The new Generation of 9 mm semi-auto Pistols

Image
9 mm semi-auto  Pistols Less than 15 years ago, the panoply of handguns in service with police and military for- ces of Western nations was so varied (as regards both types and calibres) as to border on total anarchy. It was not uncommon to find, within a single police corps and sometimes even within a single army, simultaneous-and often semi-official or para-official-deploy. ment of radically different weapons such as 7.62 mm Browning (.32 ACP) semi-auto pistols and .357 Magnum revolvers. This variety, which ran contrary to the most elementary rationalisation/standardisa tion/interoperability requirements, was mainly a result (and an indication) of the low importance then attached to close-quarter personal defence weapons by both military and police forces. The military were much more concerned with the evolution of assault rifles and squad weapons; and the police forces had not yet been forced to face the terrorist threat, whose growth during the 1970s was to plunge several Weste...

Low-kick Grenade from FN

Image
  Anybody who has fired an old-fashioned Lee-Enfield .303 will recall only too well the moment of joy when the rifle butt bangs into the shoulder to leave an uncomfortable reminder of the range for some hours. Firing a rifle grenade has provided infantrymen with an even less pleasant "visiting card", and apprehension about this when they have to fire grenades equipped with bullet trap devices specially designed to fire ball ammunitions is considerable. So much so, that accuracy can be reduced, and selection of window and door firing positions in town combat conditions can be affected. This problem has been ad- dressed by Fabrique Nationale Herstal with their grenade which will be exhibited publicly for the first time at the AUSA show and at the Defendory International Exhi- bition this autumn. It is a rifle gre- nade of totally new design which should definitively put an end to any reservations which users of such equipment may still harbour.Up to now this type of firing was ...
