Firearms E-book 2 by www.Military-Today.com Submachine Guns Submachine guns are automatic weapons, chambered for small caliber pistol cartridges. These weapons usually combine high volume of fire of the machine gun and compact dimensions at the expense of range and accuracy. Also they offer more controllable fire than automatic pistols. Most submachine guns have been designed for close encounters and concealed carrying. SMGs usually have effective range of about 50 to 200 meters. Typically submachine guns are blowback-operated and fire from an open bolt. They are usually chambered for the standard 9 x 19 mm pistol ammunition. Most SMGs have

  • In the Norvinsk Region, a Special Economic Zone That Served As Both
    In the Norvinsk Region, a special economic zone that served as both a bridge between Russia and Europe as well as an excellent location for international companies to do business, a Britain-based corporation called Terra Group began conducting illegal experiments under the guise of creating “new, cutting edge technologies.” When the Russian government began to investigate Terra Group hired a PMC known as USEC (United Security) to act as their proxy private army to disrupt any investigations on their activities. With traditional methods exhausted and their hands legally tied the Russian government took a new approach and secretly created a PMC of their own, known as BEAR, who could successfully combat USEC while keeping their hands clean. It was soon discovered that some elements of the local government also had a hand in Terra Group’s activities by hiding their facilities and officially slating the new USEC forces as being used for “agricultural and mining security”. The Russian government began to believe that these activities were a genuine threat to national security and therefore invested a great deal of resources into BEAR. USEC and BEAR soon came to blows all across the region, the fighting intensifying to the point where a six month political scandal resulted in the involvement of the UN, who soon proved to be ineffective against either side. Eventually, the Norvinsk Region was evacuated by the majority of the civilians who had made their homes there due to the incredible danger that resulted from these battles. Yes, just most of them. Some were ​ ​ unable to leave in time, but some willingly stayed behind in the now mostly lawless area.

Eric By Berman with Louisa N. Lombard report on the volume, origins, and distribution of small arms in any African state. But it goes beyond the focus on small arms. It also provides a much-needed backdrop to the complicated political convulsions that have transformed CAR into a regional tinderbox. There is no better source for anyone interested in putting the ongoing crisis in its proper context.’ —Dr René Lemarchand Emeritus Professor, University of Florida and author of The Dynamics of Violence in Central Africa ’The Central African Republic, surrounded by warring parties in Sudan, Chad, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo, lies on the fault line between the international community’s commitment to disarmament and the tendency for African conflicts to draw in their neighbours. The Central African Republic and Small Arms unlocks the secrets of the breakdown of state capacity in a little-known but pivotal state in the heart of Africa. It also offers important new insight to options for policy-makers and concerned organizations to promote peace in complex situations.’ —Professor William Reno Associate Professor and Director of Graduate Studies, Department of Political Science, Northwestern University Photo: A mutineer during the military unrest of May 1996.

  • To See Which Assault Rifle Can Best Withstand the Rigors of the Sandbox, the Army Conducted a “Dust Test” Between the M4, SCAR, 416 and XM-8
    By David Crane Photos courtesy U.S. Army olt’s M4 carbine came in dead last in an “Extreme Dust Test” (EDT) con- ducted in the fall of 2007 that pitted the current-issue carbine against the FN’s Mk16 (SCAR-Light), HK’s 416, and HK’s XM8. The impetus for the test, the second dust test con- ducted on the M4 in the same year (2007), was CSen. Tom Coburn (R-Okla.), who believed that more reliable assault rifles and carbines than the M4 existed and should be compared to the M4 before the U.S. Army issued an approxi- mately $375-million sole-source procurement contract to Colt. In April 2007, Sen. Coburn stated in a letter, “I am concerned with the Army’s plans to procure nearly half a million new rifles outside of any competitive process.” So, Coburn asked that the Army hold a “…free and open competition.” Accordingly, the U.S. Army Test and Evalu- ation Center (ATEC) team tested 10 sample guns of each weapon system, 40 guns total, and exposed them all to 25 hours of “dusting.” Dust testing consisted of each rifle getting a heavy dose of lubricant, the muzzle being capped, and the ejection port cover closed. Then, each weapon was exposed to a heavy dust environment in a dust chamber for 30 minutes. After the dust bath, a tester fired 120 rounds through each weapon. Then, back in the dust To see which assault rifle can best withstand the rigors of the sandbox, the Army conducted a “dust test” between the M4, SCAR, 416 and XM-8.

  • Mg 34 and Mg 42 Machine Guns
    MG 34 AND MG 42 MACHINE GUNS CHRIS MC NAB © Osprey Publishing • www.ospreypublishing.com MG 34 AND MG 42 MACHINE GUNS CHRIS McNAB Series Editor Martin Pegler © Osprey Publishing • www.ospreypublishing.com CONTENTS INTRODUCTION 4 DEVELOPMENT 8 The ‘universal’ machine gun USE 27 Flexible firepower IMPACT 62 ‘Hitler’s buzzsaw’ CONCLUSION 74 GLOSSARY 77 BIBLIOGRAPHY & FURTHER READING 78 INDEX 80 © Osprey Publishing • www.ospreypublishing.com INTRODUCTION Although in war all enemy weapons are potential sources of fear, some seem to have a deeper grip on the imagination than others. 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.

  • FN P90 Fact Sheet
    SALW Guide Global distribution and visual identification FN P90 Fact sheet https://salw-guide.bicc.de FN P90 SALW Guide FN P90 A personal defense weapon (often abbreviated PDW) is a compact semi- automatic or fully-automatic firearm similar in most respects to a submachine gun, but firing an (often proprietary) armor-piercing round, giving a PDW better range, accuracy and armor-penetrating capability than submachine guns, which fire pistol-caliber cartridges.The P90 was designed to have a length no greater than a man's shoulder width, in order to be easily carried and maneuvered in tight spaces, such as the inside of an armored vehicle. To achieve this, the weapon's design utilizes the unconventional bullpup configuration, in which the action and magazine are located behind the trigger and alongside the shooter's face, so that there is no wasted space in the stock. The P90's dimensions are also minimized by its unique horizontally mounted feeding system, wherein the box magazine sits parallel to the barrel on top of the weapon's frame. Overall, the weapon has an extremely compact profile. Technical Specifications Category Submachine Guns Operating system Straight blowback, closed bolt Cartridge FN 5.7 x 28mm Length 500 mm Feeding n/a Global distribution map The data on global distribution and production is provided primarily by the BwVC1, but also from national and regional focal points on SALW control; data published by think tanks, international organizations and experts; and/or data provided by individual researchers on SALW.
