The Guardian Angel contains two cylinders with powerful concentrations of near pharmaceutical grade OC (oleoresin capsicum), a devastatingly effective inflammatory agent. Driven by pyrotechnic charges, the solution travels at 90 MPH with little chance of cross-contamination, and with enough energy to wrap around glasses or penetrate a face mask. Effect is immediate and lasts for up to 45 minutes. Unlike conventional sprays, the Guardian Angel does not lose pressure over time. &lt;/p&gt;       &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Easy to use!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;       &lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Push the safety tab away.

Its development began circa 1964 under the company designation HK MP-54, or simply HK 54. In the 1966, German police and Border Guard adopted the HK 54 as the MP-5, and it was originally available in two forms - MP-5 with fixed buttstock and MP-5A1 with retractable buttstock. Some years later HK slightly upgraded the design of MP-5, replacing the sights (from flip-up open notch rear and blade front to drum-type diopter rear and hooded post front) and the muzzle (replacing the two-slot muzzle compensator to the tree-lugs QD silencer mount without compensator). Other improvements made over the time concerned the magazines (early type magazines were of straight box type, latter - of curved box type for improved reliability). The trigger units also were upgraded - from original stamped steel with plastic grip to the all-plastic units, integral with grip, and with various fire modes and marking. Over the years MP-5 were adopted by the huge numbers of police, security and military forces around the world, including the German police and border guard, British police and elite Army SAS units, American police, FBI, Navy and Marine Corps, and many, many others. MP-5 is still manufactured in Germany by the HK itself, and also licensed to Greece, Iran, Pakistan and Mexico. The only real rival to the MP-5 in the terms of proliferation across the world is the famous Israeli &lt;a href="http://world.guns.ru/smg/smg17-e.htm"&gt;UZI submachine gun&lt;/a&gt;. Most interestingly, the German Army (Bundeswehr) did not adopted the MP-5, most probably due to the economical reasons, and turned instead to the... &lt;a href="http://world.guns.ru/smg/smg17-e.htm"&gt;UZI&lt;/a&gt; submachine guns, made under license in Belgium.&lt;br /&gt;The success of the MP-5 is outstanding. It is based on the high quality and reliability of the gun, great single-shot accuracy (thanks to its closed bolt action), great flexibility and, of cause, good marketing. It seems that no other modern SMG at this time can rival the MP-5 in popularity (UZI is not manufactured anymore). &lt;p&gt;The MP-5, basically, is no more than the scaled-down version of the &lt;a href="http://world.guns.ru/assault/as12-e.htm"&gt;Heckler-Koch G3 battle rifle&lt;/a&gt;. It shares the same basic design with stamped steel receiver and the same roller-delayed blowback action, derived from the post-war &lt;a href="http://world.guns.ru/assault/as60-e.htm"&gt;CETME rifles&lt;/a&gt;. The trigger units are hinged to the receiver and are now available with various fire mode options,  including 2 (Safe, Semi-auto), 3 (Safe, Semi, Full Auto) or 4 (Safe, Semi, Limited burst of 2 or 3 rounds, Full auto) position levers, ambidextrous or not, and marked with letters, digits or icons. The MP-5 is always fired from closed bolt for improved accuracy, but this limits the amount of sustained fire due to the barrel overheating and resulting cook-off problems. To avoid this, MP-5 cocking handle could be locked in the rear position in the special slot, leaving the bolt in the open position, with no cartridge in the chamber. To commence the fire one must simply release the cocking handle from its notch and then pull the trigger. Modern MP-5 submachine guns are equipped with three-lug quick detachable silencer mounts on the barrel. Sights are similar to other HK models, and consists of the front hooded post sight and the adjustable for windage and elevation drum-type diopter rear sight. Special quick-detachable clamp mounts allows for installation of night, optical and red-dot sights if required. Standard magazine capacity is 30 rounds, but shorter 15 rounds magazines are available. Special versions were developed and manufactured in limited numbers during 1980s-90s for the US Law Enforcement market, chambered for more powerful 10mm Auto (10x25mm) and .40S&amp;amp;W (10x22mm) ammunition. These guns can be easily distinguished from more common 9mm models by straight box 30 rounds magazines, made from plastic.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;While all of MP-5 can be fitted with silencers, there also a dedicated silenced version of MP-5, called MP5SD2 or SD3 (depending on the stock type). This version is equipped with non detachable integral silencer, and the vented barrel, to reduce the bullet muzzle velocity down below the speed of sound. The MP-5SD is intended to fire standard 9mm ammunition, not the special subsonic one.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Semi-automatic only versions of the MP-5 were once made for civilian market under the designation of HK-94, some with longer, 16 inch (406 mm) barrels, to conform with US laws. There also is an US company, called Special Weapons LLC, that is manufacturing semi-automatic, civilian MP-5 clones in various pistol calibers, including the .45ACP.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7202684371234699642-2055486244361288275?l=espionageequipment.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://espionageequipment.blogspot.com/feeds/2055486244361288275/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7202684371234699642&amp;postID=2055486244361288275' title='4 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7202684371234699642/posts/default/2055486244361288275'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7202684371234699642/posts/default/2055486244361288275'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://espionageequipment.blogspot.com/2008/10/heckler-und-koch-mp-5-germany.html' title='Heckler und Koch MP-5 (Germany)'/><author><name>Vas^Co</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06885492861887507677</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>4</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7202684371234699642.post-7332583125136597334</id><published>2008-10-05T11:20:00.003+07:00</published><updated>2008-10-05T11:23:44.221+07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Weapon Equipments'/><title type='text'>Steyr AUG para (Austria)</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://world.guns.ru/smg/AUG_smg.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 320px;" src="http://world.guns.ru/smg/AUG_smg.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Steyr AUG converted to fire 9mm Luger ammunition&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;b&gt;Caliber&lt;/b&gt; 9x19mm Luger/Parabellum&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Weight&lt;/b&gt; 3,3 kg empty&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Length&lt;/b&gt; 665 mm&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Magazine capacity&lt;/b&gt; 25 or 32 rounds&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Effective range&lt;/b&gt; 100 meters&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Rate of fire&lt;/b&gt; 700 rounds/minute&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;   &lt;p&gt; Modification of well-known assault rifle into an SMG.

This tank series would achieve lasting fame known as the "Stuart". The British who bought many prior to and after the United States entering the war gave this name to the tank. Further sub designators by the British were Stuart Mk 1 and Stuart Mk 2. The Mk 1 was gasoline powered and the Mk 2 was diesel powered. Soldiers of the United States had no special affectionate name for this vehicle (though they probably had a few un-affectionate names). This tank was built a bit on the heavy side of light tanks of the period as it came complete with a 37mm main gun and five .30cal machine guns (what other "light" tank can claim that). It was also noted for having stronger and heavier armor than it's foreign sisters (10 - 44mm).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;           &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:Arial;font-size:85%;"  &gt;Fast and reliable, the only downside of this vehicle was that the crew compartment was designed a bit on the clumsy side. Test variations were numbered M3E1, M3E2, M3E3 and mostly centered around diesel versus gasoline engines. No diesel tanks were adopted for US Army use. The M3E2 was a twin C&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Zr7tqBV6u0Y/SBK2aaZDmII/AAAAAAAAABQ/Aj4SqpQUPDI/s1600-h/uslt-M3M5-layout.gif"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Zr7tqBV6u0Y/SBK2aaZDmII/AAAAAAAAABQ/Aj4SqpQUPDI/s320/uslt-M3M5-layout.gif" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5193413885188872322" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:Arial;font-size:85%;"  &gt;adillac V8 engine combination driven through twin automatic transmissions. The Ordnance Department expressed doubt in the design and so GM had the tank driven from Detroit all the way to Aberdeen under it's own power, achieving 50mph, and with no problems. The M3E2 went on to become the M5. The M3E1 involved a Cummins Diesel and was rated as "satisfactory" but was "not adopted due to diesel policy". That was a reference to a priority the Navy had on all diesel fuel. M3E3 seems to have involved tests with a cast homogenous turret, a sloping front plate, storage box, and an attempt to reduce bullet "splash". All M3 tanks were built by American Car &amp;amp; Foundry. The US M3 Stuart series was the first American tank to see active service in WWII, and did so in North Africa.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:Arial;font-size:85%;"  &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;             &lt;center&gt;               &lt;table bg="" style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);" border="2" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="0" cols="2" width="50%"&gt;                 &lt;caption&gt;                 &lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Specifications&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;                 &lt;/caption&gt;                 &lt;tbody&gt;                   &lt;tr&gt;                     &lt;td&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:Arial;font-size:85%;"  &gt;Crew&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt;                     &lt;td&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:Arial;font-size:85%;"  &gt;4&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt;                   &lt;/tr&gt;                   &lt;tr&gt;                     &lt;td&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:Arial;font-size:85%;"  &gt;Weight&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt;                     &lt;td&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:Arial;font-size:85%;"  &gt;27,000 lbs&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt;                   &lt;/tr&gt;                   &lt;tr&gt;                     &lt;td&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:Arial;font-size:85%;"  &gt;Length&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt;                     &lt;td&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:Arial;font-size:85%;"  &gt;14' 7"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt;                   &lt;/tr&gt;                   &lt;tr&gt;                     &lt;td&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:Arial;font-size:85%;"  &gt;Width&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt;                     &lt;td&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:Arial;font-size:85%;"  &gt;8' 4"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt;                   &lt;/tr&gt;                   &lt;tr&gt;                     &lt;td&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:Arial;font-size:85%;"  &gt;Height&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt;                     &lt;td&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:Arial;font-size:85%;"  &gt;8' 2 3/8"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt;                   &lt;/tr&gt;                   &lt;tr&gt;                     &lt;td&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:Arial;font-size:85%;"  &gt;Armor&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt;                     &lt;td&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:Arial;font-size:85%;"  &gt;3/8" - 1.5"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt;                   &lt;/tr&gt;                   &lt;tr&gt;                     &lt;td&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:Arial;font-size:85%;"  &gt;Armament&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt;                     &lt;td&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:Arial;font-size:85%;"  &gt;1 x 37mm, 4 x .30cal&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt;                   &lt;/tr&gt;                   &lt;tr&gt;                     &lt;td&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:Arial;font-size:85%;"  &gt;Powerplant&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt;                     &lt;td&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:Arial;font-size:85%;"  &gt;See engine chart&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt;                   &lt;/tr&gt;                   &lt;tr&gt;                     &lt;td&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:Arial;font-size:85%;"  &gt;Performance&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt;                     &lt;td&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:Arial;font-size:85%;"  &gt;35 mph&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt;                   &lt;/tr&gt;                 &lt;/tbody&gt;               &lt;/table&gt;             &lt;/center&gt;           &lt;/div&gt;                                                        &lt;table bg="" style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255); width: 478px; height: 220px;" border="2" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="0" cols="2"&gt;&lt;caption&gt;                 &lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Engines&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;                 &lt;/caption&gt;                 &lt;tbody&gt;                   &lt;tr&gt;                     &lt;td style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:Arial;font-size:85%;"  &gt;Continental&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt;                     &lt;td&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:Arial;font-size:85%;"  &gt;A 7 cylinder radial air cooled gasoline engine Model W670-9A, 250hp.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt;                   &lt;/tr&gt;                   &lt;tr&gt;                     &lt;td&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:Arial;font-size:85%;"  &gt;Guiberson&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt;                     &lt;td&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:Arial;font-size:85%;"  &gt;A 9 cylinder radial air cooled diesel engine model T1020 Series 4, 250hp.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt;                   &lt;/tr&gt;                   &lt;tr&gt;                     &lt;td&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:Arial;font-size:85%;"  &gt;(M3E1) Cummins&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt;                     &lt;td&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:Arial;font-size:85%;"  &gt;Model HBS 600 Diesel, 6 cylinder.

This $95 million SRV1 is a deep water rescue device that can be airlifted to anywhere in the world on short notice, fit on the deck of at least 140 identified ships, and mate with the escape hatches on most of the worlds submarines. The SRV1 has a crew of three and can carry up to 15 men at a time to the surface. It can do this at the rate of four hours per trip (to allow for time to deal with decompression, battery recharging and maintenance.) &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;   &lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;   &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;     &lt;span&gt;       &lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;     &lt;/span&gt;   &lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;   &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;     &lt;span&gt;The system is shipped in eleven waterproof cargo containers, that can be flown by military or civilian cargo aircraft. Including flight time, set up time on the ship, and movement time to the site of the distressed submarine, the NATO SRV should be able to get there and have the SRV in the water within 72 hours. The SRV itself is 31 feet long and weighs 27 tons, and can go as deep as 3,000 feet (which is the maximum depth for most submarines.)&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;   &lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;   &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;     &lt;span&gt;       &lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;     &lt;/span&gt;   &lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;   &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;     &lt;span&gt;Britain, Norway and France cooperated to design and build SRV1. The U.S. is building a similar system, providing two rescue systems to deal with any of the several hundred subs in service, getting in trouble. The NATO SRV will be based in Clyde, Scotland and is managed by the UK Ministry of Defense.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span&gt;Source : &lt;a href="http://www.strategypage.com/military_photos/military_photos_2008330133848.aspx"&gt;www.strategypage.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7202684371234699642-1240637767038100802?l=espionageequipment.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://espionageequipment.blogspot.com/feeds/1240637767038100802/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7202684371234699642&amp;postID=1240637767038100802' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7202684371234699642/posts/default/1240637767038100802'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7202684371234699642/posts/default/1240637767038100802'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://espionageequipment.blogspot.com/2008/04/srv1-nato-underwater-rescue-vehicle.html' title='SRV1 NATO Underwater Rescue Vehicle'/><author><name>Vas^Co</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06885492861887507677</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Zr7tqBV6u0Y/SA4XLqZDmEI/AAAAAAAAAA4/8AEWQOk7N9M/s72-c/srv1.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7202684371234699642.post-1940172876780711253</id><published>2008-02-04T09:15:00.000+07:00</published><updated>2008-12-11T05:48:27.116+07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Weapon Equipments'/><title type='text'>XM8 Rifle</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Zr7tqBV6u0Y/R6Z2PHnhYFI/AAAAAAAAAAo/GyNCNM0rgO8/s1600-h/XM8_Rifle_1.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Zr7tqBV6u0Y/R6Z2PHnhYFI/AAAAAAAAAAo/GyNCNM0rgO8/s320/XM8_Rifle_1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5162944024941781074" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;The rejected U.S. Assault Rifle, the XM8, is a modular weapon that can be fitted with three different barrels (9", 12.5", 20".)  &lt;span id="content"&gt;&lt;p&gt;The 9" barrel is for a very compact weapon for tank crews or commandoes. With the nine inch barrel and the butt stock retracted, the weapon has an overall length of 21 inches. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The 12.5" barrel is the standard, for use with the assault rifle or, with the butt stock retracted, it serves as a carbine. The 20 inch barrel is thicker as well and used for the light machine-gun version. There is also a lighter 20 inch barrel for use by snipers. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The assault rifle can be equipped with the new M320 40mm grenade launcher.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span id="content"&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Zr7tqBV6u0Y/R6Z2qHnhYGI/AAAAAAAAAAw/FlbmG_YCXNk/s1600-h/XM8_Rifle_2.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Zr7tqBV6u0Y/R6Z2qHnhYGI/AAAAAAAAAAw/FlbmG_YCXNk/s320/XM8_Rifle_2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5162944488798249058" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span id="content"&gt;&lt;p&gt;The U.S. Army is happy with the initial field testing of it's new M-8 (or XM-8) Assault Rifle. One of the major design features of the M-8 that makes it superior to the M-16 is the way it handles propellant gasses. The M-16 has these gasses going into the receiver, depositing layers of crud from propellant that did not completely burn. The M-8 keeps the propellant gasses out of the receiver and this reduces the cleaning time by about 70 percent. The troops appreciate this. More importantly, the reduced amount of crud in the receiver greatly increases reliability (far fewer rounds getting stuck.) In fact, the M-8 is designed to fire 15,000 rounds without cleaning or lubrication, even in a dirty (like a desert) environment. Troops are not allowed to let their weapons go like that, but this degree of reliability makes it less likely that rifles won't jam in a sandstorm or after getting dropped in the mud. The M-8 barrel and receiver is also of more sturdy construction, making it less likely that the user will get injured if there's something in the barrel when a round is fired. This is not unusual in combat. All you have to do is accidentally jam the barrel into the dirt while hitting the ground or otherwise avoiding enemy fire, and then have to return fire. On an M-16, this can often cause the rifle to, well, blow up in your face. This unfortunate event is much less likely with the M-8. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The M-8 comes with a battery powered sight that includes a red-dot, close-combat capability, plus infrared laser aimer and laser illuminator with a backup etched reticule. The sights on the M-8, similar to those which have been showing up on M-16s over the past decade, make it much easier to hit something. The M-8 is better designed for "ease of use" and support troops who don't handle their weapons frequently will find that they can more easily hit something with an M-8. Tests, using people who have not handled a rifle frequently, have demonstrated this. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Because the attachment points for rail mounted devices are built into the M-8, the sight can be factory zeroed. The M-16, because it has rail mounting hardware mounted on it, requires frequent re-zeroing in the field. This is a feature very much appreciated by the troops. The attachment points allow additional sighting devices to be quickly added to the weapon. A new 40mm, single shot grenade launcher (the M320) will be available for the M-8 and can be quickly installed by troops, without special tools. The M-8 is designed for easy left or right handed operation.&lt;/p&gt;Source Page : &lt;a href="http://www.strategypage.com/military_photos/XM8_Rifle.aspx"&gt;http://www.strategypage.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7202684371234699642-1940172876780711253?l=espionageequipment.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://espionageequipment.blogspot.com/feeds/1940172876780711253/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7202684371234699642&amp;postID=1940172876780711253' title='298 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7202684371234699642/posts/default/1940172876780711253'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7202684371234699642/posts/default/1940172876780711253'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://espionageequipment.blogspot.com/2008/02/xm8-rifle.html' title='XM8 Rifle'/><author><name>Vas^Co</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06885492861887507677</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Zr7tqBV6u0Y/R6Z2PHnhYFI/AAAAAAAAAAo/GyNCNM0rgO8/s72-c/XM8_Rifle_1.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>298</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7202684371234699642.post-4348872651857330286</id><published>2008-02-02T19:26:00.001+07:00</published><updated>2008-02-02T20:00:23.629+07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Mortir'/><title type='text'>MORTIR KAL. 81 MM ( MO-3 )</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.pindad.com/images/MO-3.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt;

At that time, the SMAW included the MK153 Mod 0 launcher, the MK3 Mod 0 HEDP encased rocket, the MK4 Mod 0 practice rocket and the MK217 Mod 0 9mm spotting cartridge. The MK6 Mod 0 encased HEAA rocket is being added to the inventory. The MOD 0 has demonstrated several shortcomings. A series of modifications is currently planned to address the deficiencies. They include a resleeving process for bubbled launch tubes, rewriting/drafting operator and technical manuals, a kit that will reduce environmental intrusion into the trigger mechanism, and an optical sight modification to allow the new HEAA rocket to be used effectively against moving armor targets. Recently fielded were new boresight bracket kits that, when installed, will solve the loss of boresight problem between launch tube and spotting rifle. During Desert Storm, 150 launchers and 5,000 rockets were provided to the U.S. Army. Since then, the Army has shown increased interest in the system.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;                &lt;/div&gt;&lt;h2 style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;Description&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;    &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify;"&gt;The SMAW is an 83mm man-portable weapon system consisting of the MK153 Mod 0 launcher, the MK 3 Mod 0 encased HEDP rocket, the MK 6 Mod 0 encased HEAA rocket, and the MK217 Mod 0 spotting rifle cartridge. The launcher consists of a fiberglass launch tube, a 9mm spotting rifle, an electro-mechanical firing mechanism, open battle sights, and a mount for the MK42 Mod 0 optical and AN/PVS-4 night sights. The High Explosive, Dual Purpose (HEDP) rocket is effective against bunkers, masonry and concrete walls, and light armor. The High Explosive Anti-Armor (HEAA) rocket is effective against current tanks without additional armor. The 9mm spotting rounds are ballistically matched to the rockets and increase the gunner's first round hit probability. Training is accomplished with the MK7 Mod 0 encased common practice rocket and the MK213 Mod 0 noise cartridge.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The SMAW MK153 Mod 0 launcher is based on the Israeli B-300 and consists of the launch tube, the spotting rifle, the firing mechanism, and mounting brackets. The launch tube is fiberglass/epoxy with a gel coat on the bore. The spotting rifle is a British design and is mounted on the right side of the launch tube. The firing mechanism mechanically fires the spotting rifle and uses a magneto to fire the rocket. The mounting brackets connect the components and provide the means for boresighting the weapon. The encased rockets are loaded at the rear of the launcher. The spotting cartridges are stored in a magazine in the cap of the encased rocket.&lt;/p&gt;Source Page : &lt;a href="http://tech.military.com/equipment/view/89064/shoulder-launched-multipurpose-assault-weapon-%28smaw%29.html"&gt;http://tech.military.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify;"&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7202684371234699642-7841391603891348878?l=espionageequipment.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://espionageequipment.blogspot.com/feeds/7841391603891348878/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7202684371234699642&amp;postID=7841391603891348878' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7202684371234699642/posts/default/7841391603891348878'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7202684371234699642/posts/default/7841391603891348878'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://espionageequipment.blogspot.com/2007/11/shoulder-launched-multipurpose-assault.html' title='Shoulder-Launched Multipurpose Assault Weapon (SMAW)'/><author><name>Vas^Co</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06885492861887507677</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7202684371234699642.post-904520467176755651</id><published>2007-11-18T04:57:00.001+07:00</published><updated>2007-11-18T05:06:46.864+07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Weapon Equipments'/><title type='text'>M4 Carbine</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://images.military.com/EQGpics/EQG_WSAM4_1.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px;" src="http://images.military.com/EQGpics/EQG_WSAM4_1.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h2&gt;History&lt;/h2&gt;    &lt;p&gt;Entered Army Service: 1997&lt;/p&gt;                &lt;h2&gt;Description&lt;/h2&gt;    &lt;ol&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;With a collapsible stock&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;A compact version of the M16A2 rifle&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;A flat-top upper receiver accessory rail and a detachable handle/rear aperture site assembly&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;The M4 enables a soldier operating in close quarters to engage targets at extended range with accurate, lethal fire.
