Minigun

Army and Weapons | Minigun | Minigun is a term used to describe a type of multiple-barreled rifle, Gatling-derived high-level play with fire usually found external support (IE: Pneumatics, Electrical). The gun may fire several thousand rounds per minute. It's often just use the plane. Miniguns may have to take a few seconds to get the barrel spinning before unleashing a heavy load of lead because if it does not wait, round barrel will cut apart and jam it. It can reach speeds of rotation up to 6000 + RPM (revolutions Per Minute). There are several types of miniguns, the most common being GShG-7.62 Minigun and M134, both fire around 6000 rounds per minute.

The M134 Minigun is a 7.62 mm, six-barrel machine gun with a high rate of fire (2,000 to 6,000 rounds per minute). It features a Gatling-style rotating barrels with an external power source, usually an electric motor. The "Mini" of the name is in comparison to designs that use a similar firing mechanism but larger shells, such as the previous 20-millimeter M61 Vulcan General Electric, and "weapon" for the smaller caliber sizes of guns, typically 20 mm and higher .

"Minigun" refers to a particular model of weapon, originally produced by General Electric. But the term "minigun" has been popular come to refer to any externally-powered Gatling gun caliber rifle. The term is also used to refer to the weapons of the same level of fire and sometimes configuration, regardless of power source and caliber.

The ancestor to the modern minigun was made in the 1860s. Richard Jordan Gatling replaced the hand rotate the rifle-caliber Gatling gun mechanism with an electric motor, a relatively new invention at the time. Even after Gatling slowed down the mechanism, electric-powered Gatling gun only has a theoretical rate of fire of 3,000 rounds per minute, roughly three times the rate of a typical modern gun, single barrel machine. Gatling's electric-powered design received U.S. Patent # 502,185 on July 25, 1893. Despite Gatling's improvements, the Gatling gun fell into disuse after cheaper, lighter-weight, recoil and gas operated machine guns were created.

SIG 540

Army and Weapons | SIG 540 | SIG 540 is an assault rifle of the Swiss lines. Used by many soldiers, it is a symbol SIG Sauer, a company from Switzerland. French FAMAS use until replaced by troops Chile, Portugal, and Brazil are also users SIG 540. Many troops in Africa are still using this weapon. The SG540 is chambered for the 5.56x45 NATO round, which was held in a 30-round magazine. It has a high reliability and accuracy. SG 540 is air-cooled, gas-operated, selective fire assault rifle that fires from a closed bolt position. SIG designers used long-stroke piston-driven action (with the recoil spring wrapped around the piston rod itself) and adjustable gas regulator with three settings: "0"-which is used to launch rifle grenades, "1"-which is used in normal operation conditions and "2" are used in extreme environmental conditions or in the presence of heavy fouling. Firearms locked into battery by rotating bolt with two locking lugs heavy steel. Bolt head turned by the control cam picks up the helical slot machines to the bolt carrier.

When the shot was fired, propellant gases from the barrel inserted into the gas tube located above the barrel and put pressure back on the piston rod, which pushed back the bolt carrier. After a number of free travel built into the system to allow the projectile to go, the pressure drop in the residual gas barrels birth to a safe level, which allows the breech to be opened. Cam slot in the bolt carrier to actuate results Camming at stud bolts, rotate the bolt head out of engagement with the locking abutments in the receiver. Extracted the spent cartridge casing extractor claw contained within the bolt assembly while a bulge in one of the internal rail operator manual bolt at the top of the receiver acts as a fixed ejector, remove the casing through the port on the right side of the receiver housing.

The difference between the SG 542 and SG 540 was primarily the result of adopting, more powerful full-size rifle cartridge. SG 542 also uses a box magazine usually 20/30-round (5 and 10 magazines were also produced), but the view is modified by setting m 600 m next to the viewing position Drum 100, 300 and 500.

SG 543 carbine is a short variant of the SG 540 which has been modified with a shorter 300 mm (11.8 in) barrel, a shorter gas tube and piston rods and different handguard and sights with 100, 200, 300 and 400 m positions firing range. SG 543 has no integral bipod of the SG 540/542 and reduced the barrel can not be used to fire rifle grenades. SG 540 served as the basis for SG 541 prototype, which will be 550 SG which entered service with the Swiss Army as Stgw 90 (Sturmgewehr 90).

In addition, two semi-automatic variants produced by Manurhin between the 1970s and the early 1980s specifically for the European civilian market: FSA Manurhin called SIG and SIG Manurhin CSA This rifle chambered in .222 Remington and .243 Winchester respectively. Both are available with either a 5-round or 30-round magazine is reduced, and the choice of folding or fixed stock. The chambering is unusual for this type of military-style rifle was an attempt to comply with regulations in certain European countries imposed restrictions on civilian ownership of "military" cartridges such as the 5.56x45mm or 7.62x51mm NATO/.308 NATO/.223 Remington Winchester

CETME mod.A

Army and Weapons | CETME mod.A | The state of the Spanish company CETME (Centro de Estudios Tecnicos de materiales especiales - Special Materials Technical Studies Center, now known as Empresa National Santa Barbara) was established in 1949 to develop a small arms range of the Spanish army. At the same time arms used Vorgrimler German designer Ludwig, who worked for the famous Mauser Werke in Germany before and during World War 2. Vorgrimler is the designer of the experimental German assault rifle, known as "Gerat 06" or Stg.45 (M). The rifle was not produced in quantity, but the design is presented as a basis for further development in the CETME, and more importantly, in another German company, Heckler & Koch, which obtained a license for the gun design Vorgrimler / CETME around 1957. This deal later resulted in the famous family from H & K weapons, like the G3 and HK33 assault rifles, HK21 and HK23 machine guns, MP5 submachine guns and various other small arms that reached worldwide popularity. All the weapons are built using delayed blowback operating system, designed by Vorgrimler and his men at the Mauser in 1945 and refined by CETME.

 

Initial assault rifle development at the CETME carried around between proprietary cartridge, known as 7.92x40mm CETME. This display bullet cartridges are long and slender, made of aluminum. The overall design was found adequate, but cartridge was rejected for the 7.62x51mm round with lighter bullet and a reduced powder charge. Improved rifle entered serial production in 1956 and was adopted by the Spanish army in 1957. In 1958 CETME introduced a slightly improved design, known as Modelo B or Model 58. The rifle is intended to reduce the burden of fire 7.62x51mm but also could fire the standard 7.62mm NATO, if the bolt and return spring replaced with a set of corresponding sections. In 1964, CETME introduced the Modelo C, which was also adopted by Spanish Army, Navy and Air Force. The rifle was intended to fire only standard, full-power ammunition 7.62x51mm NATO. The main improvement is the 4-position diopter sights (instead of the previous type leaves open sights), wooden handguards instead of earlier steel, bipod was made as a separate part and, most importantly, the room was fluted to improve extraction and avoid torn rims and cartridge case failures in conditions harsh environments. Modelo C rifle stopped production in 1976, and in the 1980s it has been gradually replaced by its 5.56mm derivative, CETME Modelo L assault rifle.All 7.62mm CETME rifles are built around a system of roller delayed Vorgrimlers' blowback. The system uses a two-piece bolt with two rollers. Front bolt part (bolt head) is relatively light and has a bolt face with extractor on it. It also has a hollow cavity in the rear, where an inclined forward end of the rear bolt (bolt body) is inserted. The system has two rollers, inserted from the side of the bolt head and the rest in the sloping front end of the body bolts. When the gun is fired, the pressure began to move the cartridge back against the bolt face. Roller, which extended into the recesses of the barrel extension, began to move into the into the bolt head, due to its sloping of niches.  

This movement translates into the faster rearward movement of the bolt body weight, so that, at the initial moments of shot, when pressure in the chamber is still high, bolt face moves relatively slowly. When the pressure drops to a reasonable level, rollers detach barrel extension completely and from this moment on the bolt head and the bolt body move backward at the same speed, extracting and ejecting spent case and chambering the fresh cartridge on the way back. All CETME rifle firing from a closed bolt. Hammer fired trigger mechanism, and in military versions is capable in semi-automatic mode and full automatic fire. In early models the safety / fire mode selector switch located above the trigger on the right side of the gun. Security model of C / selector switch was moved to the left side of the gun. 

The receiver is made from steel sheet stampings, and trigger housing group, which is hinged to the receiver just behind the magazine. Early models (prior to Modelo C) issued with integral folding metallic bipods and open leaf-type rear sight. The Modelo C rifles issued with wooden handguards and a separate detachable bipods. Rear sights were replaced by the 4-position diopter sights, marked for the 100-400 meter range. All rifles featuring wooden buttstock and folding carrying handle on top of the receiver. The flash hider of the Modelo C rifles set up to accept and launch NATO-standard rifle grenades. Most of the rifles issued to the magazine capacity of 20 rounds and made of steel, but 30 round magazines are also available.

Negev Machine Gun (Israel)

Army and Weapons | Negev Machine Gun (Israel) | Negev Machine Gun Israel, During late eighties IDF requested a development of the 5,56mm light machine gun which could complement reliable, but overly heavy 7,62mm FN MAG machine guns for foot soldiers. The goal was to design a tactical equivalent of the FN Minimi light machine gun,which was tested by IDF but for some reasons was not adopted. First prototypes of the new LMG, developed by Israeli Military Industries Company (now a privately-owned Israeli Weapons Inc) were issued to elite IDF Givati brigade in limited numbers for field testing in 1993.

 

Those early weapons developed a lot of problems with feed reliability and high sensitivity to sand and dust, and further development took about three more years. Starting circa 1996 IMI began to deliver Negev machine guns in limited numbers, and by about 2002 it became more or less a standard issue LMG across the IDF. Negev is favored by Israeli soldiers because it is much lighter and maneuverable than venerable FNMAG, and can be easily manned by single soldier. On the other hand, itis more sensitive to sand and dust that the MAG, and requires more care and cleaning; it also lacks the range and punch of the true GPMG, therefore both 7,62mm MAG and 5,56mm Negev continue to serve in IDF side to side, which obviously is most logical solution.

Negev is a gas-operated, air-cooled light machine gun. It features quick-detachable barrels, with two barrel sizes available –Standard (long) and Commando (short).  Negev machine gun utilizes long-stroke gas piston system located below the barrel. Gas system is fitted with three-position gas regulator, with first (minimum) position used to fire when fed from magazines, second when firing from belts in normal conditions and third – when firing belts under adverse conditions. The gas regulator setting also affects the cyclic rate of fire (position #1 – lowest rate, #3 – highest). The gas piston is attached to the bolt group by dual operating rods, running at either side of receiver, to provide necessary clearance for centrally mounted magazine housing. Barrel locking is achieved by rotating the bolt with four massive radial lugs which engages the cuts in the breech of the barrel.

 Firing is from open bolt, and gun provides selective fire capability through three-position manual safety-fire selector,located on the left side of the pistol grip. Negev machine gun features dual feed system, so it can alternatively use standard disintegrating belts or detachable box magazines. Belt feed unit is installed on the top of receiver, with belt feeding direction from left to right. Belt feed is operated by the side-mounted swinging lever,which is operated by cam track cut in the side of the bolt carrier(system somewhat similar to that used in post-WW2 Czechoslovak machine guns). Magazine housing is located below the receiver, with magazine being inserted vertically up. Ejection window for empty cases is at theright side of receiver, just below the empty link ejection window. 

By default, magazine housing will accept proprietary box magazines originally designed for 5,56mm Galil assault rifle,with 35-round capacity. An adapter can be installed in magazine housing to use STANAG-compatible (M16-type) 30-round magazines. Belts are usually fed from semi-rigid “assault pouches” with 150- or 200-round capacity. These pouches are clipped to machine gun below the receiver, using special projection at the top which is inserted into magazine housing and locked there using magazine catch. Early pouches were of circular (drum) shape, but later these were replaced with more rigid and reliable pouches of semi-circular shape. When not in use,magazine housing is protected by spring-loaded dust-covers.

Standard furniture includes polymer pistol grip, polymer handguard, and a side-folding Galil-type skeletonized buttstock. A lightweight detachable folding bipod is attached to the gas tube. It is interesting to note that when fitted with short (Commando) barrel and box magazine, and with bipod removed,Negev represents a formidable assault rifle, although it is somewhat heavy by rifle standards. It can be used as an effective CQB weapon,providing high maneuverability in confined spaces, with added benefit of serious firepower, thanks to its relatively heavy and quick-changeable barrel.

M1911 Pistol

Army and Weapons | M1911 Pistol | The M1911 Semi-Automatic Pistol is a single action short recoil-operated semi-automatic pistol, chambered in .45 ACP. It features a 7 round magazine and has an effective range of approximately 50 meters. The M1911 produced by Colt was the standard sidearm of the U.S. military from 1911 to 1985.  The history of the Colt M1911 began in early 1900s, when famous designer John M. Browning began to develop semi-automatic pistols for Colt's Patent Firearms Manufacturing Company. In 1905, Browning designed two .45 cal. semi-automatic pistols in response to government interest in a higher-caliber sidearm to replace the standard-issue .38 cal. 

Revolvers then in use (primarily the Colt M1892). The two designs were hammer and hammerless versions of the same basic design and show a clear resemblance to the M1911. In 1906-1907 the U.S. military tested several semi-automatic pistols including designs from Colt, Luger, Savage, and others. These weapons were deemed unsatisfactory for military use and the competitors were asked to improve their designs in anticipation of new trials in 1910. The Colt Model 1905 remained a popular civilian pistol. 

However, Browning and Colt spent the next three years engineering improvements to the Model 1905. In 1911, after further extensive testing, the new pistol and its cartridge were adopted for U.S. military service as the M1911. Prior to and during World War I, more than one million of these guns were manufactured by Colt, Springfield Armory, Remington UMC, Burroughs, Savage, and others.  The rights to manufacture Colt/Browning design were also sold to some foreign countries, such as Norway and Argentina.  The M1911 is a short-recoil operated, locked breech, semi-automatic pistol. It has a single action trigger with a frame-mounted safety that locks the hammer and slide. The hammer can be locked by the manual safety in the cocked position only. An additional "grip" safety is incorporated into the rear of the grip that locks the trigger when the gun is not held in the hand properly.

The barrel and slide are interlocked via lugs on the upper part of the barrel, just ahead of the chamber. After firing, the barrel and slide recoil for a short distance, before the rear part of the barrel is lowered by a tilting link that separates the barrel from the slide. The slide continues back, extracting and ejecting the spent case, compressing a recoil spring located under the barrel, and cocking the hammer. The recoil spring then returns the slide and barrel to battery, chambering a new round on the way back. When the magazine is empty, the magazine follower activates the slide stop, locking the slide in the open (rear) position. The gun is fed from a single stack, seven-round magazine. The magazine release button is located on the left side of the frame, just behind the trigger guard.

8 round magazines are also available for the M1911, and some variants offer "double-stack" magazines that hold 14 rounds. Recoil operation is based on the law of conservation of momentum (Newton's Third Law, commonly paraphrased as "every action has an equal but opposite reaction"). In a recoil-operated firearm such as the M1911, the momentum of the projectile traveling forward out of the barrel is balanced by an equivalent recoil force acting on the barrel/slide assembly in the rearward direction. 

A recoil-operated self-loading firearm depends on proper "tuning" of the projectile's momentum (its mass multiplied by its velocity) so that there is sufficient recoil force generated to perform the extraction, ejection, and chambering of the next round. Optimal operation of a standard M1911 occurs with the use of .45 ACP ammunition weighing 230 grains traveling at approximately 250 meters/second. 

Modern Gov't/1911 variants may differ, more or less, from this description: some guns may have widebody frames that can accept dual stack, high capacity magazines; frames could be made from steel, aluminum alloys or polymer; some could have Double Action or even Double Action Only triggers, ambidextrous safety switches and slide stops, and other modifications. There are compact variants of the M1911, and variants of the M1911 that are different calibers; 9x19mm Parabellum variants are fairly common. The Colt Delta Elite is a M1911 modified to accept the 10mm Auto cartridge.

M240 Refile

Army and Weapons | M240 Refile | M240 was adopted by the U.S. military in 1977. The M60E4 (Mk 43 set by the U.S. Navy) was pitted against the (then called) M240E4 the Army trials in the 1990s for infantry medium machine gun new, in the competition to replace the decades M60s. M240E4 win, and then classified as the M240B. This led to 1000 existing M240 sent to FN for repairs and a special kit that modified them for use on ground (such as stocks, rails, etc.). This led to procurement contracts in the late 1990s for all-new M240B.

 

However, new features are added, hydraulic buffer system to reduce fear as incorporated in the M60. While the M240B had been more reliable in the tests, it's a few pounds heavier than the M60E4, and there is a program underway for a new medium-light machine guns in the early 2000s. The Army M240 converted M240B configuration should not be confused with a large number M240D converted into M240G configuration for the Marine Corps.

Clearing the weapon is done by ensuring the bolt locked to the rear and the weapon is on safe. Feed tray cover is then lifted, the remaining belt (if any) are swept out of the feed tray, the feed tray is lifted to visually inspect the back of the barrel and bolt face. Any links or brass casings removed. The weapon is now clear. In the rare event that the cycle of life is on the bolt face, knocking it loose with a cleaning rod or another rigid object. If there is a live round lodged in the barrel, the operator must immediately decide if the barrel is hot enough that there was a chance to cook off. If anything, he will immediately move his face away from the opening gun. 

 

He then had to wait for the barrel to cool before attempting to remove it. In many cases, attempting to remove the barrel will cause the round to detonate as soon as the barrel is opened by the recipient. Operators can also try to extract the round by taking the weapon off of safe, pulling the trigger and pull back on the charging handle. It has a fair chance of causing a firearm, so care must be taken to ensure that the weapons are pointed toward safe first.

Bullpup Rifle

 

Army and Weapons | Bullpup Rifle | Bullpup configuration weapons are where the action (or mechanism) and magazine are located behind the trigger. This increases the barrel length relative to the overall length of the weapon, allowing the short to long-barreled guns of the same, saving weight and increasing maneuverability. This allows for a longer barrel guns alternatives of the same length, improving trajectory and effective range. This concept was first used in a bolt-action rifle as Thorneycroft carbine of 1901, and is known to have been applied to semi-automatic firearms in 1918 (6.5 mm French Faucon-Meunier semi-automatic rifle developed by Lieutenant Colonel

 

Armand-Frédéric Faucon, then in 1936 a bullpup pistol patented by the French Henri Delacre. A 7.62 mm caliber experimental assault rifle developed by Korovin in the Soviet Union in 1945. England have been considering the idea of ​​bullpup service rifle since 1944. Two designs, EM-1 and EM-2 which was developed by the British as a substitute for a separate pistol, submachine guns and shotguns. Bullpup design options is a must to maintain accuracy while keeping the overall length down. EM-2 was adopted by the British in 1951 as the world's first rifle (limited) service bullpup but was soon replaced by the adoption of the 7.62 x 51 mm NATO cartridge.

 

Bullpups began a major military weapons in the 1970's with the introduction of the Steyr AUG and FAMAS in Austria and France, respectively (AUG later became standard military rifle for the problem some other countries). In 1985, Britain followed suit with the introduction of the SA80. Today, bullpups are common in modern military weaponry, and make a substantial minority of military small arms.

 

Recently, Israel, Singapore, Iran, and China has adopted all bullpup rifle designed and manufactured locally. The F2000 can only be adopted by a number of countries. New bullpup rifle actually exceeded new-layout conventional military rifle designed and introduced in recent years. Some mention the increasingly urban nature of the war as a reason for their popularity increased, the short-term they become useful in CQC (close quarter combat).

Deadly Ruger GP100 revolver

Army and Weapons | Deadly Ruger GP100 revolver | The GP100 is a family / double action revolvers, the line made by Ruger, manufactured in the United States, and in production since 1985. GP100s are the 6-shot design and all-steel construction capable of handling high .357 magnum loads.

Weight: 2.2 pounds (1,000 grams of 4 ", 1300 g 6") The type of the sights and barrel profile affects the weight of the turret. These weights are representative of the most common configurations. Barrel lengths: 3 "(76mm) 4" (102 mm), 5 "(127mm) and 6" (152mm) The run of 5 "GP100 revolver was the result of a special request from a major distributor of Double Action .. The GP100 can be fired by either brought the hammer and then pulling the trigger (aka Single Action), or by just pulling the trigger when the hammer is not cocked.

Maximum effective range: 55 to 110 yards (50 to 100 meters) depending on barrel length, cartridge load, and additional optical sights. Projectiles of this weapon can still be dangerous to several thousand meters from the muzzle under optimal conditions. The quoted range is more a function of the useful range of a typical gun than a statement of the maximum lethal range of the projectiles. 6-Shot .357 Magnum and .38 Special and .327 Federal Magnum 7-Shot.

Triple cylinder. When the cylinder is closed and the gun at the time of firing, the cylinder valve locked in the frame at the front and back of the valve and the cylinder at the bottom of the tap. Disassembles fairly easily into three major modules with limited use of tools. This allows the user to easily clean the gun after shooting. The design of the gun frame eliminates the need for a "side plate", a feature that contributes to the GP100 reputation for strength.
The GP100 is a typical medium-frame double-action revolver. For those who do not know, double-action means that the effort may be fired by the hammer manually, or by just pressing the trigger alone.

It is chambered for the .357 Remington Magnum cartridge, which means it can also use .38 S & W Special ammunition. This is a very versatile chambering, the high power magnum ammunition may be used for hunting and personal defense, while the lower-power special ammunition, usually less expensive and with less recoil, can be used for training and education.
This particular revolver was Ruger's item number KGP141. The construction is stainless steel with a 4 "barrel and adjustable rear sight. It is" full size "as a duty to police the weapon for example. It's great band for walking or fishing or camping" out in the middle of nowhere, especially since Cougar-human encounters are on the rise, as cougar populations flourish because cougar hunting was a few years ago limited.

It uses its own 12.5x40mm STS-110 32 mm cartridge developed from a shotgun cartridge. It can cause fire, armor-piercing shot and steel balls. The gun is so smooth and lacks precision but has a high muzzle velocity and power.

Intended for close-in combat. This monstrous gun was developed about 1993 by Central Design Bureau for Hunting and Sporting Arms (TsKIB SOO) in the city of Tula. It was developed under the R & D program "Udar" (slap), initiated by Russian MVD (Interior Ministry) at the time, was looking for a more versatile and powerful gun for the police "street", to old and replace venerable Makarov PM pistols. New revolver was greatly enchanced have stopping power with standard ammunition (lead bullet), and significant penetration into a steel plate with a special effect against armor piercing round (pointed steel ball). Other types of ammunition are less-lethal rubber bullets or tear gas rounds. New ammunition was developed by the shortening of 32 gauge shotgun shells on 40mm, and loading it with the appropriate propellant and projectiles. It seems that the whole concept of the "Udar" R & D program, the big bore revolver police, was with little enthusiasm by the actual users, and only a few revolvers OTs-20 were made during the mid and late 1990

The OTS-20 "Gnome" gun is a conventional double-action revolver with exposed hammer and side-opening cylinder that holds five rounds. The only deviation from 'normal' in this gun is that it is a smooth (not drawn) Crome lined bore, and so the accuracy is sufficient but for very short-range encounters.
It is chambered for special 12.5x40mm cartridge developed from a 32 mm hunting cartridge case with steel and lead bullets and shot shell.
