    International Military Cartridge Rifles and Bayonets

    INTERNATIONAL MILITARY CARTRIDGE RIFLES AND BAYONETS The following table lists the most common international military rifles, their chambering, along with the most common bayonet types used with each. This list is not exhaustive, but is intended as a quick reference that covers the types most commonly encountered by today’s collectors. A Note Regarding Nomenclature: The blade configuration is listed, in parentheses, following the type. There is no precise dividing line between what blade length constitutes a knife bayonet vs. a sword bayonet. Blades 10-inches or shorter are typically considered knife bayonets. Blades over 12-inches are typically considered sword bayonets. Within the 10-12 inch range, terms are not consistently applied. For purposes of this chart, I have designated any blade over 12 inches as a sword bayonet.

  • Rules and Options

    Rules and Options

    Rules and Options The author has attempted to draw as much as possible from the guidelines provided in the 5th edition Players Handbooks and Dungeon Master's Guide. Statistics for weapons listed in the Dungeon Master's Guide were used to develop the damage scales used in this book. Interestingly, these scales correspond fairly well with the values listed in the d20 Modern books. Game masters should feel free to modify any of the statistics or optional rules in this book as necessary. It is important to remember that Dungeons and Dragons abstracts combat to a degree, and does so more than many other game systems, in the name of playability. For this reason, the subtle differences that exist between many firearms will often drop below what might be called a "horizon of granularity." In D&D, for example, two pistols that real world shooters could spend hours discussing, debating how a few extra ounces of weight or different barrel lengths might affect accuracy, or how different kinds of ammunition (soft-nosed, armor-piercing, etc.) might affect damage, may be, in game terms, almost identical. This is neither good nor bad; it is just the way Dungeons and Dragons handles such things. Who can use firearms? Firearms are assumed to be martial ranged weapons. Characters from worlds where firearms are common and who can use martial ranged weapons will be proficient in them. Anyone else will have to train to gain proficiency— the specifics are left to individual game masters. Optionally, the game master may also allow characters with individual weapon proficiencies to trade one proficiency for an equivalent one at the time of character creation (e.g., monks can trade shortswords for one specific martial melee weapon like a war scythe, rogues can trade hand crossbows for one kind of firearm like a Glock 17 pistol, etc.).

    Probable extinction of the western black rhino Yemen’s attitudes towards rhino horn and jambiyas Lucy Vigne, Esmond Martin PO Box 15510 – 00503, Nairobi, Kenya; email: [email protected] Abstract In 1990 the Marxist government of the south that had banned civilians from possessing weapons, including the jambiya dagger, was ousted. South Yemen united with North Yemen to form one country. Were more people in the south going to emulate the northerners and buy jambiyas once again? Having not been in the southern region since 1993, we surveyed five main southern towns in early 2008 to see if influences from the north had encouraged the southerners to wear jambiyas in recent years. In many ways the southerners are emulating the northerners: they have shed Marxism in favour of capitalism and there has been an increase in traditional Islamic practices, but they still look down on jambiyas. However, the dagger is still a proud sign of being a northern tribesman, and Sanaa remains the centre of the jambiya industry - with rhino horn most favoured for handles; Taiz trails a distant second in importance. We learned more about the attitudes of Yemenis, especially from the younger more prosperous men in Sanaa who are likely to buy a rhino horn jambiya. And we increased public awareness on the plight of the rhino, distributing DVDs on Yemen’s rhino horn trade and supplying other educational materials to Yemenis in Sanaa and Taiz. Résumé En 1990 le gouvernement marxiste du sud qui avait interdit aux civils de posséder des armes, y compris le poignard jambiya, a été évincé.

    Knife, Combat, Utility The next military issue survival knife Standard Issue since World War II Most are familiar with the Air Force & Navy aircrew survival knife with 5 inch fixed blade from Camillus is now manufactured in accordance with U.S. Government specifications by the Ontario Knife Company. In addition, jet pilots and select crew members with ejection capability were issued the MC1 or M724 automatic rescue knife with 3 inch clip point blade and parachute shroud cutter. This knife was issued from 1957 until 1993. In lieu of the MC1, helicopter pilots and crew are issued the Camillus Model 1760 folding pocket knife with their survival vest. This stainless steel knife is equipped with 2.75 inch blade, can opener, cap opener, screw driver, and awl/punch. This folding knife is also standard issue with ground combat elements and has been around since 1945. It has been affectionately known by troops as the Demo Knife. Official Issue Swiss Army Knife The Swiss issued model 1961, a similar knife to the demo is named the Soldier by Victorinox and Standard Issue by Wenger. In 2003, Victorinox released a 111mm series of knifes known as the Trailmaster based on the German Army Knife. Not to be confused with Cold Steel’s Trail Master Bowie Knife, Victorinox renamed this knife Trekker. Offered with a one-handed open blade, the Trekker became very popular in the United States. In 2008 the Trailmaster/Trekker knife was officially adopted by the Swiss Government to replace the Soldier model 1961. The new Soldier features a one-handed serrated locking blade, Philips screwdriver, can opener, small screw driver, bottle opener, large locking screwdriver, wire striper, reamer, wood saw and key ring.

Scraps of Hope in Banda Aceh Banda in Hope of Scraps in Banda Aceh Marjaana Jauhola mirrors the peace-making process from the perspective of the ‘outcast’ and invisible, challenging the selective narrative and ideals of the peace as a success story. Jauhola provides Gendered Urban Politics alternative ways to reflect the peace dialogue using ethnographic and in the Aceh Peace Process film documentarist storytelling. Scraps of Hope in Banda Aceh tells a story of layered exiles and displacement, revealing hidden narratives of violence and grief while exposing struggles over gendered expectations of being good and respectable women and men. It brings to light the multiple ways of arranging lives and forming caring relationships outside the normative notions of nuclear family and home, and offers insights into the relations of power and violence that are embedded in the peace. Marjaana Jauhola is senior lecturer and head of discipline of Global Development Studies at the University of Helsinki. Her research focuses on co-creative research methodologies, urban and visual ethnography with an eye on feminisms, as well as global politics of conflict and disaster recovery in South and Southeast Asia.
