CONTEMPORARY SUBMACHINEGUNS Submachineguns Are CONTEMPORARY SUBMACHINEGUNS Submachineguns are handguns capable of firing in automatic mode ligth ammo, generally designed for pistols. They appeared after WWI. it's between the hands of cops and gangsters that they became famous. Wolrd war II made their use common in a military purpose. The submachinegun became, before the assault rifle, the favourite weapon of the infantry man in contact with ennemy, who can only rely on the high rate of fire and the low dimensions of his weapon in an narrow environnement. Until the end of the century, submachineguns spread throughout security forces, especialy in dangerous situations. Elite groups like SWAT frequently use this kind of weapon, which fits well to situations where saving the life of the opponent is no longer a priority.

The AK-47, for example, is actually no more lethal than most other small arms in its class, but popular notoriety and Hollywood representations tend to credit it with superior power and lethality. Similarly, the bayonet actually killed relatively few men in World War I, but the sheer thought of an enraged foe bearing down on you with more than 30cm of sharpened steel was the stuff of nightmares to both sides. In some cases, however, fear has been perfectly justified. During both world wars, for example, artillery caused between 59 and 80 per cent of all casualties (depending on your source), and hence took a justifiable top slot in surveys of most feared tools of violence. The subjects of this book – the MG 34 and MG 42, plus derivatives – are interesting case studies within the scale of soldiers’ fears. Regarding the latter weapon, a US wartime information movie once declared that the gun’s ‘bark was worse than its bite’, no doubt a well-intentioned comment intended to reduce mounting concern among US troops about the firepower of this astonishing gun.

Explaining the Onset of Strategic State-Terrorist Negotiations A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in Political Science by Siobhan O’Neil 2014 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Dealing with the Devil? Explaining the Onset of Strategic State-Terrorist Negotiations by Siobhan O’Neil Doctor of Philosophy in Political Science University of California, Los Angeles, 2014 Professor Arthur Stein, Chair Statesmen are quick to declare that they will not negotiate with terrorists. Yet, the empirical record demonstrates that, despite statements to the contrary, many states do eventually negotiate with their terrorist challengers. My dissertation examines the circumstances under which states employ strategic negotiations with terrorist groups to resolve violent conflict. I argue that only when faced with a credible and capable adversary and afforded relative freedom of action domestically will states negotiate with terrorists. To test this theory, I use a multi-method approach that incorporates a cross- national study of all known strategic negotiations from 1968-2006 and three within-case studies (Israel, Northern Ireland, and the Philippines). Initial results suggest that negotiations are employed in about 13% of terrorist campaigns, certain types of groups are privileged, and negotiations only occur when statesmen can overcome domestic ii obstacles, namely public and veto player opposition.

  • TL7 Handguns
    Deep Web Secret Deep Web Secret Automatic Pistols These weapons use Guns(Pistol)/TL7 skill. AMT Automag .44 AutoMag (Holdout -2) AMT Original Automag: A large single action semi automatic weapon, this is the original Automag by Harry Sanford. When it was introduced in the seventies this was the first pistol to fire high powered magnum cartridges. Clint Eastwood takes a break from his .44 Magnum to use the .44 Automag in one of his Dirty Harry films. It has been out of production for close to two decades now, but after Harry Sanford died in early 1999 the AMT factory was sold off, and the new owners decided to run a limited series of original Automags in the .44 AMP caliber. These guns will be exact copies of the original guns. This may also mean that they will only function properly with full powered loads, and that some parts (most notably the extractor) will be somewhat fragile. Most likely these guns will seldom be fired anyway, as they are instant collectors items due to their reputation and their flashy, sleek and slightly futuristic looks. Should these guns be used they will look very intimidating and at the same time classy, combined with a lot of recoil... The Automag is a recoil operated pistol, is made entirely of stainless steel, and these new guns are of excellent quality, unlike some of the last pistols made in the seventies. They are very accurate. The magazine holds seven rounds of .44 AMP ammo. AMT Automag III (Holdout -2) A large single action semi automatic weapon, this is the brainchild of Harry Sanford, creator of the original automag.

  • Reising Revisited
    THE By Riley Diana REISING REVISITED ... In the arsenal of American submachine gun development is a weapon that has received less than it's fair share of written attention. Yet, what little material I could locate unfolds an interesting mixture of brutal criticism, curiosity, and admiration. This fascinating love-hate legacy manifests itself around the Reising MSO Reising Gun is an attractive well made American .45 ACP Cal. submachine gun submachine gun. An article written by developed for the Marine Corps early in World War II. William B. Edwards, published in May, 1963, GUN WORLD magazine, begins with "Among military armsmen, one of the most criticized weapons of the U.S. Forces was the submachine gun designed by Eugene G. Reising." Another article written some twenty years earlier in POPUIAR SCIENCE magazine, however, found the Reising gun to be "the answer to an ordnance officer's prayer." It is, by many of the recognized authorities of weapon development, respectfully characterized as "interesting, nove~ and ingenious in both operation and design." The history of the Reising gun began in 1940 with its design and patenting by Reising Gun field stripped clearly reveals the bolt in the locked position ready to fire, Eugene G. Reising. It was tested by the charging or action bar, 20 round magazine, and slotted stock for charging. Army Ordnance at Aberdeen, Maryland, accepted by the U.S. Marine Corps, and manufactured by the Harrington and Richardson Arms Company of Worchester, Massachusettes. Mass production began in late 1940 and ended in early 1945. During this period approximately 100,000 units were manufactured and the majority sold to the U.S.

  • Drive on Germany and Ending the War in Europe: a Material Culture Lesson Package by Kevin S
    Drive on Germany and Ending the War in Europe: A Material Culture Lesson Package By Kevin S. Malmquist This lesson of HI302, History of the Military Art, 1900-2013 covers a lot of ground, focusing on three primary areas: the Eastern Front from Operation Bagration to the Battle of Berlin, the Italian Front from the stalemate at the Gustav Line and Anzio to the capture of Rome and beyond, and the Western Front from Operation Overlord to the Battle of the Bulge and the end of the war in Europe. The focal point, as eluded to by the title of the lesson, is the Allied push on Germany from all fronts. As such, we have designed a material culture package to demonstrate to the Cadets what the Allies were facing as they made their way into Germany and to show them a few of the distinct types of troops they would have faced. The package includes three different uniforms and some of their respective equipment, including a Waffen-SS soldier, a Wehrmacht soldier, and a Volkssturm trooper. The Waffen-SS uniform coat includes an MP43 assault rifle (which later became the MP44 or StG44). The Wehrmacht uniform coat includes a Kar98k rifle, MP40 submachine gun, and an M24 stick grenade. The Volkssturm is represented by a generic wool overcoat and is displayed with a Panzerfaust and two Volkssturm guns, the Steyr VG-5 (VK98) and Gustloff Volkssturmgewehr (VG-1-5). This package is very flexible and can be set up The uniforms and equipment are arranged anywhere with sufficient space with consideration with the Waffen-SS on one side, the for the artifacts.

  • Detail Study of Bullet Being Fired from Gun
    Detail study of bullet being fired from gun DETAIL STUDY OF BULLET BEING FIRED FROM GUN Recoil of a Gun When a bullet is fired from a gun, the gases produced in the barrel exert a tremendous force on the bullet (action force). As a result, the bullet moves forward with a great velocity called the muzzle velocity. The bullet at the same time exerts an equal force on the gun in the opposite direction (reaction force). Due to this the gun moves backwards. This backward motion of the gun is called the recoil of the gun. The velocity with which the gun moves backwards is called the recoil velocity. Recoil of Gun Let 'M' be the mass of the gun and m that of the bullet. Before firing both are at rest. After firing let 'V' be the velocity of the gun and 'v' that of the bullet. By law of conservation of linear momentum, Initial momentum of gun and bullet = final momentum of gun and bullet. The initial momentum of the gun and the bullet is equal to zero since they are initially at rest. Final momentum after firing = M*V + m*v = 0 [The negative sign indicates that the gun is recoiling] Long recoil operation Key for recoil operation diagrams. Block diagram of long recoil operation cycle. Long recoil operation is found primarily in shotguns, particularly ones based on John Browning Auto-5 action. In a long recoil action, the barrel and bolt remain locked together during recoil, compressing the recoil spring or springs. Following this rearward movement, the bolt locks to the rear and the barrel is forced forward by the spring.
