has had with implementing a railgun cannon system is that the guns wear out due to the immense pressures, stresses and heat that are generated by the millions of amperes of current necessary to fire projectiles with megajoules of energy.
While not nearly as powerful as a cruise missile like a BGM Tomahawk , that will deliver 3, MJ of destructive energy to a target, such weapons would, in theory, allow the Navy to deliver more granular firepower at a fraction of the cost of a missile, and will be much harder to shoot down versus future defensive systems.
For context, another relevant comparison is the Rheinmetall mm gun used on main battle tanks, which generates 9 MJ of muzzle energy. On January 31, , the U.
Navy tested a railgun that fired a projectile at A test of a railgun took place on December 10, , by the U. While similar in energy to the aforementioned test, the railgun used is considerably more compact, with a more conventional looking barrel.
A General Atomics-built prototype was delivered for testing in October In the U. A future goal is to develop projectiles that are self-guided — a necessary requirement to hit distant targets or intercepting missiles.
Some high velocity projectiles developed by the Navy have command guidance, but the accuracy of the command guidance is not known, nor even if it can survive a full power shot.
Currently, the only U. Navy ships that can produce enough electrical power to get desired performance are the three Zumwalt -class destroyers DDG series ; they can generate 78 megawatts of power, more than is necessary to power a railgun.
However, the Zumwalt has been cancelled and no further units will be built. Engineers are working to derive technologies developed for the DDG series ships into a battery system so other warships can operate a railgun.
Even if current ships, such as the Arleigh Burke -class destroyer , can be upgraded with enough electrical power to operate a railgun, the space taken up on the ships by the integration of an additional weapon system may force the removal of existing weapon systems to make room available.
The Navy is looking into other uses for railguns, besides land bombardment, such as air defense; with the right targeting systems, projectiles could intercept aircraft, cruise missiles, and even ballistic missiles.
The Navy is also developing directed-energy weapons for air defense use, but it will be years or decades before they will be effective.
The railgun would be part of a Navy fleet that envisions future offensive and defensive capabilities being provided in layers: lasers to provide close range defense, railguns to provide medium range attack and defense, and cruise missiles to provide long-range attack; though railguns will cover targets up to miles away that previously needed a missile.
One shot would require 6 million amps of current, so it will take a long time to develop capacitors that can generate enough energy and strong enough gun materials.
The most promising near-term application for weapons-rated railguns and electromagnetic guns, in general, is probably aboard naval ships with sufficient spare electrical generating capacity and battery storage space.
In exchange, ship survivability may be enhanced through a comparable reduction in the quantities of potentially dangerous chemical propellants and explosives currently employed.
Ground combat forces, however, may find that co-locating an additional electrical power supply on the battlefield for every gun system may not be as weight and space efficient, survivable, or convenient a source of immediate projectile-launching energy as conventional propellants, which are currently manufactured safely behind the lines and delivered to the weapon, pre-packaged, through a robust and dispersed logistics system.
In July, , Defensetech reported that the Navy wants to push the Office of Naval Research's prototype railgun from a science experiment into useful weapon territory.
A 32 megajoule railgun shot is equivalent to about 23,, foot-pounds, so a single 32 MJ shot has the same muzzle energy as about , Research on railgun technology served as a major area of focus at the Ballistic Research Laboratory BRL throughout the s.
Research into railguns continued after the Ballistic Research Laboratory was consolidated with six other independent Army laboratories to form the U.
Marine Corps and the U. Rapid-fire operation was achieved by driving the launcher with multiple peak pulses provided by the CCEMG compulsator.
The CCEMG railgun included several features: ceramic sidewalls, directional preloading, and liquid cooling. The U. Army Research Laboratory also monitored electromagnetic and electrothermal gun technology development at the Institute for Advanced Technology IAT at the University of Texas at Austin , one of five university and industry laboratories that ARL federated to procure technical support.
The facility also provided a power system that included thirteen 1- MJ capacitor banks, an assortment of electromagnetic launcher devices and diagnostic apparatuses.
The focus of the research activity was on designs, interactions and materials required for electromagnetic launchers.
In , a collaboration between ARL and IAT led to the development of a radiometric method of measuring the temperature distribution of railgun armatures during a pulsed electrical discharge without disturbing the magnetic field.
Using scanning electron microscopy and other diagnostic techniques, they evaluated in detail the influence of plasmas on specific propellant materials.
China is developing its own railgun system. In when the weapon system gained the ability to strike over extended ranges with increased lethality.
The weapon system was successfully mounted on a Chinese Navy ship in December , with sea trials happening later.
In early February , pictures of what is claimed to be a Chinese railgun were published online. Media suggests that the system is or soon will be ready for testing.
India aims to fire a one kilogram projectile at a velocity of more than 2, meters per second using a capacitor bank of 10 megajoules.
The package should be able to operate in the presence of any plasma that may form in the bore or at the muzzle exit and must also be radiation hardened due to exo-atmospheric flight.
Army's Dugway Proving Ground in Utah. The on-board electronics successfully measured in-bore accelerations and projectile dynamics, for several kilometers downrange, with the integral data link continuing to operate after the projectiles impacted the desert floor, which is essential for precision guidance.
Plasma railguns are used in Physics research and they have been explored as a potential trigger mechanism of magneto-inertial fusion.
However, plasma railguns are very different from solid mass drivers or weapons, and they only share the basic operational concept. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

Office of Naval Research. Die beschleunigende Kraft ist die Lorentzkraft : Die entgegengesetzten Schienenströme erzeugen zwischen den Schienen ein senkrecht zur Fläche zwischen den Schienen stehendes Magnetfeld.
Aufgrund der Rechtshändigkeit der Lorentzkraft wird das Projektil aus der Schiene heraus beschleunigt. Die Kraft auf das Geschoss ist nur von Magnetfeldstärke und Stromfluss abhängig und daher unabhängig von der Geschwindigkeit.
Als Stromquelle bzw. Energiespeicher kommen Superkondensatoren in Form von Impulsgeneratoren zum Einsatz. Alternativ werden auch Schwungräder als Energiespeicher verwendet, in diesem speziellen Fall Unipolarmaschinen oder deren Weiterentwicklung, die Compulsatoren.
Dort sollte bis der Prototyp einer funktionierenden Panzerkanone mit einem Kaliber von 60 Millimetern gebaut werden, die auf dem Railgun-Prinzip beruht.
Bisher waren mit allen Versuchsaufbauten nur wenige Schüsse möglich, bevor die Anlagen ausfielen. Die US Navy forscht in Washington an Railgun-Schiffsgeschützen, deren Geschosse auf bis zu Mach 7 beschleunigt werden, mit Mach 5 wieder in die Erdatmosphäre eintreten und eine Reichweite von mehr als Kilometern erreichen sollen.
BAE setzte als Ziel bis einen ersten Prototypen mit einer Energie von 32 Megajoule und bis einen mit 64 Megajoule fertigzustellen, während die Navy davon ausgeht, bis einen ersten einsatzfähigen Prototyp mit zugehörigen Unterstützungssystemen testen zu können.
Es soll auch eine Variante zur Abwehr von Interkontinentalraketen geben. Bis wurden rund 36 Millionen US-Dollar in das Projekt investiert, bis waren weitere Millionen eingeplant.
Ende Januar berichtete die Navy von einem Versuchsaufbau, der die bis dahin besten Leistungsergebnisse erbracht haben soll.
Das Aluminium-Geschoss erreichte dabei eine Energie von 10,68 Megajoule. Am General Atomics schätzt, dass die Waffe bis spätestens regulär auf Zerstörern der Arleigh-Burke-Klasse verwendet werden kann.
Der Prototyp ist vollständig transportabel. Im Zweiten Weltkrieg gab es Versuche durch deutsche und japanische Wissenschaftler, diese waren allerdings weitgehend erfolglos und wurden nach Kriegsende von den Alliierten übernommen.
Jahrhunderts Versuche unternommen wurden, leistungsfähige Railguns zu entwerfen, befinden sie sich noch immer in einer Entwicklungsphase.
Sie sollte der Raketenabwehr und als Antisatellitenwaffe dienen. Dort wurde eine MJ-Anlage installiert.
Railguns waren auch als Antriebsmethode für die Raumfahrt im Gespräch.


UNI condemns North Korea missile tests
North Korea claims to have tested a massive hydrogen bomb capable of being fitted on to a long-range missile
UNI Global Union roundly condemns North Korea for continuing with its irresponsible nuclear missile tests. North Korea claims it detonated a hydrogen bomb over the weekend which could be fitted to a long-range missile.
UNI Global Union General Secretary Philip Jennings said, “UNI wishes to add its voice of condemnation to those of South Korea and Japan, as well as other UN nations, calling for North Korea to halt missile tests which have the potential to provoke war.
“We join with the ITUC in urging dialogue to resolve issues on the Korean Peninsula and an end to actions which could see the region deteriorate into chaos.”
The size of the hydrogen bomb, believed to have been tested over the weekend by North Korea, is thought to be three times as powerful as the bombs that destroyed Nagasaki and Hiroshima in 1945. UNI has an understanding of the horrors of these events, having brought more than 2000 unionists to Nagasaki in 2010 for our World Congress, allowing them to gain an insight into the human misery of nuclear war.
UNI also receives an annual visit from the Nagasaki Peace Messengers. This group of high school students supported by relatives of the victims of the atomic bombings bring their message of peace to the United Nations in Geneva and present a petition of around 2 million signatories calling for a world free from nuclear weapons. Their recent visit was particularly poignant at a time when the United Nations adopted a Treaty Against Nuclear Weapons but when tensions have been escalating globally because of North Korea’s nuclear tests and President Trump’s verbally aggressive response.
Pyongyang has persistently defied United Nation’s sanctions and international pressure by developing nuclear weapons and testing missiles, and the provocations have intensified. In recent weeks North Korea has conducted intercontinental ballistic missile tests, sending a missile over Japan into the Pacific Ocean. North Korea has also threatened to fire missiles at the US Pacific territory of Guam.
The United Nations Security Council is to hold an emergency meeting to discuss its response. South Korea and Japan's leaders have agreed to push for a stronger UN resolution on North Korea, according to South Korean presidential sources.
UNI Global Union is dedicated to working towards a peaceful world and with that goal in mind, ‘Peace’ will feature strongly on the agenda of our next World Congress in Liverpool in June 2018. UNI is a proud member of ICAN, the International Campaign to Ban Nuclear Weapons, and the IPB, the International Peace Bureau.
UNI GS Philip Jennings is currently in Japan to meet with affiliates; the Korean Peninsula question will be on the agenda.

New Delhi, The US-made heavy-calibre Sig Sauer assault rifles are set to boost the combat lethality of Indian troops. The first batch of these rifles will be given to them this December.
As per the deal signed in February by the Ministry of Defence with US arms major Sig Sauer, 72,400 rifles will be purchased at Rs 700 crore.
These assault rifles will suit the army’s operational tactic of ‘shoot to kill’ instead of incapacitation’, according to defence experts.
These weapons may give an upper hand to troops in insurgency-hit areas. Troops are at present dependent on the INSAS rifles and have to wait for indigenous mass production of AK-203 rifles of Russian origin, the experts say.
Army Chief General Bipin Rawat said, here last week, by the end of year the first batch of the Sig Sauer rifles would arrive in a dismantled state and would be provided to troops after being assembled in the country.
The INSAS, designed by the Defence Research & Development Organization (DRDO) and produced by the state-run Ordnance Factory Board (OFB), was inducted into the army in 1994. But armed forces have not found the weapon reliable in terms of combat lethality, weight and sighting system...


When we hear the word flashlight, we remember about the flashlight which we keep in our kitchen to use when the current goes off. However, a tactical flashlight is different. It has been separately designed for police and military use. It can also be used with a weapon for low light shooting. They are generally much smaller when compared with the regular flashlights but are much more powerful. They are also made of high quality aluminum to increase its durability. Although they are mainly designed for tactical use, but they can also serve as an excellent self defense tool for regular use.
Just like a pocket knife, a tactical flashlight can serve as a great self defense tool. There will be a lot of situations where a tactical flashlight can be useful. And using them is very simple,all you have to do is just press a button. You don’t need any special training to use it. Apart from its self defense functions, you can also use it just like a normal flashlight. If you live in any area which is prone to frequent power outrage, then carrying a flashlight is a must.
3 Reasons To Carry A Tactical Flashlight
1. Helps to identify threats: Most attackers will just hide in the darkness and wait for the perfect opportunity to grab you. If you are passing by any suspicious dark area while walking, it will be better to just use the flashlight once to verify whether its safe. Having a flashlight will scare your enemies away, no one wants their face to be revealed.
2. You can blind your attackers: Still if anyone attacks you, then you can just flash the light in their eyes directly. It is powerful enough to blind your enemies for some seconds, giving you enough time to run away. Some of the top tactical LED flashlights also have a toothed bezel. When you momentarily blind your enemies, you can use it to hurt them.
3. You can carry it anywhere: It is not always possible to carry a hand gun everywhere. Some countries have very strict weapon laws. A tactical flashlight on the other hand can be used anywhere. You can also use it in an airplane.
How To Select The Top Tactical LED Flashlight
However, choosing the right kind of flashlight is extremely important. The main things which you should look before selecting a flashlight are:
1. Portable: It should be small enough and easy to carry. Make sure that it fits in your pocket properly.
2. Power: It should be strong enough to cause sufficient damage to your attacker. It should produce at least120 lumens of light.
3. Simple and easy to use: There are many different kinds of fancy flashlights available in the market. Some of them allows you to adjust the brightness depending on how hard you press the button. However, it is better to keep things simple. Just the normal on and off feature will be good enough. A good choice of a simple tactical flashlight is a x800 shadow hawk flashlight.
4. Durable: Make sure that you are using a tactical flashlight which is water proof. Also, it is better to use LED lights. They are more durable and does not get damaged when dropped.


Have you ever been to a shooting range? I have. And I will go again soon.
It was an interesting experience. We went to an outdoor shooting range. I got to shoot a .357 revolver and .45 semi-automatic. I got very comfortable with the revolver; it’s a better grip for me. I can’t remember the total amount of bullets I got to shoot, but I only made it near the target twice. Go figure! Photo set here


The Germans made a number of attempts at building a flame tank during World War II. Various existing chassis were converted for the purpose. Some captured French Char B1s saw their 75mm hull gun replaced with the flamethrower mechanism, while about one hundred Panzer IIs were equipped with double flamethrowers - one in the main turret and the second in a small turret at the front of the hull. Neither was particularly good.
Neither was the conversion of the Panzer III into the Flammpanzer III. After disappointing performance evaluations, most of the tanks were converted back to standard Panzer III configuration. Not to be deterred though, Hitler ordered more constructed in 1944, resulting in the discarded flamethrowers of the Plammpanzer IIIs being installed in StuG IIIs and Jagdpanzer 38(t)s.

Rheinmetall-Borsig’s 37mm anti-aircraft Flakpanzer, mounted on the chassis of the “Luchs” recon tank is more in line with the standard design seen during the war, where the anti-aircraft gun was placed in an open topped turret.
The direction of development, however, was towards an enclosed cabin for the entire crew. The development program began in early 1944 and the Kugelblitz, armed with twin-30mm guns, was intended to be as compact as possible with a low profile. Although it was considered a rather good design, it came too late for more than a small handful of actual prototypes to be built for testing, with plans for production quashed by the impending fall of the Third Reich.
Competing with the Kugelblitz was the Coelian, a much more imposing Flakpanzer with dual-37mm cannons mounted on a Panther chassis. Only a dummy turret was constructed for testing, and unhappy with the firepower offered vis-à-vis the underlying chassis, it was scrapped in favor of mounting 55mm guns instead, but the prototype was not built before war’s end.

M, the tanks were intended for use in the urban hellscape of Stalingrad, but by the time the tank was ready for deployment, the city had been cutoff. Production ceased after about 100 examples had been made, and field performance was considered quite disappointing, leading to their withdrawal from combat shortly after their debut in early 1943.
One of a handful of Panzer III “rail-cruisers” constructed with the intention of anti-partisan operations. The rail-wheels could be lifted up to allow normal off-rail operations using its treads, but when deployed, the tank could reach 100 kph on the tracks.

The building of HMS Exeter was started on the 1st August 1928 at the Devonport Dockyard, Plymouth. She was launched on 18th July 1929 and completed on 27th July 1931.
Exeter had a pair of catapults (although only one aircraft could be carried at a time) angled out from amidships, with the associated crane stepped to starboard.
In 1932, Exeter had side plating added amidships to the upper deck to enclose her open main deck as far as the after funnel
In 1935, the single 2-pounder guns were replaced by Vickers machine guns. Early war modifications saw the replacement of the single 4 inch (102 mm) guns with modern twin Mark XVI guns, a single 20mm Oerlikon gun was added to both 'B' and 'X' roof turrets. Radar Type 286 air warning was added requiring the pole masts to be replaced by tripods, this primitive metric set had separate Tx and Rx aerials , one at each masthead. Radar Type 284 was fitted to the director control tower atop the bridge to provide ranging information and spot fall of shot.
HMS Exeter formed part of the South American Division with Cumberland and together with the Ajax and Achilles engaged the German pocket battle ship ‘Admiral Graf Spee’ at the Battle of the River Plate on 13th December 1939. This action resulted in the scuttling of the Admiral Graf Spee several days later.
This action resulted in the loss of 61 crew members with a further 23 injured. Exeter made for Port Stanley in the Falklands for emergency repairs which were completed January 1940, she then returned to Devonport for full repairs over fourteen months between February 1940 and March 1941. That she survived such damage from direct hits with large calibre shells is a testament to her design and construction, as well as the damage control efforts of her crew.
On the entry of the Japan into the war in December 1941, Exeter formed part of the ABDACOM naval force which was intended to defend the Dutch East Indies from Japanese invasion.
On 27th February, 1942, she was badly damaged in the Battle of the Java Sea when she received a hit in the boiler room and was ordered to Surabaya. The destroyer HMS Electra was sunk covering her withdrawal. On 1st March while Exeter was attempting to reach the Sunda Straits, she was again engaged by the Japanese cruisers Nachi and Haguro. Exeter was soon badly damaged by gunfire and a torpedo from the destroyer Inazuma. Taking on water she began to list to starboard, by noon on the same day she sank. Her escorting destroyers, HMS Encounter and USS Pope were also lost in this engagement. About 800 Allied seamen, including the commander of Exeter, Captain O.L. Gordon., became prisoners of war.

The Indian Army’s attack helicopters are to be equipped with airborne fire control radars that will overcome the operational limitations being imposed by the present systems being used and consequently enhance their combat potential.
This will require a comprehensive upgrade by retrofitting the required hardware and the avionics suite and integrating those with the existing systems and weapons package.
The Army is open to acquisition from indigenous or foreign vendors, sources said.
At present, attack helicopters are equipped only with electro-optical systems and infra-red pods for detecting targets, which have limited operational capability in low visibility conditions or bad weather, sources said.
This, according to an Army Aviation Corps officer, reduces the effective employment of attack helicopters.
The Aviation Corps fleet comprises the indigenous Dhruv as well as the French origin Chetak and Cheetah helicopters. Rudra and Lancer, the weaponised versions of Dhruv and Cheetah, respectively, have also started entering service, while some Chetaks have also been modified to launch anti-tank missiles.
The Light Combat Helicopter developed by Hindustan Aeronautics Limited is undergoing trials and is also expected to be added to the fleet.
Besides battlefield combat support, Army Aviation units are also mandated for combat search and rescue, troop transportation, logistics, communication and medical evacuation.
The Army also relies on the ageing Soviet origin Mi-25/35 gunship for providing close air support to manoeuvring formations, but these are operated by the Air Force.
Similarly, the US made AH-64 Apache attack helicopters that are expected to be inducted shortly, though under the operational control of the Army, will be operated by the Air Force.
The Apache is already equipped with a fire control radar to track multiple targets and guide missiles, giving it a distinct advantage. Such systems are also in vogue with other modern attack helicopters.

The parties to the defence agreement have decided on the acquisition of 309 new armoured personnel carriers for the Danish Defence. Earlier this year, the parties agreed that the new armoured personnel carriers would be of the type Piranha 5.
“I am very pleased that the parties to the defence agreement have supported my recommendation for the acquisition of 309 new armoured personnel carriers at a total cost of 4.5 billion DKK. This is a historically large investment in modern equipment for our army, and a tangible expression of how we put action behind our words, when we talk about the need for a modern and effective defence”, said Minister of Defence Peter Christensen.
Prior to the decision on the acquisition, the Danish Defence Acquisition and Logistics Organisation, in collaboration with the Danish Defence, has conducted a thorough selection process leading to a recommendation for type and number of the armoured personnel carriers needed by the Danish Defence. The financing of the purchase will be within the defence framework.
“It is important that we invest in the Danish Defence. Piranha 5 is better protected than the ageing, armoured personnel carriers available to the army today, so with this purchase we are enhancing the army’s ability to carry out its future tasks”, said Peter Christensen.


The Glock 19 is an accurate, reliable, and sustainable handgun that is incredibly easy to holster, operate and maintain. It is an excellent gun for both seasoned professionals and first-time shooters.
The Glock 19 custom slide is one of the most popular options in the gun modification world. It offers many unique features, such as weight reductions, ported windows, and more.
The weight reduction on the Glock 19 custom slide is essential for those carrying it daily. Reducing the weight of a slide makes it much easier to have a gun and is a significant factor in making a custom pistol more comfortable to shoot.
The front serrations on this Glock 19 custom slide offer an additional tactile surface choice that provides positive traction even with wet or sweaty hands. This new design also offers the advantage of doing a quick press check before and after firing to ensure that a round is chambered correctly.
These heavy-duty Glock 19 compatible custom slides are made of heat-treated 17-4 stainless steel for durability and strength. They feature standard front and rear sight cuts and will fit most Gen 1-3 and Polymer80 Glock pistols.
A Glock 19 custom slide with ported windows is one of the most eye-catching upgrades to your pistol. This innovation allows airflow around the barrel and helps to cool down the gun, making it more tolerant to heat damage.
Ported slides are a great way to enhance your firearm and improve performance, accuracy, and control. These slides can be customized to meet your specific needs and are easy to install by a professional gunsmith. In addition, they can be engraved or filled with color to create a genuinely unique gun.
Red Dot Sight
Red dot sights are an excellent choice for many shooters who want to maximize their range and accuracy. They can be paired with flip-up magnifiers, night vision equipment, and other accessories to improve targeting and reduce the time it takes to hit your target.
They are an excellent option for first-time shooters and those who want to get better at shooting without investing in more expensive optics. Most of them have a reticle that is easy to see and helps to simplify the task of aiming for a target.
Most red dot sights use an LED as their reticle and a coating on the glass that picks up the image and presents it to the shooter. It is more energy efficient than using a reflector to project the reticle, reducing power consumption and increasing longevity.
Glock offers grippy texture options on their custom slide for shooters with a more rubber-like grip. The textured rubber material will not snag and is popular among many shooters with softer hands.
One of the more common ways to make your factory Glock 19 custom slide even more grippy is through laser engraving new textures or stippling the grip. Often, these modifications involve working several millimeters deep into the basic polymer frame and may not be a legal change for your local sports shooting club.
Another modification on the Glock 19 custom slide is the addition of an elongated base plate to the magazine release. It is a nice touch, but it is unnecessary and only makes the magazines rub against each other when stored on a belt.


Christopher 5 I have ordered holsters from Gary in the last, and when I picked up my new 1911 RO Compact, I went straight to his site. While he didn’t have that specific holster in his arsenal, 4” barrel, he worked with me to get the right measurements and quickly got my holster to my door. Phenomenal fit and craftsmanship! Highly recommend!!

One of the problems that users of the RPS-3 spearguns found when shooting their guns was that the line release would not always release, thus causing the shooting line to unexpectedly snap. The spear would then promptly disappear into the weeds on the bottom never to be found again, or the wounded fish swam away with the spear also resulting in its loss. This only happens if the trigger and line release operation are not properly synchronized and the adjustment is easy to do once you know how to do it.
The RPS-3 user handbook strongly advised gun owners not to make any changes to the adjusting screw in the face of the small internal boss that controls the sear release action, but that is exactly how you adjust the gun. The correct adjustment is obtained when the small diamond or lozenge shaped pivoting lever in the rear of the gun frees the line release lever before the boss pulls out of the rear of the sear disk, as the boss clearing the rear face of the sear disk causes the gun to shoot. Turning the adjusting screw anticlockwise effectively lengthens the screw and delays the sear release action, turning the screw clockwise shortens the screw and makes the sear release earlier when pulling the trigger. To get it right you need to use a "trial and error" approach, but it does not take very long to carry out.
A wetted spear (for muzzle seal lubrication) is loaded into the gun with the hand pump's removable Tee-handle replacing the speartip (it has the same screw thread, in fact the hand pump rod is a spare spear shaft), that way you have complete control over the gun and the spear when using both hands. No significant amount of water, beyond wetting it down first, is to be present in the inner barrel, as for this test we just use compression of the existing air in the inner barrel.
You grasp the gun's pistol grip handle with your thumb curled over the top of the rear of the gun and pressing firmly on the back of the line release finger sticking up vertically at the top rear of the gun. When you pull the trigger back slowly you will feel the line release lever suddenly move under the pressure of your thumb and only after this happens should the sear tooth release the spear, your hand on the Tee-handle will feel the spear being released due to the slight air pressure in the inner barrel created by your loading action weakly driving the spear forwards. If this does not happen and the sear releases first then the front adjusting screw has to be lengthened to delay the sear release action, so you unscrew the gun's rear handle section and turn the adjusting screw head in the now exposed boss (seen when looking in from the front of the detached rear handle section) half a turn anti-clockwise and then reassemble the gun to try it again. You repeat this procedure until you get it just right. If you overshoot the correct adjustment the line release will free too soon, but this is preferable to it being too late or coincident with the shot. To go back the other way you just progressively use half (or quarter) turns of the screw going clockwise which shortens the screw and causes the sear release action to happen sooner. It may sound complicated, but the mechanism will not be out by much, so not many turns of the adjusting screw are required. There is a similar rear screw that pushes directly on the diamond shaped lever, accessible from outside the gun once the black plastic grip handle is removed (undo the large "cheese head" nut with the pivoting metal attachment loop located in the handle butt), but you rarely need to adjust it as it is jammed by a twisted metal element built into the sliding rod it projects out of. You only need to adjust it if the safety device is not being pushed by the rear of the trigger hook when you fire the gun (this is mentioned further on), but any final adjustment must be done with the front screw, which the small internal boss actually slides on, until the screw's head catches it internally to pull the boss back.
When you have it set just right this is what happens. Pulling back on the trigger the line release finger frees, the back of the trigger hook causes the safety device to flip back to the horizontal "safe" position and only then the gun shoots. When you reload the gun the small internal boss moves forwards to trap the sideways displaced sear disk (a strong internal coil spring is pushing the boss which plugs the disk once it centralizes in the gun body, thus gripping the spear tail). This boss movement pulls on the trigger mechanism's long internal sliding rod via the front adjusting screw's shank, the front and rear adjusting screws both thread into this long sliding rod, to cause it to come forwards and that in turn drags the trigger hook forwards causing a short horizontal tab on the trigger's rear face to pull out from under a transverse metal strap on the gun's pivoting safety device. Once the rear tab on the trigger slips out from under this transverse metal strap the latter falls in directly behind the tab thus blocking the trigger from moving backwards. That is how the RPS-3 speargun automatically applies the safety each time you reload the gun, which is very ingenious. When you shoot the gun you cause the safety device to initially reset partially and actually cocking the gun later completes the movement to the full "safe" position. A brilliant piece of engineering, but bought at the cost of tiny wire loop leg type springs and a number of small pivot pins (their diameter is only 2 mm!) and an elaborately machined (turned, multi-axis milled and multi-bored) rear alloy housing to contain it all. To unblock the safety you push with your trigger finger on the downward curved metal tab in front of the trigger hook that looks like a second trigger and that causes the safety device, which the downward curved tab is actually connected to, in the form of a pivoting bar to swing downwards at its rear end to clear the trigger for shooting. The safety device pivoting bar has two set positions governed by an "over the centre" action of its looped wire biasing springs situated on either side, it is either hanging down on a slight angle ("fire") or up and horizontal ("safe") at its rear end. The front of this bar (which is a stamped or folded metal "U" cross-section) pivots at its front end, just where the curved actuating tab which is integral with it descends directly in front of the trigger.
Всем устраивают . Но один момент произошёл. При выстреле, флажок вбило в паз . И охота практически закончилась. Как то аккуратно держал моток линя. Благо в море, не камыши . Дефект . Потом выскочило от нескольких выстрелов . Потом опять вбило . Опасно, когда линь как лассо в руках .

Farnborough company awarded £1.2bn sub contractBy Tim Harris
December 18, 2012
FARNBOROUGH-based company BAE Systems has been awarded a contract worth £1.2 billion to build an attack submarine for the navy.
The Ministry of Defence (MoD) has this week confirmed BAE, whose headquarters are based in the Farnborough Aerospace Centre in Aerospace Boulevard, has been given the high value contract for HMS Audacious.
The contract for the 97-metre submarine covers the design, build, test and commissioning programme.
HMS Audacious is the latest attack submarine in the Astute Class to be built for the Royal Navy and will be the fourth of seven vessels.
The submarine is being constructed at BAE Systems’ site in Barrow-in-Furness, Cumbria, where all her pressure hull units have been assembled.
When completed, the sonar system aboard Audacious will have the processing power of 2,000 laptops and will be able to track ships 3,000 miles away.
The submarine will be armed with both Tomahawk land attack missiles and Spearfish torpedoes, with a missile target range of 1,200 miles, with accuracy measured in metres.
Defence Secretary Philip Hammond MP said: “This contract marks an important step forward in the progress of our attack submarine programme.
“It moves the Royal Navy closer to adding more of these highly advanced and powerful attack submarines to its fleet.
“This funding demonstrates our commitment to a key Royal Navy capability.”
John Hudson, submarines managing director for BAE Systems Maritime, added: “This is a very significant milestone for the company.”
The MoD said the Astute Class submarines are ‘the most technologically advanced the Royal Navy has ever sent to sea’.
The first two submarines, HMS Astute and HMS Ambush, are currently undergoing sea trials to test their systems.
Astute has conducted deep dive trials and has successfully fired Tomahawk missiles and Spearfish torpedoes.
Ambush has successfully passed tests for her ability to dive and surface, plus tests for her propulsion system.
Both submarines have undergone trials on the River Clyde.
The third submarine, Artful, is reaching the final stages of construction at Barrow shipyard.
“The Astute Class will become the jewel in the crown of the Royal Navy’s submarine service,” said Rear Admiral Simon Lister, director of submarines for the MoD.
“The Astute Class boasts much greater firepower and more advanced sonar and communications than ever before. These submarines represent a huge leap forward in technology and will operate all over the world with the Royal Navy.
“These boats provide the optimum capability a submarine can offer in land strike, strategic intelligence gathering, anti-submarine and surface ship warfare, and protection of the strategic deterrent.”
The MoD has also confirmed that a further £1.5bn has been committed to the remaining three submarines in the class. The fifth submarine will be HMS Anson.
