The most effective factor in regards to the M16 Airsoft Guns could it be is amongst the versatile Air-soft guns available. Technology-not only for target shooting, picking off cans within your backyard this means you will also succeed in solid Airsoft games and matches. The rifle’s retracting body helps it be easy to use in close quarter fighting, specially when coupled with a laser concentrating on system.

          WWI GERMAN HEBEL FLARE PISTOL MODEL M1894 WITH PROVENCE

WWI German Hebel Flare Pistol model M1894. This lovely original German first world war flare pistol was brought back by a British soldier. Used extensively by the German Military throughout both world wars. It has only recently been discovered and is brand new to the collectors market PRICE $295.00 .

But, if one were to start with a rifled “long gun” 410 shotgun, shorten the barrel to say 6″, and replace the shoulder stock with a pistol grip, then it’s a big problem(Even though one ends up with a “410 pistol”, the ATF considers it a (rifled) short barreled shotgun). Same situation if one cuts down a rifle to make a pistol. Make sure your 410 pistol is rifled and you’re good to go. There are many sporting reasons to have a detachable magazine and a pistol grip on a rifle/shotgun. In the event of a similar social breakdown, a rifle with which you can engage targets at ranges over 100 yards could come in very handy.

The National Rifle Association has a good program to teach gun safety to kids called the “Eddie Eagle” program. To get real power, the kind reliably sufficient to halt an aggressor, you need to use a shotgun or rifle. The minimum levels of accuracy for any shooter should be as follows (using 5-shot strings for each): defensive handgun: 5″ group center-mass at seven yards, offhand (unsupported); rim fire rifle: 4″ group at 25 yards, off hand; center fire rifle (unscoped): 6″ group at 50 yards; center fire rifle (scoped) 4″ group at 100 yards.

                                                                                Best Handgun Safe 

It is very important to keep your handgun safe and locked up at all times. There is a news story each year about a child who found a gun in their parent’s bedroom and accidentally shot himself or herself or another sibling. It’s a sad and terrible thing, but is something that can be prevented by locking your handguns in a gun safe or a special handgun safe. Most gun safes are made for larger rifles and shot guns, and can easily hold your extra handguns, but there are also smaller handgun safes that are meant to fit anywhere, and are great for safely storing a gun in your bedroom for quick and easy access, while keeping it locked to prevent an accident. But what is the <strong>Best Handgun Safe</strong> to buy?

We’ve looked at a number of different handgun safes, comparing their main features and access methods, and have found that the <strong>Best Handgun Safe</strong> out there is the <strong>V-Line Pistol Safe</strong>.

Handgun Safes (Pistol Safes), and Biometric Safes: What You Need to Know Before You Buy

What parent or person wants their handguns in the hands of their kids, or visitors, or even the burglar that’s found his or her way in? Because of accidental discharge of their firearms, more and more are turning to the use of handgun safes in order to protect themselves against theft, would-be theft, damage or accidental discharge of a loaded gun. Today’s pistol safes come in a variety of configurations, giving you more control over where you store your weapon(s). For instance, certain car manufacturers (such as Cadillac) have been targeted by safe manufacturers, and you can now buy a false-floor safe for your SUV, or a console safe for your Cadillac Escalade. For the home, there are a number of safes available, including laptop and wall safes in which to store your pistols and more.

The Civil War bullet caused tremendous casualties and incredible suffering to many brave soldiers. Wartime field hospitals reports indicated that as much as ninety percent of battle wounds were caused by small arms projectiles. For that reason, it is the ultimate relic and representation of the soldiers who fought in the war that determined our national character/destiny.

Collecting of Civil War bullets is becoming more popular each year. It's a hobby that can be started by anyone with a little knowledge. The collection can also be very involved and there are some rare bullets that cost even more than Confederate buttons. Bullets prices are going up each year and can be a good investment. But more than that, owning a piece of history or collecting history can be very rewarding.

Silver bullets may be able to resolve problems with werewolves, but they don’t exist in the information technology world. They simply don’t. It would be nice if they did. They would make life simpler. They would reduce the stress levels of information technology personnel. Unfortunately, no one, single solution exists when it comes to protecting data.

Security silver bullets are, more often than not, the selling points of so-called information technology “experts.” Such experts guarantee that a business’ data will be safe. They then are nowhere to be found when that data is breached or lost. They’ve disappeared, often with a large sum of a business’ capital.

The invention of the self-contained cartridge has been credited to J. Pauly from Switzerland. It followed shortly behind the percussion firing system, just a year later, in 1808. Both Napoleon and the Czar of Russia hailed Pauly’s guns for this important piece of ingenuity. The ability to load a gun with a self-contained cartridge would simplify and speed the reloading process immensely. Something that military strategists, like Napoleon and the Czar, greatly appreciated.

Pauly’s casings were made of paper, rather than the brass that has become the standard of today, but it nevertheless led the way to a whole new approach to firearm’s ammunition. It was the French gunsmith, Casimir Lefaucheux, who patented one of the earliest self-contained, and pin fired, cartridges, but that was not until 1827. Then in 1846 M.Houiller improved on the Lefaucheux cartridge by introducing a fully metallic casing of copper brass. The one primary limitation of the metal casing, which hampered its initial acceptance, was the added mechanical complication of removing the expended cartridge from the weapon after firing. Eventually the value of the metal cartridge simply pushed gunsmiths to become creative in the developing of ejection systems as well.

                                 The Peacemaker Turned Rebel

General John T. Thompson, shown above, invented the term ‘sub machine gun’ and the small, rapid-fire machine gun that we are most familiar with, and that bears his name. It was during WWI that Thompson began developing his rapid fire gun. His vision was to provide an auto-fire gun for use in trench warfare, that could help to win and end the war. His company, Auto-Ordinance, named their project Annihilator I. Unfortunately, the first shipment of the ‘Annihilators’ was not released until the day the war ended.

Deactivated Heckler & Koch G3 Battle Rifle in lovely condition. We have a small selection of these classic post war German designed rifles. The design is based on the German WWII MP44. This one has matching numbers and dates to 1974, even the magazine is the same date. Deactivated to current specifications with moving slide and trigger and removable furniture. They are still partially strippable. Comes with 7.62mm inert rounds and leather sling.

One of the most recognizable and glamorized guns ever made, the Thompson submachine gun more commonly known as the "Tommy Gun" was invented by John T. Thompson in 1919.

The Model 1895 was John Browning's first production belt-fed machine gun, seen here mounted on a 1905 Franklin Cross. The 1895 was used on virtually every platform, from the armored car to the biplane, as well as in infantry support.

                                                            Model 1917

The Model 1917, first used towards the end of WWI, was Browning's first recoil operated/gas assist* design, one which is still in use today in the .50 caliber HB. The 1917 had a bottom plate that fit inside the two side plates, and was held in place by sliding dovetails instead of rivets, a design that proved inadequate against the forces of the recoiling parts, which tended to cause the dovetails to shoot loose over time, allowing the side plates to separate. A stirrup was added under the bottom plate to reinforce the side plates, as can be seen in the photo at right. (* The booster at the barrel's muzzle traps expanding gases, pushing the barrel rearward.)

                                                air-cooled 1917

The 1919A2 was developed to address the need for a lightened 1917 for use with the cavalry. Because of its compact size, it also saw extensive service in tanks. It was essentially an air-cooled 1917 with a redesigned rear sight, which also had a lower profile as it did not need to sight over the larger water jacket.

                                         FN30 flexible aircraft guns

Twin FN30 flexible aircraft guns. This variation wasintroduced in 1932, and is typical of aircraft weapons made by Fabrique Nationale of Belgium, or FN. If any weapons manufacturer could rival Colt for it's exquisite craftsmanship, it is FN. This model is yet another peacetime weapon and often touted as the finest Browning machine gun ever made.

The Browning .30 caliber machine gun had a long life. Owing to its reputation as a robust and reliable weapon, the Browning gas/blowback design was in use with the US Military from WW1 until Viet Nam, a span of over fifty years. That a weapon designed in WW1 could serve so long and outlive so many other designs is a testament to the genius of John Browning, whose other contributions to American military arsenals included the .50 caliber MG, the 1911 series automatic pistols, and the Browning Automatic Rifle.
The Browning light machine gun was to be replaced by the M60 for service in Viet Nam. Considered by few to be an improvement on the 1919A4, after a relatively short service life the M60 was replaced by newer FN designs. The 1919A4 remained in service in developing countries until the end of the 20th century, and will doubtless still be showing up in scattered use well into the 21st century.

The 2S25 is a self-propelled anti-tank armoured vehicle developed and manufactured by the Russian Defense Company Volgograd Tractor Plant Joint Stock Company to meet the requirements of the Russian airborne troops. In mid-2001, Volgograd Tractor Plant started the development of the 2S25, this one lasted several years. The 2S25 is also known under the denomination of Sprut-SD. The 2S25 Sprut-SD is designed to defeat tanks, hard-skinned materiel and enemy manpower by airborne and amphibious landing forces, as well as by special-designate units of ground forces. The 2S25 is an armoured tracked amphibious vehicle as powerful as T-72 and T-80 tanks and as manoeuvrable and swim-capable as airborne infantry combat vehicles. The 2S25 Sprut-SD can be used by units of ground forces and naval infantry as a light amphibious tank. The 2S25 Sprut-SD is based on the BMD-3 chassis. According to Russian information, the Russian Army placed an initial contract for a total of 15 2S25 SPATG in three batches of five vehicles each in 2005. This was followed by a second batch of 45 units with the total requirement being for up to 85-110 units.

The Special Weapons Observation Reconnaissance Detection System The Special Weapons Observation Reconnaissance Detection System or SWORDS are Talon robots first used in the detection and removal of explosives that have been modified with mounted weapons. The SWORDS are radio controlled and can be equipped with machine guns, rifles, grenade launchers and anti-tank rocket launchers. With armed robots already in use in Iraq, some predict this is the dawn of a new era of warfare and it’s only a matter of time before armed robot units make up the bulk of the modern army, and maybe even start thinking for themselves.                                                                 Tippmann X7 Ok, so you've read some reviews about other markers - and they seem pretty cool, right?

After the 1987 Bofors gun deal controversy, army has not been able to induct even a single piece of artillery. Defence Ministry sources today said the process of procuring the M-777 guns from US-based BAE system has run into trouble. "Right now there is no progress in their procurement process," they said.                                                                U.S. Army Weapons The regular U.S. Army has an arsenal of various weapons, from small arms to anti-tank weapons. During Basic Training (BCT) every Soldier must qualify with his/her standard rifle, the M16 (America's Army models the M16A2, but the Army has transitioned to the M16A3 and M16A4 models). Soldiers also train with a variety of other weapons during BCT, including the M249 Squad Assault Rifle (SAW), the M67 Fragmentary Grenade and the AT4 Anti-Armor Rocket. Depending on a Soldier's particular Military Occupational Specialty (MOS) they might also train and qualify with weapons such as the M203 Grenade, the M2 .50 cal Machine Gun and/or the Javelin Missile System. Many Infantry and Ranger units now employ the M4A1 Carbine Rifle, a more compact variant of the M16, due to its success in close-quarters and urban combat environments. Today the M4A1 is often seen outfitted with a variety of special sighting attachments such as the M68 Aimpoint or the ACOG Reflex. With the addition of America's Army: Special Forces, new weapons and modifications have become available. Although some of these weapons are only accessible upon completion of certain training requirements. The M9 pistol is assigned to Advanced Marksman (Snipers) as a means of secondary self-defense upon primary weapon malfunction or in the event of a close-quarters combat (CQB) situation when the primary weapon expends its current magazine and a combat reload isn't feasible. Additionally, when playing as an Indigenous Forces Soldier, during Special Forces missions, certain foreign weapons will be assigned (such as the RPG-7 anti-tank weapon, AK-74 5.45mm assault rifle and RPK light machine gun). Once Special Forces training has been completed several additional weapons will become available, such as the M4A1 SOPMOD, which supports a variety of specialized sighting and other attachments. Additionally, as a Special Forces Weapons Sergeant (18B) the Special Purpose Rifle (SPR) is provided as a light sniper weapon.                                M4A1 SOPMOD (Special Operations Peculuiar Modification) Ammunition: 5.56x45mm NATO Max Effective Rate Of Fire: 45 rounds per minute (semi-auto) 90 rounds per minute (3-round burst) 700-1000 rounds per minute (auto) Range: 274m (max) Muzzle Velocity: 924m/s Length: 29.9in with stock extended, 26.8 with stock collapsed Firing Modes: Semiautomatic (single round per trigger depress)Automatic (unlimited rounds per trigger depress) Ammo Capacity: 30-round magazinesSpecial Features / Attachments: Iron SightsACOG Reflex Sight M68 Aimpoint M203 40mm Grenade Launcher Suppressor Harris Bipod Mission Role / Assignment: Infantry Squad Leader Infantry Fire Team Leader  Ranger Rifleman  Special Forces Weapon Sergeant (18C)                                                 M16A2 / M203 Grenade Launcher Features:Semiautomatic, or burst fire only, grenade launcher, leaf sight Caliber:5.56x45mm NATO, and 40mm high explosive grenade Ammunition Capacity:30 round box magazine, grenades vary Rate Of Fire:12-15rpm (sustained), 45rpm (semi), 90rpm (burst), grenade is single shot only and must be reloaded after each shot Range:M16 component, 800m (max), 550m (effective); M203 component, 350yd (max for area target), 150yd (max for point target) Muzzle Velocity:975m/s Length:39.63in Firing Modes: Semiautomatic (single round per trigger depress)Burst (3 rounds per trigger depress) Ammo Capacity:30-round magazines Special Features / Attachments:Iron SightsLeaf Sight (M203) M203 40mm Grenade Launcher                                                                           M82A1 SAMR Features:Semiautomatic, bipod, 10x scope Caliber:12.7x99mm (.50 cal BMG) Ammunition Capacity:10 round box magazine Rate Of Fire:NA Range:1800m (max effective) Muzzle Velocity:893m/s Length:57in Firing Modes: Semiautomatic (single round per trigger depress) Ammo Capacity:10-round box Special Features / Attachments:10x Day ScopeIntegrated Bipod Mission Role / Assignment:Advanced Marksman                                                     MK 12 MOD 0 Special Purpose Rifle (SPR) Features:Semiautomatic, bipod, 10x scope Caliber:12.7x99mm (.50 cal BMG) Ammunition Capacity:10 round box magazine Rate Of Fire:NA Range:1800m (max effective) Muzzle Velocity:893m/s Length:57in Firing Modes: Semiautomatic (single round per trigger depress) Ammo Capacity:10-round box Special Features / Attachments:10x Day Scope Integrated Bipod Mission Role / Assignment: Advanced Marksman                                                                      M9 Beretta Pisto Features: Semiautomatic only Caliber: 9x19mm NATO Ammunition Capacity: 15 round box magazine Rate Of Fire: NA Range: 50m Muzzle Velocity: 365m/s Length: 8.54in                                                            Javelin Anti-tank Missile Features: Single-Shot, Fire and Forget.
