	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.

	Manhattan Project - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Manhattan Project resulted in the development of the first nuclear weapons, and the first-ever nuclear detonation, at the Trinity test of July 16, 1945.
		Chief among these developments were the discovery of a nuclear model of the atom, which by 1932 was thought to consist of a small, dense nucleus containing most of the mass of the atom in the form of protons and neutrons, surrounded by a shell of electrons.
		Because of the complexity of detonating an implosion-style weapon necessary for the plutonium bomb, it was decided that in spite of the waste of expensive fissile material, a test would be required in order to have any confidence that it would work in practice.

		While it will not list the 10 maker/marking variations for a specific model, it is essential to identifying stuff, and to give an idea of what a complete collection might consist of.
		This model is not listed in Reilly, and my gut feeling is that it may be for one of the Rolling blocks by Remington or Whitney, or perhaps the Sharps Borchardt or something, The scabbard may be a great rarity worth a bundle to the advanced collector or nothing exciting at all.
		WW2 canvas scabbard with brass throat piece is oil soaked and has several snags and one hole (1/2" dia) but still fully functional.

	Blue 1911 WW2 army issue? - 1911Forum (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		It’s a beautiful blued weapon, IM thinking 80 percent, with minor holster wear on the mussel and very very few surface pits that are only legible in bright light.
		It's also not too uncommon to find a 1911 that was issued in the early days of the war, and never got rebuilt, so it retains all 1911 parts and the pre-1942 blued finish.
		Weapons that were given more forward echelon "combat" rebuilds weren't stamped.

		It was the largest armed conflict in history, spanning the entire world and involving more countries than any previous war, as well as introducing powerful new weapons, culminating in the first use of nuclear weapons.
		In Europe, the origins of WW2 are closely tied to the uprising of fascism, especially in the shape of Nazi Germany.
		After the war, many high-ranking Nazis and Japanese leaders were prosecuted for war crimes, as well as the mass murder of the Holocaust.

		The SAW is a base of fire weapon, and is used to suppress enemy fire and cover the movement of friendly elements.The Company also had some issues with the SAW, but of a kind different from the Grunts.
		Coupled with significant maintenance and support issues, the MP5 was not a good choice for Marine Corps operations.The MP5 was once touted to be the "ultimate CQB weapon" because at the time it was introduced it was "known" that the 556x45mm round would over-penetrate in that environment.
		Maximum effective range against material type targets is 1800 meters.While the primary use of this weapon is to defeat material type targets (such as aircraft, vehicles,and radar etc.), it may also be used against personnel if necessary.

		This is as far as the weapon is disassembled for normal cleaning and lubrication.
		Attached to the pistol is the regulation lanyard (reproduction) which is made of leather and is secured to the weapon by means of a hard leather knot.

	POLE Paper nr. 3
		This conceptual leap is clear from the ways in which Western governments have imposed export controls on key chemical compounds from 1984 onwards, gradually expanding the list, and later extending the restrictions to dual-use technology and even materials required for biological weapons programmes.
		The NPT nonetheless framed the chemical and biological weapons proliferation debate: the spread was undesirable.
		Chemical weapons are known to have been used since antiquity and novel strategies to exploit the toxic characteristics of some compounds were proposed at different times, especially when defences and fortifications posed a challenge to existing weaponry.

	German Antitank rifles & other AT devices. - Page 3 - WW2inColor Talk
		The Germans captured considerable numbers of these weapons still unissued in the armories and storages; it received the German designation Panzerbüchse 35(p) ("Tank Rifle", the suffix "p" for "polnisch") - abbreviated as PzB 35(p) - but was also called Panzerbüchse 770(p) and was issued to german troops.
		The well-designed muzzle brake absorbed 65% of the recoil forces and the recoil of the weapon was contrary to other tank rifles only slightly stronger than that of a regular infantry rifle.
		Because the ammunition for this weapon had no hardened core but relied on the high velocity of the bullet, penetration performance dropped significantly at ranges beyond 300m; the lack of a hard core in the projectile (weight: 12.8g) this weapon fires is widely regarded as the foremost drawback of this weapon.

		Both are cannon, but one is a 15mm weapon and the other is a 20mm weapon.
		The problem, of course, was not the weapons, but the fire control system - the British High Angle Control System was flawed in concept and design and RN AAA suffered as a result.
