At Headquarters Company, you have your choice of hunting, fishing and survival knives.
While we have a large range of knives available, you’ll want to choose the one that best suits your comfort level and intentions. Any one of our associates will be happy to answer any questions you might have about choosing your next hunting or survival knife. We look forward to seeing you!
What makes a great knife is how it’s put together. If the blade extends down into a tang (one single piece), you have less chances of the blade braking off when you’re using it for more difficult tasks.
Some other things to consider about the knifes we sell are whether you would like to have a smooth, straight blade or jagged, serrated blade. And depending on the purpose of your knife will help you choose how long of a blade you’ll need as well. Next, you should consider how thick you want your knife to be. And lastly, know what type of covering you’re looking for in a knife. The outer covering (sheath) will actually aid in how you carry your knife along with ease of access.


WIKIPEDIA: The United States was the dominant world power in the early 1950s. Lockheed U-2 spy plane flights over the Soviet Union provided intelligence that the US held the advantage in nuclear capability. However, an education gap was identified when studies conducted between 1955 and 1961 reported that the Soviet Union was training two to three times as many scientists per year than the United States. The launch and orbit of Sputnik 1 suggested that the USSR had made a substantial leap forward in technology, which was interpreted as a serious threat to US national security. This spurred the United States to make substantial federal investments in research and development, education and national security. The Juno I rocket that carried the first US satellite Explorer 1 had been ready to launch in 1956, but that fact was classified and unknown to the public. The Army’s PGM-19 Jupiter from which Juno was derived had been mothballed on the orders of defense secretary Charles Erwin Wilson amid interservice rivalry with the US Air Force’s PGM-17 Thor.


Attention all sword enthusiasts! Are you tired of scouring the internet for the best quality swords? Look no further as we have compiled a comprehensive review of where to buy the best quality swords online. From medieval replicas to fantasy-inspired blades, we’ve got you covered with our top picks and expert insights. Get ready to sharpen your knowledge and find your next prized possession in this ultimate guide to buying swords online.
Introduction to Swords
When it comes to swords, there are a wide variety of options available on the market. However, finding the best quality swords can be a challenge. In this comprehensive review, we will take a look at some of the best places to buy quality swords online.
There are many factors to consider when purchasing a sword. The most important factor is the quality of the blade. The blade is the heart of the sword and it is what does all of the work. A good-quality blade will be made from high-carbon steel and will be heat treated to ensure strength and durability.
In addition to the blade, you also need to consider the handle of the sword. The handle should be comfortable to grip and should not slip in your hand during use. It is also important to choose a sword with a guard that protects your hand from getting cut by the blade.
Finally, you need to decide what size sword you want. Swords come in a variety of sizes, so it is important to choose one that is appropriate for your height and build.
We hope this guide has given you a better understanding of swords so that you can make an informed decision when it comes to purchasing one online!
Different Types of Swords
There are a variety of swords available on the market, each with its own unique features. Here is a breakdown of some of the most popular types of swords:
– Katana: A traditional Japanese sword with a curved blade, used for slashing and chopping.
– Longsword: A European sword with a straight blade, used for thrusting and stabbing.
– Rapier: A thin, lightweight sword with a sharp point, used for fencing and dueling.
– Saber: A curved sword with a single cutting edge, used for cavalry charges and dueling.
– Scimitar: A curved sword with a double-edged blade, used by the Ottoman Empire’s Janissary corps.
Sword Materials and Manufacturing Processes
When it comes to swords, the quality of the blade is everything. A cheap sword with a poorly made blade will not only be ineffective in combat, but it can also be dangerous. A good quality sword, on the other hand, will be a joy to use and will last for generations with proper care.
There are two main types of swords: European and Asian. European swords are typically made of steel, while Asian swords are usually made of iron. The type of metal used in the construction of a sword will affect its properties and performance. For example, steel is generally harder than iron and will hold an edge better, but it is also more brittle and can break more easily if mishandled.
The manufacturing process for swords has changed very little over the centuries. The basic steps involve heating the metal until it is malleable, then shaping it into the desired shape using hammers and anvils. Once the blade has cooled and hardened, it is then sharpened and ready for use.
There are many different types of steel used in sword making, each with its own advantages and disadvantages. The most common type of steel used in modern swords is carbon steel, which is a strong and durable metal that can be easily sharpened. Other popular types of steel used in swords include stainless steel, which doesn’t rust or corrode as easily as carbon steel, and tool steels, which is designed to withstand high impact without breaking.
No matter what type of steel is used, the quality of the blade will ultimately depend on how it was crafted. An expert swordsmith must have the skill and experience to create a weapon that is both strong and aesthetically pleasing. The process requires patience, attention to detail, and an eye for beauty.

Why are we still building "Star Wars"? Sadly, because both President Clinton and his hard right Republican adversaries have been playing politics with national defense. Ever since the “Gingrich revolution” of 1994, “new look” conservatives like Rep. Curt Weldon (R-PA) and Sen. Jon Kyl (R-AZ) have been putting on a full court press to restore Ronald Reagan’s dream of an impenetrable shield that could render nuclear weapons “impotent and obsolete.”
National Missile Defense: Time to Pull the Plug on the Fraud of the Century
William D. Hartung
If you’re not a nuclear weapons expert, you were probably surprised to learn that President Clinton is about to move forward with a $60 billion missile defense program designed to defend us from nuclear attack by “rogue states” like Iran, Iraq, and North Korea. That’s a heck of a lot of money, even by Pentagon standards. But the price tag on Clinton and Gore’s “limited” National Missile Defense (NMD) program pales in comparison with the $120 to $240 billion George W. Bush is planning to plunk down in pursuit of his vision of a bigger, better, nuttier “Star Wars II” missile defense scheme.
Why are we even debating this issue? The Cold War is over. We are far safer from attack by a long-range ballistic missile than we were during the days of the U.S.-Soviet superpower standoff. Even our own intelligence community acknowledges that none of the rogue states – now called “states of concern” by Secretary of State Madeleine Albright – have missiles that can reach U.S. soil. And independent experts agree that they may not develop that capability for another 5 to 15 years, if ever.
In the meantime, North Korea has agreed to cap its nuclear weapons and missile test programs, and is in the process of seeking normal relations with South Korea and the United States. Robert Walpole, the nation’s top expert on missile proliferation, has repeatedly pointed out that a ballistic missile is the least likely method a foreign nation would use to attack us with a weapon of mass destruction: we would know who launched it, and that nation would be immediately subjected to a devastating counter-attack.
Even if there were an urgent rationale for building an NMD system, the technology is simply not ready. The system has failed in two of its first three tests, and missile expert Dr. Theodore Postol of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology has persuasively alleged that the Ballistic Missile Defense Organization and key contractors like TRW and Boeing have engaged in criminal fraud in the NMD testing program.
So why are we doing this? Sadly, because both President Clinton and his hard right Republican adversaries have been playing politics with national defense. Ever since the “Gingrich revolution” of 1994, “new look” conservatives like Rep. Curt Weldon (R-PA) and Sen. Jon Kyl (R-AZ) have been putting on a full court press to restore Ronald Reagan’s dream of an impenetrable shield that could render nuclear weapons “impotent and obsolete.”
The Republican true believers fail to recognize that it is their own warmed-over Reaganism that is impotent and obsolete. Ronald Reagan never built Star Wars, but he did agree to deep cuts in U.S. and Soviet nuclear arsenals under the Intermediate Nuclear Forces (INF) and Strategic Arms Reduction Treaties (START). Weldon, Kyl and company are worshiping the wrong Ronald Reagan – the out-of-touch, ketchup-is-a-vegetable, nuclear-war-is-winnable ideologue, not the second-term pragmatist who finally realized that nuclear weapons serve no good purpose and should be drastically reduced, if not eliminated altogether.
So where is Al Gore in all this? Lost in the triangulation. Clinton and Gore have taken such pains to avoid looking “soft on defense” on the missile defense issue that they have ended up being “soft on defense contractors,” shoveling billions of dollars of our tax money to Lockheed Martin, Raytheon, and Boeing for a dangerous, unworkable scheme that threatens to spark a new global nuclear arms race. On the urgent issue of nuclear disarmament, Bill Clinton has been treading water. He is the first president since the dawn of the atomic age who has not negotiated a single significant arms control agreement. This record of indifference and inaction on the nuclear threat is far more shameful (and consequential) than his behavior in the Monica Lewinsky affair.
If Al Gore and Joe Lieberman want to distinguish themselves from the failings of Bill Clinton and the excesses of Bush/Cheney Republicanism, they can start by grounding the missile defense program. The threat has been exaggerated, the technology is not ready, and we have more pressing national needs – both within and outside the defense budget. They should empanel a group of independent scientific experts (folks who are not on the payroll of the Pentagon or the major weapons makers) to restructure NMD as a RESEARCH program. The goal of the new missile defense program should be to determine whether there are better ways to defend U.S. troops and U.S. allies against medium-range, Scud-style missiles – the only realistic missile threat worth worrying about for the foreseeable future.
Al Gore and Joe Lieberman can demonstrate leadership -- and character -- by admitting the Clinton administration’s mistakes on National Missile Defense and reclaiming the vital center of the national security debate.

Excellent Secure Quick Release
Jeff from IL
This anti-twist plate keeps my Swarovski 80mm scope securely attached to the tripod head. As the price includes the quick release plate, the price is reasonable. The result is an excellent secure quick release system that does not loosen or rotate. I have use it with the Manfrotto 128RC and 700RC2 heads. I highly recommend it.
Scope twist plate
Lewis from Saluda, S.C.
Having suffered from a loose scope and had the horror of the adapter plate actually breaking on a birding trip, I really needed something to keep the scope on the tripod. This anti-twist plate seems to have solved the loose scope problem. It may be a little expensive, but it is nice to not have to worry about the scope falling off the tripod.
Manfrotto Anti-Twist Spotting Scope Plate
JoAnne from Vermont
I have a Nikon 82 ED spotting scope that I use to bird. My friends who have the same scope told me I would need the anti-twist plate or else my scope might come loose and fall off the tripod. After using my scope 3 times, I noticed it was loosening up. I ordered the anti-twist plate and it works great! Solves the problem although I don't know why Nikon doesn't pay for it, since it is a design problem!
Carolyn H. from Houston, TX
This plate works exactly as described. I've had it practically from the first day it came on the market (bought it from Eagle Optics, of course). I put it on once and have not had to tighten it a single time since - what a difference from the frequent tightening I had to do with the original plate that came with the scope. The only drawback is that the screws extend sideways from the base of the scope and make it a little awkward to mount the scope on the tripod when I want to unzip the scope case but leave the loosened case on the scope. I recommend it wholeheartedly.


A Macuahuitl is an Aztec weapon that was a wooden club with several embedded obsidian blades. It was a thick, three- or four-foot wooden club spiked with a number of blades made from obsidian. Obsidian is a naturally occurring volcanic glass formed as an extrusive igneous rock. Obsidian is produced when felsic lava extruded from a volcano cools rapidly with minimal crystal growth. Obsidian is capable of producing an extremely sharp edge, sharper than high quality steel razor blades.
This weapon was likely the most feared weapon used by Aztec warriors both before and during the era of Spanish conquest in Mesoamerica starting in the 15th century. It was known that when the invading Spanish found themselves up against the Aztec warriors branding their Macuahuitl they kept there distance from the Aztec warriors and their menacing weapon.
The blunt portions of a Macuahuitl could knock someone unconscious. This would allow Aztec warriors to then drag the victim back for a ceremonial human sacrifice to their gods. Those sharp Obsidian blades however did some serious if not deadly damage they were sometimes serrated for maximum . Much like the teeth of a chainsaw, the obsidian blades framing the paddle were notched to inflict as much pain to the victim as possible. Not only would the skin easily slice, but it would also rip and shear off the body when the Macuahuitl was pulled back.


Quality rifle line ammunition is the best way to make sure you get a perfect shot. No matter how experienced you are as a shooter or how new you are to the shooting sport, the right ammunition can make your experience go from average to perfect.
We are about to go into the world of high-quality ammunition, where every round promises to perform at its best and be as accurate as possible. Get your weapons ready and aim your sights. Lock and load, and get ready to be amazed!
Consistency is Key
Be consistent if you want to shoot accurately. Like how a machine that has been well-oiled always works smoothly, good ammo always gives the same results. To put more shots on target, you’ll need to change your sights or deal with annoying flyers for less time.
Moreover, consistent ammunition also aids in developing muscle memory and proper shooting technique. With each shot landing exactly where it should, you can fine-tune your form and become a more proficient shooter.
Factors Affecting Ammunition Consistency
Gun line ammunition can work better or worse depending on a number of factors. What is used, how it is made, and where it is kept are a few examples.
Each round has to be checked very carefully to make sure it has the same weight, shape, and powder charge. The parts that go into rounds are very good.
Also, keeping firearms ammo in the right way is very important for keeping it consistent. Extreme temperatures and wet conditions can make rounds grow or shrink, which can affect how well they work. To make sure your ammo works at its best, keep it in a cool, dry place and change your stock often.
Achieving Maximum Accuracy
Getting it right is the most important thing when you shoot. You can get there with the help of good rifle line ammo. Because they are all the same and were made with a lot of care, the rounds have a longer range and a better shot placement. Not only does this make you feel better about your shot, but it also helps you hunt better and more socially.
Good ammunition contains boat-tail bullets or polymer tips to make it more aerodynamic and less likely to drift in the wind. It improves accuracy at greater ranges.
When ammunition is consistent, sights need fewer adjustments. This helps you focus on your shot without worrying about uneven rounds.
People who want specialized rounds should look at ammunition like this 5.7x28mm ammo for sale. This round is famous for moving quickly and straight, which makes it a favorite among shooting fans!
Bullseye-Brilliance Awaits with Quality Rifle Line Ammunition
Close your eyes for a moment and picture how exciting it would be to always hit the target right. These rounds are more than just ammunition; they’re the key to reaching your full potential on the range or in the field.
Equipping yourself with quality rifle line ammunition will help you hit the target, whether you’re trying to get to the top of the list or set a new personal best. So go ahead and let the sound of your shots fill the room with praise.

The three big military powers of the world today (USA, China and Russia) have spent the last few years researching a new type of weapon that is supposed to change the way they approach conflicts, in the future. Hypersonic weapons are the dangerous new toy that these militaries want to get their hands on and fast. These ultra-fast and long range weapons, which are still being researched, are meant to strike any target, anywhere in the planet, in less than one hour. All with an accuracy of ten meters or better.
The United States have been researching a way to do it and the resulting technology has been named “boost-glide”. These weapons are designed to be launched by large rockets, such as the ones with which the US and Russia threatened each other during the Cold War. However, instead of arcing above the planet, like conventional ballistic missiles, boost-glide weapons re-enter the atmosphere and then glide at high speeds, towards their intended target. They can supposedly reach up to 20,000 km/h, a speed at which they cannot be intercepted by traditional missile defence systems.
Logically, as soon as the US managed to conduct some successful experiments (the last one occurred in May, 2013), China and Russia wanted to get in on the action. The first one to produce good results was China which managed to successfully test a missile of its own this past January. The hypersonic glide vehicle was detected flying over the country at a speed above Mach 10 – or 12,359 km/h. Russia is farther behind but has promised to step up its research if the US continues to develop precision-guided weapons systems with global range.
These new military developments bring with them the threat of a new global conflict, especially because boost-glide weapons are able to carry both conventional and nuclear weapons. For that reason, some analysts have raised concerns about the possibility that one of these countries might misinterpret the launch of a missile with conventional warheads and conclude that it carries nuclear weapons. Even if they are not being targeted, the high velocity at which these weapons travel demand an immediate response, one that might not allow for an accurate assessment of the situation and that can lead to a nuclear response.
Although these weapons are still being researched, they are already impacting the policies of the countries pursuing them. Fear of the United States’ boost-glide capabilities is making China reconsider its policy of not using nuclear weapons as a first measure. The same goes for Russia that, seems unwilling to reduce its nuclear stockpile in the face of such developments by the American military. News of a successful test by the Chinese military also raised concerns among the US Congress that the country might be falling behind. Some immediately railed against defence spending cuts and argued for the renovation of the armed forces’ equipment.
As there is no dialogue between theses countries concerning boost-glide weapons, the impact on policies might increase over the next few years. If these projects continue, the impact might come sooner than later, as the US expects to deploy boost-glide weapons in 2025.


Fireworks, bombs, detonators and gunpowder. We all know what these reactions look and sound like but do we really know what they really are? Class 1 Dangerous goods; Explosives, are used in a large range of commercial industries all around the world, possibly more than either you or I realise. But the key point is – Explosives are classed as dangerous goods and need to be treated accordingly. Even more importantly, do you have any explosives on site, and how are you treating – and storing – these dangerous goods?
What are explosives?
As previously mentioned, as per Australian standard AS 2187.1-1998 – ‘Explosives – storage, transport, and use’, explosives can be defined as being:
‘A solid or liquid substance (or mixture of substances) which is capable by chemical reaction of producing gas at such temperature and pressure and at such a speed as to cause damage to the surroundings. Pyrotechnic substances are included even when they do not evolve gases;
A pyrotechnic substance is a substance or a mixture of substances designed to produce an effect by heat, light, sound, gas or smoke or a combination of these as the result of non-detonative self-sustaining exothermic chemical reactions.’
In slightly less words, explosives are a substance, or combination of substances that can react at such speed and pressure to emit heat, light, sound and gas in such a way as to cause significant damage to the surroundings.
Basic classification of explosions
Explosions in general is an extremely wide and technical topic to cover, so to keep it focused this article will be based on chemical explosions. However, there are essentially four types of explosions:
- Natural – explosions such as volcanoes and eucalyptus in bush fires.
- Mechanical – where the explosive is dependent on a physical reaction, such as the over-pressurisation of a substance within a compressed container. Note that this does not make every heated pressurised can or aerosol an explosive! Examples can include an overheated tank or boiler, or more simply a tin or compressed aerosol thrown into a fire. This application is sometimes used in mining and can also be referred to as vapour explosions.
- Nuclear - Nuclear explosions are rather self-explanatory – those explosions that typically derive their energy from nuclear reactions.
- Chemical – simply put, a chemical explosive is a substance or compound which will decompose rapidly producing gas and heat when applied with heat and/or shock. Chemical explosives are the most common, and possibly the most technical (after nuclear) type of explosive. Chemical Explosives will be discussed later in this blog.
The first known explosive – Black Powder, (more commonly known as gunpowder) was a mixture that consisted of potassium nitrate, sulphur and carbon in the form of charcoal, and has been traced back to the 9th century. Since then, there have been significant steps in the development of explosives, from the 1846 discovery of nitrocellulose (guncotton) – cotton and sulphuric acid – by chemist Christian Schonbein, and the 1946 discovery of Nitroglycerin by Italian chemist Ascanio Sobrero, consisting of nitric acid, sulphuric acid and glycerol. The blasting cap for nitroglycerin was invented by Albert Nobel in 1865. TNT was invited by German chemist Joseph Wilbrand in 1863, and is still commonly used today, particularly in the military. Dynamite was patented by Nobel in 1967, a relatively safe and powerful high explosive. Later, around 1888 Nobel and others invented a number of smokeless powders. Naturally, since then, there has been an outstanding increase of understanding of explosives right up until today and research, development, testing and production of such substances is ongoing.
Forms of explosives – rate of combustion and sensitivity
Chemical explosives are further broken down into categories according to their rate of combustion as per the following;
Low order explosives
Low order explosives are those that will decompose at a subsonic speed – that is, slower than the speed of sound. Low order explosives do not typically detonate, but rather deflagrate. This means that the explosive will burn and release gas, without a shock wave. The most common low order explosive can include gunpowder, fireworks and some pyrotechnics, propane and fuel. Low order explosives are most commonly used as propellants.
High order explosives
High order explosives are those that will decompose at a supersonic speed – that is, faster than the speed of sound. High order explosives will usually detonate in comparison to deflagration. This means that the explosive reaction is proceeded by a blast shock wave that is followed by an extremely rapid burn rate. The pressure of the blast front holds the most significant danger and will be the cause of the majority of the damage or result of the reaction. High order explosives are most commonly known for their use in the military and mining industries. High order explosives can be further categorised according to their sensitivity;
Primary explosives are extremely sensitive and reactive. They can hardly be handled without detonating as a cause of shock, heat or friction. Because of their extreme sensitivity, primary explosives are often used in very small quantities as an initiator, to shock less reactive explosives into detonation. Commonly used in blasting caps to translate a signal in an explosive train. The form of signal can vary on the application.
Iodine nitride, lead azide, mercury fulminate, tetrazene and DDNP are examples of primary high explosives.
Secondary explosives are less reactive than primary explosives and comparatively, need a significantly increased level of energy to evoke a reaction. This makes secondary explosives a lot safer for handling, usage and storage. Secondary explosives are often initiated by a small amount of primary explosive and are sometimes referred to as base explosives. TNT, RDX and PETN are common examples of secondary high explosives.
This third sector of high explosives is often debated, and sometimes classified as a subclass of secondary high explosives. Tertiary explosives are sometimes also known as blasting agents. In comparison to primary and secondary high explosives, tertiary explosives are extremely insensitive to shock, so much so that they cannot be detonated by a small amount of primary explosive alone but need a primary explosive to detonate a secondary explosive, which will detonate the tertiary explosive. ANFO is a common tertiary explosive and becoming increasingly popular are emulsions and water jells.
Despite sounding very similar, the definition of a low order explosive and high order explosive does differ from the meaning of a low order explosion and a high order explosion. A low order explosion is where the reaction will deflagrate, and a high order explosion will detonate. Typically, low order explosives will produce low order explosions and high order explosives will produce high order explosions. However, should a low order explosive be put under a certain high degree of pressure, it is possible for it to create a high order explosion.
An explosive train is the sequential ordering of explosive components according to their classifications of sensitivity to detonate a relatively safe, predictable, practical and measured explosion according to the perimeters of the project and surrounding influences.
As established above, there are three core forms of high explosives: primary, being extremely sensitive and reactive; secondary, in comparison, relatively insensitive, and finally, tertiary – in comparison to the former, again extremely insensitive.
Naturally, large amounts of primary explosive are extremely dangerous and expensive. In comparison, tertiary explosives are cheap and safe but exceedingly hard to detonate.
Typically, an explosive train has three explosive components, and is most common in industries such as mining and construction. To commence the process, a signal, (in industrial sectors) generally in the form of a physical shock, will initiate a very small amount of primary explosive – often referred to as an initiator or blasting cap. The primary explosive will detonate, translating the shock through to the next sector of the explosive train – where the secondary explosive is. Often referred to as an intermediary or booster, these explosives are sometimes contained within the blasting cap of the primary explosive. This part of the explosive train will then detonate the third and final stage – that of the tertiary explosive, the sector within the train commonly referred to as the main charge, or bursting charge.
Naturally, not all explosive trains are the same. A high explosive train can have as few as two sectors, or as many as four, depending on the particular usage, the substances in question, the environment, and the goal behind the explosive train.
The basic chemistry behind explosives
The chemistry behind explosives and explosions is mammoth, and like all technology, science and chemistry research, is constantly being improved. An explosion needs two basic ingredients: an oxidizer, and a fuel. Without getting too technical, we know that an explosive is a substance that after being initiated by a force or number of forces such as heat, shock or pressure, undergoes a highly exothermic reaction with a significant positive entropy change in the form of either detonation or deflagration (depending on weather the explosive in question is a high order or low order explosive) ultimately creating a redox reaction. Breaking the result down, we have a huge amount of gas and heat. The gas immediately compresses (creating the sound) before expanding to create a blast wave.
If you have ever watched an explosion in slow motion, you will know and understand how the pressure of the shock wave is possibly the most dangerous part of the explosion, its intense power breaking everything in its path. Fragmentation of an explosive adds an entire additional dimension to the reaction, and a whole lot more damage.
Physics explains how the shock wave is a massive wave of increased pressure, which is followed by a section of relative negative pressure, creating an opposite force behind the pressure front. In some massive scale explosions, it is possible for the resulting force behind the pressure wave to be below normal atmospheric pressure.
It is important to note that one characteristic of an explosive is that the initiation source, such as heat, will not contribute to the energy of the explosion. An explosive is a substance that can create an explosion by its own energy.
Storage requirements of explosives
Once you have a little understanding of the properties of Class 1 Dangerous Goods, you will understand how crucial it is to store explosives in a safe manner. Safe storage of explosives reduces the risk that they will pose upon the people in your workplace.
To assist with this, Standards Australia have established a set of standards outlining the storage requirements for each class of dangerous goods. Australian standard ‘AS2187 - Explosives – Storage, transport and use’ outlines the recommended requirements for the storage of Class 1 - Dangerous Goods. These requirements include;
- The interior of an explosive storage unit, such as a box or cabinet, must be fully lined with wood.
- The explosive storage cabinet must be constructed of sheet steel of 0.8mm thick or sheet aluminium of 1.1mm thick.
- The storage device must be painted externally and internally.
- The storage cabinet must be equipped with handles for lifting.
- The explosive storage box must be outfitted with a lid that is close fitting, and secured with a metal hasp, steel staple and steel hinges.
- Should the explosive storage unit be used for gunpowder, the hinges, staple and hasp must be constructed from brass.
- The explosive storage device must be fitted with a secure lock
There are two common forms of explosive storage units to help you out with your day-to-day operations in the business. For the more permanent, bulk storage of explosives, it is suggested that explosives be stored in a dangerous goods cabinet. For the daily transport of explosives on site, it is suggested that explosives be stored in a day box, ideal for the safe transport, cartage and storage of explosives – particularly detonators – on site, during the day.
In relation to the chemical and physical properties of explosives, it is easy to demonstrate the level of risk such substances present to people, property and the environment. One way of significantly reducing the risk associated with explosives is to store them in a safe manner, compliant to the Australian standards.

Today, League of Legends received another update, adding a brand new champion – Riven, The Exile. The patch included changes to Shaco, Mordekaiser, Shen, Orianna, and Taric. This patch also squashed several bugs such as the inconsistency with the jungle creep minimap icons.
Runic Blade (Passive): Riven’s abilities charge her blade, causing her to do bonus damage on her next autoattack. Riven can store up to 3 charges, but only expends one at a time.
Broken Wings: Riven steps forward and lashes out in a series of powerful sword slashes. This ability can be activated up to 3 times in a short period. 1st Use/2nd Use: Deals damage to a small area in front of her. 3rd Use: Jumps into the air and slams downward, causing a larger impact nova that deals damage and knocks nearby enemies back.
Ki Burst: Riven damages and stuns nearby enemies.

12 Indian Air Force Mirage-2000 fighter jets, manufactured by Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) under license from Dassault Aviation, entered Pakistani airspace and dropped 1,000-kg laser-guided bombs on Jaish-e-Mohammed terror launch pads across the Line of Control in the early hours of Tuesday. The Mirage aircraft played a pivotal role in the 1999 Kargil War against Pakistan and turned it in India’s favor.
Details about Mirage 2000
- Mirage took its first flight in 1978.
- After the IAF inducted the Mirage, it was dubbed as ‘Vajra,’ meaning lightening thunderbolt in Sanskrit.
- Mirage 2000 is equipped to carry a range of air-to-surface missiles and weapons including laser-guided bombs.
- India initially had placed an order of 36 single-seater Mirage-2000 and four twin-seater Mirage 2000 in 1982 and after seeing its success, the government placed an additional order of 10 Mirage-2000 planes in 2004, taking the total tally to 50 jets.
- Then, in 2011, India signed a 2.4 billion USD deal with France to upgrade the existing Mirage-2000 jets to Mirage 2000-5 Mk. The upgraded Mirage jets were delivered to India in April 2018.
- The extraordinary feature of Mirage is its high drag and low wing loading clubbed with a high percentage of thrust.
- The aircraft can reach up to a height of 60,000 feet and is capable of reaching a speed of Mach 2.2, according to Dassault Aviation.
Mirage 2000 is a multirole combat fighter from Dassault Aviation of France. It has been operational with the French Air Force since 1984 and has been selected by Brazil, Egypt, Greece, India, Peru, Qatar, Taiwan, and the United Arab Emirates. By 2009, over 600 Mirage 2000 were in service worldwide. More than 500 different variants of Mirage are operational across the world.


There were three basic designs of 20 mm guns used by the Allies:
The Germans had some 20 mm guns of their own designs and usually used very different gun mounts.
The British and Commonwealth armies used some Hispano-Suiza type guns, but mainly used the Oerlikon and the simplified version of the Oerlikon developed by the Poles just before WWII (thus the "Pol" in its name "Polsten").
20 mm (usually called "2 cm" by Europeans as 20 mm = 2.0 cm in the Metric system which they invented, just as the 88 mm is properly called the 8.8 cm).
20 mm (2 cm) AA guns were used on ships, on barges, anti-aircraft tanks, single towed guns, quadruple towed guns, and on a portee (a truck to carry them but dismountable) and near the end of WWII on US built LVT(4) Alligators.
ORIGIN OF THE DESIGNS
WWI German design.
Perfected by Oerlikon in Switzerland.
The Poles simplified the Oerlikon in 1939 and then with the British, developed the Polsten which was issued by 1944.
There is confusion over the types of ammunition. Here is the OFFICIAL 1944 British and Canadian Army list:Field Service Pocket Book on Small Arms Ammunition 1944.
HISTORY OF USE
The Allied air forces used 20 mm cannons (machineguns) on aircraft during WWII. The Spitfire Mk. IX, Hurricane IIC, Typhoon and Tempest are well known examples. These guns were of the Hispano-Suiza type, that used a different ammunition than the Oerlikon.
I have not yet found references to the Canadian Army using any other than on a Skink tank.
CMP 20mm AA Truck
The CMP portee version is thought by many to have not been used in the fighting in Europe, however I have now found a photograph showing at least three or four of these vehicles with their guns on the Normandy beaches in July 1944.CMP 20 mm AA trucks on the beach in Normandy in July 1944. They appear to be British 7th Armoured Division. Dave Ballard's restored example in England: http://www.mapleleafup.org/beltring01.html
One Skink tank was sent to North West Europe for testing. It fared well, but the need had passed as the air threat was minimal by then. It was used against ground targets with success, but the only time a German aircraft came within range, the tank was not manned.
AIRBORNEA 20 mm gun on the special airborne carriage. With the 6th Airborne Division, Germany, 1945.
The British Airborne Forces had a special gun carriage designed and called it the "MOUNTING, AIRBORNE, 20-MM GUN No. 2 MARK 2 LAND SERVICE".
The Australian Army used them in the South Pacific and in the Korean War. Search the Australian War Memorial web site photo collection using "Polsten". Also look under "Oerlikon".
On HMCS Prince Robert. A neat photo but they score zero as they have no magazines on the weapons!
The Swiss Oerlikon company continued to sell 20mm AA guns after WWII.
The Swiss Army used 20mm AA guns until the late 1990s and then replaced them with the Stinger handheld anti-aircraft missile.
20mm guns are now widely used on aircraft e.g. CF-18 Hornet
WWII British Army MOUNTING, UNIVERSAL, 20 MM. GUN, Mk. I
This mount had two basic models. No. 1 with cradle for 20 mm gun M2 (American Type Hispano) and the No. 2 with cradle for one Oerlikon or Polsten 20 mm gun.
WWII MOUNTING, AIRBORNE , 20-MM, GUN No. 2 Mark 2 Land Service
I now have an original manual for the above airborne mounting.
I also have four 20mm shell casings dug up on the battlefield at Arnhem by Hans van der Velden near the Hartenstein Hotel where the British 1st Airborne Division made its heroic stand. These came from the Recce Squadron's second gun which survived to the end of the battle.

On August 16, a ceremony was held at the PGZ Stocznia Wojenna to cut first steel for the first frigate-class vessel for the Polish Navy. This marked the beginning of a new stage in the Miecznik programme.
The ceremony, which was attended by Minister of National Defense Mariusz Blaszczak, Minister of State Assets Jacek Sasin and Head of the National Security Bureau Jacek Siewiera, among others, is an important moment in the history of the Polish Navy. Under the Miecznik programme, it will acquire three frigate-class vessels by 2032. These will be the most modern and best-armed units the Navy will have at its disposal.
The three modern Miecznik frigates for the Polish Navy will be built at PGZ Stocznia Wojenna in cooperation with leaders in the defense industry (Babcock, MBDA, Thales, Remontowa Shipbuilding), under the largest contract ever awarded to the Polish shipbuilding industry. The first frigate will be built by 2026. The Miecznik program is being implemented according to schedule.
The multi-role vessels of this class will significantly increase the capabilities of the Polish Navy and will allow it to carry out a wide range of tasks at sea, including, among others, securing shipping lanes and critical infrastructure. The ships will increase the combat potential of the Polish Armed Forces, but will also be an important contribution of the Republic of Poland within the North Atlantic Alliance, for example, by carrying out tasks within the framework of NATO Standing Ship Teams. The multi-purpose frigates will be equipped with modern radiolocation, artillery and missile systems. Thanks to these ships, the Polish Navy will gain new opportunities to carry out a wide range of tasks in Polish maritime areas and participate in missions and exercises organized with NATO allies.
The implementation of the project in Poland allows for the creation of about 2,000 jobs in shipyards, armaments companies and other industrial sectors directly involved in the project. The acquired competencies will develop new capabilities and help work on other projects for the Polish Navy.
The contract with the Armaments Inspectorate was signed on 27.07.2021. The PGZ-M Miecznik Consortium, consisting of: Polska Grupa Zbrojeniowa S.A., PGZ Stocznia Wojenna sp. z o.o. Strategic partners in the project are the companies: Remontowa Shipbuilding S.A., Babcock, Thales UK and MBDA UK.

The price of firearms is 500gp higher than listed in the DMG, but are all automatically made masterwork quality. The extra cost on top of masterwork is to account for the rarity of the weapons and their restricted access to all except high ranking soldiers in the king’s army. Ammo for the weapon is a part of its cost.
Exotic One-Handed Weapon
Pistol – Cost 750gp, Dmg (S) 1d8, Dmg (M) 1d10, Crit x3, Range Increment 50ft, Weight 3lbs, Dmg Type P

A hexagun allows a person to fire multiple gunshots (6) without having to reload. When using a hexagun as a part of a full-round attack the wielder can choose to to make one additional attack per round, giving each attack in the round a -2 penalty to hit (so one attack at a normal +10 becomes two attacks at +8). This ability stacks with the Rapid Shot Feat, but this incurs an additional -2 penalty (one +10 becomes three +6).
Reloading a hexagun is a standard action that incurs an attack of opportunity.

Marlborough Communications Limited (MCL) and its technology partner Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI), have been awarded a contract to deliver four Remote Patrol Vehicles (RPVs) to Spiral 2 of the UK Ministry of Defence (MoD)’s RPV Experimentation Programme. The contract will support and enhance experimentation and capability development for UK land operations and see MCL become a major contractor to the UK MoD RPV Framework Group.
Spiral 2 is aimed at delivering RPVs to support troops on the ground and limit their direct exposure to danger. MCL will supply versatile and upgradable RPVs that include different capabilities and incorporate sensors as part of a technology package with significant durability for use in front line combat.
MCL’s new technology partner IAI, the Israeli-based advanced systems provider, has more than 15 years’ experience in developing and manufacturing land operational autonomous systems.
The RPVs, designed and manufactured by IAI’s ELTA Systems group, are robust, versatile multi-purpose/multi-mission platforms that support and complement troops on the ground and enhance force protection in battlefield conditions.
In addition to their ISTAR (intelligence, surveillance, target acquisition, and reconnaissance) capabilities, the RPVs can provide logistical support including carrying platoon equipment, supplying ammunition and extracting casualties. They can be operated in manual, remote or autonomous modes for enhanced flexibility.
Shane Knight, Managing Director, MCL, said:
“We’re delighted to have secured our first contract with our partner IAI. This is testament to our heritage in integrating and delivering industry-leading capabilities for the UK MoD, working with specialist technology partners such as IAI. Securing the Spiral 2 contract has been a collaborative team effort, and the first step toward exploring new opportunities within the UK.”
Zvi Yarom IAI Land Systems Division, VP & GM commented:
“IAI’s Land division provides a wide range of multi-domain, multi-mission solutions to teams with manoeuvring ground forces, while providing vital tools to commanders and leaders. We offer combat proven, end-to-end solutions and cutting-edge sensors to be used by the soldier, or combat platforms available to fighting forces.

At a recent gun show I scored a Kershaw Ripcord 3200 for 40$. This is a OTF (out the front) slider that operates off a stud attached to the sheath. The blade is a single edge with no serration section. Total length of the blade stored in the holster is just over 2.5 inches.
The knife's handle is aluminum with inlaid rubber grips. There are two serrated sections on the side of the knife that provide a bit of extra grip to the thumb and forefinger. This makes for a nice solid feel in the hand.
The sheath is a very sturdy Kydex, with a sliding clip on the back that fits perfectly around a belt, as well as inside MOLLE loops. This last bit is a nice touch, making the knife a easy addition to any load out.
Now a quick note on the operation of the knife. The blade slides in and out of the handle with the use of this stud on the sheath. To remove the knife from the sheath pull straight up and at the last min pull out a fraction of a inch to remove the blade from the sheath. To stow the blade you do the reverse. to get a better feel for the operation I have created a video.
If you plan on wearing this knife on a belt or vest it is perfect. However if you want a OTF slider for the pocket the reliance on the sheath makes this a poor choice. There is also a legal concern with this knife. Even though the opening device is attached to the blade, and is not spring assisted, I found a few incidents where police confiscated the blade claiming it was a automatic opening blade.
I intend on using this knife while in the field and attaching it to the MOLLE straps on my backpacks hip belt for easy access to a blade. The sheath keeps a good grip on the blade, and I am not worried about it shaking loose on the trail.

The scientific foundation in firearm and tool mark identification is that each firearm/tool produces a signature of identification (striation/impression) that is unique to that firearm/tool, and through examining the individual striation/impressions; the signature can be positively identified to the firearm/tool that produced it. There is no set number of matching striations that are needed for concluding an identification. The inability to identify fired bullets to individual Glock pistols resulted in an in-depth study of Glock's polygonal rifled barrels, which resulted in the manufacturing of the Miami/EBIS Gun Barrel. This research study provided the scholarly research that was needed to determine if questioned bullets from multiple consecutively manufactured Glock Miami/EBIS Gun Barrels could be distinguished from one and other, as well as the criteria for identification. This particular study explored the measurable differences between the relationship of traditional pattern matching, consecutive matching striations and/or a combination of both techniques through an experimental exercise involving bullets that were fired through consecutively manufactured Glock Miami/EBIS Gun Barrels. In addition, the years of experience of the participants in relationship to the results of the experimental exercise was explored. The results of this study provide firearm and tool mark examiners documentation supporting and validating the theory and hypothesis of the forensic science discipline of firearm and tool mark identification.

The Envoy's Long Horn is really a powerful faith-based great hammer, here's how to locate it in Elden Ring Items.
While elden ring items are filled with hundreds of weapons that are mostly simple to obtain, there are some that can need a bit of grinding to obtain as an enemy drop. As enemies are defeated, there is really a very small chance their weapon is going to be dropped to become then acquired and used, sometimes being incredibly powerful when compared with other weapons found nearby.
While farming enemy drops could be a tedious task, there are some ways to accelerate the process. These harder-to-find weapons in many cases are worth the work, because Envoy's Long Horn is really a strong faith-based weapon having a unique skill that deals impressive levels of damage. There are two locations to obtain the hammer and some other ideas to help the likelihood of this weapon dropping when farming enemies.
Where To Find The Envoy's, Long Horn
The only way to obtain an Envoy's Long Horn is to obtain it from an enemy visiting those wielding them. These enemies are available in either Leyndell Capital or Miquella's Hailgree. In Leyndell Capital, beginning with the East Capital Rampart site of grace. Head on the path deeper into the capital, turning left once stepping outside. Ahead of you are going to be many Oracle Envoy enemies, many of them being small ones. Only the larger ones wielding the Long Horn will drop that specific weapon. Killing the enemies and going back to the site of grace to respawn them is easily the most efficient location to farm with this weapon.
Your other option is really a bit later hanging around when exploring Miquella's Haligree. While running across the roots, you will find more Envoy enemies. A few larger ones using the Long Horn will spawn, however, these enemies are stronger compared to those in Leyndell, and also the roots are a little more difficult to fight on when farming, causing this to be the more difficult choice to farm at. For players wanting to accelerate the farming facet of getting this weapon, utilizing a Silver-Pickled Fowl Foot will significantly boost the chances of the weapon being dropped. This weapon comes with an incredibly low drop rate, which is recommended to make use of the Silver Fowl Foot to farm it.
How To Use The Envoy's, Long Horn
The Envoy's Long Horn requires 23 strength, 11 dexterity, and 18 faith to wield. As this weapon is upgraded, it'll scale most from your faith stat and only a little from your strength. This weapon comes using the skill Bubble Shower and can't be infused along with other ashes of war.
This weapon does physical and holy damage, even though it is really a powerful hammer, its skill is beyond excellent. Bubble Shower makes this weapon well well worth the grind to acquire and decimates larger enemies. Each bubble fired in the horn deals independent damage, meaning larger targets hit having a flurry of bubbles will get an incredible quantity of damage.


North-Korea displays new military weapons in military parade
North Korea displayed its defense capabilities in a recent military parade, the second to hold in the past three months.
The military parade came after the eight-day party congress, and was held in Kim Il Sung square in Pyongyang. The event was attended by Kim Jong Un and other top officials Thursday evening.
The state-run news outlet, Korean Central News Agency, reported that the regime has become a “nuclear-weapon state and the world’s greatest defense power.”
Weapons contain new and improved technology
In addition to the rows of tanks, armored vehicles and rockets, there were several new weapons introduced to the public at the parade.
One was “Pukguksong 5,” reported by the North Korean state agency as “the world’s most powerful weapon, submarine-launch ballistic missile.” It is assumed to be an upgraded version of the nation’s submarine-launched ballistic missile (SLBM).
A submarine expert in Seoul suggested that North Korea may have applied the Multiple Independent Targeted Reentry Missile technology (MIRV) to the new model.
Analysts say North Korea is trying to show the world and its citizens its power
“The regime wants to be recognized as a nuclear power by showing off its new strategic weapons, pressuring the international community to respond to their nuclear disarmament negotiations,” Shin Beomchul, director of the Seoul-based Research Institute for Economy and Society said.
Another expert who analyzed the military showcase, said North Korea’s effort was to “attract attention” from the U.S.
“North Korea wants to prove to the world that their nuclear arsenal development is no bluff. They came up with a bigger SLBM since they failed to attract much attention during the military parade last October,” Cha Du Hyeogn, a visiting research fellow of the Asan Institute of Policy Studies said.
This is the first time a military parade occurred in conjunction with a Party Congress. The parade is seen by North Korea watchers as a way for Kim Jong Un to reassure his people of his capabilities as a ruler.


What it does
- Attacking armored and gunship units will now incur a -10 CS penalty for gunner and archer class units.
- Attacking gun platform and torpedo boat ships will incur a -6 CS penalty for gunner and archer class units.
- Attacking armored vessels and aircraft carriers will incur a -12 CS penalty for gunner and archer class units
- Arquebusiers and Musketeers "Move or Fire" has been changed to "Move and Fire Malus". If they move in a turn, they will receive a -6 CS penalty until their next turn
- Added the empire wide effect "Portable Anti-Armor Weapons" to technology "Composite Armor" which adds +3 CS to all gunner class land units when they attack armored units (which reduces the initial penalty).
- Armored units hit by units which have the portable anti-armor weapons will receive -4 CS and -50% movement point until the next turn
- Transport ships attacking normal ships only attack at half efficiency
- and more... (look history)
I have made an optional BepinEx plugin. If you have BepinEx installed for Humankind, just drop the .dll from the shakee.humankind.bettercombatdamage.zip into the Humankind/BepinEx/plugins folder. For BepinEx, download the archive here and extract the contents into the main Humankind install folder. Start the game once so it generates the other folder.
It changes the damage calculation from a set amount of damage ranges (Vanilla) to a comparison difference between the combat strengths of both units. The baseline (0 CS difference) is 28 damage avg (with +/- 5 in each direction for min/max).
- Damage rolls are now a 11 range always. Being at the edge of the possible dame (0 or 100) decreases this range
- It is now possible to do less damage as in vanilla. You will do at least between 2 and 7 damage even if you CS is way below the enemy's unit.
- It takes a more positive cs difference to instantly kill a unit (around +27-30 difference)
- Each positive point cs difference does between +1 and +2 extra damage. Each combat strength point beyond +10 difference, increases the extra damage to +3 and +4.
Changes the units Arquebusiers and Musketeers and the Technology "Composite Armor".
Not Compatible with other mods which changes the above 3 things.
For VIP also install the compatibility patch: RUC + VIP Patch mod for Humankind - mod.io
They are manual download and install only for testing purposes. Would be great to receive feedback on those changes. For install: move or copy the folder inside the archive into your /Documents/Humankind/Community/ folder. Also make sure you do not have the subscribed folder in in mod.io subfolder (or overwrite the files in there)


A "kill vehicle", which is designed to take out enemy missiles, has been successfully tested by the United States Military. Officials at the Vandenberg Air Force Base in California were testing an "Exoatmospheric Kill Vehicle," reports the Business Insider of India
. A target - designed to represent that of a missile - was launched from an Air Force plane over the Pacific Ocean, west of Hawaii. According to raytheon.com
"A kill vehicle is a state-of-the-art projectile that destroys long-range ballistic missiles outside the earth’s atmosphere using the sheer force of impact," and costs around $25 million (£17 million) to build. Once a threat is detected using one of multiple sensors, a Ground-Based Interceptor is then launched into space using a three-stage solid rocket booster. Outside of the Earth’s atmosphere, the EKV seeks out its target using multi-coloured sensors, and cutting-edge technology. Once honed in on its target, and with pinpoint precision, the target is obliterated using the force equivalent to that of a massive collision. This is known as the “hit to kill” process. The test was designed to demonstrate the core ability of manufacturer Raytheon's new "divert thrusters", a development that allows the maneuverability of the warhead. This development comes after a failure during testing procedures several years ago. In a statement announcing the trial
, Dr. Taylor W. Lawrence, president of Raytheon Missile Systems, said it “was a remarkable data-collection opportunity," "These are among our industry's most complex systems. Testing is critically important to ensuring the advancement of reliable kill vehicles for the protection of the U.S. homeland" Riki Ellison, founder of nonprofit Missile Defense Advocacy Alliance, said its success would "provide confidence to our public, reliability to the NORTHCOM (U.S. Northern Command) commander and deterrence against North Korea,"
Raytheon is simultaneously managing four other important "kill vehicle" programs according to the Daily Mail
: the EKV, Standard Missile-3 kinetic vehicle, Redesigned Kill Vehicle, and Multi-Object Kill Vehicle. Later this year another interceptor will be sent to destroy an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) target armed with countermeasures for the very first time, followed in 2017 by two interceptors against a single ICBM. Boeing, Lockheed Martin and Raytheon are collectively working on different parts of a redesign currently scheduled for 2018, which will see improvements to the reliability of the Exoatmospheric Kill Vehicle. The United States are adding a further 14 interceptors in Alaska to the 30 they already have in place.

The GHOST marine platform looks like every action movie aficionado’s dream. It seems like an attack helicopter merged into a stealth jet fighter, except that it is a watercraft instead of an aircraft. Not only that, it also looks like a serious badass tank that means business. Possibly, that was the effect that Juliet Marine Systems was aiming for when it developed this super cavitating watercraft.
Source: Union Leader
This boat has been developed for the United States Navy to use, possibly. The features are certainly something out of a James Bond movie. It is meant to be invisible to radars of enemy ships. At the same time, it is faster than the military watercraft currently in use, it is more economical as well. However, the most important feature claimed by the Juliet Marine Systems for the GHOST is that it is a super cavitating watercraft.
Source: Daily Mail
Super-cavitation is simply the use of cavitation effects to surround any object in water with a gas bubble so that the object travels through the water with the bare minimum of friction. By reducing the drag friction, the object can reach much higher speeds. In GHOST, two tubular foils have been added which are buoyant and lie submerged in water. These are the objects which are super-cavitated allowing the GHOST to travel faster. JMS has yet to reveal the details of this technology.
This watercraft is capable of carrying a sizeable payload in its internal weapons bay if required, including the famous Mark 48 torpedoes. Multiple weapons systems can be incorporated into the GHOST enabling it to attack multiple targets at the same time. Its stealth can allow it to creep up on enemy beaches to transport troops or supplies. So what we have here is a watercraft that is so silent and deadly that calling it a boat would be a grave injustice. Of course, it already has the ridiculously cool name of GHOST.

Just when Hawaiians thought it was safe to come out of their bomb shelters, the folks on the continental U.S. were given cause to look skyward.
MIT professor Theodore Postol and David Wright, a physicist at the Union of Concerned Scientists (UCS), write in this week's Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists that the long-range rocket North Korea launched on April 5th could be converted into a ballistic missile that can theoretically hit half the United States with a payload of one ton or more.
The "Unha-2" rocket, which was a disguised form of a ballistic missile is capable of flying over 6,700 kilometer. The rocket could fly even further -- over 10,000 kilometers -- if turned into a missile: "We estimate that it could have a range of 10,000-10,500 kilometers, allowing it to reach Alaska, Hawaii, and roughly half of the lower 48 states."
They end their scientific speculation on a positive note. If key Unha-2's components were acquired from Russia and elsewhere, they further speculate, then North Korea's domestic missile development program may be much more limited than commonly assumed.
Ok, so the Norks have some tough choices ahead: South Dakota or North Dakota or Ohio or...


Its source is Brandr, an Old Norse name meaning "Sword."
In modern English, we speak of a warrior ''brandishing'' his sword -- that is, swinging it in the air as a display of powerful swordsmanship. Both this word and the Old Norse source of Brenda share an ancestor with the English word ''brand,'' meaning to mark by burning.
Linguists theorize that the sight of a sword flashing in the sun gave the impression that it was on fire. This thrilling (or terrifying) sight may have inspired the Old Norse expressions that gave rise to the ancient name Brandr, the modern English word ''brandish,'' and ultimately the name Brenda.

This article or section is incomplete. Suicide Squad is the feature film adaptation of the popular DC Comics series of the same name. The film centers around a special unit created covertly by the US government and codenamed "Task Force X", aka the "Suicide Squad", which is comprised of notorious "meta-human" criminals and assigned to take on impossible missions in exchange for reduced sentences on their crimes. Dawn of Justice and Wonder Woman.
The Glock 17 is used prominently in the film. Deadshot also makes use of an unmodified Glock 17 while being tested in prison. Besides his custom Glock 17 and his wrist guns, Deadshot Will Smith carries two full-auto Glock 18s in dual small-of-the-back holsters. The revolver is seen also in the hands of Deadshot. It is heavily customized with a purple finished slide and frame with all the other parts being gold plated, custom gold inlaid engravings on the flats of the slide and frame, and textured faux ivory grip panels with gold Joker emblems.
Harley Quinn Margot Robbie also handles the Joker's custom pistol. The rifle has a two tone red and gold paintjob, has a red painted Magpul CTR stock, and is fitted with a custom made handguard and muzzle brake. Deadshot also uses customized magazines, which are red painted Magpul PMAGs fitted with gold finished TTI Firepower magazine extensions these are replacement PMAG baseplates which increase the capacity of a 30 round magazine to 35 rounds.
Joker Jared Leto and his soldiers carry M4A1s at the end of the film. A heavily customised AKM with a suppressor is seen used by one of the Joker's armed assailants, who is dressed in a Panda suit. Harleen Quinzel interviews the Joker at Arkham, a female guard can be seen armed with a Mossberg shotgun with a high-capacity magazine tube. One of the drones transformed by the Enchantress is seen carrying what appears to be a Remington Folding Stock with the folding stock removed.
Another also holds one with a solid stock and pistol grip. Deadshot Will Smith is also armed with dual wrist weapons called "wrist magnums" that are built from Glock 19 pistols. The props used in the film were designed and custom made by Walter Klassen FX and Movie Armaments Group this included "design work, CAD renderings, machining, assembly, finishing and powder coating". New CNC-machined frames were created for the the Glock 19s and the magazine release and ejection of the one mounted to Smith's right wrist were reversed so that the casings would be able to eject upwards.


Top lever release crossbows?
I am looking for information on crossbows made before 1600 that used a top lever release. This is a lever mounted to the top of the stock which when the long rear end is depressed, it turns on an axle and the short front end lifts the string out of a notch. The only reference that I have seen on these is a mention of the finding of the partial remains of a child's toy crossbow that used such a mechanism.
Does anyone have any information on such a release?
Thank you for any help you can give.

Knife Intensive Tactical Training - K.I.T.T. - Pre-Register
K.I.T.T. is focused on combative tactical realities and difficulties faced during knife encounters and how best to exploit the major factors of knife combat.
KITT is focused on the knife wielding attacker, which is one of the most dangerous situations to face. With little to no room for error, fancy and flashy techniques are left behind for tactically sound methods that can be relied upon under pressure.


In a September 3rd press release, Walmart CEO Doug McMillon outlined a series of new gun policies in response to recent mass shootings.
Walmart will "discontinue sales of short-barrel rifle ammunition such as the .223 caliber and 5.56 caliber that, while commonly used in some hunting rifles, can also be used in large capacity clips on military-style weapons."
The company also promised to "sell through and discontinue handgun ammunition; and... discontinue handgun sales in Alaska, marking our complete exit from handguns."
McMillon stated that, "we believe these actions will reduce our market share of ammunition from around 20% to a range of approximately 6 to 9%."
Food For Thought
Did Walmart make the right decision? What kind of impact, if any, will it have on our national gun conversation?
