"Heeres Pistole" (Serv­ Ice Piston. and listed It as Model HP. This design. basically. was adopted In 1938 as the Official German Military Side-arm. and designated. "P-38:' As the safety system was held to be un­ AT THE WALTHER P-38 necessarily complicated. the P-38 differs By SHELLEY BRAVERMAN slightly from the O,",glnal Model HP. Externally. while similar In design. the finish of the original Is much supe,",or to the war-time products. Virtually all of this model likely to be encountered will be chambered for the 9 mm Parabellum (9 mm Luger) car­ tridge. but a few were produced that were chambered for the .30 Luger. the .38 ACP. and the .45 ACP. The design Is that of a locked-breech. double-action. semi-automatic. The ex­ ternal hammer has a "pressure-point" and Is connected to a "tension-trigger:' The pistol may be carried fully loaded llncludlng chamber) and uncocked. and may be fired merely by pulling the trig­ ger. The safety. on being applied. first locks the firing-pin. and then allows the hammer to fall. provided the gun was cocked. A "Signal-Pin" protrudes from the rear of the slide. just over the ham­ mer. when there Is a cartridge In the chamber. warning that gun Is loaded. Handling of this gun (removal of magazine. insertion of loaded magazine. slipping first cartridge Into chamber. disassembly. assembly. etc.) may be accomplished with the Safety on the "Safe" position. The gun also has the common "hold-open device" of most mil­ itary pistols. keeping the slide retracted after discharge of last cartridge. NOTE: Guns with the suffix "E" are post-WW II commercial products. made for export. Post WW II guns have modi­ fied firing pin locks. thumb safetys. firing pins. and limit plugs. that are different from the more common "issue" models; other parts are interchangeable. CAUTION: Do not rely on the condi­ tion of the safety-lever and drop ham­ mer on a live round. Also. gun can be fired without locking-block.

    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.

These early years defined, as Herman Gray suggests in Watching Race, all subsequent representations of blackness on television. This defining moment, I argue, is one inextricably tethered to the South and the region’s anxiety ridden and complicated relationship with television. This anxiety was rooted in the progress and increasing visibility of the Civil Rights Movement, concern over growing white southern audiences in the wake of the FCC freeze (ended in 1952), and the fear and threat of a southern backlash against racially progressive programming.

    The History of Firearm Magazines and Magazine Prohibitions

    KOPEL 3/17/2015 11:41 AM THE HISTORY OF FIREARM MAGAZINES AND MAGAZINE PROHIBITIONS David B. Kopel* I. INTRODUCTION In recent years, the prohibition of firearms magazines has become an important topic of law and policy debate. This article details the history of magazines and of magazine prohibition. The article then applies the historical facts to the methodologies of leading cases that have looked to history to analyze the constitutionality of gun control laws. Because ten rounds is an oft-proposed figure for magazine bans, Part II of the article provides the story of such magazines from the sixteenth century onward. Although some people think that multi- shot guns did not appear until Samuel Colt invented the revolver in the 1830s, multi-shot guns predate Colonel Colt by over two centuries.1 Especially because the Supreme Court’s decision in District of Columbia v. Heller2 considers whether arms are “in common use” and are “typically possessed by law-abiding citizens for lawful purposes,”3 the article also pays attention to whether and when particular guns and their magazines achieved mass-market success in the United States. The first time a rifle with more than ten rounds of ammunition did so was in 1866,4 and the first time a * Adjunct Professor of Advanced Constitutional Law, Denver University, Sturm College of Law.

    The Early Short, Magazine Lee-Enfield Rifle As Issued 1902-1932

    The Early Short, Magazine Lee-Enfield Rifle as Issued 1902-1932 By Kirk E. Brumbaugh "The essence of infantry tactics consists in breaking clown the enemy's resistance by the weight and direction of its fire, and then completing Ms overthrow by assault. Although the enemy may not await the assault, infantry must be constantly animated with the desire to close with him. Troops under cover, unless enfiladed, can seldom be forced to retire by fire alone, and a decision by fire, even if possible, takes long to obtain. To drive an enemy from the field, assault, or the immediate threat of it, is almost always necessary." General Staff, War Office, Field Service Regulations. Part I (London: HMSO 1909 as amended 1912) The history of the Short Magazine Lee-Enfield (SMLE) rifle is intertwined with events which set the strategic and 1 •fi tactical environment in which it was thrust when first issued in 1903. As a "weapons system," the Lee rifle, designed by American James Paris Lee, had been in British service for over a decade, first as a long rifle (1888), later also as a car- bine (1894). Combat experience in the Sudan in 1898, and the Boer War of 1899-1902, revealed the limitations of the rifle and carbine in their then current form and led to a fun- damental overhaul of British Army Doctrine and thought on how training, and development of a new rifle, should take place. Armies are frequently accused of planning for the "last war." For Britain and Empire forces, the period of 1900 through 1914 demonstrated exactly that.
