  • Reflex Suppressors
    Reflex Suppressors Index General Rifles 50 BMG SMG MG AR Contact Links Measuring License Manufacturing Lyddemper.net Suppressors in France Suppressors in the UK The T8 Scout Reflex Suppressor has become the favorite of hunters, target and sports shooters in Finland, Sweden, Norway and UK, where suppressors are free to use or only partially restricted. Already several thousand Reflex Suppressor units are being used by Finnish hunters to protect themselves against loss of hearing and to safeguard their dogs against total deafening. "Nobody in our hunting party shoots any more without a suppressor", reported a hunter, "as two of our best hunting dogs got deafened by shots that took place too near!" Then, how do the authorities think? The official Finnish view to firearms suppressors is shown in the joint Suppressor Project Summary. The CZ performs well with the MX Minireflex suppressor. This suppressor model is favored by target shooters in order to enable practicing without irritating the neighborhood of their shooting ranges. A gentleman shows consideration to other people! http://guns.connect.fi/rs/Reflex.html (1 of 7)1/01/2005 11:32:57 AM Reflex Suppressors This Barrett M82 .50 caliber rifle is equipped with the Reflex Suppressor BT8 that is suited for use with standard full power .50 BMG ammo. Muzzle brake effect of a suppressor is close to the original muzzle Barrett muzzle brake. Suppressor fastening goes without elbow grease to Barrett's existing threading for it's own original muzzle brake. However, the muzzle report is tamed considerably and it can be compared to a .308 unsuppressed rifle.

  • Weapons in the Dark: Dark Net Demand and Supply Response to Mass-Casualty Events
    COPENHAGEN BUSINESS SCHOOL MSc Advanced Economics and Finance Master’s Thesis Weapons in the Dark: Dark Net Demand and Supply Response to Mass-casualty Events. Authors: Elena Ivanchenkova, Lavi Apfelbaum Supervisor: Chandler Lutz Date of submission: May 15th, 2017. Number of Pages: 100 Number of Characters: 164,460 May 2017 Illustration source: Scotti, 2013. \Place your clothes and weapons where you can find them in the dark." Robert A. Heinlein COPENHAGEN BUSINESS SCHOOL Abstract by Elena Ivanchenkova & Lavi Apfelbaum In this paper, we examine the effect of mass-casualty events on the supply and demand for arms on the Dark Net markets. We explain the environment based on the existing research literature on Bitcoin, encrypted browsers, smuggling and other mechanisms that keep it functioning. We overcome data quality issues related to missing observation using imputation tools. In this research, we use classical econometric methods to obtain evidence on the weapons trade response to the non-strict exogenous shocks. Our results provide some evidence on the short-term and midterm arms sales reaction to the terror attacks and mass shootings. We also find a potential of recognising trends and patterns in weapon trade through the activity analysis in the Dark Net markets Acknowledgements We hereby thank our thesis supervisor Chandler Lutz for the continuous support his guidance and engagement in the process of this research. We furthermore thank Gwern Branwen for his advice and being open in sharing the knowledge not only about the dataset but on the research field in general. Finally, we thank our family and friends who supported us throughout the process and provided some valuable ideas which we implemented in the research.

  • AK-47 : the Lord of War; Can You Recognise It? by Dr G Sreekumar Menon, Commissioner of Customs & Excise
    AK-47 : The Lord of War; Can you recognise it? By Dr G Sreekumar Menon, Commissioner of Customs & Excise THE Customs & Excise Department has an important role in any Border Management Architecture. Examination and inspection of cargo and people of various categories like travellers/tourists/businessmen has become a delicate and complex task. The emergence of terrorist groups and religious fundamentalists and their movement across different geographical jurisdictions has become a cause of global concern. Requirements of rapid clearance of cargo and passengers has resulted in lax inspections and downgrading of physical verifications, which is being exploited for transport of arms and ammunition and narcotics. The AK 47 gun has become a universal favourite of legitimate armed forces as well as terrorist groups. This prized weapon can be dismantled for ease of transportation and to avoid detection. Customs & Excise officers have hardly any training to detect and identify such dismantled arms. The scope of this article is just to give an insight about the ubiquitious AK-47. The AK-47 Assault Rifle was the basic infantry weapon for both the North Vietnamese Army and the Viet Cong during the Vietnam War.
