	Wikipedia: Gun
		A gun is an aimable weapon that launches projectiles at high velocity, or a device that resembles such a weapon used for other purposes (e.g., glue gun).
		The term is also used for types of artillery with long barrels that fire at a relatively flat trajectory.
		Technically speaking, the projectile is the weapon and the gun is the weapon platform, although with the use of bayonets and rifle butts as clubs, the double usage of the word could be forgiven.

	Knives as Weapons
		What distinguishes the knife for eating and the knife as a weapon is the latter's aggressive character as a cutting, slashing and stabbing implement.
		Short edged weapons with a sharp point and usually two cutting edges have existed since time immemorial, but from a practical standpoint the collectable varieties start at the end of the Middle Ages with the ballock-knife, kidney dagger or dudgeon (1300-1700).
		The dirk was later adapted as the side weapon of naval midshipmen and was even borrowed by Italy and Germany between the wars, where a wide range of dirks may be found with military or Nazi and Fascist party emblems.

	Paratus: Weapons
		You might love to store your weapons in a fine, glass-fronted American hardwood display case, and that case might even be tight enough to prevent entry of moisture, but it is insecure, and I don't recommend storage of weapons this way.
		If, on the other hand, you have taken appropriate, but common (not heroic) measures to secure your weapons, and a gun still is taken and winds up in a GFW state (Gun Fearing Wussy) where it is used for evil, you now have the "reasonable man" defense to the lawsuit you will be hit with.
		Weapons training breaks down into five categories, no matter what weapon you are training on, so a consistent plan to train up to a high standard of proficiency should become as automatic as handling the weapons themselves.

		The repatriation, pursuant to the terms of the Yalta Conference, of two million Russian soldiers who had came under the control of advancing American and British forces, resulted for the most part in their deaths.
		The massive research and development involved in the Manhattan Project in order to quickly achieve a working nuclear weapon design greatly impacted the scientific community, among other things creating a network of national laboratories in the United States.

		This shows that the received power declines as the fourth power of the range, which means that the reflected power from distant targets is very, very small.
		They are the heart of the ship-borne Aegis combat system, and the Patriot Missile System, and are increasingly used in other areas because the lack of moving parts makes them more reliable, and sometimes permits a much larger effective antenna, useful in fighter aircraft applications that offer only confined space for mechanical scanning.

	Downtown: The Weapons
		The primary weapon for attack was the high explosive bomb: initially of Korean vintage, though a new generation of aerodynamic 'slick' bombs were later used.
		Their secret weapon was the introduction of new aircraft types such as the A-6 Intruder, with an excellent radar bombsight capable of hitting smaller targets, though it still had problems achieving pinpoint accuracy.
		The weapon's flight performance was affected by air density so that an AIM-9B at high altitude had a range just under three miles which shrank to around a mile at very low altitude.

		This weapon was a 5-shot, bolt-action rifle that actually dated back to 1898 when it was first adopted by the Imperial German Army.

	Flamethrowers and flame weapons
		My conclusion is that if we don't discuss weapons such as the flamethrowers we are less likely to come up with alternatives or to understand why they were used in the past and might be needed in the future.
		A flame cartridge for weapons such as the 40mm M203 grenade launcher would prove very useful but given the performance of the FmW 46 I think it is unlikely that any round that will fit in a M203 will have sufficient capacity to be useful.
		A weapon based on the M72 using an incendiary rocket similar to that used in the M202 would be very useful.

		German secret weapons, and most certainly not property of the allies, they must have concluded one logical assumption, they must belong to someone else.
		I personally tried to obtain information from WW2 records, only to be greeted with a wall of silence: "Why d'you want to know?" and "we have no record of that!" But the real point kicks in when we drew that observation.
		Therefore it would not follow common sense to establish a rocket programme, and waste hundreds of billions of us dollars, years of scientific work proving fruitless exhibitions, and nothing to really show at the end.

		Although the list of weapons was imposing, the garrisons were not strong enough to man them adequately; the standard defense battalion of 1941, moreover, included no infantry.
		In contrast to the garrisons of the Pearl Harbor outposts, the 7th Defense Battalion slated for duty at Tutuila, main island of American Samoa, was a composite infantry-artillery unit.
