Traditional Slingshot Weapon Page 1 Page 2 Nopriyasman and Syafrizal: The History of Traditional Weapons Slingshot in Minangkabau ii ` Page 3 Nopriyasman and Syafrizal: The History of Traditional Weapons Slingshot in Minangkabau FOREWORD Alhamdulillah, praise and thanks to Allah SWT for the successful completion of research and book writing this, which was entitled “History of Traditional Weapons Umban Rope in Minangkabau". Honestly, a lot of obstacles that the authors face in conducting research on the existence of the sling in a past life Minangkabau people in West Sumatra. Difficulty The first is related to the search for written sources about use of the sling in society, very few books a book that alludes to talk of the sling, even if there is, the discussion is only about one paragraph. The source of the writing was obtained from Dutch writers and writers Indonesia, which is generally related to history war, especially traditional war traditions or nagari wars, and priest war. The second difficulty relates to oral sources, it turns out that there are very few people in West Sumatra today who knows about the traditional slingshot weapon. There have been enough people the writer/researcher has met for conducted an interview about the sling, but at the beginning their conversation immediately admitted that they did not know about sling. The informants who were successfully interviewed by the writer were people who can use traditional weapons slingshot, but most of them can't make it. Information about the use of the sling they put forward related to agricultural interests. The sling became a weapon for farmers to repel monkeys, pigs, and humans disturbing the farm site they. While the information on the use of a sling in the the war of independence and fights between villages to the late 1950s, it was acknowledged by informants that all sourced from the stories of old people in their village.

Background There are many historical collections at UPTD Museum Adityawarman, West Sumatra Province. some of that collection is the weapons that have been used by community and even produced in various nagari in West Sumatra, such as slings, cannons, klewang swords, swords, portuguese pistols, samurai swords and rifles. Nonetheless the story around those weapons is still not widely known, let alone a reference or museum documents. One of the unexplored weapons it is a traditional slingshot weapon. Slingshot included in the Minangkabau traditional weapons group which have lived in the history of Minangkabau culture. The shape is very simple, but the projectile ejection power (usually stone) is very strong, until it makes a sound hum, so that the affected target will feel excruciating pain, or even "deadly". Nowadays, in various regions in Indonesia, the slingshot is known as traditional game, as well as a tool for hunting animals and fighting (Hamzuri and Siregar, 1998: 82). Minangkabau society (West Sumatra) partly mostly inhabit rural areas or mostly live in the traditions of farming communities in various villages. each each village has its own way and intelligence in defending themselves from all threats against oneself, as well as threats against all kinds of enemies of their agricultural produce.

  • 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.).

  • Slavery and Social Change in Early Modern Southeast Asia
    215 Journal of Southeast Asian Studies, 38(2), pp 215–245 June 2007. Printed in the United Kingdom. E 2007 The National University of Singapore doi:10.1017/S0022463407000021 Fugitive women: Slavery and social change in early modern Southeast Asia Eric A. Jones Female slaves in VOC-controlled Southeast Asia did not fare well under a legal code which erected a firm partition between free and slave status. This codification imposed a rigid dichotomy for what had been fluid, abstract conceptions of social hierarchy, in effect silting up the flow of underclass mobility. At the same time, conventional relationships between master and slave shifted in the context of a changing economic climate. This article closely narrates the lives of several eighteenth-century female slaves who, left with increasingly fewer options in this new order, resorted to running away. One day in the early months of 1793 authorities in the Dutch colonial capital became suspicious when they noticed a man carrying what appeared to be a bloody axe (golok). When they approached him about the axe (which turned out only to have rust on the blade) they discovered that he was in fact a fugitive slave. The runaway, named Augusto van Sumbauwa, was apprehended and revealed to them a complex of safe houses and runaway accomplices. Augusto had been on the run with his girlfriend, Sapia van Sumbauwa, moving from safe house to safe house. These slaves were given Dutch- style ‘last names’ with ‘van’ implying their ethnicity or geographical origin. They had first rented a back room in the home of a ‘free non-Christian woman’ called Ma or Nyai Sauwa, partially in exchange for repairing her roof, and then moved to a large plantation mansion with other runaways.

  • Swords and Daggers
    Swords and Daggers Swords are weapons formed by a blade (the part intended for striking) and a hilt (from which the sword is held) [Fig. 1]. While there have been swords made of wood and stone, the more predominant and effective examples have been made of some sort of metal. Bronze was used in ancient times, followed by iron and then steel. Daggers are a more primitive, much smaller weapon which share many features with the sword. As a general rule, knives have a single edge. Blade The sword’s blade can be divided between the forte (third of the blade closer to the hilt) and the foible (third of the blade closer to the tip). This refers to how much strength the wielder can put into each area of the blade when used as a lever. The part of the blade that becomes narrow and goes into the grip is called the tang [Fig. 2]. The point of balance [Fig. 3] is the sword’s center of gravity, often found on the blade very close to the hilt, and influences the handling of the weapon. The center of percussion [Fig. 3] is the area of the blade that produces the least amount of vibration when striking a target, and thus is the ideal place with which to strike. The cross-section of the blade [Fig. 4] is the shape it has when cut at the guard. The fullers, incorrectly called blood grooves in modern times, were used to reduce the weight of the blade and give it structural strength.

  • De Nederlands-Indische Marechausseesabel: Ontstaan En
    De Nederlands-Indische marechausseesabel Ontstaan en ontwikkeling van de militaire klewang door J.P. Puype en R.J. de Stürler Boekwijt [1] Onder de 'militaire klewang' verstaan wij in de eerste plaats de in 1898 door het Nederlands- Indisch leger (KNIL) ingevoerde zogenaamde Marechausseesabel en zijn opvolgers. Verder de zgn. voormodellen, d.w.z. de blanke wapens die rechtstreeks van invloed op het ontstaan ervan zijn geweest. Ook bespreken wij enkele verwante buitenlandse klewangmodellen en derivaten. Alle overige klewangmodellen en -typen (Koninklijke landmacht, Koninklijke marine, politie enz.) zullen in de catalogus aan bod komen, evenals de van de Marechausseesabel afgeleide Nederlands-Indische Cavaleriesabel M.1904. [2] Het is de verdienste van Görlitz en Janse [3] dat zij de tot dan toe heersende opvatting, als zou de militaire klewang zijn ontwikkeld uit de Atjehse gliweng (of gliwang) overtuigend hebben ontkracht. Tevens is door hen voor het eerst een poging gedaan de verschillende klewangmodellen en -typen af te beelden en te benoemen. De eerstvolgende iets uitgebreidere studie over de klewang verscheen in 1981 als hoofdstuk in het boekje Blanke wapens van J.P. Puype. [4] Het behandelde de klewang wapenhistorisch d.w.z. het plaatste het wapen in een typologische reeks van exact dateerbare (overigens inmiddels gedeeltelijk foutief gebleken) stadia en exact gedefinieerde modellen. Verder werd de klewang bestudeerd binnen het kader van de ontwikkeling van het blanke wapen in het algemeen. Een derde stap in de geschiedschrijving van de militaire klewang is een onlangs verschenen artikel van A.H. Kabbedijk. [5] Deze auteur behandelt vrijwel uitsluitend de Marechausseesabel van het KNIL.

Valiant co has been founded by Suwandi Wigunadharma in Perth, Australia. Suwandi is a collector of ancient traditional [1] Indonesian blades, that decided to go a step further. He now sells new reproductions of ancient designs. Golok, Parang [2], Klewang, Keris, Kerambit, Barong, Talibon, and all sorts of reproductions of ancient East Asian blades. They are more than reproductions, they are real knives, made to be used really hard, and they will sustain that use. Suwandi's line is impressive, hundreds of different looking big blades, with nothing really under 8 inches. Valiant sells both spring steel blades and "pamor" blades. Pamor is a stacked pattern welding Damascus which uses vertical layers instead of horizontal layers. All blades are differentially tempered using a mix of clay, sand and bamboo coal. All the materials used are traditional, water buffalo horn, and hard woods, brass or steel.
