If you are able to intercept and kill another warship across a star system, you are also capable of reducing to radioactive rubble an entire planetary civilization with little effort.
From Tobias Pfennings The brain trust that I copy from research for spacecraft combat material have developed their own private jargon. As a public service I present a small glossary so you decipher what they are talking about.
Basically a mobile control center for combat drones. Sort of like the brain center inside a huge swarm of deadly metal space-going hornets with nuclear stingers. The idea is that the control ship and its human crew stands off at a hopefully safe distance from the battle, and sending in hordes of expendable drones to savage the enemy ships.
Please note that the control ship probably will NOT carry and service the drones, since the control ship will have to be nimble enough beat a hasty retreat if the battle goes terribly wrong.
The drones will be carried by separate parasite-carrier spacecraft. The control ship might contain the only live human beings in the entire swarm. Since the acceleration of the projectile increases with the length of the weapon barrel, these tend to be in spinal mounts.
Requires large amounts of electricity advantage: They are basically huge numbers of dime-a-dozen chemical-rocket-powered kinetic-energy-weapons. It is such a good defense it could render torch missiles to be totally worthless.
Generally this is a preposterous waste of your combat dollar, unless there are special circumstances. Right off the bat the Lancer spacecraft will need at least four times the delta-V of an equivalent missile, since unlike the missile the Lancer is not on a suicide mission.
A missile just has to do one burn to the target. The lancer has to burn for the target, do a counter-burn to stop, do a burn for home, and do a counter-burn to stop at home.
Science fiction authors and game designers find this to result in scenarios that are drearily boring, so they often go out of their way to try to figure out extenuating circumstances to ensure military combat in their novels is non-Lanchesterian.
Occasionally the term is used for an impressively armed combat spacecraft suitable for political use in gunboat diplomacy. This poor term is used in a variety of conflicting ways in this website. Though all of definitions refer to something that is self-propelled, as opposed to railgun shells and other gun-launched kinetic energy weapons.
Since it is self-propelled, it does not require large amounts of electricity disadvantage: But each missile is an expensive precision crafted device containing its own fuel advantage: In standard military parlance, a "missile" is guided while a "rocket" is unguided. Rick Robinson suggests that a "torpedo" is a missile with acceleration less than a spacecraft while a "missile" is a missile with acceleration greater than a spacecraft the same way a wet-navy battleship can dodge a sea-going torpedo but not a guided missile.
Technically a mothership that carries smaller vehicles internally is a parasite carrier Sometimes spelled "mother ship" or "mother-ship". The classic example is the Battlestar Galactica, a space-going fighter-aircraft carrier.
But science fiction has examples of huge battleships containing a few destroyer-sized ships. The classic example is parasite fighters housed inside a fighter-carrier, e.
But science fiction has examples of parasite craft such as ship's boats, captain's yachts, cutters, and landing shuttles.
And the Death Star carried entire Star Destroyers. The carrier can commonly recover and service the parasites, but not always. Essentially the weapon becomes the backbone or spine of the warship. The advantage is the ship has the biggest possible phallic symbol weapon.The atomic nucleus contains a mix of positively charged protons and electrically neutral neutrons (except in the case of hydrogen-1, which is the only stable nuclide with no neutrons).

National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics, Research Memorandum - A Study of Several Parameters Controlling the Trajectories of a Supersonic Antiaircraft Missile Powered with Solid or Liquid Fuel Rockets

The effects of changing drag Initial thrust ratio (ratio of initial thrust to initial grogg weight), and weight ratio (ratio of Ini- tiaI grogs weight to weight after all fuel has burned), which are the principal variables controlling the tragectory for a fixed launching .1e, were investigated. The results of the analy sis Indicated that: (1 Dho rate of change of range and altitude of the missile would beccme increasingly favorable with reduction of drag; (2) In general, there would be an op±åmum Initial thrust ratio giving range or altitude; above this bptfmnm value the range and altituda would decrease because of the large ænount of energy expended in overcoming arag at low altitudes; and (3) Increase of the weight ratio of the missile, within the limits In- vestigatea, would Inprove the ran.ge and 8.1tituae obtainable with fuel of a given specific impulse.

The Speaking Gun is probably the most dangerous gun in existence. It is an evil creation and is one of the Lilith's children. It was created from Lilith's rib by Abraxus Artificers, the sons of Cain.
The Speaking Gun is not even a gun at all, but a conglomeration of flesh, bone, and gristle made to look like a weapon and infused with both the power of Lilith and the ancient words that God used at the beginning of time to create the universe, "Let there be Light." When the trigger of the speaking gun is pulled, it harnesses its knowledge of these words of power and speaks the true name of whatever it is pointing it at backwards, effectively uncreating it. The Speaking Gun's power can be compared to that of The Unbeliever, Jessica Sorrow, in that it completly erases what it effects from existence, albeit in a much more controlled and focused way.
The Speaking Gun is a sentient creature that longs for the destruction of everything. It breathes its will into the mind of any who might be brave or foolish enough to weild it, poisoning them and attempting to subvert their will in order to carry out its dream. The Speaking Gun hates existence, and everything in it. It knows the true names of everything, and longs to speak them, but resents the fact that it cannot do so without someone to pull its trigger.
John Taylor destroys the gun by making the guns speak its own name backwards after it fails to destroy Lilith. Since The Speaking Gun was made from one of Lilith's ribs, it recognizes her and refuses to speak her name. John later retrieves "another" Speaking Gun from the Gun Shop on the Street of the Gods when he is hired to take down The Walking Man. This is possible because, as the owner of the Gun Shop explains, The Speaking Gun of that reality and time might have been destroyed, but The Speaking Gun still exists in other realities and times. John later destroys this Speaking Gun as well when he decides not to damn his soul by using it on The Walking Man. The Speaking Gun makes a small apperance in the form of a flesh and bone shotgun gafted onto a Suzie Shooter sent by John's enemies in the possible future. Merlin rends this version of the Speaking Gun from the modified Suzie, thus breaking her hold on that time and returning her to her own. It is assumed the Speaking Shotgun returned with her.
What does it look like?
It was made of meat, of flesh and skin and bone, of dark-veined gristle and shards of cartilage, all held together with long strips of pale skin. Slabs of bone made up the handle, surrounded by freckled skin, that had a hot and sweaty look. The trigger was a canine tooth, and the red meat of the barrel glistened wetly.

The Pistole Parabellum—or Parabellum-Pistole (Pistol Parabellum), commonly known as just Luger—is a toggle-locked recoil-operated semi-automatic pistol produced in several models and by several nations from 1898 to 1948. The design was first patented by Georg Luger as an improvement upon the Borchardt Automatic Pistol and was produced as the Parabellum Automatic Pistol, Borchardt-Luger System by the German arms manufacturer Deutsche Waffen und Munitionsfabriken (DWM). The first production model was known as the Modell 1900 Parabellum. Later versions included the Pistol Parabellum Model 1908 or P08 which was produced by DWM and other manufacturers such as W+F Bern, Krieghoff, Simson, Mauser, and Vickers. The first Parabellum pistol was adopted by the Swiss army in May 1900. In German Army service, it was adopted in modified form as the Pistol Model 1908 (P08) in caliber 9×19mm Parabellum. The Model 08 was eventually succeeded by the Walther P38.
The Luger is well known from its use by Germans during World War I and World War II, along with the interwar Weimar Republic and the postwar East German Volkspolizei. The P.08 was introduced in 7.65mm Parabellum, though it is notable for being the pistol for which the 9×19mm Parabellum cartridge was developed, also known as the 9×19mm Luger. The pistol has been used in fictional works by many villainous characters over the past several decades because of its association with Nazi Germany.
- 3Model 1900 and Swiss Luger
The Luger has a toggle-lock action which uses a jointed arm to lock, as opposed to the slide actions of many other semi-automatic pistols. After a round is fired, the barrel and toggle assembly travel roughly 13 mm (0.5 in) rearward due to recoil, both locked together at this point. The toggle strikes a cam built into the frame, causing the knee joint to hinge and the toggle and breech assembly to unlock. The barrel strikes the frame and stops its rearward movement, but the toggle assembly continues moving, bending the knee joint, extracting the spent casing from the chamber, and ejecting it. The toggle and breech assembly then travel forward under spring tension and the next round is loaded from the magazine into the chamber. The entire sequence occurs in a fraction of a second.
This mechanism works well for higher-pressure cartridges, but cartridges loaded to a lower pressure can cause the pistol to malfunction because they do not generate enough recoil to work the action fully. This results in the breech block either not clearing the top cartridge of the magazine or becoming jammed open on the cartridge's base. This malfunction with under-powered cartridges does occur with Browning-type and other pistol designs as well, but the Luger is sensitive to cartridges other than the brass-cased ammunition which it was designed to use.
Submachine guns were found to be effective in trench warfare during World War I, and experiments were conducted to convert various types of pistols to fully automatic machine pistols, including the P08. The Luger proved to have an excessive rate of fire in full-automatic mode, however, as did the Mauser C96.
Luger pistols were manufactured in Germany and Switzerland to very close tolerances and exacting standards using the highest quality materials of the day, and original pistols were known for having a long service life. The design requires hand fitting of certain parts for proper operation. Assembling the gun using a sideplate from another pistol, for example, may prevent the sear from working, making the pistol inoperable. The Luger barrel, which was rigidly fixed to the barrel extension and carried the front sight, provided excellent accuracy.William B. 'Bill' Ruger praised the Luger's 145° (55° for Americans) grip angle and duplicated it in his .22 LR pistol. The famous handgun author and revolver enthusiast Elmer Keith observed that the Luger design had been unfairly criticized by gun writers over the years as unreliable, partly due to poor experiences with Lugers constructed from salvaged parts. Keith noted that the Luger was a 'natural pointer', one of the most accurate of all autoloading pistols—particularly at long ranges—and reminded critics that the Luger was the choice of more nations as their military sidearm than any other contemporary pistol or revolver.
Model 1900 and Swiss Luger
A number of countries purchased the Model 1900 Parabellum in 7.65×21 mm Parabellum (.30 Luger) caliber and issued the pistol on a limited basis to officers, non-commissioned officers and mounted troops, including Germany, Switzerland, and the United States. The Model 1900 or Pistole Modell 1900 was issued to German officers and likely first saw combat in China during a bloody intervention by German troops in the aftermath of the Boxer Rebellion of 1900. On April 16, 1901, following a successful preliminary test of the Model 1900 at Springfield Armory, the U.S. Board of Ordnance purchased 1,000 Model 1900 Parabellum pistols with 4.75-inch barrels, marked with standard U.S. ordnance bomb proofs and 'American Eagle' stamps over the chambers, and issued them to each troop of mounted cavalry of the U.S. Army for field testing, with the remainder to the light artillery and officers at West Point. In 1902, U.S. Army officials purchased another 50 Model 1902 Parabellum pistols with 4-inch barrels, again in 7.65mm Parabellum caliber, for further testing and evaluation. This was followed by a third test of 50 so-called 'cartridge counter' Parabellum pistols in 9 mm caliber by Springfield Armory in 1904. Other nations either tested the Model 1900 or purchased small numbers for limited field service, including Austria, Brazil, Bulgaria, Canada, Chile, Holland, Luxembourg, Russia, Norway, Sweden, and Portugal.
Commercial models of the Model 1900 were exported in quantity as well. In the U.S., Model 1900 pistols in 7.65 Parabellum caliber (aka .30 Luger in the U.S.) were first imported by Georg Luger, then by a DWM sales agent, Hans Tauscher, until World War I. Referred to at the time as the 'Borchardt-Luger' by U.S. authorities, Tauscher consistently referred to the pistol in his marketing and advertising materials as the 'Luger', after its inventor. Model 1900 pistols shipped to the U.S. were typically stamped with an American Eagle atop the barrel extensions. 'American Eagle' 7.65 Model 1900 pistols were used by variety of buyers, including American lawmen such as Stringer Fenton, outlaws, and Texas Rangers.
After testing, the Swiss Army adopted the Model 1900 on April 4, 1901 in 7.65x21mm caliber as its standard side arm, designated Pistole 1900. This model uses a 120 mm (4.7 in) barrel and incorporates a grip safety and leaf-type mainspring. A later Swiss military contract with DWM resulted in the latter supplying improved Model 1900/06 pattern pistols designated the Model 1906 or Pistole 1900/06. Commencing in 1918, these Model 1906 Parabellum pistols were manufactured and assembled in Bern, Switzerland.
In 1929, Swiss authorities adopted an improved version of the Modell 1900 designated the Modell 06/29 with improved sights, trigger and a stronger toggle link. Manufactured entirely at Bern, Switzerland, the 06/29 pistol served the Swiss Army until well after the adoption of a new service pistol in 1948, and was still in limited service in the late 1960s.
In 1902 DWM introduced a slightly improved version of the Model 1900 Parabellum as the Model 1902. The Model 1902, with its shortened 4-inch barrel, was the first Parabellum pistol to be offered in 9x19mm Parabellum caliber, along with a change from four-groove to six-groove rifling.
The Luger pistol was accepted by the Imperial German Navy in 1904 in 9mm Parabellum as the Pistole 04 (P04). The navy model had a 150 mm (5.9 in) barrel and a two-position ( 100 meters (110 yd) or 200 meters (220 yd) ) rear sight. This version was also referred to as the 'Marine Modell 1904' or, more colloquially in the US as the 'navy Luger'. The Pistole 04 was later updated with a coil mainspring to Model 1906 pattern as Luger continued to refine and improve his design.
Model 1906 (Neues Modell)
Georg Luger introduced a new version of the Parabellum pistol in 1906 which would become known as the Model 1906 or New Model (Neues Modell). This latest version of the Parabellum replaced the old flat laminated main spring with a new, more reliable coil design. As all models of the Luger built after 1906 have the coil mainspring, they are known as New Models. Older Parabellum pistols in German service were usually upgraded to the New Model specification.
1907 U.S. Pistol Trials
By 1906, the United States evaluated several domestic and foreign-made semi-automatic pistols, including the Colt M1900, Steyr Mannlicher M1894, and an entry from Mauser. Although Springfield Armory had previously purchased 7.65×21mm Parabellum pistols for two separate field trials in 1900 and 1902, U.S. authorities had rejected the 7.65x21mm cartridge as insufficiently powerful for military use. In 1904, a small number of Parabellum pistols were tested in the then-new, more powerful 9×19mm round, but U.S. authorities again rejected the pistol. By this time, numerous adverse combat reports of insufficient stopping power of the Army's Colt .38 caliber revolvers used in the 1899-1902 Philippine Insurrection and the published findings of U.S. Army personnel obtained from the Thompson–LaGarde Tests resulted in a requirement for a military handgun in .45 (11.25mm) caliber.
In 1906 and 1907, the U.S. Army held trials for a large-caliber semi-automatic pistol, which constituted the fourth and final evaluation of the Luger or Parabellum pistol design by U.S. authorities. At least two, and possibly three Parabellum Model 1902/1906 pattern pistols in enlarged form and chambered in .45 Luger caliber were brought to the U.S. by Georg Luger for the 1907 trials, each chambered in .45 ACP caliber. Prior to his arrival, the U.S. Frankford Arsenal had provided Luger with 5,000 rounds of .45 ammunition for experimentation and to serve as a guide for chambering measurements. Finding numerous defects in this prototype ammunition (U.S. authorities later were forced to produce new ammunition for the 1907 trials), Luger had DWM pull the bullets of these cartridges, which were re-loaded with a special faster-burning powder in new brass cases. Luger brought 746 rounds of this new ammunition to the March 1907 trials with his .45 Luger pistol. Two test .45 Luger pistols, bearing serial numbers 1 and 2 are known to have been used in the 1907 tests. Although the .45 Luger passed the firing tests, it was ranked below the Colt/Browning and Savage pistols in number of malfunctions and misfires, though Army officials conceded that the .45 Luger performed satisfactorily with the DWM-loaded ammunition. In the words of the testing commission: 'The Luger automatic pistol, although it possesses manifest advantages in many particulars, is not recommended for service tests because its certainty of action, even with Luger ammunition, it is not considered satisfactory, because of the final seating of the cartridge is not by positive spring action, and because the powder stated by Mr. Luger to be necessary, for its satisfactory use is not now obtainable in this country.” DWM and Luger later rejected an invitation by Army officials to produce 200 pistols in caliber .45 for further competition against the Colt and Savage submissions, at which point DWM effectively withdrew from the U.S. trials.
The fate of the .45 Luger, serial number 1 is unknown, as it was not returned and is believed to have been destroyed during testing. The .45 Luger prototype serial number 2, believed to have been a back-up to Serial Number 1, survived the 1907 trials and is in private ownership. Its rarity gives its value of around US$1 million at the time the 'Million Dollar Guns' episode of History Channel's 'Tales of the Gun' was filmed, recheck by Guns & Ammo as of 1994. At least two caliber .45 Luger pistols were manufactured later for possible commercial or military sales; one is exhibited at the R. W. Norton Art Gallery, in Shreveport, Louisiana. The other was sold in 2010 and remains in a private collection. A single .45 Luger carbine is also known to exist.
Pistole Modell 1908 (P08) and World War I
In 1908, the German Army adopted the DWM Parabellum pistol as the Pistole Modell 1908 (P08) Parabellum to replace the Reichsrevolver in front-line service. The Pistole 08 (or P.08) had a 100 mm (3.9 in) barrel and was chambered in 9×19mm Parabellum. This version of Georg Luger's design reflected a number of improvements requested by German military authorities. The grip safety used on earlier versions was omitted, while a lug was attached to the heel of the pistol frame for attachment of a shoulder stock. The barrel was reduced in length to 4 inches (102mm), and the caliber was 9x19mm Parabellum, and the 9x19mm DWM cartridge (Catalog No. 278F) initially adopted by the German Army featured a 123-grain truncated-nose bullet design intended to increase wounding effect of the fully jacketed bullet. With slight modifications, notably the addition of a stock mounting lug and a hold-open latch, the P08 would serve as the German Army's principal sidearm during World War I, augmented by Mauser C96 and Model 1914 pistols. Over 2 million Luger pistols were used by German forces from 1914 to 1918.
The Bolivian Army also adopted the DWM Luger in 9×19mm Parabellum in 1908 as an officer's sidearm; a few hundred were bought, starting with a batch of about 250 that were included in an order of 4,000 Mauser DWM 1907 rifles and 1,000 Mauser DWM 1907 short rifles. Subsequent Model 1908 purchases occurred each year until 1913. Only the first shipment had national crests bearing the legend 'Ejercito Boliviano' stamped on the barrel extension.
Lange Pistole 08 (Artillery Luger)
The adoption of the Lange Pistole 08 or LP 08, aka the 'Artillery Luger', was authorized by the Kaiser on the 2nd of July 1913. This P08 variation was equipped with a 200 mm (7.9 in) barrel, an 8-position tangent rear sight (calibrated to 800 meters (870 yd)) and a board-type shoulder stock with an attached leather holster. In the event of close combat, the pistol was intended to be used as a carbine with the shoulder stock attached to a lug mounted on the heel of the pistol frame. When set for long range use the rear sight element visibly moves to the left to compensate for spin drift. While initially intended for use by German artillery units who could not be encumbered by the long and heavy K.98 rifle, the LP 08 was also used by Aviation units (prior to equipping aircraft with machine guns) as well as the Infantry, primarily on the Western front during World War I. The famous infantry Stoßtruppen or Stormtrooper units frequently employed the Artillery Luger equipped with a new large magazine – the 32-round Trommelmagazin or 'snail' magazine. Production of the LP 08 ended in 1918 with the end of the war. By that time, German troops had begun using the newly developed MP 18 submachine gun in place of the LP 08 for their stormtroop assault companies. However, by this time enough LP 08 barrels had been manufactured and stockpiled to fill LP 08 export orders into the 1930s.
Carbine versions of the LP 08 were also produced commercially, with yet longer barrels. The firm Armeria Belga of Santiago (Chile) also manufactured a detachable stock, the Benke Thiemann stock, that could fold out from the grip section.
In the early 1920s, carbine production was restarted, with barrels up to 600mm (24 in) long. Under a small contract, LP 08 or Artillery P08s were assembled in the 1930s to fill an order from the Shah of Iran for his artillery troops, with some of these weapons ending up with Thai police forces. Existing LP 08 pistols which had remained in storage were re-issued in WWII with new-production board stocks for some German units such as artillerymen and Waffen SS units, and these continued in use until the end of the war in 1945.
Luger Rifle M1906
The M1906 was an attempt to make a full-powered semi-automatic rifle using the same toggle-bolt action of the pistol. A single rifle, serial number 4, was found and put on auction and was said to be made by Georg Luger. The description mentioned a German patent No. 4126 of 1906—the patent applied specifically to serial number 4. The rifle was chambered in 7.92x57mm Mauser, and the stock resembled the later K98k style.
Interwar years and commercial production
From 1919 on, DWM rebuilt P08 frames with new parts or existing parts (including barrels) into complete pistols for sales to the civilian and export markets. These sales helped restore DWM to solvency after the Armistice. Most of these commercial pistols were in 7.65 Parabellum (.30 Luger) caliber, although a number of pistols were also rebarrelled to 9mm Parabellum (9x19mm). The new component parts were stamped with serial numbers to match the frame to ensure that all the fitted parts stayed together. Many thousands of these pistols were thought to have been assembled and sold between 1919 and 1923. Some of these pistols were fitted with new barrels of different lengths by the importer upon customer request. Many so-called 1919 and 1920 Commercial Lugers were imported to the United States by such firms as Abercrombie & Fitch, Pacific Arms Co., and A.F. Stoeger Inc. The latter importer sought and registered the name Luger in 1929 in the United States.
In 1923, A.F. Stoeger Inc., the predecessor to Stoeger, Inc. began importing commercial pistols from DWM stamped A.F.Stoeger Inc. – New York. and 'Germany'. These pistols were exported to the United States in both 7.65 Parabellum (.30 Luger) and 9mm calibers, with barrel lengths from 75 mm to 600 mm. These imported Parabellums were also the first pistols to bear the name 'Luger', roll stamped on the right side of the receiver. That same year, DWM also signed contracts to supply small numbers of P08 pistols to the armed forces of Finland (8,000 pistols, designated m/23), the Netherlands, and Sweden.
Until 1930, DWM continued to export both P08 and commercial Parabellum pistols to nations in Europe and to overseas markets, including the United States and the Far East. Although never officially adopted by Nationalist forces, all variants of the Parabellum or Luger pistol were highly sought after by both Chinese Nationalist officers and irregular guerrilla forces. In 1924, just before the outbreak of the Chinese Civil War, a review of Chinese Nationalist small arms reported that 'Among officers, bodyguards, and police, the German Parabellum (Luger) 9-mm automatic pistol was the weapon of choice...'.
In 1930, Mauser took over manufacture of the P.08 from DWM. Additional P08s were produced by Simson and later Krieghoff.Many P04 and P08 pistols would continue in service with German army and navy personnel throughout World War II. Towards the end of 1937 (beginning with 't' & 'u' block pistols) Mauser phased out rust blue process and 'straw finishing' small parts and levers on the P08, choosing to salt blue all parts of the weapon at one time. In 1941 some of these pistols were fitted with inexpensive black Bakelite grip panels to cut production time and expense. Years after the war, these pistols would be given the name 'Black Widow' by a postwar US arms dealer as a marketing ploy.
World War II production
The P08 was technically replaced in service in 1938 by the Walther P38, but ever-growing wartime demands for handguns resulted in continued P08 production by Mauser until December 1943. Mauser production was supplemented by a small contract for Luger pistols given to Heinrich Krieghoff & Son of Suhl in 1935 to produce a Luger variant for the Luftwaffe; a second contract for 15,000 pistols was only partially completed when Krieghoff ceased Luger production in 1944. The German Army took their last delivery of 1,000 Mauser-made pistols in November 1943. A further 4,000 pistols assembled by Mauser in December of that same year were sold to Portugal, which renamed them the Model 943. German military authorities refused to take any more Luger pistols, leaving a large stock of parts at the factory in Oberndorf.
Captured Lugers were much prized by Allied soldiers during both of the world wars as war trophies. However, during World War II, German soldiers were known to sometimes use a discarded Luger pistol to lure unsuspecting trophy hunters, rigging it to detonate land mines or hidden booby traps when disturbed. Word also spread of accidental discharges and deaths of Allied troops by users unfamiliar with the P08 and its safety mechanisms, as well as stories circulating that American soldiers were being executed if captured in possession of German weapons.

Post-WWII production and assembly
Although Mauser P08 production terminated in 1943, the P08 re-appeared in postwar form because of a continuing demand for handguns for military and police requirements. In 1945 Mauser restarted Luger production under the control of the French occupation authority to supply the French military and occupation police forces. Assembly commenced under French control from June 1945 until mid-1946. In the second half of 1946, tooling and some Mauser personnel moved from Oberndorf to Chatellerault in France, the location of MAC (Manufacture d’Armes de Chatellerault) to continue assembly from existing parts stocks. About 4,000 Luger 'parts' pistols, including a few LP 08 models, are thought to have been assembled for French forces, a sufficient number to justify the production of new-manufacture Luger magazines in France for several years. Surviving examples of Lugers assembled under French supervision are usually found with a distinct, gray parkerized finish. A few early French control pistols bear a five-pointed star proof mark known to have been used by French Occupation authorities. Later pistols assembled in France often carry a French arsenal/manufacturer name, such as Manufacture Francaise d’Armes & Cycles de St. Etienne (Manufrance). Surviving French Control Lugers were retained in French storage depots as late as 1970.
Pistols were also assembled under the direction of Soviet (and later, East German) authorities to arm military and MP units, as well as the VOPO secret police. During the immediate postwar period, complete Luger pistols were also assembled from rejected or salvaged parts with different serial numbers, then sold as souvenirs to occupation forces in Germany. Thousands of original Luger pistols were taken home by returning Allied soldiers after both world wars. Other Luger pistols were later assembled in the United States by gunsmiths of varying aptitude using secondhand, rejected, or salvaged parts imported from Germany and other countries. These pistols and their construction quality (or lack of it) would contribute to criticism of the Luger as a finicky and unreliable weapon. However, a well maintained Luger with new springs and suitable cartridges is a very reliable weapon.
The Swiss Parabellum 06/29 continued in production until 1946. In 1969, after purchasing the Swiss 06/29 tooling, Mauser Werke in Oberndorf restarted Parabellum production, which ceased in 1986 when the last commemorative model was produced. While new Mauser Luger production ended at this time, pistols continued to be assembled and sold from parts on hand until the 1990s.
The Luger pistol is still sought after by collectors both for its sleek design and accuracy, and for its connection to Imperial and Nazi Germany. According to Aaron Davis, writing in The Standard Catalog of the Luger, 'From its adoption, the Luger was synonymous with the German military through the end of World War II' and 'Ask any World War II vet of the [European Theater of Operations] what the most prized war souvenir was and the answer will invariably come back, ‘a Luger.’” Colonel David Hackworth mentions in his autobiography that it was still a sought-after sidearm in the Vietnam War. Vietnamese gunsmiths even copied the basic Luger design, producing a few crude 'Luger' pistols with which to arm Viet Cong and other irregular forces.

The Manhattan Project was developed in an effort to protect the United States during World War II. From 1942 to 1946, the project included three labs set up in different parts of the United States, Hanford, Washington, Oak Ridge Tennessee, and Los Alamos New Mexico.
The Manhattan Project employed more than 130,000 people and cost nearly US$2 billion in 1942. Two types of atomic bombs were developed during World War II: a simple gun-type fission weapon using uranium-235, an isotope that makes up only 0.7 percent of natural uranium. Most of uranium separation work was performed at the Oak Ridge, Tennessee facility, while nuclear reactors to enrich uranium was constructed at Oak Ridge and Hanford facilities.
The first nuclear device ever detonated was an implosion-type bomb at the Trinity test, conducted at New Mexico’s Alamogordo Bombing and Gunnery Range on 16 July 1945. Little Boy, a gun-type weapon, and Fat Man, an implosion-type weapon, were used in the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki during World War II.
After the end of World War II, the Manhattan Project conducted weapons testing at Bikini Atoll and Marshall Islands. as part of the build up to the Cold War, the project started developing new weapons, promoted the development of the network of national laboratories, supported medical research into radiology and laid the foundations for the nuclear navy.

These new prototypes were the start of the usage of the Schachtellaufwerk wheel arrangements, but these also never passed prototype stages and were both cancelled in During the development of the prototypes above, the German invasion of France showed that the Allied tanks such as the Somua, Char B1, and Matilda II were impervious to their current anti-tank weaponry and a need for better armoured and armed tanks were emphasized.
So on May 26, , Henschel and Porsche were asked to submit designs for a 45 ton heavy tank that was to be ready for demonstration by June During their development in June , Germany initiated Operation Barbarossa against the Soviet Union and was shocked by appearance of the T and KV-1 tanks that were invulnerable to all but the most potent anti-tank weapon in German inventory, one of which was the 88 mm FlaK cannon.
The potency of the 88 mm cannon against the heavily armoured tanks that the Germans faced had Hitler ordered that the heavy tank design undertaken by Henschel and Porsche to utilize the 88 mm as its main armament instead of a 75 mm cannon. The designs of the tank was finalized and ready for demonstration on April 20, , Hitler’s birthday, and showed the VK The demonstration and subsequent evaluations on the two designs determined that the Henschel variant was superior to the Porsche variant, proving more reliable, more mobile, and more easily produced than the Porsche.
This caused the Henschel variant to be adopted as the Panzerkampfwagen VI Tiger and production started in August The Porsche variant had many chassis produced as Ferdinand Porsche thought the design would win, so the chassis were instead used in the Ferdinand tank destroyer. Design What perhaps made the Tiger I so unique in tank development and German doctrine is a change of focus between the three characteristics of the tank; with more emphasis to firepower and armour than to mobility.
The Tiger I contained the large 88 mm KwK 36 cannon which was very accurate and powerful, being able to penetrate every Allied armour present at its introduction. The armour on the Tiger I was also one of the greatest at the time, with an astounding mm of armour on the front hull armour, 82 mm on the side superstructure and rear, and mm on the gun mantlet. The armour was vertical faced so no sloping benefits were present like on the Panther.
The Tiger II has passable armor for a tier 8 heavy tank since almost the bulk of its armor is concentrated on the upper glacis and turret front. Other areas suffer from the armor being concentrated in two main locations as the other areas are relatively weak for a tier 8 heavy tank, especially on the sides and rear. Fortunately for the Tiger II it has decent gun depression allowing it to hide its lower glacis and making it difficult for many tier 8 and under tanks that it faces to penetrate it reliably.

Their military doctrine, known today as Blitzkrieg Lighting War , has set a precedence for all countries to model their doctrines after. The Germans emphasized heavy-hitting, well armoured vehicles, which is an easily identifiable trait on their late-war vehicles. It is important to note the German tank fighting style favoured long-range engagements, owing to their extensive combat experience, hard learned on the wide open Eastern Front in World War II.
German armoured vehicles were introduced into War Thunder with Update 1. Class Specifics Germany Light Tanks are relatively on-par with other nations of their respective ranks, boasting good armour for a light tank and decent speed while retaining a solid punch. Their early vehicles like the Panzer II series distinguish themselves from other vehicles in the rank, because are the only ones to possess automatic cannons as their main armament, save for the T Germans lack other light tanks starting from ranks II-V, save for premium vehicles.

Presumably the patch itself will hit just before Christmas. This update has, as its main feature, the introduction of Japanese tanks. Onto the tanks themselves. Well, I will not be trialling them on the live server, but there are essentially two lines. Without having any experience of any of the tanks my intention is to progress up both lines, but we shall see how things go. One thing I will note is how small this introduction is. There are even fewer tanks than in the Chinese tree. Both Quickybaby and Jingles have done overviews of the Japanese tanks.
The basic verdict seems to be that in the early days the lights appear superior to the mediums, that the mid-tier mediums are almost like poorly armoured heavies, and that the line really starts to step up around Tier VIII. The other overall impression is very good gun depression, generally though not always reasonable to very good firepower, but also generally poor armour — the Tier X being a partial exception.
These are not the only tanks being introduced however. There are two high-tier Russian mediums completing that second line.

Battle ratings are calculated by examining how well an aircraft or ground unit fares in different game modes, and they may differ for each game mode for the same vehicle for example, an aircraft or ground unit may perform considerably better in arcade mode than realistic battles mode, and so will have a higher battle rating in the former.
This allows for a balanced game at all ranks and using all vehicles, meaning that certain nations having technological advantages at different periods in the game’s timeline is not an issue when playing, and planes that are too powerful do not ruin gameplay for those flying less effective aircraft. Aviation In Arcade mode Comparison sheet of fighter aircraft’s BR in Arcade For Arcade Air Battles, a formula is in place that calculates your overall Battle Rating, aka the Battle Rating that the Matchmaker will use to match opponents against you, based on the three highest aircraft in your lineup in regards to their individual BR.
That said, the important thing for you to know are three short facts: The overall BR can be lowered by a maximum of one BR step e. Lowering your overall BR only works if you have only one aircraft with the highest BR in your lineup e. The formula takes aircraft of up to 2. What does that mean for you, as a player? As you progress through the research trees, it may happen that you unlock a new aircraft of considerably higher BR than the other aircraft in your current lineup.

The Jagdtiger was very heavily armed — its It was also very heavily armoured, with mm of armour on the front of the superstructure, although that fell away to only 40mm on the roof. The Jagdtiger was a massive machine, over ten meters long and nearly three meters tall 9ft 3in. It was based on a lengthened version of the Tiger II chassis, with the gun carried in a rather boxy superstructure in the middle of the vehicle.
Jagdtiger knocked out by Thunderbolt fighter Work began on the Jagdtiger early in , and a wooden prototype was ready by 20 October The first full prototype was completed in April , and used a longitudinal torsion-bar suspension system designed by Porsche.
Matchmaking World of Tanks The composition of tanks in each team is a task of matchmaker. It works in following manner. It takes one tank from the queue and looks at his tier. For example it is IS – russian heavy with tier 7. The matchmaker takes the corresponding line from the table below and sees that the IS has battle tiers from 7 till 9. Randomly is the tier for battle selected. In our example let it be 8 from 7 to 9 incl.
The matchmaker takes tanks from queue, which can participate in tier 8 battles see column number 8 in the table and puts them in 2 teams. In our battle we can face Tiger II and for example M6 both can participate in tier 8 battles. There are 12 battle tiers. In the tier 12 battles you will have only tanks from 10 tier and some light scouts from lower tiers.
Some players are confusing battle tiers with tank tiers. This values must not be the same.


I’ve been thinking for a while now on composition and it hit me that perhaps a reason I’m able to create good composition in my photos is due to shooting.
There are a lot of correlations between the sight picture you need to get off an aimed shot quickly and creating a pleasing composition in a photograph. You have to know what you are seeing and how it relates in order to put all the pieces together so it fits.
In the case of action shooting, you have to be able to do it in milliseconds in order for your brain to process what your eyes are seeing in order to make the shots quickly and accurately. In my case, the fastest I’ve been able to pull the trigger and see – calling the shot – is about 6-8 shots in a second.
It makes the time I take to frame up a photograph seem about like forever.
If you’ll accept that the definition of composition is: the act of combining parts or elements to form a whole then it might hit you like it hit me last week.
A good sight picture is composition.
A good sight picture will have the proper alignment between the front and rear sight (I’m not addressing shooting with a dot here, but it’s the same thing) and the target you wish to hit. The front sight should be in focus (and there’s a wide variety of how hard or soft to focus on the front sight but that’s another discussion) and the rear sight and target itself should be a little fuzzy. The space between the sides of the front sight and the ‘walls’ of the back sight should be even and you should be able to picture a straight line going across the top of your front and rear sights with neither higher or lower than the other.
Actually, now that I look at this pic on the computer and not on the camera screen… this is not quite perfect as the front sight is slightly lower than the rear sight. In the case of this close up target though, it’s perfectly adequate and you’ll notice the composition that exists in/around the front sight and the rear sight and target.
Here’s a noticeably bad sight picture:
You’ll notice the relationship on the right side of the front sight is drastically different than the first image. In high speed shooting you must be able to recognize this relationship and fix it quickly before pulling the trigger.
In USPSA, the targets that you are not supposed to shoot are colored white. Your eyes have an even more complex task in that now you add additional color to the sight picture you are trying to compose. For example:
In this shot, you’ll note that there’s a pretty good relationship between front and rear sights. But the relationship on the target with the no shoot is bad bad bad. This doesn’t of course keep us from popping the no shoot targets every now and again when we get in a hurry. But when we let our eyes and brain compose the sight picture properly, it’s not a problem to avoid the no shoot like this:
This is about as good as it gets. The no shoot target is well out of the composition and the sight picture is just about perfect.
Now who knew that when I was putting all those rounds downrange I was actually working on my artistic side!
Perhaps you can see why this place is called My Sight Picture. Shooting pictures and shooting a gun are very much the same thing – you need a good sight picture to do both well.


These weapons are strongest versions of the War Bow, Blast Sling and Ropecaster. The initial tripcaster Aloy receives is useful, but it has its limits. This is a great weapon for those machines that have armor plating over their weak points or have special attacks tied to removable components. Different bows also mean different levels of. Better at long range, this bow can deal amazing damage with just one hit.
With that said, here's a breakdown of each attribute, what it means, how it affects combat, and how it increases from weapon to weapon. Although, if you want to , you need have the right on you. However, Horizon Zero Dawn ensures that using a slingshot has its own advantages, the greatest of which being its impressive blast damage. The shield will take a ton of abuse — completely blocking all kinds of damage — before it has to recharge and it recharges pretty quickly. The higher the handling level, the faster it fires. The only downside is that it takes a while to draw arrows on the bow, but it's more than a worthy tradeoff.
This is what added the quest for us, too. Their dominion over the new wilderness has been usurped by the Machines — fearsome mechanical creatures of unknown origin. Slingshots seem like silly weapons when compared to using something like a bow. The shield-weaver outfit is an ancient technology that gives Aloy a force field. It's easily a weapon designed for tackling machines, as its different ammunition covers different weaknesses.
I went though the trouble of tracking down and beating every hunter challenge in order to get these gold guided weapons. The tearblaster is a one-of-a-kind weapon that delivers no damage, but will blow armor and components off of machines. Remember, a half-drawn shot is far less precise than a fully-drawn shot. For example, the Freeze Sac on a Snapmaw. Use it against enemies to make them vulnerable, providing you a combat advantage.
However, this sling can only be obtained if Aloy makes herself known by conquering all 15 of the Hunting Grounds in the game. However, some of the bows cannot take in certain ammo. Each of its three arrow types sports a different element, which is used to stun or give players the right opening they need to secure a critical hit. Sometimes, the are either elemental or plain. Fires elemental payloads the best used to put targets in vulnerable states, providing valuable combat damage. Just look for the shadow version of the weapon you want. You can see this in action when comparing the Hunter Bow to the Sharpshot Bow.
Depending on the rarity, the bows can use a variety of. It's a quick bow too, so it works well in mid-range and close combat. Tear Tear is pretty self-explanatory and refers to your weapon's ability to tear out components from enemy machines. We'll go over the quest but more importantly review these weapons; and are they really the best weapons in Horizon Zero Dawn. Power cells will be marked with a green resource icon. They have slow firing but have heightened accuracy. When running around in Horizon Zero Dawn, farming is quite tedious.
Combine that with the precision aiming maneuver, and the Shadow Hunter Bow becomes one of the best tools in the game. To compensate for this difficulty spike, the game introduces some new weapons that give players an advantage is this new location. This bow packs a punch as well as three different arrows to choose from. Are They Really The Best Weapons?? Never forget about modification slots. No amount of modification will really change your weapon stats so much as it will change how ammo stacks damage on top of your base stats.
While it does have lower attack power, it has heightened reload time. This means that it becomes useful in just about all situations. It provides an extra method for dispatching machines and humans as well as gives Aloy a bit more breathing room when tackling multiple opponents at once. It functions like a rifle, firing deadly bullets to get the job done. Smashing the stalactites to get at the power cell inside.
Many players can go through the entire game without ever using a rattler, so it's important to keep it in mind. Look for an air duct to crawl through. What Weapon Stats Mean in Horizon Zero Dawn Before I dive into what each stat means, it's important to note that your ammo stats are just as important as your weapon stats. It's very much like the Tear stat in that its primary purpose is to impact specific parts of hostile machines. Not only does the weapon look much more menacing, but it's much more potent, able to down the health of machines in just a few shots.

The best weapons You can buy the best version of each weapon from any of the mid- to late-game merchants usually the ones near or in Meridian. Horizon doesn't really explain what handling means. Bows also have different handling levels. Fire arrows can ignite Blaze canisters and backpacks. Aloy is great with a bow, but there are different types to purchase in Horizon Zero Dawn.

"Mice have specific weaknesses to certain Power Types. Using the appropriate weapon in the appropriate area is a critical part of any hunter’s strategy."
Power Type is an important attribute of weapons which determines overall trap effectiveness against different breeds of mice. In MouseHunt 2.0 it also used to refer to an attribute of the different types of mice that roam the land, which in MouseHunt 3.0 was replaced roughly with Mouse Group. As bases do not have Power Types attributes, the Power Type of a trap is determined by the weapon component. The effectiveness of a weapon of a particular power type varies depending on the mice and its location. That a trap works effectively or very effectively against a mouse in one location does not necessarily imply the same in other locations.
Many hunting locations have a preponderance of mice weak to a given Power Type. For example, in the Mousoleum, mice weak to Shadow power dominate. As such, certain weapon Power Types are more suited, and often required for successful hunting, in certain locations.
There are currently 9 different power types, as listed below. Players can follow the respective weapons or mice links for a list of that particular type of weapons or mice.
The most straight-forward type of damage a trap weapon can inflict. It is effective against a variety of mice.
Physical weapons are the first type of weapons that all hunters will own. The mouse groups known to have weakness to physical weapons to some degree include Indigenous Mice, Forest Guild, Digby Dirt Dwellers, Followers of Furoma, Aquatic Order, The Derr Tribe, and Event Mice.
Shadow is a magical type of damage that is effective against ghostly breeds of mice.
Shadow weapons are generally low powered, especially when compared against other weapons of similar requirements. Thus even though many mouse groups (Indigenous Mice, Forest Guild, Digby Dirt Dwellers, The Forgotten Mice) have a certain degree of weakness to them, they are best used against The Shadow Clan, The Dreaded Horde and Balack's Banished.
Built upon research of battle strategy, these traps are especially strong against mice trained in the art of war.
Tactical weapons are of average power as compared to other weapons of similar requirements. Indigenous Mice, Digby Dirt Dwellers and Aquatic Order have a degree of weakness to tactical weapons, but they work best against Forest Guild, The Followers of Furoma and The Nerg Tribe.
Traps utilizing arcane damage come from sources shrouded in mystery. The strength of arcane damage increases proportionally against forgotten mice, making the traps especially effective in the Catacombs.
Arcane weapons are of average to high power as compared to other weapons of similar requirements. Indigenous Mice and The Shadow Clan have a degree of weakness to arcane weapons, but they work best against The Forgotten Mice and Balack's Banished.
Long before the castle was built, the lands of Gnawnia were quite a different place littered with hunting strategies that have not been spoken of since. Mice that utilize these long-forgotten tactics are amongst the most difficult to catch.
Effective against mice who dwell in and around water. Hydro traps are designed to be able to capture a mouse even if they are lurking deep below the water's surface.
Hydro weapons are of average power as compared to other weapons of similar requirements. Indigenous Mice and Forest Guild have a degree of weakness to Hydro weapons. Aquatic Order and The Elub Tribe have a particular weakness to Hydro weapons.
Draconic Brood has a weakness to Draconic weapons.
Traps utilizing parental power specialize in administering discipline on ill-behaving mice. These traps are firm, but fair, never harming the mouse but making sure it thinks long and hard about the trouble it caused.
Parental weapons were designed to catch Terrible Twos mice, who were particularly weak to this power type. Indigenous Mice, Forest Guild and Aquatic Order also had a degree of weakness to this power type. All existing parental weapons are limited edition and can no longer be obtained, but Nanny Charms can be used to convert any other power type trap into Parental type for the duration of a hunt.
Law weapons were designed to catch the Wild Bunch and Train Robbers who are particularly weak to this power type. Additionally, the Muridae Market Mice and Thief Tier mice groups, and the Grave Robber, Burglar, Master Burglar, and Wreath Thief mice, have a particular weakness to Law weapons.
Depictions of each power type exist to assist hunters in identifying the attributes of a weapon at a glance.


Flip the Heat – Where each gun has its own
Tap to shoot, get the timing right and climb as high as you can – careful though, if you run out of ammo or let the gun fall, its game over.
Pistols are light, but they move slowly. Automatic guns moves fast, but they are more heavy than pistols so they tend to fall down faster. Rockets and rifles have their own unique physics – so there’s a big variety of “heat” to try out!


Russia has started moving an armoured fighting vehicle nicknamed the “Terminator” around a Ukrainian city which shows their “determination” to capture the area, a military expert has told Sky News.
Justin Crump, a veteran British army tank commander, said Russia was “quite proud” of the vehicle, which is used to support other tanks and “suppress” enemy fire when launching assaults in urban areas.
Russia is reported to be “bringing them in around Severodonetsk” in Ukraine – showing its “determination to assault that city”.
The BMPT-72 was developed by Russian machine company Uralvagonzavod and was built on the chassis of the T-72 battle tank.
It can carry heavy force during any assault as well as increase the success of a tank operation.
The vehicle has an unmanned turret armed with four launchers and can engage with other tanks and artillery, including low-flying helicopters.
The vehicle also has an automatic smoke grenade launcher, which can provide protection and camouflage against infrared weapons.
Armed with two 30mm cannons, it can fire a wide range of ammunition including high-explosive rounds.
In 2013, a follow-up model to the vehicle was shown off – dubbed Terminator 2 – which saw it carry upgrades, but still possessed many similarities to its predecessor.
It can be used to destroy tanks and suppress enemy fire using its launchers and anti-tank systems.
Russia was said to be so proud of the Terminator 2 model it aimed it at the export market.
Mr Crump told Sky News: “This is a signature Russian piece of equipment. They’ve only got about nine of these.
“It’s nicknamed the Terminator – it’s a tank support vehicle. It’s designed to do the work of infantry in support of tanks. So it’s a tank with a turret designed to suppress enemy infantry.
“They haven’t committed them yet to the fight. It’s one of the things Russia is quite proud of – it’s what they’ve been trying to export.
“They are now bringing them in around Severodonetsk. I think this shows Russia’s determination to assault that city sooner rather than later.
“By capturing this area around Severodonetsk, that allows them to have declared a success in freeing Luhansk.”

Tanks were first used successfully in battle by the Allies in the fall of 1917 to break through the enemy's defenses, in particular barbed wire entanglement. Although slow-moving, the tank was able to roll across a trench and climb obstacles.
Mr. MacLeod describes the effectiveness of newer tracked tanks in the Amiens offensive.
Another thing in the Battle of Amiens that we, it was the first time that we ever saw our tanks in action. They had come in in the Battle of the Somme, but I, we had never, they proved so clumsy, and one thing or another, they couldn't use them there. The Germans used to shoot the steering apparatus off them and you had one wheel behind arrangement to steer by. Well, then they changed that and just steered by the tracks. So in the Battle of Amiens so many of each company were detailed to, six men, I think it was, from each company went into that particular tank and travelled with the, travelled with the tank so that when they reached their objective, these infantry men would leave the tank and hold the line until the rest of us got up. And this was a system that was used in the Battle of Amiens to considerable success too. It proved to the authorities that, actually, the tanks were feasible. Now, eventually they improved considerable in World War Two. But that type of tank had the track all around the outside. He watched them fire, they had 6 pounder guns, I think they were - one on each turret, on the right and left. They had a turret on the side of the tank, where they fired a six pounder gun and the machine guns in the front. They were quite effective when they went up to a machine gun, because the machine gun bullets wouldn't have any effect on them.

Today, along with other members and staff of the Joint Armed Services Committee, I toured the Missile Defense Complex at Ft. Greely, near Delta Junction, Alaska. We flew up to the missile site in an Alaska National Guard C130 from Kulis Guard Base in Anchorage. I have been a legislative member of the Joint Armed Services Committee since 2002.
The Missile Complex is operated by our own Alaska National Guard, and forms a successful and critical part of America’s defense. Basically, several launch missiles are in underground silos. At the end of each missile is a maneuverable “bullet” that separates from the launch vehicle, and guided into a collision with an incoming enemy missile. There are no explosives involved. Basically, we hit a “bullet” with a “bullet” and defeat the enemy attack. Impressive indeed.
Currently more than 20 nations have ballistic missile capability. The future’s unpredictable, but common sense tells us we can expect technical and political surprises from adversaries. North
Korea, China, and Iran all have increasing missile capabilities, and some are known to proliferate their capabilities to other potential adversaries. There were practice missile launches from North Korea in 2006, plus a nuclear test. As stated in yesterday’s Blog, we live in a very dangerous world.
The mission of the Missile Defense Agency, which operates the missile complex at Ft. Greely, is to maintain and sustain an initial capability to defend the United States against attacks from missile capable nations such as North Korea and China. Missile defense has three segments: the initial or boost segment, Midcourse Segment, Terminal Segment. The Missile Defense Complex at Ft. Greely is responsible for intercepting enemy missiles during the midcourse segment. The prime contractor for the Missile Defense Complex, launch missiles, and intercept technology is The Boeing Company.
In 1967 and 1968, during my Air Force military career, I was one of seven Air Force officers selected to participate in the Air University “Education with Industry” program, conducted at The Boeing Company in Seattle. The year long program was considered by the military to be similar to a Master of Business Administration (MBA) degree. As part of the program, I worked alongside Boeing people on projects including the Supersonic Transport, 747 and 737 airliners, AWACS programming, air launch cruise missiles, and the Minuteman ICBM. It was interesting to come full circle in Alaska with Boeing missile technology 39 years later.
We can be proud of the job our Alaska National Guard is doing at Ft. Greely. I support their work, and their missile defense mission.
