During yesterday's drive home CKNW had on as guest a Prof. of Criminology and Social Sciences or something to that affect, from Simon Fraser University. He was asked If in his opinion a total ban on hand guns would have any effect on the murder rate in Canada, to which he replied No. In his...

Kirkhill, though that sounds like a very feasible plan do you not think the need for strategic airlift is greater?

I have read the reports and stories and it seems to this untrained person that those Iraqi inmates were made to feel very uncomfortable so as to precipitate them releasing any information they were harbouring (unclear as to whether any good Intel was acquired). The CBC should querier the other...

As we have heard today the Liberals have pulled back from their fast track commitment of badly needed airframes which included the C27. One of the resons for this about face is vigorous politicking by Bombardier to have their Dash-8 as a made in Canada alternative to purchasing the C27 Spartan...

Good assessment Blackshirt. Even my wife a registered nurse started an argument with me yesterday as to why this Liberal mini budget is not just another attempt to buy themselves in as the governing party, again.  :brickwall: Most people have effectively been scared by the Liberals and have...

This new X-sport of tossing around grenades needs an appropriate name if it is to take off on TV.  ;D For example just putting a pistol to your head and pulling the trigger to see if you are lucky enough to line up the ONE is called Russian Roulette, very sexy name, every one now wants to be...

Apparently he was badly wounded in that action and would have bled to death on the spot if not for the life saving efforts of the second medic of that US unit (the unit usually only had one medic, except that he was badly wounded in the same action). And for their efforts the Americans are being...

Reccesoldier, your description sounds to me like a Panhard VBL. 8)

Question: Does the Carl G still use a .22 cal round to sight in the main projectile, or has a laser ranging sight ( perhaps passive night viewing or thermal )   been added?

There is a company called FSONA that has a line of sight laser SONET transmission system. It uses Laser technology (probably diodes) of 1550nm wavelength, which are supposed to be eye-safe. Transmission distance from Tx to Rx is stated as 4000m. The system is supposed to work through rain...

DG-41, this has yet to be seen. Personally I am not holding my breath.

What seems to burn most peoples fuse brightly about this situation today, is that RD accepted a patronage appointment for Liberal optics sake, from the very party and similar leadership that made the Rwandan mission untenable to begin with. :rage: Even today there is much to be desired of the...

Here is a link to a paper written by Steven Ashley, explaining the technology of Super Cavitation, I have included some excerpts below: http://www.diodon349.com/Kursk-Memorial/Warpdrive_underwater.htm Although current funding levels for supercavitation research are said to be modest (around...

Ok, yes the original report was from a science fiction site, but if you follow the link that I provided to the Diehl BGT Defence GmbH & Co. KG site (a major arms manufacturer for the Bundesweher), you will see that they claim to have a concept demonstrator that is supposed to be superior to the...

One of the reported manufacturers Diehl BGT Defence GmbH & Co. KG, has this say about their Barracuda torpedo: Barracuda is a technology demonstration program for a supercavitating underwater missile for defence against torpedoes and for engagement of submarines. It is equipped with a rocket...

My understanding of the events as relayed by the Belgian Para's: - According to the Belgian officers there was strong evidence that something big was about to happen. The Belgian paras wanted to draw in their small dispersed forces and form reaction teams in a few key areas. RD with his wealth...

Funny that I didn't read about any fundamentalist crackpot (insert: muslim, jewish, christian...) ranting how this was retribution from god about someones perceived ills, such as happened after Katrina. ::)
