One can therefore broadly say that India has been the world’s leading arms importer over the past decade.

    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 EDIT (2016/10/03): This thread has been replaced by The 2nd Weapons & Items Requests for UC-1.13/DL-1.13/AFS noticed the list was broken when clearing the Sticky flag on this thread.

    1 Soldier Modernization Market Segment Report February 2021 Copyright © 2021 Jane's Group UK Limited. All Rights Reserved. 2 Introduction As part of Janes’ support of the New Hampshire Aerospace and Defense Export Consortium (NHADEC), Janes will provide a series of ten high-level market reports on subjects of NHADEC’s choosing as well as two in-depth market segment reports. This market segment market report focuses on the soldier modernization market and is comprised of the following elements: 1. Overview of the main aspects of soldier modernization 2. Ongoing programs 3. Market forecast 2021-2025 Copyright © 2021 Jane's Group UK Limited. All Rights Reserved. Soldier modernization evolution 3 1990s-2000 2000s-2010 2010s-2020 2030s • Future soldiers programs have been in the making for decades, although the concept only started reaching maturity in the 1990s with the advent of France’s FELIN or the US Land Warrior and Objective Force Warrior. In the 1990s, most projects were still heavily influenced by Cold War type engagement scenarios with a strong focus on mechanized infantry. Technological ambitions were huge and envisioned the use of airburst type combined weapons by “super soldiers” fully networked, heavily armed, capable of dissimulating through adaptive camouflage and holograms and able to live of the land thanks to genetically altered seeds able to turn into edible vegetables in hours. • Of the different programs launched in the 1990s, only FELIN reached maturity, albeit in a much different form than originally conceived. The system started to be fielded by the end of the 2000s and made its debut in operations in Afghanistan in 2011.

  • PRODUCT CATALOG 2015 2015 Is a Year of Anniversaries for Us Here at CZ-USA
    PRODUCT CATALOG 2015 2015 is a year of anniversaries for us here at CZ-USA. Most notable is the 40th Anniversary of our model 75, a pistol that has become an icon in the firearms world. With a reputation for accuracy, reliability and capacity, it’s a timeless design that forms the basis for most all of our pistol line. To celebrate the 75’s 40 year anniversary, the factory’s master engraver was tasked with designing a unique pistol in commemoration. The 40th Anniversary Limited Edition is beautiful and unique, with only one thousand being created. Another anniversary is that of CZ-USA’s acquisition of Dan Wesson. One decade ago we added Dan Wesson Firearms to our family, bringing their line of fine 1911s to a greater audience through our authorized dealer network. Over the years they have grown and expanded, and Dan Wesson production today looks nothing like it did when we See page 9 brought them on. One thing has never changed -- our unwavering commitment to building production 1911s with superb fit and finish. We are proud of the fact that many customers compare our production 1911s to other manufacturers’ custom guns -- they’re just that good. Joining our lineup of Dan Wesson handguns are two new models and one blast from the past. The Silverback and Valkyrie are our response to customer input, slight variations on our current designs that bring customers options that previously were only available in custom orders. The throwback pistol that joins our catalog this year is the Dan Wesson 715.

    2018 Product Catalog 2018 is a year of anniversaries here at CZ-USA — 20 years ago, Česká zbrojovka established a foothold here in Kansas City, Kansas, setting up CZ-USA to handle importation and everything else that’s involved in getting CZs to U.S. shores. In the beginning, we were selling very European guns to a very American audience, and outside of a few niche groups we were a relative unknown. As our company grew, we filled our ranks with employees who shoot and hunt as a way of life, and over the years we have been able to evolve our line to better meet the tastes and shooting styles of U.S. consumers. This combination of Czech craftsmanship and American firearms culture has resulted in a product line to be proud of. Possibly more impressive is the 50th anniversary of Dan Wesson! We are proud to include them in the CZ-USA family of firearms, and the craftsmen there have created a very special pistol to commemorate the occasion. As we continue to grow on this side of the globe, we are getting ever closer to U.S. production. We are proud to say we have achieved certification for our ISO 9001 Quality Management System — a sign that things here are headed in the right direction. Many thanks are due to the employees and customers who have assisted us, both with hard work and feedback over the years, helping shape us into the company we are today.
