In recent years, the US Army began actively looking for a replacement for the 5.56 mm M16/M4 assault rifle, which currently is the standard issue weapon for the infantry. The US Army has selected three potential companies to produce the next generation assault weapon. These are the following companies Sig Sauer, General Dynamics, and Textron systems. All companies have submitted prototypes for the next generation assault rifle that are the subject of the analysis in this paper. In addition, the companies also offer new types of ammunition for the abovementioned systems. The purpose of this paper is to compare the three assault rifle prototypes and the ammunition they use to highlight their potential strengths and weaknesses and to address possible reliability problems. Although many of the specifications of the weapons are the subject to company secret, the paper will provide a comparative analysis of small arms samples that plan to replace the 5.56 mm M16/M4 assault rifle, according to available information from various sources.

  • Understanding the Sig Sauer MCX Assault Rifle Used in the Orlando Mass Shooting
    Understanding the Sig Sauer MCX Assault Rifle Used in the Orlando Mass Shooting Violence Policy Center June 2016 Violence Policy Center www.vpc.org The Sig Sauer MCX Assault Rifle Early in the morning of June 12, 2016, Omar Mateen, age 29, opened fire with a Sig Sauer MCX assault rifle at Pulse, a gay dance club in Orlando, Florida. Mateen killed 49 people and wounded 53 others. In addition to the Sig Sauer assault rifle, Mateen was also carrying a Glock semiautomatic pistol. The two weapons had been legally purchased earlier in the month from the St. Lucie Shooting Center in Port St. Lucie, Florida. Mateen was killed in a shootout when law enforcement stormed the building around 5:00 AM that morning. The massacre is the worst mass shooting in U.S. history.1 2 The MCX is a classic assault rifle and incorporates many of the characteristics that make this category of firearm so lethal and distinguish it from sporting rifles. The MCX uses detachable ammunition magazines and comes equipped with a 30-round magazine like those used in the Orlando mass shooting. The MCX is also designed with: a pistol grip; a folding, collapsible, or telescoping stock; and, a handguard. These characteristics enhance the gun’s lethality by making it easier to shoot, reload, and maneuver in closed spaces such as a dark nightclub. This backgrounder offers a brief overview of the Sig Sauer MCX assault rifle, key points about assault weapons, and a discussion about what makes assault weapons different from standard hunting and sporting firearms.

    Subject: Weapons & Items Requests for UC-1.13/DL-1.13/AFS Posted by Wil473 on Mon, 08 Aug 2011 22:28:31 GMT View Forum Message <> Reply to Message Looks like Smeagol beat me to creating one of these. As I am sharing items between the three mods, spinning out a thread for weapon and item requests. Please include at a minimum: - link to more information - rational why I should be adding your favourite gun to three different mods (I've included a list of weapons already in-mod to avoid embarrassing incidents of duplication) - description to item (bonus points if it is usable in-game) - graphics (bonus points if they are usable in-game, and you are the artist so I don't need to track anyone down for permission) Note, that with New Magazine System (NMS) in the works, this thread will be mostly to gather information for future "Advance Capability" versions of the mods that will be created after the current "offical" cycle of v1.13 releases. Specifically NMS, so far, has a few features that not only simplifies adding unique magazine capacities and multiple magazine capacities, but on considering what ChrisL has already stated to be his plans for NMS, features that can be exploited (ie. not ChrisL's intention, but I plan on abusing it for this purpose) to make supporting a common item list between multiple mods much easier... EDIT (2016/10/03): This thread has been replaced by The 2nd Weapons & Items Requests for UC-1.13/DL-1.13/AFS noticed the list was broken when clearing the Sticky flag on this thread.

  • Rhetorically Speaking
    Rhetorically Speaking In his acceptance speech for the German Booksellers‘ Peace Prize, awarded a few weeks before he was elected President of Czechoslovakia, Vaclav Havel talked about the power of language, warning that ―the power of words is neither unambiguous nor clear cut…Words that electrify society with their freedom and truthfulness are matched by words that mesmerize, deceive, inflame, madden, beguile….‖ He asked, ―What is the true vocation of the intellectual? …to listen careful to words—to the words of the powerful—to be watchful of them…to proclaim their implications.‖ Although primarily addressing the need to be alert to the rhetoric of those in positions of power, Havel‘s word also point to the task before teachers and students of English. What the AP English Language and Composition Examination asks for students to evaluate words—words they are to read carefully, interpret, and then ―proclaim their implications.‖ Preparing for this examination is preparing to be continually attuned to what words say and how they say it, and to be able to respond to them with an informed, critical intelligence. AP English Language and Composition Free Response Scoring Guide with Multiple-Choice Section, 1996 Whatever you say. Or whatever you write. Or whatever you do to get your point across. That is rhetoric. And, as the 15-or-so freshmen in English Professor Richard Enos‘ Freshmen Seminar discover, that‘s the art between thought and expression. Was Bill Clinton‘s A Man From Hope a folksy documentary or propaganda pushing small-town values just in time for the 1990 election? And how on earth did Orson Welles‘ 1939 radio adaptation of War of the Worlds cause people to jump from buildings and the government to prohibit similar broadcasts? By semester‘s end, Enos‘ students will be disarming such arguments like a S.W.A.T.
