Two companies have developed two systems to neutralize quadcopters: DroneGun disrupts frequencies, while SkyWall100 throws a wraparound net into the air
Drones have become massively popular in recent years, mainly due to the ease with which they can be guided. Moreover, it only takes a few hundred euros to buy a quadricopter online with good range and reliability.
This proliferation, however, can pose a danger to people's safety. Starting with privacy, which is easily violated by a drone. Some countries, for example, have taken action to protect the privacy of citizens, blocking by law the use of drones in public, as in the case of Sweden. In other situations, these technological tools pose even greater threats. Drones, unfortunately, can be equipped with weapons and explosives and used by criminals and terrorists. To cope with this problem, some companies have developed advanced anti-drone systems, capable of neutralizing quadcopters.

Among the solutions made available by technology to safely shoot down drones, we find DroneGun and SkyWall100. The first one, which was made by the company DroneShield, is a device that nullifies the signals of the aircraft - including the GPS - using a jammer, that is, a frequency jammer that blocks the communication between the drone and its pilot. DroneGun does not destroy the drone, but forces it to land or return to where it started. One of the most important features of the anti-drone system is given by the range of coverage: DroneGun, in fact, can block drones flying up to 2 kilometers away. In addition, the tool can also be used to pinpoint the location of the pilot.

SkyWall100 is reminiscent of a traditional weapon in some ways. Unlike DroneGun, the system developed by British company OpenWorks Engineering uses a special projectile to neutralize the threat coming from above. Drones are, in fact, hit by an object that sets off a net that wraps around and shoots down the quadcopter. Everything depends on the SmartScope, a digital telescope that calculates the launch angle and the speed needed to reach the target. Once the target is located, the SmartScope starts beeping and flashing green. At this point, all the pilot has to do is pull the trigger.


Tales from the Inner Sea
The Lady's Grace
A perfectly balanced rapier with a strong yet stylish guard and pommel, a blade with strange natural swirls marked upon its shimmering blade. The light makes the blade have a rose or cyan coloured hue depending on how the light catches it.
This weapon imparts a +5 to both Attack and Parry due to its great balance, damage of 1d6 +3 due to its incredibly sharp and keen edge and 10 Armour Points instead of 8 due to the sturdyness and cleverness of the guard.
It has a clever cross quillon guard reinforced with a light oval, a pommel and grip made with lambs leather and a blade that has unusual swirling patterns along its length. The blade shows different colours, with either a rose or cyan coloured hue depending upon the light reflecting on the blade. It’s balance is flawless and when wielded it almost feels like an extension of your hand and wrist.
Tycho the Smith created this weapon as an order for Bucephala. Tycho declares it to be the best weapon he has ever made, a singularily marvellous masterpiece. He said that over the last few nights he had been somewhat driven to complete this weapon, and he has no idea how the metal of the blade has taken on this colour or the swirling whorls of pattern along the length of the blade, for it was not something he has allowed or designed for. He feels the name “The Lady’s Grace” somehow best suits the weapon, though he knows no reason why he should call it that. He is proud of his achievement, and it bears his mark at the base of the blade.

Gunpowder and firearms have probably been the most significant factors in the destiny of nations until recent times and the advent of the Nuclear Age. From the fifteenth century onwards modes of warfare were seldom static, and improveÂ¬ments in firearms naturally lead to new battlefield tactics. Even in civilian life the swords carried as a part of everyday attire by the rich and influential gradually gave way to the precision made weapons of the leading gunmakers, destined a priori for the purpose of satisfying a gentlemans honour. The text sets out to trace the firearm from its uncertain beginnings as a hand cannon or hand gonne through the development of more efficient ignition systems – matchlock, wheel lock, snap-haunce, flintlock and finally percussion which heralded the dawning of the age of the modern firearm.
The colour illustrations show not only the plain efficient weapons of the military but also the elaborately decorated civilian weapons of all shapes, uses and sizes from fowling pieces to pocket pistols and from hunting rifles to revolvers. Both layman and collector will find this a fascinating survey of the most effective weapons ever invented.
Robert Wilkinson-Lathams family connection with Wilkinson Sword Ltd., ensured his interest in guns from an early age. Founded in 1772 by Henry Nock, one of the most noted and advanced gunmakers of his time, WilkinÂ¬son Sword made firearms for military and civilian use part of their business operation until the 1880s and retailed sporting guns, revolvers and rifles until the beginning of the Second World War.

Recently, one of the largest events in the world of armaments and military equipment took place in Istanbul – the 15th International Exhibition of the Defense Industry IDEF-2021.
As the Chairman of the Subcommittee on Defense Industry and Technical Modernization of the Verkhovna Rada’s Committee on National Security, Defense and Intelligence, I was the member of the official Ukrainian delegation headed by the Vice Prime Minister of Ukraine – Minister for Strategic Industries of Ukraine Oleh Urusky, and had the opportunity to get acquainted with the world's modern defense technologies and systems in various sectors of the defense industry, the latest developments in military equipment offered for export to world weaponry markets, including products of leading Turkish companies – ASELSAN, Roketsan, TAI, TEI, STM.
During the signing of the contract with the Turkish side on the establishment of a powerful modern helicopter overhaul service center, I was once again convinced that our fruitful cooperation is in the strategic interests of Ukraine-Turkey.
Within the framework of the joint exposition of Ukroboronprom, the enterprises of the Ukrainian defense industry demonstrated their military capabilities by presenting to the world community their products: Scif anti-aircraft missile system, Vilkha missile, Kvitnyk-E laser guided projectile, cruise missile R-360 "Neptune", a model of a composite floating dock project 1760KR with a submarine, a missile boat "Bogomol" project 58208 and a multifunctional boat "Kaira-150", developed by SE "Research and Design Center for Shipbuilding" from Mykolaiv, and other models of weapons.
During the meeting with the Deputy Minister of Industry and Technology of the Republic of Turkey, Dr. Çetin Ali Dönmez, the President of the Turkish Scientific and Technical Research Council TÜBİTAK, Professor Hassan Mandal and the CEO of Baykar Makina – Haluk Bayraktar, a number of joint agreements were reached on the effectiveness of a number of ongoing projects and outlined the necessary steps for harmonization and development of bilateral cooperation.
We also agreed with the Turkish side on the joint development of our countries' capabilities in the aviation and space industries, in particular on the construction of aircraft engines, joint use of outer space, creation of rocket carriers and satellite platforms, etc.
Within the framework of parliamentary cooperation, we talked about improving Ukrainian legislation in the areas of defense procurement, investment and offset policy in order to remove obstacles and create favorable conditions for the organization of military cooperation with other countries.

There is a trend in Call of Duty War zone that at least one newly added Battle Pass weapon an absolute monster and the War zone Meta accepts. In Season 1 of War zone Pacific this was no different, and the Cooper Carbine assault rifle quickly became a firm favorite among the players.
Although it was made quickly by some nerfs, it is still a viable AR and one of the best War zone weapons in Battle Royale. It also filled a void that was left by the previously overwhelming Automaton War zone PC Player 24, which was heavily nerfed at about the same time as the Cooper.
But how to best set up and use this versatile assault rifle and the best Cooper Carbine create War zone equipment? What implements you need to transform into a laser beam, and what other pieces of equipment you should choose to form a great class?
We have developed in our opinion, currently the most powerful Cooper carabiner PC player 24 in the game.
Cooper Carbine War zone PC Player 24
So we have set up our Best Cooper Carbine War zone PC Player 24 for War zone Pacific Season 1:
Drum: 22 Cooper Custom
Appearance: G16 2.5x
share Cooper 45W
underflow: M1941 hand stop
Journal: 9 mm 60 round drums
Rear handle: leather handle
Advantage 1: Get a grip
Advantage 2: Fully charged
While the loss figures for the Cooper carbine the best are barely in its class, this build aims instead to increase your rate of fire and accuracy to ensure that you make every shot and still achieve rapid time to kill.
The real stars of this build are the tight grip advantage that offers you a ridiculous recoil control with sustained fire, which transforms him like vending machine in a laser, and the 60-round magazine, which you more balls and more fire lends rate while it still helps to recoil control.
Elsewhere, the extended ammunition increases your bullet velocity significantly and leather handle improves your ADS-speed.
This Cooper Carbine build is not the hardest hitter, but he is currently one of genauesten AR’s in War zone.
Cooper Carbine War zone PC Player 24 secondary
Since the Cooper Carbine is designed in this class for long-haul, you want an SMG as a secondary device for dogfighting. Since the Cooper can blow balls, it is also worth an SMG with a decent magazine to have, you can pull out rather than wait for your reloads Cooper.
We think that the best choice for the job of MP40 is, and find the perfect build in our MP40 War zone PC Player 24 guide.
Cooper Carbine War zone PC Player 24 perks and power equipment
For the advantages in this class we recommend Double Time, Overkill and Combat Scout. Since the Cooper Carbine lacks the damage numbers of some of his colleagues AR, enemies can sometimes get away with a remaining health. Combat Scout allows you and your squad to keep an eye on them so that you can take out a few shots before they have a chance to heal.
In terms of equipment, we recommend throwing knives to downcast enemies to eliminate fast, and a heartbeat sensor. Replace this Stun grenades from when you play Vanguard Royale where heartbeat sensors are prohibited.
There you have it, then, our favorite PC Player 24 from Cooper Carbine Warzone Pacific Season 1 Give it a try and let us know what you think of this deadly accurate assault rifle.

Beretta Cheetah Model 84BB Review
For perhaps a decade and a half I had gone unarmed. Having grown up in rural Southeastern United States, I had been exposed to the many varieties and applications of firearms. The recent absence of firearms in my home had not been a result of any discomfort with the instruments, but rather – quite to the contrary – being a man of modest means, a function of budget. With the growing dangers in our local communities and unrest in the international community, I bore my lack of arms with increased thoughtfulness. Or perhaps it was my own maturity, my increasing awareness of current events and of history, coupled with an intense love of the spouse and children in my charge which compelled me to once again pursue my God given right to bear arms.
Whatever the case, it was time to rearm myself, and to become reacquainted with the sport of shooting that I had sorely missed for so many years.
The process began with research – lots of research. It is a step I would encourage anyone unfamiliar with current production firearms not to skip. I familiarized myself with calibers and their capabilities, compared shapes, sizes and weights, and read all the reviews and articles I could get my hands on. For this process, I found my access to the Internet to be indispensable. Next, I went to one of my favorite gun shops that had a firing range. They offered an array of firearms that I could handle and fire, helping me to narrow down my choices.
I was in search of a handgun suitable for my needs – small in size, easy to carry, and functional for personal protection at my home, as well as away. I wanted something that I would enjoy for range practice and plinking – with an affordable price and chambered for an affordable round. In short, I was in search of the ideal “first” firearm.
I settled on a .380 caliber pistol. I won’t go into the endless debate on caliber here. Let me say only that with the premium rounds available today the .380 (sometimes called 9mm short, 9mm Browning or 9mm Kurz) is considered by many to be sufficient for civilian carry or law enforcement backup. While heavier calibers are available in today’s compact frames, this little brother to the 9mm NATO round is certainly no peashooter.
The variety of firearms chambered in this caliber almost boggles the mind. What I found was the Beretta Cheetah. This model 84BB – not Beretta’s latest model, but still in production along with current revisions – sat in my dealer’s “Try and Buy” case and nearly called my name as I picked it up. The story went that it was one of a collection brought in by a lady whose dear husband had passed on. Having no idea what to do with her late husbands firearms, she offered the collection up for a fair price. I relay the story now because such was the dealer’s fondness of the memory that rather than feeling guilt at gaining from the good lady’s misfortune, I relish the bit of humanity attached to the pistol now in my possession.
My Cheetah is in one of several configurations: Blued four inch fixed barrel, white dot sights, double stack, thirteen round magazine and factory hardwood grips. The Beretta has a reversible magazine release, ambidextrous safety toggle, magazine safety, and ribbed for and back straps. I found the white dots to be highly visible and was able to quickly acquire my target. The wooden grips add some substance to the stock without being too thick, and formed comfortably to my hand. I would later find the same to be true under fire as well.
On my first outing with the Cheetah I bought two boxes of the ranges ammunition, a remanufactured brand with which I was unfamiliar. They grouped adequately enough and served to allow me to settle in with the pistol. Beginning at twenty feet or so, I began to touch off the first magazine. With no great concern as to my accuracy I was able to place grapefruit-sized groups onto the target while getting a feel for the new gun. I was intrigued by the pistol’s accuracy and steadied myself for some controlled shots. My groups tightened up amazingly! Near the end of my first box I was able to group my shots inside the size of a tennis ball, with a few wide single holes. The fixed sights were right on point of aim for the practical distance at which I was shooting. At twenty to twenty-five yards my groups opened up considerably, as might be expected, but still impressive for a handgun of this type. I am quite sure that someone who is a better shot could achieve superior results.
Regrettably, after the second box I had to leave. However, I did stop by the cashier, of course to return the gun and say that I would take it. (Interesting procedure, that.) I filled out the appropriate forms so that my government could check to see that I was in fact fit to possess a firearm, and went home. I returned a week later armed with 100 rounds of Winchester 85 grain Silvertip HP’s, twenty-five rounds of Federal 90 grain JHP’s, and another box of my dealer’s range specialty. The range ammunition grouped similarly as before, while the Winchester and Federal shot ever so slightly higher. I attribute this the lighter Winchester bullet and Federals hotter premium load. I also found my shots meandering to the right. This was easily remedied with an adjustment to my grip technique suggested by a range mate. Due to the Cheetah’s substantial all-metal frame and the comparatively mild .380 rounds, muzzle flip was minimal and I was able to rapidly reacquire my target after each subsequent shot. With a heft and balance characteristic of a much more expensive firearm, I found it to be a pleasure to shoot and extremely controllable.
Later trips to various ranges and with various loads have been equally satisfying. The Beretta Cheetah remains accurate, comfortable, and cool under fire. The only malfunction I have experienced was traced back to an aftermarket Mac-Gar magazine I purchased. The slightly lighter spring in the aftermarket intermittently fails to lock the Beretta’s slide open on the last round. Bordering a non-issue, this should be easily corrected with a replacement magazine spring. My Beretta has thus far greedily fed, chambered and ejected any round I have loaded – from hollow point ammunition to round nose; from CCI Blazer, Federal, Winchester, Magtech and PMC to unspecified bulk loads. While I have found favored rounds for accuracy, to the Cheetah hollow points and round nose bullets are created equal. I carry the modest .380 loaded with Federal’s 90 grain Hydra-Shok® JHP with supreme confidence.
The Beretta Cheetah sports a half-cock hammer position, lightening the initial double action trigger pull and relieving any pressure on the firing pin. The slide spring provides a rather heavy pull, in the neighborhood of twenty pounds or more. For this reason this configuration may be unsuited to those with weaker hand strength. Beretta has resolved the issue with a pop-up barrel configuration. Simply release and lift the barrel to access the chamber. The first round fired will chamber the next round and place the pistol into battery. I would recommend this gun to anyone who would like an affordable, compact pistol suitable for personal protection and loads of fun plinking in the field or at their favorite range. •Spike


WWI: Technology and the weapons of war

One of the saddest facts about World War I is that millions died needlessly because military and civilian leaders were slow to adapt their old-fashioned strategies and tactics to the new weapons of 1914. New technology made war more horrible and more complex than ever before. The United States and other countries felt the effects of the war for years afterwards.
The popular image of World War I is soldiers in muddy trenches and dugouts, living miserably until the next attack. This is basically correct. Technological developments in engineering, metallurgy, chemistry, and optics had produced weapons deadlier than anything known before. The power of defensive weapons made winning the war on the western front all but impossible for either side.
When attacks were ordered, Allied soldiers went “over the top,” climbing out of their trenches and crossing no-man’s-land to reach enemy trenches. They had to cut through belts of barbed wire before they could use rifles, bayonets, pistols, and hand grenades to capture enemy positions. A victory usually meant they had seized only a few hundred yards of shell-torn earth at a terrible cost in lives. Wounded men often lay helpless in the open until they died. Those lucky enough to be rescued still faced horrible sanitary conditions before they could be taken to proper medical facilities. Between attacks,the snipers, artillery, and poison gas caused misery and death.
Airplanes, products of the new technology, were primarily made of canvas, wood, and wire. At first they were used only to observe enemy troops. As their effectiveness became apparent, both sides shot planes down with artillery from the ground and with rifles, pistols, and machine guns from other planes. In 1916, the Germans armed planes with machine guns that could fire forward without shooting off the fighters’ propellers. The Allies soon armed their airplanes the same way, and war in the air became a deadly business. These light, highly maneuverable fighter planes attacked each other in wild air battles called dogfights. Pilots who were shot down often remained trapped in their falling, burning planes, for they had no parachutes. Airmen at the front did not often live long. Germany also used its fleet of huge dirigibles, or zeppelins, and large bomber planes to drop bombs on British and French cities. Britain retaliated by bombing German cities.
Back on the ground, the tank proved to be the answer to stalemate in the trenches. This British invention used American-designed caterpillar tracks to move the armored vehicle equipped with machine guns and sometimes light cannon. Tanks worked effectively on firm, dry ground, in spite of their slow speed, mechanical problems, and vulnerability to artillery. Able to crush barbed wire and cross trenches, tanks moved forward through machine gun fire and often terrified German soldiers with their unstoppable approach.
Chemical warfare first appeared when the Germans used poison gas during a surprise attack in Flanders, Belgium, in 1915. At first, gas was just released from large cylinders and carried by the wind into nearby enemy lines. Later, phosgene and other gases were loaded into artillery shells and shot into enemy trenches. The Germans used this weapon the most, realizing that enemy soldiers wearing gas masks did not fight as well. All sides used gas frequently by 1918. Its use was a frightening development that caused its victims a great deal of suffering, if not death.
Both sides used a variety of big guns on the western front, ranging from huge naval guns mounted on railroad cars to short-range trench mortars. The result was a war in which soldiers near the front were seldom safe from artillery bombardment. The Germans used super–long-range artillery to shell Paris from almost eighty miles away. Artillery shell blasts created vast, cratered, moonlike landscapes where beautiful fields and woods had once stood.
Perhaps the most significant technological advance during World War I was the improvement of the machine gun, a weapon originally developed by an American, Hiram Maxim. The Germans recognized its military potential and had large numbers ready to use in 1914. They also developed air-cooled machine guns for airplanes and improved those used on the ground, making them lighter and easier to move. The weapon’s full potential was demonstrated on the Somme battlefield in July 1916 when German machine guns killed or wounded almost 60,000 British soldiers in only one day.
At sea, submarines attacked ships far from port. In order to locate and sink German U-boats, British scientists developed underwater listening devices and underwater explosives called depth charges. Warships became faster and more powerful than ever before and used newly invented radios to communicate effectively. The British naval blockade of Germany, which was made possible by developments in naval technology, brought a total war to civilians. The blockade caused a famine that finally brought about the collapse of Germany and its allies in late 1918. Starvation and malnutrition continued to take the lives of German adults and children for years after the war.
The firing stopped on November 11, 1918, but modern war technology had changed the course of civilization. Millions had been killed, gassed, maimed, or starved. Famine and disease continued to rage through central Europe, taking countless lives. Because of rapid technological advances in every area, the nature of warfare had changed forever, affecting soldiers, airmen, sailors, and civilians alike.
A. Torrey McLean, a former United States Army officer who served in Vietnam, studied World War I for more than thirty years, personally interviewing a number of World War I veterans.

The Weapons and Technology of World War One
World War One brought about many new weapons and advancements in technology on both sides. Both took huge steps towards modern technology and these carried on even after the war had begun. Yet these weapons could not be of much advantage to one side for very long, because the other side immediately researched every new weapon introduced when it was found out. So whilst one side would be developing something new the other would be playing catch up or possibly coming in from another angle.
These advancements were made on all sides of the war; the air, the ground, and the sea, although I shall mainly be looking at the changes on the ground. Apart…show more content…
The idea was thought up by a British man in 1916 and they were first used in battle at of the Somme where forty-nine tanks were driven into battle unsuccessfully due to the lack of numbers. Yet in November 1917, 450 tanks rampaged through the enemy line causing havoc near Cambrai. Soon after that the Germans brought out their first tank, the "Schwerer Kampfwagen A7V" and instantly the race had begun to improve them. Here are pictures of the British Mark IV and the Schwerer Kampfwagen A7V, which were used in Cambrai and the Somme to blast through the enemy lines, capturing 800 of the enemy and 100 guns in the primary case.
These first tanks had only enough fuel to power them for 8-km due to the weight and bulk of them but since then they have been improved and now they can go for well over a hundred miles in one stretch.
The Machine Gun
The Machine Gun has claimed the most lives in World war One although this is only on hospital counts so the actual amount of people killed is not certain. However what is certain is that it was thought of as a massacre weapon and it certainly lived up to its name. Before the war, guns had to be manually loaded but in 1916 Hugo Schmeisser designed the Maschinen Pistole 1918 Bergmann which was brought in during the last few months of the war. This had a catastrophic effect on the war as did the Maxim machine-gun, which is


I personally prefer to use broadhead arrows when I hunt because I find they give me that extra edge I need. There is one thing I would like you to keep in mind before we go further and I tell you all about these arrows and how they help me: broadhead arrows are not for practice. They are strong, they cut through everything and they are used by hunters strictly for game hunting. So, if you are just looking for a type of arrow to use for practice, these ones are not for you. On the other hand, if you are interested in the most reliable type of arrows for making sure you put down your target, these are the best choice.
It goes through both tissue and bone
Hunting is a skill that cannot be learned overnight. Practicing may take a lot of time, and when you actually get down to do some actual hunting you find yourself mostly harassing the game you are after instead of being capable to deliver the killing blow. What I like about broadhead arrows is that they cut through both tissue and bone, which means that, with enough practice, it becomes easier to put down your prey without shooting arrow after arrow and causing unnecessary suffering to the animal.
There are two types: fixed blade and mechanical
Here is another thing you need to know about these arrows. They come in two types, called fixed blade and mechanical, each one with its ups and downs, so I will explain them to you right away. Fixed blade broadhead arrows have the downside that you must always have your bow perfectly tuned. Even the slightest imbalance will cause the arrow to overshoot, so it becomes fairly easy to miss your target. On the upside, these are very sturdy and reliable and they are better when penetrating through bone than their mechanical counterparts. The latter are easier to use by beginners, and you will not find such a hard time to land a shot. If you notice mechanical broadhead arrows flying through the air just like point field arrows, this happens because this is what they do. As the blades open only on impact, there is little air resistance they need to overcome, which is why they behave this way. An upside of these arrows is that the expanded blades cause quite the damage, and blood trails, so you can easily take after your game, once you landed a single shot.


For both professional law enforcement officers and responsible gun owners, ensuring accurate target acquisition and shot placement during nighttime shooting scenarios is of paramount importance. To address this critical need, the market offers a range of Glock addons, with night sights standing out as one of the most effective solutions. These innovative enhancements significantly improve shooting performance in low-light conditions, providing users with increased confidence and accuracy. Night sights are specialized gun sights equipped with luminescent elements that glow in the dark. This illumination is usually powered by tritium, a radioactive isotope of hydrogen, or by photoluminescent paint that stores light and emits it gradually. The primary advantage of night sights lies in their ability to offer a clear and easily visible sight picture even in pitch-black environments. Whether you are a law enforcement officer patrolling the streets at night or a civilian defending your home in the dark, the addition of night sights to your Glock can make a world of difference.
When compared to traditional iron sights, Glock Addons allow for rapid target acquisition in low-light conditions. The bright glowing dots on the front and rear sights provide a clear contrast against the target, enabling shooters to quickly align their sights and engage accurately. This feature is especially crucial in high-stress situations, where split-second decisions can determine the outcome of an encounter. Moreover, night sights are not affected by external light sources, making them reliable and consistent in various lighting conditions. Unlike traditional sights, which may become challenging to see in dim environments or cast shadows in specific angles, night sights ensure that the shooter’s focus remains on the target at all times. Another advantage of Glock night sights is their long lifespan. Tritium-based night sights can maintain their luminosity for several years, often up to a decade, before requiring replacement. This longevity guarantees that the investment in these addons pays off in the long run, providing countless hours of enhanced shooting performance.
Installing night sights on your Glock is a straightforward process, and they are available for various Glock models, including the popular Glock 17, Glock 19, and Glock 26. Many manufacturers offer a wide selection of night sights, allowing shooters to choose the sight configuration that best suits their preferences and shooting style. In conclusion, Glock addons with night sights provide an invaluable advantage for shooters who find themselves in low-light or no-light shooting situations. The enhanced visibility and rapid target acquisition offered by these addons ensure increased confidence and accuracy when it matters most. Whether you are a professional tasked with safeguarding communities or a responsible civilian protecting your loved ones, investing in night sights for your Glock is a wise decision that can significantly improve your nighttime shooting capabilities. Remember always to practice safe and responsible firearm handling, and consider seeking professional training to optimize your shooting skills in all conditions.

Recently, the government has given green signal for the manufacture of eighty-three homegrown Tejas Mk-1A Light Combat aircraft by Hindustan Aeronautics Limited whose worth is close to Rs. 60,000 crores. This would be amongst the largest ever deals the government has sanctioned for the domestic arms sector in recent times and will act as a huge boost for the government’s Make in India defense manufacturing program. It is also said to be the biggest confirmation for the Tejas fighter which has been in the process of development for more than three decades and entered Squadron Service with the Indian Air Force just last year.
As of now, the first Tejas squadron of the Indian Air Force is running five Tejasfighter jets known as IOC or the Initial Operating Capability configuration. This variant does not have the full-scale capabilities as expected by the Air Force. Another fifteen jets in this configuration are currently on the assembly line. An additional twenty jets are in FOC or Final Operating Configuration will be manufactured once the fighter jets completes a series of protracted trials that are now being undertaken.
The Air Force intends to acquire three specific advancements as compared to the jet presently being operated of the Mk-1A variant which will operate as the state of the art AESA or Active Electronically Scanned Phased Array radar and will be the heart of theTejas Mk-1 jet. It is likely be acquired from Elta of Israel or Thales of France which has improved electronic warfare capability including a jammer to confuse the radars of enemy jets.The two main competitors for this deal are Lockheed Martin of the US and Gripen International of Sweden who are are pitching their F-16 Block 70 and Gripen E/F fighters respectively. But, the government’s priority is Tejas as of now.

A cartridge or a round is a type of pre-assembled firearm ammunition packaging a projectile (bullet, shot, or slug), a propellant substance (usually either smokeless powder or black powder) and an ignition device (primer) within a metallic, paper, or plastic case that is precisely made to fit within the barrel chamber of a breechloading gun, for the practical purpose of convenient transportation and handling during shooting. Although in popular usage the term "bullet" is often informally used to refer to a complete cartridge, it is correctly used only to refer to the projectile.
Military and commercial producers continue to pursue the goal of caseless ammunition. Some artillery ammunition uses the same cartridge concept as found in small arms. In other cases, the artillery shell is separate from the propellant charge.
A cartridge without a projectile is called a blank; one that is completely inert (contains no active primer and no propellant) is called a dummy; one that failed to ignite and shoot off the projectile is called a dud; and one that ignited but failed to sufficiently push the projectile out of the barrel is called a squib.
The cartridge was invented specifically for breechloading firearms. Prior to its invention, the projectiles and propellant were carried separately and had to be individually loaded via the muzzle into the gun barrel before firing, then have a separate ignitor compound (from a slow match, a small charge of gunpowder in a flash pan, or a percussion cap) to set off the shot. Such loading procedures often require adding paper/cloth wadding and ramming down repeatedly with a rod to optimize the gas seal, and are thus clumsy and inconvenient, severely restricting the practical rate of fire of the weapon, leaving the shooter vulnerable to close combat (particularly cavalry charges) as well as complicating the logistics of ammunition.
The primary purpose of a cartridge is to offer a handy pre-assembled "all-in-one" package that is convenient to handle and transport, easily inserted into the breech (rear end) of the barrel, as well as preventing potential propellant loss, contamination or degradation from moisture and the elements. In modern self-loading firearms, the round also enables the action mechanism to use part of the propellant energy (carried by the cartridge itself) and cyclically load new rounds of ammunition to allow quick repeated firing.
To perform a firing, the round is first inserted into a "ready" position within the chamber aligned with the bore axis (i.e. "in battery"). While in the chamber, the cartridge case obturates all other directions except the bore to the front, reinforced by a breechblock or a locked bolt from behind, designating the forward direction as the path of least resistance. When the trigger is pulled, the sear disengages and releases the hammer/striker, causing the firing pin to impact the primer embedded in the base of the cartridge. The shock-sensitive chemical in the primer then creates a jet of sparks that travels into the case and ignites the main propellant charge within, causing the powders to deflagrate (but not detonate). This rapid exothermic combustion yields a mixture of highly energetic gases and generates a very high pressure inside the case, often fire-forming it against the chamber wall. When the pressure builds up sufficiently to overcome the fastening friction between the projectile (e.g. bullet) and the case neck, the projectile will detach from the case and, pushed by the expanding high-pressure gases behind it, move down the bore and out the muzzle at extremely high speed. After the bullet exits the barrel, the gases are released to the surroundings as ejectae, and the chamber pressure drops back down to atmospheric level. The case, which had been elastically expanded by high pressure, contracts slightly, which eases its removal from the chamber when pulled by the extractor. The spent cartridge, with its projectile and propellant gone but the case still containing a used-up primer, then gets ejected from the gun to clear room for a subsequent new round.
While historically paper had been used in the earliest cartridges, almost all modern cartridges use metallic casing. The modern metallic case can either be a "bottleneck" one, whose frontal portion near the end opening (known as the "case neck") has a noticeably smaller diameter than the main part of the case ("case body"), with a noticeably angled slope ("case shoulder") in between, or a "straight-walled" one, where there is no narrowed neck and the whole case looks cylindrical. The case shape is meant to match exactly to the chamber of the gun that fires it, and the "neck", "shoulder", and "body" of a bottleneck cartridge have corresponding counterparts in the chamber known as the "chamber neck", "chamber shoulder", and "chamber body". Some cartridges, like the .470 Capstick, have what is known as a "ghost shoulder" which has a very slightly protruding shoulder, and can be viewed as a something between a bottleneck and straight-walled case. A ghost shoulder, rather than a continuous taper on the case wall, helps the cartridge to line up concentrically with the bore axis, contributing to accuracy. The front opening of the case neck, which receives and fastens the bullet via crimping, is known as the case mouth. The closed-off rear end of the case body, which holds the primer and technically is the case base, is ironically called the case head as it is the most prominent and frequently the widest part of the case. There is a circumferential flange at the case head called a rim, which provides a lip for the extractor to engage. Depending on whether and how the rim protrudes beyond the maximum case body diameter, the case can be classified as either "rimmed", "semi-rimmed", "rimless", "rebated", or "belted".
The shape of a bottleneck cartridge case (e.g. body diameter, shoulder slant angle and position, neck length) also affects the amount of attainable pressure inside the case, which in turn influences the accelerative capacity of the projectile. Wildcat cartridges are often made by reshaping the case of an existing cartridge.
In addition to case shape, rifle cartridges can also be grouped according to the case dimensions, which in turn dictates the minimal receiver size and operating space (bolt travel) needed by the action, into either "mini-action", "short-action", "long-action" ("standard-action"), or "magnum" categories.
The most popular material used to make cartridge cases is brass due to its good corrosion resistance. The head of a brass case can be work-hardened to withstand the high pressures, and allow for manipulation via extraction and ejection without rupturing. The neck and body portion of a brass case is easily annealed to make the case ductile enough to allow reshaping so that it can be handloaded many times, and fire forming can help accurize the shooting.
Steel casing is used in some plinking ammunition, as well as in some military ammunition (mainly from the former Soviet Union and China). Steel is less expensive to make than brass, but it is far less corrosion-resistant and not feasible to reuse and reload. Military forces typically consider service small arms cartridge cases to be disposable, single-use devices. However, the mass of the cartridges can affect how much ammunition a soldier can carry, so the lighter steel cases do have a logistic advantage. Conversely, steel is more susceptible to contamination and damage so all such cases are varnished or otherwise sealed against the elements. One downside caused by the increased strength of steel in the neck of these cases (compared to the annealed neck of a brass case) is that propellant gas can blow back past the neck and leak into the chamber. Constituents of these gases condense on the (relatively cold) chamber wall, and this solid propellant residue can make extraction of fired cases difficult. This is less of a problem for small arms of the former Warsaw Pact nations, which were designed with much looser chamber tolerances than NATO weapons.
Aluminum-cased cartridges are available commercially. These are generally not reloaded, as aluminum fatigues easily during firing and resizing. Some calibers also have non-standard primer sizes to discourage reloaders from attempting to reuse these cases.
As firearms are projectile weapons, the projectile is the effector component of the cartridge, and is actually responsible for reaching, impacting, and exerting damage onto a target. The word "projectile" is an umbrella term that describes any type of kinetic object launched into ballistic flight, but due to the ubiquity of rifled firearms shooting bullets, the term has become somewhat a technical synonym for bullets among the handloading crowds. The projectile's motion in flight is known as its external ballistics, and its behavior upon impacting an object is known as its terminal ballistics.
The oldest gun propellant was black gunpowder, a low explosive made from a mixture of sulfur, carbon and potassium nitrate, invented in China during the 9th century as one of Four Great Inventions, and still remains in occasional use as a solid propellant (mostly for antique firearms and pyrotechnics). Modern firearm propellants however are smokeless powders based on nitrocellulose and nitroglycerin, first invented during the late 19th century as a cleaner and better-performing replacement for black powder. Modern smokeless powder may be corned into small spherical balls, or extruded into cylinders or strips with many cross-sectional shapes using solvents such as ether, which can be cut into short ("flakes") or long pieces ("cords").
Modern primers are basically improved percussion caps with shock-sensitive chemicals (e.g. lead styphnate) enclosed in a small button-shaped capsule. In the early paper cartridges, invented not long after the percussion cap, the primer was located deep inside the cartridge just behind the bullet, requiring a very thin and elongated firing pin to pierce the paper casing. Such guns were known as needle guns, the most famous of which was decisive in the Prussian victory over the Austrians at Königgrätz in 1866. After the metallic cartridge was invented, the primer was relocated backward to the base of the case, either at the center of the case head (centerfire), inside the rim (rimfire), inside a cup-like concavity of the case base (cupfire), in a pin-shaped sideways projection (pinfire), in a lip-like flange (lipfire), or in a small nipple-like bulge at the case base (teat-fire). Today, only the centerfire and rimfire have survived the test of time as the mainstream primer designs, while the pinfire also still exists but only in rare novelty miniature guns and a few very small blank cartridges designed as noisemakers. 041b061a72

Yesterday’s New York Times investigative piece on chemical weapons found in Iraq is a bombshell of an article, but not for the reasons that many conservatives would have you believe.
As an article in today’s Salon and other publications point out, there are two very solid reasons why this revelation is not vindication for those who are crying, “Bush was right. Saddam did have chemical weapons.” The primary point to make is that the chemical weapons our military uncovered in Iraq were pre-1991, degraded chemical munitions that were buried during the Iraq-Iran war and forgotten about. These corroded weapons were not useable and definitely not part of an ongoing WMD program by the Iraqi government. Ironically, many of the weapons were built with the assistance of Western companies
The second point that should be clear to even the dimmest conservative pundit is that a number of these buried caches were found during our invasion of Iraq and after, yet there was not a peep about them from the Bush Administration. If they had found proof that Iraq actually had an active WMD program, don’t you imagine there would have been trumpets blaring and hearty rounds of “I told you so” from Bush and the right-wing media? The Pentagon has admitted that the chemical weapons they found, “Were not the WMDs we were looking for when we went in this time.”
And that brings me to the most disturbing revelation in the Times article. Not only were these weapons not “the WMDs we were looking for,” the Pentagon would not even acknowledge they were found at the time, and even went so far as to deny medical treatment for troops injured during the excavations. Instead of a ticker tape parade down Broadway celebrating the discovery of WMDs, the Pentagon was throwing a blanket over the operations and pretending the weapons didn’t even exist.
George Bush’s invasion of Iraq was a disaster that keeps on giving, and the more we learn about it, the clearer it becomes that this was the largest, and most costly, military blunder in U.S. history.


When ever you hear about war and the weapons used, one always assumes the weaponry used is manufactured in some western country. Africa is not generally known for producing weapons used in wars. Unbeknown to a lot of Africans, there are countries that aactually produce some weapons. Following is the list.
Developed out of the white apartheid regime desire to keep the South African Blacks under military repression, the South African arms industry is considered one of the most advanced in the non-Western world today, on par with fellow IBSA partners, India and Brazil. The wide-ranging locally-made weapons—some of which were categorized as crowd-control equipment—included transport and attack helicopters, armored personnel carriers, military trucks, internal security vehicles, assault rifles and hand guns.
Although weapons production has slowed considerably since the official end of apartheid, Pieter Wezeman, senior researcher, Arms Transfers Program at the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute, says the South African arms industry has advanced in a few niche areas such as certain light armored vehicles and anti-tank missiles. The country’s weaponry and other military equipment are in high demand in many countries throughout the world, from the United States to China, and from Sweden to Zambia.
A report released by Agence France-Presse (AFP) confirms that Ethiopia is home to perhaps one of the most powerful armies in Africa. Though weapon production began in the 1800s under Emperor Tewondros, today, the country also has a pretty lucrative industry pertaining to weapon production. Ethiopia produces small arms, rifles and grenades propelled by rockets. According to the AFP report, Ethiopia has a defense budget of roughly $400 million dollars.
According to an article composed by Joe Stork, the deputy director of Human Rights Watch’s Middle East and North Africa division, Egypt has been producing its own arms since the 1820s. Their products included “warships, artillery, rifles, bombs and ammunition.” And, while the country did see a temporary decline in weapon production, Egypt’s arms production began to rise after the second World War. The government established ammunition and small arms companies, as well as aircraft factories. Today, Egypt is one of the top weapon producers on the continent of Africa.
According to a 2013 essay entitled “History Of Locally Manufactured Weapons In Ghana History Essay,” Ghana has been producing weapons for hundreds of years. Pistols, shotguns and single-barrel guns are locally manufactured and “each of the 10 regions in Ghana houses gun-manufacturing workshops.” The Suame-Magazine area of Kumasi, located in the Ashanti region, is perhaps “one of the most established gun-manufacturing centers in Ghana.”
Established in 1997, the Kenya Ordnance Factories Corporation (KOFC), under the Ministry of State for Defense, is a corporation that manufactures small arms. In late 2012, South African company Osprea Logistics announced it was setting up a facility to assemble Mamba Mk 5 armored personnel carriers in Kenya, and aims to produce 100 in its first year of operation.
Nigeria manufactured weapons as early as the 1960s, due to the establishment of the DefenseIndustries Corporation (DIC). In fact, Nigeria developed its own version of the Automatic Kalashnikov 47 (AK47). The Director General of the Defense Industries Corporation of Nigeria (DICON) stated that “the Nigerian new rifle was named after Obasanjo because the president was the second sitting Head of State to visit DICON after General Yakubu Gowon.”
According to a report released by gunpolicy.org, Sudan established “at least three weapons factories outside of Khartoum.” While production began in 1959, the country saw an increase in production after the establishment of the Military Industry Corporation (MIC) in 1993. According to a 2014 article published by Radio Dabanga, the MIC produces ammunition, conventional weapons, armored vehicles and main battle tanks. The corporations also provides vehicles.
As early as the 4th century AD, the people in what is now called Tanzania specialized in producing tools and weapons. Today, according to the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute’sPolicy Paper No. 30, Tanzania’s Mzinga Corporation “reportedly had an annual production capacity of 7 million rounds.” In addition, a report released by gunpolicy.org states that the country “has small arms ammunition factories.”
In Namibia, Windhoeker MaschinenFabrik (WMF), under the Namibian Defense Force, “has manufactured small numbers of wheeled light-armored vehicles since 1977, including some for export,” according to Policy Pap No. 30. A post on wmf.com.na confirms that the company is“operating as a wholly owned commercial arm and subsidiary of the August 26 Holding Company (Pty) Ltd, an undertaking of the Ministry of Defense.”
According to research conducted by The Library of Congress, between 1870 and 1899, the king of Bunyoro, Kabarega, constructed a powerful army through the use of contemporary weapons, such as Remington rifles, percussion muskets and breech and muzzle loaders. The report fromgunpolicy.orgexpresses that today, Uganda “also has small arms ammunition factories.” There are at least three weapon manufacturers in the country.
Zimbabwe began producing some of its own weapons as early as World War II. Thegunpolicy.orgreports states that the Zimbabwe Defense Industry (ZDI), established by the Zimbabwe African National Union – Patriotic Front government in 1985, “erected two arms production factories with a dual status of being both a private company and a state enterprise.”

AR15 vs AK47: Is it Crony Capitalism or combat effectiveness?
Practical takes a back seat to profitable in the GWOT and everywhere but AmericaBy Scott Lambin, Evan Hafer and Jeff Kirkham
At this point you have probably figured out that everything we do is special interest in nature, specifically revolving around veterans, guns or both. Whether it be satirical, a side splitting music video or Evan giving an impromptu appendix draw tutorial with multiple platforms ranging from a Glock 17 to a M134 Mini gun to a highly lethal, shepherd puppy… who doesn’t love puppies?! The depth of our roster gives you guys and gals humor and informational articles just as fast as we take the slack out of a trigger to a surprise break. Part of what makes our blog one of the most unique on the Internet is our defiance of political correctness. We just don’t give a shit! If your feelings get hurt and get offended, you have chummed our waters, stand by to receive more of the same!
This 4-part article will ask the greatest question of modern day sporting rifles; what is better? AK or the AR? Both are villainized yet completely practical in their own respective realms. We shed light on our opinions and solicit the responses of yours. We will review both guns in a non-permissive environment where; the soviet gun was, and is still used against us. For the grand finale we will explain why exactly the most ridiculous idea on the planet was to issue indigenous warfighters M4s instead of their (for all intents and purpose) indigenous AK and why. We can tell you from experience it wasn't due to practical reasoning...but then again, is there such a thing these days?
The greatest debate in the gun world
For now, we're simply establishing a preference. What is your preferred assault STYLE rifle more commonly referred to as modern sporting rifle? Contrary to what hipster idiots think...unlicensed citizens cannot own, or possess a TRUE assault rifle. For those that read this that are shaking their heads. We are here to tell you that a scary black collapsible stock, detachable magazine and a pistol grip are not classifications of an assault rifle. The two main characteristics are how the firearm functions such as a shoulder fired weapon that has a barrel length shorter than 16" and the MAIN characteristic is the select fire capabilities. That simply means that if the gun expels more than one bullet with one squeeze of the trigger (fully automatic or burst) you have an assault rifle. Contrary to what hipsters and anti Americans think...those are facts stated by the BATFE
Ahhh those sweet floodgates have just been opened! This is an invite for you airsofters and keyboard commandos to chime in...sorry, MILSIM operators! Either way, AK…AR; perceived reliability or perceived accuracy and range? What makes each dominant over the other? Is there a correct answer? The proof is in the pudding with advantages of each system. Although less potent up close the M4 and AR15 has a max effective range of almost double what the stamped steel ammo eater does. Evan, Scott and Jeff all have different outlooks as to their opinions and outlooks on the which is best and why. Yes we can line up an AR and an AK at the same distance (greater than approximately 400 meters) and the AR or M4 will out perform in terms of accuracy and depending on the load; ballistics, BUT...accuracy is in the eye of the beholder. If you shoot like shit, neither will do you any good!
Just because a government issues one specific piece of gear, does not make it superior. The gear is issued because the means has to justify the end, no matter practicality, reliability or accuracy. There is no room for movement on any. The mighty dollar drives the train! It is what we have and cannot deviate from. So we take a group of indigenous dudes hand them a gun that they virtually have little to no experience with and expect them to turn in their AKs that is as common as the Red Rider BB gun in the US. There is a problem with that in itself because for some, we expect the same dudes with those weeks of training to stand along side of us while putting boot to ass. More to follow on that!
We as Americans like to use the handing out of government contracts as tangible past performance rather than how products actually perform. Those that have had a hand in that frivolous fraud waste and abuse will argue that those same contracts are "driving business" or "supporting our own economy" instead of the contrary. US companies would have been more than willing to design and produce an AK variant; with better parts, better craftsmanship and at a price tag that wouldn't have contributed to us having the leading roll in the shit show that we call our economy.


Me and my wife traveled up to Fort Donelson last weekend just outside Dover,TN. I must say it
was impressive. Check out the details of the battle here.
Here we have the massive 10" Columbiad Gun at the lower battery. This piece of artillery could fire a 128 pound projectile up to 3 miles down the river toward Union Ironclads. Very Impressive upclose!


When manufacturing knives and guns, you may automatically think of using metal as the primary material. However, the gun and knife industry can benefit significantly from using thermoset composite materials for certain components, notably handles and grips.
Atlas Fibre creates custom thermoset composite handles and grips from fabrication-ready precision blanks. Our composite materials help improve a gun or knife’s comfort, aesthetic appeal, and durability. We’ll work with you to keep your project on track and minimize costs.
The handle or grip of a knife or gun plays an important role in the product’s function. If a person can’t get a good grip on a knife, they may struggle to slice or chop food or other materials. A slippery grip reduces the knife’s safety, making cuts and slips more common.
The same is true of a gun’s grip or stock. It needs to be sturdy and comfortable to hold. Compared to other materials, such as metal or wood, composites like Micarta or G10 create a durable, comfortable grip.
Some additional benefits of using composite materials when manufacturing guns and knives include:
