|“||I am Heavy Weapons Guy...and this is my weapon. She weighs one hundred fifty kilograms and fires two hundred dollar, custom-tooled cartridges at ten thousand rounds per minute. It costs four hundred thousand dollars to fire this weapon... for twelve seconds.||„|
|~ Heavy from Team Fortress 2|
The Heavy Weapons Guy (also referred to as Misha, Mikhail for short or just simply Heavy) is one of the nine playable classes but a popular, largest and possibly most dangerous mercenary hired by each team in Team Fortress series. He is a towering hulk man that hails from Mother Russia.
The Heavy is boasting the most default vitality and devastating firepower from his trusty Mini-gun without pushover. Also it can inflict heavy damage at a high rate of fire, allowing him to mow down opposing babies, cowards and teeny-men in seconds. His movement speed is the main weakness. Revving up or firing his Mini-gun brings his already unimpressive speed down to a snail's pace, making him a very easy target for Snipers and Spies. His slow speed makes him more dependent on support from Medics and Engineers to keep him in the battle.
Aside from decimating entire teams, the Heavy is able to provide further support for his comrades with an oft-required vitality boost via his Sandvich, which, when consumed, is capable of healing him to full health. It can also be dropped to provide an instant 50% boost to his teammates. However, if he isn't careful, an enemy may pick up the dropped Sandvich for a vitality boost of their own.

Rotary unions are integral to ensuring your equipment pivots, wherever necessary. Evidently, when a large Fortune 500 Defense company was looking to liquid cool a 30-foot gun barrel, they came to Rotary Systems for their rotary unions. Why? They needed a custom-built part that is precise and durable, especially during offshore operations.
Doing what we do best, Rotary Systems started by designing a large two passage rotary union. This helped provide fluid to cool the gun barrel during operation. Each gun system is capable of firing up to 10 rounds per minute. These rounds are over 6.0 inches in diameter and 11 feet in length. To provide the high-volume sustainable fires during peak operation, the gun barrel requires consistent cooling. This is where the rotary union comes into play.
The rotary union was specifically designed for this purpose. We built the part utilizing the proper passage size to provide enough fluid flow to cool the barrel in the limited space provided in the gun assembly.
Rotary Systems is currently working with a number of Defense Companies on several active projects for the Air Force, Navy and Army.
Applications for Rotary Systems rotary unions are wide and varied. If you have a special project, please contact an applications engineer at firstname.lastname@example.org, or call 800-959-0146 for more information

Although I would not consider a hatchet or small axe a necessary part of any backpacking kit, it is definitely one of those tools that is nice to have around from time to time. For me, the Estwing Sportsman’s Axe seemed like a simple, American-made tool that would last me awhile and serve my present need. For $30, it seemed like a no-brainer. In my excitement, I accidentally bought two… Whoops. One will make a nice gift someday.
One of the best attributes of this axe is its simplicity. It is forged from a single piece of 1055 carbon steel. That is both its blessing and its curse though. Many axes and hatchets today use a wooden handle and an axe head with a central eye. When combined, the two components create an axe. The Estwing is nothing but a hunk of metal. What this allows are some minor design tweaks that you won’t find on most axes these days. Because the head does not have to accommodate a central eye, the head is thinner throughout, without much of a taper. While the head is thinner throughout, the blade itself is surprisingly thick. That thickness means that this axe does not cut as well as a traditional axe with a more drastic taper.
The thin head makes easy work of small tasks. It struggles with any size able work. You can achieve a sharp edge, but it won’t necessarily last.
In short, the Estwing Sportsman’s Axe is a beautiful piece of leather-wrapped steel that can take a hell of a beating, but doesn’t necessarily do what it is meant for all that well.
If you are looking for another option in the hatchet department, I would definitely recommend the Gransfors Bruks Wildlife Hatchet or the Hultafors Classic Trekking Axe. Once I have saved enough for either of these, expect a review.

Because they use the trigger finger to deactivate their retention device.
This isn’t a problem when everything works perfectly, but if you’re having to draw your sidearm under duress we’re already past that point.
We banned SERPA’s in 2005 after a student using one almost shot an AI in the foot. It was February and raining. Everyone was layered up in cold & wet weather gear well beyond what they were used to. Truthfully, how often to we voluntarily go to the range in SC when it’s almost freezing and raining? So, the student attempts to draw the sidearm during a transition drill and the gun gets hung up in all that clothing. Sensing that the gun won’t come out of the holster, and mistakenly attributing that to the SERPA device, he stabs his trigger finger in again and presses the exposed trigger. The round impacts the ground between the shooter and the AI standing behind him.
Was there operator error? Maybe. We could say that he should have sensed that the gun wasn’t fully seated but was actually lifted about an inch, but in the context of a transition drill where things have already gone wrong and the stress level is high, that might be asking too much in the way of fine motor skills.
Whatever, any holster that requires the use of the trigger finger to deactivate a retention device, and isn’t an agency requirement, is banned at our classes requirement.


Let’s say you were in the market to buy an authentic Leonardo Da Vinci painting. You will need two things.
First, a lot of money.
Second, a knowledge of nuclear bombs. Or, more specifically, isotopes created by the detonation of nuclear bombs.
Isotopes (atoms that have different numbers of neutrons than the standard for that element and therefore a different atomic mass) such as strontium-90 and cesium-137, did not exist in nature until 1945 when the first nuclear bombs were detonated.
Nuclear bombs (both the ones dropped over Japan in 1945 and the hundreds detonated in tests during the early Cold War period) created a thermonuclear explosion which resulted in neutrons of radioactive elements colliding in massive quantities to create new isotopes.
What does this have to do with buying a Da Vinci painting?
Well, Da Vinci lived during the 16th century, well before anyone had developed, let alone detonated, a nuclear bomb. And if you were to spend a fortune on a Da Vinci painting you would probably want to ensure it’s authentic.
One way to do that is to check for isotopes. If it is a masterful forgery (and many forgeries these days are highly convincing and often fool even expert art dealers) you should check whether the painting contains traces of these isotopes. If it does, you will know that it cannot pre-date 1945. So if the seller is purporting to offer an authentic Da Vinci and it contains these isotopes, you will know it’s a fake.
Of course there are other considerations to check for authenticity, but this one is pretty helpful. And it could save you a lot of money!


This lesson looks at the return of the crossbow to Medieval Europe.
The relative cost of crossbows to armored knights is explored, as are the socioeconomic repercussions of each.
The Crossbow: Weapon of the Devil
In 1139, Pope Innocent II issued a papal bull forbidding the use of crossbows.According to Webster, a crossbow is a weapon for shooting quarrels that consists of a short bow mounted crosswise near the end of a stock. According to the Pope, the crossbow was an instrument of Satan, hateful to God and unfit for Christians.So what was the Pope’s beef with the crossbow? To a modern audience, a ban on a lethal weapon does not seem so strange. Maybe the Pope just wanted to reduce bloodshed among Christians, yet such a ban was unheard of in the 12th century.
The Church clearly had no problem with Christian violence. They’d already sent the rulers of Europe on one crusade at the end of the 11th century and would do so twice more in the 12th century alone. So how do we explain this unprecedented prohibition on the crossbow?The answer is simple: the crossbow threatened to undermine the very foundations of medieval society.
Crossbow vs. Armored Knight
You see, before the crossbow came on the scene, the ultimate killing machine in Western Europe was the armored knight. Their mounts made them quick and maneuverable, while their armor made them nearly invincible.
The only force that could challenge an armored knight was another armored knight.However, these knights were dreadfully expensive to outfit and maintain. The knights themselves required nearly a decade of training. Their arms and armor required skilled craftsmen and lots of metal, and their horses consumed vast amounts of food.By contrast, a crossbowman didn’t require much training at all.
With its simple point-and-click interface, a couple of weeks was all it took to master the crossbow. A crossbow is a relatively cheap piece of equipment. It requires very little metal, especially compared to a full set of plate armor. Most importantly, using a crossbow doesn’t entail feeding a horse all year just to go to battle for a couple weeks.Yet that was not the worst of it. For you see, the crossbow packs a great deal of punch into a bolt – enough punch, in fact, to pierce through plate armor, the very thing that made the armored knight seem invincible.
This meant that a knight – a member of the nobility, Europe’s apex warrior – with his expensive armor, horse, and a lifetime of training could be brought down by a peasant with a week’s training and a crossbow.
The Armored Knight’s Importance to Feudal Society
Big deal, you might say; new technology replaces old technology. This sort of thing happens so much in our world today that it’s hard to remember that entire ways of life can come to be built upon a technology and its replacement can upset an entire civilization. Such was the case in Medieval Europe.
The overturn of the armored knight would not have been such a big deal were it not for the fact that Charlemagne had engineered the entire feudal system for the purpose of generating armored knights for his army.In the Roman Empire, membership in the aristocracy had been limited to those from ancient families – or those with enormous wealth and land that went with being from an ancient family. In Charlemagne’s time, all the ancient families were dead and forgotten, what wealth there was had long been pillaged, and the land was an open frontier, owned by no man.Recognizing the importance of the armored knight in warfare and having limited resources at his disposal, Charlemagne had taken his greatest and most loyal warriors and made an aristocracy of them by giving them plots of land to rule, or fiefs. These fiefs were enough to support the newly made lord, allowing him to train and outfit knights.In exchange for his fief, the feudal lord provided armored knights and foot soldiers to his king when he called. This feudal system allowed Charlemagne to call on a powerful army without having to outfit and train them himself.
Thus, in essence, the entire aristocracy of Medieval Europe owed their lofty position to the importance of knights on the battlefield. If a peasant with a crossbow could take down an aristocratic knight, what was the point in having aristocrats? What purpose did the aristocracy serve any longer?
A New Opportunity for Kings
This very question was being asked in the courts of kings across Europe. You see, kings have always had a sort of love/hate relationship with their feudal lords. Yes, it is nice to have an army of invincible killing machines at your beck and call, especially one that you don’t have to pay for. The problem is that the knights and armsmen of feudal lords are loyal to their feudal lord, who supported and trained them, not to their king, who just calls upon them.
This made it very hard for a king to enforce his will on his lords, since they were all quite heavily armed and nearly as powerful as the king himself. Thus, feudal lords were as dangerous a weapon as they were useful. Push one too hard, and your own sword could turn on you.
Of course, a king would have knights and soldiers of his own, but the cost of outfitting and maintaining knights was so cripplingly expensive that a king would bankrupt himself trying to build an army on his own. The best he could hope for was enough of an advantage over his lords to intimidate them into falling in line.With the crossbow, all of that changed. A king could outfit a company of crossbowmen at a fraction of the cost of a cavalry unit. They did not even have to be trained; any old peasant could do it. All you had to do was give him a crossbow, feed him when there was fighting to be done, and then set him back to hoeing fields when the war was over.This made crossbowmen an excellent alternative to knights, and kings began building large armies of cheap crossbowmen.
This, in turn, gave kings a lot more power to enforce their will on the nobility. If a noble wanted to lead his armored knights in rebellion, the king had an army of crossbowmen to mow those lovely knights down.This did not mean that the aristocracy was no longer needed. Centuries had entrenched the feudal system as the most effective form of administration for a kingdom. Kings needed their lords to help them rule their countries.
It did not even mean that knights were no longer needed. Armored knights continued to charge across medieval battlefields for centuries to come. Armored cavalry remained an important part of every medieval army until the ascent of gunpowder in the 15th century. What the ascension of the crossbow meant was that knights were no longer as important as they used to be, and kings gained more authority and power over their feudal lords.
So we’ve seen why the advent of the crossbow got Pope Innocent so upset. The crossbow threatened to undermine the feudal system by making the armored knight irrelevant.
The armored knight was the heart of the feudal system, the ultimate medieval fighting machine. The problem was that with a crossbow, a peasant with a week’s training could kill the ultimate medieval fighting machine.This fact was not lost on Europe’s monarchs, who didn’t really care what the Pope had to say on the matter. The kings of Europe were tired of dealing with touchy feudal lords and wanted the security of a powerful army without the crippling expense of training, outfitting, and maintaining armored knights. The crossbow offered a cheap alternative that was as effective at controlling feudal lords at home as it was on the battlefield abroad.
After viewing this video lesson, you should be able to define what a crossbow is and explain why Pope Innocent did not like this weapon.

Den Beste tackles the timely issue of nuclear weapons. He has a lot to say about it, and it's worth a read
. I, however, wanted to add something about nukes that was brought up in my International Security/Military Strategies class yesterday. The prof. (whom I think is absolutely top notch) explained the concept of Nuclear Taboo, which is generally explained to be a universal norm against the use of such deadly weapons by a nuclear state against a non-nuclear state, and I realized that the whole thing is a complete farce! It doesn't really exist. I raised the point (slightly incoherently) in class, but I don't think my point really got across. I'll try to explain a little more clearly here:
In reality, there is no "universal norm against the use of nuclear weapons against a non-nuclear state" that has kept them from being used. What has existed, however, is a set of beliefs, held by all nuclear capabilities up until today, about the value of human life and the unacceptability of human suffering that would arise from the use of nukes. Think about it, who has nuclear weapons? America, France, Israel, Britain, etc. These are democratic countries that regard human life as sacred. Imagine if the situation between Israel and Egypt had been reversed during the '73 war, and Egypt (or any other Arab country) had possessed nuclear weapons while Israel had not. Do you think Arabs would have worried about the taboo associated with nuking a bunch of Jews? Do you think the notion of "nuclear taboo" would have survived passed 1973? Neither do I.
Maybe I'm harping on semantics here, but I really think that the distinction is an important one to be made. The professor's definition of "nuclear taboo" is based on a belief in the inherent rationality and morality of all world leaders. This would have been valid up until Iraq and North Korea came along and got a few nukes of their own. In today's world, assuming the existence of nuclear taboo is stupid at best, deadly at worst, which is why disarming Saddam et. al. is so crucial.

What users of the TM Solution Firearms Maintenance Products are saying.
**If you have a testimonial that you would like to share, please e-mail it to me at e-mail address listed on HOME page. I will be glad to add it to my site.
My personal use of TM's products is nearing 2 years, and I have not yet to find its equal in today's sea ofcleaning solvents. I stated 5/15/04, "I would highly recommend to anyone who cares about their firearms." That feeling has been reinforced ten fold since that date. It is truly the only solvent I have found that will perform cleaning tasks for jacketed bullet, cast bullet and rimfire. You have certainly come up with an honest to goodness “multi-purpose” bore solvent. It is an answer to my prayers. I no longer have to have 4 or 5 different bottles of “stuff” to clean with.
Fred Sinclair Sinclair International - Fort Wayne, Indiana
I am as fastidious as they come when it comes to bore cleaners, lubricants and preservatives; and I test every new product that comes along, because I do a lot of cleaning. The TM solvent is sensational, not only on copper- and carbon-fouled barrels but also on carbon, lead and plastic-fouled shotgun bores and carbon, lead and copper-fouled handgun bores and cylinders. I have to work with them all, and TM is up to the universal challenge. As stated, the TM solution really does cling. When I look down the bore after running a patch through, TM’s in there covering the bore thoroughly and circumferentially 360 degrees. I just tested two foam cleaners on six dirty bores. I was disappointed. After three treatments at 4 hour intervals, I had to really clean them up with TM solvent.
I call TM my "Crown Prince" of cleaning solvents."
Holt Bodinson Hunting and Shotgun Editor, GUNS Magazine
I have been building Bench Rest rifles and match grade barrels since 1979 and haveused every solvent to come along. YourTM solvent is the best I have ever used. It is, without a doubt, the best carbon remover I have ever used and works just great on copper. I, along with other barrel makers, will tell you that if a solvent removes the carbon fouling, copper removal is practically automatic. I feel that TM is the only solvent (except for plain old Hoppes) that is safe when left in the bore any length of time.
Every customer that I have given ti to has said the same thing and they re turn to buy more.
My customers come first. I owe it to them to recommend products that I think are best. Your TM solution solvent is, in my opinion, just that.
I had a new barrel at the time I got the TM Solution. With an unfired barrel and a new solvent, why not use it exclusively with this barrel. That is what I did, and I must say that the Broughton barrel did not copper at all. I cleaned the barrel with the new solvent before firing the first round, and I have not had a copper-fouling problem since round one. Equally impressive is its ability to remove carbon. This new product is amazing in its ability to remove this black, accuracy-robbing demon. I checked an old barrel after cleaning (with TM) with a bore scope and it failed to show the “black top road” carbon of most barrels with 1500 rounds (like this one has). When I received this product, I must confess that I said to myself … “Another bore solvent; don’t we have enough now?” After using it for three months, I must say it is my most-used solvent. I can recommend this product without reservation.
I thought I had used every barrel cleaning solution on the market, until recently. On a nice day at the range, a fellow member offered me his TM Bore Cleaner to remove some visible copper streaks from one of my custom rifles that my myriad of cleaning solutions would not remove. I figured it was just some more "snake oil in a bottle" until I put it on a patch and ran it through the rifle bore.
The solution is the most amazing bore cleaning solution I have ever seen. It attacks carbon fouling like no other and it won't quit until all of the carbon and copper is gone. No more need for the vast array of cleaning solutions/solvents since this bore solution performs like it does. Thanks for a fine product!

I have been using the TM Bore Cleaning Solvent and it is finest bore cleaner I've ever used. I have seen an untold number of bore cleaners come and go; most of them are useless.
The TM Bore Cleaning Solvent is different. It works and it leaves the bore squeaky-clean, with a minimum of cleaning rod strokes. I'm a true believer, when it comes to this product.
Steve Timm, Firearms Writer and Consultant Milwaukie, Oregon NRA Endowment Member
Recently I purchased a 16 oz bottle TM Bore Cleaning Solvent from Sinclair International. I think in the past fifty years I've tried just about every firearm bore cleaning product that's been on the market.
Since I started using TM solvent I feel that I have found the perfect all around bore cleaner! It's not only does a great job getting the powder fouling out of a barrel, it's the best copper remover I've found!
My cleaning method now is to use Tm Solvent at the range immediately after shooting while the barrel is still warm using normal cleaning procedures. I then leave the solution in the barrel overnight to remove any remaining traces of copper.
The next day, a few patches through the barrel with your solvent followed by a couple of dry patches leaves a bright, copper free barrel. A patch moistened with a good quality gun oil finishes what used to be a time consuming chore!
Thank you for providing the shooting community with a very fine product.

Random Research Friday – A10 Warthog
What some might not know of me is that I am a person who hardly ever flies, but really loves the subject matter of flight. I am intrigued by the idea that we have the capability of designing machines that lift us off the ground and provide fast travel to anywhere in the world. In addition, I have always been facilitated by the way that we use flying machines for combat.
Of all the planes and flying machines that have existed in combat, there is one that takes the top spot in my list, the A-10 Thunderbolt (aka “Warthog”). It is one of the rare combat planes that has stood the test of time and provided decades of reliable and relevant service.
The question is, “Why would this be my favorite favorite combat plane?” Is it the fastest? Nope. Is it the prettiest? It is cool looking, but not as “pretty” as maybe the F-22. But what makes this plane great is that it is the Hercules of the air. It was meant for air-to-ground combat. As such, it is very close to ground fire. The designers of the A10 made the plane as tough as a tank. With redundancies on all major systems, the A10 can take a punishment and still keep flying.
The single most defining characteristic of the A10 is the 30mm Gatling gun shot from the nose of the plane. The designers actually built the plane around this special gun. I remember the first time I heard of this weapon. I was amazed to hear that pilots could only burst fire the weapon, because if they fired it continuously the barrels would melt.
For a brief overview, the information below was from a email chain letter (I know, I know… but everything is accurate from what I can tell.) There really is a lot to learn about the A10. If you really want to know the full story, I would recommend reading the A10 Warthog Wikipedia article.
Short Story of the A10 Thunderbolt
First there was this gun…
It was developed by General Electric, the “We bring good things to life” people. It’s one of the modern-day Gatling guns. It shoots very big bullets. It shoots them very quickly.
Someone said, “Let’s put it in an airplane.”
Someone else said, “Better still, let’s build an airplane around it.”
So they did. And “they” were the Fairchild-Republic airplane people.
And they had done such a good job with an airplane they developed back in WWII…
…called the P-47 Thunderbolt, they decided to call it the A 10 Thunderbolt. (fondly nicknamed the “WartHog”)
They made it so it was very good at flying low and slow and shooting things with that fabulous gun.
But since it did fly low and slow, they made it bulletproof, or almost so. A lot of bad guys have found you can shoot an A 10 with anything from a pistol to a 23mm Soviet cannon and it just keeps on flying and shooting.
When they got through, it looked like this…
It’s not sleek and sexy like an F18 or the stealthy Raptors and such, but I think it’s such a great airplane because it does what it does better than any other plane in the world.
It kills tanks.
Not only tanks, but armored personnel carriers, radar stations, locomotives, bunkers, fuel depots…just about anything the bad guys thought was bulletproof turned out to be easy pickings for this beast.
See those engines. One of them alone will fly this puppy. The pilot sits in a very thick titanium alloy “bathtub.”
That’s typical of the design.
They were smart enough to make every part the same whether mounted on the left side or right side of the plane, like landing gear, for instance.
Because the engines are mounted so high (away from ground debris) and the landing gear uses such low pressure tires, it can operate from a damaged airport, interstate highway, plowed field, or dirt road.
Everything is redundant. They have two of almost everything. Sometimes they have three of something. Like flight controls. There’s triple redundancy of those, and even if there is a total failure of the double hydraulic system, there is a set of manual flying controls.
Capt. Kim Campbell sustained this damage over Bagdad and flew for another hour before returning to base.
But about that gun…
It’s so hard to grasp just how powerful it is.
This is the closest I could find to showing you just what this cartridge is all about. What the guy is holding is NOT the 30mm round, but a “little” .50 Browing machinegun round and the 20mm cannon round which has been around for a long time.
The 30mm is MUCH bigger.
Down at the bottom are the .50 BMG and 20×102 Vulcan the fellow was holding. A t the bottom right is the bad boy we’re discussing.
Let’s get some perspective here: The .223 Rem (M16 rifle round) is fast. It shoots a 55 or so grain bullet at about 3300 feet/sec, give or take. It’s the fastest of all those rounds shown (except one). When you move up to the .30 caliber rounds, the bullets jump up in weight to 160-200 grains. Speeds run from about 2600 to 3000 fps or so.
The .338 Lapua is the king of the sniper rifles these days and shoots a 350 grain bullet at 2800 fps or so. They kill bad guys at over a mile with that one.
The .50 BMG is really big. Everyone who picks one up thinks it’s some sort of fake, unless they know big ammo. It’s really huge with a bullet that weighs 750 grains and goes as fast the Lapua.
I don’t have data on the Vulcan, but hang on to your hat.
The bullet for the 30×173 Avenger has an aluminum jacket around a spent uranium core and weighs 6560 grains (yes, over 100 times as heavy as the M16 bullet, and flies through the air at 3500 fps (which is faster than the M16 as well).
The gun shoots at a rate of 4200 rounds per minute. Yes, four thousand. Pilots typically shoot either one- or two-second burst which set loose 70 to 150 rounds. The system is optimized for shooting at 4,000 feet.
OK, the best for last.
You’ve got a pretty good idea of how big that cartridge is, but I’ll bet you’re like me and you don’t fully appreciate how big the GAU-8 Avenger really is.
Take a look…
Each of those seven barrels is 112″ long. That’s almost ten feet. The entire gun is 19-1/2 feet long.
Think how impressive it would look set up in your living room.
Oh, by the way, it doesn’t eject the empty shells but runs them back into the storage drum. There’s just so dang many flying out, they felt it might damage the aircraft.
Like I said, this is a beautiful design.
I’m glad it’s ours.


The Art of Japanese Style Sword Making and Displaying.
Displaying you Samurai Swords correctly and safely is as important as owing one! Taking Feng Shui into account will ensure that the energies of the room are not effected.
Since days of old, the sword has been a symbol of protection.
In Feng Shui, the Chinese art of arrangement, swords are zhen zhai, which means they are believed to dispel evil.
Many theories of this form of Feng Shui have been passed down from generation to generation.
If you select a good sword and place it in the right direction in your home, office or studio, you'll have a good Feng Shui result.
The forging of a Japanese sword is a subtle and careful process, an art that has developed over the centuries as much in response to stylistic and aesthetic considerations as to technical improvements.
Each blade typically took many days or weeks and was considered a sacred art, traditionally accompanied by a large panoply of Shinto religious rituals. As with many complex endeavors, rather than a single craftsman, several artists were involved. There was a smith to forge the rough shape, often a second smith (apprentice) to fold the metal, a specialist polisher, and even a specialist for the edge itself. Often, there were a sheath, hilt, and tsuba specialists as well.
Blades were often forged with different profiles, different blade thicknesses, and varying amounts of grind. Wakizashi and Tant were not simply a scaled-down katana; they were often forged without a ridge (hira-zukuri) or other such forms which were found on the katana.
Today, swords are still being made by modern artisans; some pursue the traditional methods while others apply modern tools, techniques, and materials to the craft. A great number of commercially available swords are being made in China with modern tools and materials employing traditional methods. Let's remember that steel-making was imported into Japan from China, via Korea. The steel used in the Chinese swords, called "chi-kang" (combined steel), was similar to pattern welding, and edges of it were often forge-welded to a back of the soft iron (Wrought Iron), or "jou thieh." In trying to copy the Chinese method, the ancient Japanese smiths paid much attention to the various properties of steel and worked to combine them to produce an internal macro-structure that would provide a similar combination of hardness and toughness.
Blade shape and structure is according to the Japanese traditional construction methods, It is crafted with 1095 +1060 and folded steel, and is formed by thousands of hand forged, special clay is applied to the blade, and heat the blade at 750 degrees centigrade to form the real hamon steel. This process will produce a hard edge and soft back after water quenching. The curve of the katana is self formed through quenching,The blade is also broadening polished through numerous course by hand craft, with point lines, razor sharp edge and fine clear temper line.

General Rules for Sword Hanging
- Never place a sword right at the entrance. This is dangerous because if an intruder comes in with ill intentions, they can get that sword and use it
- Never place a sword anywhere where it is easily accessable to others.
- Never place a sword in dirty places like bathrooms. This is disrespectful to the sword.
- Never place a sword in the dining area. The dining area should be very peaceful and calm. The presence of a sword here will negatively influence the family and cause stress.
- Never place a sword by the window.
- Never place a sword in a high traffic area.
- The hilt of your sword should point into the home, not outside. This is better for the homeowner to access the sword, instead of an intruder.
- Place the sword beside you or behind you, but never in front of you.
- The handle should be placed higher than the blade.
- For single-edged swords, the blade should face the earth.


Most of the greatest side arms are power by green gas. Identified my favorites is the Cyma g18C AEP Glock. This pistol is powered by a small 7.2v variety. Has good range thanks to the adjustable hop-up unit. Prefer a more powerful airsoft gun, gas will be the way to be able to. Some of the better airsoft guns powered by green gas are Western Arms, KWC and Tokyo Marui.
Mutual Gun safes are also built to fend off burglars. They give massive one-inch locking bolts, four dead bolts facing the hinge side, one active bolt at the top, and a minimum of four active bolts over the closing section. The lock is protected by manganese hardplate and a spring-loaded relocker. These safes also feature two bolt down holes for 1/2″ bolts in the bottoom of fit. These can be use to bolt ideal to the floor, positive that automobile be carried off.
When you’re shopping for that ideal shotgun, remember, 410 ammo irrespective of how sleek and good weapon looks, it’s got to show good results and it absolutely must fit you. And buying a bigger gun isn’t the best solution either.
As far as replacing the NATO 5.56mm, it’s rarely going happen until everyone in NATO, or seeking to be in NATO, will agree for you to some common new round, and re-chamber all of their weapons accordingly, and chances are they can’t afford to do very.
Gun Vault – A vault for guns is a lot like safety measure envision it to be. It’s similar several safe. The primary difference regarding the two could be the inside with the piece. A gun vault is additional like a student’s locker. There are shelves inside to place things on, but a person still store larger guns such as shotguns. Many of them likewise have specially designed pegs inside on which to hang holsters for handguns, or guns themselves if needed. These help you organize things rather than just an open space.
There are actually a total of 10 guns in Singularity that can all be upgraded. Each gun has three upgrade options when they are clip size, damage and reload speed. Certainly the best parts about Singularity is that often you can use any weapons a person find the parties. Unlike most FPS’s where experience to find the weapon again or get to the weapon and ammo. The new weapon lockers you is unable to only buy some new gun an individual can actually but weapon (if you don’t already have it) and full ammo for the device.
I’m not knocking the 30-06. It’s a fine cartridge, I own four 30-06 rifles. An advantage of the 7.62 should it be is shorter than the 30-06(7.62×63), that 1/2 inch means the experience has 1 ” less take a trip during taking pictures. The shorter action weighs very much.
The model 99 may be available regarding calibers, some quite modern, and if you look around a bit the 303 can certainly be found. A person’s have one then there’s always something good either require to hand-load your ammo or have someone do it as factory ammo is lengthier made. Occasionally you discover a factory box of ammo but don’t count regarding it. The huge problem with ammo is the cases. Norma sometimes has them but almost all the time they end up being be formed from another cases. The only two create sense could be the 30-40 Krag or the 303 Mediterranean. Once 30 carbine ammo are obtained then ammo can be made your problem. May do use 30-30 bullets and loading data with being successful. If truly to hunt with this relic always be good for deer hunting at moderate ranges.


The Department of Homeland Security is seeking to acquire 7,000 5.56x45mm NATO “personal defense weapons” (PDW) — also known as “assault weapons” when owned by civilians. The solicitation, originally posted on June 7, 2012, comes to light as the Obama administration is calling for a ban on semi-automatic rifles and high capacity magazines.
Citing a General Service Administration (GSA) request for proposal (RFP), Steve McGough of RadioViceOnline.com reports that DHS is asking for the 7,000 “select-fire” firearms because they are “suitable for personal defense use in close quarters.” The term select-fire means the weapon can be both semi-automatic and automatic. Civilians are prohibited from obtaining these kinds of weapons.
The RFP describes the firearm as “Personal Defense Weapon (PDW) – 5.56x45mm NATO, select-fire firearm suitable for personal defense use in close quarters and/or when maximum concealment is required.” Additionally, DHS is asking for 30 round magazines that “have a capacity to hold thirty (30) 5.56x45mm NATO rounds.”
Critics of such a ban on semi-automatic rifles are already arguing that the government is showing its hypocrisy by essentially saying they are good “personal defense” for them, but not for American citizens. When civilians own semi-automatic rifles, they somehow become “assault weapons.”
That being said, it is reasonable for the Department of Homeland Security to request these rifles as they are indeed effective personal defense weapons. The agency is tasked with keeping Americans safe from those who wish to do the country harm, and its officials should be equipped with all the tools they need to do so effectively.
But what about Americans who want to keep themselves and their families safe from threats? Is a semi-automatic rifle unacceptable for a civilian’s “personal defense” in his or her home? According to some Democratic lawmakers, like Sen. Feinstein, it appears the answer is yes.
Just last week two students in Rochester, N.Y. scared off a pair of home intruders by simply brandishing an AR-15 semi-automatic rifle. One of the students said he believes the weapon saved their lives.

AeroPuzzle with an amazing plane – Dassault Rafale
A multipurpose fighter of French design, produced since the 1990s by Dassault Aviation. Contrary to multi-role fighters, which usually have a dominant primary and secondary role (e.g. fighter / bomber / support aircraft etc.), Rafale is described by the manufacturer as an aircraft for all tasks, as it can freely switch from one role to another during performing the operation.
The puzzle consists of 1000 pieces and is intended for people over 14 years of age.

For a drug so heavily associated to peace movements, reefer has seen its fair share of war. But marijuana’s role in warfare could have been much more prominent had the U.S. military’s foray into marijuana testing proven more suitable to their plans. Imagine the bombs raining from planes but instead of dissolving into blasts of fire and shrapnel, the targets are enveloped in thick clouds of inescapable gas leaving them temporarily immobilized. This was the military’s vision of the most peaceful answer to biological warfare; a carefully engineered synthetic marijuana that effectively turned its targets to stone but never took a life. It definitely put a new spin on the term “flower power.”
Dr. Domino’s Red Oil
Quietly resting on the fact that the United States had never actually agreed to terms outlined in the Geneva Convention, the U.S. military devoted significant time, money, and effort into developing a chemical weapon that would save lives rather than take them. In the early 1950s, the focus fell on creating a synthetic form of weaponized cannabis in Dr. Edward Domino’s work with a prototype of cannabis concentrates. This concentrated hash oil was assigned the code EA 1476 but was nicknamed “Red Oil.” In line with the military’s vision of weaponizing marijuana, Red Oil’s effects were much more severe than a casual toke from a glass pipe.
Since Red Oil was not deemed ready for human experimentation, Domino initially found its subjects in dogs and the occasional monkey. His notes detailed fits of paranoia and what can only be assumed were sensory hallucinations as canines warily dodged shadows and rushed invisible assailants. But none of this was in line with the military’s proposed use of weaponized cannabis. Red Oil may not have seemed worth pursuing until Domino noted a pronounced lethargy in his test subjects with increased dosage ultimately resulting in waking immobilization. “You could step on their feet without any response,” Domino remarked of his test subjects. “It is an amazing effect and a reversible phenomenon.” Temporary debilitation fit in perfectly with the military’s goal but further testing needed to be conducted.
Marijuana Testing on Human Subjects
The military’s marijuana testing really started hitting its stride in the early ‘60s when Dr. James Ketchum took Domino’s research and began to spread the Red Oil experiments to G.I. volunteers. Like Domino, Ketchum answered directly to the military and therefore was stationed at Edgewood Arsenal in Maryland, known as the headquarters for the U.S. Army Chemical Corps. When under the influence of Red Oil, soldiers were reduced to smirking, snickering doppelgangers of their once stoic selves, unable to complete basic training tasks or answer simple questions without meandering, non-committal, or vague answers. The effects often stretched for hours. While the military was impressed with Red Oil’s ability to take the fight out of a highly trained soldier, they ultimately needed a weapon that could completely immobilize the enemy.
Further research into the properties of cannabis revealed that pure, undiluted THC weighed significantly less than the concentrated Red Oil, a factor that weighed heavily on the potency of a proposed attack. Thus Red Oil was jettisoned and a mixture known only as EA 2233 was born. Using spatial configurations of atoms that were advanced science for the time, Ketchum’s team of researchers created EA 2233 from 8 stereoisomers of THC. Eventually, these stereoisomers were simplified to a pair, further reducing weight while retaining potency. EA 2233 allowed Ketchum to accomplish more with less. Anywhere between 10 and 60 micrograms of EA 2233 per kilogram of body weight were capable of keeping a subject stoned for approximately 30 hours. The substance left soldiers virtually immobilized, either lacking the motivation or simply unable to defend themselves in the event of an attack.
However, when injected intravenously into a subject, EA 2233 took a potentially hazardous turn. The immobilization of the test subjects was much more thorough as evidenced by soldiers lacking the ability to stand without assistance. However, this was due to a dangerously severe drop in blood pressure that Ketchum’s team cautiously chose to avoid altogether.
Closing the Door on the THC Bomb
Eventually, the U.S. military suspended marijuana testing, finding it too ineffective and unpredictable to be viably used in chemical warfare. In 1975, the military publicly admitted to human experimentation with marijuana and LSD as a means of developing a debilitating chemical weapon. The controversial research secretly conducted at Edgewood Arsenal did have some success, albeit fleeting. Research led to the development of chemical ammunition, roughly the size of tennis balls, packed with a powder derived from a plant in the belladonnoid family. This ammunition was capable of sending its targets into a debilitative state of slumber for days. However, Ketchum attests that such chemical warfare was never conducted and the ammunition has since been destroyed.
The idea of warfare without casualties is alluring, especially in our current political atmosphere. While chemical warfare, even with weaponry as seemingly benign as “THC bombs”, is unethical, is the alternative really any better? As Ketchum himself stated, “Paradoxical as it may seem, one can use chemical warfare to spare lives, rather than extinguish them.” Perhaps with the legalization of cannabis and the eventual lift of the ban on marijuana testing and research, the military can return to examining whether THC can be used to put our country’s opponents in a less-than-permanent sleep.

Types of Military Aircraft in Service Today
The military has access to many categories of aircraft, and each serves various purposes. There are almost countless options for military aircraft between large planes for resource transportation and fighter pilot jets.
Categories of Military Planes
Airplanes are a valuable resource to the military, and branches can modify or engineer them to serve various purposes.
Transport planes transfer resources, personnel or other aircraft from one location to another. Pallets stacked with materials make loading and unloading convenient. What’s more, personnel can use parachutes to drop supplies without landing the plane.
Fighter planes are offensive and defensive weapons that destroy enemy aircraft in the air. They are typically small and easy to maneuver.
Maritime Patrol Planes
These military-exclusive planes can withstand long hours of flight time over water. Maritime patrol planes are fixed-wing planes. Most often, they perform search-and-rescue or anti-ship missions.
Military bomber planes are large, heavy planes used for ground attacks. They are much larger than other fighter planes and are less optimal in situations that require head-on combat. Some bombers have stealth capabilities to escape enemy detection.
These planes perform ground attacks with more maneuverability than bomber planes. They also provide support for ground troops.
Reconnaissance and Surveillance Planes
Manufacturers equip these planes with specialized technology like sensors and cameras, so they can gather intelligence undetected. Military branches can use these aircraft remotely for a wide range of tasks that are too dangerous for a pilot.
Multirole models are common military airplanes because they can complete a wide variety of tasks, sometimes even changing jobs over the course of a single mission. These planes can perform ground and air attacks, as well as surveillance and air control.
Airborne Early Warning Planes
With radar technology, these planes detect other aircraft and ships to create a safe environment for friendly planes. Airborne early warning planes can direct fighter and attack planes to the appropriate area, and pilots can use them offensively or defensively.
If the military is testing new technology or advanced instrumentation, they use experimental planes. These planes have yet to prove their capabilities in flight.
Electronic Warfare Planes
Electronic Warfare (EW) planes use radio waves to harm the radar enemy radio systems. Branches modify existing military planes to fight with EW.
Categories of Military Helicopters
Helicopters are a vital resource within the military. There are a few different categories, including:
These compact helicopters fire at enemy targets.
Larger helicopters can carry light vehicles and groups of passengers.
These helicopters have sensors and cameras, so they are ideal for surveillance and intelligence.
Versatile helicopters perform many duties, such as observation or attack.
This category is most common in anti-submarine missions and weapon delivery at sea.
These aircraft support a wide range of tasks in challenging terrains.
Search And Rescue Helicopters
These helicopters can withstand all kinds of weather and conditions because they are durable and agile.

I’ve been hitting the edits for book six hard this week, and I thought I’d share what I’ve been up to. Swords play a big role in this book, and this particular sword needed to be something special. In draft one, I came up with a stereotypical sword and used it as a placeholder, although I knew I’d need to change its description eventually. I did a little research online and found this pic from trueswords.com*:
It inspired me. Although the sword I needed to describe wouldn’t be as elaborate as the sword pictured, it still gave me something to work with. In the end, I came up with this description:
I wasn’t sure what to expect as the sword formed before me—perhaps a smooth, mirror-like blade, something with jewels decorating the grip and cross-guard, maybe something overly embellished and ornate. Instead, an unassuming weapon took shape.
A strip of leather, weathered and blackened with age, wrapped the grip. The once silver blade was tarnished, though was straight and true. The cross-guard was a simple piece of craftsmanship, a single silver piece with squared ends. The only ornamentation found on the weapon was at the bottom of the grip, where a silver dragon claw clutched a sapphire crystal that glowed with magic. Symbols appeared along the center of the blade, blazing as if they were written in fire.
It was an ancient weapon, full of power, and I only had one thought.
Kull would love this sword. I’d never get it away from him.

How to Choose the Best Pocket Knife
Looking for the best pocket knife 2020? You must know that Pocket knives come in different sizes, designs, and materials. Although the true value of a pocket knife largely depends on the skill of the user, there are certain features that can help improve its usability. It is necessary to select the right one for the precise needs of the particular user.
There are lots of features to consider. But some features are more important than others. If you are looking to buy the right pocket knife, these features can help you decide which is best for you.
Plain vs serrated edges
The blades of pocketknives come in either plain, fully jagged, or partially jagged edges. Of course, these are for different purposes. If you want to have better control or perform push cuts, a plain edge knife will be more ideal for you. It works well for skimming and shaving animals. But it may not be ideal for performing pull cuts. Fully jagged knives will fare better when cutting tougher objects. However, they are clumsier on objects than plain blades.
On the other hand, partially jagged blades are a mixture of both fully jagged edges and plain edges. These are more common because you can use them to cut different types of materials.
It’s obvious that the partially jagged blade types are the perfect blend you can use for different objects. So, unless you have a specific need for plain or fully jagged blades, the partially jagged blade is the right way to go.
Length of blade
The length you select will depend on your need for the pocket knife. There are different blade lengths, from small 2-inch blades to large 7-inch blades.
Remember that the size of the blade can matter in a lot of ways. In most places, it is legal to carry pocket knives with shorter blades. It makes you compliant with the laws when you stick with a pocket knife with a shorter blade. They are also very portable and can be easily tucked anywhere. However, they are not as versatile or strong as larger blades. These blades are ideal for smaller tasks such as opening small boxes or cutting strings.
Conversely, you should consider larger blades when you are looking for a pocket knife for self-defense. They are usually stronger and do not pull out easily. But, they may not meet certain state laws to carry around legally. This is why they are mostly used for display purposes. Whenever you are ready to get your pocket knife, make sure you look at the minimum requirements for your state concerning the size of the blade.
Single- blade or multi-blade
One of the main reasons for choosing a single-blade knife over its multi-blade counterpart is simplicity. It’s also a great choice if you don’t have different uses for the knife.
Single-blade pocketknives only have a large design of a single blade. They come with locking systems that are sturdier and stronger for more demanding tasks. Most of them have hidden blades that pop open from a spring mechanism. You can easily tuck them in your pocket without anyone’s notice.
However, the downside of these types of knives is their lack of versatility. Since they have a single blade, you can’t use them for different jobs. This is where the multi-blade pocket knives come in.
A multi-blade knife gives you the opportunity to carry a single knife that can do different tasks. They come with 2 to 4 blades, designed differently for different purposes.
This is ideal for those who need a knife for different purposes. You can use them to skin a bear, carve a wood, or even as a personal protection. But, they are not as durable as the single-blade knives. So, you have to decide between versatility and durability.
Choosing handle materials
Pocket knife handles come in different materials. Some are aluminum while others have wooden handles. Other materials include bone, stainless steel, and rubber handles.
Wooden handles are made with various types of woods. The best wooden handles are stabilized to make them hard. They are lightweight and can be durable, depending on the type of wood
Bone handles have different varieties as well. These include smooth white bone, scored bone, jigged bone, and giraffe bone. They are all durable and lightweight.
Aluminum is one of the most common handles for pocket knives. They are usually coated and are more commonly seen in new models. If you are looking for a durable pocket knife you can use in difficult weather environments, a unit with aluminum handle will be a great option.
Folding or fixed models
Pocket knives come in fixed or folding models. If you are looking for toughness, cleanliness, and safety, a fixed pocket knife will be perfect for you. It is safer to handle knives with a fixed blade because there is no chance of then snapping on your fingers. They are also stronger, especially if you are carrying out a rigorous task. The main benefit of a folding knife is the aesthetic design and simplicity. You can tuck them in and carry them easily.
The quality of materials and corrosion effects on the blade of the knife
Make sure you know which type of materials are used in making the blade of the knife. For sure, you need sharp, refined and corrosion resistant knife blade that would not get damaged quickly with minor tasks. Mostly the high-quality knife blades are made up of stainless steel, carbon steel and an alloy of steel giving it a strong and sturdy edge to cut through fine edges easily.
You need to be sure that the blades and its edges would not corrode or get damaged easily in order to get lasting performance and finer cutting experience while using your knife whenever you need it.
The above are the important features you need to look at before selecting the best pocket knife 2020 for your needs. It all boils down to the individual and their specific needs for the pocket knife.

Angus Robertson, MP and SNP Defence Spokesman in April 2009:
The Faslane naval base on the Clyde is to become the dedicated home for the UK’s entire nuclear-powered submarine fleet.
The move is part of a major shake-up of the Royal Navy announced by the Armed Forces Minister Bob Ainsworth.
Trafalgar class submarines, currently based at Devonport in Plymouth, will begin joining the Vanguard fleet based at Faslane in about five years time.
The SNP said Scots did not want more nuclear submarines on the Clyde.
Alex Salmond, MSP and Scottish First Minister in September 2010:
The First Minister agreed to include the retention of the Faslane naval base on the Clyde in a cross-party submission to the Government’s strategic defence review (SDR).
Mr Salmond had left them out from a draft version of the dossier, which aims to persuade the MoD that defence spending north of the Border must be maintained despite severe cutbacks.
The four Trident nuclear submarines based there are specifically cited in the latest version of the document as one of the reasons the Ministry of Defence (MoD) should not shut the facility.
