	Info and facts on 'Nuclear weapon design' (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Nuclear weapon designs are often divided into two classes, based on the dominant source of the nuclear weapon (A weapon of mass destruction whose explosive power derives from a nuclear reaction) 's energy.
		Weapons which have a fusion stage are also referred to as hydrogen bombs or H-bombs because of their primary fuel, or thermonuclear weapons because fusion reactions require extremely high temperatures for a chain reaction to occur.
		A final variant of the thermonuclear weapons is the enhanced radiation weapon, or neutron bomb (Atom bomb that produces lethal neutrons with less blast) which are small thermonuclear weapons in which the burst of neutrons generated by the fusion reaction is intentionally not absorbed inside the weapon, but allowed to escape.

	Objective Individual Combat Weapon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The weapon system is to potentially replace the M4 carbine, M16 rifle, M249 light machine gun and some M9 pistols.
		OICW Increment 2 is the airburst weapon (the (XM25).
		The SAMP stated that such weapons must utilize the latest developments in computers and visual technologies, as well as in small arms, and combine both high explosive warheads and traditional bullet firing capabilities in a single weapon that should be fielded circa 2000.

	Joint Direct Attack Munition (JDAM) GBU-29, GBU-30, GBU-31, GBU-32 - Smart Weapons
		The weapon system allows launch from very low to very high altitude and can be launched in a dive, toss, loft or in straight and level flight with an on-axis or off-axis delivery.
		JDAM is not intended to replace any existing weapon system; rather, it is to provide accurate delivery of general purpose bombs in adverse weather conditions.
		Weapon maneuverability and range are enhanced by fixed aerodynamic surfaces (mid-body strakes) attached to the bomb body.

	Nethack Weapon Skills
		Starting with version 3.1.x, nethack added in a weapon skill system, where you are penalized for lack of skill with weapons, and can gain skill in some weapons as you play.
		Also added in is the enchantment of your weapon, and its intrinsic to-hit value (the dwarvish mattock is "clumsy" with a -1 to-hit, whereas a crysknife is easy to use with a builtin +3 to-hit, but most weapons are +0).
		Damage is based on weapon type, which gives a range of possible damages based on different equations for each weapon, and is modified by some special bonuses and penalties specific to your weapon and your character and your alignment and your opponent.

	Miltary Equipment Guides -M24
		While the use of issue rifles has eased the logistical demands on the army supply system, the use of semi-automatic rifles for sniping applications is not with out serious drawbacks.
		The wood stock was subject to warping, the gas operating system was subject to fouling and contamination, and because the weapon was semi-automatic there was no way to ensure every round was chambered in exactly the same way.
		The reason for this difference is the Army ultimately wanted to adopt a more powerful.30 caliber cartridge (such as the.300 Winchester Magnum) which would require the "long" action to extract the larger cartridges in its re-chambered sniper rifles.

	The M24 Sniper Weapon System
		Though some of the more recently designed sniper systems feature technical advancements not available on the M24, the Army’s SWS is the standard by which all current-issue systems are compared.

	FM 44-18 Chptr 2 The Stinger Weapon
		The Stinger weapon system is composed of four basic items: weapon round, IFF subsystem, shipping and storage containers, and harness.
		The Stinger weapon round is made up of a missile round (consisting of a Stinger missile housed within a launch tube) mated to a separable gripstock.
		When connected with the Stinger weapon round, the IFF interrogator is capable of transmitting a challenge (interrogation) to a potential target.

	AD&D Modified Proficiency System (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		As an AD&D Dungeon Master (DM), I have been unhappy with the non-weapon proficiency system, in terms of how it applies to character creation, gradual improvement of proficiencies and the rate at which proficiencies are acquired.
		This system allows a player to develop his or her character's background more fully, and learn new skills gradually as the adventuring career progresses.
		Expanding this system to languages would allow the character to gradually learn a language (use roleplaying to decide what is appropriate).

	Empfasis - Technology Refresh
		This solution is expected to speed improvements of Navy weapon systems by reducing the cycle time for introducing new technologies and enhanced capabilities by at least 25%.
		These improvements will be achieved by integrating weapons system (WS) improvements and obsolescence resolution into a comprehensive TR process and tool set that can effectively manage the issues at the system to component levels.
		It would not be cost-effective to insert new technology into the weapon system at this point in its lifecycle unless it is absolutely necessary.

	Epic: Armageddon - A different weapon/titan pick system (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		The power curve seems to be more powerful initially (the first warlord could for instance have 2 support weapons) even at the middle and slightly weaker at the end (with all the icons, support and reaver/warlord mix you could have at 5000 points you would have a lot less tactical weapons).
		Guderian: Generally I think support weapons should be more powerful than tactical weapons, so I can´t agree with you that the VC is overpowered.
		Blarg: If the Support Weapons are supposed to be more powerful than the other weapons then there should be a points cost penalty for every support weapon taken.

	Air & Space Power Journal: Learning as a weapon system - Features - military education
		By acknowledging at the system level that learning is a combination of training, education, and experience--each of which builds upon the others--we can realize many synergies and efficiencies to prepare our personnel.
		In a nutshell, it means treating the development of Air Force personnel as a weapon system, which is created by using a systems-engineering approach and the best commercial practices.
		Consequently, the AOC is now defined as "the weapon system through which the Joint Forces Air Component Commander (JFACC) exercises command and control of [air and space] forces.

	Primary Home Defense Weapon System - TheFiringLine Forums
		Weapon retention with a long arm is an issue whether it's a shotgun or a rifle.
		Retention skills, empty-hand skills and/or the ability to transition to another weapon (knife, stick, pistol, etc.) are all critical to successful weapon retention at close quarters.
		The reason for this is simple: the handgun is easier to grab and use while lying on my back.

	HKPRO: The WSG2000
		Thus, making the weapon easy to shoot, user friendly, and providing a sighting system that could reduce the potential for aiming errors due to the effects of range and weather, would increase the probability of hitting long range targets with a single round at distances beyond 2,000 meters, more than 1¼ miles away.
		The weapon was fed by a 5-shot magazine, used a system of long recoil operation proven in the earlier CAWS shotgun prototypes and employed a rotary locking bolt head with multiple locking lugs to seal the breech during firing.
		Even when the ammunition, weapon and sight are performing as designed, long range targets at ranges beyond 800 meters are easily missed by even minor miscalculations in the range to the target, atmospheric conditions and, of course, the effects of wind.

	"The Umbrella System: Prelude to an Assassination", by Richard E. Sprague and Robert Cutler
		No natural reason seemed to exist for a fairly young man to be holding an open umbrella over his head while the President of the United States was passing by, ten to fifteen feet away (see diagram of relative positions of TUM and JFK).
		It was not long before the weapon system was under top secret control and was being worked on by some of the military specialists at Fort Detrick.
		There are different kinds of these flechettes that were used in various weapons systems, and a special one was developed which potentially would be able to enter the target without perception.

	HAARP Used as Energy Source for Weapon System (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		The use of a land based HAARP System can be used in conjuction with an array of satellites that are equipped with masers, and the satellite's energy source for their masers originiates from an earth based HAARP source like the one being planned in Alaska.
		The reason why the microwave coherent radiation is transported above the ionoshpere is because when it is transfomed to coherent radiation by the the masers, then there is little attenuation losses of the intensity and coherent microwave qualities of the beam...like no dispersion in frequency and wavelength caused by atmospheric effects.
		What Don has said that given frequencies can be used for effects on humans, control systems for airplanes, ballistic missles, etc etc are just some of the uses of this space based maser weapon system.

	Viruslist.com - Watershed in malicious code evolution
		The primary reasons for the overall decrease in Email-Worms is due to serious efforts by antivirus vendors to provide rapid protection and improved heuristics, as well as heightened user awareness.
		The successful implementation of rootkits on Windows systems is mainly due to lack of user education, as most users run their computers with admin privileges, an essential condition for a rootkit to be successfully installed on the system.
		This class is the most wide-ranging in our classification system; however, due to a lack of interest from virus writers in these types of malware we may see the growth of this group plateauing out in the near future, followed by an insignificant drop.
