<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">A group of Quora users sought to answer the question "What are some historical weapons that most people have never heard of?" The answers provide an amazing insight into the history of war, and offer examples of some of the most ingenious — yet impractical — weaponry ever created. </span></div>

<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">Developed by the U.S. for use against Japan during World War II, the bat bomb was literally that. Each bomb would contain 40 hibernating bats, each of which would be strapped with a small napalm bomb and a timer.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">The bombs could deploy their own parachutes, giving the bats time to fly out and look for places to roost. They would then explode, potentially burning down whatever structure they had chosen as their new home.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">Conventional nuclear weapons are capable of destroying entire cities, but during the Cold War, the idea of 'tactical' nuclear weapons emerged. These smaller nukes were limited-yield weapons that would be launched from the ground at targets on the battlefield. Nuclear artillery was delivered with shells and short-range rockets. </span></div>

<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">Pigeon-guided missiles were developed by noted behaviorist B.F. Skinner during Project Pigeon. Although the project was ultimately cancelled because of the impracticality of the weapons, the idea of pigeon-guided missiles showed promise.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">The missile had an array of lenses at the front that projected an image of the target to an interior screen. The pigeons were conditioned to peck at the target on the screen. The pigeon's pecks corrected the missile's flight-path. </span></div>

<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">This is just awesome. Jim 'Pee Wee' Martin, a 93-year-old WWII veteran paratrooper, just did the same jump out of a plane into Normandy that he did for D-Day 70 years ago when he was 23-years-old. But he says this jump was much easier because "there wasn't anybody shooting at me today." </span><span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: inherit; font-size: 0.9375rem; line-height: 1.6;">Awesome. Check out VIDEO of his jump below:</span></div>

<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">The trigger acts as a whammy bar and on the clip of the gun is an open chord fretless mini guitar. Other knobs control the pickup volume and tone as you would expect on a normal guitar.</span><br />

They then had to decide on which gun was best suited for what they wanted. The M16 and the Uzi were written off when they realised that the AK47 was the ‘gun of the revolution’.</span></div>

<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: 'Lucida Sans', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 1.071428571rem; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
In 2010, the Glock 19 was Glock’s best selling gun, commercially. Now in its fourth generation and still widely regarded for its reliability and durability the midsize 19 remains a very popular choice for concealed carry, target shooting at the range, and home defense. The differences between the four generations of Glock 19s include grip patterns, finger grooves in the stock, the addition of a tactical rail, and for 2011, interchangeable backstraps for a “perfect” fit. Beyond that, not much has changed over the years.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: 'Lucida Sans', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 1.071428571rem; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
Glocks, like any other gun, can show wear and tear over time, especially with heavy use. Tenifer slides show holster wear and night sites grow dim. In fact, that’s exactly what was happening with a friend’s Gen2 Glock 19. The pistol was starting to look a bit tired. Rather than shelling out $500 or more for a new gun or going through the hassle of selling it, I convinced my friend to see what we could do to upgrade the Glock, spending around $200 to turn it into a custom carry pistol.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: 'Lucida Sans', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 1.071428571rem; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
This particular Glock 19 rides every day in a Fobus paddle holster as my friend makes deliveries and runs errands for a local firm. Because he has little kids, my friend doesn’t chamber a round until he leaves for work each morning and he unloads the 19 each night when he returns home. So the gun is in and out of the holster at least a couple times every day. As such, the slide shows signs typical signs of wear. At around 15 years old, the factory night sites have lost much of their usable glow.</div>

With a $200 limit, here’s what we had done to the Gen 2 Glock 19:</div>

AFTER: The Glock 19’s slide and barrel sport a titanium-colored DiamondKote refinish by M&R Arms Specialties in Mt. Clemens, Mich. Note the bright green Truglo TFO Brite Site.</div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: 'Lucida Sans', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 1.071428571rem; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
The first upgrade — refinishing the slide in DiamondKote — would be purely cosmetic. At the recommendation of a local gunsmith, I sent theGlock’s slide and barrel to Mike Boglarsky at M&R Arms Specialties (www.mrarms.com) in Mt. Clemens, Mich. M&R offers a multitude of color options, from matte black to gold to purple. Being somewhat traditional but wanting to jazz up the Glock a bit, I was leaning toward the silver until Mike told me that he could also do a titanium color. Relying solely on Mike’s advice, I gave him the go-ahead.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: 'Lucida Sans', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 1.071428571rem; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
Mike says he can apply color treatments to the Glock’s polymer frame as well, which I respectfully declined. In a couple days, Mike called to let me know the slide and barrel were ready for pickup. It looks great and the subtle but classy titanium color is a great match for theGlock’s dark polymer frame. Cost: $57 + shipping from M&R Arms</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: 'Lucida Sans', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 1.071428571rem; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
The second upgrade — replacing the old night sights — would be a much more functional change and a must-have on a carry or defense gun. I selected Truglo’s Brite Site TFO, a combination Tritium and fiber optic sight that offers a bright green dot for a front sight and slightly less bright (although very visible) yellow dots for the rear sight. Never having sighted a gun through bi-colored night sites, I worried that the green and yellow dots would be gimmicky or confusing. Thankfully, neither is true. The Truglo sights are easily seen in bright daylight or in darkness. The brighter green front sight is easy to acquire and the yellow dots in the rear sight are easy to align. Cost: $97 from CheaperThanDirt.com</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: 'Lucida Sans', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 1.071428571rem; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
The third upgrade — adding a Clipdraw — would also enhance the functionality of the gun, at least in how my friend will use it on a daily basis. Since his daily routine requires a lot of driving and errands in Michigan’s four seasons, he decided to try carrying inside the waistband with a Clipdraw installed—a setup that would allow easy “holstering” and removal of the Glock as needed. A simple but well-designed piece of black powder-coated metal, the Clipdraw attaches to the Glock securely and holds it inside the waistband securely, keeping it steady but allowing some movement to accommodate sitting and standing with a concealed weapon. Moreover the Clipdraw keeps the Glock at just the right height, allowing the user to get fingers around the stock when drawing.</div>

From the cameraman:<br />
<blockquote>
<span class="goog-text-highlight"> “I got a hit a total
of 4 times. My helmet cam died and i made it down the mountain on my
own. I was also hit in the side of my helmet and my eye pro was shot off
of my face. We were doing overwatch on the village to recon and gather
intel. I was point, heading down the face of the hill with the LT. when
we got hit. The rest of the squad was pinned down by machine gun fire. I
didn’t start the video until a few mins into the firefight for obvious
reasons. I came out into the open to draw fire so my squad could get to
safety. </span><span class="goog-text-highlight">A round struck the tube
by my hand of the 203 grenade launcher which knocked it out of my
hands. When I picked the rifle back up it was still functional, but the
grenade launcher tube had a nice sized 7.62 cal bullet hole in it and
was rendered useless.”</span></blockquote>
This guy is an absolute badass. If any of those dirty Taliban rats
are still alive today, I’m sure they are having reoccurring nightmares
about the American super soldier that couldn’t be killed. Incredible.

The G2 Research 9mm RIP round has been making waves online over the weekend. The company claims its 96 gr copper bullet is “the last round you will ever need”. The design is inspired by a triangular tipped surgical tool called the Trocar. It has 8 segmented spikes which break off as the bullet enters its target, while the solid base continues on its original trajectory.</div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 10px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">This is not the first segmented bullet round to have been developed. Two examples of segmented bullets designed to break apart are the popular CCI .22 Long Rifle Segmented HP round and the Winchester </span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">PDX1 Segmented Slug. The theory behind these rounds is that many pieces cause more internal damage and </span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">hemorrhaging than one solid slug</span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">. The downside is that the remaining bullet has significantly less mass after the spikes break off. The solid copper bullet weighs 96 gr in total. After the spikes are dispersed you are left with a 9mm caliber 50 gr slug boring through the target.

G2R RIP vs. Pumpkin.</div>

<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; text-align: justify;">So the question is wether or not one 50 gr 9mm slug + eight (lets say 6 gr) spikes is more damaging than a single 96 grain 13mm slug? I can’t say I know the answer. We are reaching out the company to ask if they are willing to send us some test ammunition. If they are willing to supply it, we will test it and share the results with y’all.</span></div>

<span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">The G2R RIP should be on the market soon in 9mm, with .380 ACP, .357 SIG, .40 S&W and .45 ACP coming later. Pricing has not been announced. </span></div>

The $10.95 part replaces the standard floor plate of a 42 magazine allowing the shooter to get more hand on the pistol. The extension does not alter the capacity of the magazine.</span></div>

We are all tired of gun art (as opposed to guns that are art) which is mostly limited to artists melting down AK rifles and turning them into park benches, or putting mutilated gun sculptures outside prominent buildings around the world.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">The G2 Research 9mm RIP round has been making waves online over the weekend. The company claims its 96 gr copper bullet is “the last round you will ever need”. The design is inspired by a triangular tipped surgical tool called the Trocar. It has 8 segmented spikes which break off as the bullet enters its target, while the solid base continues on its original trajectory.</span></div>

<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 10px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;"><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">This is not the first segmented bullet round to have been developed. Two examples of segmented bullets designed to break apart are the popular CCI .22 Long Rifle Segmented HP round and the Winchester </span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">PDX1 Segmented Slug. The theory behind these rounds is that many pieces cause more internal damage and </span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">hemorrhaging than one solid slug</span><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">. The downside is that the remaining bullet has significantly less mass after the spikes break off. The solid copper bullet weighs 96 gr in total. After the spikes are dispersed you are left with a 9mm caliber 50 gr slug boring through the target. If this round was a </span>regular<span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> hollow point, it would have expanded to 13mm but retained all 96 grain of weight.</span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: black; color: white; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">So the question is wether or not one 50 gr 9mm slug + eight (lets say 6 gr) spikes is more damaging than a single 96 grain 13mm slug? I can’t say I know the answer. We are reaching out the company to ask if they are willing to send us some test ammunition. If they are willing to supply it, we will test it and share the results with y’all.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: black; color: white; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">The G2R RIP should be on the market soon in 9mm, with .380 ACP, .357 SIG, .40 S&W and .45 ACP coming later. Pricing has not been announced. </span></div>

<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">At the Milipol expo in Paris FN Herstal unveiled a new prototype PDW (Personal Defense Weapon) variant of the FN SCAR. The FN SCAR-P features a sleek upper receiver that lacks a full length top rail and heat vents (for a gun designed to be carried at the ready in tight spaces, less is more). The SCAR-P has a new collapsable wire stock with a <em style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">very</em> thick recoil pad. In order to accommodate the stock they removed the ”bumper” barrel screw retainers that are normally on each side of the receiver just forward of the eject port, which makes the gun look a lot better in my opinion (at the possible expense of making maintenance harder).</span></div>

<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">One thing I like about FN is that they are not afraid to show you a work in progress. This is actually the third FN SCAR PDW we have seen in as many years.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">It’s likely that every review of Walther’s new PPK/S .22LR will include some Bond reference – and why shouldn’t they? Bond made the PPK/S iconic, and according to Walther’s marketing team, the PPK/S .22 was re-introduced due to a re-kindled Bond fervor. This is certainly in no small part due to (a) Daniel Craig’s surprising fittedness in the role and (b) the re-introduction of the PPK as Bond’s sidearm in Skyfall. (Please ignore the fact that the Skyfall PPK had three LEDs that would have likely blinded the operator when in use). To give you some background that likely won’t be covered in other articles on this variation of the PPK: Ian Fleming, Bond’s creator, was issued the diminutive and hardly-lethal “Baby Browning” .25ACP when Fleming served in WWII-era Naval Intelligence. </span></div>

<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">Resultantly, Fleming’s James Bond carried the similarly non-lethal .25ACP Beretta 418 because Fleming considered that appropriate (although he confessed in print that his firearm-related knowledge was extremely limited). Boldly, Geoffrey Boothroyd, a firearm expert and prolific writer himself, wrote Fleming to inform him that the 418 was “a lady’s gun”, and instead suggested that Bond carry the more powerful S&W Airweight revolver instead. When Fleming insisted on an automatic, Boothroyd suggested the PPK in .32/7.65mm. Consequently, in Dr. No, a service armorer named “Major Boothroyd” made a brief appearance to issue Bond his new PPK. While Fleming immortalized Boothroyd out of gratitude, he and Boothroyd also inadvertently propelled the PPK to legend status. Fifty-five years later, the Bond franchise is going strong, its fans prompting the Stateside re-introduction of the PPK/S in .22LR.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">Ceská zbrojovka (CZ) plans to launch its new 9 mm P-09 pistol onto the export market at the IWA arms fair in early March 2014.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 10px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">The P-09′s roots can be traced back to the widely fielded CZ 75 and, in particular, the P-07 Duty variant that the company developed in 2008. Little remained of the original CZ75 in that design, which features a compact 95 mm barrel, a polymer frame, and uses the company’s new Omega trigger mechanism with a redesigned lock.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">It proved popular and has been adopted by several forces, but feedback has led CZ to revisit it as a ‘full size’ service pistol with a 115 mm barrel that has now been designated the P-09 and weighs 840 g unloaded. Some users also requested revised grip dimensions and the P-09 features a new stronger polymer material in the frame and a steel slide.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">CAI is now producing a splendid AK74 clone that they have dubbed the M74 Sporter, and I asked our great editor Phil White if I could review one. Let me tell you, we deal with a lot of companies here at The Firearm Blog, but CAI is really on the ball when it comes to reviewing one of their products. A single email sent by Phil to the manufacturer results in a gun at my FFL, with accessories and all kinds of cool ancillary stuff in about 4 or 5 days! To me this speaks well of their organization as far as the administrative side goes, and to me that is an indicator of a good company overall, and there I must give them some serious credit. That being said, I was very excited to have to opportunity to test their AK74.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">The M74 Sporter is built on a surplus excellent Bulgarian parts kit (many hold the Bulgarian kits to be among the best out there) and it just looks great. The original furniture is retained (not sure what parts they used for 922r compliance aside from the trigger group, receiver, and barrel but this gun looks fantastic!) as well as most other components. The gun came with the original muzzle brake and bayonet too, which is just awesome! The Bakelite bayonet really adds some charm and I would love to have one just because I think it looks neat. Also after some reading, the Bulgarian “Circle 10″ magazines seem to be held in high regard by the AK community and they definitely work well in the rifle, as did all other mags tested.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">I got to the range on a chilly afternoon and set the target up at 100 yards to get a feel for the accuracy. As usual I shot five groups of five shots.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">A decade ago, shortly after my 21st birthday, I purchased my first handgun, a Springfield XD chambered in .40 S&W. I was pleased with the handgun and it did absolutely everything I wanted it to do. Its only downfall was that the slide was not stamped “Heckler and Koch”. At that time in my life I was reading a lot of Tom Clancy and Richard Marcinko Books, and occasionally played the Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six video game. All the main characters, heroes and villains, used Heckler and Koch weapons. Any web query and gun counter guru all agreed that Heckler and Koch made the best firearms in the world. Granted it would be hard to legally own an MP5 or a G36, but the H&K USP and P2000 series were readily available at my local Sportsman’s Warehouse. I wanted one, that’s all there was to it. I spent the summer farming and ranching as well as working for the USDA Forest. I saved up enough money, sold the Springfield XD to a good friend and found a Heckler and Koch P2000 for a decent price on Gunbroker.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">“The Gladiator is the culmination of more than 40 years of using 1911s, both in the service and as gunsmiths,” said Steve White, Maximus Arms partner and chief operating officer. “We have worked hard to refine every aspect of the gun to ensure it meets our exacting standards, which is why each gun is hand-assembled and tested before it is shipped. You don’t know just how comfortable a 1911 can feel in your hand until you’ve held and fired our Gladiator.”</span></div>

<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 10px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">The press release follows …</span></div>
<blockquote style="border-left-color: rgb(211, 211, 211); border-left-style: solid; border-left-width: 1px; font-family: 'Noto Sans', Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 16px; font-style: italic; line-height: 24px; margin: 20px 0px; padding: 1px 0px 1px 30px;">
<div style="margin-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 10px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">TrackingPoint™, creator of the world’s first Precision Guided Firearm (PGF) system, today announced the newest addition to its smart rifle line, the XS4 338 Lapua Magnum. Combining the power of a large caliber rifle with a smaller McMillan A5 hunting stock, the XS4 delivers both stopping power and convenience, integrated with TrackingPoint’s revolutionary TTX (Tag Track Xact) technology—the most accurate targeting system on the market today. The company also announced that it intends to announce additional new PGF models at the 2014 NSSF SHOT Show, January 14-17, 2014 in Las Vegas.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 10px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">Like TrackingPoint’s XS1, the new XS4 has a maximum TTX range of 1,200 yards, the longest effective range offered by the company. The precision rifle’s performance is driven by a bolt-action, .338 Lapua Magnum Surgeon™ XL action. The rifle’s 27-inch, Krieger™ cut-barrel is fitted in a traditional-style, adjustable McMillan A5 chassis. It also features TrackingPoint’s longest parallax-free zoom: 6 to 35X.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 10px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">“Our customers have been asking for the power of our 338 Lapua Magnum smart rifles in the form factor of our popular XS3 hunting model,” said John Lupher, Chief Technology Officer for TrackingPoint. “One of the best parts of working with our community of TrackingPoint PGF owners is that we can learn from their feedback and develop products to suit customer needs as our company grows.”</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 10px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">Pre-orders for the XS4 are now being accepted. The rifle will be demonstrated at the 2014 NSSF SHOT Show as well as at other industry trade shows in the coming year.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">FN Herstal’s update of the FN MINIMI, the FN MINIMI Mk3 is probably the most important new firearm of 2013 given its widespread use by the militaries of North American, South America, Europe, South East Asia and Oceania. The new FN MINIMI Mk3, which will be chambered in both 7.62mm and 5.56mm NATO, features a number of upgraded components over the previous version.</span></div>
