Military Weapons Phase 2

A Rifle could shoot a bullet up to 1,000 yards–and were more accurate. However, until the 1850s it was nearly impossible to use these guns in battle because, since a rifle’s bullet had roughly the same diameter as its barrel, they took too long to load. (Soldiers sometimes had to pound the bullet into the barrel with a mallet.)

FUN FACT: Depending on the compound in the back of the bullet will decide what color the trail burns. (The trail can be orange, green, blue, white, red, or pink .) Why Was It Made It was created to be used in aircrafts so that the gunmen could see if they were hitting their target. At first, the bullet could only go 100 yards or so but with recent updates, the bullet can go 600 yards or more depending on the gun.

In this short paper I will go over my thoughts on this week’s assigned course reading. This week we were instructed to read Chapter Four of the FTA 215 course text. This chapter covered Tools, Maintenance, and Repair of the AR-15 platform rifle.

Spurr moves on to describe how the Yamato was the pinnacle of battleship design despite the fact that it had fatal flaws which would cost the ship dearly later. The vessel sported the largest guns ever placed on naval vessel, radar, and a massively armored section amidships. Yamato had been envisioned as having a top speed of 31 knots but the design was cut back to 27 knots when the Japanese doubted the American Navy would ever have ships that fast. The book clarifies how innovations like a flooding system used to correct listing proved ineffective, if not disastrous, during the Yamato’s final hours. Spurr also points out that of the five planned sister ships for Yamato only the Musahi was completed, the others were never built or were converted into carriers. Much of the first quarter of the book highlights that the age of the battleship was fading almost as quickly as it had come.

In this module you design a rocket and you launch it at the end of the quarter. You also paint your rocket with the colors you like. In this module you learn about how a rocket is launched and how they control the rocket. You also learn about the main people that contributed to the research and tested the rockets.

Another very powerful gun that was used in World War II was the Submarine guns. The submarine guns are much stronger and better than normal guns due to the fact that they have better firing distances (Military History 7). The submarine gun was built mainly for endurance and for accuracy. This gun had the accuracy to fire from 800 to at least 1,000 yards away and delivers a powerful blow to its victims. One problem which the gun had was the fact that it could dislocate a soldiers arm whenever it was fired. But finally the submarine gun was improved and is now less powerful which makes it easier for firing full automatic rounds along with pistol rounds (8).

This weapon was typically on a tripod to steady the bouncing that came with automatic fire. One of the more unpredictable attacks came from the Arisaka Bolt-Action Rifle. Rifles were recognized in WWII for their long range and accuracy. This gun could be used with or without a scope. When scoped, range was greatly increased, as the shooter could see farther distances and put a round down range with precision. Though this wasn’t the primary weapon for most of the soldiers, it was favored by snipers for its precision at long ranges.

Hold your breath and also fire your tool to knock down as much activity vehicles as you can. Value the # 1 most innovative very first person specialist marksman shooter diversion in deep space.

This Paper will tell you about three great weapons from the 5th to 6th centuries. It will also tell you about how they affected the wars they were in. The three weapons are Greek Fire ,Siege Towers ,and Battering Rams.

The radar systems used today gives them that capability. This technology will continue to advance to greater distances as time goes on and the systems get stronger. The radar systems play a vital role in the capabilities of Great Britain’s air defense weapons used today. It allows the troops to see incoming threats on their position or a position they are defending. These systems make enemy forces think twice before engaging. One of the air defense systems used by Great Britain today is the starstreak high velocity missile. With the capability to engage threats from low flying aircraft. The weapon has the capability to engage targets from over five kilometers away. Another defense system that Great Britain uses today is the guided multiple launch rocket system. This guided missile system can engage targets up to seventy kilometers away. The guided missile launch rocket system is currently operating in the southern region of Afghanistan. Working alongside the American forces also operating in the same region. It carries twelve missiles that can fire all twelve rounds in just forty seconds. All rounds delivering a two hundred pound warhead ready to take out any target necessary. The three man crew does not even need to leave the cab of the vehicle to release destruction upon its target. This next air defense weapon in use by Great Britain soldiers today is the rapier. A short range air defense weapon system destined to take out fixed winged aircraft and cruise missiles. The rapier is a mobile weapon system with the capability of targeting two targets at once. Being a compact missile system makes it easy for this weapon to deploy for worldwide operations. With a range of just over eight kilometers to engage incoming targets at an alarming rate. All these weapons showing the strength and power that Great

Achieving accuracy when firing shipboard guns has always been problematic when compared to the accuracy of land-based artillery. The root cause of the inaccuracy was the rolling of the ship, causing the angle of the gun’s barrel to continuously change.

With tanks, tank destroyers were one of the most fascinating creations. Their sole purpose that is in the name is to

The M16 With its light weight of less than six pounds and its powerful ammunition, small 5.56mm circumference, short 38.80 inch long body, a whipping 3,250 feet per second muzzle velocity, and a maximum efficiency range of 460 meters the M16 is the most versatile standard issue rifle of any army. You may think that the brains of the government's army may have devised the plan to make the M16, but it was none other than the brains of John Hopkins University where the development of the M16 first began in September of the year of 1948.1 The ability of being selective firing was the main point of interest for the army. Also another high point is that the ammunition must be able to pierce a steel helmet from 500 meters

A coilgun (aka gun Gauss, Gauss Gauss cannon or rifle) is a type of gun that uses a series of electromagnets for magnetically accelerate a projectile at high speed. The name "Gauss gun" comes from Carl Friedrich Gauss, who formulated the mathematical proofs of the electromagnetic effect used by Gauss cannons.

These new age sights employ technology like never before, with focal plane ranging reticles. This use of technology makes it possible for even an inexperienced shooter or even someone who has never fired a gun–like the ones making the decisions–to be able make accurate shots out to 800 meters. This would make it to where the 140,000 frontline soldiers could be trained in the field of rifleman in just a matter of days instead of weeks or months, making it a possibility and not a wild fantasy to have all 140,000 men and women trained
