From what they said, this family did make an effort to take extra food and warm clothing, probably the reason three of them survived. I'm just guessing here, but I think it might have something to do with the husband being a CNet editor. It's hard to imagine a guy like that not bringing some...

Doesn't look good. I can't think of any rational reason to go off-road when he's already lost. The road is the only reference point he has.

Of course we want to kill them. We also want to deny them the weapons and tools to wage war. That is a constant in all wars. It's no different than bombing Nazi tank factories and Japanese shipyards, or the Israelis going after the bombmakers. I don't understand why people are making a Second...

Are you guys kidding me? What does this have to do with gun control? We're at war, we don't want the enemy to have weapons. What am I missing here?

Well I've stated clearly it is a propaganda video, so that the reader can make an informed decision to see it or not. I for one think it's better to be informed. I'm somewhat alarmed by this development. I had thought the only sniping weapons they had were leftover Dragunovs. There must be a...

This link has lots of good pictures. Looks like a short stroke gas piston, but not the SKS type, almost look like an AR-18 doesn't it? http://www.assaultweb.net/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=3;t=007333;p=0#000009 It seems Norinco was just about to start exporting it here when the...

This is a propaganda video of what appears to be Iraqis building scoped rifles for sniping purposes. An AK is given a bullpup modification, probably for shooting from vehicles. A scoped supressed bolt gun is test fired. Finally a scene from their supressor making factory where they show off...

Ah, thanks for the replies, Jim and Unspellable.

What system did the Mauser C-96 use?

Missiles are moving really really fast. There's only a few seconds to respond. You can throw up a wall of fire and score just one hit. That hit better do it or your ship is toast. And by that I don't mean shoot it down, I mean hit it hard enough to stop all the warhead and rocket fuel from...

The picture in Braith-Wafer's post is the action of the Danuvia 39M/43M submachine gun. This was the action developed by Paul de Kiraly for the Hungarian army to handle the 9mm Mauser, which was much more powerful than 9mm Para. If I recall correctly Kiraly invented this action while working for...

On that note I recommend: Fording Canadian Coal Trust (FDG) Royal Bank of Canada (RY) Australia & New Zealand Banking Group Ltd. (ANZ)

If US economy crash, so does China's. If China's economy crash, the communist leadership will be thrown out very quickly. Hence the Chinese would be extremely interested in the economic well being of the US, perhaps more so than any other country in the world. As for "calling our debt", there's...

Czech Mauser was captured and used by the Germans, it was also sold to China and used by both the Chinese and Japanese in that theater. Belgian Mausers also saw use in Europe and Asia.

I was reading that Iraqi troops will shoot into the air during patrols as a way of coordinating their position with other patrols. It's their version of "can you hear me now".

Arrrgh, stupid link. There was a pic of a Star 45acp.

If permitted to change more than one thing, I'll probably have it look like this:

I'm not sure if any WWII subguns worked by API. Most post war subguns used this principle. i.e. Sterling, Carl Gustav M45, Uzi, etc.

As I read from Small Arms Review and elsewhere, the 5.8mm was selected from several alternatives to the 7.62x39. There was also a 6mm and 6.2mm loading. The 5.8mm was chosen because in the end, lightweight took priority over ballistic performance. The Chinese wanted a steel cartridge round to...

Chinaman is a derogatory term to show the Chinese as abnormal and distinct from other people. For example the proper English is to say Frenchmen and Irishmen, not Franceman and Irelandman. The term Chinaman is reserved for racial slurrs. Kindly use Chinese, or Chineseman and it would be both...
