Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Gel-blaster guns are not recommended for self-defense purposes as they are not as powerful or reliable as traditional firearms.
The legality of owning and using gel blaster guns varies by state and country. It is important to research your local laws before making a purchase.
Gel blaster guns and airsoft guns are similar in that they are both non-lethal firearms that shoot small projectiles. However, gel blaster guns use water-absorbent gel balls as ammunition, while airsoft guns use plastic BBs. Gel blaster guns also have a shorter range and lower velocity compared to airsoft guns.
When choosing a gel blaster gun, it is important to consider your budget, intended use, and personal preferences. Some factors to consider include the gun’s range, FPS, magazine capacity, build quality, and compatibility with upgrades and accessories.
While gel blaster guns are generally safe when used properly, they should always be used under adult supervision and with appropriate safety equipment. Children should also be educated on safe and responsible shooting habits before using a gel-blaster gun.


The United States Navy has successfully tested a small missile called a Spike miniature against targets representing “Outlaw” UAVs. The tests were carried out at the China Lake facility in California in December of 2016, according to an article on the UASVision website.
The small missile was fired on two occasions at the Naval Air Warfare Center Weapons Division, China Lake. In the tests, a fixed-wing UAV (which would, in nearly all cases, fly much faster than a quadcopter) was flown on the site. The Spike miniature, which was mounted in a radar-tracking gimbal, acquired and tracked the target with the assistance of an operator.
This isn’t the first time the Spike team has been in action. According to the article, a team has been testing this technology since at least 2013. What was new in this test was that what’s called a “proximity fuse” provided by the army was integrated into the missile. That type of fuse enables the Spike to detonate when it’s close to the target and does not require a direct hit.
There were two tests, each using separate detonation methods. On one occasion the proximity fuse was used, while on the second an actual direct contact with the UAV occurred. You can see from this Navy photo the clear outline of a formerly fixed-wing craft that is about to fall to the ground in zillion pieces.
According to the UASVision article, “…Spike is under development by a small team of engineers at China Lake, seeking to provide a cost-effective weapon that could counter emerging threats with capabilities that other weapons cannot.”
Interestingly, that doesn’t necessarily mean Unmanned Aerial Vehicles. One of the potential uses of the Spike miniature is against small boats – or groups of such boats.
“One such area is the increasing threat of small boat swarms often referred to as the fast attack craft (FAC) and fast inshore attack craft (FIAC) threat. One strategy the enemy employs is to use multiple FACs/FIACs to go after a target. The Spike could be a good gap-filler in a layered defense against this tactic. Spike has recorded direct hits against moving FIAC threats in separate test events…”
Spike is just over two feet long and weighs 5.5 pounds. And, apparently, very accurate.


Fifty-three years ago today, at the height of the Cuban Missile Crisis, second-in-command Vasili Arkhipov of the Soviet submarine B-59 refused to agree with his Captain's order to launch nuclear torpedos against US warships and beginning a nuclear war between the superpowers.
The US had been dropping depth charges near the submarine in an attempt to force it to surface, unaware it was carrying nuclear arms. The Soviet officers, who had lost radio contact with Moscow, concluded that World War 3 had begun, and 2 of the officers agreed to 'blast the warships out of the water'. Arkhipov refused to agree - unanimous consent of 3 officers was required - and thanks to him, we are here to talk about it.
His story is finally being told in this PBS documentary, 'The Man who Saved the World':


The WASR-series rifles use a Romanian-made receiver , but lack the dimple used to center the magazine above the magazine well seen in the other AK series of rifles. Instead WASRs use internally welded spacer plates to center the magazine. The arrangements of the rivets on the receiver and front and rear trunnions are also different from many other AK derivatives. There are no known clones of the WASR series to date. The lack of dimple and rivet layout allows for positive ID in the many different stock configurations.
Well, where was I. Oh yea, the Assault Gun Ban in the s. Just when the Romanians were about to begin to import all their cool AK type rifles in the country, some pencil necked, syphilitic moron decided to force all the countries selling AKs to tap weld the muzzle nuts, replace the butt stocks and pistol grips with a "thumb hole" stock, and grind off the bayonet lugs. This meant that guns that were now considered "Pre-ban" guns soared in value. Today, a pre-ban gun that looks something like this Thank you, Slick Willie, for making it so that guys like me have to spend a LOT more money for the things we want. Good job, fat boy!
Still covered in Cosmo in it's bag. I get it friday. Already eyeing up a set of birch Timbersmith Furniture for it.
View Full Version : Norinco Mak, converting from a thumbhole stock question. Can you convert these from the thumbhole stock to a butt stock and pistol grip would like wood stock and polymer grip? You need to replace 6 parts on that AK with US made parts. If you buy a US made stock set: butt-stock, pistol grip and handguards, that is 3 pieces right there. The answer is yes, but it may not be as easy as previous posters have made it sound.


Americans have blamed many culprits, from mental illness to inadequate security, for the tragic mass shootings that are occurring with increasing frequency in schools, offices and theaters across the U.S.
Yet in our nation’s ongoing conversation about the root causes of gun violence, the makers of guns are hardly ever mentioned. As a public health researcher, I find this odd, because evidence shows that the culture around guns contributes significantly to gun violence. And firearm manufacturers have played a major role influencing American gun culture.
To help spur this much-needed discussion, I’d like to share some critical facts about the firearm industry that I’ve learned from my recent research on gun violence prevention.
Surging Handgun Sales
The U.S. is saturated with guns—and has become a lot more so over the past decade. In 2016 alone, U.S. gun manufacturers produced 10.6 million firearms for entry into the market, up from 3.6 million in 2006. Pistols and rifles made up about 85 percent of the total.
In addition, only a small number of gunmakers dominate the market. The top five pistol manufacturers alone controlled half of all production in 2016: Sturm, Ruger & Co., Sig Sauer, Glock, Kimber Manufacturing and SCCY Industries. Similarly, the biggest rifle manufacturers —Remington Arms, Sturm, Anderson Manufacturing, Smith & Wesson and Savage Arms— controlled 62.3 percent of that market.
But that only tells part of the story. A look at the caliber of pistols manufactured over the past decade reveals a significant change in demand that has reshaped the industry.
The number of manufactured large caliber pistols able to fire rounds greater than or equal to 9 mm increased six-fold from 2005 to 2016, rising from just over half a million to more than 3 million. The number of 0.380 caliber pistols —small pistols designed specifically for concealed carry— jumped to over 1.1 million from just over 100,000 during the same period.
This indicates a growing demand for guns with increasing lethality and a design focused specifically on self-defense and concealed carry.
Production of rifles has also increased, rising from 1.4 million in 2005 to 4.2 million in 2016. This is driven primarily by a higher demand for semi-automatic weapons, including assault rifles.
Explaining the Stats
So what can explain the jump in the sale of high-caliber handguns and semi-automatic rifles?
For example, in 2005, Smith & Wesson announced a major new marketing campaign focused on “safety, security, protection and sport.” The number of guns the company sold soared after the switch, climbing 30 percent in 2005 and 50 percent in 2006, led by strong growth in pistol sales. By comparison, the number of firearms sold in 2004 rose 11 percent over the previous year.
There’s strong survey evidence that gun owners have become less likely to cite hunting or sport as a reason for their ownership, instead pointing to personal security. The percentage of gun owners who told Gallup the reason they possessed a firearm was for hunting fell to 36 percent in 2013 from almost 60 percent in 2000. The share that cited “sport” as their reason fell even more.
“Stand-Your-Ground” Laws Flourish
Another possible explanation for the uptick in handguns could be the widespread adoption of state “stand-your-ground laws” in recent years. These laws explicitly allow people to use guns as a first resort for self-defense in the face of a threat.
Utah enacted the first stand-your-ground in 1994. The second adoption did not take place until 2005 in Florida. A year later, stand-your-ground laws took off, with 11 states enacting one in 2006 alone. Another dozen passed such laws since then, bringing to the total to half of all states.
These laws were the result of a concerted National Rifle Association lobbying campaign. For example, Florida’s law, which George Zimmerman used in 2013 to escape charges for killing Trayvon Martin, was crafted by former NRA President Marion Hammer.
The American Legislative Exchange Council, an association of state legislators dedicated to limited government of which the NRA was a member, has helped push the laws around the country using a model drafted by another NRA official.
It’s not clear whether the campaign to promote stand-your-ground laws fueled the surge in handgun production. But it’s possible that it’s part of a larger effort to normalize firearms for self-defense.
This overall picture suggests that a change in firearm industry marketing fueled an increased demand for more lethal weapons. This, in turn, appears to have fostered a change in gun culture, which has shifted away from an appreciation of the use of guns for hunting, sport and recreation and toward a view that guns are a necessity to protect oneself from criminals.
How and whether this change in gun culture is influencing rates of firearms violence is a question I’m currently researching.

About the Gunsmith
My love for firearms started early. Childhood shooting became a passion for outdoor recreation and hunting. I was able to further my knowledge by serving as my troop’s armorer in the U.S. Army. I continued my firearms education by attending Colorado School of Trades, and am now a certified, professional gunsmith.


Automatic vs. Semi-Automatic
I'm not sure where I got the idea from originally, but for a long time, I thought a semi-automatic weapon was one that would shoot more than one, but a limited number of shots per trigger pull. Like say 1 trigger pull, 3 bullets, and in order to fire any more, you needed to release the trigger and pull again for 3 more bullets. Again, not sure where I got that idea, but it was completely wrong. The concept above is actually known as burst fire.
A semi-automatic gun is one that fires one bullet for one trigger pull and automatically reloads. That's it. So...basically most handguns and rifles that you see today. I figured since they had their own term, they would not be as widespread, but most guns today are semi-automatic.
An automatic weapon, also known as a machine gun, is a weapon that has the capability to fire multiple rounds with one squeeze of the trigger. Most of these weapons can be switched between automatic and semi-automatic, but the capability to fire multiple rounds by holding down the trigger is what makes them automatic weapons.
Assault Rifle =/= Assault Weapon
This is a BIG one. I know these are thrown around somewhat interchangeably, but from what I've been able to research. There is a big difference. Assault Rifles are rifles that are capable of automatic fire. Also known as machine guns. An Assault Weapon is a term developed in the late 1980s to describe a wide range of weapons. Mostly it covers weapons that look like military weapons due to cosmetic or ergonomic features. It can also cover some handguns. Many of these weapons have the same capabilities as weapons that are not considered assault weapons.
Automatic weapons have been banned for sale to individual owners since 1986, however this only applies to weapons made after this date. It is still legal to buy, sell, and own a machine gun made before 1986. But since it's been 27 years since the last one has been made for sale, the demand from new collectors and enthusiasts makes them very expensive. From what I've heard, is sounds like the cheapest one you'd find is around ten thousand dollars.
Misinformation is King
This is the internet and anything on the internet has to be true, right? Now, people who know me well can practically see the sarcasm dripping off that last sentence, but for the uninitiated, that was a joke. There’s a lot of misleading and even blatantly false information floating around out there, and this is probably my biggest problem with politics. There’s one side that wants you to think that assault weapons are the same as assault rifles and that the kids in America are in constant danger of being gunned down by machine guns at any time unless we act now. Then there’s the other side that says that congress is on the verge of coming into each and every home in America and taking all guns ever made right out of our hands unless we act now. Both evoke strong emotional responses, and both are completely false.
Vague Information is Also Rampant
What is the picture above saying? My first thought when looking at it is that it's saying that hammers killed more people in 2011 than guns did. Now take a look at the next picture.
Now this picture paints a vastly different picture. It screams that handguns were waaaaaaay more deadly than knives, or hands and feet, or miscellaneous weapons. Blunt objects for 2010 came in at 600 deaths. One tenth that of handguns...but wait a minute. See that column over on the left? Rifles 358. Doesn't that look awfully similar to the 323 number in the first picture? So what that first picture is actually saying is that blunt objects killed more people than rifles in 2011. Bottom line is don't take easy to read charts and graphs for granted. They can easily misrepresent what they're actually saying.
Fact check note: You'll have to forgive me, I couldn't find 2 graphs that were both from the exact same year, but if you want to fact check me, here's a link to the FBI database that shows that 2010 and 2011 numbers are fairly similar. FBI Data

Teapot. Redwing. Nougat. Dominic. Plumbob. While these random words may sound like the names of the latest Warby Parker frames, in fact these were some of the code words for top-secret military operations to test America’s new arsenal of post-World War II nuclear weapons.
The U.S. has conducted a total of 1,032 nuclear weapons tests between 1945 and 1992.
The Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) maintains an archive of an estimated 10,000 films made to thoroughly document the explosions that these powerful weapons created during tests conducted between 1945 and 1962.
Using specialized cameras shooting extremely fine grained film at 2,400 frames per second, these films capture the haunting, slow motion growth of otherworldly shapes of the nuclear fireball that emerges from what seems to be an impossibly bright pinpoint of light.
The size and power of the weapons tested in the films range from small “tactical” nukes that could be fired from an artillery unit such as the 1953’s 15 kiloton “Grable” device detonated during Operation Upshot-Knothole, to the most powerful nuclear weapon the U.S. has tested, Operation Castle’s “Bravo” 15 megaton device, detonated at the Bikini Atoll in 1954.
The films are equal parts terrifying and fascinating. High altitude tests show what looks like a new sun spontaneously appearing in the sky, as shock and heat waves dissolve surrounding clouds in an expansive release of energy. Rippling shock waves can be seen racing across the waters of the South Pacific towards the camera as startled birds fly in confusion seconds after blasts at sea. Underground tests show a massive mound of earth rising like a mountain from the ground as explosions push massive columns of energy upwards.
Scientists at LLNL still study these films, using new digital tools to reveal more of the valuable science captured on each frame. These films can be reanalyzed as a way to test and validate computer simulations, which is one of the main ways nuclear weapons are tested in the U.S. today.
In March of 2017, LLNL announced that an initial batch of these films had been scanned and re-analyzed by film experts working with nuclear weapons physicists. The films were declassified, which have been released on its YouTube channel in a playlist.
The Department of Energy has a fascinating book (available online as a free 258 page PDF) titled “Battlefield of the Cold War - The Nevada Test Site: Atmospheric Nuclear Weapons Testing 1951-1963” documenting the history of the tests, and how they were eventually moved underground as scientists began to calculate the dangers of the radioactive fallout released by the tests.
The book contains a thorough appendix listing the first 194 nuclear weapon tests from the very first Trinity test on July 16, 1945 through the Titania test on October 30, 1958. Another PDF "United States Nuclear Tests, July 1945 through September 1992" contains the full list of all tests, but is not as easy to read.
The U.S. and the Soviet Union signed the Limited Nuclear Test Ban Treaty on August 5, 1963 which ended atmospheric, ocean and space nuclear weapons tests, while still allowing underground tests. In 1992, the U.S. initiated a moratorium on all nuclear testing, and signed on to the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty in 1996 along with dozens of other countries.

For this post, I grabbed the URLs of all of the videos in LLNL's playlist of the declassified films. Then I downloaded them all with the help of yt-dlp.
I used AfterEffects to make the composite videos, and ffmpeg to extract frames. ChatGPT 4 was extremely helpful (as usual) for building some complex image processing python scripts that let me play around with making some interesting promo images.


I have been tinkering with the way weapons and armor work in B/X. I think these houserules add some depth to the system without being overwhelming. The armor system below allows for more thematic characters in this system, especially when armor types are abstracted to light, medium, and heavy.
Base AC for all characters starts at 9 and progresses upwards based on Weapons, Armor and Dexterity.
- Small melee weapons add +1 to AC
- Medium melee weapons add +2 to AC
- Large melee weapons add +2 to AC
- Ranged weapons add no bonus to AC
- Shields add a +1 (small) or +2 (medium) bonus to AC*
- Helmets add a +1 to AC (-1 to initiative and ranged attacks?)
- Leather Armor (light) provides a +1 to AC
- Chainmail Armor (medium) provides a +2 to AC
- Plate Armor (heavy) provides a +3 to AC
- Dexterity Bonus**
- Any character can dual-wield and both weapons add towards AC, but only off-handed weapons can be used in the off-hand.***
*Ranged attacks ignore AC modifiers provided by melee weapons but not shields.
**Dexterity bonus is added to AC (Armor + Dexterity cannot exceed +3, anything over is lost). So if a character with a +1 dexterity bonus could wear chainmail for a total AC bonus of +3. If he wore plate he would gain +3 to AC from the plate armor but would lose his dexterity bonus.
***When dual-wielding the number rolled on the attack die determines which weapon has hit. Even numbers are hits from your main weapon, and odd numbers are hits from your off-hand weapon. Roll damage accordingly.


This new 41,000 SF, LEED Silver facility is the first of its kind in the Air Force Global Strike Command. The building co-locates the 341st Security Forces Group Tactical Response Force alongside the 40th Helicopter Squadron to improve communication, organization, and deliver faster response times to support the combat capability of the 341st Missile Wing.
The $19.7 million project provides an adequately sized and configured facility that co-located squadron operations facility and the sleeping quarters of the alert crew with aircraft to minimize crew response times for 24-hour a day/7-days per week/365- days per year readiness. Proper command and control, maintenance, and fueling capabilities were needed for helicopter operations to provide security for remote intercontinental ballistic missile alert and launch facilities as well as to conduct military and civil search and rescue missions throughout Montana.
The TRF received a 2021 Citation Award at the USAF Design Awards.
"This facility is vital to the stability of the world. It will help us secure our missile fields much better than we ever had in the past."

Today kicks off the start of Barak Obama’s long awaited Summit with world leaders to discuss the future of Nuclear security around the globe. The leaders of 46 countries will be in attendance to talk about how they will proceed with securing nuclear weapons materials around the world. The goal is to design a treaty that will keep these terrible weapons and their components out of the reach of terrorists.
The summit comes just after the United States of America and Russia signed a nuclear arms reduction treaty last week. The intention was to demonstrate the commitment of the two nations towards reducing the numbers of nuclear weapons to the rest of the world. Together, the two countries wish to lead the world away from developing new generations of nukes and preventing existing material from ending up in the hands of those who wish to do harm to the established world nations.
In the article Obama hosts two-day summit on nuclear security – CNN.com, they infer that this new wave of nuclear agreements will put even more pressure on nations like Iran and North Korea to abandon their pursuit of nuclear technology. The article quotes secretary Henry Gates on this issue saying, “We’re doing everything we can to try and keep Iran from developing nuclear weapons… At the end of the day, Iran has to decide that not having nuclear weapons is a better defense strategy than having them”
I raise an interesting parallel to the issue of our failed gun control laws. If none of the good guys/gals are allowed to have them for protection, then only the bad guys/gals who break the law will. If that happens, we will have to rely on a reduced stock of warheads that were made in the 60s and 70s to deter our enemies; lets just hope it never comes to that…


New Gun Love
Despite Germany's strict weapons laws, the number of firearms is increasing. Is this fascination with shooting part of our nature? Our reporters meet scientists, weapons advocates and opponents, and even get to pull the trigger.
For a long time, two world wars and a strong peace movement shaped Germany's lack of enthusiasm for rifles and pistols. But now experts are observing a rethink. Lasertag, Paintball and Airsoft are popular leisure activities. Using fake weapons as a hobby has been in vogue for several years. And more and more people are getting gun licenses. "More hunters than ever before," says the German Hunting Federation. Clubs say shooting promotes young people's ability to concentrate and firearms can be found in more and more households. What are the motives for people to take up arms? A team of reporters travels through Germany and Switzerland to explore the allure of firearms.

A ballistic helmet is a high-strength tactical helmet made of special materials such as Kevlar and PE that can defend against bullets to a certain extent.
The use of ceramic plates dates back to 1918, after the end of world War I, when Colonel Newell Monroe Hopkins discovered that coating steel armor with a ceramic glaze would greatly enhance its protection.
When it comes to bulletproof products, we may first think of bulletproof vests, bulletproof shields, bulletproof inserts and other equipment.
Ultra high tube molecular weight up to more than 2 million, the wear index is minimal, giving it an extremely high resistance to sliding friction.
Whether bulletproof performance is bulletproof is the first index of safety. The test is carried out in the ballistic laboratory.

In GURPSage, those are Duelling bucklers.
Ye olde Viking shields are pretty much a duelling buckler with a light wooden rim; if the wooden part gets hacked to bits, you still have the little buckler.
Viking swordplay is axe-derived; they tended to "fence" with their shield far out in front, with the sword held back until it swings in for a big chop/slice. English style swordplay is spear derived; sword out in front, with the shield just behind it, fencing with the swordpoint.
The English style works well with a strap-on shield, the Viking style wants a buckler.
Ranar's current shield is a Heavy Medium shield with a spike.

- Army announces new counter-drone troops
- Counter-drone technology is still missing in action
In a recent article published on National Review, it was announced that the Army is introducing new counter-drone troops. These troops are specifically trained to handle and mitigate potential threats posed by drones. However, despite this latest development, there is still a notable absence of effective counter-drone technology.
The article sheds light on the fact that the Army’s decision to create specialized counter-drone troops is a proactive and necessary step in addressing the evolving landscape of modern warfare. Drones have become increasingly prevalent in military operations and pose significant challenges in terms of surveillance, reconnaissance, and even potential weaponization. By training troops specifically to counter these threats, the Army is demonstrating a commitment to staying ahead of the curve.
On the other hand, the article also emphasizes the importance of having advanced and reliable counter-drone technology to complement the efforts of the troops. As drones become more sophisticated and accessible to non-state actors, it is crucial for the military to have robust defense mechanisms in place. However, the current state of counter-drone technology is still lacking, leaving a gap in the overall defense strategy.
Furthermore, the article touches on the need for increased collaboration between government agencies, industry partners, and research institutions in developing effective counter-drone solutions. A multi-faceted approach that leverages various expertise and resources is essential in staying one step ahead of potential threats.
In conclusion, while the Army’s announcement of new counter-drone troops is a positive development, the absence of advanced counter-drone technology highlights the ongoing challenges in addressing drone threats. Continued efforts in innovation, collaboration, and investment in cutting-edge technology will be vital in effectively mitigating these risks in the future.

Enter the F/A-22 Raptor, powered by two of Pratt & Whitney’s shiny new F119s, the most powerful fighter engines in production. Using technology we don’t really understand, each engine pumps out 35,000 pounds of spine-twisting thrust and features “supercruise,” the ability to leisurely fly faster than the speed of sound without using fuel-sucking afterburners. And the F119 sports a thrust-vectoring nozzle, giving Raptors maneuverability that would make Maverick soil his ’wears.

Ranger T has some outstanding range tests and is highly recommended by nearly everyone that has tested it over the years. The Lubalox coating was to protect the barrel rifling, and did not give the bullet armor-piercing capabilities.

Besides further dimensional changes to the hollow point for reliable expansion, the trademark perpendicular petals were made longer yet more rounded at the tips to retain stiffness.

I currently have them loaded in my p mags, but due to the inability of practice with them, I will likely convert to some other type of ammo for SD, and keep these as show and tell pieces.

Along with this, the US Navy also released a video of a prototype destroying a small drone. No, this isn’t like Star Wars sadly so there isn’t any bright green or red laser bullets or no awesome laser sounds – it’s clear and silent, but still freaking awesome!
Danger Room’s Spencer Ackermon said that the use of this weapon is “a major show in confidence” of the technology at hand. The navy is hoping to use this technology as an alternative to “countering certain surface, air, and ballistic missile targets.”
This doesn’t mean a Death Star is on the cards though, Barack Obama has already dismissed that one.


Shooting guns in Cambodia the American way
Yep, your eyes are not deceiving you. Me a twenty-five-year-old male from one of (if not the most) pro-gun countries in the world has never fired a single shot before coming to Cambodia. The number one question I get asked all the time when I was a teacher in China was “Sash teacher, you shoot a gun before?” To which I answered, “No, I never did.” They would look puzzled, being led to believe that all Americans owned some sort of firearm or at the very least had shot off a few rounds once in their life.
It was never a goal of mine to fire a gun let alone own one. But on my first day in Phnom Penh Cambodia while riding a tuk tuk the driver asked me a very curious question. “You want to shoot gun?” Now I immediately thought no I don’t want to shoot gun as the small man put it. But then I thought of my old students in China and I decided it was time for me to finally shoot some guns.
Cambodia a dreamplace for army and gun lovers
Early the next morning my tuk tuk driver took me to the gun range. It was near the airport on the outskirts of the city. The gun range it self-was inside what seemed to be a re purposed warehouse. Out front were two armored vehicles and off to the right were the bathrooms. I was greeted by a fit Khmer man who was in his late twenties, in a green fatigue shirt with camo pants. He led me inside which looked like an armory with a round dining room table and some chairs. Bringing me the “menu” there were revolvers, pistols, machine guns, arifles, you could even shoot a bazooka. It was like a gun enthusiasts wet dream and I was overwhelmed with all of the possibilities.
I decided on shooting a revolver, a pistol,an M16, an AK-47 and an M60 Machine gun. (Prices for each weapon will be down below.) So after I decided what I was going to shoot I made my way towards the actual range. The range itself was a huge space split into 3 ranges, dirt floor and rocks at the end of each range. I was led to the third and final range where a small desk was set up with an arm on a swivel. This arm is to help you with holding the assault rifles. I was left alone for a few moments and the man returned with an arsenal. All the weapons I “ordered” where brought to me like a waiter bringing your dinner in a restaurant. He placed the AK-47 first and placed my hands where they should be, took off the safety and told me to squeeze softly. I slowly squeezed and heard a loud pop and felt the kick of the rifle. I let out a chuckle and smiled, I was hooked. All in all, it took me about 25 minutes to finish shooting all the weapons and it was a blast. I an American have finally shot some guns for the first time in Cambodia.

How Do Nuclear Bombs Study? A Bare Overview
Updated on December 31, 2018
K S Lane
K S Lane is a scholar of alchemy and is passionate roughly educating others on her darling aspects of skill.
During the Insensate War era fright of atomic war blanketed the stallion earth, and evening in the 21 100 it isn’t rare for citizenry to body-build shelters and backlog supplies in showcase suddenly atomic onset. The a-bomb, the near muscular arm always reinforced by buzz variety, has entranced the universe for well-nigh a hundred now. But how do nuclear bombs oeuvre? What’s the skill arse the well-nigh grave weapons always reinforced? What incisively is fission, what does U sustain to do with it, and how apprehensive do we actually indigence to be around atomic war breakage out?
This clause explores how nuclear bombs ferment
To infer how atomic bombs oeuvre a lilliputian bit of backcloth alchemy cognition is requisite:
Atoms, which are the edifice blocks that fabricate sprightliness as we cognise it, dwell of a positive karyon encircled by a swarm of negative electrons.
The core itself consists of protons, which birth a overconfident commission, and neutrons, which suffer a indifferent mission.
Because particles with the like care revolt apiece otc the core necessarily something to clasp it unitedly. This personnel is called the substantial forcefulness, and without it the karyon would crash as the protons repelled out from each-other.
The treat of the core of an corpuscle ripping obscure is known as fission.
The core of an speck consists of protons and neutrons and is held unitedly by the ‘hard power.’ If it splits, the procedure is called fission. | Rootage
What is Fission?
Now that we suffer the rudiments polish we can progress to the near englut; what fission really is. As I mentioned antecedently, the staple account is that it’s the ripping of the karyon in an particle. When the karyon splits a monumental measure of vim is released. Thither are two dissimilar types of fission; ad-lib and induced. Self-generated fission, as the discover suggests, occurs impromptu and edubirdi reviews without a accelerator. Induced fission, different unwritten fission, mustiness be triggered purposefully. We’ll research how this occurs a niggling subsequently. Fission is mostly potential in elements with an nuclear turn of 90 or higher (that is, anything bey th in the periodical tabulate).
How can Fission be Induced?
At the inwardness of a atomic arm is a gimmick called a neutron source. This is commonly a little shot of the elements Beryllium-9 and Po, which are unbroken dislocated by a firearm of cross. When the baffle is busted and the two elements close the Po emits something called alpha particles. The alpha particles strike the Beryllium-9 and case it to discharge a neutron. The neutrons fly off and hit the U or Pu fire. The nuclei of the fire atoms dissolve, cathartic yet more neutrons which scatter more nuclei, etcetera. This kinda response is called a range response . Atomic weapons are intentional so that the response doesn’t layover until all of the fire has been detonated and all of the vigor in the corpuscle has been released.
The operation of fission is a strand response. At apiece tone zip is released. | Root
The about plebeian fire for nuclear bombs is the factor U. Ascertained in 1789 by Martin Heinrich Klaproth , U is extremely radioactive and is lowering decent to survive susceptible to fission. Nevertheless, it’s not really the convention manakin of U that’s victimized in nuclear bombs. Alternatively, a taste of the isotope Uranium-235 is exploited, which has deuce-ace less neutrons than the green configuration of the component. This isotope is put-upon in favor to others because of its power to pronto plunge an spare neutron and the swiftness at which is undergoes fission afterward the duplicate neutron is interpreted into the karyon. Samples of u that are put-upon in nuclear bombs moldiness be ‘enriched,’ which way that the subject of Uranium-235 necessarily to be leastways 3.5% of the burthen of the aggregate taste. The enriching appendage is conducted victimisation a separator. Samples of u are spun at heights speeds in tubes and the barge Uranium-235 migrates into the eye of the tubes.
What Almost Pu?
Atomic weapons can likewise be made out of Plutonium-239. It has to be produced in atomic reactors as thither isn’t decent of the staple in nature, but it has interchangeable fission properties to U so it can be secondhand as an option fire origin. The a-bomb that was dropped on Nagasaki during humankind war II contained Pu rather of U.
Ahead it can exploited in atomic weapons both pu and u pauperism to be enriched in a separator ilk this one
How Brawny are Nuclear Bombs?
The offset discernment that the humans got of the powerfulness of atomic weapons was in Venerable of 1954, when the Joined States dropped two nuclear bombs onto the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The impression was annihilating, with an estimated 146,000 mass killed in Hiroshima unique and the cities virtually whole ruined. That was concluded threescore geezerhood ago, though. The near brawny innovative a-bomb e’er detonated, the Czar Bomba, was 3,000 multiplication as volatile as the one dropped concluded Hiroshima. Serve it to say that atomic weapons are rattling, rattling muscular.
The effects of the bombardment of Hiroshima. Stream atomic warheads are capable 3,000 multiplication more brawny than the a-bomb dropped on this metropolis. | Rootage
Which Countries Sustain Atomic Weapons?
Turn of warheads
-Estimates get from the Munition Ascendence Tie-up
Nuclear bombs are the virtually herculean arm invented by humanity. They exercise due to a string response called induced fission, whereby a try of a lowering ingredient (Uranium-235 or Plutonium-239) is smitten by neutrons from a neutron author. The nuclei of the fire atoms tear, cathartic monumental amounts of zip and more neutrons, which perpetuate the response. Thither are presently 9 countries that suffer atomic weapons caches and many more are suspected to let mysterious stocks or atomic programs in the deeds. Level though the precept of reciprocally assured end protects us from the terror of atomic war to about stage, thither volition e’er be grounds to veneration when such potentially destructive weapons lull be.

Incoming Long Rate Maritime Missiles
The Australian government focuses a great deal on its citizens’ security and, therefore, continues to make considerable investments in the defence sector. Recently, the government has pledged to invest $1 billion towards developing modern technological defence products.
This project is focused on procuring long-rate maritime missiles for the Australian Navy force. The government opines that its commitment will streamline all Navy platforms to carry out their primary assignments (see control).
In essence, the project is to procure the best-rated, long-range anti-ship missile and surface-to-air missiles that have extended range for the Navy. It also includes getting modern lightweight Torpedoes and maritime land strike capabilities that exceed the usual distance by 370 km and another by 1500 km.
According to Linda Reynolds, the defence minister, the government would not stop its efforts to create various options for protecting its citizens. Investments would be on emerging surface and submarine fleets. According to her, “These new capabilities will provide a strong, credible deterrent that will ensure stability and security in the region.”
She went further to explain that “The planned acquisitions – when aligned with the ongoing state of the art combat system development and National shipbuilding programs – represent an investment of up to $24 billion, which will build a lethal and highly responsive Navy for decades to come.”
Furthermore, the project will help Australia widen its weapon production base. The project is grouped under Sea 1300, but it does not deter the development process currently ongoing for Evolved Sea Sparrow Block 2 missile program and proposed investment in Standard Missile 2 Block III C project and Missile 6 Block 1 project.
More so, the government has devised another new strategy that focuses on protecting our nation and allies in their immediate environment. Australia is not the only country in this category. Countries such as North Korea and China have equally been accelerating their capabilities by investing in long-range missiles with a speed of about 5500 kilometres.
Also, there is an ongoing tension between Australia and China which started with specific influence campaigns claimed to be Chinese by the Australian government and further heightened by the accusation that China intentionally spread the coronavirus diseases. These issues may degenerate into the war soon, and hence, the Australian government’s constant agitation to invest in new defence technologies will become fully justified.
The Ministry of defence announced that trials would soon begin on hypersonic missiles that increase their sound speed by at least five times. These missiles are conceived under a partnership agreement with the United States. Through its secretary of defence, the United States government reveals that the partnership with Australia is a 15-year project titled “SCIFiRE (Southern Cross Integrated Flight Research Experiment).” The project has been described as a necessary tool for cultivating hypersonic development programs.
However, strategists have cautioned the Australian government to take heed and prioritise time without compromising quality. The reason adduced for this opinion is that Governments do not have an extended period to build a defence against external threats.


This is the first wave. (Hint. We ain’t leaving Syria.)
Russia Is ‘Forcing’ U.S. Military Out of Syria and Testing New Weapons to Help, Reports Say
Trump has Twitter announced that we’re getting out of Syria! Hooray, we won, we’re coming home.
So, yeah, this should be interesting.
I have thought for a very long time that “civilian control” of the military was an adorably cute notion.
(I also don’t believe in the Tooth Fairy, in case you were wondering.)
Now, when a president has announced to the entire world that we’re getting out of our Syrian-Russian proxy war at a time when the entire power structure believes Trump is likely a Russian asset,
and yes, there is a deep institutional assumption that Trump is comprised by Russia,
and that will build in an extra layer of resistance. The only question is how will they do it? A lot of Syrian ops have been covert to begin with, and as there’s no protection at all for journalists our sight is already very limited, but I still don’t see how they hide the entire thing, and I do not believe for one second that DoD just says:
“Cool. Let’s leave Syria to the Russians.”
I just cannot fathom that.
(I also don’t believe in Santa Clause, if you were wondering.)
Russia is reportedly challenging the U.S. military presence in Syria by testing new weapons, bolstering defenses and increasing the presence of troops near facilities operated by the Pentagon.
Days after returning from his visit to war-torn Syria, Russian Deputy Prime Minister Yury Borisov detailed to local media Monday the various new weapons systems have been introduced to the conflict. These included the Pantsir S1 anti-aircraft and Iskander-M ballistic missile systems on the ground, Tupolev Tu-160 supersonic strategic bombers, Tu-22M3 supersonic bombers and Tu-95 propeller-driven bombers, as well as Mikoyan MiG-29K fighters and Ka-52K Katran helicopters in the air.
He also specifically praised the Sukhoi Su-35 and Su-30SM fighter jets for exceeding expectations in comments translated by The Moscow Times. Borisov hailed the deployment of upgraded S-300 surface-to-air missile systems in October as well, claiming that U.S.-led coalition airstrikes had been “significantly reduced” in northeastern Syria since then.
Russia sent S-300s to Syria after a deadly international incident involving an Israeli air raid on a suspected Iranian weapons depot in September. Though it was Syrian anti-aircraft fire that accidentally struck Russia’s Ilyushin Il-20 surveillance plane during the encounter, killing all 15 on board, both Moscow and Damascus agreed that Israel was to blame, and recent reports suggest that the two may be gearing up to challenge the U.S-led coalition as well.


Why does Iranian acquisition of ballistic missiles or Iran's pursuit of a space launch capability matter, especially to the Congress? For decades, most in Congress have viewed Iran with concern because of its nuclear program and its support of anti-U.S. and anti-Israel militant movements in the region. Although it is not certain that Iran has made the decision to develop a nuclear weapon, it is taking steps to drastically reduce the time needed to obtain nuclear weapons should a decision be made to do so. It is the prospect of an Iranian nuclear weapon mated to an effective missile delivery capability that is especially worrisome to most. This book examines the current and prospective Iranian capabilities that challenge U.S. national security interests, with a focus on its ballistic missile and space launch programs. (Imprint: Nova)
