Big fan of Timex Ironman Triathlon, here. http://www.timex.com/bin/catalog.tmx?key=m_sports_ironman&ppn=no For garrison/civie, a Cordura-Velcro watchband is much more comfortable than the plastic one that Ironman comes with. http://www.voguestrap.com/voguestrap/fastwrap.html For the field, a...

Do a Google search on â Å“Rubber Training Gunsâ ?, â Å“Police Training Equipmentâ ?, or â Å“Martial Arts Training Equipmentâ ?. These places sell rubber, 1:1 replica guns for close quarter simulation; either disarmament simulation, or weapons retention simulation. [M16 rifle being the closest...

C-6 empty is 11.0 kg. (Sorry, it's all I could find.)

Thank you gentlemen, helicopter pilots and crews, et al So, compared to a conventional tail rotor, NOTAR uses more energy, and provides less yaw performance and stability? Insufficient yaw performance/stability for an attack/a military helicopter pilot, but sufficient for a Calgary Cop chasing...

I've seen pic's of Chinooks with telescoping, mid-air refueling probes (MH-47?). How effective has mid-air refueling with helicopters been, so far?

I think the only things, in the Wheeler's catalog, that's CADPAT Arid are the name tags. So, they do have the material in stock. E-mail them for a special order on the 1964 Rucksack in CADPAT Arid. Or, e-mail them for a special order on their Rucksack cover in CADPAT Arid...

Tsunami are caused by underwater earthquakes and/or underwater landslides. Both events require huge masses of rock to move for devastating waves to be generated. I'm not familiar with how well conventional explosives transmit force during underwater detonation, or how much would be required to...

Thanks Inch, Your point about engine failure auto-rotation explains the same underlying query I had of  NOTAR's effectiveness [â Å“why it isn't it in more widespread use?â ?] I guess the â ?variable pitch fanâ ? in the NOTAR system (which does the job of the tail rotor) would not be as...

Hey, if any of these 41 CF-18's are two-seaters, 431 Squadron could use some new aircraft.  :D  ;D :D  ;D :D  ;D :D  ;D :D  ;D :D  ;D :D  ;D :D  ;D :D  ;D :D  ;D :D  ;D

I first heard about NO TAil Rotor helicopters on a documentary about Air Services Unit of the Calgary Police Service (Calgary Police fly the MD520) Support Section -> HAWC1 & Air Services Unit: http://www.gov.calgary.ab.ca/police/inside/frame1.html. It sounds like a keen idea to use an...

The M16 family of weapons (C7 inclusive) has gas going directly into the bolt carrier (bolt key). How do rifles with a bolt and gas piston, FNC for example, compare to the M16 family? Is there a difference in accuracy? Is there a difference in maintenance? Would selecting a rifle with a...

If you are dismounted, and a vehicle is not immediately available, your Black Cadillac's will need engines that are in decent repair for you to get around. PT wise, I'd rather ruck march. Running I'd rather do during fire and movement; don't have the ruck on my back, and there is someone to â...

Matt, General Rupertus forgot about SAW Gunners, and GPMG Gunners ~ more accurately = â ?Your weapon is your lifeâ ?. I'm sure the General was going by the creed â ?Every Marine is a riflemanâ ?. Favourite combination of CF Issue kit: Hexamine Fuel Tab's + Canteen Cup Stove + Canteen Cup +...

Why things are seen: * Texture * Colour   Movement   Noise   Position * Shine * Shape   Silhouette   Shadow   Scale   Spacing â Å“Disruptive Patternâ ? as the British coined it, is the mentality behind any camouflage pattern in a fatigue/field uniform: which is meant to address...

This system might provide stability for a laser/particle beam weapon: http://www.fas.org/man/dod-101/sys/ship/weaps/mk-15.htm The M61A1 and a particle beam are both direct fire weapons. The Phalanx CIWS Mk15 type system would provide both stability and control for a direct fire, particle beam...

Combat Boots = Full Leather Jungle Boots = Canvas/Cordura Uppers & Leather Lowers (with drain holes) Jungle Boots were designed for tropical (jungle) terrain, and were used during the Vietnam War. They are lighter, designed to get wet, and designed to drain/dry quicker than regular combat...

â Å“Particle Beamâ ? sounds like a remnant of the Strategic Defence Initiative, counter ballistic missile satellite, from the Regan era. Sounds like a powerful/power consuming, line of sight/direct fire weapon. If it's bigger and heavier than the M61A1, I don't know if fast air, such as the...
