Topic: Tang (weaponry)


  
  Tang (weaponry) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The tang of a fixed blade knife is the protrusion of the blade onto which the handle is fastened.
Alternately, the tang may be wrapped with braided cord or paracord.
A "hidden tang" or "rat-tail tang" means that a long rod extends from the blade through a drilled or hollow handle, and is threaded so as to hold the handle in place by tightening a fastener at the end.

 TMD REFERS TO TAIWAN MISSILE DEFENSE: MINISTER   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
Tang's remarks were seen as an effort to clarify speculation on Taiwan's intention to join the US-initiated theater missile defense project.
Tang went on to say even if the United States invites the ROC to join its TMD system, the military will still study whether Taiwan needs to do so and whether the majority of local people support such a move before making a final decision.
Tang said the Ministry of National Defense plans to complete establishment of a comprehensive low-altitude missile defense system in 10 years at a cost ranging between NT$250 billion and NT$300 million, adding that the ministry will set aside NT$30 billion in its annual budget for the critical project.

 UDN-991210-Long-Range-Missiles-Not-Policy
Tang explained that some people define long-range missiles as having a range of 5,000 kilometers or more, while medium-range missiles are defined as having a radius of between 1,500 kilometers and 5,000 kilometers.
Tang declined to elaborate on what kind of "countervailing weaponry" the ROC armed forces are developing.
Tang also said that, in order to protect intelligence sources, he could neither verify nor refute yesterday's report in the U.S. newspaper the Washington Times, which asserted that the PRC is building a second M-11 missile base in Xianyou, Fujian Province.

 SW: Jeya Day 3 Foreign reports
Mr Tang filed police reports accusing PAP leaders of lying and criminal conspiracy and Mr Jeyaretnam announced that move at the last rally before voting on January 2.
The report filed by a political candidate, Tang Liang Hong, was an answer to mudslinging by the Prime Minister, who had accused him of being a Chinese chauvinist and anti-Christian and therefore likely to disrupt Singapore's racial balance, even though Mr Tang has studied Indian dancing and his daughter is a Christian.
Mr Tang, who fled Singapore after allegedly receiving death threats, was Mr Jeyaretnam's running mate in the January 2 general elections and came close to winning a seat in Parliament.

 Asmolov Konstantin.The system of Military Activity of Koguryo   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
Yon Kaesomun was able to destroy Tang's rear units, making the Tang retreat, but this was to be his last victory as he died in 666 leaving a struggle for power between his three sons.
Koguryo was doomed, and in 667-668 the Tang lead a final triumphant campaign-traitors opened the gates to the capital, allowing the Tang to mop up the last defensive positions from 669-673.
The Chinese system was based on the soldier, equally skilled in all kinds of weaponry, while Koguryo units were divided according to major weapons: spearmen (some of the ancient spears were held by 2-3 men); axe-men; archers, both on foot and horseback; heavy cavalry, armored and with heavy spears.

 Medieval Battleready Swords
All tangs are a continuation of the blade that runs completely through the handle and connects to the pommel (not the thin rod used in most all swords).
Although they are historically correct in appearance, specifications were set to produce a sword that could withstand the riggers of steel to steel and not produce a failure.
These tests resulted in NO breakage or looseness developing in the blade, tang, or handle of the swords.

Participating in the high-tech weaponry projects could initially cost Taiwan at least one billion US dollars, he estimated.

 K'tang - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This was not to be without incident, however - the K'tang are blustering, idiotic and aggressive at the best of times, and their short fuses and belligerence put them on the wrong end of a five on one war with the neighbouring races, one that they were losing.
Despite their powerful weaponry, not a single worm had a single inkling of strategic thought, no warrior lowered himself to running the supply lanes, and no slave was good enough to do it.
In short, each individual K'tang scrouned whatever weapons he could, then went into battle hiding behind his allies, waiting for an opportunity to bag himself a foe.

 RuneGame.com Forums - Glamdring   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
A full tang is where the tang is part of the blade and is the full length of the grip into the pommel.
The tang was a strange mixture of wider at the shoulders for about an inch before stepping in to form a even narrower straight up to the end...then a small bolt was "tacked" welded to the end.
I seem to remember that the tang is tempered to be softer than the rest of the blade, to minimize the possibility of it cracking.

The blade height at ricasso (where tang enters the cup) is ~ 1/2"; blade width is ~ 7/32"; tang is ~ 3-1/2" long and peened to retain the pommel.
On the tang, between the inside of the cup and the under-side of the cross-guard, a "ferrule or spacer" is present.
Guard is attached apparently by inserting the tang through a hole in a flattened part at the front of the guard; detached end of "D" has a finial similar to finials on the quillon.
