On Writing Fiction: How To Use A Nail Gun Like A Firearm
Disclaimer: Your vision will thank you not to try this at home.
50 60 Ways to Murder Your Fictional Characters is full of terrific prompts to do just that (download it here). Some venture off the beaten path (bamboo plants!) while others take a trip into the garage for inspiration. Entry #57 caught my eye, and I wanted to explore it a little further. Here it is:
57. Nail gun: Easy to use. Easy to carry. Effective if your killer is a good shot. Best to aim for the throat, abdomen, kidneys, etc.
That got me thinking. How does a nail gun compare to a “regular” gun? Could one be used to effectively shoot another fictional character?
Considerations for Characters Using Nail Guns as Weapons in Fiction
Just like firearms, nail guns aren’t all created in the same way. Along with their ammunition (nails), nail guns are designed for different purposes. That means there are different types that use a variety of methods to drive the nail home.
Briefly, nail guns that require a lot of force or extended use are fed by a separate air compressor, which means the character using it can’t wander far. This pneumatic set up is the most popular kind of nail gun, but not the only one. Lighter tasks can be accomplished without an air compressor, using electromagnets or internal combustion, giving the character free rein.
In any case, identify the type of nail gun first. It’ll determine the rest.
Next comes the weight. Nail guns are heavy. How long will the nail gun be in use? Can the character actually lift the nail gun long enough to use it effectively? These things don’t come with sights, so it’s unlikely anything under a few shots will get the job done, even for experienced characters.
The final consideration is the safety. Nail guns come with a sliding safety that must be pressed or held back for it to function. If the nail gun is being fired over a distance, that means the character must use two hands: one to hold the safety back and one to fire. One-handed shots are out.

How Nail Guns Compare to Firearms
In order to put things into context, I’m going to make some generalizations. I realize nail guns come in a variety of set ups that impact their performance, and some readers might disagree with my conclusions. That’s fine. I’m only looking to do a base comparison.
The first step is to identify how hard a fired nail hits a target over a distance. In the firearms world, this is referred to generally (and debatably) as “stopping power” and is expressed in foot-pounds. The higher the foot-pounds, the greater the “stopping power,” since more energy is transferred into the target from the projectile.
The question then is, how much stopping power does a nail fired over a distance from a nail gun carry, and how does that compare to a projectile from a firearm?
Fortunately, there’s an easy way to calculate foot-pounds (mass x velocity squared x .5). All you need is the mass of the projectile and the velocity at which it travels. That means I need a calculator, a chronograph, a scale and a nail gun. Any takers out there? No? Well, that’s what Youtube is for:
Feel free to watch the entire video, but there are only a few pieces of information to cull:
- The pneumatic nail gun recorded the fastest velocity with 2 3/8-inch nails, at 134 feet per second.
- The velocity decreased with each consecutive shot as the pneumatic nail gun recharged, meaning stopping power would also decrease. The first shot in a series is therefore the most powerful.
- The guy cites 50 yards as the maximum distance the nail traveled.
- At only a few feet away, nails bounced off cardboard (spoiler alert).
- “I don’t think the nail gun is a very good self-defense tool,” the guy says. (spoiler alert again, I need to stop doing that)
Let’s assume the character uses 2 3/8-inch nails that travel 134 feet per second. The next step is to find out how much one nail weighs. Although materials carry different weights, I found these stainless steel 2 3/8-inch nails over at, appropriately enough, Nail Gun Depot. A pack of 1,000 nails weighs eight pounds. That means one nail weighs roughly 3.6 grams.
Now it’s as easy as plugging in 134 feet per second and 3.6 grams into this energy calculator. The result is (drumroll, please)…
How Does 2.227 Foot-Pounds Compare to a Bullet?
What does this 2.227 figure mean? Is that more or less than a bullet?
There’s no such thing as an “average bullet,” but I’ll go ahead and choose a .22 caliber for comparison, which is small yet still popular with handguns. I checked the ballistics tables in my copy of the Gun Digest 2015 (highly recommended, by the way) and conservatively I’m seeing around 100 foot-pounds on average for low-velocity .22’s at the muzzle (or moment that it’s fired). That halves when the bullet is out at 100 yards, or twice the quoted distance of the nail in the video. (Keep in mind the .22 is the primo caliber for squirrels, rabbits and other small game.)
In short, you could say a nail fired from a nail gun carries 1/50 of the power of a .22 caliber bullet fired from a handgun. That fraction only grows weaker the farther out the nail gets. At 50 yards, I imagine it’s like getting hit by a handful of grass.
Although they should still be used with caution and respect, nail guns are no substitute for a proper firearm. If a character really wants to wreck someone’s day with one, get up close and personal. Treat the recipient like a piece of wood.
That’s not to discount the nail gun’s use as a deterrent. Would I want to be shot by one? Nope. I’d book it out of there. Maybe that’s a better purpose for fiction.
If you still want to go down this route, consider it’ll be hard to be accurate. Nail guns aren’t precision “reach out and touch someone” tools. They fall more into the “spray and pray” category. As Coletta points out in her tip, aim for the most vulnerable areas on a character. Even at only 2.227 foot-pounds of energy, a nail to the eye will leave a mark.

Well in general, I don't think that would be too hard to accomplish. A true weaponsmith could certainly device the mechanics to fit into the back of Froggy. There have been far smaller working firearms made in history, so that shouldn't be too big of a problem.
Though still not shooting bullets, I'm tinkering with a motorized version, which will be basically fully functional in the boundaries of a prop including a wrist trigger, but due to lack of time and many projects of higher priority it will be a long time before I get it done.
Maybe a wrist trigger, similar to Spiderman's web canisters, would be practical, yet concealable enough to operate the firing mechanism? Or would it be more like Buzz Lightyear, where you still have to reach over with you other hand, and push a button?
Both. The mechanics I developed for the functional version has two steps: The main trigger is a wrist trigger, though not like spideys moving the hand up (that would be dumb, unless you want to shoot of your own fingers), but down (remember Jango/Boba Fett shooting their wrist gadgets?). But as such wrist triggers have one major handicap, meaning they would constantly be triggered if you do that handmovement, which again isn't practically, I set a second circuit, that basically arms the main trigger, which is the standard pistol trigger on Froggies back. So basically if you want to shoot you pull once the trigger on the Froggies back with the other hand to unlock the weapon after that, you are free to shoot by dropping your hand, activating the motor turning the barrel whenever you want to, until you safeguard the weapon again by pulling Froggies back trigger a second time.
However if the upgrades work out, it will be: a drive will turn the drum and barrels triggered via wrist movement and light fx will be added as well. Of course it still won't fire any bullets (see discussions below).
Materials used: genuine leather, steel, brass, plastic, glass, 2-component sculpting putty and lots of sweat..
You may have trouble covering it with your sleeve lol. It looks like something you'd see in an Assassins' Creed/Sherlock Holmes mashup. Congrats on the DD, by the way. I guess the next step is to make it collapsible.

Today, scientists are close to creating a gamma ray laser gun for use in military and other areas. Here's a quote from the article.
"The difference in the power available from a gamma-ray laser compared to a normal laser is the same as the difference between a nuclear explosion and a chemical explosion," said Dr David Cassidy of the University of California, Riverside, and one of the authors of the paper.
"It would have an incredibly high power density."

Can the Air Force Be Reformed?
June 30, 2008
During the tenure of Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld, the Army was the military service in the doghouse. Under his successor, Robert Gates, it appears to be the Air Force. Recently, Secretary Gates took the unprecedented step of firing the top civilian and military leaders of the service for its snafus with nuclear weapons and components. And then there was also the Air Force’s favoritism in contracting and its failure to be a team player in the counterinsurgency wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Despite the Secretary’s dramatic actions, vested interests will probably thwart his desire to reform the service.
Since the Vietnam War, the “essence” of the Air Force has been promoting and flying high performance tactical fighter aircraft. The service’s concentration on heavy bombers that could deliver nuclear weapons waned as the Cold War dragged on, and its attention to nuclear delivery systems fell into oblivion after the Berlin Wall fell. The Air Force’s de-emphasis of its nuclear mission is in part responsible for bomber crews carrying nuclear weapons across the country without knowing it and mistakenly sending fuses for nuclear weapons to Taiwan. Yet despite the firings, and most likely to compensate the Air Force for them, Secretary Gates promised to reward failure by increasing the service’s budget for nuclear activities.
Also much to Secretary Gates’s stated annoyance, the service has been neglecting remotely piloted surveillance drones, which have proven invaluable in the counterinsurgency wars being waged in Iraq and Afghanistan. It has also shortchanged the mission of transporting troops, equipment, fuel, and food for ground troops in such theaters, while lobbying to buy more F-22 stealth fighters to counter future possible adversaries. The drones are neglected because they don’t require pilots—the people who run the Air Force. Resembling giant toy airplanes, they are piloted remotely using a joystick.
The transport mission is shortchanged because cargo planes are much less sexy to fly than new high tech fighter jets. The problem is that the Air Force, even without having bought any F-22s, has existing aircraft, pilots, and weapons that, when used together, would vastly dominate any future conventional opponent, including China, India, or Russia. The F-22 was originally designed during the Cold War to counter Soviet fighters that were never fielded.
Another problem is that unmanned surveillance drones don’t cost as much as high tech fighters. In addition to pilots being a powerful interest group within the service, the military-industrial-congressional complex would probably thwart an increased emphasis on drones even if the pilots didn’t. Lucrative contracts on the F-22, which usually go to industrial concerns heavily dependent on defense business, have kept the unneeded fighter alive, at the expense of increased funding for badly needed drones. Members of Congress who have such defense industries in their districts and states usually become powerful members of congressional committees that authorize and appropriate funds for such projects.
Firing the civilian and military leaders of the service with only 7 months to go in the Bush administration will do virtually nothing to bust the vested interests that have led to the present state of affairs. Although the new military chief will stay on into the next administration and is, for once, a military transport person, the fighter mafia, because of its glamour, is still likely to remain in control of the service. Supporting losing counterinsurgencies on the ground will never be as alluring as dreams of dogfights with non-existent enemy superfighters.
The one thing that could be done to at least loosen the grip of the military-industrial-congressional complex is to require the Air Force to drop excessively unique military specifications for components of weapon systems and instead use commercial components or slight variations thereof. Letting commercial non-defense companies—which are not part of the dedicated defense industry dependent on government largesse—compete for defense subcontracts would lessen the pressure to buy unneeded weapon systems. If subcontractors had commercial business to fall back on when defense procurement was slow, there would be less pressure for the Air Force and Congress to buy unneeded systems to keep the welfare queens of the dedicated defense subcontracting industry aloft.
However, this reform, even if adopted, would have effect only in the long-term. Thus, despite the secretary’s dramatic personnel changes, don’t expect to see a different Air Force soon.

The Enhancement of Target Localization Using Ship-Borne Electro-Optical Stabilized Platform
Electro-optical (EO) stabilized platforms have been widely used for surveillance and reconnaissance on various types of vehicles, from surface ships to unmanned air vehicles (UAVs). EO stabilized platforms usually consist of an assembly of structure, bearings, and motors called gimbals in which a gyroscope is installed. EO elements such as a CCD camera and IR camera, are mounted to a gimbal, which has a range of motion in elevation and azimuth and can designate and track a target. In addition, a laser range finder (LRF) can be added to the gimbal in order to acquire the precise slant range from the platform to the target. Recently, a versatile functionality of target localization is needed in order to cooperate with weapon systems that are mounted on the same platform. The target information, such as its location or velocity, needed to be more accurate. The accuracy of the target information depends on diverse component errors and alignment errors of each component. Specially, the type of moving platform can affect the accuracy of the target information. In the case of flying platforms, or UAVs, the target location error can be increased with altitude so it is important to measure altitude as precisely as possible. In the case of surface ships, target location error can be increased with obliqueness of the elevation angle of the gimbal since the altitude of the EO stabilized platform is supposed to be relatively low. The farther the slant ranges from the surface ship to the target, the more extreme the obliqueness of the elevation angle. This can hamper the precise acquisition of the target information. So far, there have been many studies on EO stabilized platforms of flying vehicles. However, few researchers have focused on ship-borne EO stabilized platforms of the surface ship. In this paper, we deal with a target localization method when an EO stabilized platform is located on the mast of a surface ship. Especially, we need to overcome the limitation caused by the obliqueness of the elevation angle of the gimbal. We introduce a well-known approach for target localization using Unscented Kalman Filter (UKF) and present the problem definition showing the above-mentioned limitation. Finally, we want to show the effectiveness of the approach that will be demonstrated through computer simulations.

My favorite thing about reading fantasy narratives has always been the weaponry. What weird and wonderful weapons will our authors place in their heroines’ hands? This week, I’m providing a list of some historically accurate weapons—and some not-so-historically-accurate ways in which women in fantasy use them.
As a young geek, I always wanted to play the boy character in whatever childish drama we were reenacting. Why? Boys got to play with swords! So, my sister would put on a princess dress and I would don armor and a sword and defend her to the death. Regrettably, most historical weapons, due to their sheer size and weight, were meant for men. What weapons, then, do we see our favorite fantasy heroines wielding? Just in case her knight in shining armor is busy at another castle, or, shockingly, she doesn’t want to wait for a man to save the day, here are some weapons used by the women of fantasy!
When most people hear the word bow, they immediately picture the longbow. And while the bow is a unisex weapon, the longbow, due to its large construction and the amount of power required to draw it, would be a poor choice for the majority of female warriors. But the composite bow, which is made of several different materials instead of one or two large pieces of wood, might just be what an aspiring lady-archer needs. These layered materials usually included horn, wood and sinew. The strips of horn formed the belly of the bow, closest to the archer, with sinew used for the back and a wooden core sandwiched between the two. By exploiting the contrasting properties of these materials, bows of relatively small size achieved remarkable strength and power. In Jacqueline Carey’s Naamah’s Kiss, Moirin mac Fainche, a half-breed royal descendant and green-eyed witch, has just such a bow.
A dagger is more than a glorified knife. It refers to a specific type of short weapon, usually with a double-edged blade. However, what the modern reader would consider short is relative. Most dagger blades are between 10 and 12 inches in length. So, while our armor-clad warrior princesses can casually carry these around like their male counterparts, what about the women in fantasy that don’t wear trousers? As a fantasy writer, I think it’s much more entertaining to consider what sort of weapons our dress-wearing ladies would utilize. Where would she put her dagger, for instance? She can’t just strap it around the waist of her very elaborate dress, complete with corset and various other accoutrements. Still, there’s nothing quite like a shiny knife to deter would-be ravishers in the night. So, what is the solution?
The Sgian Dubh
The sgian dubh, or skean dhu, is a small, single-edged knife traditionally worn in the sock as part of Scottish Highland dress. It’s very similar to a boot knife, but shorter, only three to four inches long. Although much smaller than a traditional dagger, the same problem presents itself: where to put it? Since knee socks and ball gowns tend to clash, most fantasy ladies would conceal the knife in a thigh sheath that is reached through a hidden slit in the dress. In Mercedes Lackey’s Arrow’s Flight, Talia uses this technique to arm herself during her first official ceremony as Queen’s Own Herald.
Hidden weapons seem to be a very fashionable accessory for ladies in fantasy. And so we come to my personal favorite—the stiletto. No, I’m not talking about the shoe. A stiletto is a long, thin blade with three to four sides. It narrows to a wicked point that was often used to pierce mail and pass through gaps in plate armor. Sometimes known as the “assassin’s weapon” because it is so very easy to conceal, the stiletto can be disguised in the bones of a corset. Some elaborately decorated stilettos are even used as bodkins.
Despite modern versions of historical weaponry making them seem light and portable, swords are big and heavy. Two of the most common variants, broadswords and hand-and-a-half swords, are meant to be wielded by huge men in plate armor. And unlike my favorite Lady Knight, Alanna of Trebond, not every fantasy girl is lucky enough to find a magical sword that “was thinner than a broadsword, and lighter, with a broadsword’s double edge.” So, what kinds of swords would our female swashbucklers wield?
Knowing how large most regular swords are, someone inevitably asks: what about the smallsword? It’s just a smaller sword, right? Sadly, no. The image conjured by the word smallsword is that of Sting from The Hobbit—a beautiful, but proportionally smaller, sword. Somewhat of a misnomer, a smallsword is actually a type of rapier developed in the 17th century as a gentleman’s status symbol and dueling weapon. Around 30 inches long and intended solely for thrusting, the smallsword typically had a stiff triangular blade, without sharpened edges. And unless one is a master fencer, it is of little use in our female hero’s self-defense.
So, what’s our heroine to do when she’s being confronted by a sword-swinging attacker? This might be the moment to go find that knight-errant composing sonnets to her below the tower. If, however, she would prefer to defend her own honor, then her sgian dubh is of almost no use against a sword. It is not intended as a throwing knife, so even if she throws it, she will most likely miss. What she needs is a dirk. Also of Scottish origin, the dirk is what a smallsword should be—a double-edged weapon halfway between a dagger and sword. It provides the reach of a longer weapon without the weight. It would seem Diana Gabaldon, author of Outlander, would agree. Her main character, Claire Beauchamp, occasionally wields a dirk.
Which fantasy weapon are you most eager to try? If you were writing a fantasy story, what type of weapons would your characters use? Stay tuned for my upcoming article about weapons in science fiction.

- 7 Future Implications and Potential Outcomes
In today’s uncertain geopolitical landscape, countries around the world are recognizing the importance of self-sufficiency when it comes to weapon production. Ukraine, in particular, has taken this concept to heart, understanding that relying on imported weaponry can leave a nation vulnerable to external pressures and limitations. By investing in domestic weapons manufacturing, Ukraine is taking a proactive approach to enhance its defense capabilities and ensure its sovereignty. This strategic move not only boosts the country’s economy but also strengthens its position on the global stage.
Ukraine’s decision to ramp up spending on pulitoto homemade weapons is rooted in the need for self-reliance. By reducing its dependence on external suppliers, the country can mitigate the risk of potential disruptions caused by political tensions or economic constraints. Additionally, investing in domestic production allows Ukraine to have more control over the development and maintenance of its defense industry, ensuring the availability of weapons and equipment tailored to its specific needs.
Moreover, self-sufficiency in weapon production has long-term benefits for Ukraine’s economy. By investing in the manufacturing sector, the country creates jobs, stimulates economic growth, and enhances its technological capabilities. The defense industry, in particular, has the potential to drive innovation and attract foreign investments, further bolstering Ukraine’s economic resilience.
Overall, the decision to prioritize self-sufficiency in weapon production reflects Ukraine’s commitment to its own survival and underscores the importance of a strong defense industry in today’s world. By investing in domestic weapons manufacturing, Ukraine is not only safeguarding its sovereignty but also positioning itself as a self-reliant force to be reckoned with.
Ukraine’s Investment in Domestic Weapons Manufacturing
In recent years, Ukraine has significantly increased its investment in domestic weapons manufacturing as part of its strategy to enhance its defense capabilities. This move comes in response to escalating tensions with Russia and the need to reduce reliance on imported weaponry. By investing in domestic production, Ukraine aims to strengthen its defense industry, stimulate its economy, and ensure its long-term security.
One of the key areas of investment for Ukraine has been in the modernization and expansion of its existing defense facilities. The country has allocated substantial funds to upgrade its manufacturing capabilities, improve infrastructure, and acquire advanced technologies. This investment not only improves the efficiency and productivity of Ukraine’s defense industry but also lays the foundation for future advancements in weapon production.
Additionally, Ukraine has focused on developing strategic partnerships with other countries to enhance its domestic manufacturing capabilities. By collaborating with international defense companies, Ukraine gains access to advanced technologies, expertise, and global markets. These partnerships not only contribute to the growth of Ukraine’s defense industry but also foster international cooperation and support.
Furthermore, Ukraine has been investing in research and development to foster innovation within its defense sector. By encouraging scientific advancements and technological breakthroughs, the country aims to stay at the forefront of weapon production, ensuring that its homemade weapons are technologically advanced and competitive on the global stage.
Overall, Ukraine’s investment in domestic weapons manufacturing is a critical step in strengthening its defense capabilities and asserting its sovereignty. By focusing on modernization, international partnerships, and innovation, Ukraine is positioning itself as a self-sufficient force capable of defending its interests.
Advantages of Homemade Weapons for Ukraine
Investing in homemade weapons provides Ukraine with several advantages that contribute to its defense capabilities and national security. By relying less on imported weaponry and prioritizing domestic production, Ukraine can tailor its weapons to its specific needs, ensuring that they are optimized for its unique operating conditions.
One of the key advantages of homemade weapons is the ability to customize and adapt them to suit Ukraine’s requirements. By manufacturing weapons domestically, the country has greater control over the design, production, and maintenance processes. This allows for faster modifications and upgrades, ensuring that Ukraine’s weapons remain effective and relevant in an ever-changing security environment.
Moreover, homemade weapons provide Ukraine with a higher level of operational security. By reducing reliance on external suppliers, the country minimizes the risk of potential vulnerabilities, such as embargoes or supply disruptions. This self-sufficiency allows Ukraine to maintain a constant supply of weapons and equipment, ensuring its readiness and responsiveness in times of crisis.
Additionally, investing in homemade weapons stimulates Ukraine’s defense industry and boosts its economy. By supporting local manufacturers, the country creates jobs, fosters technological advancements, and generates revenue through exports. This economic growth not only strengthens Ukraine’s overall resilience but also contributes to its long-term development and stability.
Furthermore, homemade weapons can be more cost-effective for Ukraine in the long run. While the initial investment in domestic production may be significant, over time, the country can save on procurement costs and reduce its reliance on expensive imports. This financial independence allows Ukraine to allocate resources to other critical areas, such as infrastructure development or social welfare.
In conclusion, the advantages of homemade weapons for Ukraine are numerous. By customizing its weapons, enhancing operational security, stimulating its defense industry, and achieving cost-effectiveness, Ukraine ensures its self-sufficiency and strengthens its overall defense capabilities.
Challenges and Limitations of Domestic Weapon Production
While investing in domestic weapon production offers numerous advantages, Ukraine also faces certain challenges and limitations in its pursuit of self-sufficiency. Overcoming these obstacles is crucial to ensuring the success and effectiveness of the country’s defense industry.
One of the main challenges is the need for significant investment in infrastructure and technology. Building and modernizing manufacturing facilities, acquiring advanced machinery, and developing expertise require substantial financial resources. Ukraine must allocate sufficient funding to create a robust and competitive defense industry capable of meeting its domestic needs and international standards.
Additionally, Ukraine faces the challenge of acquiring specialized knowledge and expertise in weapon production. Developing advanced weapon systems requires a highly skilled workforce with expertise in various engineering and technological fields. Ukraine must invest in education and training programs to nurture a talented pool of professionals who can contribute to the growth and innovation of its defense industry.
Furthermore, Ukraine’s defense industry must comply with international standards and regulations to ensure the quality and safety of its homemade weapons. Achieving certification and meeting export requirements can be complex and time-consuming. Ukraine must invest in quality control mechanisms, establish transparent procedures, and demonstrate compliance with international norms to gain the trust and confidence of potential customers and partners.
Moreover, the rapid advancement of technology poses both opportunities and challenges for Ukraine’s defense industry. While technological innovations can enhance weapon capabilities, they also require constant adaptation and investment to stay ahead of the curve. Ukraine must continuously invest in research and development to keep pace with emerging technologies and maintain its competitive edge.
Despite these challenges, Ukraine has demonstrated its determination to overcome limitations and develop a thriving defense industry. By addressing infrastructure needs, investing in education and training, ensuring compliance with international standards, and embracing technological advancements, Ukraine can overcome these challenges and achieve its goal of self-sufficiency in weapon production.
The Impact of Ukraine’s Increased Spending on Homemade Weapons
Ukraine’s decision to increase spending on homemade weapons has significant implications for its defense capabilities, national security, and overall geopolitical landscape. This strategic move not only strengthens Ukraine’s position against Russian aggression but also has broader implications on regional stability and international relations.
First and foremost, increased spending on homemade weapons enhances Ukraine’s deterrence capabilities. By investing in a robust defense industry, the country demonstrates its willingness and ability to defend itself against external threats. This serves as a deterrent to potential aggressors and sends a strong message that Ukraine is prepared to protect its sovereignty at all costs.
Furthermore, Ukraine’s investment in domestic weapon production has the potential to shift the balance of power in the region. By reducing its reliance on imported weaponry, Ukraine becomes less susceptible to external pressures and limitations. This increased self-sufficiency contributes to a more stable and secure region, as countries become more capable of defending their interests and deterring potential aggressors.
Moreover, Ukraine’s commitment to homemade weapons sets an example for other nations facing similar challenges. By showcasing its ability to adapt and innovate, Ukraine inspires other countries to invest in their own defense industries and prioritize self-sufficiency. This ripple effect can lead to a more balanced and secure global defense landscape, with nations taking greater responsibility for their own security.
Additionally, Ukraine’s increased spending on homemade weapons has geopolitical implications. It sends a clear signal to Russia and other potential aggressors that Ukraine is not to be underestimated. This assertion of strength and determination can influence decision-making at the international level, potentially shaping diplomatic negotiations and conflict resolution efforts.
Overall, the impact of Ukraine’s increased spending on homemade weapons extends beyond its immediate defense capabilities. It reinforces Ukraine’s commitment to safeguarding its sovereignty, contributes to regional stability, sets an example for other nations, and influences the geopolitical landscape. By prioritizing self-sufficiency, Ukraine is positioning itself as a key player in the global defense arena.
Comparison with Russia’s Military Capabilities
As Ukraine ramps up spending on homemade weapons, it is essential to compare its defense capabilities with those of its neighbor, Russia. Understanding the relative strengths and weaknesses of each country’s military is crucial in assessing the effectiveness of Ukraine’s strategic move towards self-sufficiency.
Russia’s military capabilities are undoubtedly formidable, with significant investments in advanced weaponry, modernization programs, and a well-established defense industry. The country boasts a large and well-trained military force, capable of projecting power in the region and beyond. Russia’s military dominance in the region has been evident in its recent actions, including the annexation of Crimea and its intervention in Eastern Ukraine.
In contrast, Ukraine’s defense capabilities have historically been more limited. The country has faced numerous challenges in modernizing its armed forces and developing a robust defense industry. However, Ukraine’s increased spending on homemade weapons signifies a shift towards greater self-sufficiency and a more capable defense force.
While Ukraine may not match Russia’s military might in terms of sheer numbers or advanced technologies, its determination to defend itself and invest in its defense industry should not be underestimated. Ukraine has demonstrated its ability to adapt and innovate, leveraging its limited resources to develop homemade weapons tailored to its specific needs.
Moreover, Ukraine’s strategic location and the ongoing support it receives from international partners contribute to its overall defense capabilities. The country benefits from assistance programs, military training, and intelligence sharing, which enhance its readiness and responsiveness. Additionally, Ukraine’s commitment to NATO integration further strengthens its defense capabilities through collective security and cooperation.
In conclusion, while Russia’s military capabilities may surpass those of Ukraine, the latter’s increased investment in homemade weapons and its commitment to self-sufficiency demonstrate its determination to defend its sovereignty. Ukraine’s strategic move towards greater autonomy in weapon production signifies its willingness to adapt, innovate, and assert its presence in the face of Russian aggression.
International Reactions and Support for Ukraine’s Weapon Production Efforts
Ukraine’s decision to ramp up spending on homemade weapons has garnered international attention and evoked various reactions from countries around the world. While the conflict in Eastern Ukraine remains a highly sensitive and politically charged issue, several nations have expressed support for Ukraine’s weapon production efforts, recognizing the country’s right to defend itself.
A significant number of Western countries, including the United States and European Union member states, have been vocal in their support for Ukraine’s defense capabilities. These nations have provided financial assistance, military aid, and training to help Ukraine modernize its armed forces and develop its defense industry. The support from these countries underscores the importance of Ukraine’s sovereignty and the need to counter Russian aggression.
Furthermore, Ukraine’s weapon production efforts have garnered support from countries that share similar security concerns. Nations located in Eastern Europe, such as Poland and the Baltic states, have been particularly supportive of Ukraine’s self-sufficiency in weapon production. They see Ukraine’s commitment to defense as a crucial element in regional stability and deterring potential aggression.
Moreover, international organizations, such as NATO, have expressed their support for Ukraine’s weapon production efforts. NATO’s assistance programs, military training, and intelligence sharing initiatives have helped Ukraine enhance its defense capabilities and strengthen its overall security. The alliance recognizes the importance of Ukraine’s resilience and self-sufficiency in ensuring stability in the region.
However, it is important to note that not all countries have been supportive of Ukraine’s weapon production efforts. Russia, in particular, views Ukraine’s attempts to bolster its defense industry as a threat to its own interests. Russia has been critical of Ukraine’s partnerships with Western countries and has accused Ukraine of militarization. This differing perspective reflects the ongoing tensions between the two nations and the complex dynamics at play in the region.
In conclusion, Ukraine’s weapon production efforts have received significant support from Western countries, Eastern European nations, and international organizations. This support reflects the recognition of Ukraine’s right to defend itself and the importance of a strong defense industry in maintaining regional stability. However, it is essential to navigate the geopolitical complexities and address differing perspectives to ensure a peaceful resolution to the conflict.
Future Implications and Potential Outcomes
The decision to ramp up spending on homemade weapons has far-reaching implications for Ukraine’s future and the resolution of the conflict with Russia. This strategic move not only strengthens Ukraine’s defense capabilities but also has the potential to shape the geopolitical landscape in the region and beyond.
One possible outcome is an escalation of the conflict between Ukraine and Russia. As Ukraine becomes more self-sufficient in weapon production, Russia may perceive this as a threat to its own interests and respond aggressively. This could lead to an intensification of hostilities, further destabilizing the region and increasing the humanitarian toll.
However, there is also a possibility that Ukraine’s increased investment in homemade weapons could deter further aggression from Russia. By demonstrating its determination to defend itself, Ukraine may discourage Russia from escalating the conflict and force a diplomatic resolution. This outcome would contribute to regional stability and potentially open the door for peaceful negotiations.
Furthermore, Ukraine’s commitment to self-sufficiency in weapon production may inspire other countries facing similar security challenges to invest in their own defense industries. This ripple effect could lead to a more balanced global defense landscape, with nations taking greater responsibility for their own security and reducing their dependence on external suppliers.
Moreover, Ukraine’s weapon production efforts have the potential to contribute to the country’s economic development. By stimulating the defense industry, creating jobs, and attracting foreign investments, Ukraine can diversify its economy and reduce its dependence on other sectors. This economic resilience would further strengthen Ukraine’s overall stability and contribute to its long-term development.

Lithic Projectile Points: A success Story
This is 7 cm long Ounanian Point, found at Erg Tit in Algeria. Tit today is a small village in the commune of Tamanrasset, in Tamanrasset District. Certainly a successful projectile point from the local Epipaleolithic. More about Ounanian Points-see here: 1541 , and here 1544 .
Lithic projectile points crush, slice and generally disrupt a greater volume of tissue than do wood-tipped missiles (Sisk and Shea 2009, 2011), which made them such a successful innovation since their first appearance during the MSA of South Africa, roughly at 80-70 k.a. BP.
The aim of producing projectile points is the effective hurting and killing of animals and other humans. The depth of penetration into the target is mainly influenced by the mass-velocity relationship, the tip cross-sectional perimeter (TCSP), and the tip angle .
The tip cross-sectional area (TCSA) and the tip cross-sectional perimeter (TCSP) are widely used to gather quantified information about projectile points (definition: see external links).
Both TCSA and TCSP show a direct correlation with the width and thickness of the projectile. TCSA and TCSP do not allow to proof, that a tool was used as projectile, but they allow to suggest what kind of launching system (spear, dart, arrow) fits to the presumed projectile. In this post the discussion is limited to spear throwers propelling a dart and to bow and arrow systems.
From the physical point of view, there are two important factors that influence penetration of a projectile: kinetic energy and linear momentum. Both kinetic energy (K) and linear momentum (P) depend on mass (m) and speed (v).
Kinetic energy is the energy associated with the motion. The kinetic energy of an object is directly proportional to the square of its speed (K = (0,5) x mv2).
Linear momentum is a vector quantity describing that the projectile is holding its trajectory or more correctly describes the targeted amount of mass in motion (P = mv).
Therefore, the velocity of a projectile is an important measure of weapon performance because velocity directly affects a projectile’s range, momentum, and kinetic energy, and thus its impact on the target and killing efficiency.
There is no ideal launching system for all situations-the decision of using a spear thrower or a bow–if you have both – depends on the target pray. Some large game hunting societies preferred the use of a dart propelled by a spear thrower.
“Paleoindians who used the weapon to hunt very large animals, with the intent of penetrating the body and killing with hemorrhaging, would have needed heavy darts to reach adequate levels of kinetic energy and momentum to be lethal. Experiments on elephant carcasses support this “(Whittaker et al. 2017)
Maximal width is one way of approaching past projectile weaponry. There is general agreement, that lethality of projectiles is greatly enhanced by arming them with broad, sharp points.
Point symmetry is an important determinant of flight-path stability and ensures uniform distribution of impact forces on the target (Beckhoff 1966).
Tip angles: In general angles of 30–40° are suggested to be the ideal according ballistic theory.
Tanging: An axial tang may theoretically provide the most stable hafting, but specific arrangements may have compensated for the inherent asymmetry of non-axial points, which are even more common during Prehistory. Because hafting devices have usually not survived in the record-the appearance of such arrangements can only experimentally simulated.
Durability: An important point fur the hunter is the durability of his hunting system. Thin lithic points are easily fractured, therefore a thicker-based, more conical, point is better at resisting compressive forces and thus impact fracture.
Bifacial Points vs. Unifacial Points: Bifacial points allow easier hafting, deeper penetration and a multi-purpose use, e.g. as knifes.
Serration: If used as an arrowhead, serrated projectiles are supposed to cause increased hemorrhage of the prey. This seems reasonable, but to my knowledge this assumption has not been experimentally evaluated till now.

It never ceases to amaze me at how proficient humans are at killing; be it plants, animals, or themselves.
Since that hairy-knuckled ancestor of yours climbed out of the tree on the African savannah and took to inhabiting those caves uptown, he’s honed his killing skills to a fine razor’s edge. And as good as humans are at killing, with the help of technology, there’s even more room for improvement.
Figuring out how to pack a processor and other electronics into a machine gun bullet has been a challenge for engineers at Sandia National Laboratories, so weapons experts say the miniature guidance system the lab has developed is a breakthrough.
Three years in the making, the bullet prototype represents another step toward a next-generation battlefield that scientists and experts expect to be saturated with technology and information.
Oooh, boy! A guided .50 caliber bullet… you can run, but you can’t hide. The Browning M2 machine gun fires 1/2″ diameter bullets at a prodigious rate downrange. You don’t want to be on the receiving end of this devestating weapon. And while the weapon itself is not new, these spiffy guided slugs sure are.
Ms. Bryan continues:
More than $1 million in research and development grants have taken the project this far.
A million is a tiny drop in the ol’ piss bucket, I admit. However, one has to wonder what the world would be like if we stopped spending so much on improving our killing skills and instead invested in our living skills.
Defense department researchers and contractors are already developing flying nano-bots that can stream live video, contact lenses that would allow soldiers to focus simultaneously on virtual digital images and their surroundings, and smartphone apps that help with tactical operations.
Killing seems to be our business. We’re good at it… always have been.
Have a great day!

Kate Valentine and Fahrusha welcome Robert Hastings, researcher of incursions by UFOs into nuclear weapons storage facilities, to Shattered Reality Podcast. One of the biggest threats to humanity and the planet is the possibility of the explosion of nuclear weapons on the Earth or in the atmosphere. Since the dawn of the nuclear age in the late 1940s, UFOs have been observed in conjunction with nuclear tests, nuclear research facilities and nuclear missile silos. This situation continues to the current day.
Robert Hastings has been faithfully documenting this phenomena for more than three decades. In many cases the UFOs apparently took the missiles off line rendering them unable to be fired. In a few cases there are nuclear weapons put into the firing mode causing panic. While Hastings’ research is largely centered in the US, there is documented evidence of incursions by UFOs happening at Russian missile sites as well.
Robert Hastings’ 48-minute documentary film, UFOs and Nukes: The Secret Link Revealed, is available at http://www.vimeo.com/ondemand/ufosandnukes $4.99 rental; $9.99 to purchase. A generous donation by Jared Tarbell of Etsy.com made the film possible. His book, UFOs and Nukes: Extraordinary Encounters at Nuclear Weapons Sites, is available ONLY at http://www.ufohastings.com/book for $24.95. Scalpers at Amazon resell it for $75 and up.

From the recording Plymouth Belvedere
A friend of ours found a special handgun when cleaning out a closet,...and a song was born!
Daddy bought me a pistol for my twenty-first year
Though I lived in the city, not the wild frontier
He wanted me to shoot, took me out to the range
Handling a revolver felt mighty strange
Daddy said, “Hold steady, take aim, shoot straight!”
I just stared at that Smith & Wesson thirty-eight.
I tucked it away in a real safe place.
Didn’t think I’d need it, but just in case
I kept the gun loaded in a cupboard up high
Practiced on occasion, but I wondered why
Annie Oakley I wasn’t, no, not so great.
Quite a kick on that Smith & Wesson thirty-eight.
Then late one night, I heard a window break –
Stranger in the house, I was wide awake.
He saw me with my gun, though the lights were dim
He didn’t seem worried as I aimed at him
I wondered right then, was I starin’ at fate
Down the barrel of my Smith & Wesson thirty-eight.
I recalled Daddy’s voice, as I crouched in the dark
“You'd better practice, girl, so you can hit your mark
It could save your life, this little hunk of steel.
It’s a special gun, only you know the deal.”
“So ya gotta six-shooter,” the big brute said,
“Go on and use it, honey, or you’ll be dead.”
He counted out loud as I fired each round.
I missed six times, he was gaining ground
So I fired once more – the bullet went straight
From my seven-shot Smith & Wesson thirty-eight.
It was a seven-shot Smith & Wesson thirty-eight.
If you own a gun, do you know what to do
With your forty-five, thirty-eight or twenty-two?
I was lucky, but now I take dad’s advice –
Go to the range once a month or twice.
I’ll admit at first I just couldn’t relate.
Now I love my Smith & Wesson thirty-eight.
Yes, I love my Smith & Wesson thirty-eight.

Seventy-5 years in the past, precisely on August 6, 1945 that first lethal and exceptionally devastating uranium atomic bomb called the “Little Boy” was dropped via the Americans on Japanese town of Hiroshima – a town of approximately 350,000. Then on the ninth, this is 3 days after, any other plutonium bomb tagged “Fat Man” turned into unleashed on Nagasaki. These two blasts killed more than 300,000 people. Some died immediately even as others had been incapacitated from the radiation from the explosions. And there are also others that survived however are yet to get over the physical and emotional trauma. Thanks to the then United States President Harry Truman, who at once stopped the bombings after seeing the devastation of the first otherwise Japan could were completely worn out. And additionally the smart Japanese emperor who horridly, unconditional surrendered. But did it prevent at that? No. Though those movements correctly introduced to an stop to the Second World War, the Soviets success in trying out their personal nuclear bomb 1949 signalled the start of the harrowing, long cold battle and the nuclear race. First, the Americans, then the Soviets and now other countries have joined in the race to destruction by means of stockpiling those deadly guns that threaten to wipe out mankind.
But has the world learnt some thing from these unfortunate occasions? No! What we still see today is a global bent on destroying itself – from the ambition caused devastating international wars to nuclear race to organic and chemical guns and the soon (or already) ‘weaponization’ of the space. Some countries are already organising Space Forces. You noticed President Trump these days inaugurating the USA Space Force. And who is aware of exactly what some of these international locations freight to the space every week inside the call of classified area launches and shuttles? Wake up for the gap palms race has started in earnest. Look at the sizeable resources being wasted at the production of some of those guns of mass destruction – trillions of greenbacks. Do you know what is fees to provide a hypersonic missile, an intercontinental ballistic missiles or some of the ones stealth air, space and water crafts – a few capable of sporting multiple nuclear conflict heads and other hi-tech guns? Imagine what fantastic outcomes those assets and efforts might have had if they have been channelled to assist humanity. Unfortunately, even the international locations struggling with their economies and development also are in this wasteful, expensive and threatening race. Recently, the American president introduced that the united states of america is already generating a missile in an effort to be 15 times faster than the Russian and Chinese hypersonic weapons. Some of those can reach the farthest part of the sector in much less than an hour. And they’re simply those they need the general public to realize. Of course, there will always be plenty of classified weapons, inventions, crafts and operations that these international locations would no longer allow their competition realize of. After all who knew that the United States was developing the ones nuclear guns within the 40s? Now, though there are treaties and unwritten mutual admire among those nuclear powers and they may probably not use these weapons until their survival is threatened, but imagine a struggle between them or those substances going into the palms of any of those powerful terrorist agencies. That will really be the beginning of the cease for our global.
