“Radar Won the war, the bomb ended it.”
During the fall of 1940, Edward “Taffy” Bowen, considered one of Britain’s top defense pioneers, traveled to Washington, D.C., in a covert operation known as the Tizard Mission. His goal: to convice the U.S. government to assist in the development of a highly classified technological device Britain considered its most closely guarded secret—the resonate cavity magnetron. With this new device, aircraft would be able to distinguish rising U-boat periscopes from waves on the darkest of nights, or identify enemy aircraft through heavy cloud cover–vital components to winning the war.
Agreeing to assist Britain in her efforts, the U.S. opened a top-secret research and development laboratory on the campus of the Massachusettes Institute of Technology, known as the Rad Lab. Here, the device was perfected. But to use the device effectively, it needed to be installed and tested in military aircraft.
The year 1942 proved to be a pivotal one for the small town of Boca Raton, Florida. The upscale Boca Raton Club (now the Boca Raton Resort and Club) became the training facility for the Army Air Corps Technical School of Radar. The facility also housed an Officer’s Candidate School and accepted black cadets, many of whomwent on to become part of the famed Tuskeegee Airmen.
In addition, at the urging of Boca Raton’s mayor, J.C. Mitchell, the Army Air Corps agreed land west of Boca Raton would make the ideal location for a new top-secret facility to educate troops in the installation, use and maintenance of this war-worthy device–airborne radar.
“Bravo to Sally Ling for telling the stories, some which have never previously been told, about Boca Raton Army Air Field. She has captured the human drama as well as the important contribution the base played during World War II. The early bombing campaign over Europe was less than effective due to overcast winter conditions encountered on most missions. By 1944, the advancement of radar bombing, that was perfected on the flight line and classrooms of BRAAF turned the tide in the skies over Germany and Japan. The enhanced radar bombing accuracy shortened the war and saved the lives of countless aircrews.”

ABC News’ Martha Raddatz confronted White House spokesman John Kirby over the Biden administration’s decision to send cluster bombs to Ukraine despite the risks that their use will lead to civilian casualties.
Raddatz brought up the Pentagon’s announcement about the weapons as she interviewed the National Security Council strategic communications coordinator — noting that cluster munitions are prohibited “in so many places around the world.” Asked why the U.S. is sending them to Ukraine, Kirby answered by saying Ukraine has been using their artillery at a rate of “many thousands of rounds per day,” so the cluster bombs are being temporarily supplied while the U.S. increases up shell production.
“This is literally a gunfight…And so, they’re running out of inventory,” said Kirby. “We are trying to ramp up our production of the kind of artillery shells that they’re using most. But that production rate is still not where we want it to be.”
From there, Raddatz questioned Kirby of why the U.S. (along with Ukraine and Russia) has never banned cluster bombs as over 100 other countries have done. She also alluded to concerns about the dud rate where the bombs fail to explode as expected, which can endanger citizens in the event of a delayed, accidental triggering of the bombs.
“They’re obviously a threat to civilians if they don’t explode,” Raddatz said. “Why is the U.S. not banning them, period?”
Kirby responded, “of course, we’re mindful” about possible civilian casualties, and he said the U.S. is working with Ukraine on de-mining operations. He also insisted that the U.S. cluster bombs will have a “very low dud rate,” and that their bombs will be directed at Russian positions, whereas the Russians have used cluster bombs to “indiscriminately” kill Ukrainian citizens.
“I think we can all agree that more civilians have been, and will continue to be, killed by Russian forces, with whether it’s cluster munitions, drones, missile attacks or just frontal assaults than will likely be hurt by the use of these cluster munitions fired at Russian positions inside Ukrainian territory.”

Main Article Content
There has been widespread use of the autonomous weapon systems on the field of battle. The use of weapon in this pattern trends to increase in the future. In term of academic purpose, the concern has been on the consistency between the use of the autonomous weapon systems and the international humanitarian law, especially the impact on the civilians and non-military targets.
This article aims to examine problems in applying the distinction rule under the humanitarian law to the use of autonomous weapons systems and the approach to develop such principle by analyzing the legal principles under Geneva Conventions, 1949 and other relevant laws, the application of international laws by the International Court of Justice, the international seminar reports, the reports of international organizations and the academic journals.
The study finds that the complication of technology leads to the mistakes in using the Autonomous Weapons and the pattern of use that is not clear between civilian and military targets brings about problem in controlling the use of autonomous weapon systems. The recommendation is to develop measures to examine the use of autonomous weapons systems before use in order that the use of autonomous weapons be in line with the Distinction Principle and builds up measures in intervening the use of autonomous weapons systems in the needed cases in order not to affect the target beyond the military purpose.

When it comes to firearms, what are the two basic styles of firearm actions? The two primary categories are semi-automatic and manual actions. Semi-Automatic guns use the recoil or gas from firing a single round to reload a new cartridge and prepare for another shot with each pull of the trigger. Whereas manual actions require more physical input from the user such as a lever, bolt, slide or pump in order to load ammo into the chamber before each shot can be fired. In this blog post we will explore both types of firearm actions in greater depth so you can have clear understanding about their mechanics and uses.
What Is a Firearm Action?
A firearm action is the mechanism that loads, fires and removes empty cartridges from a weapon. The type of action determines how quickly and efficiently this occurs when shooting the gun. Most guns have either semi-automatic or manual actions; however, some firearms can be hybrids of these two types.
What Are The Two Basic Styles Of Firearm Actions?
What are the two basic styles of firearm actions? The two primary types of firearm actions are semi-automatic and manual. Let’s look at each one in greater detail:
Semi-Automatic Firearm Action
Semi-automatic firearms utilize the energy from firing a single round to reload and rechamber a new cartridge with each pull of the trigger. This means that as long as the trigger is pulled and pressure is applied, the gun will continuously fire a series of rounds until all ammunition has been discharged. Examples of this type of action include the AR-15, AK-47 and Glock pistols.
Manual Firearm Action
Manual firearms require more physical input from the user to load ammo into the chamber before each shot can be fired. Common examples include lever-action rifles, pump-action shotguns and bolt-action rifles. All these firearms require the user to manually operate a lever, slide or pump before being able to shoot again. Therefore, they are typically slower in terms of rate of fire compared to semi-automatic counterparts.
How Firearm Action Work?
Semi-automatic firearms are the most widely used type. To fire a semi-automatic gun, the user only needs to pull the trigger once for each shot. The recoil or gas from firing a single round reloads the next bullet into the chamber and prepares for another shot with each trigger pull. As long as bullets remain in the magazine, it is possible to continue firing without having to manually reload. Semi-automatics are typically used for sport shooting, plinking (casual target practice), self-defense and hunting.
In contrast, manual actions require more physical input from the user. Lever action rifles use a lever to load cartridges, pump action shotguns use a slide to chamber rounds and bolt-action rifles require the user to manually pull a handle back each time they want to fire. Manual actions are typically seen in hunting or competition shooting where accuracy is critical and speed of fire is not as important.
What Are The Pros And Cons Of Semi-Automatic Firearms?
Semi-automatic firearms offer a number of advantages and disadvantages. On one hand, they are relatively easy to use compared to manual actions and require less physical input for each shot. This makes them well-suited for sport shooting, plinking, self defense and hunting applications. On the other hand, semi-automatics can be more prone to jamming and misfires than manual actions, so it is important to keep them well maintained. Additionally, they are generally more expensive and require a higher degree of gun safety knowledge as compared to other types of firearms.
What Are The Pros And Cons Of Manual Firearms?
Manual firearms offer some advantages over semi-automatic rifles, such as greater accuracy and reliability. This makes them well-suited for hunting, target shooting, and in some cases home defense applications. However, they also require more physical input from the user when reloading and firing each round so they are slower than semi-automatics. Furthermore, they are typically more expensive than semi-automatic firearms due to their increased complexity.
Single Action Vs Double Action: Which Is Better?
After knowing what are the two basic styles of firearm actions? Single action and double action are terms used to describe how a firearm’s trigger works. In single action firearms, the trigger performs one function- releasing the hammer or striker to fire the round. In double action firearms, the trigger pulls back both the hammer or striker and releases it with each pull of the trigger. Single action is often seen in revolvers and double action is found in semi-automatic handguns.
Single action guns are generally more accurate because the trigger pull is shorter and lighter than that of double action guns. However, double action firearms offer the advantage of being able to fire multiple rounds without having to manually reset the hammer or striker each time. Ultimately, choosing between single and double action depends on your preference as well as the type of shooting activity you are engaging in.
Factors To Consider When Selecting A Type Of Firearm Action
When selecting a type of firearm action, there are several factors to consider. First, think about the types of shooting activities you plan on doing and choose an action that is well suited for those activities. For example, if you are mostly doing sport shooting or plinking then a semi-automatic might be more suitable than a manual one. Also consider how often you plan on shooting, the cost of ammunition and maintenance requirements for each type of action. Finally, make sure to read up on local gun laws to ensure you are compliant with any restrictions that may apply.
Tips On Maintaining Your Firearm Action
No matter which type of firearm action you choose, it is important to keep your gun well maintained in order to ensure its reliability and safety. It is especially important to clean and inspect semi-automatic firearms after each use since they tend to be more prone to jamming than manual actions. Additionally, make sure any additional parts such as trigger springs or pins are lubricated regularly and that all nuts and screws are securely tightened. Following these basic maintenance tips will help ensure your firearm remains in tip-top shape for years to come.
Safety Considerations When Handling Firearms
It is important to always practice gun safety when handling any type of firearm. This includes keeping the gun pointed in a safe direction, keeping your finger off the trigger until you are ready to shoot and making sure all ammunition is securely stored separate from the firearm. Additionally, make sure to wear eye and ear protection when shooting and never handle a firearm while under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Following these safety guidelines will help ensure you and those around you remain safe when enjoying your firearms.
Common Mistakes When Maintaining Your Firearm Action
The most common mistake when maintaining a firearm action is not cleaning and inspecting it regularly. Semi-automatic firearms should be cleaned and inspected after each use, while manual actions can typically go longer between cleanings. Additionally, make sure to lubricate any additional parts such as trigger springs or pins and keep all nuts and screws securely tightened. Finally, practice gun safety at all times and never handle a firearm while under the influence of alcohol or drugs. By avoiding these common mistakes, you can ensure your firearm remains reliable and safe for years to come.
Conclusion: what are the two basic styles of firearm actions
What are the two basic styles of firearm actions? In conclusion, there are two basic styles of firearm actions: manual and semi-automatic. Manual actions require more physical input from the user to load and fire each round, while semi-automatics typically offer faster rates of fire but can be more prone to jamming than their manual counterparts. Additionally, both types of firearms have advantages and disadvantages that should be considered before selecting one. Finally, it is important to follow all safety guidelines when handling firearms as well as properly maintain the action to ensure long-term reliability and performance.

Basic Pointers To Be Followed When Choosing For The Best Gun Holster
These days, due to the tremendous rise in the number of individuals who are into guns, there is also an increase in the demand for gun holsters. In this present day and time that we live in, there are now various kinds of gun holsters that we can choose from. However, with the way gun holsters come with different designs and styles, consumers may end up becoming confused on what they should choose among the options. Now, for you to be guided as you pick the best gun holster for the collection of guns you have, we present to you this article containing everything there is for you to know about.
One of the most important factors that must be taken into consideration when choosing a good gun holster is the materials used for making the holster itself. Now, if you are going to be keen about the materials being used when creating the gun holster, you must first know that they are traditionally made for the purpose of holding a gun when it is not being used. In addition to that, we also want you to know that gun holsters are oftenly seen hung near the waist of the user as this is their way to easily pull the gun out when they are about to use it and put it back after or when they are not.
And because of this, you really have to give importance to the materials that are used when creating the holster. It is of utmost importance on your end to guarantee that the gun holster will remain its shape, no matter how many times they are used. With regards to matters concerning the materials used for gun holsters, one of the most popular and commonly suggested is the leather because leather is known for its durability and long-lastingness. And also, leather are known for being pliable and stiff too. You may say during the initial fitting that leathers are too tight to wear but, that is only because of the natural fibers it possess and later on, you will see how the leather adjusted to the form and the shape of your gun in such a manner that you will think the gun holster you choose is specifically made for your gun.
Furthermore, given proper treatment, maintenance and care, you will see how the leather gun holster you have will age gracefully.
Another important aspect of choosing the right gun holster that you must take into consideration is choosing one that works best for you and your gun. As much as possible, you must choose a design for gun holster that suits the kind of gun you have so that you will not have a problem using it and keeping it.

A lot of banter is going on in this new push for more restrictive gun control laws and some of the words being used are down right confusing to the common man and woman on the street. As one of those people who like to use logic and reason to solve the world's problems, I prefer to work with labels that have specific, commonly accepted definitions and have limited parameters as to where and when they can be applied. In that regard to this situation let me put forth this short glossary of applicable terms. This list is ordered upon the importance of the term and not alphabetically.
Automatic Fire - After the first round has been manually loaded into the chamber, the shooter pulls or squeezes the trigger firing that first round. The firearm then "automatically" ejects the spent casing, strips another round from the magazine, loads it into the chamber, and then fires that round. This will continue until the shooter releases the trigger or the magazine runs dry (Fully-Automatic), or until a predetermined number of shots have occurred, usually three (Burst Fire).
Semi-automatic Fire - Similar to Automatic Fire except that the weapon stops after reloading the chamber with another round. There is only one shot per pull of the trigger by the shooter.
Selective Fire - A switch, lever, or some other device that is built into the weapon that allows the the shooter to choose between Automatic Fire, Semi-automatic Fire, or Safe.
Safe or Safety - a device built into most firearms that blocks the weapon from firing if the shooter chooses to engage it.
Semi-Automatic Only Firearm - A firearm that is limited by the manufacturer to only fire in a Semi-automatic Fire mode when the Safety is not engaged.
Magazine - The component of a firearm for the storage of ammunition that will be accessible to fire. Most used today are the Detachable Box Magazines that allow for quick reloads.
Main Battle Rifle - A rifle capable of Selective Fire that is longer than a meter and fires a heavy bullet (150 - 180 grains) from a full-length rifle cartridge. The best example of a Main Battle Rifle (MBR) would be the U.S. M-14. It fired the .308 Winchester/7.62 mm x 51mm NATO cartridge and used Detachable Box Magazines (commonly 20 round capacity). The Springfield Armory M-1A is a Semi-automatic Only copy of the M-14 and because it is not capable of Selective-Fire, it should not be regarded a "tool for soldiers only."
Assault Rifle - A rifle capable of Selective Fire that is a meter or shorter in length and fires a heavy bullet (120 - 150 grains) from a cartridge with a smaller casing and reduced powder charge than that used in a MBR. It also commonly has a pistol-shaped grip for handling the weapon with just one hand for the occasions that this might be necessary. The best example of an Assault Rifle is the Soviet/Russian AK-47. It fired the 7.62 mm x 39 mm ammunition from a Detachable Box Magazine (commonly 30 round capacity). The Semi-automatic Only versions sold on the civilian market are not Assault Rifles because they are not capable of Selective Fire and should not be considered "weapons of war."
Light Battle Rifle - A rifle capable of Selective Fire that is a meter or shorter in length and fires a light bullet (50 - 75 grains) from a cartridge with a small casing and reduced powder charge. Like the Assault Rifle, it commonly has a pistol-shaped grip and uses Detachable Box Magazines. Because of their light ammunition, these weapons are considered to be optimally suited for urban combat operations. The best example is the U.S. M-16/M-4 family of weapons firing the .223 Remington/5.56 mm NATO ammunition. The Semi-automatic Only versions of these, like the Colt AR-15, are neither Light Battle Rifles or Assault Rifles and should not be "relegated only to the battlefield."
Pistol - A Semi-automatic Only firearm designed to used by the shooter in a single hand. These fire low-powered cartridges that are suited only for personal protection in close quarters combat. They also have pistol-shaped grips (which should go without saying) and operate with Detachable Box Magazines. The best example would be the Beretta M-92 which is used by law enforcement agencies across the U.S. and around the world. These are not Assault Rifles as they are not even rifles.
Now the one term you have not seen me define is "Assault Weapon" and the main reason for that is because it cannot be defined. It is a meaningless, political term meant to encompass any and everything the person brandishing it intends to include. It also obscures any attempt at statistical analysis of crime data in regards to the use of these weapons. They don't want any limits on it. It's like that old saying about Art but altered to, "I may not know a thing about firearms or crime, but I know what words scare the most people and get them to react."
An assault is a physical action that only animated creatures can engage in and not, by definition alone, inanimate objects. People can use any type of weapon to commit an assault. My walking cane could be considered an "Assault Weapon" since it has features carved into it that make it more handy as a tool for self-defense. But the main reason these folks use an undefinable term is because they don't want you to think; they want you to "feeeel."
They want you to feel sorrow for the victims of these murders. They want you to feel fear that the same thing might happen to you. They want you to feel anger at these firearms and those who lawfully own them. They know that the human brain is wired to react more quickly on emotion rather than the application of rational thought.
There are two camps for those anal-retentive types that want to inflict these restrictions on the American people. The first are the immature idiots (that adjective could be considered redundant) of the Media/Entertainment industries that are probably reacting emotionally themselves (like this one and this one and this one). "Uncle Joe" would consider these people "useful." The second group is those politician/government types that participate in a fascist conspiracy to subjugate the American people to their version of a totalitarian police state (like this one and this one and this one and especially this one for this reason). These folks are the epitome of evil.
They've had nearly a century to disarm the people when they held majority power in the halls of the U.S governments, if they truly believed these laws would be beneficial to America, but they've decided to work incrementally, waiting for one tragic crime after another to sway public opinion in their favor. They have even facilitated these tragedies by passing laws that created Gun-Free Zones that leave the disarmed citizens that pass through them as a target-rich environment for a madman to make a name for himself by wreaking his carnage upon these innocent people.
The pendulum of public opinion has now swayed in their favor once again and there are those who suggest that pro-liberty and gun-rights proponents like myself should throw in the towel and concede to being disarmed in the name of protecting the children. By my study of the past I have a good idea of the future and what I see coming for America is a living Hell on Earth. So for the sake of my children and grandchildren, I will continue to write on. The stakes are just too damn high...

Colorado Parks and Wildlife Commission Defeats Lead Ammunition Petition
On November 13th, during the scheduled Colorado Parks and Wildlife Commission meeting, the Commission members voted to protect the use of traditional lead ammunition for all sporting purposes. The Commission rejected a citizen petition filed by a Broomfield resident who requested a total ban of traditional ammunition made with lead components. Safari Club International joined a number of our colleagues in sending a letter to the Commission opposing this poorly conceived idea. Traditional lead ammunition used by hunters has not been scientifically proven to harm to wildlife populations or pose health risks to humans. The available evidence is overwhelmingly clear that traditional ammunition containing lead is still the best and least expensive form of ammunition. Any arbitrary ban on traditional ammunition would be misguided and sidestep the scientific process of the Colorado Parks and Wildlife Commission.
In fact, banning traditional lead ammunition would adversely impact wildlife conservation funding. Had the Colorado Parks and Wildlife Commission not denied this frivolous petition, the cost of ammunition would have skyrocketed while hunter participation fell due to excessive costs. Banning traditional ammunition indicates that higher ammunition prices will keep sportsmen and women out of the field, resulting in fewer license sales and decreased revenue for the Colorado Department of Natural Resources.
SCI is thankful for all the SCI Colorado members who helped protect traditional ammunition use for their fellow sportsmen and women.
