Guns are smaller now than they’ve ever been. Very impressive killing machines can fit right into your pocket or the palm of your hand. If Stuart Little needed to ice some rats, he’d have no problem. The science is there.
Back in my day, though, guns were huge. It used to be they took up an entire room. Nowadays, a gun jamming is just a figure of speech, but back then, the phrase was forged when one of MIT’s gun technicians accidentally left a jar of actual jam inside the firing chamber.
…that’s bullshit, but they really are small now, compared to, like, cannons.
It’s almost counterproductive – how do I let the people of Target know I’m a death-dealing dominator when they can’t tell I’m carrying from six aisles away?
Historically, the concept went “the bigger the gun, the bigger the boom”. The person with the biggest gun thereby has the biggest boom. When normal peasant gunsmiths were building standard war cannons, Russia built the Tsar Cannon, the biggest boy of the cannon world designed to shoot one-ton cannonballs at high speed. The mega-gun was a catastrophically destructive force in every battle and every army that unveiled it, which is to say, never. The Russians didn’t actually deploy the Tsar Cannon. But, like, imagine if they had.
The Tsar Cannon was big, but like most field cannons, its primary method of conveyance from one place to another was a set of attached wheels that allowed it to be pushed at will. The problem with building an even bigger gun is that moving it from Point A to Point B is tough because guns this big are heavy. That’s where railway guns came in handy (ish). Built primarily between the late 19th and early-to-mid 20th centuries, these artillery behemoths relied on existing rail infrastructure to support their grotesquely-powerful payloads, which was handy in that is could utilize available transit tools to reach its destination but less than handy in that anyone skilled in railroad dismantling was effectively equally skilled in railway gun dismantling. As railroads started to disappear in favor of asphalt, so too did the railway gun.
For a while, big guns sorta fell out of vogue. Artillery cannons were useful against airplanes, and warships kept their big boomsticks, but if the aim of the game is creating as much civilian-adjacent destruction as possible, rocket propulsion and dropping bombs from above are safer bets.
As the world turns the corner on the 20th century, big historical improvements in spacefaring technology join military development as symbols of advancement and technological power. The United States gets some help from its Nazi homies (shout-out Wernher and the boys!) and starts developing rockets designed to go up and then keep going up instead of turning around, coming back down, and exploding real big. They build rockets so good at this that they can put people on them and when the people climb out of the rockets, they’re in space. Sick prank, NASA.
The United States and the Soviet Union are putting more machines, people, and garbage in space now than ever before, which isn’t that hard given that before them, no one was putting anything in space. The Ancient Greeks and Egyptians had gods of the sun, but, believe it or not, they’d never actually been there.
But despite the increasing popularity of shooting explosive space cars into orbit, it’s not as easy as it looks, and it’s expensive. Obviously, building a rocket (very impressive death trap) and paying highly educated people to sit inside it when it’s at its most explosive is expensive, but so is the launch process. The fuel it takes to launch a modern NASA rocket – all 835,958 gallons, costs approximately $1.38 million. Per launch.
In most launches, the energy required to get past the atmosphere and into space is supplied by supplemental bonus rockets that burn up all their fuel and then detach when they’ve done their job, lightening the load and allowing the protagonist rocket to make it to space alone, happy to leave its very helpful friends behind. So in order to make it from the ground to the cooler side of the atmosphere, a rocket needs enough fuel to propel whatever we’re trying to put into space, like dead sex lizards or a fucking car, but also enough to support the weight of that fuel itself and the rockets carrying it.
We’ve established that it’s very expensive to take things not in outer space and put them there, because rockets are expensive to fuel and launch. But rockets are the only reasonable way to propel things through the atmosphere, so it’s a cost we have to deal with unless we develop Superman-style fist propulsion.
Or we could use a gun.
The words “space gun” are funny to me. Launching something into space by shooting it from a cannon sounds stupid. But scientifically, the process is relatively sound. If a small gun can shoot a bullet as far as it can, a larger gun should be able to shoot even further. That was the logic behind the railroad guns and massive artillery cannons like the Paris Gun that the German Army used in World War II to shoot government buildings in Paris from 75 miles away. Ultimately, these weapons were considered unfit for military use, but what if we applied the basics of their design, magnified, to the science sector as a rocket-free method of launching satellites and other space vehicles into orbit?
The idea wasn’t super popular in scientific circles. The tech was experimental, and rockets were working fine. But those who were interested, like Canadian engineer Gerald Bull, who in the 1960s worked on the High Altitude Research Project (HARP), a joint U.S.-Canadian mission to build a supergun on Barbados. The resulting machine, 36 meters long, is still today the largest gun ever assembled. When fired, Bull claimed it had the capability to shoot a 200-pound projectile up to 2,500 miles away. To put that in perspective, if you put a 200 pound man in the HARP gun in New York City facing west, he’d explode as he hit the Hollywood Sign at high speed. But what a trip!
Bull was all in on space guns. HARP was great, but his ambitions were bigger. He was going to use a gun to put a satellite in space. Shortly after the HARP gun was completed, though, he ran into a problem: the United States and Canada did not want to use a gun to put a satellite in space. Canada was put off by the whole “building a very massive weapon in the off chance the United States agrees to use it for good” thing, and the United States was fully invested in already-successful rockets and had no time for non-military guns.
Bull, as it so happened, also no longer had time for non-military guns. Not long after the closure of the HARP program, the Canadian scientist founded a number of fun small businesses dedicated to selling explosive weapons to the apartheid government of South Africa among other clients.
It was an honest living, exempting the fact that the United Nations had enacted a weapons embargo on South Africa and the under-the-table deal to allow the country to produce one of Bull’s superguns was, appropriately, super illegal. Bull was charged with violating the embargo and pleaded guilty, going on to serve 6 months in a United States prison. Imagine if the guns had been loaded with marijuana instead of explosive rounds. That’s life in UDX Florence, pal.
When he was released from his life behind bars, Bull emerged a changed man. “Changed” in that he knew it was time to get the fuck out of this ungrateful continent. He set up shop in Brussels and revived production of his GC-45 artillery gun, a weapon significantly smaller than the HARP prototype but built for military use.
Building weapons for South Africa was old hat and uninteresting at this point, so Bull searched for new sales marks. He didn’t have to search long, though; over in the Middle East, Iraq had noticed that its neighbor, Iran, had something of a revolution going on and decided it’d be a nice time to beat the shit out of them. They ran into some logistics problems early on, such as the quirk that Iran is much larger than Iraq, mountainous, and three times as populous. To supplement the difference, Iraq turned to its massive defense budget to buy Western armaments, the sort Gerald Bull was eager to provide.
Here, Bull ran into a familiar snag: the guns were being built in Austria, a country participating in an embargo on weapons shipments to Iraq. He’d have to give up and try again next war.
Or, his company could sell the guns to Jordan, an ally of Iraq, for “their military 😉” and definitely not Iraq’s. According to the New York Times, Austria was super aware of the trickery, but decided to let it slide in the humanitarian interest of making mondo bucks.
The guns made it to Iraq and worked great. Unfortunately for them, the invasion of Iran did not work great, and the conflict came to a close without an exchange of territory. Both sides say they won.
Bull made it out even greater. A few years later in 1988, he received a call from a prospective employer: the Iraqi Department of Defense. They wanted to fund his dream project: a gun capable of putting a satellite in space.
Bull’s official project, Project Babylon, was a multimillion dollar mission to produce three guns, two superguns and one mini supergun for the Iraqi government. Despite being hired by Iraq to build weapons used exclusively by Iraq, the construction of the weapons was limited to a series of dedicated facilities across Europe. The forging of the guns’ massive barrels was undertaken at two foundries in the United Kingdom.
Nosy inquirers asking about the purpose of these very gun-like constructions were told they were petroleum-extraction mechanisms built for Iraq’s Ministry of Industry and Minerals, a government department that did not and does not exist. The given phone number was attached to the Ministry of Defense.
The alarm had been raised relatively early: the people involved in building this supposed oil pipeline knew they weren’t building oil pipes, because they didn’t look like oil pipes. Reports to the British government were escalated to the authorities most fit to ignore them.
Business was booming: Iraq was getting their supergun, and European industries were getting paid. Bull was hopeful that Iraq would let him use his big gun to put a satellite in space, and Iraq was looking forward to not doing that and using it to shoot its neighbors instead. But given their ability to have that weapon relied on Bull’s continued support of the project, and understanding that a new and vicious arms race with Israel was fully underway, the Iraqi government had motivation to keep the situation going.
Likewise, Israel had motivation to put it to a stop. In March of 1990, as Bull made a rare return to his apartment in a suburb of Brussels, a gunman fired several shots into him and left him dead on his floor. A suspect was never named or apprehended, but the existence of $20,000 in cash on Bull’s body killed a robber narrative, and nothing in the house had been stolen. No one has proven it was the Mossad, the Israeli intelligence service, but they’re usually cited as the most likely culprit.
By the time the British finally ordered an intervention and the seizure of a shipment of parts in 1990, the New York Times claims 44 of 52 contracted pieces had already shipped. The smaller of the guns, the adorably-named Baby Babylon, had been constructed and test fired in Iraq.
The United Kingdom’s seizure of the gun parts at its docks didn’t occur until two weeks after Bull’s death. With the pieces held abroad and the designer dead, Project Babylon officially collapsed. Baby Babylon was built and operational, and the two remaining guns were technically completable, but Iraq fucked it all up by invading Kuwait in 1991. After Hussein’s government came out on the losing side of that war, he
peacefully brought his soldiers home rained absolute hellfire on the Kuwaiti oil industry in a “if I can’t have it, no one can” tantrum and returned to business as usual. As part of the post-war peace agreement, Iraq admitted to the existence of the Babylon guns and allowed them to be disassembled and destroyed.
Project Babylon was no more, but Gerald Bull’s dream wasn’t dead yet. In the early 2000s, a project called Quicklaunch sought to finally realize the goal of sending a satellite to space with a gun, a feat they finally accomplished never. The organization fell apart before breaching the atmosphere, and as yet, no successor has risen. Maybe part of the reason is that space guns have a sordid legacy of illegal arms dealing and uncomfortable international intrigue. More likely it’s that, with the development of reusable rocket stages by SpaceX, the downsides of the existing staging system are lessened. If space guns weren’t an attractive option before, they’re even less of one now.
Gerald Bull wanted to be the first man to shoot a satellite into space with a gun at any cost. In the end, it was he who flew too close to the sun.

Why are there laws about weapons?
In a word, humanity. Wars are dreadful, causing death and injury to very large numbers of people. But if there were no banned weapons, the death and injury – and therefore the suffering – would be much, much worse. So there are general IHL principles that prohibit and regulate the use of certain weapons and international agreements which ban specific types of weapons entirely, and limit the use of others.
What is the basis for banning the use of some weapons?
It is helpful to think of three central ideas. One is that weapons should not be indiscriminate. Another is that weapons should not cause unnecessary suffering or superfluous injury. The third is that the use of weapons in war should be guided by principles of "distinction, proportionality and military necessity". All that sounds quite technical. The explanations below should help to make it clearer.
What is meant by indiscriminate weapons?
Attacks can only be directed at combatants and military objective. If weapons cannot be directed at a specific military target, or if their effects cannot be controlled, they are considered to be indiscriminate. So, for example, a booby-trap weapon, designed to look like a harmless object, but which can kill or injure when someone approaches, cannot be controlled. It is indiscriminate. Anti-Personnel landmines are a case in point.
What weapons cause unnecessary suffering or superfluous injury?
Ones that go beyond what is strictly necessary to achieve a military aim. For instance, it is widely accepted that once someone has been shot by a bullet, they tend not to take any further part in hostilities. So there is no further advantage in a bullet that explodes on impact. Such weapons were invented as long ago as the nineteenth century, and they make injuries much worse. But they don't bring any real military advantage to the side that fired them. So, on humanitarian grounds, exploding bullets are banned.
Another explicit ban is on weapons which injure by fragments that are not detectable in the human body by X-ray. They are prohibited because they achieve nothing, other than prolonging suffering and preventing treatment.
What are the principles of distinction, proportionality and military necessity?
In a conflict there are combatants and military targets. There are also likely to be civilians and civilian objects. Distinction is all about identifying and respecting the very important difference between the two. Civilians must be protected against military operations. They should not be targeted for attack. The use of weapons in ways that do not preserve that difference is likely to be illegal.
Note that this does not mean that civilian deaths are always a result of a violation of the law. Those in charge of forces – both politicians and military leaders – must take constant care to spare the civilian population. They cannot target civilians directly, and must "take all feasible precautions" in the way they attack, to avoid or minimize incidental loss of civilian life, injury to civilians, and damage to civilian objects.
It follows that if an army acts to achieve its military objectives, and keeps civilian casualties to a minimum, it can be acting lawfully. The guiding principle is known as proportionality. Proportionality prohibits the carrying out of an attack if the expected collateral casualties would be excessive compared with the value of the military objective.
Is there a fixed list of banned weapons?
Specific types of weapons are banned entirely, such as anti-personnel landmines, biological and chemical weapons to name a few examples. More are subject to limits – such as the restrictions on the use of booby-traps. But providing an exhaustive list would be difficult, as weapons are constantly being developed and the law evolves accordingly.
But also, as the previous discussions show, the way weapons are used can be as important as what they actually do. For example, incendiary weapons – ones that are primarily designed to spread fire or to burn – are prohibited in all circumstances against civilians. But lawful use against soldiers is possible. Some weapons may be lawful for use against buildings or enemy tanks but not if directed at troops.
Could the use of nuclear weapons be legal?
Today there is no comprehensive and universal prohibition on the use of nuclear weapons in either customary or conventional international law.
However, on 8 July 1996 the International Court of Justice, the principal judicial organ of the United Nations, gave an Advisory Opinion about the Legality of the threat or use of nuclear weapons. The 14 judges of the Court examined current treaty law, customary rules and State practice with regard to nuclear weapons and, based on their analysis, concluded unanimously that the principles and rules of international humanitarian law apply to the use of nuclear weapons. They added that the use of nuclear weapons would generally be contrary to the principles and rules of international humanitarian law.
What is the difference between biological and chemical weapons?
They are sometimes bracketed together because they are different from the guns, explosives, rockets and missiles that are known as conventional weapons. Chemical weapons work, crudely, as poisons. They have toxins that cause death or incapacitation on contact with humans. They include mustard gas and nerve agents and other chemicals that can incapacitate, asphyxiate or irritate and blister skin.
Biological weapons act on the human life system and are often developed from living organisms such as viruses or bacteria. They are greatly feared because relatively small amounts, for example of deadly spores carrying anthrax, can cause immense numbers of casualties. That's why, along with chemical and nuclear weapons, they are often described as "weapons of mass destruction".
The ban on chemical and biological weapons is so absolute that it does not matter whether they are lethal or not, or whether they are allowed by domestic laws. For example, CS gas can be used by police to control riot situations. But its use is prohibited in armed conflict.
Where is the law about weapons written and how is it enforced?
What soldiers call the "laws of armed conflict" is also known as international humanitarian law, particularly in humanitarian and legal circles. The main treaties are the Geneva Conventions of 1949, developed by later agreements known as Additional Protocols. However, the main laws about weapons are contained in separate conventions, equally legally binding, on specific types of weapon. These include the 1972 Biological Weapons Convention, the 1980 Conventional Weapons Convention and the 1997 Ottawa Convention on anti-personnel landmines.
Alleged breaches of the law can be tried in national courts, or by the International Criminal Court at the Hague. It is a sad fact that there are many breaches. War is extremely violent and very many desperate and appalling things happen. But those breaches don't undermine the need for the laws, or for improved compliance.
Have the laws on weapons made a difference?
Almost certainly, though it is very hard to quantify. It can also be hard to appreciate when media reports are full of graphic stories of death and injury. It is worth remembering that news media focus on disturbing and exceptional cases. Those occasions when armies take care to avoid injury to civilians are simply not reported – partly because few people know about them, and partly because "no civilians injured" does not make a news headline.

The reported altitude would indicate the missile was launched at a high trajectory.David Wright, co-director of the UCS Global Security Program and a missile expert, said if the missile had been fired at a standard trajectory, it would have had a maximum range of about 2,800 miles.
The launch is the first since a new liberal president took office in South Korea on Wednesday saying dialogue as well as pressure must be used to ease tensions on the Korean peninsula and stop the North's weapons pursuit.President Trump opened the door this month to talks, saying he would be 'honored' to meet Kim Jong-Un.Trump warned in an interview with Reuters in late April that a 'major, major conflict' with the North was possible, but he would prefer a diplomatic outcome to the dispute over its nuclear and missile programs.US Pacific Command says the flight was not consistent with an intercontinental ballistic missile.Japan's defense minister Tomomi Inada told reporters there is a possibility that it was a new type of ballistic missile, saying it flew Sunday for about 30 minutes and at an altitude exceeding 1,240 miles. Japanese officials said the missile landed in the Sea of Japan but outside the country's exclusive economic zone.
is correct, then the launch may indeed represent a new missile with a long range," said Jonathan Mc Dowell of the Harvard Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, referring the estimated altitude of more than 1,245 miles.'It is definitely concerning,' Mc Dowell said.


Introduced ranged attacks. Having a ranged attack allows a soul to attack any adjacent soul, ignoring all terrain struggles and flight. The bow weapon conveys a ranged attack, and one beast has been added with the ability built in, the terrifying octopus.
Introduced pushback attacks. The victim will be pushed one tile back in a straight line from the attacker. This doesn’t work if there is an empty tile or another soul behind them. The club weapon, though poor on damage, makes this kind of attack.
Introduced cleave attacks. These will damage valid targets on either side of your chosen target. The axe is a cleaving weapon.
Added an aggressive flier, birds. Walking through the desert now causes damage due to exposure, on the third step and thereafter.


Ah! The two sides meet in the swamps of Gatoraidia...Fearing a pre-emptive strike by the ravaging Gators, the Pachydon must strike now to prevent an invasion of Elephantitia!
Roy sends his Gator Guys and Gator Tanks forward to engage the biggest threat. This works in my favor because my Pachydon begin a crossfire and better position them...
Concentrating the Gator Tanks and a squad equipped with missile launcher troops, the Elephant Walker erupts in flames..WAAAAAAAAA!!!!
Knowing that there is a Gator tank with thier name on it, the Pachydon rush to find cover amongst the ruins.
The Pachydon take cover in some ruins and manage to wipe out the last Gator tank with a missile laucher! Pachydon Victory!


What if you could take the slim design of the G36 and give it the capacity of the G30 or even G21? Well, you’d have what GLOCK calls the G30S(“S” standing for slim). Note, this should not be mistaken for the G30SF(“SF” standing for short frame) but also take note that the G30S utilizes the G30SF feature of the shorter trigger reach. Now, for those of us, including myself, that aren’t too familiar with GLOCK pistols, you have no idea what any of those model numbers are without doing some research so I’ll make it easy. All of these fire the .45 auto with the differences being the size of the firearm itself. The G21 is the standard configuration with a double stack magazine size of 13 rounds, the G30 is the subcompact version sporting a shorter frame and slide with a double stack magazine capacity of 10 rounds, and the G36 closely resembles the G30 with the exception in the width of the gun. The G36 accomplishes this slim design by utilizing a single stack magazine which results in a capacity of only 6 rounds. All capacities don’t include one chambered.
Now, on to the G30S. It’s best to mention first, that this does not carry any of the features found with the Gen 4 line; interchangeable backstraps, improved grip texture, reversible magazine catch, ect. This is due to the fact that the G30S frame is based off of the G30SF frame which was designed before the birth of the Gen 4. One immediate give away is the size of the magazine release, the Gen 4 releases are larger. Here, GLOCK took the thin slide of the G36 and mated it with the receiver of the G30. The goal was to take the G30 and make it easier to conceal. Why not just use the G36 to begin with? Capacity. This model was designed with law enforcement in mind. For us average Joe’s the G36 might be sufficient. I’m sure it would be for me and in fact I’m highly considering it for my daily carry gun. But the truth of the matter is, not everyone is comfortable with small capacity magazines. The G30S follows suit of the G30 with it’s standard 10 round magazine and both accept the 13 round magazine of the G21.
So in the end, we essentially have a G30 with a G36 slide. I can’t say for sure, but shooting them myself I imagine I won’t be able to feel much of a difference between the G30 and G30S. That may not hold true for the die hard GLOCK fans or competition shooters who I’m sure will be more appreciative of the lighter, thinner slide of the G30S.


The first thing that pops to mind when you come across the words “strong hand” is an image of a powerful sword-wielding blonde-bearded barbarian with lightning at the background. Mmm.. No? Okay, excuse my imagination as it wandered off a mile too far. After giving it some more thought and mustering some of my dormant brain cells, a strong hand can actually mean one’s dominant hand, as is the case with indoor gun shooting. It actually makes perfect sense—you need to have a strong and firm grip to fire a gun with conviction and handle its powerful recoil.
I was giving myself a mental pep talk as I entered the firing range: This is totally safe. People have been in and out of this facility. This is nothing more than a recreational activity. Oh wow, they serve cupcakes! No matter how safe the environment seems to be, I still felt nervous; and the anxiety is warranted as I am (barely—out of fear) gripping a lethal weapon! It was a bit abated, though, when I was greeted by one of the three friendly range officers licensed by the National Range Officer Institute, who will also be the ones to guide beginners. The officers will walk you through step by step, but they waste none of your time, as you jump right in and fire after they give their instructions. Indeed, experience is a perfect teacher. The range officers will comment on your posture, your grip, your stance, and even the way you think. Funny, the officer said to me that I was anticipating the recoil, hence, jerking the gun downward just before I pull the trigger. It’s like they can read my mind! Truly, safety is paramount in this facility and here are four general rules they live by:
1) All guns are always loaded – If you are going to assume, assume that the gun is loaded. I am going to repeat it for the nth time, the gun is lethal and should be treated with respect.
2) Never point muzzle at anything you do not want to destroy – This instruction is a bit fuzzy, what if I really hate my ex-girlfriend? Should I point the gun at her? LOL kidding! Seriously though, in the context of an indoor shooting range, the only thing you want to destroy is that piece of carton that vaguely resembles a human torso. The gun should always be pointed at your target, nothing else. And no, do not even think of pointing the gun at your cellphone. It’s hella instagram-worthy, but downright dangerous.
3) Keep finger off the trigger until ready to shoot – Gun firing is a game of conviction. You only rest your finger on the trigger when you are 100% sure you are going to fire the gun. One tip though, be as gentle as possible when pulling the trigger. This will minimize jerking, and make sure that the gun remains pointed at your target.
4) Know your target, and what lies behind and around it – Awareness of self—your intentions, your rhythm, your focus—plays a big part in indoor shooting. More subtle though is the need for awareness of your environment—your target, the surroundings, other shooters, etc. Just to be safe, I always ask the firing officer if it is okay to start shooting. Of course, I do not want to accidentally hit something, or worse, someone!
After 50 rounds, I have had it. I went back to lobby and got to know more about Stronghand Shooting Range, and grew admiration on how high they hold the safety of their customers. First and foremost, they use HS guns from Croatia, which are designed to be more safe and user-friendly. They use non-toxic bullets (still, please do not swallow) with Vihtavouri smokeless powder, non-toxic primer, and copper-coated heads. In simple terms, what they are saying is the area is free from harmful airborne lead. Inside their 18-bay firing range, they invested on a four-turbine two-way air exchanges. In layman’s lingo, the inside air is exhausted and replaced with clean filtered air from the outside. If that does not impress you, they stepped their safety game up a notch with the installation of hepa filters! Truly, Stronghand has put much effort in making their facility more accommodating and less intimidating.
I, thankfully, came out of the range unscathed and alive! You have to own up to the moment and fire with conviction, no matter how shaky and nervous your beginner hands are. I learned that you cannot talk yourself into it, though. You really have to fire that first shot. There lies the beauty of it—the irony of things; Isn’t it beautiful knowing that a strong hand is forged by the gentle flicks of a finger, firing up something so lethal, so loud, and so powerful?


Red v Blue - Modern Spearhead rules and micro armour
A brief account of a command post exercise........
Me and a secret wargaming friend ran another walkthrough of these rules. This time we added helicopters, aircraft and artillery.
The reader must bear in mind that we are just starting out in this scale, and with the rules. I have no 6mm trees or terrain, therefore, the pics will not be pretty.....
Some of the models are also in a state of disrepair - I picked up a hodgepodge of second hand stuff some years ago, and they require basing and some need a little tidying up.
This was a field training exercise, designed to put Brigade staff (me and my mate) through their paces and familiarise them with the concept of modern warfare. I took command of the red forces, which were simulating Russian units, my secret wargaming friend took charge of blue, and had a British battlegroup to command.
In summary, red force was made up of three T72 tank battalions, a Motor Rifle battalion in BMP's, supported by a 122mm self propelled artillery battery, a Hind attack Helicopter and an SU25 Frogfoot.
Red Force were attacking, Blue Force defending.
Blue Force consisted of a British armoured battalion with Challenger tanks, and an armoured infantry battalion in Warriors supported by a company Spartan Milan equipped vehicles. The battlegroup also had a recon company, Two batteries of MRLS, an Apache attack helicopter, and an F16 attack aircraft.
I attached my air defence company to the leading tank battalion.
My original plan was simple, one tank battalion, and the Motor Rifle battalion would surge ahead, contact, and pin the enemy. I would keep the two remaining tank battalions as reserve, and commit them once I knew the enemy dispositions.
What could go wrong.......
A Blue Force Forward Observer. Although the picture says otherwise, he is in some woods.......use your bloody imagination will you!
To my surprise, Blue force committed a sizeable chunk of the battlegroup to my left flank. Due to my plan, this would result in my tank battalion making contact with the enemy armour. Note the improved rapier battery closest to the camera.
An aerial shot of the advancing blue force flanking units.
My tank battalion advances to contact
The Blue force units on the far hill are also in trees and cannot be seen or spotted....so wipe them from your memory.
Soon my Motor Rifle battalion, and recon company are engaged by the Blue a Force units hiding on the wooded hill, suffering losses.
The FO (Forward Observer) calls down MRLS battery fire on the advancing Red Force tank battalion, causing quite a few units to suffer suppression.
Meanwhile Blue Force tank units engage and destroy some Red armour....
The arrival of Blue Force air support adds to the carnage. My plan was a disaster....
The battalion was decimated and ceased to be a fighting unit after a moral failure.
I had no choice but to commit my reserves - but where......
All I managed to do was suppress one enemy armour platoon for the loss of approaching 30 Red Force armoured vehicles.
I have a lot to learn. Part two of the battle will take place next week.

A person who is in the law and order department and handles weapons needs to be well trained and gain the skills on how to use them well. To help them in perfecting on their skills the pistol training targets are used to help them attain the skills of shooting perfectly. It is not a must for you to be in the law department to own a weapon because civilians can be licensed to own guns. The pistol target is, therefore, a good training tool. It will be a good idea for buying the pistol training targets from an online store. You will be able to find many online pistol training target stores but it will be hard choosing the best for your needs.

Another Step Forward
Dave Killion — August 3, 2012
Government-busting technology is a favourite topic of mine, and there have been a couple big developments in the past few weeks. One is an encrypted web-based chat called Cryptocat. The other, on which I will focus today, is the first working rifle made with a 3D printer -
“An amateur gunsmith, operating under the handle of “HaveBlue” (incidentally, “Have Blue” is the codename that was used for the prototype stealth fighter that became the Lockheed F-117), announced recently in online forums that he had successfully printed a serviceable .22 caliber pistol.
Despite predictions of disaster, the pistol worked. It successfully fired 200 rounds in testing.
HaveBlue then decided to push the limits of what was possible and use his printer to make an AR-15 rifle. To do this, he downloaded plans for an AR-15 receiver in the Solidworks file format from a site called CNCGunsmith.com. After some small modifications to the design, he fed about $30 of ABS plastic feedstock into his late-model Stratasys printer. The result was a functional AR-15 rifle.”
If you are a libertarian in need of a hobby, I would have once included gun smithing amongst my recommendations, not only because it could provide one with important skills, but also because (as you can see below in the section of the video starting around the 5:30 mark) surprisingly good results can be had under remarkably simple conditions. However, in light of this latest revelation, I believe I will now start encouraging others to consider the possibilities of 3D printing. But whether anyone follows my advice or not, it is becoming glaringly obvious that increasing wealth and advancing technology are going to make coercive government prohibitions an exercise in futility.

The M9’s UV light might be the most effective in the world, according to a team of researchers.
The M7 Bayonet is the first portable laser-based UV light weapon developed by the UK’s Department for International Development (DFID).
This means that it has been tested with a range of environments, including the ocean, desert, desert beaches, and even the human body.
This includes a pilot project in the UK where a team used the M7 bayonet to target the desert’s sand dunes.
The results of this trial are published in the journal Environmental Science & Technology.
The study used the UK government’s National Institute for Health Research’s (NIFR) M7 Laser Weapon (MBW) to target sand dune sand dweezers.
It’s been developed by scientists at NIFR in partnership with the UK Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO).
MBWs are a type of laser weapon that can be used to target small areas of sand and sand duff that don’t require large numbers of lasers to destroy.
The MBW’s laser pulses have a wavelength of about 2,000nm.
The team tested the M8 and M9 MBWs, and the M10 MBW, with sand dwellers.
The NIFRD is a collaboration between the UK Government and the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), which helps deliver science to help governments understand and manage global issues.
M7 and M8 lasers are the same weapon, but M9s have a more powerful beam that is able to penetrate sand and dune dweezeers, and it can also penetrate other targets.
The researchers used this to target water buffalo.
In a video interview conducted in November 2015, one of the team members said that MBW is able in sand duck water buffalo because they are more mobile than sand duk.
They say MBW targets water buffalo with the tip of its laser, which can penetrate their body.
They also say that MBWs can penetrate sand ducking birds.
In addition to water buffalo, MBW has also been used to kill and injure crocodiles and other large mammals.
In 2016, the British government issued a challenge for countries that could develop a water buffalo weapon to apply for an MBW.
However, the government has yet to award any MBWs.
The scientists at the University of Leicester have been working on MBW technology for several years.
In 2017, they were awarded the First Prize in the European Space Research Award (ESRA), which is awarded to the most promising projects in space exploration and the exploration of the solar system.
M9 and M10 lasers can penetrate through sand dwigs.
The first test was conducted in 2020, but the team has since completed a second round of tests in the laboratory.
M10 Bayonet in action.
The University of Oxford used M9 Bayonet to destroy a sand ducky.
This MBW was developed by researchers at the Oxford Diving Laboratory and has been used in a variety of environments in the past.
It was also tested on the M3 Laser weapon in 2018.
The UK’s M10 bayonet is similar to M7, but has a longer range and has a different laser, so it has an advantage over MBW in sand diving.
This means the M1 laser is needed to target large areas of dune water.
M1 lasers are used to destroy large swaths of sand ducks.
The new M10 laser was developed in partnership between the British Government and DDFID.
It has a range and beam pattern similar to MBW but it is a bit more powerful.
It can penetrate larger dunes and can also be used in other areas.
This M10 weapon was tested with swimmers in the desert in 2018 and is expected to be tested in 2020.
MBW and MBW with M1.
MBWs and MBWs with M2.
MBw with M3.
M5 and M6 lasers were tested with water buffalo in 2017 and 2018.
They are very similar in beam and range.
M6 and M7 lasers have been used against water buffalo for years.
They were used to attack the swimmers at the start of the 20th century.
M8 is a new type of MBW developed by NIFD.
It uses a higher-energy laser that can penetrate more easily through sand.
This type of weapon was first developed in the 1960s, but was abandoned in favor of other technologies.
M3 lasers have also been developed in cooperation with the U.S. Department of Defense.
M4 lasers were developed by a U.K. Army research project.
It is designed to be a low-cost laser that is not as powerful as M5s and M3s.
MB5 lasers are also in development.
These lasers are much more powerful and

You could potentially locate ways close to every one of these complications, but eventually it becomes Distinctive pleading — like contriving a environment wherever folks have radar and guided missiles, but battle their sea battles with ironclads, seriously Simply because It might be neat.
In armed service aviation, an intruder is actually a fighter aircraft or mild bomber, usually a night fighter, the crew of that are tasked with penetrating deep into enemy airspace to disrupt enemy air operations.

For the reason that full mass of all of the battle craft is about equal to that from the unencumbered mom ship, the large ship can maneuver itself way more simply when the children get off mama's back again. The tactical positive aspects are which the system is redundant with fuel and repair service factors; a nuke strike in Room may destroy a single conclusion in the method with out impacting The remainder; and all things grow to be much more versatile of their operational modes just when they have to be.
Immediately after Planet War II fighter design and style moved in to the jet era, and a lot of jet fighters basically followed the thriving World War II system of remarkably successful largely one motor designs that tended to become about half the burden and price of twin motor major fighters. Additional modern lightweight fighters have aggressive air-to-air functionality (supersonic aircraft with afterburning engines and modern missile armament). The higher realistic and budgetary success of recent gentle fighters for many missions is why the US Air Pressure adopted equally the F-15 Eagle and File-sixteen inside of a "hi/lo" technique of equally An excellent but high-priced weighty fighter and also a reduce Expense and also fantastic lightweight fighter.
Toss bombing (occasionally known as loft bombing, and via the U.S. Air Pressure because the Minimal Altitude Bombing Program, LABS) is really a means of bombing where by the attacking plane pulls upward when releasing its bomb load, giving the bomb supplemental time of flight by starting up its ballistic path with the upward vector.
In accordance with a guide engineer for autonomy at AFRL, "ALPHA reveals unbelievable likely, with a combination of substantial general performance and low computational Price That could be a significant enabling functionality for intricate coordinated functions by teams of unmanned aircraft."
The final idea, space-dropped air fighters, is among the most realistic. As opposed to launching a fighter able to returning to orbit, an invading electricity fits a far more-or-less regular atmospheric fighter which has a warmth shield and several modifications to permit air-setting up, and drops it to the environment in help of an invasion. The practicality of planetary invasions apart, the primary troubles are logistical. There may be only a minimal performance penalty, and air cover will be rather useful for your beachhead.
Multirole has also been placed on one particular plane with each important roles, a Key air-to-air beat job, in addition to a secondary part like air-to-surface area attack. However, Individuals intended with the emphasis on aerial battle are usually considered to be air superiority fighters and frequently deployed entirely in that role, Regardless that These are theoretically capable of ground attack. A over here fantastic illustration could be the File-fourteen Tomcat vs . the F/A-eighteen try this out Hornet; the File-fourteen was envisioned at first for air superiority and fleet interception defense with some variants later acquiring secondary ground assault functionality, while the File/A-18 was built from your onset for air-to-floor strikes using a constrained potential to protect by itself from other aircraft.
To help weapons suited for quite a few thousand kilometer ranges, you will need money ships. These are definitely also much easier to struggle at array because of their higher cross-sections and slower reaction occasions (in between the scaling of thrust, minute of inertia and easily the substantial centrifugal forces in crewed vessels if they struggle to spin way too rapidly), but they may have a number of noteworthy caveats relative to fighters.


If you are actually hoping to offer help to Ukraine, there are actually many different possibilities that you may use to help them. There are actually things like International army finance, present day storage tanks, and also medical supplies that you can easily think about. Alexander R New Jersey, USA
Armed forces help
The United States has actually introduced military assistance for Ukraine, giving billions of dollars in weapons considering that the episode of war. Nonetheless, some forces still are without heavy contemporary weapons. Alex Rekeda New Jersey
This help consists of 18 Humvees, mine-resistant ambush guarded cars, as well as various other fight tools. It likewise features a brand-new surface-to-air missile unit as well as other tools to boost Ukrainian sky defenses.
An elderly self defense authorities claimed it will definitely take a minimum of pair of years to obtain the majority of the weapons to Ukraine. He pointed out the Government will very soon launch a detailed list of weapons.
Army assistance for Ukraine are going to consist of big amounts of ammunition and also combat equipment. These things are actually important to the progression of the Ukrainian armed force. Moreover, the United States will certainly provide incentives for international nations to give army tools.
Overseas army finance
A brand-new costs offered this week will increase material help for Ukraine’s Army and also boost their defenses against Russia. It likewise addresses a number of surveillance concerns associated with a Russian build-up on the border with Ukraine.
The Biden administration recently introduced a $3 billion army assistance plan for Ukraine as well as will definitely deliver $682 million to NATO far eastern flank nations. These funds will assist reinforce the alliance’s eastern flank and also inspire regional allies to contribute even more tools.
This brand-new assistance is a major change in the source of Ukrainian armed forces equipment from the United States. Previous United States assistance to the nation has actually contained drawing existing weapons off the rack. Yet the current situation has actually transformed the typical aid design.
Rather than just donating drawn-down stocks, the US federal government has introduced an initiative to direct billions into its defense market. As a result, it’s now able to get components to Ukraine in “unbelievable velocity.”
In an initiative to stay up to date with the Russians, the United States has actually delivered a selection of protection abilities to Ukraine. It’s delivering Bradley Fighting Cars, artillery devices, and also 24 counter-battery radars to the country.
The USA has actually been actually doling out billions of bucks in military help to Ukraine in the course of Russia’s continuous war. However Head of state Joe Biden’s management possesses up until now dropped to supply long-range weaponry to the country.
Nevertheless, the Pentagon is considering to send Ukraine two sophisticated surface-to-air missile systems. According to a Department of Self defense spokesperson, the USA is thinking about giving the long-range ATACMS, an Army Tactical Projectile Device, to the Ukrainian authorities.
Formerly, the Pentagon offered the Ukrainians along with high-speed anti-radiation projectiles. These weapons are actually designed to shoot down incoming ballistic missiles.
Another item of the bundle is actually the Army’s Higher Flexibility Arms Rocket Body, which can easily shoot a 200-pound warhead. HIMARS spacecrafts possess a variety of regarding 186 kilometers.
A Ukrainian authorities said to Newsweek that he ‘d like to receive more advanced weaponry, including an ATACMS, a 185-mile-range variation of the GMLRS, a tactical missile, and some German Leopard as well as Marder tanks
Ukrainian officials have actually pressured Western governments to deliver armoured vehicles to assist Ukraine counterattack versus Russia. Some nations have actually currently provided thousands of Soviet-era tanks to the Ukrainian armed force. But those don’t meet Kiev’s ask for modern fight storage tanks.
While the USA has accepted to offer a plan of $600 million in armed forces assistance to Ukraine, this money does not consist of containers. As an alternative, the package deal includes hefty equipment transport vehicles, drones and also ammo.
Ukraine’s military has been actually reliant on Soviet-era storage tanks for decades. It is unlikely that the United States and also its own allies will send combat tanks to Ukraine.
In August, Germany provided to offer 30 Flakpanzer Gepard anti-aircraft storage tanks to Ukraine. These tanks are actually not as capable as larger war tanks, yet they are actually an additional cost effective alternative.
Russia’s unprovoked strikes on Ukraine have actually created a clinical problems in the nation. Manies medical amenities have been damaged, as well as greater than 90 ambulances have actually been actually taken by Russian forces. In addition, hundreds of private citizens have been actually eliminated or injured.
Several organizations are actually functioning to deal with the health care requirements in Ukraine. These include Project C.U.R.E., which has sent much more than 230 pallets of health care products to the nation.
Sutter Health, which is an integrated health care network, is actually prepping to deliver the most extensive delivery of clinical supplies to Ukraine to time. The contribution is being actually teamed up by means of MedShare. It will definitely consist of an assortment of things, including masks, garments, syringes, and gloves.
Afya Base, which is located in Yonkers, has likewise picked up donations of injury treatment items. This institution has worked in the United States, Canada, and also Ukraine. They are actually working to address the shortage of medical materials in underserved neighborhoods around the world.
Army assistance for Ukraine will certainly include sizable amounts of ammo as well as combat equipment. Ukrainian representatives have pressured Western side authorities to supply armoured lorries to aid Ukraine counterattack against Russia. Ukraine’s military has been reliant on Soviet-era containers for years. It is actually extremely unlikely that the United States as well as its allies would certainly deliver combat containers to Ukraine.
Russia’s unwarranted attacks on Ukraine have actually produced a clinical dilemma in the nation.


Snipers are responsible for the long-range physical damage output of the team.
Their deployment cost is not especially high, making them a good choice for lightly armored targets in the midgame.
However, Sniper Operators have poor survivability and do not hold up under sustained enemy attack.
Put them behind melee fighters to keep them safe.
Note that Sniper Operators are not effective against armored enemies, and will need the support of Caster Operators to deal with hardened targets.

The French 75mm, found in ruins at Anniston Army Depot in 1999, and restored by the Historical Society, was placed on permanent display at Georgia Army Guard Headquarters in Ellenwood, Ga., in early March. Society members and Guardsmen rolled the piece, painted in French Camouflage on to its pedestal after a brief struggle to get the more than 1,000 pound artillery piece through the Oglethorpe Armory doors.
In May last year, the French 75mm was rolled out on a sunny day on the fields at Picketts Mill looking just as if it was rolling onto a battlefield in 1917. Reenactors clad in World War I uniforms surrounded the piece and fired a blank round to prove that its restoration was complete.
Total cost of the restoration borne soley by contriubtion by memebers of the Historical Society came to more than $8,000.
The 75mm's History
When the United States entered World War I in 1917, Great Britain and France were nearly exhausted from more than three years of fighting and viewed the entry of America as a way to win the war over a weary Germany and Austria. As part of America's mobilization, the National Guard was called to active duty, though its preparedness was a question considering that its artillery units employed guns that had been obsolete for 20 years. Hence, National Guard units were issued French field pieces upon their arrival in France.
The weapon issued to the National Guard was a remarkable piece containing one of the most important developments in field artillery in the 20th century. The gun was called the French 75--officially known as the 75 mm Field Gun, Model of 1897 (French). Its innovative development was its recoil system consisting of two hydraulic cylinders, a floating piston, a connected piston, a head of gas and a reservoir of oil. This made for a soft, smooth operation and the gun was used as late as 1941 in World War II against the Japanese in the Philippines and in North Africa. The UP.S. Army's Field Artillery School used it for training long after it was rendered obsolete for combat use and some Third World armies used the French 75 into the 1970s.
One National Guard artillery unit to use the French 75 during "the Great War" was commanded by a future U. S. President. Captain Harry S. Truman commanded Battery D, 129th Field Artillery Regiment, 35th Division, Kansas and Missouri National Guards. The 35th Division arrived in France in May 1918 and was assigned along with its artillery to take part in the offensive, which marked the combat debut of the U.S. First Army.
As the time ticked off to begin the massive preparation that would herald the offensive, Captain Truman stood by the guns of Battery D. Truman told his men that he would, ". . . rather be right here than be President of the United States." When the order to commence firing was given, the guns hurled their 75 millimeter shells at the German positions at the rate of 30 rounds per minute. The fire was so rapid that wet blankets had to be wrapped around the gun barrels for ten minutes each hour to cool them off. After the barrage, Captain Truman said that ". . . it was as quiet as a church," although he could hear the rattle of machine guns firing in the distance. The 35th Division gained more than six kilometers of ground on the 26th of September and the Argonne offensive was so successful that Germany sued for peace on November 11, 1918.
After the gun served so well in combat and later as a training weapon, most of the 17,000 French 75s built were scrapped. Artillery purists are saddened that so few remain, as the 75 mm Field Gun, Model of 1897 (French), with its sweet recoil system, fathered numerous other modern systems which are served by artillerymen the world over.
When and Where the Society Found the French 75mm
The Georgia National Guard found the French 75 and the Historical Society of the Georgia National Guard acquired it from the U.S. Army's Center of Military History. The 106-inch tube, the breech and the trail were intact and in excellent condition. The wooden wheels had deteriorated, although some of the wood was salvaged to retain its original appearance and historical accuracy. The gun was brought home to Georgia and the restoration process begun.
The first part of the restoration phase required repair of the wheels which required at least $5,000 to restore.
The French 75 is the first gun displayed for the Georgia National Guard in what is envisioned as part of an 'Armaments Row'. Very few museums or National Guard armories can claim that their displays include the famous French 75--the staple of National Guard artillery for more than 40 years and the pride of our 33rd President.

In creating the innovative Ka-50 fight helicopter in 1977 at the time the fleet of the Soviet Military’s fight helicopters was made up of Mi- 24s. Numerous helicopter setups as well as were examined, as “Kamov” developers attempted to develop a brand-new remarkable battle equipment. The experience in Vietnam and also in Afghanistan had actually revealed the reduced survivability of the traditional single-rotor helicopter due to its susceptible tail blades as well as prolonged blades drive.
In establishing the sophisticated Ka-50 fight helicopter in 1977 at the time the fleet of the Soviet Military’s battle helicopters was made up of Mi- 24s. The experience in Vietnam as well as in Afghanistan had actually divulged the reduced survivability of the timeless single-rotor helicopter due to its prone tail blades as well as expanded blades drive.
The Ka-50’s fight power is based basically on anti-tank assisted rockets and also cannon fire. Regularly, after that a helicopter strikes storage tanks, it comes to be an excellent adversary target. This tool aids lower the time invested by the helicopter in the shooting area, surpassing at the exact same time the efficient array of adversary anti-aircraft rockets.
The top priorities of the “Kamov” business expand much past its unparalleled experience in the concept and also method of structure coaxial blades helicopters. In 1965, the business began releasing fibre glass rotor blades in their helicopters 10 years prior to the remainder of the globe. One of the Ka- 50’s rotor blades received 30 openings triggered by automated shooting to evaluate the helicopter’s survivability.
The coaxial blades substantially enhances helicopter survivability, makes the blades drive much more portable and also significantly decreases engine power losses. Numerous Ka-50 weaponry variations have actually been suggested to much better adjust the craft to the existing fleet of military fight helicopters as well as allow shooting versus various targets.
Such a blades guarantees much easier helicopter control both in the guidebook as well as, a lot more notably, automated setting, outstanding manoeuvrability, liftoff as well as touchdown in gusty climate. The coaxial blades substantially boosts helicopter survivability, makes the blades drive extra small as well as significantly minimizes engine power losses.
In enhancement, this element assists decrease the recoil impact, helicopter weight as well as preserve the facility of gravity, as the rounds are used up. The electro hydraulic servo drive supplies for the straight and also upright activities of the barrel to preserve the line of fire. The Ka-50’s team was consequently as well as the “Vikhr” rockets are made by a group of tool developers headed by A.G. Shipunov, equivalent Participant of the Russian Academy of Sciences.
The BMP-2’s and also the Military fight helicopter’s 450 bushmaster ammo weapon install has actually verified dependable in problems of severe dirt. The weapon setup in Ka-50 is rather uncommon. To protect high precision of fire along with various other exceptional buildings, the weapon is set up in the helicopter’s centre of gravity.
Different Ka-50 weaponry variations have actually been suggested to far better adjust the craft to the existing fleet of military fight helicopters and also allow shooting versus various targets.

Iron DomeBy IAG | November 30th, 2012 | Posted in Aviation News | 1 Comment
On a visit to Israel we were given a relatively close up visit with an Iron Dome battery. The lights on the launcher tell the story – flashing red means the device is live and online, ready to fire instantly. All around southern Israel we saw large trucks driving with canisters such as on this launcher – carrying empties away and bringing fresh ones into service.
The recent events in Israel have been a cause of much discussion. Hamas declared a victory because they are still in business. They know had a ground operation against been launched they would have been even more severely mauled. That the IDF did not engage in a ground attack is therefore a win for Hamas.
But the greater win was on the IDF side. Its Iron Dome is till in pre-beta mode. Think about that for a moment. The batteries fired two interceptors at each target. After the trial by fire we were told this will not be necessary in future. The only missiles that escaped the Iron Dome were those fired in salvos of 16. With only one interceptor needed per target, a launcher such as seen here could handle 20 targets on its own.
Moreover the IDF developed a method that reduced identification of a missile launch site to attacking the site to "seconds". They won't explain how, but almost certainly this has to do with perennial war zone coverage by UAVs.
There is some thoughts that Hezbollah in Lebanon could be much more difficult to handle. But this probably not the case. The consensus of people we have spoken with is that the Gaza event was fired off by Iran to take pressure off Syria. While Israel was vilified for killing under 200 Palestinians in the about 10 day campaign, Assad in Syrian killed that many people per day without the world media attention. Which tells you something about the world's media agenda. It is far easier to cover a battle with Israel because you are safer by an order of magnitude.
The Iron Dome had a hit rate of between 82% and 90%. That is a tremendous success for a system still test mode. We understand that the system designers benefited from Russian immigrants trained in classical mathematics who wrote the geometry algorithms so the system could decide on a fire/no fire based on the expected landing site of an incoming missile.
One Israeli analyst shared this view: "The spine and backbone of Iran's military method and concept (and obviously its proxies) is the use of rockets and missiles first and for most part as a weapon designed and designated to terrorize. Lacking the ability to win conventional confrontation with Israeli army, the rockets are their answer, the use of rockets is supposed to compensate for their military inferiority and to play role as weapon of deterrence as well as weapon that – in their mind – will generate political achievements."
And it gets worse for Iran and its surrogates. A few days ago Israel made an additional major breakthrough with the successful test of Magic Wand – designed to handle mid-range rockets. Israel is now at the forefront of missile and rocket protection. With its enemies best weapons largely neutralized, the Israeli Air Force could now go into full attack mode when needed. No regional air force is a threat. No regional army is a threat. Long range attacks on Israel by missiles are likely to be far less damaging than they could be.
In fact, the EU now is probably under greater threat from Iran's missiles than Israel. Unless the US places a large number of its Patriot systems all over the EU.
