Burning-type grenades are usually fitted with igniting fuzes which function with a 1.2 to 2-second delay. Functioning of the fuze ignites the first-fire (starting) mixture which ignites the filler. The burning filler creates sufficient pressure to blow tape covering the emission holes (gas ports) free and allow the chemical agent (riot control gas, smoke) to escape.
WARNING: Burning-type grenades burn oxygen. Standard protective masks filter particles but will not supply oxygen. Therefore, burning grenades will not be used in enclosed or confined spaces.
Bursting-type grenades are fuzed with delay fuzes which contain high-explosive detonators. The detonators rupture the grenade body and disperse the filler (tear gas, white phosphorus). Although this type of grenade functions by bursting, it creates the same effect as burning grenades.
The current U.S. policy governing the use of CS and other riot-control munitions is found in Executive Order 11850, 8 April 1975. CS irritant gas (tear gas) may be employed in a combat zone with the approval of a higher authority. U.S. forces will employ CS in wartime defensively only to save lives as approved by the President. The Secretary of Defense may authorize the use of CS to protect and recover nuclear weapons. CS may be used on military installations (domestic and overseas), embassy grounds, and so forth, in war and in peace.
The U.S. and many other countries do not consider CS or other control agents to be chemical warfare weapons; however, some other countries do not draw a distinction.

I took a commission to build Samus Aran's pistol from Metroid: Other M. This was built in about 2 months, and it's a one-off build. Primary construction includes layered 1/4" MDF and layered 2mm sintra. The pistol was built hollow to accommodate electronics (the barrel lights up when you pull the trigger) and to help reduce weight when holstered in the thigh holster. The entire project included the pistol, a vacuum-formed holster, and a custom made thigh pad to which the holster attaches.

Russia has officially launched the development of a replacement for the MiG-31 ‘Foxhound’ interceptor under the PAK DP (Predpolagayemyy vozdukha Kompleks dlya Dal’ney Perekhvat: Prospective Air Complex for Long-Range Interception) programme.
Rostec announced on 22 January that PAK DA, which was touted as far back as 2015, has now commenced, saying, “Development of the next generation of interceptor fighters has already begun. The project of the PAK DP under the designation ‘MiG-41’ is at the stage of development work.”
News of the work comes some five-and-a-half years after the then commander-in-chief of the Russian Aerospace Forces (VKS), Colonel-General Viktor Bondarev, said in August 2015 that the effort would be launched in 2019, with the goal of fielding a replacement for the 1970s era MiG-31 in the 2028 timeframe.
The VKS is currently upgrading 130 of its approximately 200 ‘Foxhound’ aircraft to the latest MiG-31BM standard. This upgrade encompasses the aircraft’s avionics, cockpit displays, datalinks, radar, and fire-control systems, and will also see the refurbishment of the fuselage and landing gear.
By the time this process is complete, the MiG-31BM will be fit to serve through to the 2030s. Even so, the VKS has said that it is looking to field a replacement in about the 2028 timeframe. Specific details, such as performance specifications, pertaining to this PAK DP replacement have not yet been released.


final month, North Korea (DPRK) held a huge military parade as share of its Day of the Sun celebrations. Among the parade’s tanks and choreographed marches were huge vehicles carrying massive unique missiles, never before seen by the media. Analysts feared they indicated North Korea was urgent ahead with long-range missiles.
These fears were proven right over the weekend, as the country conducted its most sophisticated missile test yet. The missile, dubbed by North Korea’s media as a Hwasong-12, was fired on a steep trajectory high into space, reaching a total altitude of 2,111.5km before reentering over the Sea of Japan. Should the missile hold been fired laterally significantly than nearly straight up, it would be able to reach further than any current missile operated by the country.
“It appears to be able to coast approximately 4,500 km, which means anywhere from the western reaches of China to the eastern Aleutian Islands. That circle includes Guam, of course,” explains Joshua Pollack, an expert on nuclear and missile proliferation in Northeast Asia.
As well, the test confirmed that North Korea was well-advanced into its development of the reentry vehicles needed to successfully and accurately deliver a nuclear weapon from space via a long-range ballistic missile.
“This test is an indication of a viable reentry vehicle for ICBM (intercontinental ballistic missile) ranges. So was the successful Musudan test of final summer, involving a different type of RV [re-entry vehicle]. Both tests were “lofted,” meaning launched nearly straight up, which leads to a more stressful reentry than would normally be the case for an intermediate-range missile,” explained Pollack.
The timing of the launch, just days after the inauguration of South Korea’s unique President Moon Jae-in, was designed to test the resolve of the incoming government and fits into a sample of similar provocations.
“North Korea has a history of attempting to test unique South Korean and U.S. administrations,” said Sung-Yoon Lee, an expert on North Korea from the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy.
Indeed similar missile or nuclear tests occurred in 2003, 2008, 2009 and 2013, testing the incoming governments of Obama and Xi Jinping, in addition to fresh South Korean leaders.
“Being a political factor, a nuisance, a threat, is the North Korean way. Otherwise, why would the world’s biggest, most powerful, richest countries give money and respect to a weird dictator presiding over a nation of 25 million hungry people?” Lee remarks.
Despite two failed launches earlier this month, South Korean officials are alarmed at the speed at which the DPRK’s missile program is progressing, with Defense Minister Han Min-koo saying the North was moving faster than expected. More pessimistically, the South Korean President even went so far as to say there was a “high opportunity” of military clash with the DPRK.
For the U.S., the test showed that North Korea is now even closer to having an operational ICBM capability, able to strike major American cities. As such, the launch also represents a failure of the existing regime of sanctions aimed at preventing the country from attaining this capability. Sung-Yoon Lee attributes this to a lack of commitment to enforcement, significantly than a failure of the tactic itself.
“Sanctions hold not worked because they hold never been enforced in any meaningful way. The widespread notion that U.S. sanctions against North Korea are maxed out is simply fake. […] There’s a lot more the U.S. could effect to choke off Pyongyang’s money streams and coast after Chinese banks and entities that enable NK,” he says.
however a major change in North Korea’s trajectory, its missile development and its nuclear program will still forge ahead at an alarming rate. The world is still awaiting a possible sixth nuclear test, which although postponed, will likely occur in the coming months. At such a point, major players like the U.S., China and South Korea will hold to settle: effect they want to push harder with sanctions, or will they instead peep towards more unsafe solutions?


The gun is a tubular weapon which propels solid projectiles and charged particles at high speeds. A firearm also refers to a gun. The speed and strength of the projectile vary from the design of one gun to another. The bullet which is the projectile in many guns is compelled by rapid combustion or mechanical compression. Guns are very dangerous and sensitive weapons and should be stored carefully and safely. Various gun storage facilities have been created. To safely store a gun, one needs one of the following; gun stands, hold up displays, safes or the gun hangers. The gun storage facilities are mainly designed to be used in the army barracks. The following are the importance of the firearm storage facilities. Read more here
Some gun storage equipment protect theft. Guns can be used in a variety of illegal activities and the owner should, therefore, ensure they are not stolen. The lockable gun safes are the best since they are only accessed by the authorized people only. The safes should also be established in lockable rooms. The modern gun storage safes are unlocked using the fingerprints and the pin codes. Since the fingerprints are different from one individual to another, these safes are recommended for gun storage.
Gun hangers and other storage facilities ensure the children do not have access to the firearms. Recently, we have experienced scenarios where children have injured and shot themselves as a result of unsafe keeping of firearms. Children will play with all the things they find on their way or the things they get reach of. The gun hold up gun displays and the gun safes are the best facilities to ensure no reach of guns by the children. The storage should also be always locked.
The gun safes ensure the guns cannot be damaged by fire. The chemicals that are used in the combustion in the gun tube are very deadly in case they are subjected to fire. A gun owner should purchase the firearm storage equipment such as the fireproof gun safes to ensure these weapons are not damaged by fire. More about Hold Up Displays
The firearm storage facilities ensure you maintain your gun ownership rights. A person being issued with a gun must accept the gun ownership terms after carefully reading them. The major condition is the denial of the ownership rights in case of the misuse of the gun. You are also supposed to be sued in courts in case of any preventative gun accident. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TMNLERkbZ34
The hold up displays and firearm storage facilities ensure good maintenance of the guns. In order to enjoy the services of any equipment for many years, it should be safely stored.
The above are the significances of the gun storage equipment.

As the old cliché goes, time flies.
I meant to post this blog for Throwback Thursday. Getting ready for the non-starter winter storm that left us with an inch of snow on top of a glaze of ice, plus my one-day-a-week “real world” job left my once-a-month blog unwritten.
Some of you know about my affection, well OK, love for Glock pistols. For a bunch of new readers of both my books and blog, I thought it would be fun to reminisce about how that love affair started.
So. Here goes!
In 2009 I was hard at work on Consummate Betrayal, the first book in the Rowan Milani Chronicles. My research told me that FBI agents carried Glock pistols. At that point in my life, I had never fired a pistol. I’d always thought of shooting firearms as a someday hobby.
Quick aside – my mother did tell me that when I was three or four, she found me sitting on their bed, pointing my dad’s revolver out the window. According to her, I was going to shoot a “sqrill.” Thankfully, she averted a sure disaster!
But I digress.
In order to accurately portray a gun-toting protagonist, I had to shoot a pistol. Since my protagonist, Rowan Milani, is (guess I should say – was) an FBI agent, I really wanted to shoot a Glock. A great friend took me to the range and let me shoot his 9mm pistol. But it wasn’t a Glock, so of course, that wasn’t good enough.
I had to get a Glock.
On Valentine’s Day weekend in 2010, in an almost blizzard, my intrepid husband took me to a gun show in Sioux Falls. The Ramkota Exhibit Hall was jam-packed with gun folk of all sorts. Getting close enough to actually see the myriad offerings of semi-autos, revolvers and every possible accessory, took patience and a little smiling, insistent elbowing my way between bodies.
I’ll never forget seeing that black pistol, lying among all the other offerings, on one of many tables. It was the first Glock I’d ever seen in person. I’d read somewhere that when you find the perfect pistol, it speaks to you. And so…
I picked it up.
It felt so right. The grip fit my hand perfectly. The balanced weight felt comfortable and at the same time, powerful. On that snowy Saturday afternoon, the sleek, sexy, 40 caliber Glock 22 came home with me. And that, as they say, to use one final cliché, is the rest of the story.
Or is it?
I began a new life that day. For me, carrying a gun isn’t about appearing badass and cool. It’s a huge responsibility. For anyone contemplating purchasing a gun for self-defense, I highly recommend a great book, titled Armed Response: A Comprehensive Guide to Using Firearms for Self-Defense by David Kenik.
Your answer to THE QUESTION posed at the beginning of Chapter Two will tell you whether or not you should carry a gun.
My Glock inventory has changed several times. Currently, my 45 caliber Glock 36 is my favorite, supplemented by the sweet, newish Glock 43, a 9mm baby brother to the .45 that fits nicely in my purse or ankle holster.
I’m always up for a civil, well-informed conversation about how our American culture is, indeed, gun culture and about our cherished Second Amendment, guarantor of ALL the other rights we hold dear. I am more than willing to help anyone interested in pursuing responsible firearms ownership.
Thanks, everyone, for reading my blog and books! Please give my blog a FOLLOW, and my author page a LIKE, if you’re so inclined. Here’s my fave – the Glock 36. ♥♥

The Legacy Game
Teoti's blender-ish weapon
One end holy, other end flaming burst, 1d6 damage on regular hits. Critical hit (16-20) deals extra 1d10 damage in addition to regular crit damage. Holy end deals 1d8 damage with an extra 2d6 damage against anything evil. Crit range 16-20
Teoti carved this when she reached her reached adulthood (which point she was already a level 3 ranger) while the community’s magic users imbued it with a +1 enhancement and made one end holy and the other one flaming burst.


It consisted of two pieces of steel inserted into the pockets of a regular black military vest. The first flak jacket weighed 22 pounds. However, no standard official form of armor was available, and all forms were purchased by individual soldiers.
A greave was worn on the right leg, and the helmet was of bronze with a crest of three feathers. Nevertheless, it did a good job of stopping shell blasts, rocket fragments, snake bites, fire ant bites, prickly thorn and slower bullets fired at a moderate range.
In early Octoberan analysis of wounds incurred by US Eighth Air Force combat personnel revealed that approximately 70 percent were due to relatively low velocity missiles. The details of pre-Homeric armor must always be largely a matter of inference.
The helmets were either Corinthian, which covered the face to the chin, with slits for eyes, and often had no plume or crest; or the Athenian, which did not cover the face though sometimes it had cheekites which could be turned up if necessaryhad crests, some triple, with plumes of feathers, horsehair or leather; a steel cap without crest, plumes or cheek-plates.
The Atwater armorplate would defeat a jacketed bullet fired from a caliber. Some aircrew in medium bombers like the B and B also used them. Edit Anecdotes describing garments designed to protect the wearer from penetrating weapons can be found far back into recorded history.
The preponderance of wounds derived from fragmentation-type weapons either shrapnel or shell fragment. Two types of protective garment from the American Civil War in the s had a basic design similar to the flak jacket or ballistic armor of modern times in that solid plates were used as the main ballistic protection.
Those were hot, uncomfortable, heavy and bulky. With the rebirth of body armor during the Korean War, the M12 vest was used initially by American troops in conjunction with the newer all-nylon-type vest. Armor of this type was said to have been worn by Archduke Francis Ferdinand of Austria when he was killed by a shot to the head, thereby precipitating World War I.
The chief factors in the discontinuance of body armor at that time were the inconvenience due to the extra weight and bulk and the marked ridicule of those individuals who were wearing the armor by their comrades who did not avail themselves of the protection. It was extremely hard to move around in them.
Two types of protective garment from the American Civil War in the s had a basic design similar to the flak jacket or ballistic armor of modern times in that solid plates were used as the main ballistic protection.
However, very preliminary investigations had shown that most models were too heavy, were incompatible with standard items of equipment, and tended to restrict the mobility of the soldier. The next generation of ballistic vests was introduced during World War II.
It was claimed that the M field jacket could stop a 90 grain 7. US officials had adapted the flak vest from the Royal Air Force. The initial product consisted of layers of glass filaments of Fiberglas bonded together with an ethyl cellulose resin under high pressure.
The Atwater vest was heavier than the Cook models and cost about twice as much. One analysis of the differences in injury patterns between soldiers equipped with modern body armor in an urban environment compared with the soldiers of the Vietnam War focused on combat casualties sustained by United States military forces in Mogadishu, Somalia, on October 3 and 4, These first flak jackets were heavy, but they did stop flak.
The hoplites, who formed the main Athenian army, wore helmet, body armor, greaves and ieshld, and fought with pike and sword.
In fact, the only real protection available against firearms were man-made barriers, such as stone or masonry walls; manmade fortifications such as trenches and ditches; or natural barriers, such as rocks and trees.
Bywith the invention of a socket bayonet that could be fitted onto the end of the flintlock musket without plugging the barrel, the pike disappeared entirely and along with it the helmet and body armor that had been designed primarily for protection against pikes and swords.
As civilizations became more advanced, wooden shields and then metal shields came into use.
There were combat casualties. The equipment of the Roman soldier, passed through a number of changes. The jackets were supposed to protect against shrapnel and heat.
Again, the vests would stop shrapnel but not a bullet. During the Civil War, a number of types of protective shields and breastplates were developed by interested parties, and some of these were considered for possible official military usage. It was not until the Korean War that it was utilized in the field.
Following initial laboratory research, the agency concluded that the objective of producing body armor suitable for full-time police use was achievable.Flak jacket definition is - a jacket containing metal plates for protection against flak; broadly: a bulletproof vest —called also flak vest.
A flak jacket or flak vest is a form of body armor designed to provide protection from case fragments ("frag") from high explosive weaponry, such as anti-aircraft artillery ("flak"), grenades, some round shot used in shotguns and.
history of bulletproof vest In bulletproof vest These “ flak jacket s” were flexible enough to permit relatively free movement by the wearer while affording him adequate protection against shell fragments. Soon the ''flak suit" was mass produced by both the British and the Americans.
This light body armor and the addition of a steel helmet were Grow's ideas that saved many lives and improved combat crew morale. A flak jacket is designed to provide protection from case fragments ("frag") from high explosive weaponry, such as anti-aircraft artillery ("flak" is a German contraction for Fliegerabwehrkanone ("aircraft-defense gun")), grenades, some round shot used in shotguns and land mines, and other lower-velocity projectiles.

Quoting Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum | Boeing B-29 Superfortress "Enola Gay":
Boeing’s B-29 Superfortress was the most sophisticated propeller-driven bomber of World War II and the first bomber to house its crew in pressurized compartments. Although designed to fight in the European theater, the B-29 found its niche on the other side of the globe. In the Pacific, B-29s delivered a variety of aerial weapons: conventional bombs, incendiary bombs, mines, and two nuclear weapons.
On August 6, 1945, this Martin-built B-29-45-MO dropped the first atomic weapon used in combat on Hiroshima, Japan. Three days later, Bockscar (on display at the U.S. Air Force Museum near Dayton, Ohio) dropped a second atomic bomb on Nagasaki, Japan. Enola Gay flew as the advance weather reconnaissance aircraft that day. A third B-29, The Great Artiste, flew as an observation aircraft on both missions.

Long range surveillance in all weathers is an essential requirement for the armed services, whether in times of peace or conflict. Airborne radar is one of the principal sensors able to provide such a capability.
This article is a summary of the topics covered in the 22nd Jenkin Lecture. It presents an overview of some airborne surveillance radar applications, starting with a brief introduction to the concept of radar and the early history of airborne surveillance radar, from before WWII. The early war-time radars evolved into radars such as the Searchwater family of radars, in service with the UK Royal Air Force and Royal Navy. The latest generation of airborne surveillance radars for battlefield surveillance are now being deployed on Unmanned Air Vehicles (UAVs), such as the Viper radar being developed by Thales for the British Army's Watchkeeper system. The operational use of these radars and the information that can be derived from them are briefly described here. The article finishes with a look at some technology trends for future systems.
Radar is an electromagnetic sensor for the detection and location of reflecting objects. Figure 1 shows radar operation in simple terms. The radar radiates electromagnetic energy, usually in the form of a short pulse, into space from a directive antenna. The radar pulse propagates at the speed of light through space until it encounters a reflecting object, known as a target. The energy reflected by the target propagates back towards the radar, where it is intercepted by the radar antenna (now switched from transmit to receive). A radar receiver processes the intercepted energy to indicate the presence of the target. The range to the target is estimated from the time taken for the pulse of energy to propagate from the radar to the target and back. The radar antenna usually operates over a narrow angular beam and the bearing of the target is estimated from the pointing direction of the antenna at the instant that the target is detected.
|Figure 1: Radar operation
Surveillance radars may emit a continuous stream of pulses (typically of the order of thousands of pulses a second, each having a length of the order of a few microseconds) and scan the antenna beam in azimuth and elevation to achieve coverage in range and bearing. The radar returns from a target contain a considerable amount of information: not only the range to a target, but its radial velocity (imparting a Doppler shift to the radar carrier frequency) and, often, its shape. A modern radar uses very considerable computing power to process the returns from targets to provide detection, tracking, classification and, indeed, imaging of targets.
In August 1937 an RAF Avro Anson flew with the RDF2 equipment - what was to become known as radar. This was the world's first airborne surveillance radar. Figure 2 is a picture by Anthony Cowland commissioned by THORN EMI to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the death of Alan Blumlein (see below). This radar operated at a frequency of 200 MHz (VHF) and it detected ships at a range of eight miles on that first flight. At that time, the UK company EMI was developing the first electronically scanned television system and RDF2 used an EMI television receiver, operating at 60 MHz, as its intermediate frequency (IF) amplifier.
|Figure 2: "The Big Echo" painting by Anthony Cowland illustrating the first airborne radar flight in 1937
EMI was not initially involved in radar but at the start of the war it took the technology developed for television and applied it to radar. Alan Blumlein had been a lead engineer in the development of television and then took over the radar work at EMI, until his death in a flying accident (testing the H2S radar) in 1942 (http://www.rafcaa.org.uk/goodrich.html). EMI had undertaken the engineering development of the H2S radar earlier that year, using the newly invented magnetron transmitter. The magnetron allowed high transmitter power to be developed at microwave frequencies (typically 1-10 GHz), providing better angular resolution from an aircraft antenna and improved immunity from jamming, compared to the existing VHF radars.
H2S was originally developed as a bomb-aiming radar, fitted to aircraft in RAF Bomber Command. Indeed, H2S Mk9 was still in service with the RAF in 1982, fitted to the Vulcan bombers that attacked Port Stanley in the Falklands War. H2S Mk1 operated at a frequency of 3 GHz and subsequent variants worked at 10 GHz, still the frequency band of many modern airborne surveillance radars. In 1942, radar was becoming an important weapon for hunting German U-boats in the North Atlantic. The ASV (Anti Surface Vessel) Mk2 radar, operating at 200 MHz was being deployed but was becoming vulnerable to jamming by the enemy. H2S Mk1 was fitted as ASV Mk3 in Wellingtom aircraft of RAF Coastal Command. The introduction of these centimetric radars was a major contribution to the winning of the battle of the Atlantic.
After the war, during the 1950s, EMI developed the ASV 21 maritime surveillance radar fitted to RAF Shackleton, Canadian Argus and Indian Constellation aircraft. In the early 1970s it was fitted to the new Nimrod MR1 aircraft, developed from the Comet airliner.
Coming more up to date, the RAF Nimrod MR2 aircraft entered service in 1980 and was recently retired from service in March 2010. This had the Searchwater radar, manufactured by EMI Electronics (now Thales). These Nimrod maritime patrol aircraft have been a vital element of our defence capability. The RAF originally had 20 Nimrod MR2 in service and this had reduced to 11 by the end of their service life with some of the fleet being used in the development of the Nimrod MRA4 (described below). They were used for submarine hunting (ASW), maritime surveillance (ASuW, previously ASV) and search and rescue. The aircraft had an endurance of 10 to 12 hours and a range of about 3800 miles. They operated at up to 40,000 ft for long range surveillance or at 500 ft or below for ASW operation. The aircraft were packed with electronics, including ESM, FLIR, MAD, sonobuoys, cameras, DAS, communications equipment and weapons, including Harpoon, Sting Ray torpedoes, Sidewinder air-to-air missiles and bombs.
Figure 3 shows a number of submarine masts, including a communications mast, a search periscope, an ESM mast and an attack periscope. These traditionally have been the main target for the radar and what drove its design. The smallest mast is the attack periscope, which may only be exposed about a metre above the sea surface. The radar must be able to detect such a mast after a brief exposure of only a few seconds in a high sea state and a range of tens of miles.
|Figure 3: Submarine masts
The Searchwater radar was in its day one of the world's highest performing maritime surveillance radars. It had many advanced features, including pulse compression, pulse-to-pulse frequency agility, digital signal processing and computer control. The display was a colour raster-scanned CRT and operator control was achieved through the use of hard buttons, a roller ball and alpha-numeric keypad entry. The operator had considerable ability to reconfigure the radar according to the task and prevailing conditions.
In the late 1990s Thales won the contract to design and manufacture the next generation of maritime surveillance radar, Searchwater 2000, for the new Nimrod MRA4. It provides similar modes to the original Searchwater radar, with several new modes, including coherent air-to-air detection and radar imaging modes, known as synthetic aperture radar (see discussion below). The new radars include fully software-defined signal and data processing, providing an adaptive multifunction radar system with rapid mode switching and radar reconfiguration.
The new Nimrods are being manufactured by rebuilding the MR2 aircraft, with new wings, new engines and completely new avionics, including the new radar. A prototype aircraft is shown in Figure 4.
|Figure 4: Nimrod MRA4 prototype
The new Rolls-Royce engines will give it a range of 6000 miles, compared to about 3800 miles for the MR2. Unfortunately this aircraft is still not in service and is many years late. The originally planned in-service date was 2003 for 23 aircraft and now only nine aircraft are due to enter service in 2012.
Modern airborne surveillance radars, such as the Searchwater 2000 and the I-Master UAV radar discussed later, include a radar imaging capability, called Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR). Figure 5 is an example of a high resolution SAR image of fields, roads, buildings and an airfield. Notice the different textures and detail that can be observed.
|Figure 5: Synthetic Aperture Radar image of airfield runway and fields
A radar antenna with an aperture (width) D will have a beamwidth given by λ/D radians, where λ is the wavelength of the electromagnetic signal. A typical airborne microwave radar antenna may have a beamwidth of about 2°, achieved with an antenna aperture of about 1 m when operating at a frequency of 10 GHz. At long ranges the spatial resolution of such a radar may therefore be very poor. A beam of 2° is subtended by a cross-range dimension of about 3 km at a range of 100 km, and this means that the radar cannot resolve in angle objects spaced closer than about 3 km at that range. However, a realistic military requirement may be to resolve individual vehicles spaced only a few metres apart.
The range resolution of the radar is determined by its pulse bandwidth and a range resolution of the order of, say, 1 m is relatively easy to achieve (radars with range resolutions of the order of 10 cm are now practical). A comparable azimuth resolution at 100 km range would require a real aperture of about 3 km at an operating frequency of 10 GHz, which is clearly not realistic for an airborne platform.
By using a coherent radar (a radar that can measure the phase as well as the amplitude of the signals reflected from a target) it is possible to achieve considerably improved azimuth resolution by utilising the Doppler or phase content of the returns from successive radar pulses transmitted as the aircraft flies along a straight track. The radar records the returns to synthesise the signal that would have been achieved from a larger aperture lying along the aircraft track. This is the basis for synthetic aperture radar. The improved angular resolution of a target can be considered as being achieved by the translation or rotation of the target relative to the radar, similar to optical holography.
Figure 6 explains the basic principle of side-looking swath SAR imaging mode. A real aperture D has a real beamwidth θr that illuminates a cross-range extent of L ≈ R0θr at a range R0 (R0 >> L). By flying along a distance L and recording returns at intervals of λ/2 we can synthesise a phased array aperture of length L. Such an aperture would have a beamwidth given by λ/2L (a factor 2 has appeared because the beam is formed by a two-way transmission of the radar pulses) and a range resolution ρs which equals, after substitution in the formulas, D/2 - a remarkable result that says we can achieve a cross-range resolution of half the real aperture, independent of range.
|Figure 6: Synthetic Aperture Radar
A radar operating in this mode can create a continuous map along its flight path, as shown for example in Figure 5. By steering the antenna to illuminate a fixed patch on the ground we can achieve synthetic apertures greater than L in the example here. This is known as spotlight SAR, and resolutions of down to less than 10 cm have been achieved in this way with microwave radars. Figure 7 shows an example of a spotlight SAR image, of the same scene as Figure 5, but imaged from a different direction. In this image, the runway shows up as black, with little signal reflected back towards the radar. Notice also the shadows cast by the trees and hedges in the fields.
|Figure 7: Spotlight SAR image of airport runway (see Figure 5)
In the 1970s the Royal Navy had large aircraft carriers with "organic" AEW (i.e. available on board) provided by Fairey Gannet aircraft. With the arrival of the "through-deck cruisers", flying helicopters and vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) Harrier aircraft, but no fixed-wing AEW aircraft, it was assumed that AEW cover would be provided by the RAF Shackletons or their successors, the E3-D AWACS, operating from land bases. By contrast, the large USA aircraft carriers have continuous organic AEW cover provided by their Hawkeye AEW aircraft.
Then in the Falklands War of 1982, the Royal Navy sailed to the South Atlantic where no AEW cover was available. This led to the early loss due to air attack of HMS Sheffield and subsequently a number of the RN ships, highlighting an urgent need for organic AEW.
In response to this urgent operational requirement, over a period of 11 weeks THORN EMI developed two prototype AEW platforms installed in Sea King helicopters, using modified Searchwater radars and a completely new antenna assembly and aircraft installation. These were embarked for the Falklands and arrived just as the war ended. The radars were very successful and RN 849 Squadron, which had previously flown the Gannet AEW aircraft, was reformed with the AEW Sea King Mk2 helicopters.
This radar and all the mission system avionics have now been completely replaced by Thales, in the Sea King Mk7 Airborne Surveillance and Control (ASaC) aircraft, shown in Figure 8.
|Figure 8: Sea King Mk7 ASaC
The radar antenna and scanner is housed to the side of the aircraft in the "dustbin" assembly, which swings upwards towards the rear of the aircraft for landing. The pulse Doppler radar provides a full "look-down" capability to detect air targets over land and sea.
The use of unmanned air vehicles is becoming increasingly important in modern warfare. These platforms can provide wide area surveillance over long time periods, sending imagery and radar detections down to the forces on the ground. For example, the Watchkeeper tactical UAV (TUAV) system is about to enter service with the British Army. This system has been designed by Thales to meet the customer's statement of need:
WATCHKEEPER is required to provide accurate, timely and high quality imagery and Image Intelligence (IMINT), collected, collated, exploited and disseminated to satisfy land manoeuvre commanders' critical information and intelligence requirements within the context of Joint operations throughout a range of environments and across the spectrum of conflict.
The TUAV for Watchkeeper is shown in Figure 9.
|Figure 9: Watchkeeper tactical UAV
The main sensors on the Watchkeeper platform are a radar and an electro-optic and infra-red (EO/IR) imaging system, in the two pods below the fuselage. Imagery and data collected by the sensor are relayed to a ground control station using a microwave data link. Whilst EO/IR sensors are widely used in many applications, radar is the only sensor that can provide all-weather, day and night, operational capability at long ranges. The radar has two main modes of operation, synthetic aperture radar (SAR) imaging and ground moving target indication (GMTI).
SAR images, such as those in Figures 5 and 7, can show stationary vehicles and buildings, as well as cultural details, with spatial resolutions of less than a meter. An important application is the detection of changes between images of the same scene, taken at different times. Some changes can be detected in this way from optical images but this can be difficult, as the time of day and weather can significantly affect the images. Also the statistics of optical image amplitude and colour are not significantly affected by subtle changes. With a radar, the illumination of the scene can be repeated very accurately from successive flights of an air platform. Large changes to a scene, such as the movement of parked vehicles, may be detected by comparing the intensity of individual pixels (resolved picture elements) in accurately aligned images. However, if the phases as well as the amplitudes of the returns are compared, much more subtle changes can be detected. By comparing the phase of the signals, changes due to relative position movements of fractions of the radar wavelength (typically, therefore, fractions of 3 cm) can be detected. Such small changes would not be evidenced by any discernible change in image intensity.
As well as the ability to image a stationary scene, and look for long-term changes in it, another important military requirement is the detection and localisation of moving targets. The GMTI radar mode provides the ability to detect slow moving targets over a large area and report their position in geographic map coordinates. Individual targets may also be tracked.
The technology of airborne radar continues to evolve. The advanced radar results discussed here require very precise radar instrumentation and considerable computing power for the signal and data processing. The large airborne radars discussed here (such as the Searchwater radar variants in the Sea King Mk7 and Nimrod MRA4) use travelling wave tubes (TWT) to generate their high power transmitted pulses. Increasingly now radars are being developed with solid state transmitters, using a technology known as Active Electronically Scanned Arrays (AESA). Now, instead of a single large TWT transmitter, the power is generated by a large number of small solid-state transmit/receive modules, distributed over the antenna aperture. The modules also act as the radar receiver, with the focused antenna beam being formed and steered electronically. This technology brings significant advantages from the ability to steer the beam very rapidly and also to adapt the beamshape, for example to steer nulls in the pattern in the direction of a jammer. In the area of signal processing, much research continues into the development of robust, high performance SAR and GMTI systems, with particular emphasis on classification and identification of targets, as well as detection and tracking in difficult environments. Perhaps the greatest challenge for radar designers in the future will be to achieve the very high performance discussed here with radars that are lightweight, small size and, above all, low cost.

10/22® Barrel Pusher
Proudly Made In The USA
The AccuTec 10/22® Barrel Pusher is designed to remove the barrel from any factory Ruger 10/22 receiver. It works with all available calibers including 17HMR, 17HM2, 22LR and 22WMR.
CAUTION: Make sure that firearm is unloaded before attempting any modifications!
Rifle will need to be field stripped before the barrel can be removed. Any mounted optics or other sights may be left in place at the user's discretion, as they will not interfere with barrel removal. The exception to this are extended scope bases that cantilever over the barrel and physically attach via screws.
CAUTION:Any screws or other hardware connecting a scope or scope base from an extended mount DIRECTLY TO THE BARREL MUST BE REMOVED PRIOR TO BARREL REMOVAL.
DIRECTIONS FOR FIELD STRIPPING/DISASSEMBLY
- Remove magazine and set aside, pull bolt back and visually inspect chamber for a cartridge.
Remove cartridge if one is present.
- Loosen screw on barrel band (if present) and slide band off of barrel.
- Loosen the take down screw located on bottom of stock, just forward of the magazine well.
These are usually captured in the stock and complete removal of the screw from the bottom of the stock
is not necessary – just make sure that the screw disconnects from the bottom of the receiver.
- Position the safety so that an equal amount is protruding from either side of the trigger guard.
Carefully lift the barrel/receiver assembly out of the stock.
- Drift out the two receiver cross pins that hold the trigger guard assembly in place and remove the assembly.
- In order to remove the bolt, first drift out the bolt stop pin located at the rear of the receiver.
Now, place the barrel/receiver assembly upside down. Using your left hand, pull the bolt handle fully
to the rear and hold it there. With your right hand, grasp the bolt and remove it by lifting the front
of it first, then lifting it out. Remove the bolt handle through the ejection port.
- Using a 5/32" Allen wrench, remove the two socket head screws that attach the V-block
to the front of the receiver. The V-block clamps the barrel to the receiver via
an undercut lug in the bottom of the barrel AND MUST BE REMOVED!
Assembly is the reverse of disassembly.
You are now ready to install the AccuTec 10/22® Barrel Pusher.
WARNING: Do not substitute any foreign object for the Ruger-supplied trigger guard cross pins! Do not use nails, punches, drill bits or other foreign objects in place of the original Ruger supplied pins as this could lead to distortion of the receiver cross pin holes and is not covered under any warranty, expressed or implied.
USING THE ACCUTEC BARREL PUSHER
Please familiarize yourself with the components of the AccuTec 10/22® Barrel Pusher by looking at this photo -
Adjust your Barrel Pusher like the one shown, where the front edge of the Nylon Pusher is about 3/8ths of an inch behind the end of the Upper Guide Rod.
- Position the tool in the receiver by placing the end of the Upper Guide Rod into the magazine
retention hole located in the forward portion of the receiver.
- Take one of the trigger guard cross pins that were removed during disassembly and
reinstall it in the FORWARD receiver cross pin hole.
When installed correctly, it will look like this:
- Now, slide the Pusher Bar forward until the Nylon Pusher contacts the rear of the barrel.
- Hand tighten the Pusher Bolt against the pusher bar, making sure that the end of the bolt seats
inside the hole in the bar. Verify that the cross pin is still centered in the receiver.
You are now ready to remove the barrel.
- Place the barreled receiver on a flat, padded surface. Double check to make sure the v-block has
been removed as well as any screws that may tie the barrel to a cantilevered scope base.
- Using a ½" wrench (or ideally a ratchet with a 3" extension), begin turning the pusher bolt clockwise.
Continue to turn until the barrel is freed from the receiver.

The art of shooting and marksmanship has evolved significantly over the years, with firearm technology and accessories playing a vital role in enhancing accuracy and target acquisition. Among these accessories, firearm attachments have emerged as crucial tools that aid shooters in achieving optimal aiming and precision when engaging targets. Whether it’s for personal defense, competitive shooting, or tactical operations, understanding the importance of firearm attachments is essential for every responsible gun owner and professional.
- Optics and Scopes
One of the most fundamental firearm attachments for aiming and target acquisition is optics or scopes. These devices provide shooters with a magnified view of their target, allowing for precise engagement at various distances. Scopes come in different magnification levels, reticle styles, and lens coatings, catering to specific shooting applications.
Red dot sights, holographic sights, and reflex sights are also popular optical attachments that enable rapid target acquisition and improved accuracy in close-quarters and dynamic shooting scenarios. They offer a parallax-free aiming point, eliminating the need to align the shooter’s eye perfectly with the sight’s center, resulting in faster and more intuitive shooting. Now you can buy holographic sights and other optics online from Palmetto State Armory at the best prices.
- Laser Sights
Laser sights are another critical attachment that enhances aiming and target acquisition. These compact devices project a laser beam onto the target, providing an additional aiming reference point. Laser sights are particularly useful in low-light conditions or when shooters must engage threats from unconventional shooting positions.
Additionally, the presence of a laser on a firearm can serve as a powerful deterrent, potentially discouraging potential threats from escalating a situation. Laser sights are commonly used by law enforcement, military personnel, and concealed carry permit holders.
In low-light or dark environments, identifying and acquiring targets can be extremely challenging. This is where firearm-mounted flashlights come into play. A flashlight attachment not only illuminates the target but also provides better situational awareness for the shooter.
By combining a flashlight with other firearm attachments like optics or laser sights, shooters can effectively engage targets with increased accuracy while maintaining awareness of their surroundings. This combination is particularly valuable in home defense scenarios and law enforcement operations.
Firearm foregrips, also known as vertical grips, are attachments designed to be mounted on the underside of the firearm’s handguard or forend. These accessories enhance stability and control during shooting, resulting in improved accuracy and target acquisition.
By providing a forward point of contact for the non-firing hand, foregrips help reduce muzzle rise and recoil, allowing shooters to maintain a consistent point of aim. This stability is especially beneficial during rapid-fire sequences and sustained engagements.
For shooters who engage targets from a stationary position or over long distances, bipods are indispensable attachments. These adjustable stands attach to the firearm’s forend and provide a stable platform for the gun, reducing shooter fatigue and improving accuracy during extended shooting sessions.
Bipods are commonly used by precision rifle shooters, hunters, and military snipers. They enable shooters to maintain a steady aim and make precise shots with ease, even in challenging environmental conditions.
Firearm attachments play a crucial role in enhancing aiming and target acquisition, empowering shooters to achieve greater accuracy and effectiveness. Whether it’s optics and scopes for magnified precision, laser sights for rapid target acquisition, flashlights for low-light engagements, foregrips for improved stability, or bipods for long-range shooting, each attachment serves a specific purpose in the shooter’s toolkit.
It is important for firearm owners to understand the capabilities and limitations of these attachments and train regularly to harness their full potential responsibly. When used correctly and ethically, firearm attachments can significantly contribute to safer shooting practices and more successful outcomes in various shooting applications.
